The High

Take me, take you, take two
Take time out once again
Empty bottle, empty stare
So many ways to say that I don’t care
But I do
‘Cause baby you know how to make me cry
And baby you make me forget we’re all gonna die
Fuck the low I’ll take the high
Let go, let loose, let love
Let luck, or lust, or light in
Merry you, merry me
I know a guy who will marry us on the TV
If you say I do
‘Cause baby you know how to make me cry
And baby you make me forget we’re all gonna die
Oh and it’s safe here so let’s not write
the rest of the story tonight
It’s safe here so let’s not try to figure out the why
Baby you know how to make me cry
And baby you make me forget we’re all gonna die
‘Cause baby you know how to make me cry
And Baby you make me forget we’re all gonna die
Fuck the low I’ll take the high

Undo Me Slowly

Shine brighter than this the day seems to say
But a starless night derails that train of thought
There’s a world out there all shiny and new
But for me it only seems to reflect you
Then you hold me like you know
And let go like you’ve always been leaving
Such a pretty shade of blue
Oh how everything looks better on you
Well if you’re my undoing, then undo me slowly
While my heart's breaking I want you to hold me
And undo me slowly, undo me only
Like you done me before
What might I do with all this wasted time
Time spent pining for what will never be mine
Wonder what I might find
It’s the end of the line not the end all things
But the mind plays tricks while the heart's not listening
Then you hold me like you know
And let go like you’ve always been leaving
Such a pretty shade of blue
Oh how everything looks better on you
Well if you’re my undoing, then undo me slowly
While my heart's breaking I want you to hold me
And undo me slowly undo me only
Don’t you dare hesitate, don’t show restraint
Don’t ask what comes after tonight
Don’t let it go, don’t let it die
Baby, time ain’t ever on anyone’s side
Well if you’re my doing, then undo me slowly
While my heart's breaking I want you to hold me
And undo me slowly
Undo me slowly
Undo me only
Like you’ve undone me before

Oh Jennifer!

Your name never suited you
You wear black… like it’s almost blue
You ride like a skydive
Forget like a white lie
Oh Jennifer you never loved me
You always wished to rise above me
Your rock n roll kind of falling apart
How silently you can break a heart
Oh Jennifer I never loved you
I always wished to rise above you
Your don’t-give-a-damn kind of avant-garde
How quietly you can break
Your own heart
I don’t care always suited you
You wear indifference like a silver spoon
You dress up all your favorite mistakes
Quick on the give cheap on the take
Oh Jennifer you never loved me
You always wished to rise above me
Your rock n roll kind of falling apart
How silently you can break a heart
Oh Jennifer I never loved you
I always wished to rise above you
Your don’t-give-a-damn kind of avant-garde
How quietly you can break
Your own heart
I know you by another name
You’ve never known a walk of shame
It’s all fools gold you’ll say
Like we’re just pawns in a day drinking game
Oh Jennifer you never loved me
You always wished to rise above me
Your rock n roll kind of falling apart
How silently you can break a heart
Oh Jennifer I never loved you
I always wished to rise above you
Your don’t-give-a-damn kind of avant-garde
How quietly you can break
Your own heart

Kaleidoscope
03:13

If we find the end of the world and fall off the edge
what will you miss the most?
If we find the end of the world and fall off the edge
what will you never forget?
Eyes brighter than the sun reflecting off the sea
One too many drinks but we won’t know til mourning
Dancing like you set something you thought you lost free
A kaleidoscope of all we meant to be
If we find the end of the world and fall off the edge
what will you miss the most?
If we find the end of the world and fall off the edge
what will you never forget?
Saying you’ll never leave though it’s always only half true
That feeling in your heart when words escapes
Laughing through the sadness like doing pirouettes in quicksand
A kaleidoscope of all we forget we have
A kaleidoscope of all we forget we had

Empty highways and their songs make me pine
for all we’ll leave behind
How many hearts had to break
How bottles did it take to make so many sad rhymes
There was a handshake kiss
A glassy eyed sadness
Or does spring just make you cry?
Oh did you say good bye or good night
While I hid in plain sight
You say good bye I’ll say good night
Who said never mind another sunrise
I'll miss the things I’ve never had
like I’ll miss the pretty things you used to say
Like playgrounds at night make you cry
Ghosts of yesterdays children hiding in plain sight
It was an awkward slow dance kind of love
You never touched me enough
A closeness like a crime
Oh did you say good bye or good night
While I hid in plain sight
You say good bye I’ll say good night
Who said never mind another sunrise
And if we never speak in past or future tense
We’ll never know where this begins or ends
Oh did you say good bye or good night
While I hid in plain sight
You say good bye I’ll say good night
Who said never mind another sunrise

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
there's a land that I have heard of once in a lullaby
But there's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
Oh but somewhere over the rainbow way up high
there's that land I heard of once in a lullaby
So we gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know
That somewhere over the rainbow way up high
there's a land that I have heard of once in a lullaby
And now we gotta
Stop children what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin down
Stop children what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin down
Stop children what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin down
Stop children what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin down
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There's a land that’s yours a land that’s mine
A land like a lullaby
A land that’s yours a land that’s mine
A land like a lullaby
