Like Love

Baby's a martial artist, paint you in your own blood
Rip your heart out with red lip gloss, it'll feel like love
And if I had reversed my mind,
I'd have lost my golden line:
"I'm at a loss for words from time to time."
I'd tell her to come over, she said she'd never leave
She got her heart broken watchin MTV
Only ever running on two hours of sleep
Said I'd stay awake and I haven't slept a wink.

We Can Leave
03:08

I've been looking for an angel and a devil and I found both
And I'm looking pitiful with no shower and my stained clothes
And you came at the wrong time in the right place
Can't even attempt to wipe a smirk off my face
But I'm gonna sleep, I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna let my love go where it wants to be
You and me, we can leave
We can leave
Always wonderin' what you're doin' when I'm off doin' my own thing
Can't even fathom the life that you live when you're without me
That's not to say I think here is great in the least
But I'm caught up in my head wishin' I could leave
But I'm gonna sleep, I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna let my love go where it wants to be
You and me, we can leave
We can leave

Fire Burnin' Houses
04:01
|

|
There's always fire burning houses
In the city of Grand Rapids
Every time I sit out on this porch
And I was talkin' to my friends
Before they ditched me for the bar
And I started thinkin' about who I am
I live in too many houses
Always sleeping on beds made of hardwood floor
Til my neck hurts in the morning
Feeling like crying walkin' out the door
And sometimes I feel like I am often in your way
But thank you for the place to stay while he loves you 'cross the floor
If I claim I'm so educated
Why do I still smoke cigarettes?
If our love is now unrelated
Why do I retreat to the porch when you're here?
Why do I retreat to the porch when you're here?
If I claim that I am remotely
As smart as I wanna be
Why do I keep on returning
Just to watch you while you sleep?
Just to watch you while you sleep?

This is like when you turn the water too hot
And step in before it reaches its peak
Little by little it starts to burn you
And you have to back off on the heat
And I'm jaded, green with envy
Of your ability to breathe in the steam
So cynical, life ain't so beautiful
When you're in a love-hate relationship with something you feel
Cuz I just make up everything that I'm feeling
And you're trying to make it up to me
I wish it were as if I had no problem
And I wish it were as if you had no need
I'm not exactly sure that I like what I'm seeing
And I'm not exactly sure that you disagree
I guess the point here that I've been making
Is you've got to have fun if you wanna be free
Synthesizers killed the rock 'n' roll star
Synthesizers killed the rock 'n' roll star
Synthesizers killed the rock 'n' roll star
Tried telling the truth but got caught up in the lie
I am lying when I say I love you
I am lying when I say I love you

A Heavenly State
03:47
|
|||
|
It's getting late
In a heavenly state
I've been thinking about you all the time
And now it feels strange
To be alone in my bed
Without you waking up next to me all night
And I just wanna keep on
Falling in love with you over and over again
And I think we should both
Fall in love and we'd never have to pretend
There's a world, there's a place
In a heavenly state
And I've been waiting here since we met
We could go to Chicago,
Take a train, ride the bus home
We could see the lake from the other side
Or we could move to Seattle,
Rent a loft and not settle
Sell our art for a fair price
It won't go as we planned it
Maybe worse, maybe better
But getting there is at least half the ride
Figuratively dancing
Complete over-romancing
Some place we can both feel alright
And I just wanna keep on
Falling in love with you over and over again
I think we should both
Fall in love and we'd never have to again
There's a world, there's a place
In a heavenly state
And I've been with you here ever since

When the Sun Set
05:20
|
|||
|
I don't mind being lonely
I've got mother nature to listen to me
The whistling birds and hissing stream
Think I'll just take a seat
Sitting on this blue bench
Feeling everything but blue
Been a while since it started falling apart
And a whole lot less since I thought about you
But now I'm tired of all my friends
Only wanna see 'em on the weekends
And I got sleepy when the sun set
So I came here instead
Been a while since you've been on my mind
And everyone I know just said give it time
But in hindsight I shouldn't feel so blue
But in my mind's eye I see pictures of you
But now I'm tired of all my friends
Only wanna see 'em on the weekends
And I got sleepy when the sun set
So I came here instead

Jenna, Back in December
04:36

Been round your finger a few times now
Like a ring that's stuck and won't come off
Your new boy is oil trying to give me the slip
And this happens to me more than you might think
And I tell myself
I'm the best thing to ever happen to you
Completely selfish
Wishing that were true
And I would say
I just want you to be happy
But lately I'm just not in the mood
Jenna, back in December
She told me that she wanted me
And you could say that I believed
Til it broke my heart
Cuz I said, "I doubt you'll actually stay."
She said, "You don't need me anyway."
And now five months later I understand
Cuz I've had the time to be myself
But I tell myself
I'm the best thing to ever happen to you
Completely selfish
Wishing that were true
And I would say
I just want you to be happy
But lately I'm just not in the mood
I tell myself
I'm the best thing to ever happen to you
Completely selfish
Wishing that were true
And I would say
I just want you to be happy
But lately I'm just not in the mood

Who are you foolin'?
I ain't your cat, dog
Got what I want in my sights, I'm gonna grab it
I just need to cool it
Why does this happen?
I miss my chance and I can't have it
But I'm startin' to think you're a lesson for me
That I can't get everything I want
I'm down on my knees, yes I'm begging and pleading cuz I'm
Overdue
You're not just kidding,
No you really mean it
And I can't believe that this is happening
Now that you're leaving
Can't get you off my mind
Soon as I get the chance I can't have it
But I'm startin' to think you're a lesson for me
That I can't get everything I want
I'm down on my knees, yes I'm begging and pleading cuz I'm
Overdue
Can you say déjà vu?
Can you say déjà vu?
Can you say déjà vu?
Thought I'd be better with you

PBR and Cigarettes
Well versed in bullshit
I walk up to your yellow door
And I've got a complex
With being too average
And I'm sleeping on the bed on the floor
Until the sun comes out
So much cussin' I need to watch my mouth
I'm wide awake on a box spring bleeding out
I'm living it up at the heartbreak hotel
With you leaving I'm not doing so well
I'm living it up at the heartbreak hotel
With you leaving everything just feels like
You make me feel tired, I'm half awake
And holy cow, good lord, good grief
With you movin' soon to Californ-I-A
I'm ashamed to feel relief
Until the moon goes down
I've got these feelings that I need to drown
Just sit right there I can't talk much right now
I'm living it up at the heartbreak hotel
With you leaving I'm not doing so well
I'm living it up at the heartbreak hotel
With you leaving I'm not doing so well
Cuz with you leaving everything just feels like
Hell
With you leaving I'm not doing so well
Cuz with you leaving everything just feels like hell

Californ-I-A
03:58

Workin' hard for someone else's dime
Always exhausted when I get home
We'll live the high life when I get mine
We'll be together and all alone
We'll dream of California and bright blue sunny skies
Make that engine weep for the end of the horizon line
Pack our bags, honey, it'll be a roller coaster ride
We'll go to California with the future in our eyes
Where all we'll ever get is time
Bored kids with nothing else to do
On the corners of every street
Everyone acts because they have no clue,
Everyone's faking it just like me
Drive through the valley in a pickup truck
Not just the weekend but everyday
We'll find a way to give ourselves good luck
And our work will finally pay
Let's go to California, give 'em all a piece of our minds
Cuz I promise someday, baby, you'll see my name in lights
I've got a hunger that can't be satisfied
Let's go to California so we don't get left behind
And finally get on with our lives
I wanna go someplace where all we'll ever have is time.

All Washed Up
08:18
|
|||
|
All washed up
No place to go
Keep on revvin' your engines but you move so slow
You're trying to find
Your beginner's mind
Been lazy, bored, and always feeling behind
Southern North American sadness
Always feeling restless
Inherently against progress
But tired of living average
You used to have a whole lot more fun
But now everything is a chore and you can't seem to get anything done
You used to work seven days a week
But now all you have the motivation to do is take the whole day to sleep
With every breath it becomes increasingly hard to breathe
Open wounds
Your heart gets bruised
Always guarding your actions, take defense so soon
Maybe it's your friends
Maybe it's your fault
Maybe you don't even know what you want at all
You used to feel a whole lot more fun
But now you feel like the victim of a joke that's gone too far
You used to be unafraid to speak
But now you feel like a child with every last person's critique
One simple sentence can ruin your whole week
But it doesn't always look so bleak
I'm acting
Give me an award
Hiding the direction
I've been looking toward
Unsurprised
Brown hair and dark eyes
Just looking for something
I thought I'd never find
