After Midnight
03:38

It was that created the smokescreen
The May Queen all high on caffeine
It was just after midnight when you said to me
Didn’t mean to be mean
I didn’t mean
Didn’t mean to be mean
I Didn’t mean to be mean
It was me that you wanted to make clean
I dream the May Queen
Letterboxed and widescreen
We were listening to Springsteen when you said to me
Didn’t mean to be mean
I Didn’t
I Didn’t mean

Ursula is back home and Sarah is still my friend
I don’t have to pretend
Every night I die
I don’t have to try
It’s my life
Call me up in the night
Call me up
It’s alright
Every night I die
I don’t even have to try
It’s my life
Ursula is back home and Sarah is still alright
Sarah is still my friend
I don’t want an end

You collect souls like real estate
I know I’m empty but I’m haunted
And you can’t move in
And you can’t move in
I got a story to tell once she’s done
And you will have to wait
Only the lonely
I couldn’t make it in front of the curtains
So I opted out barely making it behind the scenes
And you will have to wait
And you will have to wait
And you will have to wait
Only the lonely

An Umbrella For Sarah
02:35
|
|||
It’s always raining
The rain won’t hurt
No matter how much I reassure her
The same things will occur
Forgot to bring an umbrella for Sarah
It’s always raining
The rain won’t hurt
No after how much I defer
The conversation still occurs
Forgot to bring an umbrella for Sarah
Sarah always hated the rain
Sarah always hated the pain
Sarah always hated the rain
Sarah always hated the pain
It’s always something
You always hurt
No matter how much I reassure
She’s always so damn cold
I forgot to bring a sweater for Sarah
It’s something
You always hurt
No matter how close I hold her
It’s always so damn cold
I forgot to bring a sweater
She always hated the rain
Sarah always hated the pain
Sarah always and
She never wrote
She never called
I don’t care if I see her
She never wrote
She never called
I don’t care
It’s always raining
The rain won’t hurt
No matter how much I reassure her
The same thing will occur
Forgot to bring an umbrella for Sarah

Counting

Oh yeah maybe you’re right it’s just all the Adderall
It is never too late to take it all
Oh I haven’t slept for days
Oh I blame the Adderall
I’m counting the months
I’m counting the years
I’m counting the lives
I’m counting the hours
I’m counting the days
Everything slips
Oh maybe it’s not the Addreall
Maybe it’s the Valium
That makes me sleep for days
I’m counting the days
I’m counting the years
I’m counting the lives
I’m counting the minutes
I’m counting the hours
I’m counting the days
1 pill 2 pill 3 pill 4 pill Let’s go
I’m counting the years
I’m counting the months
I’m counting the days
I’m counting the years
I’m counting the months
I’m counting the years
I’m counting the days
Pass these cigarettes
I’m counting the days
I’m counting the years
I’m counting it all

I turned out like the pictures you
I wake in the night all I can hear is you
Every time it’s me
I want to go to a place across the sea
I want to see someone that cares about me
I don’t know what I did
Back when I was young
But 1993 took me out like a breeze
Come home with me
1993 took me out like a breeze
Come home with me

Signs

Show me a sign
Show me a sign so I know you’re fine
Give me a sign
Give me a sign
Give me a sign
Give me a sign
I don't think the pills work anymore
Oh give me a sign
Show me a sign so I know you're fine
Just one sign
Oh so I know you're fine

There is a formula
It's cold and calculated
You've figured it out congratulations
It's cold and calculated
It might be related to those narcissistic vibes that I have been catching for the past few years or so

Tastemakers In Yr Room
03:03

I woke up at your house
You weren’t home
So I thought I’d go
You are like me
Maybe I’ll talk to you
Maybe Baby
Thought of you
Caught you
Call you
(Call me up)
Caught you
Well I don’t know
Well I don’t know
Caught you
I want to wake up
I want to wake up
I want to wake up
I want to wake up
I want to wake up
I want to wake up
I want to wake up

Apartments
03:12
|

Playing my guitar in a kitchen in my apartment above a bar
The streets are crowded with smokers
Jokers telling stories
God it’s so lonely down here knowing that you’re awake up there
I don’t want to be with them
I don’t want to be with you
I don’t want to be with them
I just want to be by your side
Playing my guitar in a bar half a day away from home
I don’t recognize any of these faces
I want to be home
Just want to put my head to sleep
I don’t know
I don’t know
And I put my head to sleep
I don’t know where
Knowing that I don’t want to be with them
I just want to be with you
I don’t want to be with them
I just want to be by your side

Those days are long
The nights are longer
And I no longer find that this is working the way it used to
We are still used to that
We still want it black
She is used to that
Just as much as I’m used to the fact that after midnight I won’t last
We are still coming back
We are already back
She is used to that
Just as much as I’m used to the fact that a skeptic might be right

Sneak through the window
Out of the blue
Out of the blue
Stay true
Time never really existed
When we were together
It was better
