Dessert
02:45
|

sprinkle your words on me
like i'm a pastry
you think i'm so witty
probably should hate you but
that takes so much effort
effort i don't have so
you reach out December
promise i'll call back
am i, am i, am i, am i
sea salt, skin salt, dessert
love me eventually or use me
up gentle
remind me your middle name
details essentials
why i don't see quite yet
ramble and i'll drive
are you a gps
tell me i've arrived
am i, am i, am i, am i
sea salt, skin salt, dessert
find me behind the moon
jumping so it swings
ever the closer to
you and your mood ring
hairdo should hate you
that effort i don't have
so you reach out December
chance is i'll call back
am i, am i, am i, am i
sea salt, skin salt, dessert
am i, am i, am i, am i
sea salt, skin salt, dessert

Corners
03:22
|
|||
drive slow going by your house sometimes
fly by, biting my tongue 200 meter line
talk shit things that i don't know
I don't know, lets split
my bag's in the back seat what's there here to miss
i'll say anything you'll hear
over the hills and far away
i'll say anything you'll hear
over the hills and far away
i don't care what you think do you think that's
still true, guess it never was but it feels so good to say
me, oh my, two corners one mind watch me find
myself sifting all this noise that I still make
i'll say anything you'll hear
over the hills and far away
i'll say anything you'll hear
over the hills and far away
i don't need your shelter darling
i just need a river to cross
every time i build something it falls
autumn you don't have to walk out
i've got space 'til february
springtime you can come when you like

Dear 22
03:19
|
|||
I like whiskey and i usually don't like the taste
but i might someday
i like what you say so much that i finish your words
finish your words
why can't i wait 'til it's my turn
why can't i wait 'til it's my turn
dear 22 i am growing so tired of you
dear 22 i am growing so tired of you
i play hot potato with my heart when it hurts
heart when it hurts
i run in place so nothing's taking my breath away
my breath away
where did i get all this hurry
what does a stranger know about me
where did ig et all this hurry
dear 22 you're supposed to be my bulletproof
dear 22 you're supposed to be my bulletproof
interstellar takeoff
helium balloon and i'll fly
interstellar takeoff
helium balloon and i'll fly
guess it's still play time
i wake four a.m. a sunday, run off to church
why won't it work
two years later and i'm still not sleeping
there's a notebook filled with all the same thoughts
i've been leaving
where did i get all this hurry
where do i put all this hurt
where did i get all this hurry
dear 22 guess i'm not quite through with you
dear 22 guess i'm not quite through with you

Friends
01:12
|
|||
i'm so sick of how you call me when you're lonely
isn't it funny how you keep coming around
but friends don't let friends spend so much time with their exes
lucky for me i got a lotta good friends around
fine i'm sorry i never should have liked your picture
fine i'm sorry sometimes i do the same as you
but friends don't let friends spend so much time with their exes
so i'll hang up halfway through at least you're something to do
so i'll hang up halfway through it's good to hear from you

Remember Everything
04:51
|

my neck hurts from sofas
i get by it's a rerun
three months now, am i seethrough
i linger where i once was
i'll get there when i get there
if i fall down am i sold out
i should know now don't you think so
i'm gone now for the most part
but come the morning i'll be good
i never called you never understood
yet if i'm on the up and up don't you think i should know
by now
don't you think i should know
by now
cheap talk so i'm a criminal
as it turns out they can hate me
lay me out cold table
never meant to here's your heart
i walk down to the graveyard
gouge my name from the headstone
free night sky kiss the pavement
i'm gone now for the most part
but come the morning i'll be good
i never called you never understood
yet if i'm on the up and up don't you think i should know
by now
don't you think i should know
by now
honey
i remember on your back porch stairwell
farewell
but i meant it when i said your name
it hurt like hell
yes i remember everything
i remember everything
i remember everything
still i don't know why i fade
don't you think i should know
by now

Your Sympathy
04:40
|
|||
and you know it's over when
she says something along the lines of
i've been thinking about myself and all those things you want
there's a rebel yell i keep on the inside
i'm too young to swallow all this pride
yeah i think you're wrong, but i'm no good at fighting
and i know you think that you're
doing the best for me
but you should think about yourself
i don't need your sympathy
tell me where does that get me
so i walk home to a house full of questions
the front door asks me about my day
but the mirror looks concerned
and he won't turn away
and i know you think that you're
doing the best for me
but you should think about yourself
i don't need your sympathy
tell me where does that get me
i wanna be done with love songs for a while
they tend to remind me
i wanna be done with love songs for a while
and say what i mean
i think you've been busy living
two years out beyond your body
and i know i've been doing the same
at least i know that i should be here
cause what's so great in running to nowhere
and living forever
who says that won't hurt
i think we're making the same mistakes
praying they'll never work
and i know you think that you're
doing the best for me
but you should think about yourself
i don't need your sympathy
tell me where does that get me

Haley

Haley with the perfect skin i don't want this to hurt you
but i do sometimes
i think i might sleep much better if i knew you were missing me too
cause i've been driving way too much but nothing's moving
it's just all these butterflies came with their ski masks
and i lost track where my head was at
is my heart this cheap or the slope really this steep
who's gonna catch me when ya find out it's the real thing
cheeks so cold but you're in my coat
you didn't let go
if you're a sunset i'm never blinking
i'll burn you right into me
if you're a vision you can do anything
just don't pinch me it's only been a week Haley
haley with the breaking voice did i tell you too much
honesty is blood and you open me right up
and you draw and you draw and you draw and i love it
is my heart this cheap or the slope really this steep
who's gonna catch me when ya find out it's the real thing
cheeks so cold but you're in my coat
you didn't let go
if you're a sunset i'm never blinking
i'll burn you right into me
if you're a vision you can do anything
just don't pinch me it's only been a week Haley

Real Fast
03:47
|
|||
time is a fist and i've got a split lip
some nights i can drive way too fast
i've come alone to you
i've come a long way back
dust in the window beam
memories you get to see
see i'm a little bruised up lately
it's been some trip
i took a long time then, to learn how to swim
but time's never keeping me down again
i can swim through space
and i can drive real fast
throw me a lifeline my crimes your stride
and i say sorry, words fall shy by miles
i'll spar with time again
new rules, move on breath in
your eyes are honesty
it feels good when they see me
see i'm a little bruised up lately
it's been some trip
i took a long time then, to learn how to swim
but time's never keeping me down again
i can swim through space
and i can drive real fast

Moving
04:32
|
|||
i'm carving out a city
to fit inside my arms
where everybody loves you
so love is never far
the cigarettes on sidewalks
are branches on the road
but i don't need your saving
and you still don't want a home
so haley you're sailor
can i be your boat
roll me to the harbor
i'll float
we can keep moving without going away
what do ya say
you say i sound like jim beam
maybe maybe not
but if you're a sailor
i'm an untethered astronaut
and loneliness a hypocrite
i left it alone
now it won't let me come back home
so i float
we can keep moving without going away
what do ya say
why does love like dark rooms
can it even see
and should i not have loved you
knowing you could leave
now my friends are sunshine
and an open door
you'll never guess they know you
and they've seen this all before
we can keep moving without going away
what do ya say
we've seen all this before
fall into orbit
float

Much Longer
05:08
|
|||
it was last november
foggy windowed
fingers cut steam, writing on the walls
that was all i saw
then the mountains of your words found me scared of heights
hide in plain sight
i'll find my way back in time
feed off all you hear
you're a stampede southbound
you're a runaway kite
you'll fly high
promise i won't be much longer
now someone told me this year was the big one
so i called your number
sometimes that feels like home
see i'm just never ready for a first impression
i want you to know
but you've heard that before
blue wash over you
play me like a shadow
throw me down the street
i've been gone for so long anyways
promise i won't be much longer
take me back in time when your six month smile
caught me walking with my hands on both my eyes
i wanted a surprise
there's rings and roots from me to you
there are times in history i just live to change
don't you throw it all away
promise i won't be much longer
i swear by the time you turn off your tv cause
it just aggravates those memories
i'll be somewhere trading punches with myself
cause i keep growing up and i can't stand the sight of
all the stumbling that i've done to get me here
cause here is not really anywhere
close to where i feel i'm supposed to be
i don't have a lot to carry
you're already heavy on my mind

Plumb Line

|

so maybe you're not an angel
but you're still the best thing
that i've found so far
and no one is irreplaceable
but i still haven't met yours
and i think that it's gonna be a long time
why hide it all on the insideHey
