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

Felt So Young
03:24

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

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

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

Know Our Names
03:25
|

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

Trying to Say
03:15
|
|||
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

Keep It Coming
05:14
|
|||
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

Cause of Cavities
06:13
|

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

Breathe into Me
02:58
|
|||
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

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
