I Want

All the pretty houses
I will never live in
Maybe it’s enough to just witness them
Water on the night stand
Tracing with your right hand
Maybe it’s enough to just be your friend
No city no town
No high no comedown
Takes me far enough
I want the music real loud
I want the takeout on the couch
I want your tongue inside my mouth
I want my flame to never run out
I want my shoes wearing thin
I want more freckles on my skin
I want the bruises on my shin
I want it all again again again
Running in the wet grass
Basket full of eggs cracked
Maybe it’s enough to just be here now
I wanna crawl out my skin
Give me more of the medicine
Drown it out on the freeway
Guess I’ll do it all the hard way
No city no town
Can take me far enough
I want the music real loud
I want the takeout on the couch
I want your tongue inside my mouth
I want my flame to never run out
I want my shoes wearing thin
I want more freckles on my skin
I want the bruises on my shin
I want it all again again again
It's not enough
No it's never enough
No no
It's not enough
No it's never enough
No no
It's not enough
No it's never enough
No no
It's not enough
No it's never enough
No no
It's not enough
No it's never enough
No no
It's not enough
No it's never enough
No no
It's not enough
No it's never enough
No no

Amor
03:01

Sometimes I wish that I was still with you
But I don’t think that’s actually true
I just miss not feeling blue
I miss having someone who knew
Who knew
Who knew
I miss having someone who knew
Quiero amor
I’ve just been so bored
Tengo un dolor
En mi corazón
Come late night, wonder what you’re up to
All my friends might kill me if I do
No quiero tu amor
I’ve just been so bored
I met someone who didn’t care to ask
A single thing about my life or past
I wanna laugh til my face turns blue
I wanna cry over something new
Who knew
Who knew
I miss having someone who knew
Quiero amor
I’ve just been so bored
Tengo un dolor
En mi corazón
Come late night, wonder what you’re up to
All my friends might kill me if I do
No quiero tu amor
I’ve just been so bored
Who knew
Who knew
I miss having someone who knew
Who knew
Who knew
I miss having someone who knew
Who knew
Who knew
I miss having someone who knew
Quiero amor
I’ve just been so bored
Tengo un dolor
En mi corazón
Come late night, wonder what you’re up to
All my friends might kill me if I do
No quiero tu amor
I’ve just been so bored

Party Tricks

Come, if you want
We’ll have dinner on the floor
Of my new apartment
I wanna impress you
Open the box
You’ll see inside a letter
I kept from you to me
Yeah I’m sentimental
What’s happening
(I don’t know but)
I thought I would lean into it
(Into it)
It’s just a dream
(A dream)
But I think it could really be
Really be
Show you a new song that I wrote
With shaking hands because
You make me kinda nervous
Send me the address
I’ll be there a little late
Cuz all my friends were
Giving me courage
What’s happening
(I don’t know but)
I thought I would lean into it
(Into it)
It’s just a dream
(A dream)
But I think it could really be
Really be
Come if you want
To bring your friends
Show all my party tricks
I just wanna impress you
I knew when I met you
I had a feeling
Maybe one day
That we could do this
(Do this)
What’s happening
(I don’t know but)
I thought I would lean into it
(Into it)
It’s just a dream
(A dream)
But I think it could really be
Really be

Read Between
03:08

I don’t know why
I don’t believe
When you show me who you are
Who you are
You laid it all out
Still I have doubts
Why’ve I gotta make it hard?
It’s not that hard
To read between
Mmhmm
To read between
Shake the rain off
You’ll be dry by
Morning time there’s the light
There’s the light
It gets so hot in the summer
All you can do to pass the time
Is sit inside the movie theatre
And try not to lose your mind
Too much time on my hands
Maybe that’s why they feel heavy
When I try
When I try
When I try
To read between
Uh huh
To read between
Uh huh
I don’t wanna stop
No it’s not my fault
You didn’t let me in
When I made that call
I don’t wanna stop
No it’s not my fault
I got love to give
And you took it all
Mmhmm
I don’t know why
I don’t believe
When you show me who you are
Who you are
You laid it all out
Still I have doubts
Why’ve I gotta make it hard
It’s not that hard
To read between
Uh huh
To read between

Hindsight
02:31
|
|||
|
Why do I do it to myself?
Looking back the hindsight’s a killer
But if there’s nothing else
At least I know it well
I made a habit of it
Begging for scraps when I deserve better
Rather be on my own
Than in the stop and go
Learning how to let it be
If you can’t give me what I need
I won’t spend the energy
I won’t spend it
Longing for the in between
Learning how to let it be
I won’t spend the energy
Is it all fantasy?
Where would you be if none of it mattered?
When all the beauty fades?
If I never make a name?
It’s just like clockwork every time
Asking you and I know the answer
And if you get it wrong
I’ll be right all along
Learning how to let it be
If you can’t give me what I need
I won’t spend the energy
I won’t spend it
Longing for the in between
Learning how to let it be
I won’t spend the energy
I won’t spend it

Look It Up
03:05
|

|
Huh huh huh huh
Huh huh
Huh huh huh huh
Huh huh
I don’t wanna talk
If it means I’m gonna cry
Told you once before
That it happens all the time
Know you want the best
And I want that too
Doesn’t always mean
It’s the best for
You said I move too much with the tides
Think you just wanna be right
Huh huh huh huh
Huh huh
If you have to look it up
It’s probably not love
If you have to give it up
It’s probably not yours
Yours
Got a lot of history
That you wanna re-write
Did you mean to do that
Or was it an oversight
Know you want the best
But I want the truth
Doesn’t always mean
That you get choose
This time I don’t wanna fight
If you have to look it up
It’s probably not love
If you have to give it up
It’s probably not
Wanna say that I don’t care
Truth is that I care too much
There are answers everywhere
That I could just look up
If you have to look it up
It’s probably not love
If you have to give it up
It’s probably not yours
If you have to look it up
It’s probably not love
If you have to give it up
It’s probably not yours
Yours

Only Want You
02:37

I’m living the seasons out on the road
Wish I had a reason to let it go
But I don’t
No I don’t
Maybe it’s more fun to leave it as is
Never say a word and then wish that we did
But we don’t
No no we don’t
I only want you
I only want you
I only want you
And I’m scared if that’s true
That I’ll break my own heart
Before you even get to
Spin me around in the palm of your hand
I’d dance in circles to make you my man
And it’s bad
I know that it’s bad
Lucky to know you and laugh like we do
Lucky to know that you’re feeling it too
But we can’t
Oh no we can’t
I only want you
I only want you
I only want you
And I’m scared if that’s true
That I’ll break my own heart
Before you even get to
I only want you
I only want you
I only want you
And I’m scared if that’s true
That I’ll break my own heart
Before you even get to
I’ll break my own heart
Before you even get to
I’ll break my own heart
Before you even get to

Fresh Start
03:30
|

|
Huh huh
Huh huh
I’m just so sorry I’ve been acting strange
You know sometimes I get that way
Been feeling like I’m in a different state
But I know I’m still in LA
I don’t wanna miss out
We used to be so close
(Used to be so close)
You could stay at my house
(My house)
And I’ll give you the good pillow
Didn’t even think that it’d be this hard
I know I’ve been due for a fresh start
I keep tryna skip to the easy parts
I know that I’m due for a fresh start
Huh huh
Huh huh
It’s kinda crazy that it’s been three years
And how it all fits in this car
Went on a bender to avoid the tears
Yeah meet me here I’m at the bar
I don’t wanna trouble you
(Ah ah ah)
But I could really use some help
(Ah ah ah)
Sleeping in until noon
(Ah ah ah)
And I wake up in a dizzy spell
Didn’t even think that it’d be this hard
I know I’ve been due for a fresh start
I keep tryna skip to the easy parts
I know that I’m due for a fresh start
Huh huh
Huh huh
Just when I thought I would be stuck
You bring me flowers
Pull me out of the rut
I never knew that I’d see the light
But you come around
With the silver lining
(Ah ah ah)
(Ah ah ah)
(Ah ah ah)
(Ah ah ah)
Didn’t even think that it’d be this hard
(No I don't wanna miss out)
I know I’ve been due for a fresh start
(Just wanna have you around)
I keep tryna skip to the easy part
(No I don't wanna miss out)
I know that I’m due for a fresh start
(Huh huh huh huh)

It’s a good feeling outside
Everyone’s riding their bikes
And you got money in your pocket
You know who you look like?
The girl from that one show
Yeah I get that but no
And I never saw it
It's been too many weeks
And now I oversleep
But if you would ask me
I’d never be honest
What do you want me to say?
I still think about it
Even if the skies weren't gray
I'd still doubt it
I'd still doubt it
I still doubt it
Keepin' good news to myself
It’s not on purpose
I just forget who I tell
And now you’re upset
I wish that you had been there
I wish I could forget and not care
Cuz you're good now
But I'm still scared
I'm still scared
It's been too many weeks
And now I oversleep
But if you would ask me
I’d never be honest
What do you want me to say?
I still think about it
Even if the skies weren't gray
I'd still doubt it
What do you want me to say?
I still think about it
Even if the skies weren't gray
I'd still doubt it
I'd still doubt it
(I'd still doubt it)
(I'd still doubt it)
(I'd still doubt it)
(I'd still doubt it)
What do you want me to say?
Even if the skies weren't gray

Holy Grail
03:06
|

|
I played a few songs to a wall of sound
Felt it in the back of my throat
If I say it out loud it makes it real now
So I’ll write it down in this note
Learning to dance in the rain
Even if it starts to hail
Drinking champagne from a plastic cup
And stealing the hotel shampoo
I miss whatever I thought this was
Everyone’s hair is so blue
Learning to dance in the rain
Even if it starts to hail
Just do whatever it takes
To get to the holy grail
God I never felt so small
My feet don’t touch the ground
I’m a kid in a trench coat
But I’m gonna fool you all
Learning to dance in the rain
Even if it starts to hail
Just do whatever it takes
To get to the holy grail
To get to the holy grail

Parachute
02:59
|

|
I made a list of all the things
I wanna do when I find you
Jump out a plane
And feel the wind in my hair
And my parachute
I know what I’m looking for
I just gotta look some more
I know what I’m looking for
I just gotta look some more
To find it
To find it
You wanna see my light
I turn it on
And I’m turned on by you
And when the party’s over
We can dance around the living room
Uh huh
I know what I’m looking for
I just gotta look some more
I know what I’m looking for
I just gotta look some more
To find it
To find it
To find it
To find it
It’s hard to see it
From outside my perspective
It’s hard to keep it
Feeling optimistic
It’s hard to see it
From outside my perspective
It’s hard to keep it
Feeling optimistic
I know what I’m looking for
I just gotta look some more
I know what I’m looking for
I just gotta look some more
To find it
(I know what, I know what)
To find it
(I know what, I know what)
To find it
(I know what, I know what)
To find it
(I know what, I know what)
