Don't Come 03:06
I’m late for my next mistake I’ll irish exit in the suicide lane I never know when I’ve had enough I take a little ‘til I take too much Don’t come looking for me ‘Cause I don’t owe a thing to anybody Don’t come looking for me ‘Cause talk is cheap but I don’t want your money Smoke break on the fire escape For every laugh, two are fake You point out Orion’s belt As if Venus is not out as well Don’t come looking for me ‘Cause I don’t owe a thing to anybody Don’t come looking for me ‘Cause talk is cheap but I don’t want your money I don’t fake love just because I’m lonely I’m late for my next mistake I’ll irish exit in the suicide lane Don’t come looking for me ‘Cause I don’t owe a thing to anybody Don’t come looking for me ‘Cause talk is cheap but I don’t want your money I don’t fake love just because I’m lonely

Starlite 04:50
The trains don’t run around here anymore Let’s walk along the broken tracks to the corner store You roll a joint, we laugh as the sun sets Let’s grab a drink with Tayler before the bands roll in Speed it up, slow it down Dig up the roots of this old town Climb on the roof and scream loud into the night We’re in starlite We’re in starlight Spirits are high in our glasses, in our souls Let’s slip and trip on secrets that we’ve never told Joel plays a riff, Patrick hops on drums The girls are hula-hooping as we all sing along Speed it up, slow it down Dig up the roots of this old town Climb on the roof and scream loud into the night We’re in starlite We’re in starlight Fast forward, it’s last call The real world awaits us all It’s 1:55, the best of us all hide Missy smirks and locks the door and pulls the blinds Speed it up, slow it down Dig up the roots of this old town Climb on the roof and scream loud into the night We’re in starlite We’re in starlight Who needs the real world when all we are is just dying stars? You know our light shines on even when we’re dead and gone Who needs the real world when all we are is just dying stars? You know our light shines on even when we’re dead and gone

You Get Me 03:57
There you are with your words Giving me more than I deserve Here I am, in your eyes Feeling those butterflies It may be early, but I can tell No one knows me better, or treats me so well You get me like ooo You get me so high You get me acting all kinds of shy You get me like mmm You get me so well You get me worked up hotter than hell I never get low when you’re around You erase my fears and kill my doubts And when I’m near you, I hear the sound Of our hearts dancing round and round It may be early, but I can tell No one knows me better, or treats me so well You get me like ooo You get me so high You get me acting all kinds of shy You get me like mmm You get me so well You get me worked up hotter than hell Oh, it’s kinda crazy, I feel this way I never believed in love songs But I’m not lying, I’m just confiding To the world that You get me like ooo You get me so high You get me acting all kinds of shy You get me like mmm You get me so well You get me worked up hotter than hell

Midnight 04:01
Hail’s hitting the windowpane We touch, listening to Kid A Your eyes arrest me like headlights From an oncoming train I’m learning you like a favorite song You’ve suffered through more than your smile lets on If we don’t make it through the winter If you find someone else better Remember me in navy sheets Sharing dreams from midnight ‘til morning There’s something about you I don’t trust Your head gets heavy, then it rolls off And the footprints of your bad decisions Chase after me Under the sunlight, your skin does show The blood underneath But as you lay sleeping, you’re as still as stone Like the bones beneath If we don’t make it through the winter If you find someone else better Remember me in navy sheets Sharing dreams from midnight ‘til morning You take me places I’ve never seen And I keep the ghosts from invading I’ll break up the clouds so you feel the light If we don’t make it through the winter If you find someone else better Remember me in navy sheets I’ll haunt you with my memory Sharing dreams from midnight ‘til morning

Oh, why can’t love be as sure and sweet as a song? Naive, foolish me, who believed in happy endings You take the last train A kiss, and a small wave I hate watching you go I walk home on my own But there’s always tomorrow There’s always tomorrow There’s always Lonely, city streets slick with rain and cold, tall buildings Lights in windows, lovers embrace, oh, will I ever know? You come but you won’t stay It’s great ‘til we part ways And you blame our timing And I hide my crying But there’s always tomorrow There’s always tomorrow There’s always I know someday, you’ll look back at what you gave away I’ll be singing on some big stage, and you’ll wish I was whispering in your ear babe We meet for old time’s sake, Have drinks and stay out late You ask me to stay And I say, not today But there’s always tomorrow There’s always tomorrow There’s always

Write me down Push my name on over to another column Where I don’t belong Write me off Push me out the windows of your thoughts ‘Cause I don’t fit those walls Simples changes You fall from grace, now save face It’s getting dangerous I don’t wanna be on your mind I don’t wanna be on your mind What I do Should not concern you baby, I’m a different breed So tread carefully What I see You can’t conceive, so don’t even try to be My enemy Simples changes You fall from grace, now save face It’s getting dangerous I don’t wanna be on your mind I don’t wanna be on your mind Back down Or back off Why can’t you shut your mouth if you claim that you don’t even care Don’t you know a bridge can’t burn if it was never there Simples changes You fall from grace, now save face It’s getting dangerous I don’t wanna be on your mind I don’t wanna be on your mind Simples changes You fall from grace, now save face It’s getting dangerous I don’t wanna be on your mind I don’t wanna be on your mind I don’t wanna be on your mind

Fountainhead 03:56
You all think you’ve got it figured out Planning your trips on cruise ships Doing what you hate to pay the mortgage I see you in the aisle choosing between beige and white Oh why, can’t you try to see the full spectrum of light? ‘Cause you can’t see it like I see it You can’t show what you’re feeling Then you’ll give away the whole charade And question what you believe in Then come the day when on your grave You wouldn’t be proud of what it says That’ll never happen to me There you go, you’re pulling in To your driveway and perfect lawn When you could’ve spent all that time Mowing, and trimming, and put it in a song I guess it’s just me who want to create beauty Out of my heart and my thoughts That’s where it all takes off But you can’t see it like I see it You can’t show what you’re feeling Then you’ll give away the whole charade And question what you believe in Then come the day when on your grave You wouldn’t be proud of what it says That’ll never happen to me Getting degrees at universities Owing debt to the elite Who wanna spread their own findings So you can follow like little lemmings Off a cliff ‘cause they insist Nothing’s more real that science It’s almost as bad as fools who file into church pews ‘Cause you can’t see it like I see it You can’t show what you’re feeling Then you’ll give away the whole charade And question what you believe in Then come the day when on your grave

I guess I should be happy for them There are smiles, celebrations and announcement Of traveling and buying rings Loving their jobs and what that means For their truth, their goals and happiness I’ll raise my glass from the hardwood floor Trying to pinpoint when getting up became a chore I look for answers in my palms Throw the 8-ball at the wall Check the patterns on the ceiling for a sign What will get my mind Off this losing streak tonight Seems like everything is happening To everyone except for me And I don’t believe That life’s a lottery But I’ve been won over by losing I’ve embraced the renegades Of society’s rules and expectations It’s just that I didn’t quite Self-discipline and use my time To get my name with the greats In the hall of fame So I go on, looking for shooting stars Trading in all five of my cards If I don’t play, I can’t complain What will get my mind Off this losing streak tonight Seems like everything is happening To everyone except for me And I don’t believe That life’s a lottery But I’ve been won over by losing I’m sensing a change of wind That’s my ship, it’s coming in Nothing can go wrong in a daydream But it makes it hurt to see reality What will get my mind Off this losing streak tonight Seems like everything is happening To everyone except for me And I don’t believe That life’s a lottery But I’ve been won over by losing

Free As Me 03:40
What’s your whole problem anyway You know we all die someday You’ll take that fact and call it cliche Just to wrap it up in cellophane Too scared of the world to look inside You let others pull the levers of your mind I don’t need to help you up Especially when it’s me you think is stuck I’m not the one with blurred vision Strip down to your purest part Come out of your iron heart Free your soul from the world’s stronghold Still you’ll never be You’ll never be as free as me Your personality is just a mix of pretty things You made from copying You’re too far gone behind those paper walls Full of excuses and fear I don’t need to help you up Especially when it’s me you think is stuck I’m not the one with blurred vision Strip down to your purest part Come out of your iron heart Free your soul from the world’s stronghold Still you’ll never be You’ll never be You’ll never be as free as me You criticize unaware that what you find Only reflects your ego, and closes your mind I don’t need to help you up Especially when it’s me you think is stuck I’m not the one with blurred vision Strip down to your purest part Come out of your iron heart Free your soul from the world’s stronghold

Waltz #3 03:16
I’ll make the bed, pretend we never slept here I’ll call you by name, babe, as soon as the sun appears I’ll shake your hand after I don’t bring you coffee in bed I’ll seal my lips, no goodbye kiss, whatever you wish As long as I get One night with you One night with you I’ll shut the door, I won’t watch you drive away I’ll drink orange juice, read the news, won’t wait by the phone all day I’ll just sing my songs about everyone except you I’ll keep it a secret and we can return to how we were after One night with you One night with you And if I fall, I won’t bother you at all I won’t ask you to leave her And if you say no, I’ll just pour out my soul To someone less worthy Just give me One night with you One night with you
