Homesick for a house that isn’t mine
Get in the car leave the phone behind
Like it’s 1995
Like it’s 1995
I wonder if kids today will hold on to
The past as much as we do
Remember when our greatest fear
Was acid rain and the start of the school year
Be still my mind
And I drive
Then I forget myself and where I’m going
I get to your house and I ring the bell
I only write songs with the tv on
Cause I can never never be alone
I fall asleep holding the hand
Of my imaginary friend
To think we were lost and we’re found
You speak and I see clouds
Be still my mind
And I drive
Then I forget myself and where I’m going
I get to your house and I ring the bell

Is It Karma?

You’re like a wild animal
A delicate flower
Those words you said
Do you remember
It was right when we met
I’ve been playing this game
In my head
What would’ve happened
Would things not be same
Like smoking no smoking
That bad habit of bending the truth a little bit
Then feeling disproportionately bad about it
Is it karma?
Karma, were you asking for it
Asking for it
The ice dams on the roof
The weight of the snow,
How could you know
Under your blankets you heard it
Collapsing, like a leaf
You were shaking
You ran outside
And ever since
It’s all different
The reassuring sound of the distant sirens
Always brings me back to those hot summer nights
At my grandparents 48th street east apartment
I felt safe back then
I felt safe back then

Worry Stone

When I was a kid we had a cat
She got hit by a car
She went hiding to die and i thought
It was the saddest thing ever
When you last came here it was summer
And you and me
We talked about everything under
The sun, and it was fading
You waved from the plane
Never saw you again
Now I carry rocks in my pockets
Worry stones
Deep sea creatures that live in my chest
Make my heart pound
I stay under water
As long as I can
To block out the world
And all the sounds
All the sounds
I wanna move but I’m stuck
Nothing is real
You are gone I’m here

Good Sad Story
03:44

Something about other people’s houses
When I look through their windows at night
They’ve got everything figured out
No worries it’s all peace and quiet
Anyway that’s how it see it
Here I am on the sidewalk freezing to death
Wishing we never moved here after all
I miss my hometown
My heart stayed my body left
I’m still here by the pond
My hair grows long
but I stay the same
I know the outline
Of every tree in the forest
On the other side
Of the river the longing runs
Deep in my veins
Seep in my veins
Today someone in the street smiled
At me and I almost cried
Middle of the night I’m awake and it seems
That’s when I do all my worst thinking
Nightmares come alive when I can’t sleep
And though I do love a good sad story
I wish I never moved here after all
I miss my hometown
My heart stayed my body left
I’m still here by the pond
I lied when I said I love best
The city nights
I know the outline
Of every tree in the forest
On the other side
Of the river the longing runs
Deep in my veins
Deep in my veins

Feeble as an old satellite
And I love you’s on the other end of the line
I could have said something nice
But i didn’t have the heart to lie
We were swinging for the fences
It’s always mad love then it isn’t
And I can’t and I can’t and I can’t
Read your face
And I want and and I want you to stay
And I’m ready I’m ready I’m ready shoot
I can take I can take it
I’m bulletproof
I can take I can take it
I’m bulletproof
Flickering light
Like a broken neon sign
Holding the antenna to the sky
Heard you talking in your sleep again last night
You said spring was your least
Favorite season
Everything that was buried
Under the snow reappears
And I can’t and I can’t and I can’t
Read your face
And I want and I want you to stay
And I’m ready I’m ready I’m ready shoot
I can take I can take it
I’m bulletproof
And I promise I’ll be better
Wont let my fears define me
I’ll be the pillar I’ll be the pillar
I’ll be…
Flickering light
Like a broken neon sign
