Is This It?These things are floating tea leaves And snowflakes in spring I have my happy easter anyway Like a love lost to tide Life moving to and fro Moving on and looking back All the time How we danced Loved and wept Waited and wanted so badly Just to find that place in the world That place we could say was ours Well, this is ours Is this it?Is This It?


ApartWe are a great thing in some ways Standing here, pressed against each other We are the world and a passing dream In this place that we will only leaveApart
Martyrs, everyone, in their mind How standing firm translates to strength How we're all afraid of falling down Moreover, we are afraid of loss
As I stand in this moment with you As we believe we are sharing something That we are together in all of this We are so very far apart, arm-in-arm And there will never be anything That we will share as one


HokkaidoUnder cover of orange and green Fighting for the sky blue Spotted through the clouds of grey Sort of smiling while we walk Simply being here And not elsewhereHokkaido
Smelling the leather on me Suede that saw me from one side Of the world And roundabout to the other To where my home was far away Where you would bring me home
Between the sharp autumn chill And the memory of California My jacket still smells of you With your hands inside the sleeves Wearing it on our first date


From Then 'Till NowUnder starlight Long shadows cool The bright lights On the swing set Where you were A child far away Making forts and sneaking Into officesFrom Then 'Till Now
When I followed you To this side of The Pacific I realized that I Was like you there But that I Was not like you
I struggled and cried And failed like my hope To find joy in the loss And I was afraid But you smiled at my joy Whether yours or not And that is when I felt That I had succeeded
