all clean now but still the same fuckheads
hear you sighing from the edge of my bed
got the planetary waves to keep us safe from
everything the future could bring
making new love to replace what we’ve lost cause
even forbidden fruit gets rotten
this is the real life getting bored in paradise
feeling lucky just to be alive for this
suburbenna (?) summer
nothin much for us to do
libras in the sky and i
just can’t do it without you
sin and pain,
they bring me down to rest
you sing your love spells
they go down so specific and
i know it’s not
some kind of a moral flaw
it’s just something wrong
with the way we were born
but come a little closer
i got something that’ll keep us cool
sweet honey pie we’ll be dead and alive
but i just can’t do it without you
(all clean now,
and no, you’re no dog)
(but baby i would be yours,
if you’ll just be in my band)
gh gemini perfection
just two slaves to the changing moons
i am afraid of so many things,
but i’m not afraid of you
just one song won’t fix us completely
and so your life must go on
your voice sounds the way that autumn feels
oh sophie, how i love you

Oh Cassandra

i like the way that your sweaters
frame your shoulders and hang over your hands
and the way that when i talk to you
you just can’t stop fixing your hair
and i don’t mind it much when you say my name
or let a smile slip when i say yours
girl we could get out of those post-teenage hell
all you gotta do is say the words
oh cassandra, cassandra, cassandra
you know there’s nothing in the world that i wouldn’t do for you
oh cassandra, cassandra, cassandra
maybe little lady there’s a new unknown to escape to
i think it’s alright when the look in your eyes
betrays the quiet vibe you try to exude
and it says to me oh so sincerely
oh god i just wanna feel something new
it’s all good when all of my words
just wanna come right out at the same time
don’t you know i’m bored and depressed too
could you help me get it off my mind
oh cassandra, cassandra, cassandra
baby there ain’t nothing in the world that i wouldn’t do for you
oh cassandra, cassandra, cassandra,
maybe if we put our hearts together, we can make something new
isolation and ennui
it isn’t any way to spend your early 20’s
you are too earnest and far to sweet
to let it all go slipping away
i just wanna feel new things
and i wanna hear new sounds
and if you wanna make them with me
i think i’d really love having you around
so just tell me what you want
and girl i’ll give you all i got
tell me what it is you know you really need
oh cassandra, just lay it on me
oh cassandra
oh cassandra
oh cassandra, cassandra, cassandra
you know there’s nothing in the world that i wouldn’t do for you

Breathe Easy

ginger, carrots, cinnamon
mix them together in a love potion
i’m living healthier these days
quit smoking, starting lifting weights
and you’ve made me an emotional vegan
don’t need no pieces of meat
no, i’ll get wasted on your peaches
i’ve got pixar in my blood
learning to be happy
til the day the rest of my life finally comes
and running out the clock
existential angst is all made up
and i was a puddle of ugly mud
until i felt your eyes and saw the sun
then the night time comes, and i’m screwed
thinking of you and eating health food
nicotine gum and a candelabra
turn the ac down, cozy up
take it all into your lungs
hold, and breathe easy
fertilize those planted pots
hang outside with your foster dog
don’t think about the day that she’ll be gone
provide a better future crushing capitalism
there’s a meteor shower down at the state park
head that way when it gets dark
tell me about your namesake
point her out to me in the night sky
one of these days you’re gonna feel better
you’ll be the person that you’re meant to be
one of these days you’re gonna feel better
your spirit will turn the air
to violet and oxygen
take it all into your lungs
hold, and breathe easy
have trouble expressing your emotions
have trouble living with how you feel
find the places where it’s safe to hide
loving isn’t easy but it’s worth a try
one of these days it’ll all make sense
one of these days it’s gonna be perfect
one of these days you’re gonna feel better, babe
turn those headphones on, and cozy up
take it all into your lungs
hold, and breathe easy

oh she's not my girl
no i'm only a mortal, she's on another plane
no she's not my girl
but she says to me all the loveliest things
she says don't you know that electricity
makes me feel like such a sweetheart
don't you know that there's still hope for this world
don't you mind the chaos, no, not at all
oh she's not my girl
but she says to me (what'd she say?)
hey if we're not married by this time next summer
let's run away to california
she says if you can't fix your heart right
there's room for one more inside of mine
she says if you're not sleeping soundly anymore
you can come and sleep in my bed just for tonight
oh she's tall and she shines just like a sunflowah
she makes me wanna play my guitar and sing forever
not she's not my girl, but she gives to me
a gift she doesn't know only just by existing
and i would rather inject bleach into my bloodstream
and i would rather eat a block of swiss cheese
and i would rather vote for a republican president
than go a single day without this girl
oh she's not my girl
but she says to me all the loveliest things
oh she's a sunflower girl
and i know she'd make a decent man outta me
she could pack up her life and move right into mine
and still be gracefully in touch with some kind of divine
she's not my girl, but she shines like a sunflower
and she makes me wanna play my guitar forever

foxy mama at the hookah bar
dancin girl down at fsu
i had dreams for the first time last night
and woke up lookin for you
almost make me wanna get out of bed
almost make me wanna go to the gym
but i'm stuck on the wrong side of i-10
i don't want you to be just a friend
cause i got a lot of big ideas
and you got nothing on your mind
when i woke up from my sleep this morning
everything was clear
i just need you
started schoolin me on dad-rock bands
i talked about the blues
when you weren't here with me this morning
left me feeling so confused
almost make me wanna fix my head
almost make me wanna go to school
but i'd rather live in this fantasy baby
so i'll be waiting for you in my bed
cause i got a lot of love to give
and you got empty spaces inside
when i went to make my morning coffee
i knew that it would set us right
i just need you
used to never wanna stay in bed
used to almost wanna blow out my mind
but i had dreams for the first time last night
woke up wishing you were by my side

please don’t ever let the world around you
take away the love inside your heart
defend all of your virtues with everything you’ve got
i know it’s hard
when the world’s
just not as
lovely as your thoughts
please don’t ever let all of your trauma
keep you from becoming who you are
your tenderness is showing, and it looks awesome as fuck
i know it’s hard
when the world’s
just not as
lovely as your thoughts
sometimes i swear i don’t know how to you do it
got the darkest eyes i’ve ever seen
and yet you are the sun, and so i am the grateful moon
try to reflect the light you shine
greet your sadness with a loving handshake
sit down and talk a little while
it’s not always easy to be kind and true and gentle
but i like watching you do it, and girl you’re doing it in style
please don’t ever let those evil spirits
put out the light that shines inside your soul
fight with all your power, call on heaven, they owe you a favor
i know it’s hard
but the world
needs you, baby
more than ever before
it takes strength to understand the fear and anger
it takes courage to be a friend
you may not always get every little thing you want
but it’s alright
life goes on, and good things come
to those who live with loving hearts
