This one was a collaboration with Peter Dorman. He played piano and wrote some lyrics and made the video! I mostly just put the song together. I'll post both of our lyrics below. 

My lyrics: Little soul, Little stray
Little drifter

It didn't go your way
Now where will will you stay 

And you 
all pale and all alone
The way you used to make fun of things

I fell in bed and out of it
On to your body so hard
On to your body so hard
Rolling like a river of hair
I stop and stare
I stop and stare

Missed call connection
A better use for these for legs 
But it's all right, she'll say 

Worry oh or worry not
Without attention where will you go 
You're going that way anyway 

Here comes that ever old and young train of thought
Worry oh or worry not
I'm pleading with the hell it's wrought 

Where it's leading with me pleading for the hell that it's wrought 
It brought you nearer that's clear 
But I fear that I might disappear 

His lyrics: 

Follow-Through

Verse 1

So you meant well but
Still ended up in the bottom of a well,
Should you ring the bell,
Or start singin' in the hope
They'll come a-listenin'? 

Sometimes all time is is time to wait
Sometimes the good gets going late
So watch out! 
Here comes a chance 
To get along with it

Chorus

I fell 
In bed & out of it
On a barge of coconuts
Went along with it

Passing through
A river of overgrown hair
Where I learned to care...
All over again

Verse 2

Oh, now, there's red
Spilled on the ground
People racin' around
Ever find yourself lost
In this maddening town?

For when you're in doubt
Don't first shout
Look about, do a walkabout
Talk about it
Might better understand it 

Chorus

Verse 3

Missed calls that keep missin' each other
Long since forgotten they share a mother
Staring all day at tea dregs
When will they ever reveal
A better use for these legs?

But it's alright
Fly a kite, grab a bite,
Have a light, dynamite
Whatever you do 
Hold on tight

Bridge

Here comes that ever-old and young train of thought
Worry, oh, worry, worry not 
For it brought you nearer all those tracks ago
Course you have the best intentions
But without attention where will you go?

Chorus

During/after chorus and in fading out:

Through & through
Through & through
What was it that you
Were trying to do?
Care enough to try again
After all you're trying?
After all, you're dying to.
