Come Back, Ana

What is it that you cannot let go of? It’s certainly not me / Hardly a thought was spent on us / You didn’t want me / loved from birth / left the earth / Ana, come back / come back / loved from birth / left the earth / Ana, come back / come back / I suppose you can really overthink / something like this or anything... I’m thinking about taking a walk / A little walk alone / A little walk around the block / Around the block alone / loved from birth / left the earth / Ana, come back / come back / loved from birth / left the earth / Ana, come back / come back

Crosseyed

You look at me like I’m cross-eyed / and I’m not sure I’m not / I’m telling you we’re going for a little ride / And you’re giving it all you got / I didn’t sleep at all last night / Even though you know I’m right / well maybe you and me / should’ve been a thing / That would’ve been great, right? You look at me like I’m cross-eyed / You’re giving it all you got / Making sure the facts are all on my side / cuz I’m pretty sure you’re not / I’ve got two feet on the ground / Even though I know you’re not around / a mouth full of dirt / so i won’t get hurt / Trees falling never make a sound / You look at me like I’m cross-eyed / and I’m not sure I’m not / I’m telling you we’re going for a little ride / And you’re giving it all you got / and I’m so sure I’m not

The Drought
02:36

|
Her mouth is dry. She’s half asleep / Squeezing drops of yellow pee / Her skin is dry. Her head hurts / Can it get much worse / Can it get much worse / My baby needs water / but the water’s run out / How will we make it / through the drought / through the drought / How will we make it / through the drought / Can barely stand. She’s burning up / She wants to cry. Her skin is tough / Her spinning head. Her heart might burst / Can it get much worse / Can it get much worse / My baby needs water / but the water’s run out / How will we make it / through the drought / through the drought / How will we make it / through the drought

Fractions

|
two-thirds of my body / two-thirds of everything we do and of you / three-quarters of our journey / three-fourths of the rock we rest upon is half gone / Half-full glass of water / Half-full underwater... two-fifths of my time is spent out of my mind / the rest of the time is with you / one-third of my options / two-thirds of all that I do is not for me / it’s all for you / Half-full glass of water / Half-full underwater... guitars! Half-full glass of water / Half-full underwater...

Worse Today

|

You look worse today / But who am I to say / On any given day / I wish I didn’t look this way / I find it hard to breathe the air / Did I agree to smile and share / Is everyone ok but me? I feel worse today / Worse in every single way / Just gotta get on through today / And hope he answers when I pray / I find it hard to breathe the air / Did I agree to smile and share / Is everyone ok but me? (I am worse today) but I have to stay

You’re Making It Worse
02:09
|
|||
|
I don’t know what to do nothing seems to work / and you keep on making it worse / I called you here to help / you said you’d break the curse / but you keep on making it worse / You’re making it worse / Every day in every way / You’re making it worse / You’re pouring gasoline onto the flames / You’re making it worse... You got a lot of nerve to call yourself a nurse / cuz you keep on making it worse / You’re making it worse / Even when the room is clear / You’re making it worse / Like a blowtorch blowing flames in my ear / You’re making it worse... You’re making it worse / Every day in every way / You’re making it worse / You’re pouring gasoline onto the flames / You’re making it worse

I Hate This
02:06
|
|||
|
I spent the morning with an old friend, I think I’ll go to bed / The smell of smog hurts my head, so I stay up instead / Come to think of it it’s been a week, since I’ve been asleep / When the morning comes I want to shout, but I can’t make a sound / Why stay through all this mess well I hate this / I hate to swing and miss yeah I hate this / (whistle) / I feel the bubble rising to a burp, unless I stop it first / I hear her gasping in the other room, well she should dust her broom / Why stay through all this mess well I hate this / I hate to swing and miss well I hate this / I hate this

Now and Then
02:33
|
|||
|
Things didn’t go so well for us yesterday / We can both use a fresh coat of paint / The why is not your concern / I know what you are, what you were / Now and then / I smell a rose / I feel the grass / between my toes / Now and then / I’m finally out of the mail room / I like to know what I’m walking into / I see you in the window / Are you out, are you in, though / It’s hard to tell if you’re in a fresh coat / Now and then / I smell a rose / Facts are facts / between my toes / Now and then... Now and then / I smell a rose / Feel the grass / between my toes / Now and then / Now and then / Now and then

Dead Horse
02:34
|
|||
|
We’re gonna have to hear it again / take out the bats and call your men / So strike a match at the count of ten / It's good to have a dog around / It's the least you can do for me now / Before I burn the whole thing to the ground / You might see things differently of course / if you hadn’t seen the dead horse / Over and over again, in your head / Over and over again, in your head / I should’ve kept this away from you / That’s what she told me I ought to do / And I knew it, I certainly knew / I might see things differently of course / if I couldn’t shake the dead horse

Ghost Stories
01:56
|
|||
|
Gather around the campfire tonight / And listen to the stories they tell / You’re welcome to share one of your own / Or you're welcome to keep it to yourself / Gather around the campfire tonight / The ghosts may pay a visit from hell / I’d strongly suggest you not sleep alone / That's not smoke that you smell

Shouldn’t she be / Shouldn’t she say / Everything / In every way / Who do I need / Who needs me th’ most / Who do I see / The pretty ghost, the pretty ghost / Shouldn’t she float / Above the ground / Shouldn’t she walk / Without a sound / The pretty ghost, the pretty ghost / The pretty ghost, the pretty ghost

Good Morning

|

|
Well, goodnight to me / I expect the sweetest dreams / I’d never have guessed at this end / You’re falling asleep / lying next to me / I’m guessing that we’re now much more than friends / Well I can’t wait to say / Good morning baby / I can’t wait to say / Good morning / Well, I fell asleep / eventually / and I dreamt all night of the day / I woke up first / Ignored my thirst / And lied in bed and stared your way / Well I can’t wait to say / Good morning baby / I can’t wait to say / Good morning / Good morning / Good good good good morning
