Chris Rehm – Bayous
+/-
We connect like positive and negative poles of a magnet
I read you like I read an open book
I let you go like little tiny fish squeezing through the fish net
But then I gave it another look
I could not smile as big as I used to
I did not move, no I’m still in Houston
And if I called you up on the tele
Would you spend a little time with me
Even though it’s a little risky?
I learned a lot but as it turns out every single answer was not
What I had expected it to be
I guess after all, you are the one and only girl that I ever really have sought
I’m led to you, you’re led to me

Mean Song
You are not the weight resting on my shoulders
You’re never on my mind but always on my lips
You are not the icing on top of my cake, now
No you are just the faucet with an unfixable drip
I Bet You Ride Go Karts Pretty Often
You are the queen of my castle
But living so far away, it has become a hassle
I have been given sutures and you have been getting suitors
You are the color that is in me
And you are what makes my tea sweet
And I’m wondering what you’re thinking, honestly
I hope that you’re thinking just like me
It’s silence on the phone
I’m wishing I was home
Summer’s gonna come and I’ll be on that road again
Summer This Way, Summer That Way
(instrumental)
Cobwebs
We’ve got cobwebs
Growing on our history
I’ve misplaced pages
Forgot our ages
Living wistfully
A focus in two dimensions
Make something stand out in a blur
We’re getting hazy
It’s been full of smoke and ash
I feel the heat
On my face and my back
We’re touching over and over again
Not retreating or hanging on
It’s in my head again
Learning my lesson
How to right a wrong
Me, I’m tired but I’m ready for it all
There are enough ways to fall
But when I give it a try, it’s foreign
When I stop, it’s easy
But if I’m bored, then I’m boring
I might never please me
(Crank That)
I could try my best to be your soldier boy
I know that I do not know all the moves
But I will try my best to make them up
If you’d give me just one chance, that’s enough
I will try to give you what you want
But in my past, I learned that all I should be giving you is honesty
I will try to speak free

Come on, Suzan you know how our wind used to blow
I’ve been gusting for days, but we’re so far away
That our winds are still in route and will pass each other soon
We’ve got time, yeah we do
And I don’t want you to think I’ve forgotten you
It’s just these days have been filled
And I’ve lost most my will
To keep up with my friends
But I’ll find it again
It’s not just you in this pool in my head
I’m a fool to let it sit there so long
To lose touch with my home
Take Pictures
I’ve got nothing to do
And I’m thinking that you could contribute
Now I’ve won a few hearts
I’ve killed a few off in my head
Separated by space and time
In two places at once
Now I’m taking a chance
By learning a dance we can’t finish
Take pictures of your thoughts
And I’ll take pictures of my friends
We’ve got calendars and timers
I can count every grain of sand
