I am a failure and a fool and I am not the good you'd ever need
it's with regret that I inform you that at times I am crippling
you came into my life so suddenly I don't know what that's all about
my days are numbered but I'm counting on you to not count me out
you have a smile that is infectious oh sometimes it's all that keeps me here
you break into my thoughts and make all my darkness disappear
you came into my life so suddenly I don't know what that's all about
my days are numbered but I'm counting on you to not count me out
I break my promises I don't have any home I don't have any time
I let my fears engulf me to the point where nothing ever works out right
you walked away from me but understand my love for you is never in doubt
my days are numbered but I'm counting on you to not count me out

I don't like all of the flaws that you're finding in me
it'd be better if you could remember what you used to see
I won't become a king cause when I reign it pours
time isn't on my side so it must be on yours
I loved you in December but I liked you in September better
I don't like the silence that falls around us and explodes
it's like it knows something that we're both afraid to admit we know

here we go
04:16
|
|||
|
let's wander around like we know what we're doing in this city
let's hold each other close til everything feels a little less shitty
you wanna smash your face in, I just wanna pull your hair
say there's no love for you, my love wasn't going anywhere
let's tell stories but make sure only about half of them are true
let's drink wine until the bottles empty and I can spin it, til it lands on you
it's to soon to know what this is
oh well, here we go
you make it so,
you make it so,
hard to get,
out of my mind

black dress
03:51

|
we were both nervous didn't know what to do
you dove into me like a swimming pool
there was a moment when my mind went black
I ran my fingers up and down your back
we got a hotel room and things got absurd
found out my favorite sign was "do not distrurb"
you wore a dress that night I know it was black
I've never had you but I still want you back
yeah yeah
I learned a language that I never could speak
the music pulled you close but just out of reach
you wore a dress that night I think it was black
I've never had you but I still want you back
yeah yeah
did I move you, like you moved me
did I move you, away away away away
you've got someone new and while that's typical
seems like you're dressing for your own funeral
you wear a dress these days my guess it is black
I never had you but I still want you back
yeah yeah

bad note
02:18
|
|||
|
it's the part of the conversation
where it's clear it should be ending
oh there's nothing left to say right now
I start to stumble over words that just won't come
cause I don't, wanna leave on a bad note
if I can't get this right
If I can't get this right
if I can't get this right now
will you still
let me mess up other parts of your life
it's that moment in the evening
where it's clear we should be leaving
or there's nothing left to do for now
my hands start to tremble there's an ache in my temple
cause I don't, wanna leave on a bad note

I'm into you
02:29
|
|||
|
oh no
you're moving in that
slow mo
and it cuts me up and then
I want you so much more
keeping myself from falling apart
when you come passing through
I'm into you
sweet smile
and the way you move it
my way
and the skin that I just want
to feel against mine
don't walk away from me
don't walk away til it's gone

hovering
05:10

when we're hovering
and the night has negated
the rest of the world from our sight
I take a second to look at you
and you're staring at me with those eyes
you seem like a robot
I don't mean that as an insult
seems like you shut down awhile ago
and as a result
you're still processing
when we're hovering
and there's no more talk of deadlines
or politics or nonsense
and the morning is creeping in
sometimes my heart feels in a state of recompense
seems like I've been here before
I don't mean that as a let down
I just don't want to mess it up again
how can anyone know when they should be around
I'm still processing
while we were processing
and the night has negated any other answer for now
even if we're bewildered or intimidated
there really can't be any doubt
there's no point in holding on to the past
the future isn't binding
what's before or after never had much weight
for now there's no denying
we're both hovering
we're both hovering
we're both hovering

joshua jesty recommends:
one of my favorite rock records in a long time, recorded by Steve Alibini. Hell Yeahs all around.
go to album
The Air Inside Our Lungs
by Measure
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Laura sings like an angel wiping tears off your face. Very mellow very pretty and I just can't quit the drummer in this band no matter how hard I try.. huh?
go to album
Crisis Or Catharsis
by Quickening
amazing hard rock from Cleveland that is super underated.... not that I'd know anything about that.
