New Hampshire |
i saw a modest dream |
the kind that can’t speak up |
and lost before it’s let out |
in the north we hold our tongues |
but down here i believe |
when you pull your hair back it’s so easy to see |
this has not been thought through |
there are things that we’ve done that we cannot undo |
there are things i can’t hear when we’re telling the truth |
at a table out in bethel |
when i was thirteen |
the criminals were saying |
liked how i was silent |
the cold was the container |
for the sparseness of our speech |
the expression in our hands |
was all that we’d need |
but down here i believe |
that i made a big deal with a girl that can’t bleed |
now I see red and black |
and evening that kills i want to take it back |
an evening that kills and i can’t take it back |
i’m going home back to new hampshire |
i’m so determined |
to lay in lakes and see my sisters |
i will hit my brother and hold my mother |
this probably won’t work out |
we might not live forever |
while there’s nothing to confess |
please pay attention |
and i know that it’s brief |
there’s not nearly enough in one night to have seen |
what you had in your hand |
was much more than the gold that i let go to grab |
so much more than the gold that i let go to grab |
