Don't Forget Me
04:41
|

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

Walk by the Water
03:25
|
|||
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

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

After the Ballet
02:50
|

its fine just call me a car
turns out i don’t live that far
from here
doesn’t it seem weird
there's icicles blocking my heart
we should just stop here before we start
my apologies
stumbling half drunk to my room
it’s fine I’m moving out soon

You Already Know
03:09
|

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

Depression Nap
04:57
|

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

Fine Little Line
03:44
|
|||
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

Where You Are
05:40
|
|||
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
