Is this where life's been leading to?
Midnight in the kitchen with you
18 score and 6 spins ago
Had no idea where this might go
Spent the last week thinking about
All the ways that this could play out
Now I'm here I did not expect
This effect you'd have on me
Oh, but it's you
It's you
Oh, but it's you
It's you
You drink your fun, you keep your cool
I hold my tongue, muffle the fool
Tonight I'll sleep today away
Tomorrow back to yesterdays
Leaving soon, I might as well
Risk it all, what the hell
Just as I'm approaching you
I'm greeted with my dream come true
It's you
It's you
You know it's you
You know I do

For my Friend
04:35
|
|||
|
Oh, good morning
I stretch my legs out, regretting
My voice is gone, what for
Then I remember, it's our second & last December
I wish we'd stayed out more
That's what friends are for
There's no loving quite like doing nothing with you
How can I convey? Friendly foreplay?
In the kitchen on your birthday?
I wouldn't have it any other way
There's something
I scratch my brain, I'm forgetting
The days before you
Knew me - did anyone try being so mine,
or was I so alone?
How was I to know?
There's no living quite like sinning with you
Once a year maligned,
But never so unkind
Trust me when I say that I don't mind
Now nothing
But 4 hours stop us from touching
I see you still but I
Miss you, my car feels empty, my house feels empty, my life feels empty
I know, I knew you'd have to go
There's no dying quite like when I'm crying without you
5 months, I'll suck it up
Is this growing up?
Trust me when I say that I love you
Trust me when I say that I love you
Trust me when I say that I love you
Trust me when I say that I love you
Trust me when I say that I love you
Trust me when I say that I love you

Snow
01:40
|
|||
|
I do it for you
You do it for you, too
I know I'm the fool
What have I turned me into?
'Cause I know you don't want me to(o)
I want you to know
I'm okay with the snow
I'll lose all my fingers
As long as you never go
I think that I came out ahead, though
At least I know what "no" sounds like coming from you
Someday you'll see
How we could be
One of the couples
From When Harry Met Sally
Just tell me what to do
As long as you like me,
I love you

Reassurance (gonna need)
01:01
|
|||
|
Wait...
Can I get you to write it out on legal paper?
A signed document confirming that you even like me at all
I could use a fortune teller to tell me whether
We'll be together in a few weeks, 'cause I'm done talking to the wall
But, when in doubt
All I need
Is to take out the book of nice things you've said to me
But, when in doubt
All I really need
Is to take out the notebook of nice things you've said to me
Just gonna need a little bit of reassurance
Just gonna need a little bit of reassurance
Just gonna need a little bit of reassurance
Just gonna need a little bit of reassurance

Escalation
03:16
|
|||
|
Please tell me if that's not what you meant
'Cause at this point I'm afraid to ask
I can't tell which of us went too far
Or if I'm not going far enough
(maybe I should talk us down, negotiate or speak less loud but no)
Speaking through a megaphone
(Escalation)
Punches taken punches thrown
(Escalation)
Tell me if I'm getting through
(Escalation)
I'm just saying, you must be confused
We're turning into the folks we hate
Or maybe it's always been that way
These things are never worth the pain
But you and I are stubborn to a fault
You try to give a hint but you know I can't see cues quite like you do
I don't even know what I'm trying to prove anymore
Sometimes I think about how you and me could ever get along
I know this ain't right, but you're so wrong
(maybe I should talk us down, negotiate or speak less loud but no)
Speaking through a megaphone
(Escalation)
Punches taken punches thrown
(Escalation)
Tell me if I'm getting through
(Escalation)
Oh, what you're saying isn't true!
(Escalation)
I'm just saying, things have got to change
I'm just saying, things have got to change
I'm just saying, things have got to change
I'm just saying, things have got to change
I know I'm selfish,
I can't help it,
Maybe we could find a compromise,
Concede, you take half of my head
The half that would apologize

prelude to Lighthouse

Come with me, I need to know
In the tower beyond the meadow
Is where the answer lies

Lighthouse
04:29
|
|||
|
Through the trees, we walk
Make our own path, we talk
Of things we thought we believed
Oh the bugs, how they bite
Oh the leaves, how they might
Poison us with ivy
In our minds resides not a single doubt
That you can see our love
From the top of the lighthouse
I was told by the man
Who sits at the foot of my bed
Coordinates to which he led
He touched my arm, made it clear
Dissolving all my fears
This is what we need
I can only imagine what you think of me
But I'm willing to trust you
I don't have to imagine what I think of you
But trusting love is what good lovers do
We ascend up the stairs
Spiral up, the light glares
And you don't look so sure anymore
I know what I should see
I think I see it behind the trees
Follow my finger, you disagree
In my mind resides not a single doubt,
That I can see our love
From the top of the lighthouse
I can see our love
From the top of the lighthouse
Can't you see it too?
Can't you see it too?
Can't you see it too?
Can't you see it too?

Lost Cause, pts 1 & 2
03:12
|
|||
|
And what a shame it is that this is such a lost fucking cause
And I'm left here with all the gauze
from when you scraped my face across the pavement
And you're out talking to your friends
While I'm still tied up in your basement
What's this derangement
See usually people spend some time
Sad about this kind of shit before they leave their entire past behind
But then again, I don't know how you feel
Since you very intentionally cut me out of everything, while you pretend I'm not real
You made it so impossible to see what you were really thinking
Maybe if you let me see right into you without your blinking
You know I wouldn't like what I would see
[reflection]
I just can't figure it out
What's the deal with you?
I can't imagine
I just can't figure it out
What is wrong with you?
Please fill me in
I just can't figure it out
What's the deal with you?
I can't imagine
I just can't figure it out
ugh...
[final burst of anger, I have better things to worry about]

Can't You?
04:04
|
|||
|
I came with the assumption that
Tonight I would be functioning but
You-you're here, so all bets are off
Can't you tell I'm hanging onto
Every word that's leaving your mouth
And finding ways to make them about me
I would guess that I'm projecting
What I want on what I can see
But what do I know anyway?
I place my weight on one heel at a time
I'm swaying under your spell
Or maybe I'm just dizzy
No, I think there's something in you
And something in me that wants it so damn bad
And if you'd only let me put my finger on it
I know we'd both be glad
When I'm all alone, my thoughts decay
Into thinking of cool shit I could say
But when you're finally here
I know it's best to wait, wait, wait, wait
I'm hoping that your subtleties are
Secret keys to open a door
But maybe I'm afraid of walking through it
Can't you tell I'm sweating through my
Skin I'm barely keeping it together
I'm soaked through to the bone
I feel your eyes upon me like a
Coat on when it's snowing
But the coat can read my mind and the snow knows what I'm feeling
I'll tell you that I'm thinking what I'm
Thinking without using my mouth
Or maybe using it in a different way
Now sing me to sleep
With words you learned pursuing your degree
And I'll pretend that I know what you mean, oh
And maybe tonight
If cards are played correctly
We'll be a new species
An eight-legged monstrosity
A spider whose nest
Is a bed in the night
Oh, we'll split back in two
At first sunlight
Can't you see I'm yours?
Can't you see I'm yours?
Can't you see I'm yours?

Had She
02:48

Had she
Had she
Only seen what he really meant
Oh, had she
Had she
Only seen what he really meant
Can't say I'm waiting for the day
Just seeing all the weight take you stumbling down
Don't know you well enough to be
Won't shield me from complicity
Had she
Had she
Only seen what he is taking from her
Oh, Had she
Had she
Only seen what he's really wanting from her
Tinting your windows let the light
Wait outside, he pulls the blinds, "leave them behind,"
(don't let them see you like this, they wouldn't get it anyway)
Oh, they'll never know quite what he means
No, they weren't there
Oh, he means the best, you tell yourself
what's one more bad day?
That's what he'll say
Had she
Had she
Only seen what he's really wanting from her
Had she
Had she
Only seen what he is taking from her

Read My Mind
03:09
|
|||
|
My words of a lover
Answered by those of a friend
She smiles as she offers
Innocent conversation
Am I sure? She asks if it's okay.
What did she think I'd say?
Who does she think I am? In the moment, her
Words mean more than
The bliss of my ignorance, cognitive dissonance,
It can't be that she can't be mine.
Couldn't she read my mind?
She stays so oblivious
I act against my own interests
I find I'm starting to struggle
feigning my indifference
(self-inflicted, never worth it)
Probe more, how did she meet him?
Block four, I wish I could see them
flirting and having the time of their lives
I choose to wither while they start to thrive
My blood pumps in gallons, my stomach jolts out of place
But a smile stays planted on my face
I fake I'm fine
Couldn't she read my mind?

Blue, Gray
01:56
|
|||
|
She brings a welcome breeze
When I haven't felt the cold for quite some time
She holds the seven seas in her eyes
They blend right into the skyline
I see her two or three times a year
But she finds a way to stick around
My intentions aren't so clear
I fear expressing them out loud
She's elusive but she finds
A way to occupy my mind
She's elusive but she finds
A way to occupy my mind
She's elusive but she finds
A way to occupy my mind
She reads me like a picture book,
But when I look at her I might as well be blind
I think I'm not what she is to me
I know I need an act of god
She's got stratus clouds in her eyes
They embrace me like a fog
I cower in the shade of my
Excuses to remain alone
If she's feeling something too
I never ever would have known
Oh, no

Lighthouse (reprise)
01:22
|
|||
|
All of the paths through the trees
I can trace
Take me back to this place
Taller than me, 108 steps,
I can't see what I once could
Clearer now that you did what you should
Though you could have saved
The years that we wasted
Without you I feel at ease
Still in my mind
Kept a single doubt
Did you ever love me at all?
Still in my mind
Kept a single doubt
Did you ever love me at all?
