I think I’m changing for real this time
It feels so good to feel again
And I don’t know your deal
But I know mine
I think I finally have a plan
Wait
Tell me you need me
Wait
Tell me something real
Wait
Tell me you need me
Wait
Tell me it’s how you feel
It feels so good to be able to breathe
That crooked smile looks good on you
Well I’m back home now as you can see
Nothing to prove, and nothing to do
Wait
Tell me you need me
Wait
Tell you really care
Wait
I need someone to help me
You gotta tell me some truth
Wait
Tell me you want me
Wait
Tell something real
Wait
Tell me the answers
Wait
Tell me how to feel

Don't Say You're In Love

The moment that you see
You don’t need me
I tried to tell you, I tried to tell you
But you just won’t leave
Don’t say you’re in love
If that’s what you’re thinking of
I don’t want to tell you, don’t want to tell you
Just what’s wrong with me
That damsel in distress routine
Hasn’t worked since 2016
And the look in your eyes, yeah the look in your eyes, yeah
They tell me you just won’t believe

Well she looked just like Heather Graham
With her feet in the sand
And she told me to come closer so I did
She said, “Hey what’s your name?”
I said I hadn’t got one
She said, “Same.”
She said she had a room at the Hollywood Murder Hotel
Hollywood Murder Hotel
We’ve got 51 rooms for you, 52 pretty soon
No better place to drink and dine, just be out the door by nine
Hollywood Murder Hotel
There’s a swimming pool on the roof, just take the fire escape
At the Hollywood Murder Hotel
We’re looking forward to your stay
How long? Maybe a day
At the Hollywood Murder Hotel

Sometimes
All it takes
Is to say your beliefs out loud
To hear how crazy they sound
And they sound crazy
Honestly
I wouldn’t be too surprised
If it rained on our wedding
The worst day of my life was a sunny day
Everything is gonna be alright
It’s gonna be just fine
Everything is gonna be alright
I said everything is gonna be just
Just breathe in, breathe out
Everything is gonna be alright

All those tragic, nostalgic words
That you keep behind your teeth
Spit them out for me
Natalie
Don’t know where I’m going
To be true, I just don’t care
Cause baby wherever I’m going
I know you’ll be there
You’re not the only thing
I keep on my arm
The smell of your house
My high school fire alarm
Will never do me harm
Like you, Natalie
Don’t know where I’m going
To be true I just don’t care
Cause baby where I’m going I know that you’ll be there
With me
Didn’t work out this time
Try it again
Maybe there’ll be part three
Or is this the end?
All those tragic, nostalgic words
That you keep behind your teeth
Spit them out for me

After Irma
06:51
|

|
I’m looking for a little immediacy
To make up for the lack of intimacy
Of which I’ve grown so fond
You always knew how to say it best
The thing was always a beautiful mess
And now, and now the time has come
After Irma I had a dream I was in love again
And it felt so real, but now it’s the end
And you need time for me
Being home made me realize that this isn’t love
And you'd think by now that you'd have had enough
Of me crying in your arms
Sorry for never really being there
And I know that you truly cared
But now, know that I’ll miss you
I don’t need nothing
And you don’t need nothing
I don’t need nothing
We don’t need me no more
I don’t need nothing
And you don’t need nothing
And I don’t need nothing
We don’t need me no more
You don’t need nothing
And I don’t need nothing
And you don’t need nothing
And you don’t want me no more
I don’t need nothing
And you don’t need nothing
And I don’t need nothing
We don’t need me no more
I don’t need nothing
And you don’t need nothing
And we don’t need nothing
We're no longer in love

There’s a plastic ring on the floor
Don’t know what it’s for
So I guess I’ll just let it be
There’s only so much you can do in the August heat
Yeah there’s really not much to do in the summer heat
There's a cat on the porch
And it's scratching at the door
But I'm never gonna let him in
There's only so much to do when you never win
Yeah there's really nothing left to do if you never win
And all this time is me time
And in the meantime I'm thinking about you staying cool
And I don't even know you're deal
But I'll figure it out
I'm figuring out myself
I had a dream last night I was looking for a fight
And I found one unfortunately
There's only so much you can do in this summer heat
Yeah there's really nothing left to do in this summer heat

Looking for a
Good excuse to
Call you up like
Like I used to
And now you’re oh so far away
Yes, now you’re oh so far away
How’d you get (so far away?) (out of here?)
And now you’re so far away
Can’t move on
Without knowing
If you feel alright
Do you feel alright?
And the very last thing that I need in my life
Is another Laura Palmer to keep me up at night
And I find it hard to sleep when I keep seeing you in my dreams

Letters and Numbers

Hey how have you been these days?
I, I’ve been staying up late
Remembering dreams
Or so it seems
I’ve been hanging 'round uptown
Waiting for a reason to not sound like I’m a bore
Can’t take much more
You think that it’s getting too dark
You always have to pick apart
My perfect plans
With your perfect hands
We walk to the lower west side
You tell me that we already tried
To make it work
But you seem hurt
Now I’m all on my own
I should’ve charged my phone
I’m stuck outside
Without a ride
I’m stuck in between the letters and numbers

The Beginning

I’m a 20-something with teenage vices
And I like your hair
And I feel invited
To talk to you
Cause you’re looking lonely
And I’m not much but I feel like somebody
You take me out to a terrible party
And I make you cry
And I say I’m sorry
And I bore you to death
With my stupid love songs
And then say that I’m just
Reading it all wrong
And it starts again
And it just starts again
