Jared! I just find it to be so simply elegant and wonderful. It reminds me of my camp and summer, which are some of the best things to remember. Favorite track: Good Worm.

Well, it’s rain for the last time he sees you for the last time he sees you for the last And don’t you forfeit a single one not a moment, not a scar not a bicycle handle bar Took a train for the choo choo to breathe through for the truth you ascribe to to the last And don’t you forfeit a single one not the flat-head nickel or the tremor as it goes and comes Do you remember how you balanced like the angels playing horse-hair violins? Do you remember how you drew her like electric round her finger glistening? And he drank to the waltz for the widow round the church out the window widdershins And don’t you forfeit a single one not the shadow of a shudder or the sound of a smoking gun Yeah, don’t you forfeit a single one not a moment, not a scar, not a constellation

Good Worm 02:28
Well, I've got no coffee left for you, love just the dregs, just the dregs And, I've got no room left either just the bed, just the bed And I've always been a good worm OOOooo, OOOooo But you're not an early bird Well, I've got no honey left for you, love just the bird and the bees And, when birds and bees are all gone, love there will just be songs and knees And, I know that you want me but the moment has passed The egg has cracked and it's fried sunny-side down Well, I won't have a baby for you, love just a dog or a cat And if you're not satisfied, love I will tell you once again That I've always been a good worm OOOooo, OOOooo, But you're not an early bird

If I sang something new, would you listen then? Apple of my eye and blood of my pen Nothing was shaken, didn’t they tell you? Didn’t you notice, nothing was signed? Too busy holding up the sky Chicken Little cried wolf again If I split it down even would you take a half? Ribbon round my wrist and crumbs on my path Awoo, Awoo, Bok bok bok bok bok bok bok If I told you that I loved you, would that fit the bill? Honey in my hive and ants in my hill

I could take a truck drive it to the coast just me and the open road together forever I've got blue skies holding me together I could take the truck park it on the beach listen to the ocean roll forever and ever I've got everything I could watch the moon rise above the waves just me and the Milky Way together forever

Run in the morning and try to be somebody Play in the evening don't wait for the sun to go down Pots in the kitchen are hanging like sun-catchers I'll tie my shoes criss-crossed, I'll try to run faster You're in my head and I'll write you a love letter breathe, breathe Birds on the wire are under the sun-showers inside the window I try to sleep eight hours Maybe I'll leave you a voicemail that says, my love breathe, breathe

Break it to me slow I don't wanna hear a single word you're saying I don't wanna hear you roar anymore When all we have is elbow grease and rum And all we have is two left feet and thumbs for tongues And reasons to run out of here Break it to me slow I don't wanna know a single thing you're thinking I don't wanna turn a trickle to a flood When all we have is elbow grease and rum And all we have is two left feet and thumbs for tongues And air in our lungs finally Break it to me slow I don't wanna hear the wicked way you're breathing I don't wanna be the eye of your storm When all we have is elbow grease and rum And all we have is two left feet and thumbs for tongues and thumbs to cut, to hang the final rung out of here

I've got a room full of dreams I've got a room full And a baby in the cradle and when the wind blows she falls Deliver me like a recipe I'm convertible I've got a house full of screens I've got a house full And a candle in the window and when the wind blows night falls Deliver me like an effigy I'm flammable I've got a hat full of head I've got a hat full And a paper in my pocket and the eyes to read it and that's all Deliver me like typography I'm invisible I've got a little prince at home I've got a little prince And we draw closed the curtains and he asks me Draw me asleep Deliver me like St. Exupery I'm thirsty and that's all

Cry Uncle 02:22
Teach me to dance teach me to cry uncle teach me to smile over my underbite And, can I learn to love? Am I old enough? or learn to make out without getting caught in the rubber bands? We are screaming souls laces untied only God knows sometimes We are leaving no traces behind only our clothes sun-dried We are leaving no traces behind screaming Cohoes Falls Maybe we will all go to Africa maybe we will all go to Germany and take off our shoes for security our tray-tables up our seats backwards-forwards for safety
