Gasoline

your jacket smelled like gasoline
take me places in between
i haven't felt like this in a while.
break me down and breathe me in, oh take me
take me out and i'll give in, oh take me
take me out and i'll give in.
we're living like you in the summer
i could live like you too, if i could catch your number
and i don't know who, but you made it better.
yeah, you made it better.

Glasgow

glasgow, if i ever let you go (run it 'til your broke)
and don't call your parents.
don't call your parents.
glasgow, if you ever let me know (if you ever let me know)
i'd like to say it shows a lot about you.
lay your head amongst the masses
you don't fit here, you don't fit here anymore.
get caught between the hours
break your car and break your glasses
say things aren't the way they were before.
glasgow, far away from all your problems (closer to your lovers)
from where you are but even further.
guess it's all about you.
and glasgow, i like it when it snows (when your eyes can't see the roads)
as you swear you never saw him.

Lemons

let me set the scenario
skinny dipping at night before we go
break me, turn up the stereo
flashing until we explode
give me all you've got, give me everything
i wanna see what's underneath
i wanna see what's underneath
give it up or go home, i wanna see you be known
we're gonna be famous someday
we're gonna be famous someday
i wanna drown by the poolside
consuming lemons until we die
feeling larger, saying goodbye
to everyone that we left behind
you go home, tell them you'll be gone all night
you go home, tell them that you'll be alright
let me set the scenario
skinny dipping at night before we go
break me, turn up the stereo
flashing until we explode

Coloured Turpentine
02:23
|

|
wash myself in coloured turpentine
feel it running down my inner thigh
i wonder if it hurts like this every time
or am i doing something wrong?
i took a shower at a friend's house
i spent a night on his pullout couch
i lost the thread of what we talked about
but i didn't sleep and i keep having thoughts about you
i'm tumbling down the stairs as you fall out of my view
the strongest of detergents won't do.
i've been grinding at my teeth all night
wash it down with coca cola light
maybe i will lose my appetite
and look like the models that end up cold
growing flowers deep inside my lungs
i can't breathe but they are beautiful
see the petal at the tip of my tongue
i'm folding myself in half in the parking lot, turning blue
i'm tumbling down the stairs as we fall out of my view
the strongest of detergents won't burn off the skin that i wanted
i want everything erased.
i am lost in your translations and i can barely stand your face
i wanna see you be tough
i wanna see you be brave
i wanna see you be tough
i wanna see you be brave

Codependency
02:07
|
|||
|
your phone lights up your face in the dark
and it reminds me of how distant we are
and i've been thinking lately on how much i'm faking
why don't we sort this out?
why don't you say it to my face?
facing defeat is never too easy
i hope and i pray to god that you hear me out
codependency lasts for a lifetime
what changes is the anchor
tonight, can we have a moment to ourselves?
i just wanna know if you're doing well
going back on the things that i've said
can you trust me now? can you trust me now?
your phone lights up your face in the dark
as i'm falling in love in the backseat of your car
picturing all the places we'd go to, even if they weren't that far.
i remember when you came back inside, smell of smoke on your jacket
and just for a moment i had it figured out
codependency lasts for a lifetime
what changes is what matters
tonight, can we have a moment to ourselves?
i just wanna know if you're doing well
going back on the things that i've said
can you trust me now? can you trust me now?
i fell asleep with the image in my head
of an empty house with a double bed
but now my wishes are simpler than that
can you trust me now? can you trust me now?
your phone lights up your face in the dark.

Rooftop

i don't know how we got here
but let's take it to an end
and i don't know why i'm like this
but what has has been.
you don't have to tell me
that i've made mistakes
please just believe me
when i try to redeem myself.
so scream it from the rooftops
i'll stand right here
waiting for you to come down, oh please my dear
it's just a game, are you not ready to play?

Dad Caps

set me off, i know i do
and if we start from the top, does that mean that i lose?
nothing ever comes to mind
when you remind me of the times we spent together that were fun.
and even if you let your imagination run, it doesn't mean it happened
and even if you make things up, it doesn't mean that i am glad to pick up phone calls at 3am just 'cause you were bored while
hearing your friends laugh as you mumble on how you have to go.
you can shake your head all you want
but you won't come close
you can bring all you've got but you won't get a clear shot
i've got nothing to lose
it's not me or you
i've just got so much else to do.
hear me out
i am quite soft
and if i taste the ground, does that mean that i lost?
fuck off honestly, i know you call me your bestie, but you message me like once a month.
and even if you let your imagination run, it doesn't mean it happened
and even if you make things up, we're only friends because i have to pick you up when you've fallen down, stay up until sunrise
only for you to realise that "she's not your type".
you can shake your head all you want
but you won't come close
you can bring all you've got but you won't get a clear shot
i've got nothing to lose
it's not me or you
i've just got so much else to do.

Springtime
01:09

you look so cool the way you wear that fake smile
i kinda like it but it doesn't feel right
i want to know you but you don't want to know me
go and tell all your friends that you can stay
see it blooming, that's what i call springtime
you hit me up again when i am done
i still think about you but it's not in that way
would have called you but you said you were busy
i don't wanna go, can i stay at home?
i don't wanna go now
i don't wanna go, can i stay at home?
i don't wanna go now
see it blooming, that's what i call springtime
you hit me up again when i am done
i still think about you but it's not in that way
would have called you but you said you were busy

Mum's House
03:06

i'll meet you at your mum's house
i'm running late and i haven't gotten clothes on
now i'm rushing, i'm scared for you to go now
i'm so scared of being alone now
we sit across the table, coffee in hand, i ask you how your day's been
and as you talk, your mum walks in to ask you if you're packed and ready to go.
i'm gonna spend all summer working for a paycheck
get me to your college, walk up to your complex
bring a couple flowers, some of which you might like
i'll stay in your shower for the rest of my life
could we go hang in your room?
i wanna stare at the ceiling like we used to that one summer when we discovered caffeine
i think we were only thirteen
it reminds me of the first time that we went to watch a movie, just you and me
and i was excited to hold your hand because i saw it in my sleep
i remember kissing you in the parking lot after some school dance until we couldn't stop and we laughed about it 'til you got picked up
i'm gonna miss you when you're gone.
i'm gonna spend all summer working for a paycheck
get me to your college, walk up to your complex
bring a couple flowers, some of which you might like
i'll stay in your shower for the rest of my life
would you forget about me if you ever came back?
keep a picture of you inside of my backpack
i'll stay on the sofa, wishing you were with me
hugging all my pillows for the rest of the night, for the rest of my life.
