Friend in a Bullet
03:25

Give me love give me sex
with a view from the ledge oh come on
Until the weight of that word
gets to me and i want to get off
I made a friend in an ex
and they brought out the block aw come on
and Not a thing made much sense
but i had to pretend to stay on
(chorus)
I found a friend in a bullet
and it tried to convince me I' m wrong
Said there's a plan for a man
who refuses the truth for so long
Give me friends til the end
oh you heard that before in a song?
I used to worry the world
it would always be humming along
I want to sing but the void
says it has other plans so fuck off
I'd drop my words on the floor
if i knew tomorrow'd never come
(Chorus)
+
(must be lazy i just
must be lazy)
Mon said it's for my benefit
A clever get for my attention
I use her as i connect the dots
(bridge)
I want to run but the past its just always been tagging along
Always falling behind while warning what happens if it's gone
I want to run but the past says it's always there tagging along
Always falling behind while hinting the worst if its gone
(Chorus)
+
Mon said it's for my benefit
A clever get i must admit it
lemonmon to denton 7
honestly they could have their pick
mon said it for my attention
and every word one more chance i missed
I'll use her as i connect the dots

Monkey in the Middle

caught up with the red line
and sped off through the night
we reached downtown with time
and stopped off for a bite
(chorus)
we made a dog eared page
on a saturday night
waved to monkey in the middle
said you'll be all right
drinking love
just love
all night
we took our place in line
to rent two seats for nine
we craned our necks to find
a hero saving lives
we were years away from knowing
we were feet from our last tie
a place we didn't know existed
we'll live on when the talk dies
but for now i'm tunnel visioned
just the knowledge i'm on fire
that my chest could burst
fall off the earth
at the sense it's our night
(chorus)
we made a dog eared page
on a saturday night
waved to monkey in the middle
said you'll be all right
drinking love
just love
all night
and when that clock tears us
from that saturday night
break the darkness with the moment
everything was right
getting love
just love
all night
(bridge)
all night
(chorus)
we made a dog eared page
on a saturday night
waved to monkey in the middle
said you'll be all right
drinking love
just love
all night
and when that clock tears us
from that saturday night
break the darkness with the moment
everything was right
getting love
just love
all night
all night

Just realized summer is your motions
I set my clock to years ago
Just found the reason I kept breathing
When a million boys would tell you they can't hang on
cos there's a beauty in the losing
there is a reason for the fall
if i can live and die between
the things you never knew you needed
then i'm staying on
Was it just chemical
(chorus)
all those shades of blue
hoping this breaks through
putting out a different sound
hoping that you'll find me now
all those lights on you
all calling for you
hoping with a different sound
hoping that you'll like me now
just realized summer is these moments
that we combine to beat the cold
while serving drinks on tilted ground
and turning years you can't be found
back in and out
But there's a wisdom in the weeds now
There's no vitals in the truth
no just a scene after that scene
the one where everybody leaves
and it's me and you
i'm waxing physical right now
(chorus)
(solo)
(chorus)
all those shades of blue
hope this gets to you
putting out a different sound
hoping that you'll find me now
all those fools
all for you
hoping with a different sound
hoping that you'll love me now

Days Ago
02:55

wake to something new
find a version and leak it to you
you know
i always sell the truth
so buy me dinner but don't
forget the walls and roof
when
(chorus)
i talked to Daisy
at 3 in the morning
at angles friends don't see
with all of that history
and i've done your talking but
she's not been listening to
all of these stories but
well that was days ago my friend
waste some youth on you
and tie the knot but still leave in a loop or two
to walk back every move
that sunsoaked soul
he just had the wrong you that's all
so
(chorus)
(bridge)
waste some youth on you
and tie the knot but still leave in a loop or two
(chorus)
+
I left from Daisy at
3 in the morning
In light friends they don't see
But you ought know me
You heard all those stories that
place me at the scene
With all of our history well
Yeah that was all for you my friend

pumpkin
i never seen them dress like you did
tim called me up and laid out a bridge
and i'm too thick but i think you liked it
mistook my symptoms for some
wisdom that you would assign to me
some kind of existential longing
when i'm just staking mystery
i can't believe
i never bothered
to upset that shell
i wanted
beyond some blurry sense of sorrow
when you had somewhere to be
let's dive into nought 03'
(chorus)
we spent our last night
three sheets on cheap wine
It's by design it ends
it's By design we're never meant for friends
Cos we're just dreaming
Beside the pop scene
Two seeds inside my head
It's by design they're better in my head
that life
i trade the sunset for a sunrise
i trade my problems for your love-light
broadstrokes in portland in a spring time
and i'm still living on some rhythm
fitting in your coterie
committing years into some wisdom
that i've never heard you speak
how many lives by now i've written
how many roads down i have ridden
all for some nagging sense of something 12 steps off eluding me
and still i call nought 03'
(chorus)
(bridge)
why end on this dream?
why pull her one side down?
why end on this dream?
nothing's gonna save me
might as well play the kids out
something bout starbeams now
and how it all worked out
until the next dream
here let me play us out
(chorus)

with your t-shirt on
you wanna rule the world
but we're 9 years old
so i played along
"you missed it"
"i didn't
let's go underground
with chipmunks
and groundhogs
hiding out"
taking my turn
your arm goes up
and my blood comes
couldn't stop it
calling someone
come and get me now
with a pinstripe on
you went and fooled us all
thought the trail was hot
so you played it off
"you changed it"
"i didn't
i'm just heading out
to streetlights
like the time
we saved the whole town"
with some roll ups
to an old song
don't you know we
could've holed up
through a weekend
every sun down
don't you know i
would've called out
asking me what
t-shirts i want
put my arm up
wanna get off
calling someone
come and get me now

Got caught so up
By the light of the moon
Got caught so up in the things
that we'll never do now
Did you talk
say much too soon?
Caught in between versions of you
i just can't prove no
(chorus)
Believe you want me
For fucks sake you used to
Believe you want me
bye bye buh bye bye my baby goodbye
caught me too close
by the light of the moon
saw all the cracks
all the things that you'd never do now
can't blame yourself
when you're the not the same you
can't find the version of me
that walked in that room no
(chorus)
(bridge)
so say you want me
just say you want me
the safest days are filled with ways to tie our mind
so say you want me
(chorus)
believe you want me
how far we've fallen if i'm asking
believe you want me
for fucks sake you used to all night
Believe you want me
For fucks sake you used to
Believe you want me
bye bye goodbye bye my baby goodbye

september 22nd saturday just after nine
you found my door with word
you couldn't raise our tie that binds
september 22nd saturday just after nine
we took my car cut through the dark
and started on the ice
(chorus)
your heart starts skipping a beat
just swearing there's something in between us
my heart keeps hitting repeat
just swearing we won't be defeated
you found a trail in something
saw us driving through the night
we stopped to rest and trade our heads before a desperate fight
i took a bullet for
you smiled said i had no right
you tended to my surface wound while our bridge smiled wide
(chorus)
your heart keeps hitting repeat
just swearing we won't be defeated
your heart's been skipping a beat
just swearing i can be that piece now

Won't See Me
04:41

was it the way that you found me
i found you outside alone
was it the way that your loves made you crazy
the songs that i stole
to your best friends i'm best ex
they know i was never home
was it the way when you asked me
i answered i just don't know
(chorus)
but you
you won't see me
too busy founding and rounding
and drowning in old memories
was it the way that you kept me
from harm's reach where truth never goes
was it the way that they'd all gone
the walls from when you were small
and your sister you missed her
you laughed on the long drive home
was it the way for that summer
the first time you're on your own
(chorus)
but you
you won't see me
too busy drowning and founding
and rounding off old memories
and you
ain't lookin for me
don't have the time
to rewind to the moment
you wrote over me
(bridge)
we drank that night on the phone
against better judgement
you asked me when i'm coming home
don't have any answers you know
(chorus)
but you
you won't see me
too busy founding and rounding
and drowning in old memories
and you
you'll never find me
don't have the time
to rewind to the moment
you wrote over me
you wrote over me
was it the way that you found me
i found you outside alone

The Color Blue

light fighting through the rain
Parts your hair that way
Runs into your face
the memory is made
Catalogued with you
with the color blue
Just someone i knew
And would die for back when
things were Night and day
had no use for names
They knew us through our tapes
recognized through tapes
(chorus)
We won't make it to that day
When we roamed the other's
Brains since traded all that space
for a life of make do
that gave way in this crowded room
that is closing soon
wait for another train
everything is grey
smiled through each change
that took me far from you
and waking in your room
dancing to a tune
that took us to the moon
life was bigger and knew
you would be there soon
every word was true
anything for you
(chorus)
(instrumental bridge)
