Winter Break
01:52
|
|
||
I came by after dark to drink
your sublet room on chauncy st
it was snowing by the time I left
I didn't see you for another month
as my bike froze over winter break
your cat snuck out and got replaced
I came by to work on songs with you
we hadn't played in a week or two
we should practice more and play for real
but the more I try the worse I feel
so laying down flat across your floor
we'll put it off a little more
I came by but I couldn't stay long and
sometimes I just can't tell what's wrong
I know that I'm acting weird
but the more I try the worse I feel

Cincinnati
01:45
|
|
||
when you said you were in town
and I should go for drinks with you
I thought it would be weird
I hadn't seen you since school
but when we went for drinks
it wasn't weird at all
cuz you were so funny
and you were so smart
I couldn't help from staring in the
warm neon glow
and my heart broke a little
when you said you had to go
cuz I waned to ask if you like pyscocandy
what it was like growing up in cincinnati
why you never use your twitter
and if you're going home this winter
I wanna send you letters in the mail and
I'd come myself if you'd invite me there
til then I'm online hoping you DM me
as if this were aim and it was 2003
I wanna buy beers & get drunk by the river
and maybe then we could make out a little
I wanna see all your favorite movies
and fall asleep next you you watching tv
I just wanna be where you want me to be
whatever's gonna make you want me
I don't know why I didn't notice before
but you're the kind of guy that I could easily fall for

Home Safe
02:48
|
|

summers past superimposed
I overslept in smoke soaked clothes
you say you're doing better now
with nothing left to disavow
a mountain lake, a silver cross
you say you conquered your bad thoughts
call me later
when you get home safe
easy promise easy prey
you're learning out to get away
like when it's safer walking home alone
than to get in a car with the boys you know
call me later
when you get home safe
we're running out of options

Short Term Memory
00:56
|
|
||
there's a couple of things
that I'll never forgive you for
don't know what it means
not to talk to you anymore
I get that we can't still
hang out as much
but I always assumed we'd
at least stay in touch
you never asked
if my grandpa got better
I spent halloween
at his arlington funeral
I tried deleting yr number
but I know it by heart
now I'm waxing poetic
drunk texts after dark
now you seem annoyed
maybe I'm misremembering
my doctor said depression
ruins short term memory

Cable Knit Sweater
01:26
|
|
||
we were up all night talking but you were ignoring me
because you never listen you just try to sound deep
when you got so drunk you threw up in the street
I'll stick around til you ask me to leave
and I won't really care if you treat me any better
cuz you look so good in a cable knit sweater
you say the story's in the soil, keep your ear to the ground
just to look up my skirt when I go to lean down
you study the history of your favorite bands
but when they come on at parties you say you don't dance
for all that I know you don't ever see daylight
you text me like clockwork on saturday nights
when you stumble in around midnight or later
you look so good in that cable knit sweater
I'd like to stay wrapped around yr finger
like a thread of yr cable knit sweater

Again & Again
02:07
|
|

I remember back in 2006
you drew a lopsided heart on my favorite mix
that was the first time I ever heard pavement
it's in a box in my parents basement
with the birthday mix you made for me
when we were together in 2013
I guess a lot has changed since then
we saw this same lineup in 2010
I should have known you'd be here again
cuz I'm stuck with you again and again
and again
and it's not even fun anymore
it's not even fun anymore
it's not even fun
when we saw this same lineup in 2010
these bands were still playing house shows back then
it was the night we hopped that fence after
I still have the scar on my little finger
you said you'd walk me home that night
you stayed a few feet ahead on your bike
and I still thought "well yah this counts"
you still slept over at my house
I should have known we'd end up here again
cuz we end up here again and again
and again
and it's not even fun anymore
it's not even fun anymore
it's not even fun
it's not even fun

High (Please)
00:22
|
|
||
just being around you makes me high
and I always hated getting high
because I feel like I can't leave the couch
and I get too scared to open my mouth
my heart starts beating really fast
I grind my teeth, hide shaky hands
I guess you just bring out that side of me
all the normal signs of social anxiety
I know that I need for people to like me
and you're so hard to please

Some Things Never Change
01:30
|
|
||
I'm not really good at keeping up with my friends
as they keep moving outta state
and I'm not really good at keeping track of my time
no way to differentiate the days
the older that I get
it's getting harder to forget
all of the stupid shit I say
and there's nothing more I want
than to stop retrospective thinking
and live my life day to day
but some things never change
you're still outta town
I'm still hanging around
I'm still keeping my chin to the ground
I'm still bringing down the old crowd
and whenever I feel bad I wanna talk to you so bad
but I know you feel shitty too
and then I just feel guilty
that I haven't called all month
and I have nothing else to do
cuz some things never change

Daydreaming
02:45
|
|
||
I told myself I wouldn't call
but I still put your record on
and we have conversations in my head
about the title track and the one you said
reminds you of the night we got so drunk
we danced to corny songs about the one that got away
and sang along until the sun came up the next day
I'm daydreaming
I know I shouldn't be thinking about you this much
but I wanna let you sink in
in another life
you're on the phone now
hushed and cooing
you call and ask what I'd be doing
if I was in your room
in another life
you're telling me about your afternoon
you're telling me you'll see me soon
you're telling me to go to sleep

Watered Down
01:41
|
|
||
you dismiss me out of hand
or willfully misunderstand
you say you loved me all along
like the way you love
your friends back home
you never were my boyfriend
and once i'm gone we won't be friends
nostalgia prone and watered down
you only want me when i'm not around
you're so smart and i'm so clumsy
honestly you hardly know me
but you still make my stomach hurt
you still make me feel like dirt
you only like me watered down
you only want me when i'm not around
so i'll leave town
