Less

When I first met you
I was still coming down
Ice cold and over it
With nothing more to lose
Nothing could have prepared
Me for how sweet
The way you'd interrupt a
Bad batch of years
After I (After I, after I)
Watch the way (Watch the way, watch the way)
How you give (How you give, how you give)
I feel less like them
Sometimes I'm distant
But you find a way
To rearrange my emptiness
And turn it into space
All these days inside
They become one sound
There's no ceiling to the
Echo of your love
After I (After I, after I)
Watch the way (Watch the way, watch the way)
How you give (How you give, how you give)
I feel less and less like them
Your warmth wraps around me
I can't get enough
Day after day
It's never too much
I almost forget
The way I'd sink away
Heavy and knowing
Lonely and floating

On the Outside
03:11
|
|||
Listening back
I had so much to say
To cover up the hurt
To find some sort of power in my words
If only I could accept, I
The way things were
The way they were left
Everything about me
Feels so strange
On the outside
On a different page
And there's no way
For me to actually be
Exactly how you
Choose to see me
Something about
Being locked away in the house
It's everyday going
On and on and on and on and on
Thinking about
Every last thing
Spending too much time in my head
I can't do anything
Everything about me
Feels so strange
On the outside
On a different page
And there's no way
For me to actually be
Exactly how you
Choose to see me
Listening back
I had so much to say
To cover up the hurt
It went on and on and on and on
Thinking about
Every last thing
Spending too much time
In my head again

Sunbeam
03:08
|
|||
As I flip the blinds
Open to the light
And my eyes begin to rest
On some average apartments
Sunbeam
On my face
A golden dream
To match its pace
The sidewalks are all hooded
In a way I can't achieve
And the neon of the supermarket
Leaves me feeling unseen
Sunbeam
On my face
A golden dream
To match its pace
Temperament, easy girl
Your need to run is
Not the answer
You cannot focus
But you've managed to rest
Take me far
I'm not about to lose it all
I'm not about to do what you want
I'm not about to lose it all
I'm not about to do what you want
I'm not about to lose it all
I'm not about to do what you want
I'm not about to lose it all
I'm not about to do what you want

Whatever You Need
03:07
|
|||
It's like talking to wall
Like listening to a TV
The sound of your own voice
Seems to soothe your need
For company
Every time you speak
You're waiting to reply
You dominate every conversation
And I barely make it out alive
And I'm so sick of you taking
Whatever you need
Why do I even expect
The best of you anyway
That's all I have to say
It's like jumping off a cliff
To drown out all your noise
But the minute we lock eyes
You absorb everything around you
Now that I'm awake
I know what I've seen
Your insecure nature led you to treat
Everyone as opportunities
And I'm so sick of you taking
Whatever you need
Why do I even expect
The best of you anyway
That's all I have to say
Picture me over the edge
And I'm rambling
Maybe I'm damn reserved
To say anything
Who am I to complain
I'm just at home feeling this way
Ignoring your texts
And coping by doing nothing
And I'm so sick of you taking
Whatever you need
Why do I even expect
The best of you anyway
That's all I have to say

Open Window
03:03
|
|||
When I leave this place
I'll be seeing you again
Maybe I'll run into you
Maybe you'll have children
What if we don't recognize
How long it's actually been?
In my memory you'll still stay
The way you always seemed to me
I can see us sitting at the
Edge of tomorrow
Feeling like an open window
You let me come and go
I can't even begin to
Thank you for the way
You carried my twenties
You carried all the weight
Can you recognize
All the times I disappeared
And I can't take it back
But I've held regret for years
I can see us sitting at the
Edge of tomorrow
Feeling like an open window
You let me come and go
I always loved the way the sun would
Peak around the homes
Knowing I could never afford
To not come and go

Ups / Downs
02:59
|
|||
All my stuff means nothing but
It must measure something
Collecting dust the clutter stays
A constant as I misbehave
All these ups and downs
I can't figure it out
All these ups and downs
As I walk my body moves
My gaze begins to hallow
Slowly I detach and find
I'm watching from the outside
Removed I sit right back
I can't piece a single word
Together, I melt into the
Chamber of passing time
Out of it I start walking
I don't know where I'm going
Anymore
Removed I sit right back
I can't piece a single word
Together, I melt into (Melt into passing time)
The chamber of passing time
Out of it (Out of it)
I don't know where I'm going
All these ups and downs
I can't figure it out
All these ups and downs

All I Can Do
02:51
|
|||
Can we talk about
How you choose
What you want to see?
Suddenly every movement
Throws us
Out of balance
What can we do
What can we say
If I fall short
Will you leave again?
The things you left
You left behind
Remind me of
The times I tried
All I can do
To find stable ground
Is come back to
Where I'm at now
Everything is warm
Completely restored
When it began to shift
Moved out of that filthy basement
Sometimes in my dreams
You still disappoint me
What can I do
What can I say
If I fuck up
Will you leave again
The things you left
You left behind
Were those that
Helped me see the light
All I can do
To find stable ground
Is come back to
Where I'm at now
Everything is warm
Completely restored
Everything is so fake
Everything is so fucked
Everything is so fake
Everything is so fake
Everything is so fucked
Everything is so fake

Missing Out
02:28
|
|||
I wanna reach out
I wanna call you
I wanna build this thing
From the ground up
I wanna ask you
About all your interests
I wanna talk
And open up
In this city
With people around me
I'm on the wrong side
Of the stained glass
Somebody's laughing
While everyone's leaving
I want connection
But I'm missing out
In the soft dinner glow
All the conversations
Float around me
And they're too scared
To dip in deep
In the soft dinner glow
They don't even
Notice me
The quiet freak
To them nobody
In the soft city glow
I just wanna be at home
All alone
All alone

Equal Distance
04:01
|
|||
I wanna know
Where do you go
I wanna know
Where do you go
Equal distance
From one end to the other
Yet I'm too afraid to move
It's a comfortable container
As it rolls in
The grief begins to muster
And I'm looking at my youth
The way every open lane
Was easy to use
At the end of this all (At the end of this all)
What will you decide to hold onto? (What will you decide to)
At the end of this all (At the end of this all)
(At the end, at the end of this)
At the end of this all (At the end of this all)
What will you decide to hold onto? (What will you decide to)
(At the end, at the end, at the end, at the end of this)
In the middle
I take in every footstep
And the way the hardwood moves
I know I can't control it
At the end of this all (At the end of this all)
What will you decide to hold onto? (What will you decide to hold)
At the end of this all (At the end of this all)
(At the end, at the end of this)
At the end of this all (At the end of this all)
What will you decide to hold onto? (What will you decide to hold)
At the end of it all (At the end of it all)
(At the end, at the end of this)
Where do you end up
Wouldn't you like to know
Wouldn't you like to know
(I wanna know)
Where do you end up
Wouldn't you like to know
Wouldn't you like to know
(I wanna know)
Where do you end up
Wouldn't you like to know
Wouldn't you like to know
(I wanna know)
Where do you end up
Wouldn't you like to know
Wouldn't you like to know
(I wanna know)
Where do you end up
Wouldn't you like to know
Wouldn't you like to know
(I wanna know)
Where do you end up
Wouldn't you like to know
Wouldn't you like to know
In the summer I'm feeling
Everything and in between
Where do you end up
Wouldn't I like to know
