I'm Okay!! 03:36
I want to sample the small sounds that escape your mouth when I kiss your neck Play it back, repeat it back Fall asleep and dream of it all again We can mourn the passage of time if you would like to But I like the way time moves when you're here It goes by so soft and slow I want to celebrate I feel okay I want to celebrate I feel okay If you wake up one morning And no longer want me around I would feel alright Cus I'm happy just to know your first name I'm happy to know your name I'm happy to know your name I'm happy to know your name I'm happy to know your name

Don't wanna think till I'm sick (wanna hold you) Can't sleep your in my head (wanna hold you) Feel your hands on my throat (wanna show you off) Taste your words in my mouth (gonna show you off) In a past life I have seen you I spoke to you, got to know you Gonna show you off Your mind is golden Your skin is glowing But I am frozen I am nothing Trying to keep up Things look different now Things look different now Don't wanna see the world like I used to Everything is colored softly Everything is colored softly Sunlight no longer hurts me Don't wanna think till I'm sick (wanna hold you) Can't sleep your in my head (wanna hold you) Feel your hands on my throat (wanna show you off) Taste your words in my mouth (gonna show you off) So much love to give Give it all to me So much love to give Give it all to me Make it hurt slap my face Make it hurt please Make it hurt slap my face Make it hurt please Don't wanna think till I'm sick (wanna hold you) Can't sleep your in my head (wanna hold you) Feel your hands on my throat (wanna show you off) Taste your words in my mouth (gonna show you off)

I want everything I say to be drenched in wit And I want to wake up somewhere new in the morning It's a new year and I want to feel the same Cus I like where I'm at where I am and who is with me I haven't been able to say that for a long time, if ever And even if you don't think so, I think your song was clever I don't know why I trust you with my fragile frame But it happens to work and I like being near you I don't think about what could happen very often And yes we are both scared but that doesn't matter Cus I've been afraid most of my life it's nothing new And I like being near you And I like being near you Even if I'm terrified of what that means Or what it means to feel what I do Cus I just like being near you

Not Ashamed 03:23
VCR to RCA to TV All I see is red, blue, green I want to be lookin through My 9906 Capture everything And store it for later usage Forget too much My memories no good But I got these tapes I hope it's not too late I'm not ashamed to admit I think about you a lot I'm not ashamed to admit I think about fucking a lot I think you do too I know you do too Let's role the tape and not forget anything VCR to RCA to TV All I see is red, blue, green My mouth buffers My mind moves I can't keep up so I'll just keep it all inside I think too much Nothing comes out Never sounds right Why do I try? I'm not ashamed to admit I think about you a lot I'm not ashamed to admit I think about fucking a lot I think you do too I know you do too Let's role the tape and not forget anything I'm not ashamed to admit I think about you a lot I'm not ashamed to admit I think about fucking a lot I'm not ashamed to admit I think about you a lot I'm not ashamed to admit I think about fucking a lot

Our problem is too many books Stacked up on our shelves Too many words we will never read They will eat us alive Slowly, oh my dear Slowly, oh I fear They will eat us alive Now I see an old ghost It calls in the dark While I’m trying to sleep Oh I see it standing And it wants back in Cus now it knows the beauty it once held But it will eat us alive Our books will outlive us Those plastic bags we saved will too We will turn to dust and ashes We will turn to dust and ashes

Let's get famous and quit our jobs there's nothing for us there And I need more time to run my fingers over your cheeks And over the lines that form around your mouth when you smile And I need more time in the morning with your tired eyes I'm no good with words I hope you understand I grow tired of them I let them go I want to speak to you with my hands Your skin is braille I can feel your thoughts Let's get famous and move to the desert Speak to no one and watch the sun set Grow old and write books about it This cold has touched my bones and I need a sunny state I'm no good with words I hope you understand I grow tired of them I let them go I need time to thaw I was frozen there I needed you closer I always need you closer

Shelf Life 04:14
I wonder what my shelf life is When will you throw me out When will I expire Will I ever be an optimist Should we compare mythologies Cus your words break me down like Cohen's Will my bones shatter Will my heart split Cus I heard everyone leaves when they get the chance But I hope you stay I hope you stay Cus I could follow the lines of your smile forever I hope you don't mind If I stick around And make myself at home in your kindness I hope you don't mind if I stare for a little I could follow the lines of your smile till I die I've been feelin' good trying to find something solid to hold But all I found were sheets and air I've been lost too long I've been wrong so many times in my life But god you feel so right Now I'm up all night Tryin' not to sleep cus this is better than my dreams God you feel so right I hope you don't mind If I stick around And make myself at home in your kindness I hope you don't mind if I stare for a little I could follow the lines of your smile till I die

We are pocket change We are bouncing off each other What beautiful noise we make In even our silence together aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah We are fractions of a whole And when you're gone it rains Oh god when you're gone it rains When you're gone it rains

Dog Dreams 04:00
Today we went to the park Down by the river side And we dug holes and climbed trees Like little kids did Before they grew up callused And knew what loneliness is That dog by the water is fine I'm sure he lived a happy life Just like I am now And even if I wash up on shore Bloated and cold At least I know that I was once floating with you And we were happy And we were clean And we were beautiful and kind Well the world was mean But we had each other's words to keep us warm My leaves were falling off My branches hung low But you found a place to build a nest and call home I'm not the strongest Or the tallest I don't get all the sun I need But those leave grew back and now live happy Just like I am now And even if I wash up on shore Bloated and cold At least I know that I was once floating with you And we were happy And we were clean And we were beautiful and kind Well the world was mean But we had each other's words to keep us warm What did I do in a past life To deserve your hands on my chest Or your eyes looking into mine Oh it all must be a dream And that dog by the water is just dreaming too Cus no one dies they just fall asleep So please don't cry Please don't mourn anymore
