somebody's weight

pick up what you're putting down
and if you carry me around I won't put a fight
we're all somebody's weight sometimes
until we learn to walk upright
and then the money will come around
I can handle the bill tonight
we all settle the score in time
and so hold your breath
we're gaining ground alright
just see it through you and me
we don't have anything else to do
maybe we should take a trip
maybe we just need a walk
the sun's already going down
maybe we just need to talk
I'm picking up on what you're putting down
and I can carry it around until we make things right
we all need an escape sometimes
and so hold your breath for just one more night
and in the end we'll make it fine
I just need a little working out
and so hold your breath we're gaining ground alright
and over time you'll keep a friend
we don't need anything else to do

old haunts
02:42
|
|

|
do these grounds have a history?
you keep hanging around looking at your feet.
the ghosts won't haunt you right, but close enough from afar.
It's how you move it along it's not in what it means.
I'm working all the time to bring you misery,
I'm working all the time to make you fall in love with me.
I'm working all the time

no more school

no school for me no more school for me hell yeah now I'm free
now that I'm on my own
I wanna write music all day, oh how I play
all that I have to do is
work a job and sleep and feed myself and pay my rent
I'm living the dream
no school for me, no more school for me hell yeah now I'm free
I can't believe I spent ten years on this humanities degree
but now no school for me, no more school for me hell yeah now I'm free
I've got my own place
play those video games from yesterday
I play Streets of Rage, I play Pilotwings, I play F-Zero
no more dissertation, no more wine and cheese receptions
I'm gonna order pizza whenever I want and live my best life
it's not the kind of thing that you can plan for
you try and shape your life but you don't know what it's store
the world it moves so fast but I just want to go slow
no school for me no more school for me hell yeah now I'm free
not so bad to be finally done with this goddamn music degree
there's no more school for me out of school that's not a bad way to be
no school more school for me there's no more school for me
hell yeah now I'm free

simple reasons
02:22
|
|
||
|
exaggerate the pace
pass off one tired afternoon as a newfound state of grace
old trains of thought too heavy
these days "OK" sounds better
and why fight in this warm weather
and next time I'll go with whatever
the same old change of heart
as if wisdom came cheap.
crawl back to your anger,
and when did you last call your mother?
before you there could have been other
simple reasons to matter.

loopsh*t

you feel real near
I feel you here
we never learned a trick gave it up from the start
but even carelessness will soon become an art
and like a novelist gives story the song
you played your greatest hits I felt you come apart
at every speed at once we always did exist
and made the hours slow
this is the last time I'll lift you alone
a sad mistake that appears when you're calling
we always did exist we never had a start
you made the hours slow and felt me come apart
at every speed of once (I hear...)
the problem with me is that I always like to dig
the problem with digging is that no hole can get too big
and where's the room for love when all you do is give
and where's the room for life when all I do is live
you didn't have to guess but I still gave a hint
I've heard this song before I'll just pretend I didn't
but I want to hold you close I want to feel your bite
I want to come up with new ways to treat you right
I was a step ahead and I was bound to trip
you cleared the way for me and though the floor was dry
it couldn't stop my slip

the secret
02:44
|
|
||
|
like any other day a shot of energy
comes when you realize nothing is poetry
I want to touch the world but earth won't stick to me
I'm still your favorite girl, same old celebrity
everybody has their signature motion
helps to orient, helps to organize the time
what will we do with all of these pages?
file them all away until you feel like being kind to yourself
because nobody else will pay you any mind at all
