Better Love

If you could keep your distance
I'll save my idealisms
She knows the price on my head
On the street in my crowd like you don’t care
Honey how many bodies downstairs?
She can’t be what boys like me need
Send a letter one year after
I know what that means
Tell me something about your better love
I heard you found a better love
Do you still speak like Jesus?
I have a house plant I’m taking care of
Living is just better losing to me
Send a letter one year after
Look who's lonely
Tell me something about your better love
I heard you found a better love

Half Dreams

Breaking backs on the side streets
With every black cat and ladder I meet
My hopscotch games, my growing pains
I hate to play alone
Won't pay I'm mumbling home
En-routes I grew up on
If they can't heal my heels I'm gone
Half dreams but I'm living it
I'm half cut but the ribbon is tied
Downtown, downtown alone
Downtown, down, down and out
Do what you do
Can't quit my kicks so
As above the same below
I'll glue my sights to every vice
As long as it'll hold me like she did once
Not her the other one
Twice removed but just as stuck on us
Half dreams but I'm living it
I'm half cut but the ribbon is tied
Downtown, downtown alone
Downtown, down, down and out
Do what you do

Cut Me Out
05:04

Some friend on the phone told me that you lost it lately
Bad blood on the road caught you comatose
Some friend on the phone told me that you lost it lately
So help us from making all the same mistakes we made in the first place
I’m still trying to find out which side I want most to die
How could I choose one?
When it’s hard to find out which side you want most to die maybe you're both wrong
Some friend on the phone asked if I was still awake
Same night. Dial tone. Never spoke again
Still sending one way happy holidays
So help us from making all the same mistakes that we made in the first place.
I’m still trying to find out which side I want most to die
How could I choose one?
When it’s hard to find out which side you want most to die maybe we don’t talk enough
Cut me out
Could you cut me out?

Make Circles

It's in the way you greet me
With your silk and the jungle sounds
This seems to be my new chic
Getting in too deep calling out
I want what I want what I want
Play Julie on the balcony
With your keys and clothing falling hard from the top floor
I could play "In your eyes" if I didn't
Burn all those tapes before
I watch you make circles
While he sleeps on the other side
like ghosts in black bedrooms
It never feels like the right time
I watch you make circles, in circles
So take me in the drug store while the
family photos hang to dry in the red light
And prove that picture perfect is how
We frame what we try to hide
Cause I want what I want what I want
I watch you make circles
While he sleeps on the other side
like ghosts in black bedrooms
It never feels like the right time
I watch you make circles, in circles.
I get so lost (sometimes)
I get so lost sometimes without my pride in your eyes
When I want to run away

Dating Pools
03:55

I touch a phone screen to feel like anything
So does everyone I know
So free and lonely
So twenty-something
With our dating pools shallow and long
Maybe I didn’t notice that he was your kid
Maybe I'm just writing wrongs
With you in the bushes by the funeral home
Drowning in the deep end, not again
Could be another one gone
Another unwanted friend
Tripping through the deep end of the quickest sand
Another one gone
Another unwanted friend
Now there's a new street that needs avoiding
Another name my daughter won’t be called
The list is growing across my city
There's only so many postal codes
All these indie-Cindys
And crystal-Kennedys
Make it hard to stay at home
Am I just a bad seed hanging from your bed sheets?
If I am just tell me
I don't know
Drowning in the deep end not again
Could be another one gone
Another unwanted friend
Tripping through the deep end of the quickest sand
Another one gone
Another unwanted friend
Tell me am I just a bad seed
Hanging from your bedsheets?
If I am just tell me I don't know
