Lonely Again 04:35
They were simple but mean Believed in things like astrology Like they knew anything Took your patience for granted With all their kindly suggestions Like they knew anything Then you told me you hated everyone we know So we made new friends and never felt lonely again You said it felt good To ditch our superstitions Like they knew anything They misunderstood Thought that they knew better Like they knew anything
2.
Well, then there's this Then there's everything else that hurts What's there to get? Why does it have to mean something? When will I feel grown up? How long's it been something I want? When have I ever felt so young? Where'd I get the never to think I had something to say? When have I ever felt so young? When have I ever felt so young? Well, then there's this Then there's everything that fell apart What's there to get? Why would I think it meant something? Maybe I'll learn to trust that It’ll turn out okay Don't think I've ever felt that way Don't think I'll ever feel that way
3.
You calmed me down You called me out Spoke slowly as you took my hand If your heart's still in it ­ Oh, no Think of me You took me down Bruised and battered, beat around Say you love me, that you're my gal I've been holding out for you I've been calling your name I just can't figure you out I can't even remember your face
4.
Give It a Go 03:03
You said that you're bored And you're lonely That it's all my fault If I worked at it harder If I pretended I cared at all You said that you're low And unloved That it's all my fault If I worked at it harder If I pretended I cared at all Oh, then I'd give it a go Being with you beats Being alone You said that you're bored And you're lonely That it's all my fault If I worked at it harder If I pretended I cared at all
5.
Gotta know your worth Gotta know what you're working with Until they know our names Gotta show your worth Let them know what they're working with Until they know our names Gonna take what's yours Don't leave without what you're after Until they know our names Gonna take what's yours Let them know what you're leaving with Until they know our names All those lines Come undone Gotta know your worth Gotta know what you're working with Until they know our names Gotta show your worth Let them know what they're working with Until they know our names

You wore a black wig You had your collar up I wore my dad's coat Said it made me feel taller You tied that ribbon Wrapped so tight and proper With your bright red lipstick Wrapped around the bottle Oh, you've been around Yeah, you've been around long enough I've been around I should know better I've been trying to find a way to say I'm good as gone You pull me close Try to hold me tighter To keep me from running Keep me from running You kiss me hard You bite at my lips To keep them buttoned Keep them buttoned
7.
Stay out Until they turn on Every one of Of these street lights Spray paint Bad graffiti On every Everything in sight What makes you feel like... What makes you feel like... What makes you feel like you're in control? "Don't care Much for looking Into My future" Make some noise Start some trouble Make sure they know That you're alive What makes you feel like... What makes you feel like... What makes you feel like you're in control You told them to get ready They're gonna, gonna get your best Keep it coming, you keep it coming
8.
Well, there's something about the way you move Got my heart skipping to the beat You said it's quite a nifty trick the way I can leave So tell me something so sticky sweet it rots holes right through my teeth When I'm not alone, well darlin', I wish I was You get up just to adjust the knobs Need a song to move your feet Well, baby, I hope this can suffice your needs So tell me something so sticky sweet it rots holes right though your teeth You keep up late with a promise; "things are alright" Made it home a little late Because you like to take the long way Said you'd keep me around for as long as I'll stay So tell me something so sticky sweet it rots holes right through my teeth If I can't keep you around, I guess that's alright Made it home a little late Because you like to take the long way Said you'd keep me around for as long as I'll stay
9.
Said you missed feeling pretty But you still tasted sweet You breathe into me Push my fingers through Frayed tears in your jeans You breathe into me Started staying the night Started wearing my clothes You breathe into me Made you feel less alone When you heard me say your name You breathe into me Get yourself ready Get yourself ready to go Are you falling in love? Are you falling in love? You breathe into me

Walking Away 04:14
Burnt out streetlights Dress clings to your sides You picked, you picked, you picked It out for me Take a drink from your glass Let the words tremble out You asked, you asked, you asked for your man You're breathing fast As you drop your hands You wrap, you wrap, you wrap Them 'round me But I Yeah I I'm just walking away Make your way to my door Knock, scream you want more You'll wake, you'll wake, you'll wake The whole damn 'hood You switch off the lights I let out a sigh You say, you say, you say Give in to me
12.
Haul Us Off 03:20
It's when we're alone You confess to me That nothing's wrong It's just that You're so bored You can feel nothing Won't float on In urban ennui Or punch the clock It's not like we Need anything No, we don't need a thing Let's quit our jobs Take whatever we want Make some noise before they call the cops No suburban homes No cul­-de-­sacs Make some noise before they haul us off
