Human Touch 03:14

I don’t need you to kiss me Or look into my eyes You don’t have to hold me Though I wouldn’t mind If you could just inch your fingers A little closer to mine I’ve been missing a human touch A human touch I don’t need you to keep me Or still tears in my eyes You don’t have to love me Though I wouldn’t mind If you could just rest your fingers On the curve of my spine I’ve been hungry for human touch A human touch But if you want to kiss me I might not close my eyes I might want to hold you In arms and in mind But if I only get fingers Gently wrapped around mine I’ll take comfort in human touch Your human touch

Where I Feel Known 04:42

Strike me a match in the middle of June Kiss of a flame burns nostalgia clothed in wax perfume I wanna bake scones in the afternoon That Indigo Girls album filling up the living room And if I close my eyes If I close my eyes If I close my eyes I am curled up by the couch of my parents’ home Abandoning armor where I feel known Hid in plain sight on a cafe floor Nothing could touch me behind goosenecks and Gibraltars Safe and surrounded by food and art Drinks that I poured to give away still made my hands feel warm And if I close my eyes If I close my eyes If I close my eyes I am breathing in spring on the patio I sing to the morning and no one knows Wrestling with sleep by your windowsill Your touch like a lullaby, hold my heart to keep it still When morning breaks in like I know it will I’ll slip away like a secret stored in memory’s film But if I close my eyes If I close my eyes If I close my eyes I’m playing video games on the hardwood floor I hear the comforting creak of your bedroom door

The Nest 05:15

The front seat of a car Built for a family Feels a little bit colder now Maybe it’s just the weather Maybe it’s just the weather The kids moved a little far Suburbs to cities And Dad’s little bit tired now Maybe it’s just the weather Maybe it’s just the weather Whenever I come home You always turn the tv down When all of us are home I warm my heart up in the sound I cracked the reservoir Singing a harmony When the song stopped we cried out loud Maybe it’s just the weather Maybe it’s just the weather Whenever I come home We always play the same duets I cling to traditions Like a fledgling to the nest I sit there in your car And watch my bus pull away I don’t think I can leave just now Maybe it’s just the weather Maybe it’s just the weather I’m sure it’s just the weather Please tell me it’s just the weather

Give In 06:33

You said, “Maybe we could leave the city” You said, “I could marry you We could move out to the suburbs Have a family, start anew” Everything I never wanted Everything I still don’t need But for some reason when you look at me I could want anything When you give in, I give in When you give in, I give in I pretend that I don’t know what love is But I know that I love you Though it hurts more to remember I know that you loved me, too It was midnight on Canal St When I offered up my heart But you and I were leasing loaners Saving space for broken parts When you give in, I give in When you give in, I give in Falling through your door, 10 on a Monday You sounded worried on the phone Asked me how I’m sleeping lately I don’t sleep when I’m alone I could stay here if you press me But I’m begging that you don’t It’s so much easier to walk away From someone who said, “No” When you give in, I give in When you give in, I give in When you give in, I give in When I give in, you give me up
