Hello, how are you
Can I ask you a question
In the middle of a sentence like you always do
I know you're trying
But I am still not buying
So I guess you'll have to take it at face value
Bark little dog (ooo)
I see you're waiting
The train's still at the station
But I'm not sure if there's anymore that I can do
It's hard to let go
If anyone knows I know
But you're killing me with anxiety, yeah that's the truth
Bark little dog (ooo)
I wish you'd leave me alone
But you still follow me home

Take off your coat and your shoes
And stay awhile
Brace yourself
For the storm that is coming
Every time that I open my mouth
Brace yourself
Settle in for the long haul
Grin and bear it darling
I'm a piece of work
With a laundry list of repairs to be to done
To be done
Why don't you make yourself at home
As I spill my guts across the floor
Cause I'd rather die than admit I'm alive
And uncomfortable
Settle in for the long haul
Grin and bear it darling
I'm a piece of work, oh
The villain and the victor just the same
I'm an ocean of empty promises
And you deserve more than I could ever give
I am nothing but wistful wishes
I'm the worst, I am cursed
And I'll never live it down
No, I'll never live it down
No, I'll never live it down
Why don't you make yourself at home
As I spill my guts across the floor
Cause I'd rather die than admit I'm alive
And uncomfortable

Almost Happy

Whatever I touch, I fuck it up, yeah
A walking disaster stuck in a rut, yeah
Wish I had the sense to leave it alone
But wherever there's chaos I am at home
Ooo...
Whatever I see, I just can't believe
You've got it together, but I'm dying to breathe
Wish I had the guts to tell you the truth
But I am a coward through and through
Ooo...
It's almost like I'm almost happy
It's just where I belong
A constant state of almost happy
To undo everything at once
Whatever I touch, I fuck it up, yeah
Just a regular anti-Midas
Whatever I feel, that's what I get
Guess I should have learned, but I haven't yet
Ooo...
It's almost like I'm almost happy
It's just where I belong
A constant state of almost happy
You've got it all and I've got none

As Cool As You
03:24
|
|||
|
Sweaty palms and smoke alarms
It's just like high school once again
Hiding in the bathroom
Bumming a cigarette from the coolest girl I know
I wonder if she'll tell everyone I'm awkward
Or if she'll keep it to herself
I like the way she does her hair, her leather coat
And I like the way she sells it
I'll never be as cool as you
So I won't even try
I'll never be as cool as you
And I'll never know why
Magazines and teenage dreams
It's like I'm sixteen once again
Waiting for the perfect opportunity to let you know I exist
Maybe today I'll join the club
And sit with the coolest kids in town
But I'm tripping over the foot in my mouth again
I'll never be as cool as you
So I won't even try
Yeah, I'll never be as cool as you
And I'll never know why
I don't wanna be as cool as you
No, I won't even try
I don't wanna be as cool as you
And you'll never know why

My Unfortunate Friend
04:17
|

If I stay in place and wait my turn
I'm still moving through the universe on my own terms
If I try to hide in my own mind
I get left behind the rising tide and bide my time
But time is my unfortunate friend
Always one to put things off
Waiting for the perfect chance to get the point across
We've got at least a few more years
Treated like an infinite timeline, but then it disappears
Time is my unfortunate friend
Fast when it's fun, slow when the pain comes
Always too much, but never enough
Just slipping through my finger tips again
No, not again
Time is my unfortunate friend
It's my best friend, it's my best friend
Time is my unfortunate friend
Weighing heavy in this empty room
Grasping for a past of late night laughs on open roads
I've waited long enough for this
But long enough is way too long and now it's done
Time is my unfortunate friend
Fast when it's fun, slow when the pain comes
Always too much, but never enough
Just slipping through my finger tips again
No, not again
Time is my unfortunate friend
Time is my unfortunate friend

The Lucky Ones
04:32
|

|
I'm not sure, but I think I've evolved
To the point I piss everyone off
They think I don't know, but I know
Cause I'm a pretty intuitive asshole
I want it all
But it don't make sense
Guess I'm at a loss
For winning in the end
Maybe we are the lucky, the lucky ones
Our inheritance a dying sun, we're the fortunate ones
It don't make a difference
At war with divisions
It's no one's decision but there you go
And I'm fine
I'm fine
I'm fine
Am I convincing enough this time
I can't shut my mouth when I need to the most
I can't close my eyes not to deal with your ghost
It's like living inside of a coffin
That I built for myself
I want it all
But it don't make sense
Guess I'm at a loss
For winning in the end
Maybe we are the lucky, the lucky ones
Our inheritance a dying sun, we're the fortunate ones
It don't make a difference
At war with divisions
It's no one's decision but there you go
And I'm fine
I'm fine
I'm fine
Am I convincing enough this time
Will you change your mind
