- Airplanes
The desk where you sit inside of a
frame made of wood
I keep those chopsticks you had from when
you taught abroad in Japan
I love it all so much
I call
I want you back
- Black Balloons
I can see the words as they come out your mouth
Black balloons form into a poison cloud
Hold me down and bring me back up again
Until I can't, I can't tell the difference
Circling vultures always overhead
Force your hand
Every day is life or death
- Breakers
Waiting for
My words to catch like I'm trying
To strike a match that's soaking wet
See through skull
See through skin
Leave all the lights on
Can't see out, but they see in
- Camera Talk
We're running through the aisles
Of the churches still in style
Does this city have a curfew?
Don't you know it's good to see you too
The riders on the chan de lise
We are the tourists in the cafes
We drank our wine along the river
- Cards And Quarters
Cards and quarters means to end
Surgeon General warns against
Safe in the knowledge
Short walk back
On side of ruin
But we both laugh
- Ceilings
I haven't stopped your smoking yet
So I'll share your cigarette
Just to feel it in my fingers
Walk around 'til 3 a.m.
Tell me what I know again
To keep myself from second guessing
- Cubism Dream
She flew across the sea, we talked on a small screen
A cubism dream, the most beautiful squares I'd ever seen
The canvas was free, a gift good mother gave to me
We joked at how they talked so differently
I will never know what had rot my heart
It just came and went in the dark
I had changed into the certain kind of man
- Dark Days
Finally what you came for
Finally what you hoped to find
Racing home from her house
Looking out for black and white
Dark days in the summer
A million ways to tow the line
Can't wait holy other
- Eyes Wide
Oh some evil spirit,
Oh some evil this way comes.
They told me how they fear it,
Now they're placing it on their tongues.
Oh to see it with my own eyes.
Oh to see it with my own eyes.
- Fountain of Youth
I think we better listen to these kids
We can't keep pretending we know what we're doing
I can't keep pretending I'm afraid
If you'll sit and listen
I'll tell you a secret
We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean
- Garden Of Elysian
In the time before we needed forgiveness
You said, "Meet me after school at the top of Elysian"
Sharing headphones and a plastic bottle of vodka
In the distance, the crowd goin' wild in the stadium
Orchestra playing under the bandshell
Swaying together like cathedral bells
They ring and ring and ring and ring and ring
- Gulf Shores
Here's your gold rush, your triple cherries
Here's the moment you've waited for
Oh, I know it changing
The roots have split the pavement
The saints of teenage wildlife
Don't leave, it's dying on the vine
- Heavy Feet
Powder in your hair
Staples in your jeans
Fireworks at the water
You were holding a styro-foam cup
Held between your teeth
Telling me how you're going to outlive your body
What you said I wrote it down,
- I Saw You Close Your Eyes
Hey now, is it the dawn or the end?
The hours we talked
You wished we'd stopped
Acting like it's nothing at all
In the first act, your gun on the wall
The kick back into your
Shoulder is always hard to ignore, hey!
Even if I'm on your side
- Jellyfish
Love
I'm already ten steps ahead
Took the wrong train and I fell
Head over heels in a moment
Then you're gone
Blank stare
If you're bored, you're boring
- Lost
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
We'd run around
Night sky, heads in the clouds
All filled up, no trying
Catch pillows, all fine
- Megaton Mile
Climbing up through the window
Up to the rooftop (Up to the rooftop)
The seagulls swarm on the railroad
All we could do is watch (All we could do is watch)
Hit like a sucker punch
And let your new work come
Tell me what I could've done
Holding me close in the ending
- Mt. Washington
Face stained in the ceiling
Why does it keep saying,
I don't have to see you right now
I don't have to see you right now
Digging like you can bury
Something that cannot die
Or we could wash the dirt off our hands now
- Nova
You were going crazy in the lobby
Little champagne and you just lose your mind
Mhmm
Shaking the contents of your bloodstream
Running till the hotel hallways collide
Mm
What would we do if we have the time?
Ooh
- Past Lives
Save me
From the prime of my life
And I'll try
To carry you home tonight
Annie
Over Kansas in heels
Like a child
Laughing at endless skies
- Psycho Lovers
When the sun that covers me
I let a lifetime go
Then all we want
Is a love to lean on
And we just learned how to breathe
And L.A. falls into the sea
Then all we want is a love to lean on
- Shape Shifter
My king, I'm humbled before you, I bow
Moods like you're pulled by the moonlight, somehow
How is the language we're speaking the same?
Shape shifter have you discovered a change?
Why does the soul hallucinate? I've got control, I shift my shape
Your eyes, they swell like a riot, deranged
- Shy
Sometimes I don't understand
Why you want me to
Sometimes it takes the right plan
To get less confused
Waiting for the moment but it's never right
You lean over and whisper, "Baby, don't be shy"
Take another minute, Cara, are you sure?
Maybe I can be a mirror for your pleasure
- Stranger Things
Cold toes, new sheets
Welcomed all the same
We know if we go
It's only temporary
Went away, holiday
Wish they'd linger on
They'll think what they will
- Strong
You and I, we were always strong
It was enough to keep me on
Believe me.
And I woke up with my green eyes blue
And all I think about is you
And it feels
- Sun Hands
I climbed to the top of a hill but I had just missed the sun
And although the descending arc was gone
Left behind were the traces that always follow along
The most beautiful colors chase the sun
They wrap her trail in a taunting gesture
That seems to sing out loud, "This is what you're missing"
Ah-ah, I'll endure the night, ah-ah, for the promise of light,
- Vogue
The smartest we got, but you know the year
I sent them to a church for the hymn
I don't know what I'm looking for
What are they looking for?
You were first in a man's brains
I have a 4-track mind
Write me a letter on a humming machine
- Warning Sign
Warning sign, warning sign
I hear but I pay it no mind
Hear my voice, hear my voice
It's saying something and it's not very nice
Pay attention, pay attention
Hope you're through you and I hope you're concentrating
I've got money now, I've got money now
- We Come Back
My seat shakes, touching down
As does the cab ride on the new highway
It finally makes the familiar stop
I hear my name from inside my old house
I try to catch up; another year
Meet up on Pier Street under the heat lamps
I'm glad Danny came, I didn't call
- When Am I Gonna Lose You
Wait, when am I gonna lose you?
How will I let you slip through?
Careless or unkind?
Trace the curving on the coastline
The Santa Lucia cliffside
We'll stay here for the night
I remember you said
Everything has its place
- Who Knows Who Cares
I've been going down
Down into the river baby
Listen to the sound
It's something only god knows
You figure it out, I can't stay
Water's in the clouds
Is my life about to change?
Who knows, who cares
- Wide Eyes
Oh some evil spirit, oh some evil this way comes.
They told me how they fear it, now they're placing it on their tongues.
Oh to see it with my own eyes, oh to see it with my own eyes.
No food or water for the better part of ten months.
Quietly he sat, beneath the folds of a tree trunk.
- Wooly Mammoth
In the summer, vicious summer
This is nothing
Like I thought it would look
You say, "Who am I to blame?"
"Who am I to blame?"
Spill yourself at her feet
Stamp me out flickering
- World News
The lane next over is always faster
And you wait so long until you're so bothered
But right after you complete your merge
The lane you started in gets going
And while you wait for your luck to change
All you can think of is where you started
ooooh do-do-do-do-do .. do-do-do-do-do!
