Really Really

I'm scared to go
So I take a picture of
My guitar to sell
Ask me how it goes
And I tell you all about
How I'm doing really well
But I'm scared to go
I'm afraid to let you know
I'll still love you when I'm home
Ask me how it goes and I
Tell you all about how I'm
Doing really well (Really well, really well)
I'm scared to know so I
Pack up all my stuff
And I tell myself to grow
Ask me how I know
And I tell you all about
How I want what
I can show (I can show)
But I'm scared to go
I'm afraid to let you know
I'll still love you when I'm home
Ask me how it goes and I
Tell you all about how I'm
Doing really well (Really well, really)

Reeling II
01:54

|

I’m not seeking out a ride
I’m not here to find a good time
I’m reeling it back
You would take me for a fool
You would take me for the kind of human
Who’d dish it all out and right when it matters he’d take it all back
And all in a daze
I wandered along an easy way
In a mood I’d never been
In a feel I’d never felt
And all late that day
I wandered along the merry way
In powerful ecstasy
Nothing came close to it

Half It
02:27
|
|

All gussed up and ready to go as I inch for the front door
I halfway across the room and cross it again and half it again and again
I half it again
First time calling an end to the thing I was halfway to broken
Patch things up just to break them again and I half it again and I half it again
I half it again
(Guitar solo)
Halfway through the vain little thought that I fucked up the solo
Practice up and I'm halfway to good and I run it again and I'm halfway again
I'm halfway to good
I half it again

Expectations

Teach me about the blues
Ask if she's paying half
Always expecting news
even when it's bad
Always expected you
to ask her to pay for half
Now I just want to the news
even when it's bad (it's bad, it's bad, it's bad)
When it's bad, when it's bad.
Where have you gone?
You're there when I ask you to be and that's enough
And in that way you kind of force me to say what I need (which I need)
You're where I think you'll be, no matter how rough it is for me
And in that way at least I can predict this stuff (which is sweet)
Now I know not to lose
Still know to treat you nice
Always expect the truth
Not always what's right
You don't expect a thing
That's why it works so well
Talk to you when I sing
You feel it but you can't tell (can't tell, can't tell, can't tell)
You can't tell when it's bad.

Pouring Up
04:13
|
|

Once in a while, a break, some blue would peek through
And to capture it all in a blind was all we could do
Picture the palm of a hand closing on you
All your failure, false charm and your pride, all intention accrued
Rain pouring up, waves roll out
Remember the part of the night when it all came untethered
All the rafters and trusses of bone, the altar of you
Rain pouring up, waves roll out
A hatchet, a symbol, a phone – how you wish it weren’t...
To the looseness of rules, all along, you’ve finally come to
Rain pouring up, waves roll out

20 Times

If I’ve told you once I’ve told you 20 times
gather up more
gathering more
you’ll hang yourself out to dry
Take it easy, take it slow
take it easy, take it
Anywhere you want, anywhere you go
The gambler he rolls
In rolling he’s ossified
Ha ha ha ha ...
Countin’ your owes
Bang on the nose
If I’ve told you once I’ve told you 20 times
Get on the floor
Get on the floor
You can’t be right all the time
If I’ve told you once I’ve told you 20 times
Going for more
Going for more
You’ll never be satisfied

Take Care

I could take care of you
but I would want you to
take care of you and brood
see all of your moods through
I should take care of me
see that I can hear these
things that I think I need
see that I can hear
I would take care of you
but you've got that seen to
I should just let you through
see all of my moods brew
I should take care of these
sounds I can't hear clearly
hear what I want and need
not what I hold dearly
I'm sick of waiting
I'm sick of waiting for
I'm sick of waiting for it
I'm sick of waiting for it to fall apart
I could take care of you
but I would want you to
take care of you and brood
see all of your moods through
We should just let this breathe
keep calm and collected
fall in and out with ease
see that I can wreck this
I'm sick of waiting
I'm sick of waiting for
I'm sick of waiting for it
I'm sick of waiting for it to
I'm sick of waiting for it to fall apart

Notice

Is it the same old narrative where you've taken me for granted?
I can see the bullshit well up to your eyes
Come back
Um, I cannot believe you have the gall to ask me for literally anything at this point
To your request, here's a question
Will it not be the same old narrative where you've taken me for granted?
I have had it with your bullshit to my eyes
Maybe we won't figure this out
Maybe I should pack up my bags
Maybe I should hit the road again
Maybe it's time to just call this whole thing off
Maybe we can figure it out
Maybe let me think on a raise
And sort it out together over a bottle of Cava again
Can you wait a week until I check with him?
Um, I cannot believe you have the gall to ask me for literally anything at this point
To your request, here's your answer

Vampire

Like a vampire / dementor, suck it up and take it away
All the simple parts of living
I will not let anymore fear
I will not let anymore fear
Chase all the good things away,
All the simple parts of living
"Suck it up and tell me you’re mine now, honey
Tie me down, make me feel weak"
It’s alright, the choice is really mine
I will not let anymore fear
I will not let anymore fear
Chase all the good things away,
All the simple parts of living
Something tells me at sundown
Something whispers in shashing breath
“If not for the realization that I’m just people
I’d be a foundering mess”
I will not let anymore fear
I will not let anymore fear
Chase all the good things away,
All the simple parts of living

Wouldn't Give
04:08

(What I wouldn’t give to have it):
Gave it all some thought
But can’t give it too much
It’s written out in full
That I could have it all
Give it a bit of salt
Begin again just sulk
It’s written on the walls
If you could only talk
Finally I want
Someone who would fall
And I would give all
What I wouldn’t give
Ahhhhhh-ahh-ahh ...
(What I couldn’t give when I had it):
I got you and I saw
I couldn’t give at all
Chalked it to a loss
I don’t know what I should’ve been thinking
Give it a bit of salt
Don’t start again, just sulk
It’s written on the walls
It’s just I can barely talk
Finally I want
to really truly fall
I could give all
What I couldn’t give
Ahhhhhh-ahh-ahh ...
(What I wouldn’t give to forget):
I’ve given it some thought
Probably I’ve given it too much
The whole thing was written in full
I cover it with salt
uh Still I taste the rot
uh
Still I taste the want
But to forget it all
What I wouldn’t give
Ahhhhhh-ahh-ahh ...
What I wouldn’t give
To be free of you
What I wouldn’t give
To be free of you
What I wouldn’t give
To be free of you
