Dinner Party
03:57

I was dressed like a dinosaur
You were dressed like a star
You popped your gum and smiled
At me then
No more miserable Halloweens
No more summers alone
Because the new girl in town is mine to hold
But if I knew then what I what I know now
I wouldn’t do anything else
Even though we don’t even talk
I’m falling asleep watching movies
Staring girls that look like you
And I don’t feel any better when I come to
With your pixie haircut plastered
To your forehead by the wind
You used to say when I breathed out you breathed in.
But if you don’t miss me at all
Then it’s just fine
But if you don’t miss me at all
Then it’s just fine
But if you don’t miss me at all
Then it’s just fine
Fine by me
I remember your username
And how we’d talk after school
You said that yours was lame but mine was cool
Everyone’s got a time machine
Everybody but me
And they’re all gonna fix their mistakes
Just like the last time I drove you home and I didn’t say anything much
And now we can’t even talk
I’m falling asleep watching movies
Staring girls that look like you
And I don’t feel any better when I come to
With your pixie haircut plastered
To your forehead by the wind
You used to say when I breathed out you breathed in.
But if you don’t miss me at all
Then it’s just fine
But if you don’t miss me at all
Then it’s just fine
But if you don’t miss me at all
Then it’s just fine
It’s fine
In our stocking feet on a linoleum basement
Do you wanna dance? Do you wanna dance, honey?
Sitting on my dad’s couch taking off my pink blouse
Let’s keep doing this, let’s keep doing this forever.
Thinkin’ about our first fight your fingers on my torn sleeve
Thinking about our last night with your shit in a hatchback
I don’t wanna talk
I don’t wanna talk
I don’t wanna talk
I don’t wanna talk
I don’t wanna talk
I’m falling asleep watching movies
Starring girls that look like you
And I don’t feel any better when I come to
With your Iron Maiden T-shirt
And your hair blown in the wind
It used to be when you breathed out I breathed in

Greedy
03:04
|
|||
I wanted more from you than just a second glance so
A third or fourth will do just fine
The fabric I have chosen scratches all my skin I have
Constrained myself in space and time
But you could’ve had it all
Why did you throw it all away
To make life harder in a greedy way
You could’ve just stayed stoic
Wield your power gratefully
You could be almost happy
You better have a conversation with yourself but
I don’t know if it will go well
Appreciate what you’ve got
There’s not much that you lack
Quiet complacency
Oh that’s where it’s at
You could’ve had it all
Why did you throw it all away
To make life harder in a greedy way
You could’ve just stayed stoic
Wield your power gratefully
You could be almost happy
You could’ve had it all
Why did you throw it all away
To make life harder in a greedy way
You could’ve just stayed stoic
Wield your power gratefully
You could be almost happy
Almost happy

Someone stole my bike on the block right near here
Made me think back on a wasted year
Cause every time you spoke a spoke would disappear oh
We took a break and a rusted gear
You speak of logic and you speak of common sense
I think I'm gambling with myself
What do you think are the odds I'll be able to recompense oh
Have a hot streak or a cold spell
Do you recall when we used to be friends
Knew my number by heart and after then
Do you think it's a fallacy I can win in the end
Do you think it's a fallacy I can win in it the end
Eating terrible pizza after painting all your walls
Pull me into your dark weekend
A series of events that don't make no sense at all, all
And now it's time that we start again
Do you recall when we used to be friends
Knew my number by heart and after then
Do you think it's a fallacy I can win in the end
Do you think it's a fallacy
Do you think it's a fallacy I can win in the end oh
Do you think it's a fallacy
Do you think it's a fallacy I can win in the end
Do you think it's a fallacy

Belgrade

Through window pane the city of New York begins to change
Tore down your old apartment
Put condos over community gardens
But I can
Still feel the heat of your hand
Nestled in my hand
You were dressed in black
Got too much detention teaching curses to your spanish class
You said they're words that you could use
So it wasn't that big a deal
But I couldn't keep my eyes off you
Smacking your Juicy Fruit
Do I have a name
Someone might wanna say
for the rest of their natural life?
And that country summer when you wanted more
I drew your picture
I drew your picture on a napkin
When you said yes I wasn't quite prepared to feel the heat of your cheek on my chest
As we swayed just out of time
On a late June Friday night
When your mom showed up traded heels for chucks said you're free most weekends
In a picture frame our polaroid prom night begins to fade
You took your heart to Texas
Traded your fixie for a beat up old Lexus
But I know this is how I'll remember you
Stalwart in baby blue
Do I have a name
Someone might wanna say
for the rest of their natural life
And that country summer when you wanted more
I drew your picture
I drew your picture on a napkin
Sometimes it feels like nothing at all
Sometimes it feels like everything
Sometimes it feels like nothing at all
Sometimes it feels like everything
Do I have a name
Someone might wanna say
for the rest of their natural life
And that country summer when you wanted more
I drew your picture
I drew your picture on a napkin

Easy Love
02:57
|

Easy on the eyes
Enough to make me spend a lifetime
Hoping for the dead man
Maybe he can pull his switch now
I'm not gonna waste my time
Showing you love is easy
I'm not gonna waste my time
Showing you the ropes
I'm not gonna waste my time
Showing you love is easy
I'm not gonna waste my time
Showing you the ropes
Get out under cover
I think it needs a rainbow stitch now
Maybe I'm the dipshit
For thinking that you'd figured it out
I'm not gonna waste my time
Showing you love is easy
I'm not gonna waste my time
Showing you the ropes
I'm not gonna waste my time
Showing you love is easy
I'm not gonna waste my time
Showing you the ropes
I'm not gonna waste my time
Showing you love is easy
I'm not gonna waste my time
Showing you the ropes
I'm not gonna waste my time
Showing you love is easy
I'm not gonna waste my time
Showing you the ropes
I'm not gonna waste my time
Showing you love is easy
I'm not gonna waste my time
Showing you the ropes
I'm not gonna waste my time
Showing you love is easy a
I'm not gonna waste my time
Showing you the ropes

Sparrow
04:02
|

When you were young you were a sparrow
To fall was wise and pure and true
Your love flew straight like someone's arrow
But the rules don't apply to you
They're crying out
You were born and raised on asbestos farms
You earned an honest living as a rancher
Well all know good men can't do no harm no harm
So blame the doctors for the cancer
They're crying out
Who will answer
Who will answer now?
Who will answer
Who will answer now?
Your future is sacrosanct, your past is predefined
Your mind has formed an ouroboros
The threatened beast has learned how to lash out in kind
There is no justice in the forest no no
But tell me who will answer
who will answer now?
Yeah who will answer
who will answer now?
Who will answer now
Who will answer now
Who will answer?

Zodiac Killer
03:24

You gesture towards your lamp, a semiprecious stone
a little lightbulb that’s inside supposed to clear the ozone
You speak of ancient cultures and of body politic
But if I mention peer review it makes me sound like I’m a dick
Wasn’t born under a sign
Have delusions that I’m free
But even if I’m wrong it’s your assumptions that offend me
Won’t you try to get to know me
Make me drop my guard and maybe then you could read me without tea leaves and tarot cards
Forego your old conclusions here’s a new hypothesis
It was lies of men before me that led me to this
Incensed by harmless mentions
Of magic and of fate
If i were stronger in conviction I could reach that zen state
Wasn’t born under a sign
Have delusions that I’m free
But even if I’m wrong it’s your assumptions that offend me
Won’t you try to get to know me
Make me drop my guard and maybe then you could read me without tea leaves and tarot cards
Wasn’t born under a sign
But just in case I was
I’ll try to test my fate like every self-important hero does
Try to be more open minded
But naively I still pray
You’ll join me at my party without knowing it’s my birthday
Wasn’t born under a sign
But even if I’m wrong it’s your assumptions that offend me
Won’t you try to get to know me
Make me drop my guard and maybe then you could read me without tea leaves and tarot cards

Breakfast with Chloe
04:46
|

She said she liked coffee
I lied said me too
I asked her to breakfast
She’d totally go
Her shoulders are confident
But hunch when she laughs
She earnestly gives me advice
I bask in the glow
And she wanted to occupy a space she don’t belong
Floating in the periphery turn your head she’s gone
I caught a glimpse of your smile through some rift in spacetime
Two hands meet across the table but neither one is really mine
We’ve so much in common
It’s obvious
You want her to look at you
It’s daunting when she does
And she wanted to occupy a space she don’t belong
And I don’t call her up that much for fear she might respond
I caught a glimpse of your smile through some rift in spacetime
Two hands meet across the table but neither one is really mine
Conversation is limitless
Effervescent and effortless
Go from Galway to Bucharest
You put on her favorite dress and she’s gone
I caught a glimpse of your smile through some rift in spacetime
Two hands meet across the table but neither one is really mine
Neither one is really mine

Webdings
03:46

Days in the basement with horror films and hesitation
Yeah if you want to maybe you can stay the night
And wake in the morning
Repeat our favorite conversation
Love in the time of onerous bylaws you keep making up
But if you're in the mood
We can fly
How do you find my heart every single time
How do you find my heart every single time
How do you find my heart and leave me on the other line
Wait was there something I said
One wrong word and we disconnected
I just don't know what you mean
More than half the time
Drink til we're sober then quit to start over
New complications and old destinations comin round the bend
But if you're in the mood
We can fly
How do you find my heart every single time
How do you find my heart every single time
How do you find my heart
I want to go somewhere where the wind doesn't sound like you
You tell me to listen but you're just not coming through
When you talk I don't know what about
Open mouth only symbols come out
How do you find my heart every single time
How do you find my heart every single time
How do you find my heart and leave me on the other line
How do you find my heart every single time
How do you find my heart every single time
How do you find my heart and leave me on the other line
