My love can we stay in, can we lay in bed today the world is gray My love I got nothing fool’s rush in while we watch the world burn down Girl, we’ll embrace while empires fall here under these Jackson Pollock sheets We can’t go back to the way we were before My love have you heard yet little bird said the wall went up My love necessary ‘cause they’re scary and we’re tough Girl, we’ll embrace while empires fall here under these Jackson Pollock sheets We can’t go back to the way we were before My love it’s a Lost Cause and they won’t pause but the monuments will fall My love be patient annihilation could be near Girl, we’ll embrace while empires fall here under these Jackson Pollock sheets We can’t go back to the way we were before

Papercut 03:46
On my way, where I'm going isn't clear today I'm ok all the baggage weighs me down I'm afraid My life's clay my head is weary but I'm hoping to change You better take this up with your friends I hear they're talking smack again Behind my back again I own the fact that I misled you Everything I bet you Was lost Now the lies infect you I never wanna be the paper cut and salty wound Time to bounce On my way, where I'm going isn't clear today I'm ok, all the baggage weighs me down I'm afraid My life's clay my head is weary but I'm hoping to change I met you playing in the garden Knew you were a martyr A serial broken hearter When I said I wasn't gonna do this And you promised me You wouldn't let it happen again On my way, where I'm going isn't clear today I'm ok, all the baggage weighs me down I'm afraid My life's clay my head is weary but I'm hoping to change The truth will set you free or hang you high Cardinal sins or capital crimes I never wanna be the paper cut and salty wound Time to bounce

Ghosted 03:38
You were lucky you got out when you did I wasn't so fortunate You couldn't match my sentimentality: compliments were never easy for you, giving or receiving I've been ghosted You said you'd keep me posted Suspended and spit-roasted Permanent waiting room guest-hosted I've been ghosted I'm a profligate spender when it comes to affection I should be a miser for my own protection If I knew it was the last kiss I would have worked a little harder Now I have to choke all the life out of my ardor I've been ghosted You said you'd keep me posted Suspended and spit-roasted Permanent waiting room guest-hosted I've been ghosted Oh, love, what have you done? You gave me more than anyone Why can't you take away my pain too? I'm always good at the coming part, not so good at leaving My heart is still pumping but I'm not (barely) breathing You were Anaïs girl But you had sharp edges I gracefully bowed out at the party 'cause of one of your exes I've been ghosted You said you'd keep me posted Suspended and spit-roasted Permanent waiting room guest-hosted I've been ghosted

It’s my informed opinion that we spend too much time Lookin’ for another person to be a perfect rhyme In this song and dance, we dream alone and wait with bated breath For a literary love and a cinematic death (repeat) It was a rarified June evening when I first met that girl She was dancing at the Volstead all eyes were on her I drank my liquid courage put a steady on my stride If I failed to charm her well, at least I know I tried (repeat) I asked her who she was and she smiled and she demurred “You’ve read about me in the papers, believe all that you heard.” I joked and she’d slayed many she captured in her trap She laughed and said “you’ll find them in the Del’ware Water Gap” (repeat)—intro I said, “Let’s go to your place.” She said “I’m just passing through. But my car’s around the corner if that’s alright with you.” I asked for her name and she took too long to say, “It’s the dead of winter, but you can call me May.” (repeat) We drove through that ridge of mountains that spilled into The Delaware Water Gap, we just talked the whole we through About life and love and loss and the places that we knew Then she saw lights flashing in her rearview (repeat) May pulled the car over…it was a routine traffic stop Officer said, “Ma’am, looks like your light’s out.” Cop he took her license came back and said “hands up” He went around the back that’s when he found me in the trunk—intro (repeat) She made a sudden grab for a gun under the seat She flung around and shot the cop, he folded in the street She put him in the trunk and I had company Drove to the Del’ware Water Gap and heaved us in the reeds (repeat) It’s my informed opinion that we spend too much time Lookin’ for another person to be a perfect rhyme In this song and dance, we dream alone and wait with bated breath For a literary love and a cinematic death (repeat)—intro

I really liked myself without you but I missed you more than air and I finally learned how to stand alone in an inhospitable place even at my best, I missed your face You were always there you never really left I was on your mind as much as you were on mine but If you never would have left, I never would have changed (repeat) All our old friends seem to be scarce when things got bad its true but I don’t hold it against them we’re all just trying to get through You were always there you never really left I was on your mind as much as you were on mine but If you never would have left, I never would have changed (repeat) When I watched you live your life from afar you seemed invincible w\ere you also hoping I could come back again You were always there you never really left I was on your mind as much as you were on mine but If you never would have left, I never would have changed (repeat) I really liked myself without you but I missed you more than air

Will you find happiness Buried deep in a book Erudite and so polite with your Come-hither looks Will you find me in mind And a spring in your step Take me down and show me around To where your secrets are kept Just remember our stars are the same Swimming blindly in space Just remember, arrive with your hope and your heart Is a wide-open place Time unwinds like a predictable crime And the months and the years slip away Last time you called you said it all When you had nothing to say Back in your old cul-de-sac You’ll groom whoever you get Safe and sound, you’ll settle down And rue the day that we met Just remember our stars are the same Swimming blindly in space Just remember, arrive with your hope and your heart Is a wide-open place So bright and small Hope conquers all There’s an art to a lonesome heart And it hangs in your room Far too flung is where you’re from, will I See you there soon? Will you find me in mind And a smile on your face Or pass me around like a thrift-store crown The one you’ll never replace Just remember our stars are the same Swimming blindly in space Just remember, arrive with your hope and your heart Is a wide-open place, wide-open place, a wide-open place
