maybe none of us is who we thought he was
baby, none of this is what it seems or what it will become
but of all the people that i've met within my life
you are the only one i've known
the only one i've known
you're the only one i've known who's one of mine

no talking shit on my vacation days
i want to wake up in my happy place
no talking shit on my vacation days
if you got nothing nice to say
no talking shit on my vacay
ain't nobody in the way
all the people who'd be usually getting in our faces
we wasted 'em back in the dust
singing bow-chi-ki-kicking up a cloud
when I needed an out
you told me "ready or not"
so we threw it all away
going out on the range
we're filling up our lungs
with the wind and the sunrays
top back, hair down, hands waving
baby there's no need to complain
no talking shit on my vacation
no talking shit on my vacation
no talking shit on my vacation days
no talking shit, no talking shit
so, don't talk shit on my vacation days
don't talk shit on my vacation days
(repeated)
no talking shit on my vacation days
i want to wake up in my happy place
no talking shit on my vacation days
nobody showing up and throwing shade

when i wake up, i'll be headed for new england
and i'll wonder why i ever left again
but by the evening i'll be stormy on the docks of old bar harbor
chucking rocks and dark thoughts out into the bay
feels like each attempt i make to try
to hide myself gives way to find
the emptiness that i was running from
and every tool i take becomes a crutch
cause i use it way too much
and now i'm walking with no legs
but when i wake up, i'll be ready for new england
and i'll promise myself i can keep my head
then somewhere out between the highway mile markers and bar harbor
it'll hit me how alone i really am
and all the vistas freeze,
the distant peaks and autumn trees
are all reduced to pixels passing through the HUD
and it's like the moment that a tool becomes a crutch
cause i need you way too much
and i can't see the world without you, babe
oh no
i don't want to fall in love
i don't want to follow us

it's a fact that you're gone
and i can't be here without you
like a moon with no planet to haunt
so, so long
it's been so long since i held you
would've thought i'd forgotten your touch
but that's love
and i can't seem to redact it by no meaning or madness
it's fucked
it's just my luck
that i can't even regard it
no closure, no varnish, no power to harness the fact
that you're gone
and i can't see me without you
in the person you helped me become
is it wrong
if i can't be me without you
i would like to just stay how i was
i was strong
now i can't hear me without you
like your harmony over this song
so i'm done
i can't stand to recall you
with every lift of my tongue
but that's love
and i can't seem to redact it by no meaning or madness
it's fucked
it's just my luck
and i can't even regard it
no closure, no varnish, no power to harness

silver dollar

well, my heart's a silver dollar, but my mind is like a string
and every time i try to give myself away, i think
it isn't worth the risk, there's not enough to go around
and luck is not a lady you can court or any debtor you can hound
it's a lie
it's a lie
it's a storm of the eye where the photons and nerves collide
it's a sigh
empty explosions in motion like ocean tides
well, my wisdom is a weapon, but my judgment is a drug
and i can turn the blade upon myself as well as anyone
but once the buzz is faded, i can hear the teacher say
that love is not a game that you can win or any melody you can play
it's alive
it's alive
it's a pattern of energy dancing within disguise
it's a vine
the branches divide, but the voltage is multiplied

the closer that i look at it
i can't tell where it ends and i begin
and every way i've tried to extricate myself only pulls me closer in
the closer that i get to it, i'm so attached to it
the closer that i get to it, i'm more attached to it
the farther that it slips away from me
