lida rose, i'm home again, rose
to get the sun back in the sky
lida rose, i'm home again, rose
about a thousand kisses shy
ding dong ding
i can hear the chapel bell chime
ding dong ding
at the least suggestion
i'll pop the question
lida rose, i'm home again, rose
without a sweetheart to my name
lida rose, how everyone knows
that i am hoping you're the same
so here is my love song
not fancy or fine
lida rose, oh won't you be mine
lida rose oh lida rose oh lida rose

balloon

she’s a balloon
pretty and blue
and i know what i should do
cut her string and let her loose
when i was with you
was i just a clue
to what you know you’d never do
cut the string and let me loose
on and on and on and on she rises
til she fades into the pale horizon climbing
i guess i will be alright
the higher she flies away
she was a tree
without any leaves
in the summer she would weep
so i colored her with me
i was the sea
without any motion
you were sinking in the deep
but you came and swam with me
on and on and on and on she rises
til she fades into the pale horizon climbing
i guess i will be alright
the higher she flies away
some time ago
i was walking alone
and i swore that i could see
in the clouds above the sea
just a glimmer of a string

i am a zombie now
04:08
|
|||
i see the barriers growing back again
i feel delirious but somehow i’m winning
my days are better spent on more important things
my dreams are turning into nightmares on their own
i hate the feeling of having no control
so i stay up at night and fight the urge to fold
i could go all day long without you on my mind
but everything resets overnight every night
mornings are the hardest now
thats when my guard is down
that’s when i think of you
and my heart gets lost and my heart gets lost again
i am a zombie now
and naps are not my friend
you try going out
without a second wind
ive tried to live like that
but somethings gotta give
if i could hibernate, waste my days
come out the other side, you erased
maybe i’d move on get back to my life again
before i dissipate
i am a zombie now.

together alone
04:16
|

let’s go back to that summer night
when we laid down
you played basketball and i was by the pool tryin’ my best not to fuckin’ drown
let’s go back to that summer night
when we were safe
you rolled your eyes but i saw in the moonlight as i sacrificed myself to the waves
if we do nothing we stay where we are
tension is better than driftin apart
if we go nowhere then i’d still be on my own
but if we stay like this we’re together alone
let’s go back to that summer night
when this was clean
keep all the lights on and our hands to ourselves
with our hearts and eyes still glued to the screen
take me back to those several years
when i hated you
yeah i don’t get to hold your sweetness in my arms
but then no one holds a grudge like i do
i guess
to go the places that we got
how could we not
try it
and you were always gonna stop
but it had to start to get there
and there is no regret there
at all

my bich
04:56

i tried to be a drunk
but i laid down and got the spins
asked for depression pills
the doc sent b12 vitamins
and sometimes i down dayquil
but call it phenylephrine
droppin pheny and i hit the bar
what a stupid way to be hard
what am i afraid of?
it’s good to hurt again
i forgot how to make love
but i’m great at make pretend
it’s hard to admit, but somehow i keep fuckin myself up by bein a dumb shit
i’ve lost too many years
it’s time to fix the problem and move on
take the fear and face it
and make it my bitch
so i’m a nervous wreck
i check my confidence at the door
damn i wish i had a dog
so i could blame it on her
so what if this don’t last
there’s still a you in premature
and the word mature as well
well that’s what i tell myself

sequins
03:25
|

i tore the sequins off your dress in your living room when i was bored
you didn’t notice you were focused on yourself and i was not important
as i strained beneath the weight of panicked months i couldn’t help
feeling distracted
i never told you but i always held my breath when you were lying on my chest
i wouldn’t dare move out of fear i’d wake you up
it didn’t matter if i slept
just a goose down surrogate
i asked you if you wanted me to stay the night and then you got undressed
the ceiling spun, “out of the vein” finished playing through
i sang it as you slept
for a moment i considered standing up and walking out to see if you reacted
so i suffered over night
cursed the covers every time
after all you were sleeping by yourself, mmhm
sleeping by yourself, mmhm
sleeping by yourself, mmhm
sleeping by yourself, mmhm

progress
03:53
|

i think about you now and then
like when i see your space in bed
or something stupid happens and
i think oh you would laugh at that
one day i was spendin thoughts
on weekend hangs and morning walks
my stomach crippled all in knots
but that was love and this is not
this is progress
this is progress
this is progress
ohh
this is progress
this is progress
this is progress
ohh
an hour into waking up
you haven’t plagued a single thought
and maybe i’ve just lived enough
or maybe i just made you up
but that was real i know it was
my heart it split and that was rough
and now it’s weathered all in rust
while you fade backwards into dust
i hope you don’t walk it back
fall into your old routine
cuz it’s not over for you
now it is for me
cuz i remember you’re a mess
i think about you less and less
and then one day you don’t exist
if that’s not i don’t know what is

soft spoken
01:36

didn’t have to drag this out
reload the gun
you know this will kill again
it might take longer now
but that’s half the fun
and one day i’ll learn again
loosen your grip my love
promised youd let me go
distance, patience, all in time
take off your crooked hand
stuck in this windowless room
inside it all reeks of you again
be alone for now
be alone just for now
i heard you call it off
and i wasn’t speaking softly
when we stopped, we stopped
no more goin
no more goin

the waitress

saw this couple yesterday
they looked like they were on their very first date
wow i wished that you looked at me like he did to her
and she would laugh this stupid laugh
and reach out grabbing on to him for life support
while his nervous leg spilt the coffee i’d just poured for her
and nothing looked wrong
not a care in the world
but the frightening truth
of getting too close
cuz one was so willing, and the other was able
and they loved as they sat the same side of the table
two weeks have gone, they’re back again
this time wearing winter clothes and matching shoes
i guess it’s kinda cute... if you’re into that sorta thing
he pulled her in and kissed her cheek
she looked around the room to spot if anyone would see
but i don’t think he noticed as she gave a quick one back to him
but somethin looked wrong
with the boy and the girl
was it frightening truth
of getting too close?
cuz one was so willing if the other was able
and she lied as they sat the same side of the table
four weeks in and 20 checks
she looked longingly into his eyes and then
silence overcame
wantin what she wouldn’t have
but he just ate his oatmeal
making some old joke that she could not resist
and then she took his hand
even though she shouldn’t have
cuz somethin looked wrong
with the boy and the girl
was it frightening truth
of getting too close?
cuz one was so willing if the other was able
and she cried as they sat the same side of the table
it’s been just under two months now
they’re back again but this time it’s more serious somehow
nobody speaks a word until i take their order
i hear him tell her she’s been gone
she nods and says you’re right i think i need to be alone
And now the bill is soaked in tears and i can’t read the signature
and now it’s all wrong
with the boy and the girl
cuz he was all in
and that threatened her world
and one isnt ready and the other is stable
so they died as they sat the same side of the table
