Can We Keep It Casual
03:55
|

Can we keep it casual in the dark,
when the moment hangs on the discipline of our hearts?
Can we keep it casual in the dark,
when the line that keeps us friends blurs into the stars?
Can we keep it casual in the dark,
when our idle fingers itch for any reason start?
Can we keep it casual with the people there and the people there?
Can we keep it casual with the families and the boyfriends?
Can we keep it casual with the love that's waiting?
Can we keep it casual in the dark?
Can we keep it casual with the people there and the people there?
Can we keep it casual with the families and the boyfriends?
Can we keep it casual with the love that's waiting?
Can we keep it casual in the dark?
Can we keep it casual in the dark,
when the moment hangs on the discipline against the willingness of our hearts?

Ignorant Ape

You haven’t seen the worst of me, no not yet
Give it time, give it time
Cast me off and leave me be, you won’t regret it
Give it time, give it time
And don’t lose sleep,
Don’t lose sleep
Don’t lose sleep on me
Don’t waste your daylight on me
I’m an ignorant ape
Don’t lose sleep on me
Don’t waste your daylight on me, don’t lose sleep on me
Clear your eyes from tears you cried, I wasn’t worth it
Say goodbye, say goodbye
You’re the better one, you’re the better one, you’re always the better one Say goodbye, say goodbye
And don’t lose sleep,
Don’t lose sleep
Don’t lose sleep on me
Don’t waste your daylight on me
I’m an ignorant ape
Don’t lose sleep on me
Don’t waste your daylight on me, don’t lose sleep on me
Don’t lose sleep on me
Don’t waste your daylight on me
I’m an ignorant ape
Don’t lose sleep on me
Don’t waste your daylight on me, don’t lose sleep on me

Sharks
04:44

With my cartilage I
live for carnage and I
know that you are just like me
Make a lure of love and
get ‘em all mixed up and
find a place to sink your teeth
Do you smell blood in the water? My, my
Do you see me on the horizon?
Do you smell blood in the water? My, my
Do you see me on the horizon?
I won’t try pretending,
you’ve got me upended,
and I don’t do well upside-down
Should I sink or swim then?
This game is never-ending
What goes around will come around
So do you smell blood in the water? My, my
Do you see me on the horizon?
Do you smell blood in the water? My, my
Do you see me on the horizon?
Do you smell blood in the water? My, my
Do you see me on the horizon?
Do you smell blood in the water? My, my
Do you see me on the horizon?
I just wanna wrap my tongue around your heart,
feel it struggle in the dark
Taste the bitter, taste the sweet,
feel it drip inside of me
And chew you up and spit you out,
and when you’re limp upon the ground,
you’ll writhe around, you’ll try to breathe,
you’ll reach for air down in the sea
But we’re both sharks

Young Swells
04:08

Stab me in the heart and send me to hell
I don't want to hang out with the young swells
I got thousands of reasons for what I don't want to do
Why can't I get time with you?
Shoot me in the back and leave me to die
A broken heart without an alibi
I got thousands of problems and never learned from my mistakes
How much more can I take?
Something changed my life today
Something changed my life today
Something changed my life today
Something changed my life today
Is it addiction, or is it a fiction?
Is it addiction, or is it a fiction?
Is it addiction, or is it a fiction?
Is it addiction, or is it a fiction?
Is it addiction, or is it a fiction?
Is it addiction, or is it a fiction?
Is it addiction, or is it a fiction?
Is it addiction, or is it a fiction?
Pump me full of pills and put me to sleep
I'll find a way to end the misery
I've got thousands of memories that are full of regret
haven’t forgotten one yet
Shoot me in the back and leave me to die
A broken heart without an alibi
I got thousands of problems and never learned from my mistakes
How much more can I take?
Something changed my life today
Something changed my life today
Something changed my life today
Something changed my life today
We've only just begun to take initiative, it's not too late
We've only just begun to take initiative, it's not too late
We've only just begun to take initiative, it's not too late
We've only just begun to take initiative, it's not too late

Not From Where I'm From
05:00
|

They all said we’re dumb
Not from where I’m from
From where did they come
Not from where I’m from
We could be ourselves if we could leave ourselves tonight
If we could leave ourselves tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
If everything goes right
I’ll be yours and they’ll be theirs tonight
So where do we go, why don’t we know
How much will we grow, an inch or so?
We’ve only just begun to take initiative, it’s not too late
We’ve only just begun to take initiative, it’s not too late
We’ve only just begun to take initiative, it’s not too late
We’ve only just begun to take initiative, it’s not too late
We could be ourselves if we could leave ourselves tonight
If we could leave ourselves tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
If everything goes right
I’ll be yours and they’ll be theirs tonight
We could be ourselves if we could leave ourselves tonight
If we could leave ourselves tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
If everything goes right
I’ll be yours and they’ll be theirs tonight

Succulents
04:59
|

|
Please try for me, for me tonight
We might just be, just be alright
It's late and I, I'm ready now
This wait is mine, I'll wait it out
I'm not the greatest man on earth,
I'm not from some royal birth,
but the kitchen’s nice and clean,
It’s the cleanest you’ve ever seen
I keep the succulents alive,
I behave around the beehive,
This is what I’ve done for you
now what will you decide to do?
This is a life changed before your eyes
I want you, and I, I'll be just fine
I'll take the blame for all the things,
and all the things I didn't think
that also need apologies,
I guess I do regret those things
I keep the succulents alive,
I behave around the beehive,
This is what I’ve done for you
now what will you decide to do?
I started working out again,
I confessed all of my sins,
I smile at all your friends,
the smiling never ends
I keep the succulents alive,
I behave around the beehive,
This is what I’ve done for you
now what will you decide to do?

Leaves
02:59
|

|
My birds will fly south while I also try
I heard what you said, and then what you meant when you said
If you were honest instead then I wouldn’t worry
The dying leaves fall with the sun and I fall apart on my own
My fading light, the cooler nights thought you might
But you never did think of more than yourself
You’re all in your head, and that makes me worry
The dying leaves fall with the sun and I fall apart on my own
The dying leaves fall with the sun and I fall apart on my own

Glass on the Floor
04:51
|
|||
|
What we packed inside the car—your white guitar, my heart
But what we took, we took apart—and threw it hard and far
So what are we dancing for, do we know?
With all that glass on the floor, do we know?
So what are we dancing for, do we know?
With all that glass on the floor, do we know?
And when we ran off through the park, we left it all to restart
Deep inside of what we are is there a star in the dark?
So what are we dancing for, do we know?
With all that glass on the floor, do we know?
So what are we dancing for, do we know?
With all that glass on the floor, do we know?
We burned our bridges and now we sleep like criminals
Waiting for cover
while plotting another
So what are we dancing for
So what are we dancing for, do we know?
With all that glass on the floor, do we know?
So what are we dancing for, do we know?
With all that glass on the floor, do we know?

Sunface
03:55
|
|||
|
I remember sitting on the hood of your car
and the dark glimpse of morning came from out of the stars
It was cold, but as we shivered into each other’s arms
we only shivered ‘cause we knew it was ours
And when the sun came out, it was only your face
Yeah when the sun came out, it was only your face
Where did our love go? Where did our love go?
Where did our love go? Where did our love go?
What we felt in the sun wasn’t us, wasn't me, wasn’t you, was it me, was it you
where it went I dunno, but it was long ago, I was new, I was old, I didn’t feel it go

Ugly Moon
06:02
|

|
You never can hide a disaster
It festers and writhes like a bastard
We want it to work, we want it to last
We’ll deny it ‘til we die and wear it like a mask
Never go out, never look in
Under our skin, what is the reflection?
The moon was ugly last night
as we stood horrified
and exposed to the light
It was us deep inside,
now it was up in the sky
The moon was ugly last night
We don’t want to look, we want ignorance for life
We’ll wear the mask of pride if it’s how we’ll survive
The moon was ugly last night
as we stood horrified
and exposed to the light
It was us deep inside,
now it was up in the sky
The moon was ugly last night
The moon was ugly last night
as we stood horrified
and exposed to the light
It was us deep inside,
now it was up in the sky
The moon was ugly last night

Leaving Home
04:10
|

Now that you are on your own,
are you okay?
You haven't used the telephone
for days
Are you fine and getting by?
How's the job?
Give your lonely mom and I
a call
Have you seen the latest films,
read a book?
Have you learned to do new things?
How to cook?
I remember very well
when I left home
It wasn't my thing anymore
I'd gotten to old
But it always makes you sad and wanna cry when it goes,
and you try to make it hide but it shows
Drop a note by us if we can help
And I know it's like you traveled many miles in the snow,
and you wanna settle down but it's cold
Drop a note by us if we can help
How can it be that you're already grown?
I cannot bear to bring myself to let you go
Drop a note by us if we can help
How can it be that you're already grown?
I cannot bear to bring myself to let you go
Drop a note by us if we can help
