Vanessa 04:08
I am so in love with her but I am so unhappy She’s so smooth but insecure, I wanna tell her don’t be She wears black, all black on black, I wanna see her brighten And see her lift her legs right from my lap Oh no, I think I’ve fallen in it Oh no, it isn’t any use Oh well, I should’ve left her sooner She says it’s so cheap to think the afterlife is given One shot’s it, you’re born and live and then you’re good as nothing Oh no, I think I’ve fallen in it Oh no, it isn’t any use Oh well, I guess my word means nothing I just wanted to tell her I won’t deal with the peacefully No, I’m just not like that I just wanted to tell her to walk out for a piece of me Cause he’ll take you right back Oh no, I think I’ve fallen in it Oh no, it isn’t any use Oh well, I should’ve left her sooner Oh well, I should’ve left her sooner

You say you work on weekends At seven in the morning You fuck me like an old friend You say your ex was pretty boring, well me too When we walk into bodegas I thank God they’re open late-night Maybe someday I could date you We’ll play dress-up and I might need you And I’ll still pretend that I’m your man And you’ll never mind me staying out when you’re at home in bed And it’s the fool who fell for you No, it’s not me talking, don’t believe a word he says to you Oh let’s pretend you’ll picture me too So tell me what you’re into And I can do you that way Throw you back against the window Leave your clothes all in the hallway with your shoes Show me to your best friends I’ll wear a brand-new t-shirt So a better first impression Is what I leave when it’s all over with you And I’ll still pretend that I’m your man And you’ll never mind me staying out when you’re at home in bed Oh and it’s the fool who fell for you No, it’s not me talking, don’t believe a word he says to you Oh let’s pretend you’ll picture me too Yeah ooh-sha-la-la, ooh-sha-la-la Ooh-sha-la-la, ooh-sha-la-la Ooh-sha-la-la, ooh-sha-la-la-ah So let’s pretend that I’m your man And you’ll never mind me staying out when you’re at home in bed Oh and it’s the fool who fell for you No, it’s not me talking, don’t believe a single word he says to you Oh let’s pretend you’ll picture me too Oh let’s pretend you’ll picture me too Oh let’s pretend you’ll picture me too

I once met a girl at a bar I know She drank herself to sleep in her dinner coat It was a quarter past noon She whispered me a welcome from her lips and lungs But really she was speaking from the wine she drunk Yeah she said, “It’s nice to meet you, You treat me so, you gentleman Would you take me home and back to bed, Or is it only that I’m dreaming?” I took ten steps and then she yelled at me, “I have for you a letter won’t you come to me?” She signed it Deirdre: “I’m sorry for your time and this is out of line, But I wear it on my sleeve and if you wouldn’t mind, I won’t leave with out you, So let me take you home to the west coast Let me take you home, you can see my room Or are you not the type for leaving?” Yeah, come around fall you know I made it east My friends they had all settled down so pleasantly But I was swimming Life was pretty rad in that New York sun But I bought myself a car, it was a decent one And drove to Austin To find my love had up and gone To find my love with another one Or is it only that I’m dreaming?

High Tops 03:58
Don’t you know that you’re the only queen Of this one-horse town You’re the only one that meant a thing to me You’re still hanging around You’re still hanging around I used to see you on the sidewalk, standing in your high tops Ruining your pretty lungs with your cigarette smoke It ain’t keeping you young Touch me like you know me, baby when you’re lonely Kiss me on my open mouth I’ll throw you a rope, I’ll keep pulling you out All the years that came and went for you Are you feeling it now? All the pretty things I tried to say to you But when I opened my mouth No, nothing came out I used to see you on the sidewalk, standing in your high tops Ruining your pretty lungs with your cigarette smoke It ain’t keeping you young Touch me like you know me, baby when you’re lonely Kiss me on my open mouth I’ll throw you a rope, I’ll keep pulling you out Hey Celine, I open up my heart it’s all for you You can take or leave me any way you choose Hey Celine, I open up my heart it’s all for you You can take or leave me any way you choose I used to see you on the sidewalk, standing in your high tops Ruining your pretty lungs with your cigarette smoke It ain’t keeping you young Touch me like you know me, baby when you’re lonely Kiss me on my open mouth I’ll throw you a rope, I’ll keep pulling you out Hey Celine, I open up my heart it’s all for you You can take or leave me any way you choose Hey Celine, I open up my heart it’s all for you You can take or leave me any way you choose Hey Celine, I open up my heart it’s all for you You can take or leave me any way you choose
