"You Should Smile Less"

I spun down the end of the road
When you opened the door to have a smoke
The rain got me soaked
So I ran back inside
A sink full of red cups and empty bottles
My shoes are stuck to the floor again
And I don’t know half these people
But I love them all the same
Mesmerised by flashing lights
I think we should sleep
I think we should dance
I think it’s 3am again
I think we were happy then
The smell is enough to get me gone
So don’t come near me
We’ve done this twice this week already
Let’s make it three
Open another and keep on going
The night is young and so are we
When the suns up we are sleeping
Cos we’re only human

Learning lessons, sit next to me
I think you owed me a little bit of money
I’ve never done this but you want me to
Soon I can’t see the whole room
Chew me up and spit me out
Take what’s mine and leave me out
Lean in close and you can see
The way you control me
The dust on the furniture in your house
Makes it hard to breath out
I replicate the moves you make
To become more of a letdown
Drive me home
Dial tone
It’s not enough
I hope it isn’t
And we’re still friends
Just not in the usual sense
Everyday I thought I worked hard enough
Put it all aside for you
oh but you
Couldn’t care less what I did for you
Everyday I thought I was happy
The dust on the furniture in your house
Makes it hard to breath out
I replicate the moves you make
To become more of a letdown

Missed U

Surprise
It’s the first time in months that I’ve seen you smile
Not gonna lie
I knew you’d go until your blind
I don’t care if the drink was talking for you
It doesn’t lessen the fact that you said “I missed you”
Because I did too
I did too
Hold on tight
His arms is weak but his words are strong
The way that he fell to the floor
Dancing around the room
To the songs we danced to way back when
We were younger and wiser and didn’t look ahead
I don’t care if the drink was talking for you
It doesn’t lessen the fact that you said “I missed you”
Because I did too
I did too
Don’t cry because it’s over so soon
With a close we can look forward to something new

If I stepped outside
I know you wouldn’t be far behind
Cos you’ll be there at the places I go
But when I cross the road I want you to know
That I still think of you at night
But I haven’t cried
Art school student stretched at the seams
You know that I cannot believe
The way you look today
And the way you looked yesterday
Saw you at the station
I kept my head down and repeated the actions
I’ve gone through before just do it one more time
I’m sorry I find it hard
to move my eyes that far
But if the tables turned
Would you stand aside
Art school student stretched at the seams
You know that I cannot believe
The way you look today
And the way you looked yesterday
I’ve said that I’m sorry I think it got through
All of that time spent relying on you
Has finally found a way
I spoke to you today

another year is over
and I’m still stuck in the same old past
I know we’re getting older
but I don’t wanna grow up, grow up
come on and waste my time
I’ve already wasted most of my life
maybe i’ll age in the mean time
it’s like we’re running backward
If we were still the same why would you just give up
I feel like I’m being forward
telling you the truth
but i don’t know any other way
come on and waste my time
I’ve already wasted most of my grown life
maybe i’ll age in the mean time
but i don’t think thats possible
do you even know me anymore
do you even know me anymore
do you even know me anymore
do I even know myself

Cross the sky
Shine brighter than the satellites
Wave goodbye
Say so long before you are gone
I hope you remember to keep on going
I hope that your feet don’t touch the ground
Wave goodbye
I don’t hear what you say
Shout it louder anyway
The speed is so strong
The delays have got me waiting on
Can you hear us from below?
We’re transmitting on our stereo
Say so long before your gone
And again
There you go doing your best
Gone over my head
Don’t forget

You wanna get away but you don’t know how
It was all looking up until you looked down
The soil is dry and the grass is dead
Can’t see the clouds floating over your head
Made new friends but they’re all the same
Sitting at the side I overhear them say
That they’re getting bored of the regular days
And they wish that they weren’t always afraid
When you’re getting high remember me
I hope you see my face when you fall asleep
Hope you’re getting sad when you’re having fun
Hope I’ll be your friend when you have none
If you point the blame it will come to an end
Using super glue when you try to mend
The red in your hair and and the red on his sheets
And the red that you spot between your teeth

Harley

Roll on over, give us a smile
We can only be here for a while
You got a lot bigger since I was last here
And you’re so excited
Pick you up and you chew my sleeve
I stroke you black fur and tell you to leave
The needles are sharp but I don’t care
Why you so naughty Harley
We love you the same we love you the same
Naughty Harley
Everything’s just a game
Trying to be tame
You don’t want to go back to sleep
When we get back to give you treats
And when we walk through that door
You get so excited
I can’t wait for the summer to come
When we can go out for a run
Sniffing at the grass bellow your feet
Everone’s at your house today
You don’t know how you should behave

Game Plan
03:26

I saw the other day
The black cat got run over
I wasn’t sober
I used to hate the taste
Now I can’t get enough
It helps me feel
Helps me fall in love
When you ask me what to do with your life
Or where to find orion
I’ll look you in the face
And ask the same question
The wooden floor is where I sleep
Below your feet
Bending down to draw the line
Between what is real and what’s in my mind
I hope that Im reminded of
The time we spent on this
I saw the other day
That everyones got a game plan
I know I should
But I guess that I’m not meant to

Ink & Needles
04:02

I’m a colouring book made of ink and needles
I do what I want because nothing is real
Everyone is happy and everyone is sad
And everyone is angry when I’m doing bad
You’re a dot to dot made of broken thoughts
created by the things that your parents bought
Line for line we are both the same
But you skip the numbers so who is to blame?
I don’t want to waste my time on you
I think we should find somebody new
Trace the lines it’s all the same
Soon we will all be home again
Distant figures in the smoke
Cry out one last time as you choke
The scent is strong and I’m aware
that we’re all scared

Happy Ever After
03:11

If the pages flipped back
If we didn’t know what could happen
Well what would happen
When the clock strikes twelve
Would you shout
Or would you listen
Because time’s a reminder of what we lost
But without the sands we don’t know much
And if you cared enough to stay
Nothing would change anyway
I don’t wanna talk about it
Not that you’d listen to me anyway
But if my bones should make me feel at home
And if my head would stop shaking
And if your hands would let go of it
And if your mouth would stop questioning
The way you look at first to me and then away towards the ground
I know I do the same to you but I doubt it has the same meaning
Time stops for no mere feat
And I know that this is special
Crawling on all fours I approach the altar
And pray for happy every after
