Float

Can it be
My anchor is floating
Away from me
I see her exploding
So far at sea
She’s floating back on
A melody
She floats
Can it be
My secret is knowing
She salvaged me
She’s making a fortune
In chivalry
She’s towing the line of
Indecency
She floats
She floats
She floats
Can it be
My sister is going
Away from me
She’s tired of knowing
Our family
She’s tired of knowing
Our family
She knows where she’s going
She knows how it’s going to be
She knows how it’s going to be
She knows how it’s going to be
She knows where she’s going
Float
Float
Float
Float

Used To Know Her
04:34

I used to know her
I used to talk about her
Waiting for the day when she
Would listen
I used to know her
I used to stick up for her
Something in her smile
Made me glisten
I used to sing
I used to sing
I used to know her
Used to know all about her
Used to need her
There was something about her
I’m used to torture
It’s the best way around her
I used to know her
Now it just doesn’t matter
Oh yeah
I used to fuck him
I used to simplify him
Something in his walk was like
Jim Morrisson
I used to touch him
I used to justify him
Lying to my face with my
Permission
I used to sing
I used to sing
I used to fuck him
Used to fucking love him
Used to need him
Now I read all about him
Used to touch him
Now I could never kiss him
Used to love him
Now I don’t even miss him
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
I used to know her
I used to terrify her
I used to terrify her
I used to terrify her
I used to terrify her
I used to terrify her
Used to sing
We used to sing
I used to know her
Used to know all about her
Used to need her
There was something about her
I’m used to torture
It’s the best way around her
Used to know her
Now she just doesn’t matter
Oh yeah
She just doesn’t matter
Oh yeah
She just doesn’t matter
Oh yeah
She just doesn’t matter
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

Color You Black

Don’t expect anything
And nothing can hurt you
Don’t reveal anything
And no one can read you
Don’t respect anyone
And no one will dare
Remember you
You’re stuck in the air
You look pretty scared up there
You’re caught in the light
Of billions of stars in flight
And they’re on your side
Don’t survive anything
And nothing can sink you
Don’t sustain anyone
And no one can claim you
Don’t reflect anything
And nothing will dare
Resemble you
You’re stuck in the air
You look pretty scared out there
You’re caught in the light
Of billions of stars in flight
And they’re on your side
Yes, they’re on your side
How you love the light
Throwing you back through time
Throwing you back untied
Color you black
And you might die
Don’t follow anyone
And no one will fall
In love with you
You’re stuck in the air
You look pretty scared out there
You’re caught in the light
Of billions of stars in flight
You’re stuck in the air
I wish I could meet you there
And be by your side
I’d be by your side
I’d be by your side
No matter how bright
You shine
No matter how bright
You shine
No matter how bright
You shine
No matter how bright
You shine

Better Alive
06:17

You are the night
I settle into you for the first time
You are the fight
I wrestle you to the ground
You bring the height
I just bring you down
You’re better alive
And I scare the life out of you
You’re better alive
I can’t steal the rights to you
You’re better alive
Do I dare kneel in front of you
I promise to try
I promise to try
I promise
You are the way
I love you like a new day
As long as it takes
I will be around
I’m killing the time
But time just slows down
You’re better alive
I knock the wind out of you
You’re better alive
And I begin to doubt you
You’re better alive
I can’t live without you
I promise to try
I promise to try
I promise to try
I promise to try to be light as I can on your back
When you fly
Fly
Fly
Fly
You are the life
And I can’t live you down
You’re better alive
I knock the wind out of you
You’re better alive
I begin to doubt you
You’re better alive
I can’t live without you
I promise to try
I promise to try
I promise to try
I promise to try
I promise to try
I promise to try
I promise to try
I promise to try
I promise to try
I promise to try

Hate The Way
06:57
|
|||
Nothing’s safe
Nothing’s everlasting
Nothing’s safe until you die
Heaven waits
All the angels clapping
Watch the sparrow hit the sky
I hate the way you live without me
I hate the way you live without me
I hate the way you live without me
Nothing’s wrong
I’m not sentimental
For the first time in my life
But something’s gone
Something so essential
Something keeping me alive
I hate the way you live without me
I hate the way you live without me
I hate the way you live without me
I wish I could hide you
In a place where no one could find you
Please
Please
It’s not too late
Nothing’s ever over
And no one’s ever satisfied
And I will wait
Up for you forever
I will savor every night
I hate the way you live without me
I hate the way you live without me
I hate the way you live without me
I hate the way you live without me
Live without me
Live without me
Live without me
Live without me

Complete Me
05:57
|
|||
Someday
You’ll find yourself alone
With everything you’ve known
In the world
Someday
You’ll find yourself afraid
Of everyone you’ve laid
In the world
You can’t complete me
You can’t complete me
Someday
You’ll find yourself adored
And you won’t be so alone
anymore
Someday
You’ll find yourself in love
And that will be enough
You can’t complete me
You can’t complete me
You can’t complete me
You can’t complete me
I’m tired and I’m torn
I’ve been warned about you
I’ve cried and I’ve mourned
I’ve been warned
Sometime
There’s a place and there’s a day
For the things you always meant to say
Somewhere
There’s a girl who wants to know
What she did to make you go away
You can’t complete me
You can’t complete me
I’m tired and I’m torn
I’ve been warned about you
I’ve cried and I’ve mourned
I was warned
I was warned
What…what do you want me to do?
What do you want me to do?
Fine. Whatever, Jo.
You know, you need some mascara
Before I can take a polaroid
But I love you without mascara
