Song for Kathryn

Dogs outside are sounding human tonight
Take a look one more time at the Northern lights
Before I get in bed where I’ll be
Warmer than I’ve been in years
Warmer than I have been
Invite you over to my house again
You have a car but not a coat that suits this weather
And you don’t live far
Nothing is far in this town
Nothing is ever very far
And when you’re here we sing those same old songs
Like repeating words will somehow right all our wrongs
There’s a box of wine on the counter for us to drink
I bought that one the last time I was in Yellowknife
And it won’t last long
Nothing does in this town
Nothing lasts in this town

What's in It for You?
03:38
|

Watch another Law & Order, put the kettle on
The chaos and disorder of the world we’re living on
It really got me in the feelings
It really got me in the heart
And it’s so revealing when I don’t play my part
I never ask you 20 questions
Or look you in the eye
These years are the best ones
The years before we die
What’s in it for you? X 4
We could’ve watched another Law & Order
We could’ve put the kettle on
And the chaos and disorder of the world we’re living on
Could have caught me in the crossfire
Could have let me think I’d won
Could have taken all my chances
And rolled them into one
Could have left me on the dance floor
The last one having fun
Knowing who was done for
And who had more to run
What’s in it for you? X 4

Molly Maid
03:32

If you were to die in a hotel room at night, would the maid come in the morning? Would she die of fright?
Would she change the linen, notify the next of kin and then get straight to work replacing miniature shampoos?
Would she move your body or would she let you be?
What if you were clutching the remote for the TV?
She might dust the lampshade, or she might vacuum up
She just might quit her job and say she’d seen enough
And in the hotel lobby, suitcase in hand, stands the archetype of the modern businessman
Hearing the commotion from room 202, he’d make a point to stay there on his travels through
He would lie so silent, in the bed where your heart stopped beating
And wonder to himself oh can I recreate this feeling
Starting to imagine the life you must have lived
He’d wonder if you did regret the living that you did
The missing information was that you knew your fate
You picked that palindrome hotel room for that specific date
You wouldn’t want your children to find you on the floor
You’d rather have a Molly Maid come knock at your death’s door

Own Each Other's Hearts
03:55
|

People are trying to own each other’s hearts
Own each other’s hearts
People are trying to own each other’s hearts
Own each other’s hearts
Weak attempts at courting
Landing in a pile of quality assurance recordings
For the best of mankind they’ll never be sorted
They’ll never be sorted
We’ll never hear the recordings x 4
Of people just trying to own each other’s hearts
Own each other’s hearts
Own each other’s hearts
Own each other’s hearts
After 10 years of marriage
Your feelings wind up in a box full of records
That have never been sorted before
Now they’ll never be sorted
We’ll never hear the recordings x 4
Of people just trying to own each other’s hearts
Own each other’s hearts
Own each other’s hearts
Own each other’s hearts
