I Get High

I get high
Find a view
Nothing better to do When it’s just me For company
It’s easiest to be Cause I exist
And I exert I need a kiss And some dessert
I’d like a dog
And to break my phone Out there’s exciting
But there’s no place like home
I get high
Find a view
Imagine myself one day inviting you To join me
Keep company
Oh what a way to be
Oh what a way Oh what a way Oh what a way Oh what a way
I get high
And find a view
One day I could invite you

Lighter

I always wonder what do you find
Whenever you close both of your eyes
I kept it honest you kept your lie
Way back in August I borrowed your light
You’d say, “do you even try to see how you took what’s mine?” And I’d say, “I don’t think you’re right
but here you can have your light”
You joke and ask if if I come here often Something you would joke about with a friend Time after time the heart needs a mend Thought I was ready but now I just pretend
You’d say, “do you even try to remember the good times?”
And I’d say, “only every night when I’m still without your light”
Well I’m still without your light

A Lot to Ask
02:38
|
|||
I could never give it a name Hand it off and you press play Turn my back and look away Deal with it a different day
Hold my hand but I hate to ask
Who’s the one who makes you laugh? We used to be good at doing that Nothing’s funny in this aftermath
I could show you if you wanted me to
I could tell you if you asked I don’t mean to come off like this but Being myself’s a lot to ask
I know it’s a lot to ask
I know it’s a lot to ask

That's Life Honey
03:02

The ocean needs no one to blame
It’s the master of beautiful rage
I’m the master of inexplicable shame Write it down and rewire my brain
Well I wanted to
But I don’t have the money So I make do
Well that’s life, honey
If I were to die by volcano
I’d be laughing at the irony
Bottle it up and you will surely explode You’d say why didn’t you tell me
And I’d say
Well I wanted to
But couldn’t figure how
My burdens
Should become yours now
Swear I wanted to
Practiced when I was alone I found an excuse
I hate talking on the phone
If I were to die by volcano
I’d be laughing at the irony
I’d figure out how to rewire my brain If only I had the money

Not Today
03:30
|
|||
Woke up from a dream, a dream, a dream, a dream with you in it
Knew I was awake but I tried to go back for a minute
Then my pillowcase, and my face, were wet from tears
But lucky for me I know it gets easier each year I wanna let it go (did you see what day it is?)
Could I let it go (guess todays not the day, is it?) I try to let it go (did you see what day it is?) Like how you let it go (guess todays not it)
I head for the coast I’ve got to spend time away
My brain is a mess, a mess, a mess, especially today And it isn’t long before I’m thinking again
‘Bout how in my dream state I’m grieving a friend
I wanna let it go (did you see what day it is?)
Could I let it go (guess todays not the day, is it?) I try to let it go (did you see what day it is?)
I couldn’t let it go (guess todays not it)
Woke up from a dream, a dream, a dream, a dream with you in it

Charlotte

Charlotte may I have this dance
Do you remember how it felt to take a chance? Well I remember how it all felt then
Fifty some years, still my best friend
Charlotte we raised two great kids
A boy and a girl, loved them more than the world did And the lord, as he must
Have them one day bury us
I’ll feed you when you want it
No better love sonnet
Has been written than what we wrote
I’ll carry you like you wanted
You would do the same, I don’t doubt it No better love than ours we wrote

The Floor
02:39
|
|||
Found myself in the self help aisle
Wonder why do we hide from our own trash pile When one door closes what’s that you’d say Hope they don’t turn the other way
Now that I have the floor I want nothing more Than to open the door
That I shut before
Stuck like glue your words are caught
Can ya get them out if you were never taught When one door closes on a future
I will know not to turn away
Now that I have the floor I want nothing more Than to open the door
That I shut before
Well when we’d begun You were number one You were the homerun
Well a trip round the sun A love filled with fun
Wish it for everyone

Big Fan
03:29
|
|||
I’m not sure if you have other plans
I’d empty whatever's in my hands
I tell myself that’s just who I am
You tell yourself you’re your biggest fan
I’m in my groove
Made my last move
A lot less blue
Hope the same for you is true
I wondered just how this would be
I don’t do friendship conditionally
Maybe on this we would agree
The fruit doesn’t fall too far from the tree
I’m in my groove
Made my last move
A lot less blue
Hope the same for you is true

Didn't I
05:00
|

I don’t have the answers I have memories Sitting by the gutter Discussing eternity
When did the time go by Talking lucid dreams Wondering if we’ve ever Known what it all means
Maybe things are just as they seem We’re living in someone’s bad dream
Finally told you what I was feeling
I felt it in the evening I felt it at dawn Hear it in your voicemail greeting Even after you’re gone
Left me with much to wonder
Have I wondered this before
If I have but can’t remember
One day I won’t wonder anymore
Maybe things are just as they seem I’ll see you in the next dream Finally told you what I was feeling
didn’t I?

Model Homes
03:34
|
|||
Walking around late at night In the artificial light
I no longer want to hide
Share my secrets I just might
I might
Play pretend in model homes
Acting like this one’s our own
We don’t say but we both know
Deep down there’s always more to show
You know
Do ya know?
Luck will find you
I swear she’s open late
Praying to the sidewalk like it holds my fate Scream into the gutter so it knows my name
