i know what you said
i havent been listening
love when its sinking in
then it stops and
i start again
call me in the middle of the day
just to check and make sure I’m alright
cause ive been losing my breath
waking in the middle of the night
talking to myself in the bathroom mirror
saying everything's gonna be fine
now I’m pacing back and forth down the hallway steps
and i think that I’m losing my mind
i dont wanna feel this way
but i dont think I’ll ever change
i know what i did
i haven't been listening
love when its coming on
i get it wrong
then i try again
one may not be enough
but the second ones got me feeling right
two may be a little too heavy
but the third ones got me feeling light
i dont wanna feel this way
but i dont think I’ll ever change
i don't wanna feel this way
I've been feeling so damn strange

toxic

i know just when I’m toxic and i know just when to leave
i know just when I’m anxious and i know just when to breathe
but its hard sometimes
to see through the lies
that my brain is telling me
wake me up when i get older
kiss me on the cheek before you go to work
cant stop thinking about when this is over
if the way I feel will ever be worth it
I'm picking up myself quite a nice bad habit
i love the way it feels when it all sinks in
the coffee with the koolaid and the allergy tablet
plus the motor mans making me half of my meals
the tv is on with that team that you like
I'm thinking of the ways i could just get by
i like the way you treat me when she is around
when you're picking me up instead of bringing me down

andy won't you tell me when its right for you
andy won't you help me i'm not bulletproof
andy's he is watching, looking at you from the side
if I took it personally it would make me cry
please don't make me cry
you don't wanna be here
its been said before you know its not the first time
if i'm being clear, you stuck your finger in my face this is the last time
andy's on the couch and he is growling at the screen
are you in a good mood or are you mean to me?
don't be mean to me
you say you are hungry and there's pizza in the fridge for me to heat up
you say i can leave now and there's nothing left to do and put your feet up
andy will you please slow down for me?

everybodys laughing at me
in my head
nobody seems to be interested
its ok
I'll be fine
its alright
it takes time
no more walking with my head down
staring at my steps as they hit the ground
wishing i'd fall through
everything is exactly as it seems
in my head
everyone is saying the same things
its ok
you'll be fine
its alright
this takes time
now I'm walking with my head down
staring at myself seeing upside down
asking is that really you?
when i leave here in a year or so
I'll be sure to let you know
all the ways that i could make things better than right now
cause the city feels different when you're friends are gone
but you are here and you're all I want
I'm not worried about the gloomy weather anymore
i hope that you do find what you're looking for

work weekend

catherine's asking about a tattoo i've explained before
tony's in the next room and he's checking on the score
grandma's in the same chair feeling one glass of white wine
she's telling me a story about 1949
everybody's talking over everybody else this holiday
while i keep quiet, wait my turn
going over exactly what I'll do and say
nicky's cracking jokes while doug is entering the house
he just finished 13 miles while I was on the couch
itty's giving me the city spots I should explore
while annie and maria finish puzzle number 4
i'm mastering the craft, the swirling of the glass
the grown-up table mark
when anybody asks I'll try to keep my glass half full
with my mundane remarks, so it starts
gio's sneaking sips, whatever he can get
bella says she's leaving but stuck around instead
claire's eating salami despite what she had said
maddie's teaching me about my self employed taxes
something that I never had looking from outside in it all makes sense
bigger better always, never short of loud noise or any dull moments
its the family that I see more than my own
I hope to one day call this place a home
for everything right now I do not know
i know that this is where I wanna go
so I will try my best
to love you like I should

give me anything
03:27
|
|

give me anything to show me that you care
even if you don't
give me anything before I forget what it feels like
before I'm alone
give me anything. it could be a comment
or it could be a compliment. could be anything
cause I've been thinking that
I'll do something else
something by myself
but am I anything
on my own... I don't know
I know I am sensitive
this is how it feels putting everything out on the line
at one point you were everything
but I've been thinking it is easier to just say goodbye
I know you didn't mean to
but sometimes it makes me wonder why I even try
all I wanted was a little bit
but I've been thinking it is easier to just say goodbye

plane song

I just wanna be a plane over where you are
flying underneath the rain looking from afar
I will crash land on the freeway by the exit to your house
let out the yellow slides and tumble out
I just wanna be the way to wherever you are
even if it is the same and it doesn't go far
I'll be the sidewalk that you step on or the mat at your front door
throw me out when you don't need me anymore
I gotta know baby
where will you go lady?
I want you to be happy
I want you to look at me please
I just wanna be a plane over where you are
flying underneath the rain looking from afar
I will crash land on the freeway by the exit to your house
let out the yellow slides and tumble out

party bus
03:03
|
|||
|
everyone is looking for love on the party bus
everyone is looking for drugs on the party bus
nothing is ever enough on the party bus
everyone's a little too drunk on the party bus
now we're telling the driver to put it in park
and we're all getting out as soon as it stops
the bathroom break is a block from your house
what if we walked and just got lost?

look at me through the rearview
talkin bout the full moon
like i believe in it too
but maybe i should
you don’t know anymore
question what is in store
maybe you’ll buy the place
just cause you can
its not where you wanna be
you’d be living back east
or somewhere in between
where the taxes are low
the note on the countertop screams
she doesn’t read but she sees
where you’re coming from
but how could we leave?
give him somewhere to run
that boy that you love
an inflatable pool
send her off to a new
private catholic school
so happy we did
see the blues in the pack
take em out put them back
what could they be?
the dog is digging outside
close the door and I hide
you’re looking for me
the bus is here
give him some time to calm down
he’ll turn it around
he puts a hole in the wall
but when he’s talking out loud
from his brain to his mouth
he tells me I’m beautiful

i hope its hot where you are
i hope you get to see all the things i didnt see
i left your camera in the car
and i said some things that i didn't mean
but when it all works out
and you follow through with all the things you said you would
what's in it for you?
well i'll find out eventually
