Born to be a dancer
Unfulfilled by their spectating eyes
She was cast away, a stray
Running to survive
And she was a stranger
Unfamiliar with their cast iron smiles
She had gone out west to bury what's left
Of a speculative nest she tried to forget
So I guess (I guess)
This is it (That's it)
I'm not anywhere closer to where I was going
Oh (I guess)
That this is it (That's it)
I'll send you a postcard if something reminds me of you
And she felt the danger
On lonely highways growing desolate and wild
Her tattoos fading in the rays
Of the summer smile
And quick like a cancer
She made her way to where she
lived as a child
Back out west where the only thing left
are the memories she repressed
In the valley of death
So I guess (I guess)
This is it (That's it)
I'm not anywhere closer to where I was going
Oh (I guess)
That this is it (That's it)
I'll send you a postcard if something reminds me of you
Tried my best to stay clean and satisfied
But I couldn't figure it out to save me
I'm back home to disappear but I don't want to talk about it
I was never enough for you to love me baby, please
So I guess (I guess)
This is it (That's it)
I'm not anywhere closer to where I was going
Oh (I guess)
That this is it (That's it)
I'll send you a postcard if something reminds me of you

Don't Speak
03:13
|

Shame, bitterness and judgment
Why? I just want to let the feeling die
And get on with my life
Blame, misdirection and resentment
Tried to diminish all my exits
Why? Thought you wanted me out of your mind
Cause I was a waste of space and time
Think it'd work when stars align
But now we don't speak
Isn't that weird?
I want to believe it was something special
Now it's just history that I can't remember
Did you know I'd go to spare you the argument?
If it's your move I can handle the truth but without you
I've got nothing to lose
Forgot all the names of your crew
Now it feels like a daydream so
Here's a song of redemption sung for you.
And now we don't speak
Isn't that weird?
I want to believe it was something special
Now it's just history that I don't remember
Tell me you felt a sudden fear of affection
And I kept calling you out of love
Now you're calling me out of the blue just to say I'm thinking of you
Now we don't speak
Isn't that weird?
I want to believe in you
And now we don't speak
Isn't that weird?
I used to believe it was something special
Now it's just history that I won't remember
Tell me you feel a sudden fear of affection
And I keep calling you out

Fistful of Bees
03:16

Fistful of bees and a mouthful of honey
The second for love and the first ones for money
And I can't compete with the bruised up persuasion
Is it diamonds or me?
An anxious confrontation
My damage cast us overboard
I can't control it anymore
I wanted your heart and your soul
You left a sting that never let go
I'm swelling again guess you already know
Fisful of bees and a mouthful of honey
So come pollinate me with fruit from a bad tree
We are cursed to conceive it we don't want to believe it
We should sow azaleas and daisies
Your sting left my joy in vein and swollen for hours
My damage cast us overboard
I can't control it anymore
I wanted your heart and your soul
You left a sting that never let go
I'm swelling again guess you already know
Too cold to integrate
Now I can barely stay awake
I was never a king, just a drone for a queen
My damage cast us overboard
I can't control it anymore
I wanted your heart and your soul
You left a sting that never let go
I'm swelling again guess you already know

Heart at Home
04:18
|
|||
There's a hole where the home goes
Tufts of weeds left to overgrow
In years of neglect the sun still glows
Need to grow before I grow old
I keep sleeping in my wet clothes
It's not raining, inside my head it pours and pours
Trying hard not to reach you
Don't worry I don't hate you
I just think we need a summer apart
I left my heart at home in the dark
I won't tell you what you want to know
I drove myself home all alone in the dark
I really want to take it slow
I hope you already know
During normal waking hours I waiver in my self worth
Feel so anxious beneath the summit of love
Everything losing pressure
How do I address her?
When the years drag on I forget it's been so long
Trying hard not to reach you
Don't worry I don't hate you
I just think we need a summer of love
I left my heart at home in the dark
I won't tell you what you want to know
I drove myself home all alone in the dark
I really want to take it slow
I hope you already know
Trying hard not to reach you
Don't worry I don't hate you
I just think we need a summer of love
I left my heart at home in the dark
I won't tell you what you want to know
I drove myself home all alone in the dark
I really want to take it slow
I hope you already know
I hope you already know

XO Skeleton
02:37
|
|||
No matter what I say I will never escape this (XO Skeleton)
Feel it crawling beneath the floorboards to where I'm sleeping (Somethings creeping)
And I'm confusing grace with fear and love and what feels right for me
Makes your body sore and slow how dare it fail you (XO Skeleton)
Brings you down to your knees as you plead and beg for mercy (Sunday sleeping)
Cause I've been losing grace over fear and love and what feels right for me
I don't want to feel down or shame
If only I could change my XO skeleton
I've been losing this race, last place
If only I could change my XO skeleton
Feels so strange to be dead and walk among the living (XO skeleton)
Nothing impresses me but damn taste that sugar (Got me shakin')
Now I'm losing sleep over fear and love and what I don't need to say
I don't want to feel down or shame
If only I could change my XO skeleton
I've been losing this race
I'm last place
If only I could change my XO skeleton
I'm just fixing my crown, xo skeleton
Don't try so hard to let yourself down
I don't want to feel down or shame
If only I could change my XO skeleton
I've been losing this race, last place
Only I can change my XO skeleton
I don't want to feel down or shame
If only I could change my XO skeleton
I've been losing this race
I'm last place
If only I could change my XO skeleton
XO skeleton
XO skeleton

Lurkin'
03:40
|

This ain't the type of rain
That I like to see when I'm walking in dreams
This ain't the time and place
To be seeing your face
When it's been so long, so long since the day
We went our separate ways
So give me a brace or fair warning
When you're back in town
Staying home if you're lurking around
I don't mean to place no blame
I just gotta retreat, maybe get some sleep
I hate to be so vain, guess I'll never change
When it's been so long, so long since the day
We went our separate ways
So give me a brace or fair warning
When you're back in town
Staying home if you're lurking around
I never bothered you
Labored or fathered you
Baby you're not my sun
But I shouldn't argue when I never really wanted to call
It's been so long, so long since the day
We went our separate ways
So give me a brace or fair warning
When you're back in town
Staying home ever since that day
We went our separate ways
So give me a brace or fair warning
When you're back in town
Staying home if you're lurking around
So long, so long

Get Out
03:19
|

Do you remember wasting light in September?
Thought that we'd grow old forever
Only true friends matter
And like old photographs they scatter
Love or hate you take the ladder
I'm still locked in a cage you rattle
No way out
I was a fool when I met you
I'd do anything just trying to impress you, undress you
I hid my feelings like I had none
Cruisin' with you shotgun
Friendship is the new sport
With you I'd go anywhere
So tell me where you want to stay
Cause baby I could change
I'm really up for anything at all
I want to save this, maybe rearrange it
And try before there's nothing left to reconnect us now
I can only hope to make things right someday
Your new number evading me
You couldn't help to change my ways it was all too crazy
Now I keep on acting out
And you know I'm hurting
I'm too slow
Why can't I just apologize, compassion it's basic
Self hatred's shameless
And I don't want to go out
I want to stay
I don't want to change
Not really up for anything at all
Don't want to say this, but I'm tired of waiting
We tried before, there's nothing left to connect
You are breaking my patience
There's nothing left to reconnect us now
Get out
Just tell if you want to stay
Cause maybe we can change
I'm really up for anything at all
Maybe we can save it, maybe rearrange it
And try before there's nothing left to reconnect
I was waiting so patient
When there was nothing left to reconnect
I don't want to say this but I'm tired of waiting
We tried before, there's nothing left to reconnect us now

Sudden Relief
04:19
|
|||
Lost cause, baby why'd you bother
You give and never receive the right attention from me
When I was broken, dirty and called it natural
I hadn't grown from the kid you use to dig way back then
And yet unafraid you waltz into my wicked world
Don't mind the ghosts while we sleep
We both prefer to leave early but do you want to go home?
Cause we can stay out, it's getting late out
We could go back home and watch our shows
We can move, we can stay
Make a home right here or far away
As long as I'm there with you
We can turn down the lights and draw the blinds
When the world outside has lost its mind
I feel a sudden relief whenever you're next to me
So hard, how can I even tell you the kind of person I was before you gave me your love
I was naked, ready to give in to dying alone
But your eyes wide as the valley where I go alone every february
And now I want to go home
This place is played out
I want you right now
So lets go upstairs and love some more
We can move, we can stay
Make a home right here or far away
As long as I'm there with you
We can turn down the lights and draw the blinds
When the world outside has lost its mind
I feel a sudden relief whenever you're next to me
I'll keep you guessing
Limit my messes
And drive you through the new york state
When I'm racing
It's only you I'm missing
So pack me up and return me to love
Return me to love
Return me to love
We can move, we can stay
Make a home right here or far away
As long as I'm there with you
We can turn down the lights and draw the blinds
When the world outside has lost its mind
I feel a sudden relief whenever you're next to me
Whenever you're next to me
Whenever you're next to me

Show on the Road
03:47
|

Swim, surrounded by birds and trees
Whites in stripes on every peak
Don't take me back I don't want to go home
Peace, wine at night and your cold knees
Light a fire and feel the valley breeze
They'll name that park for just me and you
So why can't we stay?
It's only been a few days
There's no price I wouldn't pay just to roam free with you, baby
I'm gonna tell the folks back home we took the show on the road
Far, never felt as far as it could be
Needed someone I love next to me
This world felt flat before you came my way
Oh then there's home, not a choice just like anything goes
Where I sleep and where I fold my clothes
But will I find peace tomorrow never seems to know
Don't you hate this stupid play
I never really act too much like me
I've got no reason left to stay
So let's just roam free, me and you, baby
I'm gonna tell the folks back home we took the show on the road
So why can't we stay
It's only been a few days
There's no price I wouldn't pay
Just to roam free with you baby, roam free with you baby
I'm gonna tell the folks back home we took the show on the road

Bother You
04:17
|

I can't be chasing you when the sun goes down
Please come and save me
Restless in our quiet town
If you say take me away I'd ask you how far
So we broke our engagements, bounced the checks
And left our home
Hopelessly waited for some time alone
But there's kinds of stress that await no matter how far
When you break your own heart
And let it bend the way that you shouldn't
Forget to lock the doors that you open
I cannot wait to bother you whenever I want to
I can't outweigh the pros with you
You can't be chasing me when I'm coming down
I desperately waited for you to come around
I hope we can chase our dreams no matter how far
So let's hope we make it
Fix the fence and make a home
Save our late ages for some time alone
Explore anywhere we please no matter how far
So don't break your own heart
Or let it bend the way that you shouldn't
Forget to lock the doors that you open
I cannot wait to bother you whenever I want to
I can't outweigh the pro's with you, and not cause I want to
I cannot wait to bother you
I cannot wait to bother you
I cannot wait to bother you
I cannot wait to bother you (wherever you want to, wherever you wanna go)
I cannot wait to bother you (wherever you want to, wherever you wanna go)
I cannot wait to bother you (wherever you want to, wherever you wanna go)
I cannot wait to bother you (wherever you want to, wherever you wanna go)

Bar Harbor
05:18
|

Off my balance hit my knee hard on the coffee table
Left my bruises at the door
Walking to the car, take me far to the bar harbor fog in the fall with my dog
Mountain climber she's an old timer but she still knows how to bark
And howls in the night when we fight waits at the top of the stairs when I'm gone
Crawled up the hive and felt my knee scrape, scared awake
From the droning feeling of this emptiness
And so hungover, just don't fall over, just get over
Your heart is not breaking it's just caving in
But from the peak I can see
All that it means
Everywhere we've been
Our hopes and dreams of what we will never be
Don't it make you want to let go? The distance?
If falling was your favorite season
I don't get why your leaves are changing now
As we drive into the distance
I get this feeling that we're
Too divided to find a reason
I can barely understand you now
But I'll listen
The bed that you sleep
The people you meet
The memories you keep seem to wane and fade endlessly
Don't it make you want to let go? The distance?
If falling was your favorite season
I don't get why your leaves are changing now
As we drive into the distance
I get this feeling that we're
Too divided to find a reason
I can barely understand you now
But I'll listen
She's climbing up the ladder
To take another picture
She's calling in the distance, listen
Off my balance hit me knee hard
Left my bruises at the door, listen
If falling was your favorite season
I don't get why your leaves are changing now
As we drive into the distance
I get this feeling that we're
Too divided to find a reason
I can barely understand you now
As she drives into the distance
Away from me and everything
She's calling in the distance (she's calling in the distance)
I'm starting to unravel (I'm starting to unravel)
So take another picture
She's calling in the distance
