How Do You Love Me
03:56

If I called you up at 2am and I’m feeling fucked and lonely again
I know you wouldn’t be cruel you’d just be sit there and listen
If I cried said I’m terrified
That I’m getting close to the day I’d die
You’d just shake and you’d tell me to go home
And it’s true that I’m probably not worth the battery life
Why do you still stick around or let me stay the night
I couldn’t it out if you wrote it all down
Please write down
How do you love me right now
I make all the jokes
And run from the cracks that are visible only to you react
With a long breathe and worried eyes that justify
When I haven’t heard a thing you’ve said
Cause I’ve been talking about the sounds in my head
I never asked once about you or how you’ve been
And it’s no surprise that my friends are harder and harder to come by
That look over your eyes
Shows that I’ve made it about it me like I do every time
I need to figure it out write all down so I don’t forget how
How you could love me right now
How do you love me right now
I wouldn’t love me right now
How do you love me right now
Narcissistic paranoia
That just means that I annoy ya
And the contacts on my phone are really more than I know
And the ones I want to talk to are usually busy and at home
Suicidal kamikaze becomes less charming as I’m talking
I’m trying to see why you pick up when it’s me
How do you
How do you
How do you
How do you love me right now
How do you love me right now
How do you love me
Maybe I should just stay inside
Stop calling my friends about how hard I try
Maybe that’s another reason why
I don’t understand how you let me inside
How
How do you love me
How do you love me
I want to love me
Do you love me right
If I call you up at 2am when I’m feeling fucked and lonely again
I know you wouldn’t be cruel you’d just sit there and listen

SLIP

No more calling me up at 2:00AM
Saying no we’ll just talk
But I know you know we can’t
Stop playing blind
We trip every time
Throw away all those badly written lines
Like it’s all a mistake I’m on my way but I won’t spend the night
Yeah right
We never learn when you go though we know it always hurts
Done it all before
I know that I’ll want more if we just
If we slip then into your arms I’ll
Fall and kick this habit that harms all
All of the missed nights in your bedroom
We play pretend who’s the one to kill the light
If we slip I’ll give it up up for you
Every inch of fame and fortune
What I wish goes right out the window
Hear the crescendo
I give in to your eyes
Into your eyes
Your eyes
Into your eyes
It doesn’t take much to want your touch
I go still
When you hold me till
Until the room fills up
With the consequences that kill
Like a drug we say well try just to get high
On what so feels good when we know it’s not right
We should be friends let’s be friends
Funny how fast that word bends
If we slip then into your arms I’ll
Fall and kick this habit that harms all
All of the missed nights in your bedroom
We play pretend who’s the one to kill the light
If we slip I’ll give it up up for you
Every inch of fame and fortune
What I wish goes right out the window
Hear the crescendo
I give in to your eyes
Your eyes
I said god damn what a beautiful mess
Me without pants you without that dress
Your eyes
B-B-B-Bombs blown everybody is dead
Hands on the trigger we should just do it again
Your
What if it all goes wrong
What if I fall in love with you and
If we slip then into your arms I’ll
Fall and kick this habit that harms all
All of the missed nights in your bedroom
We play pretend who’s the one to kill the light
If we slip I’ll give it up up for you
Every inch of fame and fortune
What I wish goes right out the window
I hear the crescendo
I give in to your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes
Falling in love again
Hurts the most when you know how it ends

Real House
03:46

We were playing house
Till the rent went up
And they said move out
I don’t want to do that now
I like the lines in the script we wrote
Especially the ones un-spoke
Where we just lock eyes
You say the shows getting bad
All of the tv sets make you sad
I don’t want to be
I don’t want to be
The reason for that
You gotta move
To a real house with real walls
A normal couch where your feet touch the floor
Your head’s on the chest of someone you adore
But I’m gonna stay
In the good dream in the last scene
Where you told me the coffees done
Nobody moves watch trash tv till somebody calls cut
This how it plays out
Every other night on a weekday
Begin to watch a movie around 8
Got to bed and fade to the next day
Then all lights go out
And all of the audience cheers
You turn away and walk out of here
I remembered we’re pretending to feel
Between the start and stop is just a fiction
I think I like the lie like an addiction
That’s why I didn’t cry when the credits were run
I know that you gotta move
To a real house with real walls
A normal couch where your feet touch the floor
Your head’s on the chest of someone you adore
But I’m gonna stay
In the good dream in the last scene
Where you told me the coffees done
Nobody moves watch trash tv till somebody yells oh
A rerun is fine when your in it
Until you know you how it ended
Then it’s just waiting for the screen to go black
Oh a rerun when your in it
If you stop just before the last minute
And you start it again
Can can we start it again
I, I don’t think I can handle losing my best friend
You say the shows getting bad
All of the tv sets make you sad
I don’t want to be
I don’t want to be
The reason for that
You gotta move
To a real house with real walls
A normal couch where your feet touch the floor
Your head’s on the chest of someone you adore
But I’m gonna stay
In the good dream in the last scene
Where you told me the coffees done
Nobody moves watch trash tv
And start again
Nobody moves watch trash tv
And start again
Nobody moves watch trash tv till someone yells cut

30 Somehow
04:41

Find me a father
Who will stick around
One that won’t drown in the morning
With bourbon and god
Find me a woman
Who’ll make me feel like she did
An unburdened kid on the lawn
Just running around
Not all too late to try and figure it out
Get it all down on paper
The things that I want
All I’m trying to do is figure it out
Over 30 somehow
Here longer than I thought
I work in the same job
Making tips on the side
Another club another night
Barely getting by
My sister’s a mother
With a heart just like ours
Nowhere safer than her arms
Who needs a dad with a mom like ours
Not all too late to try and further it out
Get it all down on paper
The things that I want
All I’m trying to do is figure it out
Over 30 somehow
Here longer than I thought
Cracks have expired
My room has gone tired
From holding me up barely holding me up
I’m balanced I’m nervous
Everything’s hurting from holding me up
Barely holding me up
Maybe I should let it fall
Down
Maybe I should let it fall
Down down
I don’t get back home much
New York is pretty far
From an ocean to a river I never felt bigger
Than in the pool in her backyard
And people say cancer
More than they used to
I guess I’m not used to
Saying goodbye
Not all too late to try and figure it out
To get it all down on paper
The things that I want
All I’m trying to do is figure out
Over 30 somehow
I’m here longer than I thought
Than I thought I’d be
Find me a father
Who will stick around
One that won’t drown in the morning
With bourbon and god
