I knew this because as i drove...
Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate)

full song title: I knew this because as i drove, the hole that was me and my life was getting smaller and smaller and was being filled with New Hampshire, or maybe it was the idea of New Hampshire, but who cares, as long as it was filling up the hole.


fold your arms like an aeroplane
cast over seas you could not navigate
for fear of an entry point

dear, do not go quietly!
do not go, do not go at all!
(you are needed here)

you were strong
but your body wasn't

and even if i know
it'll still hurt to hear it from you

so when you go
your arms will not part the sea
or even support their own weight

but it is time
(and even i know!)

but it will still hurt like hell when you go

Lyrics by Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate)

  A Keepsake   an idea is a greater monument than a cathedral   Documenting Thirty Days   Everything Familiar Has Disappeared! The World Loo...   everything is connected and everything matters   Everything Rests On Your Small Shoulders   Foxfire   how to make love stay   How to Stay Afloat on a Sea of Change   i am a snail, and you are a pace i cannot match   I Swim Like a Minnow   I Was Somewhere Cold, Dark... and Lonely   I Would Have Stolen You a Whole Orchestra   idk, My Bff Jill   If It's Bad News, It Can Wait   it happened because you left   It Was Your Heart That Saved You   It’s a fate we can’t escape. Someda...   k.o. k.o. (the most of my worries are the least of   keep what you have built up here   Lilly, I Have Something Important to tell you   Our Love Has Made Us Pariahs   rally the troops! poke holes in their defenses!   Rally the Troops! Poke Holes in Their Defenses! Li...   The Loneliness Inside Me Is a Place   the next step to regaining control   The Only One Who Could Ever Reach You   The Promise That Life Can Go on No Matter How Bad ...   They Will Throw Us To The Wolves   Things Not Worth Fixing   Water   We Were Not Small or Great but Grown   What Had Taken Years To Put Together Was Destroyed...   what safe means   When You Are Done Living On Borrowed Time   with your greatest fears realized, you will not be   Year Of The Rabbit   You Have to Be so Much Better Than You Ever Though...   You Have To Believe That Life Is More Than The Su
