Car Door
01:50
|
|||
|
Open up the car door and let the driver out
This is why I shouldn’t open my mouth
This is what I’m talking about
Now I’m going to bed
With nothing left unsaid
This is how I begin and how I end
Now I’m wearing all black and blue
It matches the hue of my heart
When I am missing you
Open up the car door and let the driver out
This is why I shouldn’t open my mouth
This is what I’m talking about

Over/Under
02:56

Autumn’s here and I can’t wait
To get outside and see the leaves
And every day when I wake
There’s less pain, it’s great to see
But I don’t wanna spend another day in this bed
Bit by bit I’ll start to see I’m the only one
Who’s undercooked or overdone
I don’t know
I’m falling down, I’m falling up
I never hit the ground
But I still see your face when I’m sleeping
I’m falling down I’m fucking up
I never hit the ground
But I still see your face when I’m sleeping
Yeah I still see your face when I’m dreaming
Bit by bit I’ll start to see I’m the only one
Who’s undercooked or overdone
I don’t know

Ways to Cope
02:59

What was the first name of the last person to make you smile?
Was it perfect? Was it worth it for a while?
I’m not asking for results
I’m asking ‘cause I wanna know
Are you happy?
I wanna know
Are you happy?
Like smoke through fingers searching for a reason
To stay here another month, another season
I’m not looking for ways to cope
I’m asking ‘cause I wanna know
Are you happy?
I wanna know
Are you happy?
What was the first name of the last person to make you smile?
Was it perfect? Was it worth it for a while?

Jelly Spine (Pop Song)
02:17

I like what you did with your hair
I like your new cut
It makes you look so cool
Yeah, you’re looking real sharp
And making your eyes light up, yeah
It’s enough to keep on
Making you smile is enough
To keep on keeping on
I don’t like going out in public
I always get the jelly spine
All these people looking at me
But yours are the only eyes
And when I light ‘em up, yeah
It’s enough to keep on
Making you smile is enough
To keep on keeping on
Making your eyes light up, yeah
It’s enough to keep on
Making you smile is enough
To keep on keeping on

By Your Side
02:56
|

|
Fortune teller script, empty bottle in my grip
Tonight I’m trying to change
Downtown field trip quick, wish I had the strength to visit
But I don’t
So tonight I’ll wait
Patient at the door
Like a dog, I’ll stay
Content forever by your side
No one tells it like it is, I need someone to cut the shit
I’m going down again
Friday morning’s on the couch, listen to the hum
The way the heater makes it feel
Like someone’s in the room
So tonight I’ll wait
Patient at the door
Like a dog, I’ll stay
Content forever by your side

Punchline
03:19
|
|||
|
Now that the connection’s clearer love
Tell me it’s the punchline
And not me that you’re laughing at, my love
Not me that you’re laughing at
You ask me if I’m feeling better yet
I tell you that it takes time
I can barely get up several steps
I can barely walk at all
So come pick me up
I’ve got stars in my head
And all I wanna do
Is climb back into my bed again
Now that the connection’s clearer love
Tell me why you’re crying
Everything will be alright in time
Everything will be fine
So come pick me up
I’ve got stars in my head
And all I wanna do
Is climb back into my bed again
Everything will be alright in time, my friends.

James walks in looking like an angel
But feeling like the devil
I never ride with him
He moves so slow its like he’s in a coma
His eyes are glazed over
I never ride with him
And if it feels so bad, why do you make it last?
I don’t know anymore
When morning comes, it hits you like an anvil
Dropped out of a window to land on your head
You sit up straight looking for an answer
Praying for a reason to get out of bed
Well, if it feels so bad, why do you make it last?
I don’t know anymore

Kill My Time
05:43
|
|||
|
Hey, can you come over
And kill my time?
I’m losing my mind
Hey, there’s no pressure
You’re just my kind
And I really like seeing you
Hey, are you doing better?
I sure the hell hope you are
‘Cause you’re a bright star in my sky
The city lights drown a lot out
But you still shine bright
Tonight, things will be fine
Tonight, it’ll just take time
Tonight
Now the smoke’s cleared and it’s weird being here.
Now the smoke’s cleared and it’s weird being here.
Now the smoke’s cleared and it’s weird being here.
Now the smoke’s cleared and it’s weird being here.

Common Complication
02:34

So you went and put all your eggs in his basket
And he’s down in the kitchen making omelets
While you lie awake in bed wondering why you exist
And how it’s come to this
Well, I think it has to do with loneliness
And the way our bodies protect us against it
Yeah, it’s a common complication
The way our bodies ache and starve for someone to call ours
But it’s true, what they say:
You’ll fall in love some day
It may not be this moment
It may not be this year
But it’s true, it’ll happen for you
Now my body is so slow at forgetting
The twists and turns, the bumps and breaks it takes
But I know he didn’t mean it
When he got into that car and shot up
And made me see stars
‘Cause I’m still here kicking dirt and breathing air in
But sometimes when I wake up it might hurt
That’s the price we pay for living
The price we pay for pain
And for dealing with it
