Sober

I’m drunk and you’re sober
I wanna call you so we can talk this over
Cause this can’t be over
I’m drunk and you’re sober
I wanna call you so we can talk this over
Cause this can’t be over
Maybe I miss you,
Or maybe I’m just bored
Or maybe it’s a bit of both baby
Who can be sure?
But it’s been months now
I’ve got no reason to call
And I’d tell myself I’m toxic
And hope that you won’t text back
Throw my phone away and delete your contact
But this whiskey in my system
Has got me thinking other thoughts
Heard you changed your number
Wanna find out for myself
I’m drunk and you’re sober
I wanna call you so we can talk this over
Cause this can’t be over
I’m drunk and you’re sober
I wanna call you so we can talk this over
Cause this can’t be over
Just lost my mind
When I tried
To keep you oh
And I’d lose my mind
Just to try
To keep you oh
And hey they say,
Baby I’ll find somebody new
But if that’s the case then I guess so will you
And that’s the most selfish thought I’ve ever had
But there, I said it
I’m just holding onto the hope of holding you again
I’m drunk and you’re sober
I wanna call you so we can talk this over
Cause this can’t be over
I’m drunk and you’re sober
I wanna call you so we can talk this over
Cause this can’t be over
Just lost my mind
When I tried
To keep you oh
And I’d lose my mind
Just to try
To keep you oh

Alone

Coz I only wanna be alone
But I’m finding it hard to be
And I only wanna be at home
If there’s nobody there
Pull the rug out from under me
See if I find my feet
Or if my front teeth
Find the ground
I’m lost where I’m found
I’m happy in my shadowed cave
Kaleidoscope shapes
Collide on the wall to an outside world
Figures and frames in a whirl
And I’ve been breaking my hands
Trying to hold on
I threw the candle in the flame
‘Coz burning both ends took too long
But I feel so at home
When I’m alone
When I’m alone
When I’m
Coz I only wanna be a lone
But I’m finding it hard to be
And I only wanna be at home
If there’s nobody there
Pull the rug out from under me
See if I find my feet
Or if my front teeth
Find the ground
I’m lost where I’m found
But I’m in no Walden Woods
And an illusion of a fusion
Ends in losing and alone again
Whatever that means
I wanna hold your hand
But I’m too afraid to ask
Whatever that means
I wanna hold your hand
But I’m too afraid to ask
So So let me put on my glasses
So I can read too far into this So I can
But I feel so at home
When I’m alone
When I’m alone
When I’m alone
When I’m alone
When I’m alone
When I’m
Coz I only wanna be a lone
But I’m finding it hard to be
And I only wanna be at home
If there’s nobody there
Pull the rug out from under me
See if I find my feet
Or if my front teeth
Find the ground
I’m lost where I’m found
Coz I only wanna be a lone
But I’m finding it
(SOLO)
Coz I only wanna be a lone
But I’m finding it hard to be
And I only wanna be at home
If there’s nobody there
Pull the rug out from under me
See if I find my feet
Or if my front teeth
Find the ground
I’m lost where I’m found

Cold in Sacramento
04:18

Is it cold in Sacramento,
In the middle of December?
You can’t call me sentimental
Starting letters with the weather
But I’m trapped under southern skies
Seeing teardrops pool in crystal eyes
In someone else’s kitchen.
So here’s another note that I scrawled
For the box beside your bedroom door
Where we’d keep disposable pictures.
In your way,
You were falling off your faith
And I was in your way
Wishing we were older
Like I’d aways told you
Valley drive on a sunny afternoon
I was wearing your shoes
You were wearing my perfume.
Now I guess that bottle’s all run dry
The car died
And I ruined those shoes in the moshpit
Of a band we never liked.
I heard you found somebody new
On the other side of the Pacific.
Yeah I found somebody too
With eyes of blue
Who did the same as you.
But that’s alright.
In your way,
You were falling off your faith
And I was in your way
Wishing we were older
Like I’d aways told you
In your own way,
You were falling off your faith
And I was in your way
Wishing we were older
Like I’d aways told you
In your way,
You were falling off your faith
And I was in your way
Wishing we were older
Like I’d aways told you
In your own way,
You were falling off your faith
And I was in your way
Wishing we were older
Like I’d aways told you

Keys
03:28

Leave them on the table
Don’t you ever come back ‘round here
‘Round here
I don’t think I’m able
Don’t wanna hear your voice in my ears
My ears
Oooh
Oooh
Going anywhere else
Anywhere else but with me
With me
Sleeping at your sister’s
In a little place by the sea
The sea
Oooh
Oooh
Well you said I gave you nothing
But that’s what you get for free
And I don’t believe in nothing
‘Cause you won’t believe in me
Would you do me one last favour
When you go and let me be?
Well if you walk on out that door,
Would you leave behind your keys?
Left them on the table
Said you’d never come back ‘round hear
‘Round here
I don’t think I’m able
I wanna hear your voice in my ears
My ears
Come home
Come home

Happiness
01:47
|
|||
|
You’re stuck in the grey again
Between the turbulence
And the total bliss
Thought you were passed this
Ink and tears have dried up
Both you’ve tried when you try
To part some tripartite should of yours
From time to time to try untie the knot
But happiness is not a time bomb
It’s not some still between the storms
It’s the steeple that stands when the hurricane ends
It’s the piece that remains of a heart that won’t break
It’s the dancing on unbroken bones
Because you’re not lonely
Just alone

First Dates and Funerals
05:25
|

|
I’ll wear the shirt
I save
For funerals and first dates
I’ll act like nothing matters
At all
But inside I’m saving stories
That we’ll tell to granddaughters someday
Oh but hey
That’s if we’re around that long
And they don’t go and drop the bomb
And we all
Fade away
On a mushroom in the clouds
Oh Lord, did I say that out loud?
What did you,
Just say?
Well I guess it’s time to order and I
Oughta shut my mouth
It’s just chemicals
That are making me feel this way
Bunch of misfiring hormones
In the back of my brain
But I can’t help but stare
At the lights coming off your face
Bunch of misfiring hormones
In the back of my brain
I’ll wear the shirt
I save
For first dates and funerals
I’ve got nothing to lose but my name
Oh but hey
I never liked it any way
I was wondering if you might wanna take
It from me?
But if that’s too forward,
Maybe we could just share
I don’t mind
I,
Didn’t wanna fall in love
But would you look at where we are
Oh I, I
Didn’t wanna fall in love
But would you look at where we are
It’s just chemicals
That are making me feel this way
Bunch of misfiring hormones
In the back of my brain
But I can’t help but stare
At the lights coming off your face
Bunch of misfiring hormones
In the back of my brain

I'm Not in Love
02:50
|
|||
|
I’m not in love ‘cause I don’t wanna be
Too weary to sweep someone off of their feet
Love’s for the young and by God, I’m twenty three
Oh I’m not in love ‘cause I don’t wanna be
I’m not in love ‘cause I can’t settle down
I’m home every night with nobody around
With a bottle in hand and a soft solemn frown
Oh I’m not in love ‘cause I can’t settle down
I’m not in love ‘cause I ain’t found the one
With a voice like the moon and her eyes like the sun
Thought I had once until she found her own
I’m not in love ‘cause I ain’t found the one
I’m not in love I’m just falling apart
There’s hope in these hands but a hole in my heart
But I’ll paint over cracks and I’ll sell them as art
Oh I’m not in love I’m just falling apart
I’m not in love ‘cause I ain’t found the one
With a voice like the moon and her eyes like the sun
Thought I had once until she found her own
Oh I’m not in love I just ain’t found the one
