Grandma's Garden
02:20
|
|||
Running out through the muddy meadow
Limbs flailing out of the wheelbarrow
Down to the edge of Grandma’s garden
Is this everything you thought you’d wanted?
Petulant kid playing silent treatment
Doubling down ‘cuz you know I’m stubborn
Obvious where I could’ve got that from
Am I not who you thought I would be
Am I not who you thought I would be
Am I not who you thought I would be
Am I not who you thought I would be?

What U Want
03:24
|
|||
I met you at a party when I was sober
You were wasted, confessing over
How you’d cheated with a past love
Crossed my heart I’d never tell anyone ‘cuz
Splitting hairs feels just like your parents
I changed the subject to make fun of the art kids
‘Cuz we’re not like them, we didn’t go to college
Is that all I have?
What the hell is this?
Watch in a haze as you walk
To the station through the fog
You were right, I’m always wrong
I cannot be what you want
I cannot be what you want
I fell unintended, no sleight of hand
But you’re a good magician
You left me levitating in the static
Now you’re pulling tapes out of the attic
Watch in a haze as you walk
To the station through the fog
You were right, I’m always wrong
I cannot be what you want
I cannot be what you want
I cannot be what you want

Saddle
03:00
|
|||
Writhe on the floor realizing everything is finite
No matter how much you beg, even good dogs do die
Uh huh
Payin’ my debt to everyone i love
Ok well, who decided this is the way that I live?
Loose reins, there is no saddle
No more than I can handle
Uh huh
Drivin’ my car thinkin’ I had it all in my pocket
Goin over the same conversations goin nowhere
Uh huh
Payin’ my debt to everyone I love
Ok well, who decided this is the way that I live?
Loose reins there is no saddle
No more than I can handle
Uh huh

Freak Accident
04:26
|
|||
Givin’ out presents but nothin’ for me
Bearing the brunt of the least liked sibling
Passin’ the shame like an unlit torch
I’m not sure I can take it
You made me my worst
Tracing the patterns
Connecting the dots
A long rigid line on the back of your arm
Holdin’ my head up against your words
Testing the pressure but I’m gonna burst
Veering the canyon, I took a wrong turn
Squint through the dark
Looks like I’m gonna burn
Up in the headlights
Brace for impact
Out on the road and I’m not coming back
I’m a freak accident head on collision just waiting to happen
I’m a freak accident head on collision just waiting to happen
I’m a freak accident head on collision just waiting to happen
I’m a freak accident head on collision just waiting to happen
I’m a freak accident head on collision just waiting to happen
I’m a freak accident head on collision just waiting to happen
I’m a freak accident head on collision just waiting to happen
I’m a freak accident head on collision just waiting to happen
I’m a freak accident head on collision just waiting to happen
I’m a freak accident head on collision just waiting to happen

W Arms Wide Open
02:22
|
|||
They’re feeding you poison again
But you’re still a good little kid
Sayin’ that they must’ve had good intentions
So we steep in the anger a while
Flicking the ash in a pile
Jokin’ that this isn’t much different
I’d do almost anything for you
I’d do almost anything for you
I’d do almost anything
‘Cuz you’ve always been a good friend
You scream with me into the wind
Listening to “with arms wide open”
I’d do almost anything for you
I’d do almost anything for you
I’d do almost anything for you
I’d do almost anything for you
We always call when we can
But no amount of time passed
Could ever change the way that I love you

Beth
04:17
|

Beth is collecting up her treasures
Stacking them high along the walls of the farmhouse
Each a symbol of what was taken
When she was just a kid that man was so sadistic
They say it started with the death of Lennon
But the memories get passed through generation
And she doesn’t know how to drown them out
I know this feeling isn’t nameless
Pulling at the words that grief effaces
You can’t sound them out
But I could hold you now if you show me how
Bobby’s setting fire in the pasture
Trying his best to carve his way back to her
Watching the smoke she spins out slowly
Saying “those were my things, my only things, I loved them”
And he doesn’t know how to fix it now
I know this feeling isn’t nameless
Pulling at the words that grief effaces
You can’t sound them out
But I could hold you now if you show me how
Janie’s crying in the backseat
And I wonder if she knows those little parts of me
She says this pain isn’t only mine
Now that I know I’ll protect you I’ll cut all those lines
But I don’t know how I could have let you down

Feeling Meaning
01:03
|
|||
You don’t have to give it meaning
Just lay into the feeling
Someday it’s all gonna be
Water under something
That you just can’t see
But you’re caught up spinning
A tender little fantasy
In the grief of wanting
In the hopes of longing
But you don’t have to give it meaning
Just lay into the feeling

Careful Heart
04:07
|
|||
Crying to your favorite song
With my suitcase on the floor
But your light’s worth waiting for
True and eudaemonic love
When my cup feels so empty
Lean into your empathy
Do you want to build a little life with me
Do you want to build a little life with me
Build a little life with me
Listened to the passing cars
Watched your eyes change in the dawn
Feeling centered feeling calm
Do you want to build a little life with me
I do want to build a little life with you
Do you want to build a little life with me
I do want to build a little life with you
Build a little life with you
Build a little life with you
Talking with a careful heart
Baby there’s nothin’ to prove
Nico, I believe in you
Do you want to build a little life with me
I do want to build a little life with you
Do you want to build a little life with me
I do want to build a little life with you
Build a little life with you
Build a little life with you
(I do believe in you)
(I do believe in you)
Build a little life with you
