Eternal Monologue
00:52
|
|||
The first time I heard someone say
(that) "Nothing lasts forever"
I knew what I wanted to be
When I grew up

Clean Apartment
02:17
|
|||
I got tired of waiting
So I went to the ATM
Withdrew twenty dollars
So I wouldn't overspend
Went to the cheapest bar
Within walking of my house
Drinking happy hour wells
Until I couldn't feel my mouth
I tried to dismiss your advice
But I've embraced it as hard as I can
I'm still not so sure
It'll make me a better man
Having trouble with my drinking
But not feeling a thing
I'm talking to my landlord
The rent can wait a week
There's a pain in my stomach
Is it hunger or is it whiskey
I'm not really sure
But I'm not trying to think clearly

The day my mother died
My father called to tell me
So I borrowed a truck
And drove to Arkansas from Missouri
The rain was coming down hard
The weather crying for my sorrow
I touched her body it was so cold
I never warmed up completely
The day my mother-in-law died
My now ex-wife called to tell me
So I drove the half hour
To where they were both staying
I listened to Neil Young's Like a Hurricane
With my headphones on the highway
I declined to see the body
While my ears, they were ringing
|
||||
4. |
||||
I never said it'd be easy
A conversation ain't a promise
My dreams are lofty
My head's already in the clouds
I've been adding it up on my fingers
You kiss me goodnight
Like it solves all our problems
We were given language
Why won't you use it
|

Girl Canyon
02:21
|
|||
I said "you're leaving me for a woman
Is this how it felt when your wife left?"
You said "just move to Arizona
And see my heart get ripped out again"
If you're gone how will I know
When the fear of dying alone
Is the only motivation in my life
I know you're sick of this story
You've heard it many times over the years
We've asked for advice from each other
But we've never gotten closer to an answer
|

Precious Stones and Gems
01:33
|
|||
I keep describing
Your eyes like diamonds
Even though I don't put much personal value
In precious stones and gems
|
||||

Bank Holidays
00:47
|
|||
The banks are closed and you're not around
I'm not surprised at all that you've left town
The summers hot, the summers long
Unlike our love it's going on and on
But like me love it fades every year
Wait around for a new season to begin
The forecast calls for the hottest on record
The weather report is not made to be trusted
|

Population Crisis
01:45
|
|||
I'm back inside the bar
For the first time in a week
It's just like your hometown
You never really leave
But instead of a cemetery
My family's names all in a row
I'm confronted with my failures
They're being forced down my throat
How can I find love
When the world's overpopulated
Every corner of the earth
Has someone who's better than me
And I know that'd selfish
What with famine and disease
I just can't help it
I'm not known for empathy
|
||||

Optional Party
01:00
|
|||
I'd probably care about politics
If I cared about more than just myself
I try to think of the good times we've had
But I only recall the bad
|
||||
10. |
Nothing Special
00:46
|
|||
How many days should I count down
How many songs should I write
It's doesn't matter now
I'm no longer in your sight
|
||||
11. |
Click It or Ticket
01:06
|
|||
I'm quiet when I orgasm
I'm quiet when I care
I'm shaking cause I'm anxious
I'm nervous cause you don't care
We are fucking on the regular
Please quit calling it "The Reg"
Do I love you, I don't know
When I say that I'm not being rude
I don't know if we will ever get along
But I'm trying as hard as I can
I drove to your house without my seatbelt
For you I'm living on the edge (the edge)
|

If I'm Being Honest
02:06
|
|||
There seems to be fresh contest
With every breathe I take
On this cold winter night
Despite unseasonable warmth
Our disagreements will forever stay
Like a stain on my heart
I roll over alone
Even when you're by my side
|
||||
13. |
Trees
01:54
|
|||
If I don't say that I love you
Does that mean that I don't
If you never hear this song
Does it make a sound
If I wake up in the morning
How can I recognize the light
I've done it before
I can live without you in my life
|
||||

Premonition
01:03
|
|||
And you tell me to go to sleep
I'll feel better in the morning
Well that's quite the assumption
Don't you think
Maybe I'm tired
Maybe I'm drunk
Maybe it's my death bed
I would never know
I don't want to go to sleep
I don't want to wake up
I don't want to be sober
I don't want to be drunk anymore
