about

"Some of the poetic imagery and content for this record came from nightmares I would have while on tour or in the few days after I’d gotten home, totally exhausted and delirious. I kept having a Cyrano de Bergerac-esque dream where I was hiding in a bush below a huge stone balcony, whispering up at my ex - who at the time had a head of snakes. That piece didn’t make it into this not so-traditional, country heartbreak ballad for obvious reasons."

lyrics

Come to the window
Let the night paint you blue
You sparkle in starlight
And it tears me in two

When you don’t see me
Call it my acquiesce
Or whatever helps you
Get to sleep, i guess

I was just waiting
Now i’m just a fool
I must be crazy
Wanting you like i do

So when you go listening
For my soft silhouette
It’s just coyotes weeping
And the wind from the West

Count the cracks in the ceiling
Sing to angels above
Cry under the moonlight
Find a stranger, make love
Drink it all until empty
Do it all to excess
Or whatever helps you
Get to sleep, i guess

Count the cracks in the ceiling
Sing to angels above
Cry under the moonlight
Find a stranger, make love
Drink it all until empty
Do it all to excess
Or whatever helps you
Get to sleep, i guess

Whatever helps you
Get to sleep, i guess
Whatever helps you
Get to sleep, i guess

Come to the window
Let the night paint you blue
