In The Dark

In your passenger seat
I watch the moon
And gathering clouds, rising
You start to scream out
"Baby, this is my part,"
Every part is your part
When we're sitting here
In the dark

Cigarette smoke fills the car
In this southern state
I undo my seatbelt
You're more than I can take
I want to feel you weak
You kiss my hand and cheek
In the dark

Sometimes sometimes I swear
You're something that was all I need
And when you whisper to me
Baby baby baby you're all I need
And maybe I can't write this down
Or tell the truth to you
But this is all I need
In the dark, with you.

And you can tell 'bout your yellow bird
But baby she just went and flew away
You can tell me 'bout your little birds
But baby, that just makes me stay

Sometimes sometimes I swear
You're something that was all I need
And when you whisper to me
Baby baby baby you're all I need
And maybe I can't write this down
Or tell the truth to you
But this is all I need
In the dark, with you.

Write It Down (Your Song)

She said to me,"Baby, write a note,"
She'll stick in a box with pictures of the hearts she broke
She'll say to me, "You're the only one I know,"
So now I'm falling into letters. So now I'm giving up all hope.

And maybe she asked me sweet, "Don't make this about me,"
But the lines in my heart scream, "You have to let me,"

I don't want to break
Anymore walls down
But sometimes these pills I take
Are all I hold on
And save me, save these texts
And maybe we'll be real
I can't stop the pain
But I can write it down
Baby, baby, baby, I'll write it down.

I whispered in the dark, "I know this is so wrong,"
But in little white lies, I color all the pasts gone
I yelled it out, "I swear I didn't mean it!"
And now in this glow I'm writing you your song

And maybe she asked me sweet, "Don't make this about me,"
But the lines in my heart scream, "You have to let me,"

I don't want to break
Anymore walls down
But sometimes these pills I take
Are all I hold on
And save me, save these texts
And maybe we'll be real
I can't stop the pain
But I can write it down
Baby, baby, baby, I'll write it down.

I just don't think you'll ever read it
I just don't think you'll ever need this
But baby, this is for you, about you, to you
But baby, this is for you, about you, I need you

I don't want to break
Anymore walls down
But sometimes these pills I take
Are all I hold on
And save me, save these texts
And maybe we'll be real
I can't stop the pain
But I can write it down
Baby, baby, baby, I'll write it down.

You Didn't Know (Birds)

I never thought of the end
Or even the beginning
Some people just fall into your life
And you’re never grateful that they never leave

You didn’t know, no
You didn’t know we loved you
You didn’t know, no
You didn’t know we needed you

We didn’t mean to forget
We just didn’t know how to say
All the words you were never afraid of
All the words we’re thinkin’ today

You didn’t know, no
You didn’t know we loved you
You didn’t know, no
You didn’t know we needed you

And now our hearts
They’re breakin’
And now, my God,
You’ve been taken
You didn’t know, no
You didn’t know we loved you
You didn’t know, no
You didn’t know we needed you

You didn’t know I loved you, no, no
You’ll never know I needed you
You didn’t know I loved you, no, no
You’ll never know I needed you

You didn’t know, no
You didn’t know we loved you
You didn’t know, no
You didn’t know we needed you
