I said ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la yo
Nobody's gonna tell ya when it's time to go.

Gettin' dinner at the downstairs market
The bread is stale, but I'll pay just the same
Haven't done a damn thing since Sunday, now it's Friday it just gets away cause
Dreams don't die, they just tiptoe away...
I was born with the golden eyelids
When I slept I just dreamed of the sun
Now my optimism feels like an island
Uncharted and rumored to be gone cause
Dreams don't die, they just tiptoe away...
I left the trees just to look at buildings
Now the buildings make me miss the trees
What is life but just a little horror?
What a horror the unknown leads cause
Dreams don't die, they just tiptoe away...
They said find something then let it kill you
They say relax, it'll all be okay
But I'm still living here back where I started
And words with weight, yeah they sink every day cause
Dreams don't die, they just tiptoe away...

All We Can Do Is Nothing
03:00
|
|||
|
All we can do is nothing
All we can do is stare
It's like the things that you need paired with the person you'd be means nothing when you're really scared
I wish I was in a coma, I wish it was the fourth of July
I'm like a goldfish boned in a self imposed bowl wondering if it'll ever snow again
All we can do is nothing
I wish I was a trapeze artist, limber and strong and unphased
I could live my life high and sometimes swing low but never have to see what's below again
All we can do is nothing

Don't Be Sad
02:58
|
|||
|
Maybe it's never gonna end
Maybe the nightwatchmen of your soul just likes to play pretend and
Maybe you're never gonna feel cool
There's nothing worse than when the mirror likes the laugh at you but
Don't be sad, don't be sad, don't be sad anymore.
Maybe you're never gonna sober up
You're knocking the dishes around in the sink living life in a dirty cup and
Maybe you're never gonna find love
But abstract concepts come best from within and not from above so
Don't feel sad, don't feel sad, don't feel sad anymore
Maybe you're never gonna buy a house
But at least the dust in the doorway ain't your problem when you're trying to move out and
Maybe it'll never get better
But at least we are together.
Don't be sad, don't be sad, don't be sad anymore.

New Friends
02:49
|
|||
|
New friends, new secrets
More mouths to spread it around
A couple hangs and we're feeling decent
A couple months and there isn't a sound
New loves, new problems
You'll fight about how to shake out the bed
They'll make you wonder whatever happened
To the ones that made you cry instead so
Don't let life take off your head
Cause nobody's a loser if there never was nothing to win
Hard times, easy living
I'll catch a buzz like you catch a breeze
Ain't got no money cause money never lived here
And all I got yeah I learned for free so
Don't let life take off your head
Cause nobody's a loser if there never was nothing to win
Yeah don't give ground to what they said
Cause people love to talk don't hate they're just in their heads
New friends, new scandals
You Won't believe what so and so said
It's like a party that I didn't really dress for
It's all making me miss my bed
Don't let life take off your head
Cause nobody's a loser if there never was nothing to win
Yeah don't give ground to what they said
Cause everybody's talkin' don't hate they're just in their heads

No Room
03:07
|
|||
|
There's no room for anybody new
The casting call of your life has already been sorted through
Say you got five six seven eight friends
Who's got time to cultivate every one of them
So you sit outside and you wonder
Who's gonna care whether you live or die?
Cause outside is the best place for wondering
and you may ask yourself
Is now really the time?
That first time that you fell in love
You thought the butterflies were gonna come bursting out your gut
And you may never again feel gigantic
But maybe managing expectations is new romantic
So you sit outside and you wonder
Who's gonna be there when you're gonna die?
Cause outside is the best place for wondering
And you may ask yourself
Is now really the time?

The River
03:11
|
|||
|
If we look too far back we may drown in a river of serenity
Then we'll trouble ourselves with searching for the pieces of the people we used to be
So if we just go back and we bathe by the river of serenity
You'll find beneath the shore is a rusted door keeping us from our dreams
So let me take you back to our times at the river of serenity
Where the contest was a no holds barred fight to see who's truly free
Now I don't spend much time down by the river of serenity
Cause I spent ten thousand days just wasting away wondering who I'll be

The Only One
02:38
|
|||
|
You just keep reeling me in so I just keep pulling back
It's like squinting at the sun so long that you can't hold the tears back
But I can't be the only one
I can't be the only one
I can't be the only one for you
I know you want me to hand you a blanket cause the world is too damn cold
I know you wanna get some light in your life before our bodies begin to mold
But I can't be the only one
I can't be the only one
I can't be the only one for you
I'm just not strong enough

The Darkest Hymn
02:44
|
|||
|
You are my master now, but you probably couldn't pick me out in a crowd
You have a stain glassed window smile, you have a stain glass window smile
Yeah, you're my master now, we start at five then we burn down the town
You have a stained glass window smile, you give a drunk a reason to smile
So you're my master now, whatever you need I'll pick it up in town
You have a stained glass window smile, you have a gaze that peers for miles

Cold Shoulders
02:51
|
|||
|
Never had a great night, never felt any power
Never felt the relief of just seeing my love escape from the shower
Baby have another drink on me, it's all my fault this mess I can be
You can dance on my face if it makes it alright, you can dance on my face if it makes it alright hey hey
I've got a lot to say but man I'm shy when it goes that way
I could show you my soul but that's a heavier weight we could just go out we could just stay safe and swoon, one for one and two for two
You can dance on my face if it makes it alright, you can dance on my face if it makes it alright cause
Even in the dead of night, I'm feeling like I get cold shoulders
We're just kids now I guess, just kids and never older
And even in the dead of night, I'm feeling like I get cold shoulders
We're just kids and never older...
