Sweating Like a Pig
04:32

Don’t worry dear
I’ll be home before too late
Just going through
The motions of my life with you
Has got me feeling so confused
And now I’m sweating like a pig
Looking out into
The pieces of my life to understand
Just what I’m missing
And though it seems so strange
I’m missing all my time away from you
And now I’m sweating like a pig

Don't Really Mind
03:43
|

You call for me or so it seems
That i could be the one you need
Knowing you it’s hard to tell
Knowing you, you could be anyone
Safe for me to bet, we can put this one to rest
We can put our minds to rest
And I don’t really mind
I just sit inside
Dreaming of the days that we could fall
And I don’t really mind
Losing my mind over you
Sitting there across from me
You appear just like you seem
At least I think that’s what I mean
At least I think that I could fall for you
Even as I know that it'll never be the same
It'll never be the same
And I don’t really mind
I just sit inside
Dreaming of the days that we could fall
And I don’t really mind
Losing my mind over you

No Matter
02:25
|

|
Taking the time to be one with myself
And the matter of it is no matter to you
All of the consequence filling my head
And the things that you said that just had to be true
I didn’t know I was biting my tongue
while you danced in your shoes its no matter to you
Why should I try to be more than I am
if the end of it all is no better for you
Before I can start to explain that I am
Nothing more than the victim of my own mistakes
I can tell you’re uneasy and trying your best
But sometimes it’s easier to put it to rest
And accept our mistakes and move on with our time
Believing that it never got out of line
But I can still see it clear in my head
That the matter of it is no matter to you
That the end of the world is no better for you

Nostalgic Replacement
06:24
|
|||
|
So now here we are again
Back to face all of my fears
I can’t say if you are my friend
These things aren't so crystal clear
I can’t help feeling
Like there’s someone watching us
I see a shadow
I think I know who this is In the room
I know deep down I still miss you
But I won't say it to your face
All the things that you did to me
Aren’t just things I can erase
Our paths were meant to cross
But if to cross me or stay close
Were a question I’d have to answer
I don't think i’ll ever know
I can’t help feeling
Like there’s someone watching us
I see a shadow
I think I know who this is In the room
Tell me who you want me to be
Paintings resting against the wall
This matters more to me
Than anything I’ve ever seen you do
Tell me, what should this mean
(Slowly walking hardly talking in the rain
Losing meaning touching feeling ringing chains
I don’t paint these ugly paintings for myself
On a canvas blurry dancers on the wall)
Who are you to decide
What goes in my ear
I don’t want to hide
The irritation, pain and fear
Things can’t go on like this
We were meant to stay apart
And I know that you’ll resist
Either way this song will break a heart
I get this feeling
Like there’s something more to us
My mind is reeling
You won't tell me what is up
I see your shadows
In the corners of my room
Why you’re here i cannot tell
But i hope i find out soon
Tell me who you want me to be
Paintings resting against the wall
This matters more to me
Than anything I’ve ever seen you do
Tell me, what should this mean
(Slowly walking hardly talking in the rain
Losing meaning touching feeling ringing chains
I don’t paint these ugly paintings for myself
On a canvas blurry dancers on the wall)

Hold Me Closer
04:54
|
|||
|
Hold me closer now
I must reach out to hear your voice
Get me out of this mess
I can hear you better now
Complicate my time
You see, there’s nothing on the line
Sort of strange to be
Beneath and out of my head
I don’t want to step on anybody’s toes
What can I do about it now
Does it matter now
What comes before, what’s underneath
A simple state of belief
In a time away from here
Can you see for yourself
What tired eyes could never see
The missing pieces of
A life that couldn’t be
I don’t want to step on anybody’s toes
What can I do about it now
I don’t want to step on anybody’s toes
What will you do about it now

Winter Coat
02:41

Winter comes by autumn’s side
It whispers before you
And it is getting cold
But I’m not worried
Maybe that’s too bad
Maybe I should’ve put a coat on mmmmmmmmm
And why can’t I just shake this feeling
That’s come before me
The problem is as problems go
It’s all in my head
Why am I surprised
Nobody will find the answer for me

Dejare de Existir
09:06
|

|
The walk today felt twice as long
And my legs felt twice as weak
It's getting harder to read each word
harder to find the drive to speak
"I know that this place is meant for me”
I say to myself before I sleep at night
And outside my window, the glow of the campus
Has all the charm of a dentist’s light, and I-
I’m getting tired of living in this village
And there’s nothing left to do, and I don’t know what my deal is
But I know we’ve still got time to work things out
I know we’ve still got time to work things out
(We’ve got to get away from here, or dejare de existir
I don’t know, I don’t know anything at all)
I thought I would emerge triumphant
Prove I can do something right
But every time I’m told “it’s only gonna get worse”
I think I might be outmatched in this fight
And I thought eventually these buildings
Would start to feel more like a home
But it's been a year, and I still have my fears
And I've never felt so completely alone

Safeway

Do you want to go to Safeway?
It isn't too far away
I wanted to get a turkey pesto sandwich
And some chicken strips for the way
I wanted to get some chicken strips
But Max took all the chicken strips
I guess I have to get the chicken strips
Beforehand next time
Do you want to go to Safeway?
It isn't too far away
I wanted to get a turkey pesto sandwich
And some chicken strips for the way
I wanted to get some buffalo wings
But the lady said the buffalo wings were too spicy
But I got them anyway
And they weren't spicy at all
