Cigarette Burns
01:18
|

Chain smoking in my bedroom,
so many f-ing burn holes in my sheets,
you're lying there repping some brand I have no clue about and
I'm still groggy from my sleep.
I used to pretend that I hated you,
but it's hard when your name's a common word,
cause contrary to belief, I do believe in god,
but organized religion is absurd.
And maybe I wasn't good to you
or maybe you treated me like s-t
but there are reasons somethings just don't work out,
cause we weren't a good fit.

our silhouettes breath peacefully,
and I no longer feel the weight of the world upon my shoulders,
and I don't know what we're gonna be,
all I know is we're getting older, and older
and I'm trying not to be awkward
I'm trying not to jump to conclusions
and I'm trying to make sense of it all,
well maybe, we are just an illusion
I can't promise what we're gonna be,
but if you want you can stick around and wait n'see
and I may never fall in love,
with anything other than nicotine,
I'm sorry if I never tell you that I love you,
but you're the prettiest damn girl I've ever seen
and I'm trying not to be awkward
I'm trying not to jump to conclusions
and I'm trying to make sense of it all,
well maybe, we are just an illusion
I can't promise what we're gonna be,
but if you want you can stick around and wait n'see

Safeway Boy

well I was pretty cool in high school
but now, I ain't much to see,
but I still got my little hopes up that
one day, you'll notice me.
Safeway boy, you've been checking out my groceries
while I've been checking out you,
and Safeway boy, This is probably way too forward
but I, don't know what else to do.
And I don't even know your name
and you've got better things to do
but you're so charismatic and I f-ing see you every where
and now I don't have a clue, what to do cause
Safeway boy, you've been checking out my groceries
while I've been checking out you,
and Safeway boy, This is probably way too forward
but I, don't know what else to do.
Safeway boy, checking out my groceries,
I just want to get to know you.

Unrequited

you know that you are not my type,
but then again very few guys are,
thanks for coming back into my life,
but lets keep us how we are
cause I'd hate to leave you hanging,
on some unrequited crush
maybe we could make things work out
but there ain't no need to rush
well you have a stunning voice,
please sing indie songs with me,
well I ain't giving you no choice,
maybe after that we'll see what we will be
cause I'd hate to leave you hanging,
on some unrequited crush
maybe we could make things work out
but there ain't no need to rush
cause I'd hate to leave you hanging,
on some unrequited crush
maybe we could make something work out
but there ain't no need to rush

Keep me calm, keep me warm,
keep me safe from winter storms
Keep me close, hold me tight,
through this wicked winter night.
I don't care, where you've been,
how you've loved, or if you've sinned
Cause You're the stars, and my night sky,
blanket covering me and
I'll keep you calm, I'll keep you warm,
keep you safe from winter storms
Keep you close, I'll hold you tight,
through this wicked winter night.
Cause you don't care, where I've been,
If I've loved, or how I've sinned.
Cause You're the flower, I'm the bee,
symbiotic we will be,
We'll be calm, We'll be warm,
We'll be safe from winter storms
We'll be close, holding tight,
through this wicked winter night.
and no one cares, where we've been,
how we've love, or how we've sinned
Cause We'll be safe, and We'll be warm,
We'll be sheltered from this storm.

Prairie Summer
02:41
|

|
I cant stand the lightning or the thunder,
these loud noises make me cry.
lying downstairs on a twin sized mattresses
feeling like I'm going to die.
these prairie summer storms, make it hard to keep warm,
without someone near, oh I wish you were here.
I complain about the winter,
because it can be extreme,
-40° with a windchill,
end of the world it seems.
but these prairie summer storms, make it hard to keep warm,
without someone near, oh I wish you were here.

Playing Hard to Want

I like you,
Wait, I meant to say that I dont like you.
your friends look like vegans,
and I am a heathen, I'm killing all of their gods.
and you, you're not much better,
you in that damn maroon sweater.
you looked so good that night,
but I'd never tell you that.
I screen you all day and reply once a week
when you ask me why I say I was asleep
but I wasn't
I was ignoring you
but I don't
want you to ignore me too
maybe I could love you,
but you'd never give me the chance.
I pretend I'm not trying,
when I'm actually dying, for a chance to have one last dance
I screen you all day and reply once a week
when you ask me why I say I was asleep
but I wasn't
I was ignoring you
but I don't
want you to ignore me too
f-k you
I hate you
I don't, I just want you to think that
its easier that way.
