LoFi Lyrics


LIVE ON FISH ISLAND


1. nothing to wind... nothing to wear out
2. not trippy anymore
3. fascination street
4. she
5. bbb
6. at the foot of the gunflint trail
7. you in the room
8. trainwreck1
9. if you were a person
10. i'm a gal
11. he parks in strange places
12. limelight


6. at the foot of the gunflint trail

nothing sounds quite like the water
washing over
all those hundreds of small stones
that make up the beach
below the room.
i have ways to cut you back down to size.
pray that i dont use them.
i have ways to snap you right back in line.
PRAY THAT I DONT USE THEM.
nothing feels quite like
pure black
ice cold 
northern lake air
on my wet skin
as we sit out
and watch traffic
and stars.
i have ways to cut you back down to size
pray that i dont use them.
i have ways to snap you right back in line.
PRAY THAT I DONT USE THEM.
you can have it all
any chance i have
of anything AT ALL-
just leave me that town.
cuz NOTHING is quite like it
at all.
i remember EVERYTHING.
when i drive by the foot of the trail
ill remember the love.


8. trainwreck 1

closed eyes 
and im nine again
outside standing 
watching you.
i cant make sense
of what comes easily
to all the corner boys like you.
and some of you will have to be content
with merely RIDING the bus.
and some of you will have to be content
with merely falling asleep.
this fix will last me 7 days
(or until im all alone).
never have i said this out loud
then you say the same damn thing.
i pray each night
"make it all go away"
and you said 
"careful what you say."
and some of you will have to be content
with merely RIDING the bus.
and some of you will have to be content
to merely fall asleep.
this fix will last me 7 days
(or until im all alone).
you talked me off the ledge again.
you calmed me down and tucked me in.
and ill forget it ALL
a week from now
each word you said.
"but for now
everything i gave you
is fresh in your head
so for now
you can feel
like youre made of gold!
and (for now)
you can feel 
youre unbreakable!
cuz i know this will pass.
and youll crash again.
and well do this all
again."


11. he parks in strange places

he found himself parking
in strange places.
they were places that were familiar-
it just seemed strange to park there.
one spot was in a parking lot
looking out at a lighthouse.
accross from the lighthouse
there was another lighthouse
and this one had a green light.
he wasnt ever sure what the purpose
of the SECOND lighthouse was-
wasnt one enough?
didnt it work that well?
why on earth would you have
two lighthouses
SIDE BY SIDE?
this shouldnt have concerned him
at all, you see.
this shouldnt have concerned him.
one bit.
the only reason it did is because:
HE PARKED IN ODD PLACES.
(its wasnt that they were odd places.
it was just more
that you wouldnt expect
to see someone PARKED there.
you pick up the phone
but theres no one to call
you want some more
you already have it all
you want it to snow
it already did
you tried to hide 
where you already hid
youre holding your breath
youre holding your breath
its not going to happen
youre just holding your breath
youre holding your breath
youre holding your breath
it already happened
and you missed it.
looking for signs
that already passed
looking for people
you thought it would last
running through trees
running through forests
looking for someone
that was never before us
youre holding your breath
youre holding your breath
its not going to happen
youre just holding your breath
it already happened
you forgot to breathe
it already happened
but you forgot to breathe
you forgot to breathe.
you forgot to breathe.
