She thinks I'm much too thin
She asks me if I'm sick What's a girl to do with friends like this? She lets me drive her car so I can score an eighth From the lesbians out west in Venice Oh, California in the summer Ah, and my hair is growing long And fuck yeah, we can live like this But if you left it up to me Everyday would be a holiday from real We'd waste our weeks beneath the sun We'd fry our brains And say it's so much fun out here When it's all over I'll come back for another year I look for work today I'm spilling out the door Put my glasses on so no one sees me I never thought that I'd be living on your floor But the rents are high and LA's easy Oh, it's a picture of perfection Ah, and the postcard's gonna read Fuck yeah, we can live like this We can live like this But if you left it up to me Everyday would be a holiday from real We'd waste our weeks beneath the sun We'd fry our brains And write it's so much fun out here Hey, Madeline (Hey, Madeline) You sure look fine (You sure look fine) You wore my favorite sweater Being poor was never better A safety buzz (A safety buzz) Some cheap red wine (Some cheap red wine) Oh, the trouble we can get in So let's screw this one up right But if you left it up to me If you left it up to me Everyday would be a holiday from real We'd waste our weeks beneath the sun We'd lie and tell our friends It's so much fun out here When it's all over I'll come back for another When it's all over I'll come back for another year |

This is morning That's when I spend the most time Thinking 'bout what I've given up This is a warning When you start the day Just to close the curtains You're thinking 'bout what I've given up Where are you now? As I'm swimming through the stereo I'm writing you a symphony of sound Where are you now? As I rearrange the songs again This mix could burn a hole in anyone But it was you I was thinking of I read your letter The one you left when you broke into my house Retracing ever step you made And you said you meant it And there's a piece of me in every single Second of every single day But if it's True then tell me how it got this way Where are you now? As I'm swimming through the stereo I'm writing you a symphony of sound Where are you now? As I rearrange the songs again This mix could burn a hole in anyone But it was you I was thinking of And I can't get to you I can't get to you I can't get to you Where are you now? As I'm swimming through the stereo I conduct a symphony of sound Where are you now? As I'm cutting through you track by track I swear to god this mix could sink the sun But it was you I was thinking of And Where are you now? And Where are you now? And this is my mixed tape for her It's like I wrote every note With my own fingers |

I've got my things, I'm good to go
You met me at the terminal Just one more plane ride and it's done We stood like statues at the gate Vacation's come and gone too late There's so much sun where I'm from I had to give it away, had to give you away And we spent four days on an Island at your family's old hotel Sometimes perfection can be It can be perfect hell, perfect... Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes That I am not there, I swear I didn't mean For it to feel like this Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised And don't fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me? Can you make this last? This plane is all I got So keep it steady, now Cause every inch you see is bruised I lace my Chucks, I walk the aisle I take my pills, the babies cry All I hear is what's playing through The in-flight radio Now every word of every song I ever heard that made me wanna stay Is what's playing through The in-flight radio, and I And I am, finally waking up Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes That I am not there, I swear I didn't mean For it to feel like this Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised Don't fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me? Can you make this last? This plane is all I got So keep it steady, now Cause every inch you see is bruised, yeah So read your books, but stay out late Some nights, some nights, and don't think That you can't stop by the bar You haven't shown your face here since the bad news Well I'm here till close, with fingers crossed Each night cause your place isn't far And hours pass, and hours pass, yeah, yeah... Yeah, yeah, she still counts the minutes That I am not there, I swear I didn't mean For it to feel like this Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised And don't fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me? Can you make this last? This plane is all I got So keep it steady, now Cause every inch you see is bruised, bruised, bruised |

(And today was a day Just like any other) I'm on the verge, I'm on the verge Unraveling with every word With every word you say, make me believe That I won't feel your tires on the street As I'm finding the words... you're getting away I come undone, oh yes, I do Just think of all the thoughts wasted on you And every word you say, say something sweet Cause all I taste is blood between my teeth As I'm finding the words... you're getting away Well I'm ready I'm ready to drop Oh, I'm ready, I'm ready so don't stop I'm ready so don't stop, Keep pushing I'm ready to fall, Oh, I'm ready I'm ready so don't call, I'm ready so don't call I am aware, I've been misled I disconnect my heart, my head Don't wanna recognize when things go bad The things that you'll accept Except that I am finding the words... to say I'm ready, I'm ready to drop Oh oh oh oh oh, I'm ready I'm ready so don't stop I'm ready so don't stop (I wake up to find it's another Four aspirin morning, and I dive in I put on the same clothes I wore yesterday. When did society decide that we had to change And wash a tee shirt after every individual use : If it's not dirty, I'm gonna wear it. I take the stairs to the car And there's fog on the windows. (And I'm Fighting the words....) I need caffeine in my blood stream, I take caffeine in the blood stream. I grip the wheel and all at once I realize : (And you're getting away...) My life has become a boring pop song And everyone's singing along.) Well, I'm ready, to drop, well, I'm ready I'm ready so don't stop, oh Well, keep pushing, I'm ready to fall Well, I'm ready, I'm ready so don't call I'm ready so don't call, oh....oh....oh...... |

Finally, I'm letting go of all my downer thoughts
In no time there'll be one less sad robot Looking for a chance to be something more than just metal Now I'm going part time with a film projectionist And she's the vinyl queen from the surfer dream She likes the beach boys more than radio metal And she's so good But she's no good for me Oh, Miss Delaney Whats the matter? You waited by the window (You waited by the window) I waited by the door Oh, Miss Delaney Wheres your boyfriend? He isn't up in heaven So why treat him like he's dead? Like he's... It's not that everyday Everyday is comming up with the green grass But the times pass When I think of you whenever I'm at dinner Finally, I've found someone to duel this lonely sea I don't spend my nights searching for earthquakes Oh, it's biblical how fucked my sleep can be But she won't sleep with me Oh, Miss Delaney Whats the matter? You waited by the window Waited by the window I waited by the door Oh, Miss Delaney Wheres your boyfriend? No, he isn't up in heaven So why treat him like he's dead? Like he's dead, like he's dead From here you can't find everything Erin, I would never lie to you Oh, Miss Delaney, Miss Delaney Whatcha sad for? Well, you waited by the window And I was kicking down your door Oh, Miss Delaney Wheres your boyfriend? Wheres your boyfriend? He isn't up in heaven So why treat him like he's dead? Oh, Miss Delaney |

Oh my god, this hurts like hell
I had that dream again Where I was lost for good in outer space Tell me, doctor, how to shake A waking nightmare that is only worse When I am sleeping Kill the messenger I swear it's not me It's just someone I used to know And get to church cause you're a good girl And I never told you that And all I need from you Could be the thing that leaves us both up here forever I'm gonna send alittle rain your way I'm gonna send alittle rain... It's not so easy, caving in I walked by your appartment twice today While you were gone at work And all the colours got so down It's not as cold out here But come quick, I am losing feeling Kill the messenger I swear it's not me It's just someone I used to know And get to church cause you're a good girl And I never told you that And all I need from you Could be the thing that leaves me locked up here forever I'm gonna send alittle rain your way I'm gonna send alittle rain, send alittle rain I'm gonna send alittle rain To pour down on you Rain that makes the flowers bloom Rain to leave you all alone But keeps eyelashes falling The rest is washed away Kill the messenger I swear it's not me It's just someone I used to know And get to church cause you're a good girl And he never told you that And all I need from you Could be the thing that leaves us both up here forever I'm gonna send alittle rain your way I'm gonna send alittle rain, send alittle rain I'm gonna send alittle rain I'm gonna send alittle rain your way I'm gonna send alittle rain I'm gonna send alittle rain |

Two to one
Static to the sound of you and I Undone for the last time And there this was Hiding at the bottom of your Swimming pool some September And don't you think I wish that I could stay Your lips give you away I can hear it, a jet engine Through the center of the storm And I'm thinking I'd Prefer not to be rescued Two to none Roads that lead away from this I'm following myself just this once And I got spun It appears you're spun as well It happens when you pay attention This could take all year, but When it's quiet, does she hear me? A jet is sent to the Center of the storm And I'm thinking I'd Prefer not to be rescued And ohh-oh, I can feel her, she's dying Just to keep me cool I'm finally numb, so please Don't get me rescued... rescued... And it's unclear But this may be my last song Ohh-Oh, I, I can tell She's raising hell to give to me But she got me warm So please don't get me rescued And ohhh-oh, say you'll miss me (say you'll miss me) one last time I'll be strong, but whatever you do Please don't get me rescued... Cause I'm feeling like I might need to be near you And I feel alright, so please Don't get me rescued... |
