[VS1]: I woke up the Fosters They called out a curse I'm tired of weekdays My tongue's getting worse I like when it rains here I can't go outside I hope you still like me I'm scared in my mind
[PC1]: All the weather's out And every day feels like today Got no promises Attention is scrolling away Feel the rhythm hold me down I look outside and see
[VS2]: My friends are in safety They still make me laugh My surface is shaking He looks like a calf I hate when I sleep in I like when I sleep I don't wanna wait for you But at least I'll get to speak with you
[PC2]: Eyelids heavy now I only hear the things that you say Can't remember it But I can see the light in your face Feel the river hold me down I look outside and see There's sunflow'rs again There's sunflow'rs again
[VS3]: Not sure what I'm thinking It's harder to say Don't know what I'm feeling But you feel okay You're holding me forward I'll do what I can If I could move faster I'd stay where I am
[PC3]: Hold these doors There's more of 'em when you look away You're myself At least that's what I want you to say I feel you pull me down I look to you and see There's sunflow'rs again There's sunflow'rs again
[CH]: I'll put you away for the moment Can't sleep away what you've given me now I know I'll cry in the mornin' Keep wonderin' if you were even there I'll put you away for the moment Can't sleep away what you've given me now I know I'll cry in the mornin' Keep wonderin' how you were even there 'Til the flowers Come back
Well I been wastin’ here for weeks just simply thinkin bout the calories I know I’ve had it all before so what’s one more While you been sleepin’ on your car and dreamin’ bout the touch that broke your heart Your diner’s flickerin’ with light I hope you haven’t changed your mind about missin’ me
[CHORUS: And I’ll be with you soon Do you think it’s true then the kids come pourin’ in to the sink It’s my fault Kick it along and share the pain with me and I’ll be runnin’ along the fence Do your thing I know I missed the night so pois’nously with the tea It’s their fault K-keep it cold for me and I know I’ll be with you soon ]
Well you been floodin’ all the tubs and losin’ money on your reccin’ clubs I’m wearin’ sunscreen for the fun I ate a gun We can talk about your dad I missed the way your music makes me sad We’ll string our LEDs around a movie with no sound This building sounds like love
[CHORUS]
Another harbinger to go I swear your slapstick never let me go I’ll take your em’nate vertigo I want to go go go go go! You’ve got a cycle on your phone An’ your Manga Carta’s gonna take you home You feel the pavement on the lawn but you’ve brought the drinks in on and on and they disintegrate my bones
We’re tossin’ boulders on the shore Your clothes are kickin’ down the door And I love your belly button more Don’t tell me what your friends are for We’ll lose the bats in the sky You’ve met the perfect guy Don’t mind the way that you lie in the car with your head pointed out to the wind We’re drivin’ out into the wind
[CHORUS] x 2
I’ll be with you soon Yeah, keep it cold for me and I know I’ll be with you soon

Uh, so, uh, take that number, divide it by two...)
I’m dead and my beak is filled with the dirt from the garden I’m not hungry, just fed to the brim I guess I just wanted to taste how I feel in your grip with the snow comin out of your eyes
I’m tired of kissin your hands every time that you whistle I know I’m a terrible girl I’m not gonna fix just because I know you want me to ever since I got home
I thought you’d get choked up, got your eyes shut, and you’re yellin in a cave I guess I’m just selfish, you’re the brightest car I’ve ever hit
[CHORUS: And I can tell from your skin that I’m lettin you down but I guess it’s just what I’m doin now it’d really help me out if you’d stop believin I’m better than this I got twelve cups and they’re all filled with lye so I’m watching you bleed with your eyes stop believin in me stop believin I’m better than this ]
I’m holed and my breath is still with your eyes from the steeple I can’t tell what you want me to say I’ll walk but I’d rather be runnin I’m not one to lie but I guess I’m too wrong to be true
I coulda kept quiet about all the stones that you fed like the loves that I held in my head there’s no one be- neath it’s just me so I’m sorry I’m not more profitable
I thought you’d get on top, but you’re not done, and I’m walking off the field You can call me selfish, you’re the brightest car I’ve ever hit
[CHORUS]
Pretty pictures all the other kids are swimmin alright she says she thinks we all think alike
Just say it’s alright and kick me off but don’t paint me away I may boil myself but don’t spit in my face
I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holed in, holed in holed in, holed in
I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holed in, holed in holed in, holed in
(I guess I’m just selfish, you’re the brightest car I’ve ever hit)
Oh, I can tell from your skin that I’m lettin you down but I guess it’s just what I’m doin now it’d really help me out if you’d stop believin I’m better than this I got twelve cups and they’re all filled with lye so I’m watching you bleed with your eyes stop believin in me stop believin I’m better than this
I’m not better than this Oh no, Stop believin in me Stop believin in me Stop believin in me Stop believin in me Stop believin, oh I guess I’m just selfish, you’re the brightest, holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin holdin, holdin holdin, holdin holdin, holdin hold
(holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m holdin my breath and I’m)
Look out the window it’s time for the sanitization Calm down sailor the end’s just an anchor aweigh Well you killed any love that I had for the organization So write your letter but we all know what you’re gonna say
[CHORUS: I couldn’t wait I couldn’t wait for the end of term It’s been a long day comin home I couldn’t wait I couldn’t wait for the end of term It’s been a long day comin home ]
You tried, buddy but you can’t depend on your slander now The boots of the people will stain all the back o’ your coat Was it worth it to try holdin back all the Mountain Due? Was it worth it to shout at the crowds just to end up alone?
[CHORUS]
Roll out the carpet our friend here is takin a final bow You’ll look your best when you’re givin your closin speech And there’s no defendin your ass now the grownups’ll take it from here now say hi to the devil when you get back home from the beach
[CHORUS]
It’s been a long day comin home It’s been a long day comin home It’s been a long day comin home
The only time I lie at peace is when I’m swimmin’ in my lay You kiss me gentle and my heart feels nice she’s got nothing to say I must remiss myself for what the world has given me today Romantic Hamlet for my skull’s become a Microwave
[CHORUS: What else am I supposed to think? Show me what else I can think What else am I supposed to think? Show me what else I can think ]
Hope I don’t lose myself because of how these fists pound on my head We woke up coughin took a walk around the morgue and paid the rent Study-compose and theorize but shoot ‘em out? I don’t see why ‘cause she’ll condole and you’ll say “fine” but you’re still stuck with this guy
[CHORUS]
You keep my quietus my bones are fine my bod-can take a few I know you care-an all but no one needs so I’ll carry-on with you A cigarette without the taste If I can’t digest I just chew A radon test A flashing light Don’t tell me we’re just like you?
[CHORUS]
I kick it over all the time Well I can train it if I try An early bed but still no sign of progressing past the web-foot line Department expiration lights They see me staring at the tide And Paris baby wants a ride I know she can’t be far behind
I woke up the Fosters They called out a curse I'm tired of weekdays My tongue's getting worse I like when it rains here I can't go outside I hope you still like me I'm scared in my mind
All the weather's out And every day feels like today Got no promises Attention is scrolling away Feel the rhythm hold me down I look outside and see
My friends are in safety They still make me laugh My surface is shaking He looks like a calf I hate when I sleep in I like when I sleep I don't wanna wait for you But at least I'll get to speak with you
Eyelids heavy now I only hear the things that you say Can't remember it But I can see the light in your face Feel the river hold me down I look outside and see There's sunflow'rs again There's sunflow'rs again
Not sure what I'm thinking It's harder to say Don't know what I'm feeling But you feel okay You're holding me forward I'll do what I can If I could move faster I'd stay where I am
Hold these doors There's more of 'em when you look away You're myself At least that's what I want you to say I feel you pull me down I look to you and see There's sunflow'rs again There's sunflow'rs again
I'll put you away for the moment Can't sleep away what you've given me now I know I'll cry in the mornin' Keep wonderin' if you were even there I'll put you away for the moment Can't sleep away what you've given me now I know I'll cry in the mornin' Keep wonderin' how you were even there 'Til the flowers Come back
I’m up ‘cause you’re in my room I’ll keep-a myself from sleepin’ There’s nobody else in you Is it worth it to keep on dreamin’? Is it worth it to close my hair or brush my teeth in the mornin’? Is it worth it to go upstairs? I dunno, but I sure am thirsty
You woke me up inside your mind and said there’s nothin’ here to see I felt your ankles when they sprained but all I understood was grief I came to you in search of Hobbit holes, some earlobes, and a dream But all you said was “here’s a mess, go stuff it up and fix me!”
My sparrows told me there would come a day you’d paint yourself in blue Don’t disrespect the way you talk to me the way I talk to you I hear MacBeth within your eyes I read MacDuff around my feet I guess we all prefer our lies so I say damn the whole thing!
I don’t wanna sleep with you I’m not gonna take your reasons I wish I could keep my cool I guess we could call it even
[CHORUS:
I’m gonna be big someday I don’t know what’s so important I cry ‘cause I want my way I jump ‘cause I can’t ignore it I wanna be everything I’m not gonna live forever I can’t hope to live with me If I’m just gonna give you everything ]
I stopped sweating through my pores because the Sun just doesn’t give The man I use to start a war is not the man I use to live Twenty miles an hour and silent as the kingdoms in the Alps We’re just the corpses of the future kin we used to care about
The nights I stare myself to death The hours spent murdering my nose The mi’r exposes me yet it’s the mi’r of that I hate the most Oh, how we’re stranded in the Mississippi kickin’ at a can I may be toothless but I just don’t see the gun in your hand
I just came to walk away It don’t matter if you want me Go on then and stuff your face I’d rather be dry and starving
[CHORUS]
I want to tear my face apart I want to squeeze you into space I want to step on all the stars and make this medicine my grave I want to set this house on fire and swallow dollar bills and change But most of all I want to kill your thoughts and prove I’m not a waste
I want to sail across the sea and drown in paper cuts and lime I want to scrub out all my teeth and make ‘em sharper than the sky I want to knock out all my friends I want my friends to poison me But I’m still yellin’ in my room so I say fuck this whole thing
I’m gonna be big someday I don’t know what’s so important I cry ‘cause I want my way I jump ‘cause I can’t ignore it I wanna be everything I’m not gonna let me fear you I can’t hope to live with me Please repeat yourself, I can’t hear you!
[CHORUS]
[miscellaneous cheering and whooping]
Is it worth it to save a life? Is it worth it if it’s my own? Is it worth it to feel alright if it means I can find my home? I just wanna leave something and everything hurts like hell If nothing is anything then anything could be anything
If I were you I'd think my face is a pie Maybe it's the makeup Or the way that you die When I dance on the ceiling It makes me alive But if I were in focus I think you would fly Fly, fly, fly, bye
I've metal-bonded my tent To the clothes that I wear I don't think that it matters I don't think that you care I came to the circus 'Cause the people are here And they don't want my tears
[CHORUS So cial, so So see-ah the show So cial So come see-ah the show I'm so cial, so So see-ah the show I'm so cial So come see-ah the show ]
(yeh)
I poked your eyes in the summer You can burn me today Think that I see it comin' I'll hand you the flame "There's plenty o' room here" You gave me a smile But I'm afraid if I sit My bones'll turn to a pile A high and mighty pile
I'm so scared if I miss you That I'll miss you some more Think if I'm bein' honest That I'm bein' a bore You said you want Good vibes only today So I'll throw me away
[CHORUS]
A banquet in the evenin' I'll be there tonight Lately I'm your puppet And you're my pride Think if I share my soul I'll get a laugh outta you So I'll lie and say That's what I intended to do
'Cause no one believes me Don't think that I'm real Where do the jokes end And where is the peel The gag in my mouth, dear It sings me a song But it can't hold for long
[CHORUS x2]
Come see-ah the show Come see-ah the show Come see-ah the show Come see-ah the show
Feels like I just woke up Where's that music comin from? I don't remember drivin' over but somethin' just told me I should get less comf'table 'Nd I never seem to say what I mean but I swear I mean it now Keep an eye on your friends Drink up your insecurities with me if you haven't got a number
Well you sang (you sang) your heart out, Miss Yesterday (Miss, Miss, Miss Yesterday) But you'll come back some other way And we'll blame all the rain on the door and the frame 'Cause life just happens anyway
It's almost New Year's Day Champagne has found its wings They're cryin' out for one more heartache One round of musical lips is passing by (yiay-yiay-yaiy-yiay-yiay-yiay-yiay)
Been watchin' him all night Oh, you gotta be quicker than that I pictured there'd be fewer bodies n' voices that I could save it and just talk to him He cannonballs on all my bills And I spent too much of my year just starin' at the dreams of livin' things I think my watch is broken
'Nd if I'm alone ('Nd if I'm alone) when it plays (when it plays) I get the privilege of my own face (my own face) 'Nd I'll save my hoorays for the mornin' bidet Hell, I'll just send it anyway
It's almost New Year's Day Champagne has found its wings They're cryin' out for one more heartache One round of musical lips is passing by I know it's okay I just hate to hear you say it once again Can't shake the question: "Will it ever be?" Babe, it's almost New Year's Day So here I'll stay
(sick kazoo solo)
I don't remember (don't remember) All the yesterdays (all the yester, all the yesterdays) What did I want? Honey, what did I say? Give me a moment while I pick up my pace with the truck that's been comin' up the highway
It's New Year's Day Champagne has found its wings They're cryin' out for one more heartache One round of musical lips is passing by I know it's okay I just hate to hear you say it once again Can't shake the question: "Will it ever be?" Baby, it's New Year's Day And nothing's changed
I only know how to write one song and that’s “I Miss You” I’ve missed you more than I’ve ever loved myself in my whole life I know it’s not alright but I had a birthday just like that 1975 song but this time you were really there and I was gawkin at your hair and we talked until I had to leave my bed
I been scrollin through my cells tryin to teach myself how to think right but sometimes my consciousness goes away ‘cause I wish I was a loner in seaside I just wanna spend all of my money on a car and just live around It’s not ideal, but at least I’ll be really alone and I’ll fall asleep just lookin at the stars and subconsciously wishin I was missin my arms
[CHORUS: I’m dancin in the bed of my truck like we did that one time (that one time) Workin like a drug lookin for some love for another time (oh another time) I know you’re really gone but my brain is sayin otherwise Don’t even know what I would do if you walked into the room What’d I expect? I guess I’ll go to bed one more time (on my own time) ]
I keep lookin for you out in the forest except I know I won’t find you I know it’s probably embarrassing to know That I’m still dreamin about you and I don’t tell my friends about it cause I’m scared of what they’re gonna say Should I just keep lyin and hopin that I don’t have any dreams? I’m full o’ doubt, words really can’t amount but I can’t keep livin in the same old house
Sometimes I wish that I was an artist instead of honest with you ‘Nd sometimes I wish that there was a change in what I wanted to tell you Oh, and have you got a girlfriend now? (have you got a girlfriend now?) cause I swear that’s all they ever used to talk about and you (talk about) shouldn’t feel guilty for anything I do cause I’m not that sane anymore
[CHORUS]
I’m startin to regret that I ever told you anything Cause it takes away the dream of me, and cause it’s all true ‘Nd thought all year you’ve been the only one I’ve thought to exist I can’t stop from thinkin like a narcissist Just tell me if you’re done, I wouldn’t blame you one Cause I only ever hope for myself
I’m dancin in the bed of my truck like we did that one time Workin like a drug lookin for some love for another time I know you’re really gone but my brain is sayin otherwise Don’t even know what I would do if you walked into the room What’d I expect? I guess I’ll go to bed one more time (on my own time)
For All We Have by Levi Robinheart
[sung to the tune of Auld Lang Syne]
Keep me awake and ring me out of ars’nic and of love Fulfill my weary trav’ling wish reaffirm the skies above For all we have is fear and hope these ends will gather means And ‘spire new beauty for our world and all of life between For grave surrounding time and love take hold of what you need For all we have is fear and hope and all of life between
