Beekeeper, I heard you've got a song
Beekeeper, I heard you've got a song
Some hive talkin' my name
Keep on buzzin' their furry faces
Carry pollen all around
Make honey of all that they've found

Rib Cage

Saplings spreadin' through my rib cage
Where in your absence grew a tree
Made of you and all the you things
Polaroid pictures and reruns of sitcoms on tv's
By my heart, I built a tree house
Painted it varying shades of green
Placed a leather couch and drawings of Garfield
So you'd feel at home when you get tired of running
And as you sleep, it's hard to breathe
With your tin roof stuck in my lung tissue
But it's worth every sharp exhale
To need to be with you
To need to be with you

I want to
Say

Say
I need you
How many steps does it take to get from one side to the next
How many ways is they to forget
I stared up in a white-walled room
Two beds, two sheets
Count the tiles on the ceilin'
Two beds, two sheets
The lights are out by 9pm
Though the keys won't let you sleep
Two beds, two sheets
How many steps does it take to get from one side to the next
How many ways is they to forget

It's so nice to see you
You say without breaking eye contact
At the bar with a beer in your hand
Your wife couldn't make it
Eight years is a long time
You called me at 5am one Valentine's Day to say
Some frat boys spiked the punch
You drank too much
You'd like to stay with me while my roommate's away
Free-associated thought
A frozen fountain I stepped in
Soaked my pants leg to the knee
"You'd better get out of those 'fore you catch a cold"
Hang your jeans in the bathroom
Hang your jeans up in the bathroom
Dollar store don't have any vanilla left
So we buy lemon extract instead
Dollar store don't have any vanilla left
So we buy lemon extract instead
Snow cream
Lemon meringue
Snow cream
Lemon meringue

Bird Bones

Oh Bird Bones, you could be your own kite you'd say
And you were airy and light, so I believed you
Wait for the wind to pick you up
Carry you higher
Blow you away
Oh, Bird Bones the trees are on fire
But the sky brings water
You won't have to fly too long
I'll keep an eye on the nest
If it's gone we'll make a new one
Somewhere out west
Perch ourselves on buffalo backs
Where a volcano rests
We'll find rest
We'll find rest
We'll find rest

You talk a lot
You talk loud
You're not my type
But I like you around
Keep the sheets warm
With your body heat
Tangle in my limbs
As you swim a deep sleep
My lips stamp love across your hips
My fingers trace soft lines of your ribs
I like your pieces
They make a fine whole
Show me your scrapes
Your tattoos
I wanna know all of you
Pomade perfume lingers when you leave
I think you'd be my type if we didn't need to speak

I'm running out of time
To get to know you
Cups spill as the train passes by
The way words are lost
Clumsy, wanderin' 'cross counter top
Charming is the boy who bring fabric flowers
Did you find the place okay
You can set your bag in the bedroom
Have a seat over there
I'll poor you a drink
Oh honey, thanks for coming
Charming is the boy who bring fabric flowers
Faucets got a leak
It drips down my shoulders
Dump the old ash so we can add new one
A wasp got in through a crack in the window
You'll be gone before the next season
Charming is the boy who bring fabric flowers

Nightjar Nashville, Tennessee
