a minute of your time
00:57
|
|||
|
if I could have a minute of your time
I would show you the possibilities
that all the day to day can easily push out of your sight
we can go wherever it is we want
and have the dumbest epiphanies
and watch the people all around
just swallow themselves whole
but I know you're with him so I should just forget
cause it's a minute I'll never get

any moment now
01:00
|
|||
|
when you unbutton the top button of your shirt
I know when it comes to you I wanna be an expert
when you're willing to accept you could get hurt
I know when it comes to you I wanna be an expert
all there is to know is we've got now
don't let it go to waste
in case of emergency
lay your body next to me
any moment now we'll be in pieces
be in pieces
any moment now

skirt
01:01
|
|||
|
mary, the skirt you are wearing is very
revealing and I don't know why
I can't help look at you more
mary, the skirt you are wearing is so revealing
why can't you show off your feelings
just like your legs?

i don't wanna know
01:08
|
|||
|
I don't wanna know
how I stack up, next to him
I just wanna know
if my memory still hangs around or sometimes sneaks in
cause it's not fair, and it can't be all
I'm invincible baby, but I'm not indestructible
and it's not fair, and you just can't hide
and let all the things that were said and done
be nullified
I don't wanna know
how I stack up, next to him
I just wanna know
if my memory still hangs around, or sometimes sneaks in

|
it's your freaking birthday!
happy freaking birthday!
happy freaking birthday to you!
you are one year older
or so I would assume
cause it's the day that you escaped
the jail of your moms womb
look at ya
you're old enough to be awesome

|
I know you're scared
I see you walking away
and there's the whole matter
of how we don't talk much these days
if you ever come out of hiding
I'm begging you to see
I'm begging you to see
that I'm right here waiting to hold you in my arms

scatterbrained girl
00:57
|
|||
|
you keep hopping around
from the next, to the next, to the next
scatterbrained girl
you give up to easily when there's
so much left, so much left, so much left
in this ridiculous world
I don't mind that you
left me behind
cause whether you're in love
or you've had enough
I'll catch up to you
scatterbrained girl
|
||||
8. |
||||
|
wake up, go to work, go to bed
get swarmed with all the lies that you once said
hope for a moment I remember what it's like
to not feel so lost, not feel so dead
god damn you
how'd you manage to forget?
wake up, go to work, go to bed

freaky sexy clown jam
01:00
|
|||
|
baby hop in my car
shoosh be quiet now cause there's nothing to say
I just wanna get freaky with you like a clown in may
that's not wearing any shoes
baby leave the lights on
didn't you hear I wanted to do freaky clown stuff?
put on little scrunchy noses and make up
and hit you with my seltzer water
that's not a metaphor
I'm talking about seltzer water

she won't admit
01:04
|
|||
|
yeah she won't admit
that she likes me
yeah she could commit
but it's unlikely
hey there I've been seeing you
running around, running round like a fool
yeah I've been seeing you
running around, running around hiding
yeah she won't admit
that she likes me
yeah she could commit
but it's unlikely
and I could give it up
I could concede
but if I really quit
she wouldn't like it
|

11. |
the only thing I regret
01:20
|
|||
|
the only thing I regret about us
is I never danced with you
so if we ever meet again
please be a dancing fool
I don't care about the clothes you wear
or the way you do your hair
I don't even need a beat
just you and me to sway
the only thing I regret about us
is I never danced with you
so if we ever meet again
please be a dancing fool
|
||||
12. |
the last word
00:33
|
|||
|
though more time has passed
your memory lasts
and all I have to say
is I miss you
but not as much as you'll miss me
some day

|

took care of you, sucked out all your joy
how you gonna see me with your blinders on?

rock kick

14. |
do the mess it up
01:09
|
|||
|
do you wanna hear a brand new dance I made up just last night
first you have to grab someone who means something to you and get them by your side
then you stare blankly into each others eyes
hands up, hands tied
then you mess it up, then you make it right
dance with me
|
||||
15. |
I'm your man
01:09
|
|||
|
when I made you laugh it felt like I had saved everybody in existence
then there was your boyfriend looking pretty safe, and of course there is the distance
but if you want something you can never have
I'm your man
|
||||
16. |
find
00:32
|
|||
|
I hope you find everything that you're looking for
out in the stars or far across the sea
but if you can't find what it is you're looking for
I hope you find your way back to me
