BURY ME AT MAKEOUT CREEK

ABOUT THE ALBUM
It’s very young, in that it has the
resilience of youth. I didn’t have
resources, but I made it happen, and I
used whatever was around me to try to
express myself. I try to remember that
feeling of needing to create. I’m still an
indie artist, so I’m still often in a position
where I don’t have access to things.

THE ALBUM
ALBUM
Texas Reznikoff
I t’s beautiful out today
I wish you could take me upstate
To the little place you would tell me
about
When you’d sense that I’d want to
escape
Texas is a land-locked state
It’s a little bit far away
From the water, from the home that
I’ve wanted to make
It somehow, in the city, you make it
there and you make it
Anywhere, anywhere
But I’ve been anywhere and it’s not what
I want I wanna be still with you
You keep your socks on in bed
Keep our hearth warm
“See the trees’ shadows lie in black pools
in the lawns”
You’re the breeze in my Austin nights
You’re the breeze in my Austin nights
Smell that, it’s wet grass, and smoke
in my hair
I think I’ve had enough
But he wants a finale and I came
prepared
And we’re not going back
And I’ve tried sharing and I’ve tried
caring
And I’ve tried putting out
But the boys, boys, boys keep coming
on
For more, more, more
And change, change, change is gonna
come, but
When, when, when?
And I want a love that falls as fast
As a body from the balcony, and
I want to kiss like my heart is chasing
me down
I’m holding my breath with a baseball
bat
Though I don’t know what I’m waiting
for
I am not gonna be what my daddy
wants me to be
Townie
T here’s a party and we’re all going
And we’re all growing up
Somebody’s driving and he will be
drinking
And no one’s going back
Cause we’ve tried hungry and we’ve
tried full
And nothing seems enough
So tonight, tonight, the boys are
gonna go
For more, more, more And I want a
love that falls as fast
As a body from the balcony, and
I want to kiss like my heart is hitting
the ground
I’m holding my breath with a baseball
bat
Though I don’t know what I’m waiting
for
I am not gonna be what my daddy
wants me to be
First Love/Late Spring
T he black hole of the window
where you sleep
The night breeze carries something
sweet
A peach tree
Wild women don’t get the blues
But I find that
Lately I’ve been crying like a tall
child
So please, hurry, leave me, I can’t
breathe
Please don’t say you love me
Mune ga hachikire-sode
One word from you and I would
Jump off of this ledge I’m on, baby
Tell me “don’t,” so I can crawl back
in
And I was so young when I behaved
twenty five
Francis Forever
I don’t know what to do without you
I don’t know where to put my hands
I’ve been trying to lay my head down
Yet now I find I’ve grown into a tall
But I’m writing this at 3 AM
child
And I don’t wanna go home yet
I don’t need the world to see
Let me walk to the top of the big
That I’ve been the best I can be, but
night sky
I don’t think I could stand to be
So please, hurry, leave me, I can’t
Where you don’t see me
breathe
I don’t need the world to see
Please don’t say you love me
That I’ve been the best I can be, but
Mune ga hachikire-sode
I don’t think I could stand to be
One word from you and I would
Where you don’t see me
Jump off of this ledge I’m on, baby
Tell me “don’t,” so I can crawl back And autumn comes when you’re not
in One word from you and I would yet done
Jump off of this ledge I’m on, baby With the summer passing by, but
Tell me “don’t,” so I can crawl back I don’t think I could stand to be
in Where you don’t see me
Please, hurry, leave me, I can’t
breathe
I Don’t Smoke
I don’t smoke
Except for when I’m missing you
To remember your mouth, how it
Tasted true
And I don’t smoke
Except for after I’ve held you, baby
Being with you
Makes the flame burn good
So if you need to be mean
Be mean to me
I can take it and put it inside of me
If your hands need to break
More than trinkets in your room
You can lean on my arm
As you break my heart
I’m what’s left of when we
Swam under the moon
Now the rest of my days are just
Waiting for when
You come down and tell me
I was meant for you, baby
Being with you
Jobless Monday
Makes the flame burn good
I t’s a windy afternoon
Can’t afford to buy my food
If you need to be mean
Be mean to me Or the drive I need to go
I can take it and put it inside of me Further than they said I’d go
If your hands need to break
More than trinkets in your room He only loves me when
You can lean on my arm There’s a means he means to end
As you break my heart Oh I miss when we first met
He didn’t know me yet
Just don’t leave me alone
Wondering where you are So take me out baby
I am stronger than you give me Makes no difference where we’ll be
Credit for As long as we’re out in the sun
Take me out baby
If your hands need to break
Take me out baby
More than trinkets in your room
Doesn’t matter where we’ll be
You can lean on my arm
But please under the light of day
As you break my heart
Take me out
Take me out
Take me out baby

I Will And we’re not out of the tunnel
I bet you though there’s an end

I will take good care of you

I will take good care of you
Stay with me
Hold my hand
There’s no need
Everything you feel is good To be brave
If you would only let you
I will wash your hair at night And while you sleep
And dry it off with care I’ll be scared
I will see your body bare So by the time you wake
And still I will live here I’ll be brave
I’ll be brave
So stay with me, Hold my hand I’ll be brave
There’s no need to be brave

And all the quiet nights you bear

Seal them up with care
No one needs to know they’re there
For I will hold them for you

‘cause all I ever wanted is here

All I ever wanted
All I want is
Always you
It’s always you
