PLACES

Laminate floors and paper halls
With every step you hold the wall
A parapet across your biggest fears
Never to forget what happened year
Scratch some words into the wood of your door
Illuminate the room with the light on your phone
Find a map of the world that you used
A a way to prove you’re far too small
To become a cliche
Cause I’d do it if I could
Walking around the neighbourhood
All the faces misunderstood
All the houses of old exes
All the houses that I slept in
All the places secrets kept in
Fade away
Fade away
You’d answer an errant call
A picture kept, a sweater worn
An esoteric lifetime disappears
The dreams that you forgot but once revere
No one will notice, no one will mind
You never had a choice, but now its all fine
All the things you do will change the world of your past
All the consequences your life will outlast
Cause I’d do it if I could
So you’re feeling sentimental
So you feel a little blue
Walking around the neighbourhood
So you need me to come and hold you
All the faces misunderstood
So you had a breakthrough
So you’re all good now
All the houses of old exes
So you’re all fine to go to the function
All the houses that I slept in
So you had a breakdown
So you’ve gotta stay home
All the places secrets kept in
So you think you’ll never be the same
Fade away
So you’re all good now
So you’re not good now
Fade away
So you’re all good, you’re all good, you’re all good?
A letter to the places where you knew me
A better way to live vicarious through the
Domestic paradise of going forty
For the first time
I’ll sit at the broken table and write a movie
All the houses of old exes
All about the places that you showed me
All the houses that I slept in
We can go off script knowing what you know now
All the places secrets kept in fade away
Where we would be, had we ever known how
Love always came so easy for you, didn’t it?
Don’t you think?

Hold me back with kid gloves
Tell it like it once was
Tell me what’s the point of showing up if nothing’s for us
Maybe we’re alone, maybe nothing really matters
Or maybe I’m an asshole
With a flair for the dra- “Oh, god”
Superglue on both my thumbs, I never learn my lesson
Tried to tell you sooner but I left it on the dresser
Painted nails and superstars
Never meant to get this far
Sitting by the corner store with nothing but attention
Attention, looking for attention
Waiting for the mention, growing apprehension
Stop, turn around, take a dive and take a bow
Everything is different now
Everything is different now
Hold me back with kid gloves
Tell it like it once was
Tell me what’s the point of showing up if nothing’s for us
Maybe we’re alone, maybe nothing really matters
Or maybe I’m an asshole with a flair for the dramatic
But all I know is
Pay attention
Everyone is watching you
It’ll all get better now
But are you ready now?
Are you ready now?
I keep on ending up in situations that I’ll make the worst of
You call me pessimistic, cynicism took your first love
Saw a shitty youtube video, called me a nervous wreck
And now I’m god’s given gift
For keeping the whole world in check
Hold me back with kid gloves
Tell it like it once was
Tell me what’s the point of showing up if nothing’s for us
Maybe we’re alone, maybe nothing really matters
Or maybe I’m an asshole with a flair for the dramatic
Hold me up with velcro and tie me to the tarmac
Well aware that all my friends are thinking
“Fuck, another act”
I wanna die but only for about a year
At least until the smoke clears
(At least until the smoke clears)
They’re not in love anymore
They’re not in love anymore
They’re not in love anymore
They’re not in love anymore
They’re not in love anymore
They’re not in love anymore
They’re not in love anymore
They’re not in love anymore

Anxious People

I think I’m dying
I think it’s more than just a cold
I think I’ve run out of ideas
And I can’t seem to stay composed
Let’s all stop trying
Let’s all quit our jobs, let’s fold
So I can say it’s not just me
Who feels like giving up completely, ‘cause
I can see
All of the anxious people
On the roof where they feel pins and needles
And the loneliness is terrifying
And it all feels the same
As when I’m out for a drink with you
And making conversation in vain
Every topic is the same
Should’ve guessed you’d never change
How’s it goin’?
Whatcha doin’?
What’s your occupation?
Do you have your own opinion?
Are you terrified to cause an escalation?
I can see
All of the nervous children
With their eyes all dreamy and unfocused
Reaching out for their mothers
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
I can see
And it all feels the same
All of the anxious people
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
All of the nervous children
And it all feels the same
Reaching out for each other
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
And it it all feels
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
And it all feels the same
It all just feels the same

Today I thought it all was gonna end
It didn’t
It didn’t
The doctor said I’m gonna make it
And quit it
And quit it
The season 3 naivety
The place we found under the trees
Oh God, it makes no difference to me
It ain’t no difference to me
Pick me up from John and Forsythe
There’s a bone between your teeth
And a flyer for a therapist
Beneath your middle seat
Pull the blade from out my shoulder
You’re the dancing matador
I just don’t know who to write these love songs about anymore
Makes no difference to me
Oh God, it makes no difference to me
Oh God, it makes no difference to me

I see the sun setting through the floor
I’ll meet you when the darkness settles more
We’ll dance and sing and say goodnight too early
I’ll dance and say goodnight
And you won’t have to worry

Love always came so easy for you, didn’t it?
Don’t you think?
You’d like to find a quiet place to rest before you die
In an arms race with yourself
And it always makes me cry
I think about you every day
And it sometimes feels like I can hear
A little voice inside my ear
And it sounds a lot like you
For all the times you’d move away
In the search for something new
Without a care for all the shit you said
And the plans you always blew
Off for the greener grass
To live a life that’s better than your own
And you’d come back home to me and say
You didn’t know how good you had it
And swear you’ve grown
Love always came so easy for you, didn’t it?
Don’t you think?
So you’re feeling sentimental
So you feel a little blue
So you need me to come and hold you
So you had a breakthrough
So you’re all good now
So you’re all fine to go to the function
So you had a breakdown
So you’ve gotta stay home
So you think you’ll never be the same
So you’re all good now
So you’re not good now
So you’re all good, you’re all good, you’re all good?
Love always came so easy for you, didn’t it?
Don’t you think?
Love always came so easy for you, didn’t it?
Don’t you think?
Love always came so easy for you, didn’t it?
Don’t you think?
Love always came so easy for you, didn’t it?
Don’t you think?
Love came easy for you
