An Ending
03:35
|
|||
Now it’s the end
The death of the trends
Lost in the bizarre
I’ll stay while you go in
With the passenger light on
From inside your car
Well thanks for writing it all down for me
I don’t want to make any memories tonight
It was an old friend
But it ripped with the tape
stuck in the VCR
The same place where we went
But it use to be better
From behind the bar
Well I had to buy back everything
I sold my suit and the centerpiece
You were right all along
But these red flags are blending green
I’m colorblind, what’s on the screen?
And our old times are frozen blue
I’ll keep that place, but that’s not me anymore
Now it’s the end
The seams of an era are falling apart
I recycled my friends
Into reusable plastic made of ten broken hearts
And thanks for writing it all down for me
I paid off my loans but the debts not free
Here tonight and now for all of time

I'll Roll Over
04:25
|

I’ll roll over, it’s fine
Sometimes you must do that
Yesterday was crazy
Glad you acknowledged that
When there’s a reckoning I’m lost
Thought you expected that
Don’t ever want an ending
But think about it all the time
Sometimes
Sometimes, do you?
Sometimes
Sometimes, I do
I’ll give in to them now
I don’t care no more
It’s a wall that’s been built
Now in my living room
Can we walk round a while
And get my head out of this place?
I found myself counting breaths
Sometimes
Sometimes, do you?
Sometimes
It’s too much to do
Well I got myself in the middle
Now I lost myself in the middle of it all
I got myself in the middle
Now I lost myself in the middle of it all
The middle of it all
The middle of it all
The middle of it all
Somewhere in the middle

City Leave
05:19
|
|||
Watch the meaning hijacked
Give up the money, it’s not coming back
Neither are you
So what should we do?
Get in a shelter again
Only the priest, don’t talk to your friends
They’re all weird
We’ve known this for years
I was up late last night
House pipes sing in bags in my eyes
Is it just me?
I’ll crawl out of the city
Caught up following the scars
Well I know that this time it’s gone too far
Caught up following the scars
Well I know that this time it’s gone too far
Do you remember your circus love?
I cannot take another look around
Do you remember your circus love?
When you called me I was lying on the ground
Do you remember your circus love?
I cannot take another look around
Do you remember your circus love?
When I woke up I was lying on the ground

Scenes

Let Aaron’s job set the scene
It’s what you want it to be
You always know what I mean
But you cannot control it
Rehearse what you will say
It comes off better that way
Try every trick in the book
But you cannot control it
You cannot control this
Oh, Jenny
I got no money
I got no
Jenny, yeah
I got no money
I got nobody
I crawl into my shadow
Four walls and now I have a home
Where I can hide out at night
When I cannot control it
I cannot control this
Oh, Jenny
I got no money
I got no
Jenny, yeah
I got no money
I got nobody

Thunder
04:04
|

She’s the center of rotation in a love letter town football game
Now the only letters we write are to government people who don’t have a name
And I’m sorry I’m thinking, “Can we leave? Can this train come before it rains?”
And he knows he’s in love cause he wants her to watch him
Even when he’s alone, even when he is shopping
And we slip away but then ripple together
We dress in all rubber to distract the thunder
And I’m clear
And I’m all here
Under the structure I want it to thunder
Under the structure I want it to thunder
Under the structure I want it to thunder
Under the structure I want it to thunder

Sundial Wristwatch
04:53
|
|||
We’re trying to please everyone
All the fathers and all their sons
I lie awake at 2AM
Your sundial wristwatch in hand
And it says
You don’t show, but I want to know
You don’t show, but I want to know
You don’t show, You don’t show
You don’t show, but I want to know
You don’t show, but I want to know
You don’t show, but I want to know
You don’t show, you don’t show
I know that I’m wrong in this scenario
You see me grasping
I know that I’m wrong in this scenario
That’s why I’m asking
I left a drink out on the countertop for after
With garnishes, ice in the glass for when you’re back here
And I’ve been trying to think of everyone, but I don’t know why
When there’s dust inside your looking glass, there’s still crystals in your eyes
And you said
You’ve been trying to please everyone
Your friends of friends, and now I’m done
I can’t get up, it’s 3PM
I’ve been half your love, and I’ve been half your friend
And they say
If you don’t show, then I don’t want to know
If you don’t show, then I don’t want to know
If you don’t show, if you don’t show
If you don’t show, then I don’t want to know
If you don’t show, then I don’t want to know
If you don’t show, then I don’t want to know
If you don’t show, if you don’t show

Jonquil
05:04
|

Oh, Jonquil the lovely
I’d trade my soul to be your ugly husband
I mean it, they can’t stop this with a scandal in the papers
I’d burn them, I’d process my emotional wreckage
finally, It’s tacky - I’d make my life your birthday party, Jon
Oh Jonquil, I miss you
Come home, and I swear I’ll never leave you
I’m sorry, things had got so Goddamn tricky
And lately I wonder where you’ve been and who you’ve bothered
Since then it’s different -I’ve come to terms that I’m your misfit
Now
Oh Jonquil, it’s over
You decided on a four-leaf clover
And it’s been five years now
If I knew what to say, I’d never know how
with that stuff, I regret I got so out of touch
And absence is pretty
Please life don’t go oh-so-dizzy now

Shaking
05:33
|
|||
You should have always known
That our city’s getting older
It’s getting heavy now, with the snow
Patted cleanly on your shoulder
But she’s shaking again
She got high again
Realized she can’t save her friends
Sometimes you can’t save everybody
Say it again
I’m breathing again
Sometimes you can’t save your friends
Sometimes you can’t save anybody
And I should have let you go
I should have told you when we were younger
The seeds are planted, and now they’re sewn
Everybody’s got the hunger
But she’s shaking again
She got high again
Realized she can’t save her friends
Sometimes you can’t save everybody
Say it again
I’m breathing again
Sometimes you can’t save your friends
Sometimes you can’t save any
But she’s shaking again
She got high again
Realized you can’t save your friends
Sometimes you can’t save everybody
Say it again
I’m breathing again
Sometimes you can’t save your friends
Sometimes you don’t save anybody

Prom Dance Glass
04:04
|

And I should know by now
When things get too much
I turn to dance with you
I die in panic bouts
But you burn fire blue
And in the car ride home
After the parent’s meal
And all the prom dance glass
Love-me-not flower petal peels
But I should know by now
That these things last a while
And I should have learned by now
That I just don’t know how
Franklin read your online diary blog
And then he ate himself
The doors open if you stop on by
Just hang your keys up on the shelf
And we talked about nothing else
The same subjects that we always do
Lately when I’ve been trying to dance
I keep having trouble finding you
But I should know by now
That these things last a while
But I should have learned by now
That I just don’t know how
But I’m late, and you can’t wait
I’m always late, I’m always

At The Aquarium
03:59
|
|||
You better run away from all of this
You better get far away from it
All of the birds in my stomach all start to sing
Because I’ve been in my head about everything
We went out and tried to have some fun
I’m in the ‘burbs, and I’m trying to see everyone
You look so handsome and mean in all the right ways
Tonight I’m a dancer, I’m a movie, I’m cement, and I’m clay
Where did you think that you’d be in your life
Up in the air or just under the ice
We tried to waltz before my heart attack
In the aquarium, and grabbed a car back
I’m like the moon, and I’m like the dark because I’m so spacey
But under your harvest glow, you still end up dizzy
Well, you better run away from all this shit
And you better get far away from it
And all of the birds in my stomach all start to sing
Tonight I’m a dancer, I’m a movie, and this is everything

Gin & Tonic

|

I think I saw a ghost standing on the beach
But now it’s just the ocean and me
It’s hard to say goodnight when you’re standing on the beach
Looking at the moon so dizzy
And ever since you left, it’s only been just me
But now the ocean’s here and I’m free
It’s really dark tonight, I can hardly see the light
Blurry shimmer shine across the sea
I’ve been getting dizzy on the beach beside the sea
