Soda Can

Give me the innocence of soda in a can
Stand up straight and fight like a man
Give me the strength, don't hand me the blame
Hand me the light and I'll set myself to flames
You always said "go and get yourself a job"
You liked it best when we didn't get along
Just hold your breath, don't let the water in
Watch where you aim that thing, not at your chin
Cause you know, you know you like it better when you're alive
You know, you know they don't mean to make you cry
And you know, you know you like it better when you can lie
You're fine, you don't mind, just decline
It's not their lives out there on the line
Give me a taste of something new
Give me a taste that reminds me of you
Can't see the light, so how am I through

Yellow

You said that I should go
Find myself in yellow
Stand up on tipsy toes
Stare outside my window
But I can’t see past my
Contemporary mind
Waiting for stars to line
Show me the place in the desert where I’ll find the shade
I want a pool where the swimmers all call me by name
Take me somewhere where the wind blows the thoughts from my brain
She said if we sit in the sun then our bruises will fade away
You said that I should go
Teach myself to drive slow
Be like blue water, flow
Learn from the trees and grow
But I can't see through my
Fucking compliant eyes
Waiting for stars to line
You said
Please stay

Old Bones

Why don't you tell me the truth
Cause I'm getting sick of the moonlit conversations about anything but what's on our mind's now
Why don't I tell you the truth?
Cause I've been waking up with a memory of you pressed against my lips
But I swore that I'd grow new skin
But how do I grow new skin with old bones?
Why don't you take the time to understand my pathetic lies?
Like when I say "I'm fine"
Cause I swore that I'd grow new skin
But how do I grow new skin with old bones

Perfume

|
Let me show you
What you're missing
Cause I'm here just missing you
Let me feel you
Through the atmosphere
Let me show you
What I'm thinking
When I'm up all night with your perfume
I don't recognize your face anymore

Sunburnt

You said "hold on, the world will change for you tonight"
I hope you like the person I've become with fright
She said "you've gotta take a chance for me"
She said "let go of our history"
You said "we've got time to kill, let's get lost in the sun tonight"
I feel just like throwing up my guts
Skins red, face peeling off
I like your look in the sun
Skin's hot
Take that bikini off
You're tan, I'm burnt by the sun
Head hurts
My skin is falling off
We've got nothing going for us today
I think about you often
She said "why won't you be your destiny"
She said "why won't you be the hope we need"
Won't you be my sunburn tonight

Beneath You
04:16
|
|||
|
I fly past the moon
I die in the afternoon
And I lie straight through my teeth
Cause I'm high gotta take a seat
Beneath you
You said "please stay"
My heart's racing
Fill up my bed
With your hatred

Turning Blue
04:31
|
|||
|
I said that I want to
Make holes in my new shoes
Discover everything
Revive retired dreams
You said you said that’s not a plan
It’s just an empty promise held in emptier hands
In that case, what’s the use
Of buying brand new shoes
Wake up and look around you
Can’t you tell you’re turning blue
Let’s drive to somewheres new
Figure out what happened to you
I said that we should talk you’re tired of walking let's just sit down and wait
You said you said you said you said you’re tired of me
Why don’t we pick a spot
Freak out or just get lost
Rewrite our lives as books
Choose lives that no one would
You said you said that’s not a plan
It’s a vase full of wishes
Slipping out of your hands

Backseat
07:02
|
|||
|
We need to talk
So now we're just driving around, chasing the edge of the town in your car
And all the objects in the mirror are getting nearer and nearer
I've got my eyes on the night and we've got a long road ahead
My brain is in the backseat tryna tell me that our GPS is dead
And my heart is under the hood
And it's engine isn't looking too good
I think I might need a jumpstart
I'm looking for a spark to keep me alive
I need someone to drive me home
Someone to drive me home
Tonight
You said "we don't have to be alone"
You said "baby, can you drive me home"
So now the car is parked and the mirrors are fogged up
Windows are down and we're yelling so loud let's start
I still see you
In my rearview
I still see you
I still see you
