Don't Say Nothing

When you’re tired I’ll take it slow till you fall into place
And I start pulling at your clothes, the look upon your face leaves me wasted
You lift up your hips for me to help me take it off
And would you fake it to be good to me, cause I’ve been proven wrong
But you’re shaking, yeah you’re shaking and making noise
Don’t say nothing, cause I love you when you don’t know what to say
It helps me make you something that I wouldn’t ever have to change
You turn twenty-one tomorrow, go cut up your fake
Yeah you tell me you like older men, well I’m twenty-four in may
And in the quarter-century I’ve lived, I only bought a double bed to sleep with you
Sitting here in old New York, I picture you in love
With some honey-boy you met him back at home when you were younger
And you adore the way he moves, just like I adore you
Please say something, cause I’ve been growing lonesomer each day
And I need your questions to even feel a little bit okay
Tell me how you slept last night, did you wake in a daze
Of memories from ‘fore you knew my name?
And tell me what can make you cry, did you eat enough today?
Cause you’re looking awful skinny in the face
Don’t say nothing, cause I love you when you don’t know what to say
It helps me make you something that I wouldn’t ever have to change
Don’t say nothing, cause I love you but you gotta act your age
To help me make you something that I wouldn’t ever have to change
To help me make you something that I wouldn’t ever have to change
To help me make you something that I wouldn’t ever have to change

Theory of Emotion

Hey, when she looks sad
I get horribly nostalgic for the times we had
Throwing plates, surprise attack
Yeah we fought like we were acting in an improv class
But through it all we still managed to laugh
Do you take me as I am?
Cause I’ll take you as I am
And I don’t take things lightly
And I feel nothing mostly all the time
Am I dead behind the eyes from loving you too tightly?
That reminds me
Of a poster I saw hanging at the dentist
I was late for my appointment
But the lady at the desk was awfully patient
She said, “honey won’t you sit across from me?
Pour yourself a coffee, choose a magazine.”
Do you take me as I am?
Cause I’ll take you as I am
And I don’t take things lightly
And I feel nothing mostly all the time
Am I dead behind the eyes from loving you too tightly?
Do you take me as I am?
Cause I’ll take you as I am
And I don’t take things lightly
And I feel nothing mostly all the time
Am I dead behind the eyes from loving you too tightly?
Too tightly?

Chastain

Man, I just wanna live a day as a blonde
I’ll look like Jessica Chastain
Get mistaken for a man with a job
Taking sessions on my lunch break
You won’t believe what an apartment will cost
Been living right by the freeway
Watching TV in my Dollar-Store-Socks
I don’t get out much these days
Convince myself that I’ve been talking too much
Picture hours of replay
It’s pretty lonely just writing a song
When you know your friends are all moving away
And I just wanna see a picture of mom
From when she was my age
Was she hard to get as everyone thought
Was she happier in those days
Sleeping, getting paid
Subway’s running late
Leaving the rest up to question
Just to find that you ain’t got it made
Weather ain’t been bad
Floss and take a bath
Leave all the rest up to question
Just to find you hardly ever laugh
Man, I just wanna be the type to forget
Oh, the embarrassing montage
Seeing picture from when I was a kid
Down at the beach with my brother
And I don’t wanna be a ghost when I’m dead
I think I’d tire of jump scares
Sitting quiet at the foot of your bed
Watch you crying from the top of the stairs
Work out, pay the rent
Thinking bout your ex
Leaving the rest up to question
Just to find that you got nothing left
Fall back out of love
Take too many drugs
Leave all the rest up to question
Just to find that you ain’t young enough
And when I’m feeling sad
Just remember that
I’ve got songs to hide behind until the feelings pass
It ain’t much of a life
But maybe once or twice
I’ve felt magic touching pen to paper in my time

To Philly
03:53

When you’re drunk you love sending me photos of you with nothing on but your shoes
When i sleep late always have some kind of dreams of you
I will not mention what we do
When i wake up it’s almost supper
And you come back to haunt me, don’t you?
You shaved your head just two days before I met you with your best friend in your room
I thought you were by far the prettiest girl in the room with no hair hiding none of you
When it grows back you’ll find another
And you’ll go back to Philly, won’t you?
On your wall you hung that sock I left in your room
Was it Hanes or Fruit Of The Loom?
On your laptop saw that sticker I gave to you
With my band name written right through it
When it peels off you’ll want another
Then you’ll go back to Philly, won’t you?
You’ll go back, you’ll go back
You’ll go back and live in that apartment where you’ll learn to be alone
Picture that, picture that
Picture me drunk calling you on Friday nights
Begging you to meet me halfway love
I pray your mom ain’t lonely in that big old house in the suburbs
Do you reckon she misses her daughter?
Do you reckon she’d find another
If you don’t go back to Philly, lover?

Laid Down My Arms
04:29

Where you been of lately?
Cause I’m missing your cheeks
The ones upon your face babe
And the ones above your knees
You could be a meal now
Leave nothing but your ribs
Or I could settle you a new town
In the mountains where you lived when you were just a kid and I swear
I laid down my arms on the day you came along
Yeah I laid down my arms on the day you came along
“How can I be helpful?”
Said the lady on the phone
“Oh and ain’t the weather dreadful? It’s all a plan to keep us alone.”
Pinch me, pinch me, pinch me
So that I know I’m awake
And what does “teach your man to fish” mean?
It’s to survive another day
I’ll hold you if you hold you
Self-respect I pay it back
And tell your old boy that’s the old you
So he don’t come around here thinking that he’ll get you back cause he won’t though
I laid down my arms on the day you came along
Yeah I laid down my arms on the day you came along
I spent my whole life fighting fear after fear
yeah all my days, all my days
I’d do them over and over and over and over again
I’ve been right here before I’ve made up my mind
Yeah all my days, all my days
I’d do them over and over and over and over and
I laid down my arms on the day you came along
Yeah I laid down my arms on the day you came along
Where you been of lately
Cause I’m missing your cheeks

Don't Let Me
04:28

Lord don't let me wake at night
Picturing the hands that might be holding her
Though we're far past burned
I left her for to grow up in
The burned out hole, the skeleton of our parents debt
That this city kept
But please don't let me think of that, please don't let me think of it
I've wrote songs for skinny girls
Who could bare to let me hurl my soul to them
And stick to plans
You start with one and end with three
It's all for fun until it's bad to me and I lose my grip
And I fall in it
But please don't let me think of that, please don't let me think of it
Please don't let me think of that, please don't let me think of it
Carola told me on Lexington
Baby when you're older you can have me then
I'll still want your love when you lose your touch
Smoking reds I had her on my back
I think of then and I imagine that I should've kissed
Those famous hips
I'd scream promise me this ain't all for dead
Did I waste your time pulling thread by thread?
That stuff is cash and you lose it fast
But please don't let me think of that, please don't let me think of it
Please don't let me think of that, please don't let me think of it
Please don't let me think of that, please don't let me think of it
