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

Let's Pretend

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

Deirdre Pt. I

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

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
