About a Week

I got you home just fine.
I got you home
But when I left you there,
It didn’t sit just right.
It’s the perfect crime.
We let them have it,
Let them walk away
We didn’t even mind.
We’ve seen it all
And now it’s time to go.
And we’ll forget about it
In about a week or so.
You said, “After this
I want so badly to believe,
That with it all
You’ve seen the best of me”.
It was a cloudy night.
It didn’t stop us,
But that was the worst fucking July
Of my life.
And now it’s on the rise.
Now it’s happening:
Light the fire.
Lock the door.
And close your eyes.
We’ve seen it all
And now it’s time to go.
And we’ll forget about it
In about a week or so.
You said, “After this
I want so badly to believe,
That with it all
You’ve seen the best of me”.

Dancing in the Rain

I should have learned something new,
I should have called you back,
And when you asked for my help,
I should have just held your hand.
I should have paid the rent early,
I should have brushed my teeth,
But I can’t help just thinking that you’re done with me.
Here I am,
Here I am,
Playing pretend,
And dancing in the rain.
Here I am,
Here I am,
Playing pretend,
And dancing in the rain.
Can I be the dog-ear of your favourite book?
The page the heart turns to for repeated looks.
I should have drank up your milkshake,
I should have came out clean,
and when the weight of it crushes us,
you should’ve gone to sleep.
I should be worried about the future,
I should be counting time,
I should have told you what I’m feeling for some piece of mind.
Here I am,
Here I am,
Playing pretend,
And dancing in the rain
Here I am,
Here I am,
Playing pretend,
And dancing in the rain.
Dancing in the rain.
Can I be the last bite of your favourite dessert?
The kind that just tastes so good that it physically hurts.
Can I be the dog-ear of your favourite book?
The page the heart turns to for repeated looks.
Can I be the last bite of your favourite dessert?
The kind that just tastes so good that it physically hurts.

Never did those things
We'd planned to do.
Never saw those places,
Never got to where we wanted to.
Didn't sound those horns,
Didn't follow through.
I could never say
I didn't love you.
Might disappoint you
once again.
Might feel like nothing,
It feels like nothing in the end.
I might be the stranger
Who took your friend.
I write down words,
You write down words we never send.
The sun keeps rising
Sooner everyday.
Hope it crashes into you
Like the coast gets washed away.
It comes quick,
It comes clean.
Oh, it cuts deep.
One cold winter in this city
Is long enough for me.
Never saw that town
You said you'd show.
I took myself,
Took myself away from home.
A year to wonder,
For what? We'll never know.
It's been taking time and
time's been taking it awfully slow.
The sun keeps rising
sooner everyday.
You know by then
I'll be a thousand miles away.
It came quick,
It came clean,
Before it'd ever start.
But one cold winter in this city
Is enough to break a heart.
Of all I've learnt,
Of all I know,
It was love,
It was love,
Frozen in the snow.
It's hard to swallow,
It's hard to sing,
It was love,
It was love,
Waiting for the spring.
If I could try,
If I was 21,
It was love,
It was love,
Where the colours start to run.

And I don’t want to lie,
But today I just might because
It’s getting cold out there.
I don’t want be anywhere,
Except on the edge,
No time for regrets,
On the Atlantic skyline.
Now, now, calm down.
Now now, calm down.
You know the way to move me,
You know the way to groove,
You know the way to soothe me,
When there’s nothing left to prove.
And I don’t want to fight,
But this week I just might because
I just got smashed in two.
I don’t want to be anywhere,
Except on the edge,
No time for regrets.
We live out there.
We live out there.
You know the way to move me,
You know the way to groove,
You know the way to soothe me,
When there’s nothing left to prove.
Oh my god.
It’s a lot.
To be between myself and your words.
Oh my god.
It’s a lot.
To be between myself and your words.
(We live out there)

To be between myself and your words.

The long drive home,
When your mind starts to wander off the road.
The long drive home
But I’ve got my shield,
And a thousand suns on my back.
You’re a heart attack.
It’s simple math,
But what’s wrong with that?
It’s simple math, it’s simple math
We’re superconnected.
Just know you'll never perfect it,
On the ground, on the ground.
We’re superconnected.
Just know you'll never perfect it
On the ground, on the ground.
You’re a heart attack
It’s simple math
But what’s wrong with that?
The long drive home,
When your mind starts to wander off the road.
We’re superconnected.
Just know you'll never perfect it,
On the ground, on the ground.
We’re superconnected.
Just know you'll never perfect it,
On the ground, on the ground.
We’re superconnected.
Just know you'll never perfect it,
On the ground, on the ground.
We’re superconnected.
Just know you'll never perfect it,
On the ground, on the ground.

Second Night Out
04:53

I wouldn’t give up when it hurts.
It starts to come,
so much easier than we deserve.
It’s cute when you’re stumbling over your words.
You got to sing it louder to mean something,
If you want it heard.
It’s like the first time that I’m wrong.
(We feel it kicking and screaming as we bring it to life)
She likes to stay home when they’re drunk.
(We feel it kicking and screaming every day that goes...)
By the second night out,
You’ve been wondering what I’m dreaming about.
Lay down in our bed,
You got those silly thoughts running your head.
It’s you and it’s me,
Fighting for our lives and happy to be.
I try and pick up the pace,
But you got that pretty look all over your face.
And then it hits us where it hurts.
It comes on strong,
Comes on like it’s new, but it’s not the first.
Then you start writing down my words,
You don’t believe me, but you start to see
By the second or third.
It’s like the first time that I’m wrong.
(We feel it kicking and screaming as we bring it to life)
She likes to stay home when they’re drunk.

Smile and Nod

I don’t want to be here,
But I know it’s fine to push space against itself.
We’re going off the deep end,
But I know it’s fine to sit this one out.
Get a hold of yourself,
and pull all the windows down.
I can hear you say,
"It goes on and on and on"
We’ve got to smile and nod together to get what we want.
Kick open all the windows,
with a little bit of wine.
I’ve got to ask myself, "Did I I cross the line, Did I cross the..."
We’re going off the deep end,
But I know it’s fine to sit this one out.
Get a hold of yourself,
and pull all the windows down.
I can hear you say,
"It goes on and on and on".
We’ve got to smile and nod together to get what we want.

I wrote you a tidal wave,
As it’s letters cleared a path
From coast to coast.
I thought about your smile lit up by fire’s light.
I rode to you in a jumbo plane,
For days and nights
I flew above the world.
I swear I saw you better at ten thousand feet.
When it snows on a summers night,
I know that I’m at home.
When you won’t take my coat,
I know that I’m alone.
I called for you when the lights went out,
Without a second thought
You left me in the dark.
Remember when the ground gave way,
Our feet sank in.
I told you I’d be alright,
As I hunkered down to weather out
The storm.
But I thought about your smile lit up by fires light.
When it snows on a summers night,
I know that I’m at home.
When you won’t take my coat,
I know that I’m alone.

When we Move
03:39

In this city,
She can’t sleep at night.
It’s got her wound tight;
I’ve got my problems too.
And I’ve heard
Just about every story.
Some for glory and
Some to catch the room.
When I think I want it
Nice and warm,
She knows better,
Happiest in the storm.
I just can’t see another day,
To watch her take it
From me and walk away.
And you were the lion's share,
and I grew up unaware of it.
You were the lion's share.
I don’t believe it,
When you tell me those secrets
And you do.
It takes me closer to -
You know the streets
and when you take me downtown,
I follow you.
It doesn’t stop when we move.

Never leaving home again.
When 4 meets 5 somewhere down the line,
Anxieties are multiplying.
We just go back right where we left off.

My Favourite Punchline
02:43
|

|
I’ll take whatever reprieve I can get,
Cause at this point I can’t even get out of bed.
Little pin cushion, I like the squeeze.
But I couldn’t see what's good in me.
My only way out is my way back in,
This kind of thing it just happens when you have no friends.
I’m down the road again with no shoes.
Let’s be clear, it was me who ran out on you.
And the funny part is I can’t remember a thing (remember a thing).
It’s become my favourite punch line.
Little pin cushion, I like the squeeze.
But I couldn’t see what's good in me.
My only way out is my way back in,
This kind of thing it just happens when you have no friends.
