I wanna hold you like the mountaintop is held by the horizon 
I wanna hold you like the light that brings the horizon back into my eyes 
I wanna hold you like the sweetest note just before it ends I wanna hold you like my mother's hand when she's too upset to cry 
I wanna hold you like my father's hand when I thought that he was gonna die I wanna hold you like the sweet summer's breeze it passes through me
 please pass through me I wanna hold you like G-d held my heart when I was a child 
I wanna hold you like running naked through the church that I built outside I wanna hold you like the breath that passes through my lungs it passes through my heart

when I worked at Greenpeace I was savin' whales by gettin' debit cards, collecting debit cards
 and people would ask me "What did whales ever do for me?"
 and I would tell them that Greenpeace told me that there are only 400 blue whales left on the planet, in the ocean which at this point is just acid
 and a single blue whale will eat about four tons of krill in one day, four tons!
 and krill eat algae
 which produces oxygen that we breathe it's not just trees in fact, it's mostly phytoplankton

 so the algae is eaten by krill which is eaten by blue wales so if we kill all the whales... 
I guess we're gonna suffocate
 we're all just gonna suffocate so I quit that job cause it was too heavy
 and I quit that job and I got a new job
 now I'm just serving tacos in a restaurant at the end of the universe 
 ha ha ha ha 
qua qua qua qua

 if I was an orangutan in Indonesia, in Indonesia 
I'd be getting burned alive in my rainforest home burned alive, that 's right to make room for new trees to make pulp for paper 
to wrap hamburgers in fine fast food establishments all over the world

 and the cows that they kill to make hamburgers and the cows that they kill, and the cows that they kill
 are grazed on destroyed rain forests on the other side of the world

 so I guess we'll all just suffocate we're all just gonna suffocate so I quit that job cause it was too heavy
 and I quit that job and I got a new job
 now I'm just serving tacos in a restaurant at the end of the universe 
 ha ha ha ha 
qua qua qua qua

 and the only time people would talk to me is when I said "Hey you wanna save some butterflies?" 
everybody loves the butterflies 

so I quit that job cause it was too heavy
 and I quit that job and I got a new job
 but you can't run away from knowing that the oceans are poisoned and the oceans are acid 
and you can't run away from knowing that 80% of the world's old growth forests are already gone 
 so I guess we'll suffocate we're all just gonna suffocate ha ha ha ha 
qua qua qua qua

My Mixtape 03:02
remember the time when you drove all night and I said "you stink you should probably take a shower"
 remember the time when you drove all night just like Elvis Costello on... my mixtape it was the only tape it was the only music I had for months when I was in-between homes and in-between jobs and in-between lives
 you bookended it between your keds and 
the cement that my father laid down but those broken shards won't heal the dark crystal of my heart 

no no no 

 remember the time when we cried all night
 and broke down and broke up again 

remember the time when we both got sober and then un-sober and blamed each other I do well

 

my mixtape it was the only tape it was the only music I had for months when I was in-between homes and in-between jobs and in-between lives
 you bookended it between your keds and 
the cement that my father laid down but the joke's on you girl I got the whole thing memorized

 I am a giraffe my head is in the air but my feet are on, my feet are on, my feet are on the ground
 you are a lion with all that pride the way you tried to tear me to, rip me to oh
 I am a giraffe my head is in the air but my feet are on, my feet are on, my feet are on the ground
 you are a lion with all that pride the way you tried to rip me to shreds

 

my mixtape it was the only tape 
it was the only music I had for like six months
 when I was broke when I was unemployed sleeping on couches and the hungriest I have been in my life
 you took it outside you put it on the ground and you smashed it on the cement that my father laid down
 and you picked up the pieces and you cupped them in your hands and you said "this is what a broken heart feels like" as if I didn't already know.

For You 04:57
hey don'tcha know that I had fun at your show
 and I really like your art and I'm glad you like mine
 so I made this art for you, don't you know
 that I think that you're just grand and 
if you tried to hold my hand 
I would let you

 and I would hold it back 
 but I won't hold you back
 and I would hold it back 
 but I won't hold you back

 if you held me, I would hold you back if you held me, I would hold you back 
but I won't hold you back

 don't you know that I think you're so cute
 and you're a feminist to boot and 
I like that you eat mostly vegetables and fruit
 don't you know that I think that you're just swell and when I am with you the bell in me goes 
ding, dong, ding, ding suffering comes from desire
 but I think I think this time it might be
 worth my, worth my while if you held me, I would hold you back if you held me, I would hold you back 
but I won't hold you back

 and I really like your art and I'm glad you like mine so I made this art for you
