Insomnia Slumber Party
03:36
|
|||
There were 15 of us at the party
No one knew me but you
Then 13 of 'em got up and left and
It was just us two
Tell me how did I get stuck with you?
Now in the meantime I got cagey
Couldn't get to sleep
Got up and went to the kitchen
Didn't know what to eat
Tell me how did I get stuck with me?
I didn't mean to disturb your slumber
Go back to sleep
I think maybe that I'll go home now
Tomorrow tell you 'bout my dreams
I know it's hard to see but I love
To be next to you
Just in the night time I don't know what to do
You're tellin' me it's time to turn the lights out
But I'm wide awake
I know it's only a matter of time now
'Til one of us breaks
Could you show some mercy for goodness sake?
Now if I lay here close, real quiet
Maybe I'll drift away
I'll tell you everything that I've been thinkin'
Forget every word I say
Could you please? Cause I'm al over the place
I'm just a
A big crazy wide eyed fool and I'm
Keepin' you up late
Tellin' you my whole life story
And you just asked of one date
If I had the sense to rest I'd be
In an entirely different place
But I guess for now we can kick it in outer space
I'm just restless, pardon me

This Song Is About You
02:26
|
|||
So here it is, the truth from me
I think about you frequently
I hate you for it mostly
But sometimes you're kinda cute
You say you know I'm not that kind of gal
Let's just keep this professional
Well let me tell you something', pal
That's probably for the best
You dirty cowboy
Riding atop your trusty steed
I need you now, boy
But it's a want more than a need
So don't go getting cocky on me
This is only temporary
I would know because I've done this before
Yet here I am at 3AM just thinkin 'bout your diaphragm
And how it rests so nicely there beneath your beating heart
Well now I've gone and said too much
Referencing your heart and such
You're so vain but this song is about you
You dirty cowboy
Riding atop your trusty steed
I need you now, boy
But it's a want more than a need
So don't go getting cocky on me
This is only temporary
I would know because I've done this before
Most likely someday you will hear me sing this little tune
Most likely you'll be sitting on my bed inside my room
But one thing is for certain
That I'd rather tell the truth and be discarded
Than sit quietly and lie
You dirty cowboy
Riding atop your trusty steed
I need you now, boy
But it's a want more than a need
So don't go getting cocky on me
This is only temporary
I would know because I've done this before
You filthy cowboy
Riding atop your trusty steed
I need you now, boy
But it's a want more than a need
So don't go getting salty on me
This is only temporary
You're so vain but this song is about you

Umbrella Tattoo
03:44
|
|||
I had a dream where I was fighting a demon
I tried to scream but I couldn't make my voice work
You were there playing cards at a loading dock
On a milk crate in a sweet jacket
Not really sure why you were even in the dream 'cause
We didn't speak, but it was nice just to see your face
I had a dream you had an umbrella tattoo
It was green and it matched your piercing that you don't really have
Outside of the dream world
I'm pretty sure, but it's not like I've seen it
We were laying there watching a movie
I turned it off, don't remember what it was
It was dark in my room but I could still see you
Earlier on someone was taking my picture
In the back of a church where they have catechism
There was a bunch of weird figurines there
I knocked one over but I don't think it broke
What a stroke
Of good luck
There was a girl there who hated me in middle school
In my house wearing some sort of bikini
I'm not really sure how my brain came up with that one
But she looked much skinnier than me
How I wish I had more control of the dream then
I've been spending a lot of time
In the dream world inside of my mind
And when I wake up it's hard to break free
Maybe I'm crazy or just really sleepy
But I spend a lot of time in the dream world
I had a dream where I was in Philadelphia
I took a train out to New York City
I know this must sound
Like a cliche pop punk song where they hate their small town
But hey
One time I really dreamt that
I had a dream I had to rescue a little boy
Named Toby who lived on the East Coast
He hid in the dryer because no one understood him
But I did and we had an adventure
"This is the real world!" I said
"All the smells and colors, drink it in
There's a moon and stars, and people in their cars
Inside their houses memories are being made"
Isn't it funny when the dream world is real?
I wrote this melody
Inside the dream world
I woke up and I had to record it
Writing this song sitting next to my dog and
She looks uncomfortable, maybe it's too fast
I asked her what she thought she said "it sounds like Nirvana
But a lot like Blink 182 too"
And the words make her think of Kimya Dawson
What do you call that?
Maybe she's right
It's grunge/pop/punk played on the acoustic
I've been spending a lot of time
In the dream world inside of my mind
And when I wake up it's hard to break free
Maybe I'm crazy or just really sleepy
But I spend a lot of time
Hey, I spend a lot of time in the dream world

Love is a sentimental journey
And I've got the right to say sometimes I don't believe
That it means anything
I can sleep alone, I can dine alone
I could meet someone or I could die alone
At the end of the day I still got this home
Inside my head
It's time we go our separate ways
I'm sorry if you felt ashamed
My own personal curbside sewerstar
Watchin wasps do the tango in my yard
Cause I'm just sittin on a porch step
Right next to your profound loneliness
Take the same idea, rebottle it
And then sell it back to me like it's new again
I'm just sittin in the dark tryin real real hard
Not to break anything, like a string or a heart
They told me this is where the party starts
But it's hard to dance when the lights are off
Yeah it's hard to dance when the lights are off
It's time we go our separate ways
I'm sorry if you felt ashamed
My own personal curbside sewerstar
Watching wasps do the tango in my yard
'Cause I'm just sittin on a porch step
Right next to your profound loneliness
Take the same idea, rebottle it
And then sell it back to me like it's new again
I need the chaos to feel alive
How else am I supposed to survive?
I need the chaos to feel alive
How else am I supposed to survive?
Aaaaaaaaaaaah
Because I'm just sittin on a porch step
Right next to your profound loneliness
Take the same idea, rebottle it
And then sell it back to me like it's new again

Zoe

Zoe's so rock n roll
Even though she doesn't know
Take her out to the show
Says that she don't wanna go and I
I know why
Jenny watches me while I clean the knives
I can see the world spinning inside of her eyes
In which room of this house will she die?
Will it be like a dream? Will she then again rise?
Slice a lemon to put in the tea
She shakes as she sips and she stares up at me
I try to deny the worry inside
But the fear is sewn in like the fur to the hide
I recount to her so many times
I say
Zoe's so rock n roll
Even though she doesn't know
Take her out to the show
Says that she don't wanna go
I know she spends a lot of time layin around it's like
Pullin teeth to get her to make one sound and
She's always sayin "take it slow"
Drivin backwards in the snow
Anxiety will take its toll
I'm lookin in her eyes, inside they roll
Oh
I can see her she's got that look on her face
Like she's seen somethin
Try to tell her that you've been in her place
That you've known sufferin
As she washes the blood from my hands
I know form her words that she understands
She's the one that I'll always defend
I open my mouth and I sing to the wind
Zoe's so rock n roll
Even though she doesn't know
Take her out to the show
Says that she don't wanna go and I
I know why
Because I....
Jenny
Ya listenin to me
Let me be free
I promise you'll see
I'm not like Zoe
1, 2, 3, go
Zoe's so rock n roll
Even though she doesn't know
Take her out to the show
Says that she don't wanna go and I
I know why

Not For Consumption
04:11
|
|||
Sometimes I feel like a tomb
You're on the outside or fully consumed
Mother nature got me feelin doomed
Wish that I could return to the womb
I miscalculated horribly
And now my own voice is boring me
Pretty soon you'll start ignorin me
And that's fine
Cause I'm here
In the now
I don't know why
And I don't know how
Turn me on
Flip the switch
And get out
Tell me why do I lie to myself?
Tryin to believe that you're somebody else
But you're not and you'll never change
You say it's a weakness to feel any sweetness well
It must suck to be you
I'm not sorry I'm through
I know it may sound alarming but
You're no prince charming
You're a lot of things but
Disarming isn't one of them
You emphasize the painfully obvious
We both know that there's never gonna be an "us"
And I wish we could just shut up about it
Cause I'm here
In the now
I don't know why
And I don't know how
Turn me on
Flip the switch
And get out
Tell me why do I lie to myself?
Tryin to believe that you're somebody else
But you're not and you'll never change
You say it's a weakness to feel any sweetness well
It must suck to be you
I'm not sorry I'm through
It's not my job to fix you
To hold you or to miss you
I don't have to love or kiss you
Cause I don't wanna be alone
You make me feel small
Insignificant
But you say you'd never think of it
You're a sycophant
I want nothing to do with you
Still you think you're outsmarting me
Sitting, disregarding me
Well
Talk is cheap but the market's free
And I've already let you go
Cause I'm here
In the now
I don't know why
And I don't know how
Turn me on
Flip the switch
And get out
Tell me why do I lie to myself?
Tryin to believe that you're somebody else
But you're not and you'll never change
You say it's a weakness to feel any sweetness well
It must suck to be you
I'm not sorry I'm through
I'm not sorry I'm through

Genuine Creep
03:35
|
|||
Let me get something off of my chest
I'm a genuine creep
Like I legitimately think you're beautiful when you sleep
I never make a promise that I can't keep
And if I do I leave 1,000 messages after the beep
Until I hear you speak "it's alright"
It's alright
I'm that person who comes up to you
At the grocery store
And courageously proclaims that
I think I've met you before
I'm usually wrong
And I come on too strong
But I know what it's like to feel alone
And I just want you to feel at home around me
Around me
And I still think of you every day
First thing when I wake up
And I know that you probably think
I'm just making it up
Cause I wouldn't let you kiss me
That time when you wanted to...
It's just my luck
Just my luck
But I can be happy
With or without you
Just cause I question you
Doesn't mean I doubt you
I swear I'm an alien
I know you are too
And you've shown me that I can love
Even though I can't love you
I can't love you
Let me get something off of my chest
I'm a genuine creep
Like I legitimately think you're beautiful when you sleep
I linger a little too long
And I come on too strong
And just when you think I've moved on
I come back to you
That's just what I do
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
