Oh, baby
When I kissed you
Like a stamp on an envelope
To a place that I don’t know
Is it raining there?
Is it raining there?
Is there weed smoke?
Does it swirl against the windowpane?
In a sad, yet romantic way?
Has the table become an ashtray?
Are you ready?
I’m not ready

Friday's winding down
The bars have emptied out
Darling, all the the moments we waste are counting down to one
Darling, all the the moments we waste are counting down to one
Every speck of dust on the ground is crying out for love
Lay me down,
hold me close
Tell me I'm better off alone
Your place later on
Everybody's gone.
Darling, I'm so fragile and wasted and I'm feeling dumb
Darling, I'm so fucked up and wasted and I'm feeling dumb
I guess I'll feel that way on the ground, I'm lying down for love
Lay me down
Hold me close
Tell me I'm better off alone

Loser

I’m a loser, but I’m playing it to my advantage
I took a few on the chin, but I’m standing
And I’m about to turn it around
At the gate, I’m drinking my milkshake-y-shake
The whole operation is late tonight
And I can’t see the stars from my plane
When I graduate
When the occupation’s over, if I stay
If I stay, throw out all my hopes of closure
Would you wait?
I’m a loser, but I’m playing it to my advantage
I’ve got my head down, I’m reading the classics
And I’m about to turn it around
In I go
They say that they’re ready to start
but they all see the sweat on my hands, oh god
and hear the speed of my poor little heart
Without a trace
You did fine ’til you fucked the closer, if I change
If I change, throw out all my hopes of closure
Would you wait?
I’m a loser, but I’m looking for you in the stands
For the first time, you’re there with your hands up
And you’re shouting as loud as you can
And I’m thinking I might stick the landing
And you’re saying aloud that I can
And I’m about to turn it around
Oh, I’m about to turn it around
Oh, if I were you, I’d hang around

Tired Friend

Hello, tired friend, hello
You found me, you found me, hiding in Madrid
I forgot how hard you press
Your lily-padded fingers in my chest
How dare you, how dare you
Don’t go suck up all the day
For I’ve made plans to fall in love this May
Go away, go away
Forgive my running way
For feeling fine so far away
God knows I’m tired, too
Tired of giving all to you
I give all to beats and breath
Sick of not feeling my best
Talking through a heavy chest
Calling grief just tiredness

Shiny Things

I know because I saw your evening gown
Even though you hid it in the pantry
But we were walking taller than the bits and the sounds
So I believed the tale you told me
On down the wheel,
And the lonely nights are real
When I die, you make my tombstone
Out of number nine diamond jewelry
Turn my body into gold and shape it into chains and rings
And I’ll pity all the young men who are saving up their money
And the old men with the piles of shiny things
It was buried in the clockwork and the windowpanes
You know I thought that you’d come with me
Even then you knew that we were wasted on the plains
And the cold earth beneath our bodies
It was all for show
Name, time, and county, baby, pick a row
When I die, you make my tombstone
Out of number nine diamond jewelry
Turn my into my body into gold and shape it into chains and rings
And I’ll pity all the young men who are saving up their money
And the old men with the piles of shiny things
When she’s gone, down the line when you’ve grown old
Don’t be surprised when all that’s left is gold

Promise You
04:24
|

|
May I lay my head on you?
Promise not to fall into
Helpless, hopeless love with you
Far too fearful to do wrong by you
I know you'll go on your way
Find a man who's not afraid
Who won't tuck his love away
Knows you'll leave him but loves anyway
God forbid you hold me
Trembling through the night
And when morning breaks
I can't shake the shakes
I can't seem to make it right
I can't seem to make it right
I fall into
May I lay my head on you?
Promise not to promise you

Denim on Denim

On the night we met
I cancelled all my plans for a week
My heart tells me nothing
So I couldn’t believe
You were someone
I might change for
I’d confess all my sins
And then we’d lie on the floor
Did you get that text?
Are you out of range?
Did the stars align?
Do you remember my name?
I’m torn between cosmic and mundane
I couldn’t love you
No, I don’t love
I shouldn’t love you
But what’s the difference?
If I’m walking around, downtown, spaced out
Drawing maps on the sides of buildings
Thinking maybe I could will your love
I know it sounds crazy
And if you hear this song
And it sounds like a clever thought that you forgot
Then of course it’s about you
Put it in your pocket

Boogie Nights

Love, all the glitter we’ve inhaled
Oh, you’d think we’d have some ailment to the lungs
So glistening
And oh, world’s hanging by a thread, love
We’ve gone a bit unsteady, love, we’re drunk
I worry
These nights we’ve spent together
They’ve left me with tinnitus
And it’s quiet now without you
But you’re ringing through the silence

Pillow Talk
03:16
|

|
She falls asleep without a sound
No pillow talk this time around
Midnight thunder gives the bed a shake
Now we’re both awake
You’re my best friend
You’re my best friend
I kiss your head, far from your lips
Friends in bed
Don’t share a pillow
