Next Town Over
01:55

|
In the next town over, always catching up on conversations
In the next town over, there’s no need to make a reservation
In the next town over, can’t avoid all of the implications
In the next town over, time to hide from all the paid vacations
In the next town over, cruise around all of the unknown places
In the next town over, take a photograph and then misplace it
In the next town over, the night is young we need no destinations
In the next town over, only some good friends and some good vibrations
Over, un huh We’re going down, it’s going down in the next town over
That’s right. Gonna have a real good time tonight
In the next town over, say goodbye to all your worried thoughts
In the next town over, order all your drinks on the rocks
In the next town over, there’s no need to make a master plan
In the next town over, what about that can’t you understand
In the next town over, drop everything come on over
In the next town over, I wanna be your dog you can call be Rover
In the next town over, doesn’t matter if you’re drunk or sober
In the next town over, don’t hesitate in the next town over
Yea, That’s right. It’s all happening in the next town over, tonight. So, come on down, come on down bring all your friends.
In the next town over.

Controlling

Maybe yes. Maybe no. Maybe it’s just that nobody knows. Allow it to be.
Having control just wasn’t cut out for me.
I want it too bad. Synapses fire too fast and now I’m raging made just say it’s all in the past.
Tell you exactly what to do but I still get mad.
Tell you exactly what to think but it seems too rash.
Is it fear? Should be love. I’m not sure what dreams are made of been still for too long.
Hold on to each moment even though it’s gone.

Tell you exactly what to do but I still get mad.
Tell you exactly what to say but it seems too rash.
I can’t take it back. So let’s please not fight when I boss you around.
I’m finding my footing to walk on my own, but it’s like rolling a stone.

Summer Strange
02:43
|

|
First, we’ll run away and change our names to something strange.
Then we’ll stay the same. Afraid to change we’ll stay the same.
Years, time, money spent on booze and rent. Where have they went?
Fine, but not quite great. Life's great escapes, just aren’t that great.

Still Time
02:26
|

|
Blanking on it but I want it to fit if there’s still time.
Not met with the gift that you wanted to get it still resides in the possession of someone
It’s always a fix you can’t describe
Reinventing all the schemes that the seams let you see when they had time
If not for other dreams you would have long ago been buried and died
Stare into mirrors unseen as if screams can’t be heard on the other side
Not trying to say anything you don’t already know
Not trying to tell you anything you don’t already know
If you could buy anything then maybe you’d already know
If I could buy anything then I might also already know

What's Next

Forget what I said. I can’t feel my head. The words just fall out. I can’t stop them now. It all comes from love, but maybe too much. Perhaps it’s a crutch? Perhaps it’s a crutch.
I’ll cry some tears and scream out all my fears and hope that you hear and hope that you hear. I hope that you hear.
(round, and round and round it goes and no time left for a thought. There’s no holding back on even the slightest feeling it’s got me reeling.)
I’ll cry some tears and scream out all my fears and hope that you hear and hope that you hear. I hope that you hear.
(unwind unravel until you care. Confuse the truth for a dare.)
That’s not what I said. Don’t tell me again. Just listen instead. Please, listen instead. I’m right at the door. I’m asking for more. My heart’s on the floor. I’m begging for more.
I’ll cry some tears and scream out all my fears and hope that you hear and hope that you hear. I hope that you hear.

Drunk

When you’re drunk you joke about death. It’s not funny, no, it’s not your best. I try to tell you you’re not alone, but it means nothing coming through the phone.
When you’re drunk you joke about sex. It’s not funny, no, you’re kind of a mess. I try to tell you that we’re just friends. It’s not some zone that I’ve put you in.

Cigarette

I want to be your cigarette, but not another bad habit. I want to be the one you need when you’ve had too many drinks. When you need a stress relief, just pretend I’m nicotine.
I want to be your cigarette, like a treat after sex. I want to be the one you need when you’ve had too many drinks. When you need a stress relief, just pretend I’m nicotine.

Pink

It’s Saturday, we’ve gone away looking for a little vacation. The car humms, we’re having fun moving to the tires rotation.
I can’t say what I’m feeling, but I know it’s you and me. I may be blind by expectations when you're all I see.
The sun sets, I see pink in the sky and in your cheeks. There’s no place I’d rather be. Let’s get through the desert and then… just see.
I can’t say what I’m feeling, but I know it’s you and me. I may be blind by expectations when you're all I see.

Modern Waste
02:04
|
|||
|
Take your modern-day awareness pill. It’s enough to make you ill
Try not to think about anything or get excited now
Get that monkey off your back or have a heart attack
There’s nothing holding you down, not for what you lack
And it’s time you can replace
You can’t save face
You’re not fooling anyone
There’s nothing left to taste but modern waste
And even that’s almost gone
Try to make something of yourself, if it’s just out of clay
Put sunglasses on your head and wish for brighter days
There’s a place you’ve never been and it knows what you need
It’s so wild it can’t be tamed and there’s no guarantees
But it’s still time you can replace
You can’t save face
You’re not fooling anyone
There’s nothing left to taste but modern waste
And even that’s almost gone

Early 90s, 21, she didn’t have a clue. You were next door coke on the floor a needle by the broom. Now I know the reason why her stories felt so removed. It’s all because her biggest hurt was you.
She told me once that I was like you, but I never knew.
In a band, you were the frontman, singing songs by angry brits. I imagine you up there full of wit and David Bowie confidence. You came to my show. I didn’t know. I couldn’t handle it. Got drunk, fucked up, and it’s all because…

I’m feeling like I can’t breathe. I’m feeling like a cat caught in a bag. I think I need a light breeze to blow these thoughts far away from me.
‘Cause I can’t hear it when you call my name and I can’t ever be okay.
I’m feeling like I can’t see. I’m feeling like I never really could. I think I need some hot tea to kill these monsters inside of me.
‘Cause I can’t hear it when you call my name and I can’t ever be okay.
