I'm happy I'm alone it's so hard to be alone.
I miss your loving, but I also miss my own.
And so I'm living so two-faced-èd
Nothing in me agrees.
So is this all that's in life for me?
I say I like you, but really I like me.
And why do I live so impulsively?
I feel like I am losing my mind.
Over and over my life repeats.
And so I'm down
On my knees again.
And I say,
You are who I'm dreaming for.
So I get myself down and I call it some quits.
I get myself caught up in some shit.
Yeah that's the life that I choose to live
now that I am free and easy.
If you were the moon I would have to be the sea,
because everything you do makes waves in me.
I am drawn to you eternally--the one thing I know about me
is that I will love you forever you'll see.
And so I'm down
On my knees again.
And I say,
You are who I'm dreaming for.

Glacier Dreams
02:04
|
|

So did you know
that I've never loved anyone
half as much as I do
love you sweet baby?
And if you decide
you don't need my love
right now in your life, my dear,
you should still know,
I'll be there if you need me
Cause I'm caught in this romance disease
You're the doctor I want to see
under the covers, my dear.
So take time til you're ready
Wait til you feel cool
And take time til you're ready
Oh I've been such a fool!
Yeah when you want me around
call me up I'll come down
and we'll live in glacier dreams
Yeah well I'll be around
call me up I'll come down
and we'll live in glacier dreams

Carquinez Strait
02:58
|
|
||
Marjoram flower soup of my dreams
It's been so long since I've seen you it seems
And so I ask to my dog above,
Will I again be your truest love?
Cause when I drive past the Carquinez Strait
I always look for your sweet face
Up on the roof with a beer in your hand
Yeah do you ever think of me?
But you might have already moved on
Written for me your last love song
So sure I'd get sad yeah I may get blue
But also if you're happy then I'm happy for you
One day we might play basketball and take off our clothes
The less that I see you now the more my love grows
In all of my dreams I'm with you my dear
But if you don't want me again
Well don't think a thing, yeah I'm alright, yeah I'll be fine
but you should let me know if you ever change your mind
|

My Foolish Heart
02:49
|
|
||
So you wake up with the sun
You are all ready to get shit done
No need to hurry, yeah you have all day
Whoops there it goes, hours wasted away
So I put my dogs up and I sigh
Wasting my time never felt so right
Someone come tell me I'm attractive and cool
Don't let me down, let me be your fool
Because everything is cool, don't worry
if you see me and I'm blue and down
At last I have only myself to blame
Yeah everything that's bad gets better
and I won't let it get me down
At last the past is just another part
of my foolish heart
So I get in my car and I drive
Swim naked and get in surfer fights
Get back home and feel so deranged
Check my e-mail oh I'm boring again
And I look into the mirror
Put my clothes into the washing machine
Oh sweet lord have mercy on me!
I am in love with domesticity
And everything is cool, don't worry
if you see me and I'm blue and down
At last I have only myself to blame
Yeah everything that's bad gets better
and I won't let it get me down
At last the past is just another part
of my foolish heart

I'm in Hell
01:27
|
|
||
So when I'm in the mood
I call you, love
I call you, my love
Yes it's true, I do, I do
And all night I have such steamy dreams of you
The clock strikes twelve
my heart swells
and something else...
Yeah that's the way it goes
The clock strikes twelve
I'm in hell
can't you tell?
Yeah that's the way it goes
Yeah my love I surely miss your cold toes
|
||||
6. |
|
|||
Well I don't want anybody else
if I can't have you
You are the sock
I am the shoe
So can't you hear my knocking?
I'm at your door
I don't want to be in a bed
with anybody else
unless it's you and yours
So won't you come up to me?
No more long distance open relationship blues!
I saw your face on the local evening news
Whole city's worried some other man's been hanging around
Feeling worried better hurry to your house, get my feet back on the ground
|

Goodest Graces
03:26
|
|
||
Wanna get myself in your goodest graces
I pick flowers for you but there is no sign of vases
So back and forth I dream of your good sweet loving
and I lose myself in thoughts, burn my bread in the oven
Yeah and worry for my sanity
I write you a new song every day
You'd think by now I'd have something new that I would to say
But by the time I am one hundred years old
Will our love still be a mystery?
Will I still dream of you so?
Will I never learn to be free?
Yeah never be....
Wake up in the mornings and I'm feeling so bad
But then I channel all my rage, yeah pretend it's all okay
Stay up in the evenings and I'm still feeling bad
Because I'm lost in thoughts of you and I don't know what to do
I wake up from dreams where I'm sucking on your titties
and then I bury all my pain, take a walk around the city
If I made you soup everyday, if I told you all my secrets,
if I never hid my feelings away, could you again love me?
There's nothing here that I haven't already mentioned
I'm addicted to your love but don't call an intervention
and feeling bad, two in the morning
I am looking at your pictures on the internet again
Why do I make it so hard to live?
Make it so hard...
Wake up in the mornings and I'm feeling so bad
But then I channel all my rage, yeah pretend it's all okay
Stay up in the evenings and I'm still feeling bad
Because I'm lost in thoughts of you and I don't know what to do
Unrequited love is a bore
And I guess I've got it pretty bad
But for someone that you adore
It's a pleasure, oh it's a pleasure to be sad
|

Still Waiting
02:31
|
|
||
Yes I can remember it just like it happened yesterday
You, sweet girl, saying that from now you'd rather not have so much of me in your life
And me incredulous but supportive and unconcerned
for you and I are each other's most true loves
And for the last seventy-five and a half years I have waited so long
for that phone call to come
where you say that despite all your great ambitions, you still
have a place in your sweet heart for me
(Please, please)
Darling I am still waiting
(Please, please)
You're the reason I sit and stare so long at the moon.
(Please, please)
Yeah and down the street people talk and the cars are all parking
(Please, please)
As I pick up a letter that you once wrote to me

My Love
03:35
|
|
||
Well I am on my own now
feeling blue but not feeling sad no more
And I fall asleep at the wheel sometimes
Why? Cause I can't get no sleep anymore.
So I guess that I might as well try and just face these facts
but, don't believe in nothing no more
So I guess that I'll get myself out of this house right-fucking-now
because I'm dying, I'm dying, oh no!
Am I?
Oh my
My love
Oh, sweet love
And so don't watch the TV you don't need that shit
Get yourself up off that funky bullshit
Throw your things out the door out the door out the door
Cause you're just another sad boy, yeah
Oh my
Oh my
My love sits on the edge of my dick
My love sits on the edge of my dick
Yeah, I wanna get myself to stop sleeping with whoever wants to
drag my heart out from this quicksand
Leave me alone so I can get some sleep
Leave me alone so I can get some sleep

Birthday Blues
03:13
|
|
||
What the fuck just happened
on the phone with you?
Oh what a mess this is
(oh what a mess this is)
We're so disconnected
(Oh what a mess this is)
I cannot try and pretend
that everything is just fine
Yeah, I'm a year older now
(A year older now)
but I feel like I'm going backwards
(He might be losing his mind)
So maybe I should take it easier
Drink a cup of coffee and settle down
I guess I'm just a little bit lonelier
Yeah, I guess I'm just a little down
|
||||
11. |
|
|||
Meanwhile, I'm thinking and I'm dreaming so dearly of you
Scheming of a way that I can get across the ocean blue
A barrel of laughs and a vale of tears
Oh my loving arms wait so desperately to wrap around you, dear
Yeah we could sit on the porch
drinking a beer
talking some shit
sitting so near
Cause I have so many things to do
But my favorite thing is dreaming of you
So long to all the disciplining and the sadness you bear
Yeah in a few short weeks you'll be able to attend to your own cares
But meanwhile, I'll think of you while I swim at the river downtown
When I open my eyes underwater I'll wish you were around
And if you let me be your love
well, I won't tie you down
You know i hate routines
the last thing I want to do with you is
make dinner and watch movies
And if you let me tie you up
Yup, I won't tie you down
I don't want to you to be like me
or me like you
I just wanna be your
most intimate friend

Comfort & Routine
02:30
|
|
||
I hear you've got a boyfriend now
but that you sometimes call him my name
Yeah things change but something still remains
So long to comfort and routine
Say your prayers, don't forget to brush your teeth
No more sleeping just dreaming
I heard you've got a girlfriend now
but that you wish that she was me
Yeah isn't that the way that it ought to be?
I'd like to be fat and married to you
Don't need to chase the girls around yeah I'll be true
Is there still time?
Is there still time to make amends?
|

Everybody Plays the Fool
02:36
|
|
||
So what am I gonna do
with my whole life?
I'm doggin' down on my knees
Need something to come distract me
Cause now that I've finished school
nothing more to do, yeah
Get my kicks when I work hard at things
that don't mean much to me
Yeah get my kicks when I work hard at things
that don't mean much to me
Cause yeah it's true I love you
and that I always will
But what about when you don't want me
to be loving you still?
Cause when I'm with you
Yeah, what do I do?
It's true I do play the fool for you
I'll never keep it cool
It's true I do play the fool for you
I'll never keep it cool
I was a fool to think
nothing could change
I was a fool to think
that everything would just stay the same
So who is that calling me?
Is it you, my love?
I'm doggin' down on my knees
Need some of your sweet, sweet sympathy
I'm doggin' down on my knees
Need you here next to me
|

Turns Out
02:46
|
|
||
Turns out I feel a little insecure
about you being in another's loving arms
Was sort of feeling so mature
but turns out my luck's run out
so I lose my fucking shit
Yeah, late at night, no moonlight,
I'm such a fucking kid
So I lie down on the grassy ground
and oh
And when I call you in the eve
You Dr. Phil, Montel my feeling blue away
And I can hardly believe
Oh my sole, I love you so, eternally
You make my heart full of reverie
and all my fears disappear away from me
|

Indolence & Confusion
04:06
|
|
||
Half asleep in the afternoon sun
talking to yourself
Who are you supposed to rely on
now that all your grandparents are gone?
Sun-sun-sunshine the days are getting hot
you wanna drive your car
to the ocean for a dip
Get that cold feeling deep inside your restless bones
So am I meant to go through life caught up
in all my indolence and confusion?
Or am I meant to go through life caught up
in all my indolence and confusion?
And I know, I know it's not easy to do
but imagine if you loved your friends
the ways that they love you
Oh yeah I know, I know it's not easy to do
but imagine if you loved your friends that way
I know, I know it's not easy to do
but imagine if you loved your friends
the ways that they love you.
Oh, oh, I know, I know it's not easy to do
but imagine if you loved your friends that way
In what city do you forget me?
What boy takes my place?
I sit down in the park
and I think of your most lovely face
There's a boy in pajamas
He's having so much fun
throwing grass at the people
Uh oh, his dad comes running
and he's screaming and grabbing
The boy gets sad, starts crying
I feel so sorry, so sorry, so sorry, so sorry
So am I meant to go through life caught up
in all my indolence and confusion?
Or am I meant to go through life caught up
in all my indolence and confusion?

The Mopes
01:21
|
|
||
Thursday, had a bad case of the mopes
Woke up late, feeling like I am a joke
Turn around, shut that shit down now
Yeah sit in the sun, then you won't feel so low
Cause it's a bad mood rising
Say it's not so
Well if I seem a little jittery, I can't control myself
I'm falling into patterns of making myself unwell
Fancy kids out on the town
Stand and sneer, make sure they see you frown
Cause it's a bad mood rising
Say it's not so
Back at home alone misanthropy enters my bones
I screen all the calls and the messages on my phone
And if I was ever sad
Well try not to let me stay alone
Cause it's a bad mood rising
in my soul
|
||||
18. |
Halfways & Lonesome
02:09
|
|
||
Caught myself daydreaming about you
Then I hit a parked car oh boy, oh boy, oh boy
Yeah fall asleep and dream of your good loving company
Sail along, say so long, the ocean and the breeze
My love I feel halfways and lonesome
My pillows confess that they miss you too
My love I've got these arms that need loving
Bad case of the puppy dog blues
There's the train going by my open window
I wanna ride it to you
|
||||
19. |
Birds & Bees
01:57
|
|
||
As the day grows dark
and the dogs outside bark
and the birds and bees all whisper your name
I lie myself down
in an old familiar town
where everything always stays the same
It's getting colder now
I need your loving arms
to wrap me up
and keep me warm
|
||||
20. |
Cry Cry Cry
03:29
|
|
||
I lie in bed all morning
Oh I feel like I wanna die
Cause again it looks like I took advantage of someone
and sold them on my lies
But Adam's on the telephone
He says, "come on, honey, don't be so dumb
You've got to put some clothes on, dust yourself off,
yep, try and move on"
So
Oh! God damn
I must be out of my mind
Thinking that you could ever
want me again to be the apple of your eye
And so, oh fuck
Yup, looks like I messed up this time
It's three o'clock in the morning
I'm eating cereal, yeah,
I also might be crying I don't know
Well I've got no time for worries
because worries take up all of my time
Yeah be aware I don't much care
for the troubles of a worried mind
But if anything is clear now
it's that I'm adrift at sea
My life has all gone mystery
now that I don't know who I should be
And so
Oh! God damn
I must be out of my mind
Thinking that you could ever
want me again to be the apple of your eye
Ah fuck
Well, looks like I messed up this time
It's three o'clock in the morning
I'm eating cereal
but I also might be
(Crying)
Yeah I might be crying
(Crying)
Cry, cry, cry, cry, I might be crying now
(Cry Cry Crying)
Come on, baby, just come on, cry, cry, cry to me
(Cry Cry Crying)
Crying, I'm crying, yeah I'm crying
|

Bad One
04:21
|
|
||
Misunderstood again
what it was you wanted from me
Oh what a mess this is
Waiting for your text message
Trying to keep myself cool and not assume anything
And if I could just let it all go
nevermore put these bad thoughts on you
Wouldn't that be better than pain and sorrow?
No more bad assumption blues
When I get home I take off my jacket and shoes
Look in the mirror at this person
who lays such wicked judgment on every little thing
yet somehow think I'm deserving of your love
So am I making myself clear?
I'm a bad one now
Feel like I've changed so much in the last year
but I'm still a bad one, yeah
Oh, well, would you look at this here?
Another sad, sad song. Why?
Cause it's a break up album
And if it wasn't a breakup album
maybe I could sing a different song
about: dogs, lizards, ice cream, soccer,
anything, literally anything but another sad breakup song
And so I'll sit and cry
But instead I'll just sit and cry
Cause I have so many sad songs
Yeah I've got the blues can't be satisfied no more

Saudade
01:26
|
|

Want to
be in your
in your soft sheets
Looking at
the window moon
Saudade...
Misunderstandings
will come and go
but our loves grows
My love
My love
Saudade...

Too Soon
03:16
|
|
||
Darling, why the fuck did I think
that I might be okay
not spending my time with you
each and every day?
You know you're the first thing I think of
when I wake up at home
I am badly adjusting
to this life alone
(And caught up in thought
I am on the back porch
Wishing that I was sitting
right next to you of course
And caught up in thought
beneath the bright moon
I dial your number
but know/no it's too soon)
(So long to my sweet love
I am sadly without you now
And oh well, can I get my heart together
for my own good?)
So long, dear darling,
my sweetest love,
Yeah, that's right I'm sad about you now
I am heartbroken and alone
Wave bye bye to the love of your life
You don't know if she'll ever come on back to you
But I'm gonna wait for you
I'll be here waiting for as long as I can
Cause you're the girl of my dreams
and you always, always will be
|
||||
24. |
|
|||
It was love at first sight
The first time I saw you walking in the pale moonlight
Yes, I was so moved I almost cried!
When we're apart too long a little piece of me always dies
I woke up this morning and I felt a little low
Yeah I was wishing and hoping and bending down low
Too much, too much time that we've been apart
Why do these last, long distance days have to be so hard?
I'm thinking of hitting the road
Braving ice and sleet and snow
Driving all night just to wake up next to you
Just so I can wake up next to you
