Over
If I had to go again
I know I’d change a thing or two
Rubber band
Keeping me together
In the end
Floater
Oh I’m flooding all my senses
If only for a hint of you
Another
Couldn’t pick me from a crowded
Room of lovers
Silently fall asleep for days
For vague reasons
But I’ll learn to take the pain away
Corner
Where I fell out of the frame
Correct me with a pen again
Loner
But I only I have to give
Myself back to it
Happiness sticks like spit in your mouth
You let it get in, it’ll never drip out
Memory sings it’s hymns out loud
You let it get in, it’ll never ring out

Soft Power
04:23
|

Who took your money
Who put you to the test
One sip of gin for while your head's a mess
And spinning like a carousel
Who took your power
You know it never ends
Plucked from a dream
You're two worlds in between
Wading through this hell again
Oooh
We bet and we bet and we bet
Oooh
Again and again and again
You take for granted
A life nobody earns
Until it hurts
One thousand little burns
And pulls you from the place you've been
Who makes it better
After it all comes down
Is this the end
You finally put to rest
This slowly drifting world we're in
Oooh
We bet and we bet and we bet
Oooh
Again and again and again
Oooh
We bend and we bend and we bend
Oooh
Again and again and again

Full-Time
03:14
|

Now that our tears fell to the floor
We can see clearer than before
Who could pretend
Who could betray this moment
Oh why did we end this so young
You pulled the curtain from my eyes
You had me working full-time again
Picking me up
Listening to my worst stuff
Now this vacancy calls for your love
I’m no one without you now
(Could be anybody)
I hopelessly wait around for you
If I’m allowed let me love you
And save me from myself
I never asked you to forgive
Though I enabled something within you
But that turned you on
And that turned to staging our love
Now it’s blatantly calling our bluff
I’m no one without you now
(Could be anybody)
I hopelessly wait around for you
If I’m allowed let me love you
And save me from myself
If it’s over, over our heads
Let’s do it over, over again
You could hate me, but don’t ever forget
If you’re lonely, you only pretend
And I’m there

Alone For the Last Time
03:51
|
|||
I feel like I'm alone for the last time
Don't wake me when it's over
I'm in my head
I feel like I'm alone for the last time
And every wall is closing in
I feel like I'm alone for the last time
And my friends don't ever call
But I'm alright with that
I feel like I'm alone for the last time
It seems that it's calm for while it lasts
I'll learn to love on my own
So leave me be
Don't wake me up when it's over
Just leave me here
Come with me
Don't lead me off
To the arms of no one
Don't miss this
All that I want
Is a whole world for us
I feel like I'm alone for the last time
When the sun comes in the morning
I'll be right there
I feel like I'm alone for the last time
But I'd rather go another year
I'll learn to love on my own
So leave me be
Don't wake me up when it's over
Just leave me here
Just leave me here
Just leave me here

Weeknights
02:52
|

Dance us out of our clothes
Just don't let me go
'Til someone's in love
Don't stand there shaking on purpose
Making me nervous
Desperate to touch
You sway like a flower in rain
Heaven can wait
So dance us far from the city
I wanna feel pretty
I wanna be changed
Draw me into the background
Part of your plan now
I wanna be there
You saw me there with my guard down
Sleeve with my heart out
Wandering scared
Those weeknights after hours
When you came into the frame
Oh draw me into your corner
I wanna be yours
I wanna be saved
I'm gasping for a moment
With you
I'm tied up in the promises
Of you
I'm gasping for a moment
With you

Cut Corners
03:52
|

Some people say I’ve been wrong
Lost my head in a song or two
I tell em I’m playing the long run
And stay in my lane with you
Tracing the lines of your halo
Making it light on queue
We stick like glue
Some people like catching habits
And feeling like addicts do
But I’ve left it all up to chance
Spent a night in a jail or two
I would’ve climbed through the walls
Pressed my head to the bars
Right through for an inch of you
So let’s hurry in
Girl keep your head, it’s over soon
But I won’t pretend
That I could forget the look of you
We’re up to the edge
Sunk in this bed about to lose
But there’s no crime that we can’t undo
I think back and I don’t feel so bad
For thieving or lying too
Cause maybe I cut other paths
Just to make it in time for you
Most of the time I was melting
I know what I felt was true
I always do
So let’s hurry in
Girl keep your head, it’s over soon
But I won’t pretend
That I could forget the look of you
We’re up to the edge
Sunk in this bed about to lose
But there’s no crime that we can’t undo
I don’t know what I would do
Without you
I don’t know what I would do
Without you

Since I saw the message from you
I’m seeing ghosts now
Past lives in my room
Still got a lot of thinking to do
As the curtain falls down
I’m drifting from you
While you’re left waiting by the phone
I’ll forget the lies you told
Just don’t say you never loved me
If I let you go
What’s it take for anybody
To drive off alone
I don’t wanna love another
I just wanna see the stars a-glow
Just don’t say you never loved me
So I can come home
I used to be an ocean for you
I’d feel you every morning
Go down with the moon
Show me something
That we can do
I’ll call without a warning
And you make the move
While you’re left waiting by the phone
I’ll forgive the lies you told
Just don’t say you never loved me
If I let you go
What’s it take for anybody
To drive off alone
I don’t wanna love another
I just wanna see the stars a-glow
Just don’t say you never loved me
So I can come home
Maybe we’re untouchable
If we’d only try
Just don’t say you never loved me
If I let you go
What’s it take for anybody
To drive off alone
I don’t wanna love another
I just wanna see the stars a-glow
Just don’t say you never loved me
So I can come home

Baby, Hold On
03:07

At this crossroads
I don’t wanna go and gamble
Just let me up, I can handle the load
In this stalemate
You left me all alone to wallow
Fuck it, I’ll take the long road
And I’ll
Hold on
What could go wrong?
Baby, hold on
Hold on
What could go wrong?
Baby, hold on
Would you take my hand tonight
Would you put this car in drive
Will you hold my feet to the fire
I know you will
Things may happen
But let’s not leave it up to chance
Take it all in our hands
And know that I’ll
Hold on
What could go wrong?
Baby, hold on
Hold on
What could go wrong?
Baby, hold on
Hold on
What could go wrong?
Baby, hold on
Hold on
What could go wrong?
Baby, hold on

We Do It On Purpose
03:56
|

Somewhere
Further out from the center
We've got a view of the heavens
Nothing new to impress us
Remember
Before the world got confusing
Oh it turned like a movie
Now we yearn for that beauty
While we slept
Something changed
But I don't know when
We never meant
To see this far ahead
It feels like
We do it on purpose
Remembering times
That won't come again
It feels like
We do it on purpose
We'll never get high
Like we did back then
All was still
In the room where you left me
So nostalgic and empty
Just like all happy endings
Long gone
All the time that we spent here
Every night that we dreamt here
So let's just move on
It feels like
We do it on purpose
Remembering times
That won't come again
It feels like
We do it on purpose
We'll never get high
Like we did back then
Far from here
Was it all for real
Far from me
I just wanna crawl back to sleep
It feels like
We do it on purpose
Remembering times
That won't come again
It feels like
We do it on purpose
We'll never get high
Like we did back then
It feels like
We do it on purpose
It feels like
We do it on purpose
