SHOOT YOU IN THE HEAD
03:46
|
|||
I can remember what went wrong
It didn’t hit me till now
Why am I lying on the phone?
I couldn’t let you know
I’m gonna shoot you in the head
Lost in the moment, there it was
You try the best that you can
You shoulda figured out what it’s all about, they don’t understand
I’m gonna let you know
When I shoot you in the head

TO LISTEN IN
03:01
|
|||
I don’t wanna say that I know everything
I don’t wanna think about anything really right now
Coming at it different almost every day
I wouldn’t wanna do it any differently right now
But I’ve always known something was a coming
And I’ve always known it would feel a little funny
I see it now
Effectively afraid to listen in
When I find all the answers I will run back home
What can make me think I’m getting closer babe
I can’t even think about everything that I’m doing now
Save it to consider it another day
I’m still tryna get a grasp on what has happened since I moved out
I don’t know what I can write now
I don’t wanna see you suffering
I don’t wanna see you go down
I don’t wanna be over it
And I’ve always known something was a coming
And I’ve always known it would feel a little funny
I see it now
Effectively afraid to listen in
When I find all the answers I will run back home
I feel it now
Effectively afraid to listen in
When I confront the answers I will run back home

IN LOVE WITH THE SOUND
03:09
|
|||
Enter reality, who is in charge now
I couldn’t bare to see everything falling down
Questioning all of it, doin alright though
Hella catastrophes, instead of reacting go
Talking ‘bout how you have it under control and
I’m in love with the sound
It’s bringing me down
But I don’t care
Sitting for hours, my head under shoulders
Trynna alleviate, albeit never works
How am I influenced by my perception
‘Cause when I look left I see the right direction
Talking bout how you have it under control and
I’m in love with the sound
It’s bringing me down
But I don’t care
I wanna hear it when it all comes out
I’ll be waiting right here taking all of my time
I’m in love with the sound
It’s bringing me down
But I don’t care

TAKE A MINUTE
02:39
|
|||
I hear just what you’re saying
I promise I won’t forget about it
I see the struggle you’re facing
And I know I don’t know what I’m even doing
Beneath all of the layers
Pass by, each night another something
It took too much to get here
Gotta recommend to take a minute
Take a little time away
Sounds like you need it
You need it
Spent years needing a reason
Believing nothing could ever happen
Slow rise, how high the vision
And I know and I know that I gotta chase it
Just need that reassurance
Somehow, some way to keep on going
Ignore bad intuition
And continue not to think about it
Take a little time away
Sounds like you need it
You need it

RIGHT NOW
04:11
|
|||
I’m feeling quite a lot let down
Like no one else is helping out
Can never seem to get away
But never really fought back
You try to stay in tune with that
Or barely faking till persuasion of
You tryna raise your self esteem
But everyone digs into me
I never really fought back
Say the words to me I know that
So now I’m driving down the highway
Am I ever gonna fight back?
I just gotta try to slow down and help myself out
It’s just like how I’m tryna navigate the middle of a crisis
I can’t wait to turn around
It’s just the way I feel right now
It could’ve never been this way
It’s easier to think about
We would’ve made it to the bay
I never woulda called that
I’m better off alone in here
I feel it coming on so strong
I wanna make the vision clear
So so listen in and drift along
I never really fought back
Say the words to me I know that
So now I’m driving down the highway
Am I ever gonna fight back?
I just gotta try to slow down and help myself out
It’s just like how I’m tryna navigate the middle of a crisis
I can’t wait to turn around
It’s just the way I feel right now
It’s just the way I feel right now

YOU'RE MY KIND
03:34
|
|||
Gotta make up my mind
It’s hard enough
But it’s fine, oh quite alright
Gotta get what’s in outside
So marvelous
What I do to save my pride
Even though I know it’s not my fault
I wanna keep trying to move it on
I’m not gonna waste my time just faking to cover up
With you right by my side, it’s obvious
I’m alive
Baby you’re my kind
When I feel you I can see I’m falling
Baby you’re alright
I don’t want to want to forget you darlin’
Gotta think of other lines
So harsh to judge
I could fight for all my life
What does it imply
It’s ominous
But I swear it will be fine
Why do I struggle to tell the truth I wanna be honest with you
Won’t ever be so fake with each other
Never hurts to try
I’ll follow up when it’s right
Baby you’re my kind
When I feel you I can see I’m falling
Baby you’re alright
I don’t want to want to forget you darlin’
Watching closely, never fading out
Just like my love for you
Baby you’re my kind
When I feel you I can see I’m falling
Baby you’re alright
I don’t want to want to forget you darlin’

GOLDN
03:35
|
|||
Waiting around for myself now
Days in and out, tryna somehow grow
It’s not as simple as we have been told, oh
I’m lazing about for a reason
A face in the crowd, while the seasons go
Outside my house, oh
It’s nothing - I didn’t even notice
It got so cold here and now I’m frozen
Wish I could wake up then, open my eyes and
Everything’s golden
I’m patient enough to resent it
There’s grace in the love that I’m lending out
I’ll share what I have found
I’m waiting around for myself now
Daze in and out, let the sunlight go
Until it shows, oh
It’s nothing - I didn’t even notice
It got so cold here and now I’m frozen
Wish I could wake up then, open my eyes and
Everything’s golden
Waiting for the hope to happen
Let it go
Really need to let some light in
Just like gold
It never comes

NYC
04:16
|
|||
Once in a while I get out and I’m all over you
Walking about tryna bask in repulsive perfumes
I should’ve figure by now how to get along
I wish I could’ve found out before I was gone
Hallowing memories remembered but never just right
Hopping the gates at the train to get to the east side
I tried to call and fill you in
I couldn’t find you all night
But I won’t give in to the light
I should’ve figured by now how to get along
I wish I could’ve found out before I was gone
Once in a while you will break
And start falling apart and you wait
And you’re shocked
When the taste gets to bitter and brown
Then it’s gone

DESPERATE
03:38
|
|||
Desperate callin’
Repaint the blue walls
Set somewhere that you and I know
It takes some patience
Seeing what you’re saying
Complexity so vexing and
I can see you
Struggling with pain inside your innocence
Despite all of the love you give me
Oh my beanie
Can you hear crying
Way across the driftless
Out somewhere that only I know
Ain’t it some drama
Tears me apart love
I never came close to helping but
I can see you
Struggling with pain inside your innocence
Despite all of the love you give me
Oh my beanie
I never could break the cycle
It’s impossible
To find a way
Just try to move on now cause I’m done
I can see you
Struggling with pain inside your innocence
Despite all of the love you give me
Oh my beanie

SAME MOVIE
04:05
|
|||
Spent all day with the same movie playing in my head
Repeat threefold till it’s over and my
Time’s slipping its the best way out from the real life pressure on and on no doubt
It’s tough wishing for a change so late
Gotta make another dime gotta die another day
But it’s ok in the present made up of your past intention gotta make more love
Spent all day kinda stuck in the past
Kept a record playing tryna make it all last but I’m
Set back it's the way it goes
So typical you don't know what I'm really thinking and it’s
So clear that I won’t stay gotta say so long gotta do another thing
But you’re way out in the present made up of your past decisions gotta make more fun
But if you don’t forget about my heart
I would never let you go but we don’t really know forever
If you don’t forget about my heart
I would never let you go but we don’t really know forever
And if you wanna get around and go far
I could always let you and we could try to ride together
It comes and goes and
One day you will notice
It’s not irregular
I see the comfort in not really going outside
You know it ain’t good but
I think it’s a matter of movement to keep us alive
But if you don’t forget about my heart
I would never let you go but we don’t really know forever
And if you wanna get around and go far
I could always let you and we could try to ride together
It comes and goes and
One day you will notice
It’s not irregular
