Certain Predispositions.

There will be no tragedies Your lullabies, they're all sounding like sirens now Just like Heather Rhodes when she was 17 years old Put another cigarette out in the square of my back Memories might last for years And birthday cakes, they always taste like crap This isn't an insult to your intelligence We both already know how you feel about that This isn't an invite, this isn't anything at all Except for the fact that you're here and I'm gone Saw someone today who looked exactly like you It's funny how the years go by Saw someone today who looked exactly like you It's funny how the years go by

my mother once told me she walked into the ocean didn't want to die just couldn't tell where the horizon was wanted to have a closer look why is this costume weighing me down? and my head hurts air to sails down tired of being lonely trying to rest and I don't wanna get up error lies in hoping when I'm walking and my dear is running lines, lines on the back of my hand why does love keep letting me down? my head hurts prepare to sail down write the lines with the back of my hand why does love keep letting me down? why does love keep letting me down? letting me down

Took my love Took my freedom Took my love You tried breathing

Your love will be Safe with me

Love me warm in cold daylight Soft as skin and safe inside Smother silky sin so fine Make believe that you are mine On my own Tears and sorrow set me right Taught me how to dream tonight

I thought I heard you whisper It happens all the time I thought I heard you whisper It happens all the time

Somehow it's already been a year Embracing all diversions to make this feeling disappear Now I just feel you everywhere It coincides with the guilt of knowing that I wasn't there I was told that you wouldn't have known Told myself I was where you'd want me to be But it's not that easy I tried to be your light Did my best to shine Nothing I do feels right As I went out all the time How has it already been a year? I skip over songs because they're too hard to hear Like track 2 on "Benji" or "What Sarah Said" They just hit too close when I'm already in my head I was told you were half asleep Told myself you would be proud of me But it's not that easy I tried to be your light Did my best to shine Nothing I do feels right As I went out all the time Somehow it's already been a year You keep finding new ways to make yourself reappear I hope you never leave me be I haven't found that courage to listen to your last message to me

I remember when I first noticed that you liked me back We were sitting down at the restaurant waiting for the check We had made love earlier that day with no strings attached But I could tell that something had changed, how you looked at me then Kristen, come right back I've been waiting for you To slip back in bed When you light the candle And on the lower East side you're dancing with me now And I'm taking pictures of you with flowers on the wall Think I like you best when you're dressed in black from head to toe Think I like you best when you're just with me and no one else Kristen, come right back I've been waiting for you To slip back in bed When you light the candle And I'm kissing you Lying in my room Holding you until you fall asleep And it's just as good As I knew it would be Stay with me I don't want you to leave Kristen, come right back I've been waiting for you To slip back in bed When you light the candle

Lover you may cause me tears Drag me through the best of years But I love you so

The book of love is long and boring No one can lift the damn thing It's full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing but I, I love it when you read to me and you, you can read me anything The book of love has music in it In fact that's where music comes from Some of it is just transcendental Some of it is just really dumb but I, I love it when you sing to me and you, you can sing me anything The book of love is long and boring and written very long ago It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes and things we're all too young to know but I, I love it when you give me things and you, you ought to give me wedding rings I, I love it when you give me things and you, you ought to give me wedding rings

I backed my car into a cop car the other day Well he just drove off sometimes life's OK I ran my mouth off a bit too much oh what did I say Well you just laughed it off it was all OK And we'll all float on OK And we'll all float on OK And we'll all float on OK And we'll all float on any way Well, a fake Jamaican took every last dime with that scam It was worth it just to learn from sleight of hand Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands Good news will work its way to all them plans We both got fired on exactly the same day Well we'll float on good news is on the way And we'll all float on OK And we'll all float on OK And we'll all float on OK And we'll all float on alright Already we'll all float on Now don't you worry we'll all float on alright Already we'll all float on alright Don't worry we'll all float on

It’s lonely trying to be yours

i do such a fucking dorky dance to this in my room, totally unapologetically 

Crazy for lovin' you

You say you've got them guns but I've never seen you bang You say you've got them drugs but I've never seen you slang You say you're in the game but I've yet to see you play You say you're going hard but nobody feels the same

Thinking outrageously I write in cursive I hide in my bed with the lights on the floor Wearing three layers of coats and leg warmers I see my own breath on the face of the door Oh I am not quite sleeping Oh I am fast in bed There on the wall in the bedroom creeping I see a wasp with her wings outstretched North of Savanna we swim in the palisades I come out wearing my brother's red hat There on his shoulder my best friend is bit seven times He runs washing his face in his hands Oh how I meant to tease him Oh how I meant no harm Touching his back with my hand I kiss him I see the wasp on the length of my arm Oh great sights upon this state! Hallelu- Wonders bright, and rivers, lake. Hallelu- Trail of Tears and Horseshoe Lake. Hallelu- trusting things beyond mistake. Hallelu- We were in love. We were in love. Palisades! Palisades! Palisades I can wait. I can wait. Lamb of God, we sound the horn. Hallelujah! To us your ghost is born. Hallelu- I can't explain the state that I'm in The state of my heart, he was my best friend Into the car, from the back seat Oh admiration in falling asleep All of my powers, day after day I can tell you, we swaggered and swayed Deep in the tower, the prairies below I can tell you, the telling gets old Terrible sting and terrible storm I can tell you the day we were born My friend is gone, he ran away I can tell you, I love him each day Though we have sparred, wrestled and raged I can tell you I love him each day Terrible sting, terrible storm I can tell you...

I know I would die if I could come back new
