Take Me 03:56
I shouldn't have to dress anachronistically to fit in I tell ya, something about these times Given enough time nothing remains sacred See the likeness of Jesus Himself Take me somewhere I'll get lost With someone I don't know The Alamo is now a storage company for your junk Franklin and Hancock sell insurance Someday "Obama" will pick you up at any airport you like Or manage your stock portfolio Take me somewhere I'll get lost With someone I don't know Take me Find me a place with a deadbolt, four walls and no windows Get me a hole to be sick in Help me to unlearn to read so when I walk through downtown I'm oblivious to it all Take me somewhere I'll get lost With someone I don't know Take me

Lovers' tryst It's over at dawn And then I leave To write you this song I'll bring my suit For the hospital And when I leave You won't care at all Just as long as you're cordial Just as long as you don't care At all Lovers' tryst I'm out of your hair I'll be out by 5 Don't forget not to care Check your Tinder For the cutest guys Though I'm next to you Just avoid my eyes Just as long as you're cordial Just as long as you don't care At all

Stay Awake 02:14
And finally when the sound of passing cars wakes me up in the morning and I see your tired face, it's the first thing I see And sometimes the sun sneaks by that little opening in your dark curtains and your face obtains a halo Sometimes I lay there and wonder why or how or what I did to earn your love And when I say "love" I keep it to myself because I know you don't believe in it But I know you believe in me and that makes me stronger, it makes me want to live longer and love you forever, it makes me feel lucky that only I can place my lips on yours and only I am allowed to protect you And we both know that sometimes storms will sneak by that little opening in your dark curtains, sometimes storms will force us to pull up anchors and sail to shore, but we can weather and weather no matter how far from shore or how unsure we might be There's an old lighthouse and it looks over our city and it tells us that is is our home At least for now Unless we pack up and ship up and ship out and hope that we're on the same boat so that we can still weather these storms

Everyone's in the same existential boat, even if they've picked their god Everyone's visited right before they sleep with the prospect of the void The void, the void And that's enough to make me love even those I don't know Don't know, don't know And yet I don't know any more than when I began Everyone's close to getting out but ends up pinned beneath the earth Everyone starts their journey and ends up like Floyd Collins in the void The void, the void And that's enough to make me love even those I don't know Don't know, don't know And yet I don't know any more than when I began Pinning my leg down, keeping me underground is the unresolvable doubt The tunnel collapses, help comes four days too late, I'm left to face the void The void, the void And that's enough to make me love even those I don't know Don't know, don't know And yet I don't know any more than when I began

Couch outside Underneath the stars The wind blew in your hair and your eyes Pushing the clouds away And pushing the glaze away And I'll stare at you and hold you Bite my tongue Tell my friends that I'm done With being loner And being a loser But it runs in my family And don't you know she completes me The couch outside Where we sat after finals Where I held you and all your fears About the nighttime The couch outside It held our insides And bite my tongue Tell my friends that I'm done With being a loser Though it runs in the family Don't you bother Seeking approval 'Cause I'm all that you have now

No I can't Always tell you What's on my mind And what's on my tongue No I can't Always explain How I love you And how I'm feeling Because sometimes I lose myself in your eyes No you're not like All the other girls No you're not like You're not like them And I wish I could tell you Despite all The wandering thoughts And I hope That my ADD Will let me Focus on us Long enough for me To not lose my words When I look in your eyes No you're not like All the other girls No you're not like You're not like them Thank God you're not like them
