On The Run
02:50
|
|||
we check into hotels
just to see if I can pay
put it on my tab, dear
cry about it another day
debt's overflowing
and the bank is calling me
I think that’s my cue now
I think I should leave, cause
[Chorus]
I’m on the run
I’m on the run
I’m on the run
while I’m still young
I’m on the run
I’m on the run
I’m on the run
cut out my tongue
I’m on the run
I’m on the run
I hear your gun
It goes, it goes, it goes, it goes
I’m sleeping sideways
I take sleep for the pain
wake up at midnight
and do it all again.
and I can’t separate
fiction from reality,
it all looks like the
same sort of tragedy
take my money
and I’ll take yours
but know that mine can’t
be used in stores cause
[Chorus]
streetlights
your eyes
dance to
waste time
why did I leave you at all?
best friend
pretend
I’m in
your bed
why did I leave you at all?

Sarah
02:42
|

kids born in 2000 are legal
and no one went out to see the sequel
and I keep running into the people
that I used to know
nobody remembers the beatles
and everything turned out to be evil
and I'm stuck in the eye of a needle
everywhere I go
go home, sarah
don't you know, sarah
you can't stay here
spend everyday here
it's 7:55 on a Friday
I'm going 25 on the highway
cause if I leave I'm doing it my way
and you'll all say don't
don't go, sarah
please come home, sarah
you can stay here
spend every day here
don't go, sarah
no we won't share ya
please just stay here
spend the rest of your days here
sarah's growing older but not taller lately
going crazy
sarah's getting colder and she told me,
"baby, won't you save me?"
don't go sarah,
please come home, sarah
you can stay here
spend every day here
don't go, sarah!
please come home, sarah
you can stay here
spend the rest of your days here
she won't come down
she can't be free
she won't tell anyone except for me
she walks around
and can't believe
her hometown won't become a fantasy
she won't come down
she can't be free
she won't tell anyone except for me
she walks around
and can't believe
she's not anyone she used to be.

Leave You For Myself
03:05
|
|||
bodies all across the floor
dancing at the troubadour
my shoes are off
while the hands play golf.
I am bones within the crowd
and I dont know how it got this loud
but I love it here
I bought stock this year
and I dont want to hold you
I don’t wanna cry
so I count to ten like I did last night
and through the tears,
It's finally clear
i love you dear
I really wanted to be friends
but I know when all this ends
gonna leave you for myself,
gonna leave you for my--
I really wanted to be friends
but I know when all this ends
gonna leave you for myself,
gonna leave you for my--
all alone by 8 am
there’s champagne in the rug again
and I hate myself
I dont need your help
nothing’s ever been my fault
you and liquor made the call
and we’re all that’s left
but we're ending next
I really wanted to be friends
but I know when all this ends
gonna leave you for myself,
gonna leave you for my--
I really wanted to be friends
but I know when all this ends
gonna leave you for myself,
gonna leave you for my--
self! self! self!
gonna leave you
self! self! self!

come on now, leave with my best friend
it’s okay, I know how this ends
and nothing’s gonna stop me now
and I got my hands round her waist
I think we’re going back to her place
and nothing’s gonna stop me now
but she doesn’t know how
I can't get too close
or i'll fall apart
I'm a flight risk
and they’ve watched me leave.
last night on the floor
like i've done before
catching lovers i know i can't keep
what happens now?
and I’m making friends with myself
cause I don’t need his or her help
and nothing's gonna stop me now,
oh, and now there’s that spot on my wall
your number in case that you call
but I’m done with romancing
and canceling plans
just in hopes that I'll let myself fall, oh
I can't get too close
or i'll fall apart
I'm a flight risk
and they’ve watched me leave.
last night on the floor
like i've done before
catching lovers i know i can't keep
I won’t wait for you to call me
I won’t wait for you, you
nothing’s gonna stop me
saw you in the lobby
wrote you on my body
now it’s gonna haunt me, haunt me
come on now, leave with my best friend
It’s okay, I know how this --

slurpee :]
01:31
|
|||
woke up again as in had one of those moments where everything before this moment just feels like pretend and my hair is wet because I showered and half of an hour ago I was across State Line with my friends and I bought a slurpee at a gas station but it's full and in my freezer and I don't remember putting it there but it wasn't me who did it. no it wasn't me who did it, but I'm the only one here so it had to be me, but it couldn't have been me? but I'm the only one here, so it had to be me, could it have been me? oh it must have been me.

i listened to my ex’s new boyfriend’s band
he’s got that kinda voice that i can’t stand
the album still made it to my spotify wrapped
now what the fuck am i supposed to do about that
he still lives with his mom out in west LA
still thinks that he’s right about everything
he’s probably gonna write a song about you
it’s probably gonna suck like the other ones do
i’m!
doing fine!
and I might see you around
i bet he picks you up from all your classes too
dont u think that he’s a little old for you?
I gave you a piece and now I need it back.
now what the hell am i supposed to do about that?
heard he slept with your best friend
you just let him back in again
promise i won't ask you why--
but I hope you cried! and
i’m!
doing fine!
I might see you around
I’m!
getting by!
and you won’t see me cry!!!
and I saw you in his dorm room
and I'm not sorry but i miss you
I miss you
I miss you

Do You Want That?
03:31
|
|||
hold me
and tell me that you love me.
that I could be your baby
would you take me?
and don't forget to feed me
I'm so afraid of what I want.
rather repress it than get caught
so, I gotta leave, just so you know,
I'll eat your face, take it to go
hold me
and tell me that you love me
that I could be your baby
would you take me?
and don't forget to feed me
pretend
that I could be your girlfriend
but do you even want that?
do you want that?
cause I want–
that!
I'm so afraid of what I think
drown all my cravings in the sink
so, I gotta leave, you gotta go
please tell your mother to answer the phone!
hold me
and tell me that you love me
that I could be your baby
would you take me?
and don't forget to feed me
pretend
that I could be your girlfriend
but do you even want that?
do you want that?
cause I want–
"I have ideas"
"ok"
THAT!
talk talk to me, talk talk to me
talk talk to me, talk talk to me
(allez vous-en!
sinon, je m’en vais!
l’amour m’embrasse et m'embarrasse
je suis qu’une bébé
et tous les choses que je veux
me font si peur que j’ai honte
et je suis si fatigué d’être si effrayé
tout le putain de temps!!)
pretend
that I could be your girlfriend
but do you even want that?
do you want that?
cause I want
that

mother soon
03:11
|
|||
I didn’t shave my legs today, I hope all the boys still love me
I was born just yesterday, in the doorway, I saw you watching
and I thought “was that the truth?” when I saw you, or was I faking?
and if I made a mistake, tell me,
would you stay my baby?
would you stay my baby?
If they saw me at my worst, would all the girls still think I’m perfect?
If you knew my ugliness, my black lilith, am I still worth it?
cause I knew you were my truth when I saw you, but now I’m fading
and if I stay half alive and cracked inside until I’m 80.
would you stay my baby?
would you stay my baby?
take me back to KC
eat it and drink it
silver spoon
you’re gonna be a mother soon.
fake it and naked with a view
blame it all on the tv too
eat it and drink it
silver spoon
weekend blues
you’re gonna be a mother soon.
make it and take it
fake it
naked with a view
blame it all on the tv too.
(and how well do you know your fingers?
all mine are crooked at the ends
didn't notice till I was 18.
I’m always too late to the party
I’m always too late to my body)
