Intro (It Might Be Time)
01:44
|

It might be time
To strike a balance
To restore order
In an otherwise disorganized mind
It might be time
For moderation
I’m growing tired of
This daily self-justification
It might be time
To listen to my former self
She’s written many pages on What’s good and bad for my health

Hey You
02:57
|

Hey you
I hope you’re lovin’ all the little bits of my mind
Keepin’ you company ‘stead of keepin’ me sane
I hope you’ve given them a good home
Wake up
I know the flowers that I planted you are dyin’
You haven’t exactly been a breath of fresh air
They’re holding places for the next ones
’Til they’re too rotten, you decide
I hope that you love them
The way that you loved me
I hope that you love them
The way you loved me away
So I can have them back one day
Time keeps tickin’ on by
Our existences are splittin’ down the middle
Yeah, my heart rips just a little every line
My heart rips just a little every line
I keep trickin’ myself
Into thinking that I’m brilliant
The next instant all my sanity is missing
I’m sure you’re tired of telling me
Listen up and don’t be stubborn
Maybe now you’ll find the one
To help you properly recover
I hope that you love them
The way that you loved me
I hope that you love them the way I hope that you love them
The way you loved me away
The way you loved me away
I hope that you love them
The way that you loved me
I hope that you love them the way I hope that you love them
The way you loved me away
The way you loved me away

Bad Dreams
03:20
|
|||
Let me out of this little house
Set me free, I’ll never turn around
I’ll meet my love somewhere down the hill
We’ll chase the cars never standing still
I wanna give you everything
I wanna be your early morning hideaway
Swim with me on the days you’d like to sink
Take my hand, we’ll float along to sea
When the sun goes down night is always listening
Look in my eyes, tell me what you think
I wanna give you everything
I wanna be your early morning hideaway
From all the bad dreams you’ve been having
I want to get out but I don’t want to grow up
I’ll find my way to another side
Of the screen that I have been sitting here watching
Please take me away
Take me away
I wanna give you everything
I wanna be your early morning hideaway
From all the bad dreams you’ve been having
I wanna give you everything
I wanna be your early morning hideaway
From all the bad dreams you’ve been having
I wanna give you everything
I wanna be your early morning hideaway
From all the bad dreams you’ve been having

Break a sweat
Take a sip
Tie my shoe
Bite my lip
Sit up straight
I’ll work on it
I feel cool
Skinny dip
I’m running away from the party
Say the wrong thing but she wants me
Turn on my favorite station
Just to stop all communication
If you looked back and wanted someone else
I would give it to myself
Give it to myself
Make a threat
Don’t let it slip
Just get through
Another clip
The sky is blue
But I’m losing it
I need a few
Shots to forget
Permanent stain like a sharpie
I’m running away from the party
Turn on my favorite station
Just to stop all communication
If you looked back and wanted someone else
I would give it to myself
Give it to myself
Can’t let go of all the things that I regret
I can’t sleep
Blame the internet
Turn on my favorite station
Just to stop all communication
If you looked back and wanted someone else
I would give it to myself
Give it to myself

Clever
04:00
|
|||
If I could be clever I would
Say everything that I should
To get you to love me
And tell me the moment you felt it
If I could get better I would
Do anything that I could
To get you to hold me
And tell me the moment you missed me
Baby if this is how things go
Maybe you could’ve let me know
Before I sent my love away
For you to take, for you to break
Sit right down and talk to me
Tell me you don’t feel a thing
And if you’d like to walk away
Then be my guest, why did you say
If I could be clever I would
Say everything that I should
To get you to love me
And tell me the moment you felt it
If I could get better I would
Do anything that I could
To get you to hold me
And tell me the moment you missed me
I’m staring up at the ceiling now
Wishing my head wasn’t spinning around
One week isn’t so long
Until you called to tell me you’d be gone
If I couldn’t say what you needed
If I couldn’t stay when you asked
If we could resume after sleeping
If we could rewind before I packed
If I could be clever I would
Say everything that I should
To get you to love me
And tell me the moment you felt it
If I could get better I would
Do anything that I could
To get you to hold me
And tell me the moment you missed me

An Entire Lifetime
02:59
|
|||
How could you keep this from me
For an entire lifetime
I don’t understand the plan
I don’t understand
You admit nothing
While I dream of good hands to hold me
I’m looking for a loving grasp
As I am falling fast
Tell me lies, tell me sweet, tell me sweet little lies
We must’ve listened to that song one thousand times
Now I’m lying on the floor and I can’t open my eyes
No I can’t open my eyes, no I can’t open my
*Ooh-ahs*
Mother may I pose a question you might have heard before
I never did receive the answers I was looking for
Don’t stay out too late, don’t run away
You cannot hide forever
In itsy bitsy spider nursery rhymes
Tell me lies, tell me sweet, tell me sweet little lies
We must’ve listened to that song one thousand times
Now I’m lying on the floor and I can’t open my eyes
No I can’t open my eyes, no I can’t open my
*Ooh-ahs*

God Forbid
04:17
|
|||
Have you forgotten
All of the times that you told me
You could kiss me forever
And life could never be better
Was I mistaken
I wanted to be by your side
Every day, every night
If you’d let me look into you’re crying eyes
If you’d only let me
God forbid
You ever hear this song
And it changes your mind From a maybe
From a maybe to hatin’ me
Sitting on the steps to your apartment
We went to the same show tonight
And you made it seem
Like you were happy to see me
But she’s never happy, she’s just great at acting
God forbid
You ever hear this song
And it changes your mind From a maybe
From a maybe to hatin’ me
I’m just waitin’ for someone to tell me
She’d like to come home
I must be living in an alternate universe
(I must be living in an alternate universe)
I’m competing apparently
I cannot claim to know the me
That you complain is taking everything away
Making every single day
Too hard to get through
I’m sick to my stomach just standing here
I wanna cry, I wanna scream, tell everybody everything
So you cannot pretend
So you cannot pretend I’m no longer here
I didn’t disappear
God forbid
You ever hear this song
And it changes your mind
From a maybe
From a maybe to hatin’ me
I’m just waitin’ for someone to tell me
She’d like to come home

Shouldn't Bother
03:34
|
|||
I cannot stay away from you
Even though I know I should
I need to find something better
I try when I can to give a little more
To take a little less
To always be there for you
I hope you know
I wish you cared
I know you’re not concerned
Ay ay, whatcha say
I give a lot I get nothing in return
I shouldn’t bother with you anymore
Sometimes you leave me all alone
I’m trying not to lose myself
These holiday lights don’t really make things sweeter
Because you can’t find the time to give a little love
To take a little heat
I’ve been trying to ignore these feelings
As I sit in the dark at home
Ay ay, whatcha say
I give a lot I get nothing in return
(I give a lot I get nothing)
I shouldn’t bother with you anymore
Ay ay, whatcha say
I give a lot I get nothing in return
(I give a lot I get nothing)
I shouldn’t bother with you anymore
If you could only see me now
If you could only feel the pain that I feel somehow
Is this all that I can give
Is this all that can get
Ay ay, whatcha say
I give a lot I get nothing in return
(I give a lot I get nothing)
I shouldn’t bother with you anymore
Ay ay, whatcha say
I give a lot I get nothing in return
(I give a lot I get nothing)
I shouldn’t bother with you anymore
Anymore

Temporary Letdown
03:16
|
|||
I tried hard
I dressed my best
I looked far for a way to meet
The expectations that were set
You laid seemingly in front me
You laid them all within my reach
I’m a temporary letdown
I promise I’ll be back to my old self in a moment
But first, come with me
I’ll let you see a secondary side of me
An insecure, very unsure, particularly immature me
Don’t you miss catching up
On all the silly things inside of our heads
Sometimes whispers would wake us up
Babe, I’ve been having such bad dreams again
I didn’t mean to hurt the one
Who used to hold me close no matter what
I, too, wanted more from myself
I’m a temporary letdown
I promise I’ll be back to my old self in a moment
But first, come with me
I’ll let you see a secondary side of me
An insecure, very unsure, particularly immature me
I can’t keep this together without you
I’m not feeling any better without you
I can’t keep this together without
I’m a temporary letdown
I promise I’ll be back to my old self in a moment

Come Back to Me
03:34
|
|||
I see things that
I don’t want to
I see you leaving me
Leaving, leaving
Don’t you see
That I can’t forget you
Won’t you stay
I can’t be alone
Come back to me, babe
Come back to me, babe
Come back to me, babe
Why won’t you come back to me
I can’t help myself
The temptation’s too much
I just need your love
But you’re not around for me
Even though I’m here for you
What am I gonna do?
If I can’t please you
What do you want me to say
I can’t be on my own
Come to me, babe
Come back to me, babe
Come back to me, babe
Why won’t you come back to me
I wish I never really cared at all
You make it hard for me
To catch myself when I’m fallin’
It’s never easy, so they say
You could make it easier
If you weren’t the one
Walkin’ away
Why won’t you come back to me
