when i saw you walk up the driveway i knew i couldn't keep our promise and when you gave me a grin through the screen door that's when i knew you didn't want to take it slow either later that night your head on my lap the tv muttering on about nothing i looked into your big eyes and thats when i knew it wouldn't be so crummy anymore

CNME 04:02
i met you at a dreary little party where the host was drunk and dressed like ke$ha i laughed at the jokes you didn't think were funny i was pretending to be charming because i was bored i wish that you would stop seeing what you see in me i was just working on a song in the bath when you texted me 'hey, where you at?' it's not about mystery i'm just lazy when i don't text you back and take a nap i wish that you would stop seeing what you see in me i just want to die alone i don't want to take you with me i wish that you would stop seeing what you see in me

in this city we’ve made out of dark we’re gonna be somebody like the supermodels you cut out and taped to your wall tell your mom it’s aspiration we roam the streets smiling to the cold our hands not touching but they find the back pockets of each others jeans to turn our hearts on boy we are the night no one knows that we’ve swallowed the light in this city we’ve made out of dark we keep our lips shut tight love is enough if we keep it close if we can just keep it to ourselves boy the river prowls through everyone we know breathes the chill of alone into our bones but huddled in a subway car at the end of the line we become some new and tiny home boy we are the night no one knows that we’ve swallowed the light

it’s two in the afternoon and i’m still miserable in bed because looking at pictures of you makes me think why i can't have some fun now too but when i step out in the cold i feel so old in my cardigan in my button up the bottoms of my pants rolled i don’t know why i try  when every night i want die in your arms since you’ve left I’ve tucked myself neat in an infinite loop of tv and books and drinking  and avoiding all our friends but when i’m bored on the bus then i get bored on my phone i pull your nice new life right up to make myself feel magic-instant-bad i don’t know why i try  when every night i want die in your arms

Dream Boy<3 03:06
i saw you looking to see if i was looking when you started twerking your hands on the floor your feet on the wall i want it all work it out put your back into it we went to your room and your clothes fell on the floor you came towards me i watched your back get smaller in the mirror i want it all work it out put your back into it

Totoro Jam 04:17
i don’t think she likes what she sees so she’ll take the next train and leave we could’ve made magic in my old sedan this could’ve been our cuddle jam but i’ll leave her by the coke machine huddled when she saw the sight of me and i’ll walk out of the train station and i’ll never ever look back i don’t need love like everyone else i’m sitting here all alone in this crappy rented condo and there’s no one i know to phone when my heart starts beating so fast in the middle of the night i wonder who’s gonna be there when i die no one i know even knows that the world keeps breaking my heart again and again i don’t need love like everyone else

i wasn’t feeling like myself so i walked out into the night i looked out at the endless highway of the sky and i decided to walk into the stars soon i saw silvery disk and i decided it would be my home no need to breathe no gravity to hold me down but i don’t feel happy because you’re not around i hope that you come visit me soon so we can go dancing on the moon i walked around the dust of the moon trying to get used to my strange new home but no matter what moon rock i turned over i always felt like something was missing so i sat down at the edge of the largest crater and thought about all the things i’d left on earth but the funny thing is the only thing that came into my mind was your beautiful face i hope that you come visit me soon so we can go dancing on the moon now when i look down all i see is a tiny blue color pea i think about how when i lived on earth i used to think the moon was a cold dead place but it’s so beautiful and i’m so beautiful i want you to come be beautiful with us so get on the fastest starship you can find take my hand strike a beat let’s go dancing on the moon

Vanessa 02:15
i haven’t seen my friends in weeks i know i’m not all right everything keeps going all weird in the night i’ve been watching too much tv reading too many books i keep on wondering when you’re gonna save me come on and kiss me vanessa you’re sick of home the neighbors yelling along to fox news you’re sick of work old women yelling about blouses there’s nowhere to go there’s no one to see but baby i promise you baby you’ll always have me come on and kiss me vanessa

Lake City 03:51
where i’m from there’s nothing to do but drive across the state line so we can double-fist 40s and go into the woods with the high school girls who think they were born to please so we don’t have to care and i go out there and look the deer in the eyes and i drive off the interstate to go out on the coast and the moon shines down on the water right into my eyes and i know someday i’m gonna be home
