DON'T GIVE ME YOUR LOVE Don't give me your car, I dunno what I'd do with your car You could give me the keys but I wouldn't get far Never learned to drive 'cause I caught the last train, far away from here I've never said a truthful word, but I could never lie I know you love me but I don't know why Don't give me your smile 'cause we'd be happy, for a while I'd get up after a day and say I don't know how to stay You could try and be so kind but that's precisely why I ran away I've never said a truthful word, but I could never lie I know you love me but I don't know why Don't give me your love, like a promise I will break it Don't give me your time, like a clock 'cause I won't make it Don't give me your hand, like a cure 'cause I can't take it Don't give me your love Don't give me a chance I don't wanna take your chance That's a wild flower I can feel it wither up in my hands Sit and wait forever for the sun, that's when the clouds come I've never said a truthful word, but I could never lie I know you love me but I don't know why Don't give me your love, like a promise I will break it Don't give me your time, like a clock 'cause I won't make it Don't give me your hand, like a cure 'cause I can't take it Don't give me your love Don't give me the chance to climb all the way to the higher branches Just to watch the tree come tumbling down There's no medication for the fever, you won't shake it Light the match and walk away from me

PICK ME UP Pick me up, I'm feeling down Got a bad case of the wrong ways goin' round Pick me up, let's run away I can't stand it here I know just the place Pick me up off the floor I can't see what's coming down no more Pick me up those ones I like I'll just take a few and I'll be fine I know it wasn't easy for you I know I left you feeling bad Screaming into an empty hallway Wondering 'where is my man' Hold my hand as I float away Can you hear when my voice breaks Run and hide - would you look for me Gone to stay - would you wait for me Dig me up when I die To show my bones to the man in the sky Pick me up now don't you cry I'm gonna tell them all how hard you tried Just bring me up once in a while I'm gonna be your dream and make you smile We never made it but we could pretend So just wake me up before the end I know it wasn't easy for you I know I left you feeling bad Screaming into an empty hallway Wondering 'where is my man' Hold my hand as I float away Can you hear when my voice breaks Run and hide - would you look for me Gone to stay - would you wait for me

IT DOESN'T TAKE A LOT It doesn't take a lot to not impress me anymore Give me the benefit of all your doubts so I can spend them Take a lot, it doesn't take a lot The amount of care that I don't is never-ending 'I'm so happy for you' I said but I was just pretending Take a lot, it doesn't take a lot It must be nice to never think twice, it must be nice I feel everything at once and it's still not enough I took so many wrong turns so I could run away from you Take a lot, it doesn't take a lot I gotta figure out if I'm being hard or hardly being You say I disappear but you cheated on yourself with me Take a lot, it doesn't take a lot It must be nice to never think twice, it must be nice I just see what's in front of me, just give me a lobotomy I'll just find the normal amount and care that much so you won't find out

LET'S DO A HIT Let's do a hit so we don't feel like shit when we get out of bed in the morning Gonna chance that high for the rest of our lives Won't ever feel as good as the first time I'm never gonna go to space but when it hits it feels that way I'm never gonna come back down got stuck inside those fluffy clouds Please book me the room - gotta get this shit out of my head If I don't do it soon I'm gonna die When you think you can't take no more - all these hits spill out onto the floor Then someone runs off with your insides Let's do a hit so we don't feel like shit when we get out of bed in the morning Gonna chance that high for the rest of our lives Won't ever feel as good as the first time Spent the rent to get some gear, making sounds no one will ever hear I can't survive on what they left, everybody wants their ten percent I wasted so much time trying to cut the perfect line There ain't enough, we won't all get some I don't feel safe, hits take me to a strange place But look at my face: I would kill you for another one Living this cold can't be good for the soul But I don't know who I'd be without the bad times Running after my dreams, living beyond my means Wondering how to scrounge up for the next one Living this life will bleed you dry, they wanna take everything that you cherish All my friends moved on, now they just listen to songs Leaving suckers like me left to make them Sink into the floor, I don't care anymore, I wanna see all the way to the bottom Let's do a hit so it won't feel like shit when we get out of bed in the morning

I DON'T WANNA BE PERCEIVED I don't wanna be perceived, I wanna leave I saw a stranger looking at me I had to close my eyes and breath Remind myself that it wasn't real You found me hiding in the walls, I could hear People asking if I disappeared I promise you that we can look back and laugh from a hundred miles away in a cab So we get back and you ask if I had fun and I just laughed Like feeling safe was a cake, or some wine that someone brought so we could all try I don't wanna be received, like a call Hang me up so I don't fall There's someone else on the line, but it's fine Can't live without a compromise I hear them underneath the floor, behind every door They know how much I've got but they want more Let me go to bed and try to forget The calls are coming from inside my head I Don't want a body, I don't want a face I'm down in the lobby, running away There's nothing behind me if I don't look back But I can still hear you calling my name I don't wanna be confused anymore, I thought I was good but now I'm not so sure I don't wanna be seen, I'm too afraid you won't like where my heads been They way you look at me I knew you could see all the trap doors inside me You whispered into my ear 'hold my hand and let's get the fuck out of here' So baby turn the lights down low, so we can look but we won't know You asked me to stay but you went away, I can't be scared if I don't care I Don't want a body, I don't want a face I'm down in the lobby, running away There's nothing behind me if I don't look back But I can still hear you calling my name I was waiting for you to break the seal between the things I do and the way I feel Find the beginning, let's start again - open the door, there's room for one more

TARA We woke up late and you had to run I lived far away so I stayed there to watch you leave I couldn't know if I'd see you again In my head we've lived a life together since then When it's time to go I'm the last to know Stuck around too long and found out that you moved on, oh no Doves came and kept you awake So I called a crow to make them find some other place We saw the full moon, in the afternoon I pulled down a slice and put it on your keychain Life is wild so don't live wide Find the friends you need to make it though your own time Tara Every love song has a you and me But as far as I can tell it's just me singing to myself Still under your spell, but I can't tell If I ever left your bed or if I died there, you know She knows where the wind goes She's a rainbow I just watch her through the window Tara Sometimes I try to find you in the places that I know that you'd never go

EVERYBODY LEAVES I've had luck in love and my share of pain I've been held so close and I've been afraid In an empty room where the bed's gone cold I felt my roots reach down for a sorrow to hold I felt all the love that I ever sent away I turned my back and ran and it didn't chase I know it hurts to wait and have nothing come But when I got what I wanted it felt the same You can hope for a flame or the rain, it doesn't matter what you believe You try and make them stay but it just drives them away because Everybody leaves In a dry place stood a lonely tree Where in our time of need we'd all come to be Nested in the branch, shaded under leaf We grew under the bark and we ate the seed Under the sunshine, arms raised, praying for rain Then a storm let down to nourish the plain I looked back where you stood through a green braid We had moved on with our lives but the tree stayed You can hope for a flame or the rain, it doesn't matter what you believe You try and make them stay but it just drives them away because Everybody leaves In the room where I left you, planting tulips on the moon You told me not to cry, it doesn't matter why I've got a pocket full of time so I'll keep trying Everybody leaves

THINK ABOUT MY BED Cut me off a lemon slice with some ice that might be nice Drizzle honey on some bread, hide the crumbs under my bed I don't want the world to see the secrets I hide in my sheets Think about the ways that I could have a better time, a better life Instead I'll think about my bed Think about the times I never had 'cause I was living in my head Alone just laying on my bed You called and said to get dressed 'Don't you wanna see the sunset' It's getting late can't dinner wait I'm not done waking up yet I know I know - you know a place We could go there on a date Ring the doorbell, go away Try again some other day I don't want you to discover the way I live under the covers Think about the ways that I could have a better time, a better life Instead I'll think about my bed Think about the times I never had 'cause I was living in my head Alone just laying on my bed

I CAN FEEL IT GETTING STRONGER Dreams only come to me when I need them Every other night is clear, I just can't see them I get out of bed and feel mislead I tell myself to be happy but I'm down instead Float through life with nothing much to say Follow my mystified to the edge of the day Trouble waits for me in the bad place There's no one looking out for me so I don't wait There's a place I go, the one place I really know It's been so long down here, I can't tell what's real anymore Let me drown so I can breath, let me scream so I can hear Keep your good time away from me The amount of careless things I've done would make your head spin I wanna connect but I'm not plugged in I've been trying to forget what kind of man I've been So when I see black clouds I jump right in You said the sun never sets, it just sets for you You get to feel the way that you want to That is the dumbest shit that I've ever heard You don't get to sing that song if you don't know the words There's a place I go, the one place I really know It's been so long down here, I can't tell what's real anymore Let me drown so I can breath, let me scream so I can hear Keep your good time away from me I can feel it getting stronger, I can feel it taking longer I can see you running further away It's all the same but I don't blame you I would let you break my heart in two If you swore that you'd find something inside A silence so loud it holds me down, I can't speak I can't hear you cry, I can't hear you leave and that's why I can't be the one you need, I can't feel the good you feel There's a bad place waiting for me

LIFE ON A STRING When I'm feeling ok I'll take my time and write a couple of lines a day I never could quite tell where I belonged, found out who I was by writing songs Sitting around feeling lazy, wondering how I got this crazy Late at night and I'm still awake, pulling strings until they break Turn up my guitar man, I can't sing What am I doing here Taking a chance, playing pretend, living my life on a string Running around, waiting for wisdom, only going to places where there is none I got a real bad temperament, but when I play it long it pays the rent On a bus then on a plane, you planted roots and I'm running away Late at night and I'm still awake, pulling strings until they break Life on a string, I can go anywhere I please Home in a bottle, throw me in the big sea Sirens singing as far as I can see But I carry a message only you can read Turn up my guitar man, I can't sing What am I doing here Taking a chance, playing pretend, living my life on a string I don't got a union, or a pension, don't got a dental plan Don't got a future, it came too fast I got too much time on my hands It's all part of life's rich pageant, you don't got nothing until you've had it Late at night and I'm still awake, pulling strings until they break

COMET We met on our way to the afterlife You were the brightest light and I was made of ice We couldn't breath inside but you flashed a smile I tucked you in at the park under twilight My oh my look up into the sky, full of jewels we can never have Let's run away, we can still try to make life on earth as it is in heaven Darling we didn't meet on the right night I was covered in dust from a past life You came in strange at an angle through time Like an angel sent for some other guy My oh my would you look at the time, see how it flies to catch you Stay up late never let me go, or we could always come back tomorrow You can't see me but I'm here Waited for a thousand light years Never gonna come back down No matter how long you hang around You said let's stay up late and try to see it again If it don't come around we can just pretend You fell asleep, I could tell from your breathing Once you see the light it's already leaving Take me tight for a little while before it's gone forever Don't try to hold a star in your hand because you will get burned You can't see me but I'm here Waited for a thousand light years Never gonna come back down No matter how long you hang around
