Big Muddy 04:23

Fool 03:56
It's like the sun kissed the moon. You can’t get that close without some wounds. My hope is that you don't feel used. Figuring out what is for you. When everything's hot you still feel cold. When you’re together you feel alone. Did you forget she's not for you? You know, in time you're gonna lose. Oh, you're gonna lose. How many girls can you fool, Before you feel like less of a man? Are you a fool? No, you just got to close.

I've got this feeling like there's something bad inside me. I've got this hope that I'm wrong. Two more hours till I'm at my destination. Two more hours till I'm free. Maybe I will spend this weekend all alone. Or I’ll spend it will you. Since we fought you feel like we are more in love, But that night I got the chills. And it all, seems so easy. If we want to be together. Once you hit the dirt road, it's on your left. Unless they changed that part too. Straight ahead I used to go and be fool. I'm still trying to forget. I'd spend hours just roaming my backyard. Finding spots to get away. Back then you would find me sitting all alone. You make sure to fill that void. And it all moves so quickly, When you say that you love me. And it all should feel so easy, Just to say I love you too.

My Priscilla 03:38
Unknown syllables we make up. My hair, my own hair we mess up. Home alone. This house is noisy at night, But you’re still my Priscilla. It’s raining, and the ceiling’s leaking. Cavafy and my favorite notebook Is getting drenched, But you’re still my Priscilla. Oh, what you know, I know. There are certain things only you and I should know. Let’s keep it that way, for a while. There are certain things only you and I know. Let’s keep it that way, for a while. Until our love gets tangled at the end will I come to a friend and confide. There are certain things only you and I should know. Oh, what we know, only we should know.
