The Thought of You

1st song written on project

Andre Bernier/Daniel Loumpouridis

Silently I’ll pray for you

Every night when day is through

You don’t know what I feel for you


Said you won’t write songs about me, no

Your notes will play without me, sure

But northern skies have raised me love

I’m no stranger to the cold


I ain’t seen the sun here

In weeks,

Every line unending,

Complete


If that’s the resolution

You need

Then woman,

I will wait


I can’t find my words when I speak

I can’t turn them down when I sleep

Said I cannot lose the thought of you

And still keep me

This false home I have made

I don’t blame you

I don’t blame you


But somewhere deep down inside

I know you’ve got your reasons

Said you don’t build walls of glass

If you’re to save your kingdom


You can’t live in the past

If you’re a fan of reason

The good things never last

And if they did we’d leave em


Said I don’t know you

I don’t know you

Said I don’t know you

I don’t know you

Said I don’t know you

I don’t know you

3rd song written on project

Andre Bernier/Daniel Loumpouridis

It was the last days I found the hardest

Outside smoking in the car, love,

You know it can’t be long


Those August shores were strangely vacant

Our conversations were the same

It’s not the way it was before


But someday when I’m a memory

I know you’ll tell your friends ‘bout me and

I’d love to know how you’ll explain this


Don’t love, count cars

While I draw pictures on the dashboard


East on 495, dear

No, we’re doing fine here

And it won’t get easier

Than this

The sea and the sky clear

You by my side dear,


You know I could drown right here in the sea tonight

Yes I could drown right here in the sea tonight

With you


I cannot think of a reason why I can’t stay with you

I cannot think of a season when you were not here too

But my habits are deep seated and fleeting conversely

Said and I drink black coffee like my mother before me

The product of pessimism, almost destroyed me

If stabilities coming it’s slowly, not surly

I’ll be chasing it longer than you’ll ever need me

I’m sorry


Don’t love,

Count cars

While I draw pictures on the dashboard

East on 495, dear

No, we’re doing fine here

And it won’t get easier

Than this

The sea and the sky clear

You by my side dear,


You know I could drown right here in the sea tonight

I could drown right here in the sea tonight

I could drown right here in the sea tonight

I could drown


I don’t want to talk about it darlin

I don’t want to face the conversation

I know it can’t be long


Till the wind comes

Till it’s all gone

Till we both move on

To the next year

To the next home

To the next song


But I’m trying to explain to you

The way it feels right now

When you feel like you’re screaming

But you cannot make a sound


We could stay here

Slowly fade away dear

Slowly fade away here

Slowly fade away dear


And we could be fine here.

Yes, we could be fine here.

And we could be fine here.

Yes, we could be fine

4th song written on project

Andre Bernier/Daneil Loumpouridis

I don’t wear a seatbelt on the ride home sometimes

And I fantasise about the center line

I don’t wear a seatbelt on the ride home sometimes

But my tail lights out,

And I’m high

And I didn’t sleep last night


These days I’m only tired

These days I work for pride

These days my words don’t write themselves

These days my songs don’t rhyme


But I just think it’s black when we’re gone, dear

It don’t bother me

Don’t bother me


These pictures only paint themselves so often

These pictures only paint themselves so often

These pictures only paint themselves so often

These pictures only paint themselves so off and on


Oh my love

Is creasing unfolded thought

And I’m inclined to bleed it away


Oh my love

Is creasing unfolded thought

And I’m inclined to bleed it away


You told me

Everything resolves eventually

I tell you you don’t know the shit you preach

We fucked like animals in my backseat

It’s not love


But I just think it’s black when we’re gone dear

Don’t bother me

Don’t bother me

Known it since I was young

There’s no God ‘bove me


Oh my love

Is creasing unfolded thought

And I’m inclined to bleed it away


Oh my love

Is creasing unfolded thought

And I’m inclined to bleed it away


Say I just think it’s black when you’re gone, dear

The Quietest Defeat

2nd song written on project

Something tied me

My breath in paces above you

My mouth impatient to greet you

Strangers to calling it more


When the night comes

You’ll sleep with someone I don’t know

I’ll drink till friends is a good show

And we’ll both get coffee in the morning


This ain’t right, love

But it’s right for the time

For my state of mind

And you need someone to protect you, God knows

Not the last time I’m sure

But I’ve been here before

I know how the book ends

Don’t tell me, regardless


Weight’s a close friend

The anvil is tied to the season

And winter has bled all to bleed

Once the last of your strong words run out


Might the soft words

Be velvet inside of your throat dear

But some words are too real to speak here

Some words don’t exist out loud


Red

Is a warm night with rain

When autumn is ageless

And the lights are all low

Warmth enveloped

I’ll hold you if that’s what’ll save you

But how I don’t know


But these sails are made from stone

And the water’s on it’s way

You can stay here by my side

And I will hold you but I cannot keep you safe


But these sails are made from stone

And the water’s on it’s way

You can stay here by my side

And I will hold you but I cannot keep you safe
