this whole ep is a banger
flying model rockets
- Flying model rockets own the sky in the backyard next to mine / I get these strange phone calls at night with no one on the other side / My brother's friend explains to me with breathless words and bloody knees / It's a black eyed trust, respect with pain. / A love I'll learn when I've been through the same.
- But there's nothing in California that you could not learn to hate here / The questions will all still be waiting for you, the answers will only be less clear / It's hard to say what I would do if I was back a year or two / Look at our plans, try to understand what could have happened to all of them.
lipstick covered magnet
- Love how you disagree / To tell me that I'm wrong / When every bone is healed / And every stitch is sewn
- I've got some words to share / But she don't like my tone / I've got some words to share / She won't pick up her phone
- She's got some medicine / She's choking on the pills / She shouldn't feel this way / A lack of social skills
- And I'm gonna get on my knees / Would you kick me in the face please? / It'll make whatever I say sound like poetry / And as my gums begin to bleed / The words will fall like teeth / And whatever we have locked up now is free
- You're talking with your friends / Secrets they'll never keep / They're sitting on your bed / And all you want is sleep
- Pretend that this is fake / It helps to kill the pain / All that you want is different / All that you'll get is same
- There's nothing more to say / I think I've said it all / I'm sitting on the edge / I'm waiting for the fall
- I'll check my messages / They'll say you wanna fight / I'm turning off my phone / How high were you last night?
12 feet deep (im high rn and wanna swim so bad)
- 'Cause you are water twelve feet deep / And I am boots made of concrete / We'll wear cool clothes that show some skin, / Flash a fake, so we'll both get in / Now we're dancing, we're so drunk / I am so cool, we are so punk
- And yes, we can keep living like this. / As long as you're here I will live like this.
- Since when did— / Since when did "I wanna hear your voice" not become a good excuse? / Calling you three in the morning, laugh at sleep that we'll both lose / Maybe college won't work out, I can come sleep on your couch
- You're all I need but I am pretty sure your parents will never see / I'll let it be, 'cause it was never meant to be / I'll let it be.
- I get left out, I get left out of every plan they make / That is what I have to do / To be the only kid from high school who is still in love with you
jim bogart
- I would sleep better on your floor / than I would ever in my bed / And if your carpet makes my face itch / It'd still be heaven in my head
- I would play more than just four chords / If it's a song that you might like / But I am not very good / So I would practice every night
- And she said, "Sometimes, things just don't work out the way you want them to, / Sometimes things just don't work out the way they should flow through, / Sometimes things just don't work out the way you want them to, / Sometimes things just don't work out, it's better me than it is you."
- "Break your neck, and I will love you like a bird that cannot fly. You will be fine," / And she says, "Break your neck, and I will love you every night. You will be mine."
- I would stop doing all those things the doctor tells me not to do / But I don't think he understands, I do all of these things for you / And you've got gold plastic on your shelf that they gave to everybody else / And you can say it says your name but I don't think that that would help
- And today we can do something that we've never done before / Done before
be nice to me
- I got boulders on my shoulders / Collarbones begin to crack / There is very little left of me / And it's never coming back / There are certain things you ask of me / And there are certain things I lack / In the beginning, we were winning / But now I'm just making up facts
- What's it matter anymore? / If you believe the lies I tell There's no meaning to the words / But we still sing these songs well / If we all left it alone / I'm sure it'd work itself out fine / We keep playing with the numbers / We are running out of time / We are running, we are running
- But you're a killer / And I'm your best friend / Think it's unfair, your situation / You say I'm changing / Sorry, I didn't know I had to stay the same / Could we talk about this later? / Your voice is driving me, driving me insane
- Well, I try to write you poems, but the words, they don't make sense / My hand tries to grip the pencil, but the fingers are too tense / And I try to show emotion, but my eyes won't seem to wet / And I'd love to tell you stories, but I can't remember how they went / You're a flashlight in a dark room for the loneliest blackout / You were all we had left after it all was filtered out / Turn you on in a dark room right before we both pass out / Turn you on when I need you, but the batteries ran out
- They ran out and you're a werewolf and I'm a full moon / And all your very worst enemies will be gone soon / I think you're changing / Don't worry, you don't gotta stay the same / Could we talk about this later? / Your voice is driving me, driving me insane
-
awkward conversations
- Awkward situations followed by awkward hugs / And these bullshit conversations take what little air is left inside my / Nothing but I'm writing like I've had too much to drink / Letting go of what we lost / Come to terms of how you think of me
- And I love what you've done, you cut all ties / You turned and run / You build me up, you take your fall / You led us straight into a wall
- And I'll say, "I personally think it's too cold to have the windows open, / but you want to smoke your menthol cigarettes."
- You might be leading now but there is no way you could ever win / When you have absolutely no control over any of the situations / That you put yourself in
- And I wish I could pretend to be / All of the things you think you see in me / But I am not that guy, that guy just left / He had his collar up and there was smoke on his breath
- And we have these parties for the way it was / But once the booze is gone, is it worth the buzz? / Because I've got some problems and I'm talking loud / And all your friends are here so word will get out that
