I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need proof We can get married on my roof Invite all the drunks from the neighborhood bar Sharpie our vows on the back of my car I love you, I love you child of water Don’t forget me, Don’t forget I’m someone’s daughter I don’t need fortune, I don’t need fame I just wanna hear you saying my name Drinking straight whiskey in the swaying grass Lighting up ants with a magnified glass I love you, I love you, ice on my blister Don’t forget me, Don’t forget I’m someone’s sister Lay me down easy, sing me asleep Let the water bubble, let the tea steep I can be patient, I can be kind Just tell me again how I’m yours and you’re mine I love you, I love you child so free Come September, oh baby don’t forget me

Checking In 03:29
I’m not sure you fit into my plans for the rest of my life You’re not sure I fit into your plans for the rest of the weekend But I’ve set aside time Friday night after I leave Manhattan And I’d love to see your face before you go off the deep end I’m treading so lightly, I know it’s a futile sin Just thought that tonight might be the night that you let me in I’ll do all the things that you do on your living room table It makes you less mean though it certainly makes you less stable I’m just checking in Do you hate that I do this I’m trying so hard But it’s still so confusing I wish that you’d tell me Just what you would like me to do Cuz I still want you how do you live with yourself knowing full well that I would cross oceans for you while you watch from inside it needs to be said that I love you despite my best efforts digging around in my pockets for cash as we’re walking toward Bedford Kiss me once just to make it all better Kiss me once just to make it all better Don’t be mad if I borrow your sweater Kiss me once and I’ll try to do better We had planned on a summer of working on our own creations But you found out my lips are the best procrastination You lie by omission but I know the truth of the matter Entice me with silence and watch as my little heart shatters

my baby likes a good walk by the water my baby buys t shirts for two and a quarter my baby likes music the best when its free my baby loves dancing but he don’t love me my baby likes a good self induced coma my baby gets stressed when he goes to the moma my baby likes girls that don’t smile with their teeth my baby loves loving but he don’t love me I’m a dog on a chain I’m a fool in the rain I can see this whole thing panning out like it could it’s not good no it’s not good my baby likes to see blood on the sidewalk my baby shakes when he’s asked to make small talk my baby likes gin with his afternoon tea my baby loves dying but he don’t love me and its high time that I leave him one more time and its high time that I’m breathing, I’ll be fine

Lenny 03:30
My true love he came to me, riding on a western breeze Brought lake eerie to her knees, hallelujah Summer love it smelled like mints, and a brand new pack of parliaments He touched my back and had me spent, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah How could I have seen it all go wrong Circling the block just to finish a song Would have driven I-80 ten thousand times For a chance to see you crack one of those smiles The sheets were hot in that unmade bed, so we wrapped ourselves in songs instead Lines were drawn and the way was read, hallelujah Summer sun bleeds into fall, little bugs climbing up our walls I don’t miss you, not at all Hallelujah Hallelujah

I don’t wanna leave new york, I don’t wanna go to sleep just yet Sent in all my paperwork, Found another drifter to occupy my bed I don’t want you but, I might need you to Stay up till I decide to go But you already know I don’t wanna misconstrue, I don’t wanna make this something else I just want a friend like you, Another restless kid who can’t sleep so well I feel lonely but, You’ve always known me and I decided long ago But you already know Maybe I should stay another night find another flight Put my money on another fight Maybe I should catch another train, look at all the rain Doesn’t do me any good to complain but I don’t wanna pack my things, I don’t wanna fall for california yet I like the way the cold air stings, I had just started to like it here and then I should be grateful but I feel unstable anyways I’ll call you when I’m safely home But you already know

You can taste the lithium in the water here Metallic skies leave me anesthetized, I’ve never seen so clear You can bike just over an hour to the beach they say Just give your Monday to the highway break your legs to prove you didn’t waste the day I clench my fists, I’m burning out So this is what the boys would always talk about I bomb that hill, I’m moving on I didn’t like the way it felt just waiting on your lawn This apartment is a whole lot bigger than I really need The fridge is empty, bed is messy, but the kitchen floor is clean You can call a friend from home on the way to work, I know Laugh a little, noncommittal, they’ll send a picture of the snow I grip the wheel, I’m doing fine Try to remember than the cleanliness is by design I-I bare my teeth, I’m pushing through I just didn’t think the person that was calling would be you The amaranth grows steady in the sidewalk cracks I see a difference in resilience as the sweat drips down my back It always feels a little strange to have a dessert by the sea I disassociate to places in my head that I'd maybe rather be

first impression was she looks pretty searched a while in this whole damn city but he’d never seen a smile like that before he starts to thinking that he’ll get through this some time with her just to heal his bruises but that can’t be the way out anymore well aint love just a fine little line this time first of april and he had nothing the faint beat of his heart still drumming as he was stacking quarters on the floor the first of may and he came out swinging he tried to scream but he came out singing a song a day now who could ask for more well aint life just a fine little line this time and it hurts sometimes to breathe and I’m feeling like I should leave and the heaviest thing I own is my dirty clothes when the sun goes down who knows the first of many was one day better a saturday with the perfect weather a few deep breaths a couple hours free he took a bus to the west side highway saw the smoke rising off new jersey and closed one eye to touch the GWB well aint home just a fine little line this time Starts to feelin we’ll all be alright in time

I'm Tired 05:13
I’m back in the neighborhood and crawl up to their bedroom Hot thing on the rooftop looking happier than i’m used to My mama’s got a new dog My daddy’s got a new god I’m tired Don’t touch me I’m covered in sweat I’m sorry I love you I’m not done yet Hot song on the speakers in his daddy’s giant mansion a different generation I don’t recognize the anthem My baby’s getting older We used to own the whole world I’m tired Don’t blame me I’m drowning in debt I’m sorry I love you I’m not done yet Put the clicker down Do you wanna take a walk I can almost handle silence But I just wanna hear you talk Hot sun on my shoulders and it feels like it’s the end times They put a funny voice on and I smile for the first time I found a new apartment Oh god I wonder where the time went I’m tired Don’t leave me You’re still my best bet I love you I mean it I’m not done yet

you don't say much but a sigh on the long walk home sidewalk littered with plastic and styrofoam We get to your door you ask did you remember the key and before i can panic you hand it right back to me in your living room i grab my favorite guitar and i play her so sweetly the ghosts pardon who we are and we dance to a playlist you made for a different time when the lights at the club rivaled midtown at christmas time as the ocean overflows and the sun explodes we don’t have much in common but an area code but i will kiss you under skies that hold no stars i am scared but I’m where you are in the sun in the back we plant pansies for nobody’s eyes and through the neglect the sun chooses to sympathize they grow mighty and bright for a beautiful couple of days then perennially they will just as soon whither away as the sickness crashes in and the men always win we don’t have much in common but the mess we’re in but i will hold you under skies gone black with tar i am scared but I’m where you are you think like a robot you look like an alien and when you laugh at my jokes i fall head over heels again i am nobody baby and i hope that that’s okay cuz the two of us nobodies we can do nothing all day i am lonely every single day of my life and you sure don’t fix it but at least you don’t seem to mind as the ocean overflows and the sun explodes we don’t have much in common but an area code but i will kiss you under skies that hold no stars i am scared i am ugly i am free i am lonely i am everywhere i am only right where you are

about
