Admit

Tell yourself it will all just be okay
Take your time and you will find there is a reason
Or hide your face and make it all just go away
It's up to you to stop complaining
Just admit when you're wrong
Be your own judge
Make your story as you go along
I'll be your friend
Let's go to the stars
We'll hold hands and melt into each other
Life is like falling on your face
Getting up and not complaining
Make yourself go outside and start the day
If you don't you'll sit around and just hesitate
Or hide your face and make it all just go away
It's up to you to stop complaining
Just admit when you're wrong
Be your own judge
Make your story as you go along
I'll be your friend
Let's go to the stars
We'll hold hands and melt into each other

Ant

I was sittin' on the steps
of the corner deli smokin' cigarettes
Damn good God I gotta quit
The owner lets me sit there
and just watch the cars
drawing in my little book
Took a while to get the respect
Why the hells my finger hurt
I guess I've been pointing out
too many things that don't make sense
All the same I gotta go
pack my bags and then I rolled
Went down to the liquor store
to do what I do best
I got home and I got stoned
then I watched a movie
Starring everything I ever thought
Oh I'm starin' at the wall
thought it was a TV screen
nothing's ever what it seems
especially when you're stressed
You were drawing pictures of
all the people that we'd seen that day
and then I called you out
you swore he wore glasses
and I disagreed
then you started kissin' me
just to try and get me to shut my mouth
I was sittin' on the roof
of my 1992
station wagon thought of you
as I stare down at my shoes
I thought if I thought hard enough
you would feel me thinkin'
and somehow get me to chill out
Remember you were mad at me
standin' near that apple tree
on that little shitty farm
Damn that was so long ago
Callin' random payphones
just to see if we could get ahold
of anyone
Then we saw that baby bird
sleeping peacefully inside the meadow
we would hang around
Damn they ate him bones and all
That's just life you said to me
I said I guess so
and went on with my day again
I got home and I got stoned
then I watched a movie
Starring everything I ever thought
Oh I'm starin' at the wall
thought it was a TV screen
nothing's ever what it seems
especially when you're stressed

Caught up in this world
A set up for a let down

Brain Goes Numb
01:44
|
|||
|
Brain gets gone
stuck on my mind
like an octopus leg
suction cupping everything I ever thought
Let's not get ahead of ourselves
Let's not fall behind
Brain goes numb
I try not to find myself
engulfed in stress
but you know how it is
It's the feeling of your dog dying
Let's not get ahead of ourselves
Let's not fall behind

Not Ah
02:27
|
|||
|
I took the trash out yesterday
and it's already piled up
what can I say
how convenient
you don't believe me
you got caught up in my head
she say's not ah
you hardly ever believe me
I hope
you do
one day
I heard you trash talk yesterday
I was thinkin' of what to say
how convenient
you don't believe me
I got caught up in my head
she say's no ah
you hardly ever believe me
I hope
you do
one day

Don't Be Afraid
01:48
|
|||
|
I know who I was
so I know who I am
but that means
I don't know who I will be
Oh no
I'm lost again
Stare at the ceiling
with eyes made of concrete
while I can barely feel my head
Oh no
I'm lost again

Underwater
02:08
|
|||
|
Speaking in tongues underwater again
Screaming at the top of my lungs in my head
Blowin' bubbles
Underwater
like I'm dyin' and nobody can help
that's something I don't get to pretend anymore
I guess I'm growin' old
cause I only take showers
Screamin' at the walls in my room again
Shakin' hands with anyone
that wants to be met
Found a dollar underwater
is it worth anything wet
I hope cause it's all that I have
I guess I'm gettin' old
cause I talk to a lot of strangers

I Know You
02:40
|
|||
|
We should lay on our backs tonight
and stare at the ceiling like a pair of shoes
and talk about the things that we've been through
and we could talk about the shows we've played
and the people that we've met
and all the different ways
that we have grown together and how we always do
I know you
like you know me
We could walk all night through the woods
and talk about the city
and the things that we've done
and how we've always thought the same things
and we could talk about the things that matter
like havin' heart when it comes to something that you love
I always took you for a renegade
I know you
like you know me

Wakin' Me Up
02:38
|
|||
|
You keep wakin' me up
tryin' to get inside my head
it's 4 in the morning
why can't I sleep in instead
There's always something going on it my mind
how much can we find out about ourselves
There's always something going on in my mind
how much can we find
I'm sick of wakin' up
tryin' to get out of my head
it's 6 in the morning
why can't I go back to sleep
There's always something going on it my mind
how much can we find out about ourselves
There's always something going on in my mind
how much can we find

Crumble
01:04
|
|||
|
Tumble with me
underneath the bed sheets
that we placed to make us feel complete
The crumbling
of the chips that I was eating
was bothering you
I wish I didn't have to eat
I wish I didn't have to sleep

Young Bull

|
I wish I could stay young forever
I wish I could stay young forever
I wish I could stay young forever
That way I could break all the rules and get away with it
I wish I would get old already
I wish I would get old already
I wish I would get old already
That way I could make all the rules and get away with them

You
02:09
|

Every little thing I see
is you
All the little tiny specks of dust in the air
is you
All the little things I do
remind me of you
Every little thing I see
is you
