In my dream last night
You kissed them while I watched
It made me feel so relieved
So happy
That you were doing what felt right
That you were doing what you want
Why does it hurt now that I'm awake?
Why does it burn?
I guess when I'm asleep I'm not afraid
Guess when I'm asleep I'm not afraid
When I'm asleep I'm not afraid

The One About the Hips
04:51

I put my lips to the bottle and I drink real deep
I don't need no one with me
when I've got my liquor rocking me to sleep
I feel so special when I'm buzzing in my bed
and I'll tell you everything you want to hear
but don't let it get to your head
Like my lips to the bottle
you put your lips to my heart
and you start to chug
let's go full throttle
I don't know what that means
but I think it's my kind of love
to the bottle
you run your fingers through my hair
and just pop me open, yeah
It's thirsty Thursday and I'm drinking at a bar all alone
but don't get me wrong, I don't want no one else
to come and take me home
I think of your face as I raise this glass
and I think of your hands making their way
from my hips, down to...
I put my lips to the bottle
you put your lips to my heart
and you start to chug
let's go full throttle
I don't know what that means
but I think it's my kind of love
to the bottle
you run your fingers through my hair
and just pop me open, yeah
(instrumental)
Like my lips to the bottle

let's go full throttle

Turn It Off
05:05
|

I take a moment while I'm waiting for my lunch
to answer some text message that I've been putting off
it's not that i'm avoiding you
it's just that digital communication sometimes really puts me off
and now I'm driving in my car
listening to the radio
'cause it makes me feel connected to something
and then I turn it off
'cause the thoughts in my head are pounding
sometimes I think I'll never be happy
I always seem to find something wrong
but it's not about finding a place of contentment and never changing
we just face every challenge in a hostile world
and then we move along
I used to do a lot of LSD
with my shitty high school boyfriend
and it gave everything a sense of meaning
and it made me feel significant
and now the numbers on the digital clock
on my oven
they never seem to stop dancing
I haven't touched that stuff in years
but I guess it's still lingering
and now I'm driving in my car
listening to the radio
'cause it makes me feel connected to something
and then I turn it off
'cause the thoughts in my head are pounding
sometimes I think I'll never be happy
I always seem to find something wrong
but it's not about finding a place of contentment and never changing
we just face every challenge in a hostile world
and then we move along
along...
along...
sometimes I think I'll never be happy
I always seem to find something wrong
but it's not about finding a place of contentment and never changing
we just face every challenge in a hostile world
and then we move along

Must've Been
05:59
|
|||
|
You must be so scared
that's why you hold on to everything so tightly
paying no mind to your hands
and who it is, or what it is
they might be suffocating
who taught you how to love?
must've been, must've been
who taught you how to love?
must've been, must've been
a hammer with a human head
must've been, must've been
and you must feel so insecure
that's why you nail yourself and everyone else
down to the floor
and you must feel so threatened
that's why you break everything in half
before it can bend
who taught you how to love?
must've been, must've been
who taught you how to love?
must've been, must've been
a hammer with a human head
must've been, must've been
(instrumental)
and fear might make them stay
but it won't bring back
any of the good things that
you've already driven away
fear won't make them stay
fear will make them run away
(gently, desperately)
who taught you how to love?
must've been, must've been
who taught you how to love?
must've been, must've been
a hammer with a human head
must've been, must've been
(invigorated, with renewed self-assuredness)
who taught you how to love?
must've been, must've been
who taught you how to love?
must've been, must've been
a hammer with a human head
must've been, must've been

A Tragedy!
03:11
|

The hood of my car is a graveyard
covered with dismembered bodies and wings
when they told you about the birds and the bees
did they tell you that the bees would end up
splattered on the hood of an SUV
A bird flew right into my window
and broke his beautiful beak
when they told you about the birds and the bees
did they tell you that the birds would end up
broken on the floor of the passenger seat
and no one ever told you now
no one ever told you now
no one ever told me
that sometimes the things that kill you
are the things that you just can't see
The hood of my car is a graveyard
covered with dismembered bodies and wings
when they told you about the birds and the bees
did they tell you that the bees would end up splattered...
that the birds would end up broken...
that you (I) would end up lying on the floor of the passenger's seat

I used to dream
of a lover who would be proud to love me
we made love at your parents' house
and when I showed up at school the next day
and I walked up to our group of friends
you turned your body away
before I could have a chance to lift my hand to wave
and now this is proving to be
a rather depressing pattern for me
I seem to take lovers who are ashamed
Invisible love, and I'm grasping onto anything
Invisible love, that could prove this exists to me
Invisible love, and I'm crying myself to sleep
Invisible love, how could I get so deep...
Into something you insist...
does not exist...
Invisible love, and you say that it's just bad timing
Invisible love, so i'm living in hiding
Invisible love, and you won't be seen with me
Invisible love, how could I grasp on so tightly...
to something that you would swear
just is not there
oh, what did I do
to so thoroughly embarrass you
Invisible love, we're only ever alone in your bedroom
Invisible love, and I'm running on fumes
Invisible love, and if I had the strength to
Invisible love, I would get the hell away from you...
but I guess I'll just wait around to see
if you'll ever acknowledge me
maybe you don't deserve my attention
but don't I deserve some affection?
- - -
I wish that you would text me first
you know that I assume the worst
I don't want to be bugging you
but thinking 'bout yous all that I can do
I wish that you would text me first
I don't want to be that crazy girl
and I'm sick of trying to play it cool
when all I want to do is get crazy with you
I wish that you would text me first
you know that I assume the worst
I don't want to be bugging you
but thinking 'bout yous all that I can do
I wish that you would text me first
I don't want to be that crazy girl
and I'm sick of trying to play it cool
when all I want to do is get crazy with you
