Carried Away #4
03:09

|
She said it’s all you’re good for lately
Finding new ways to drive me crazy
So maybe I got carried away
Was I out of my head?
Was it something I said?
She’s gone
And there I go again
Getting over myself
A little too late
I’ve been trying to turn a new page
You don’t even want to know what gets me off these days
I’ve been good
I’ve been clean
I’ve been watching my mouth
Done a few things I won’t be living down
Any time soon
She said it’s all you’re good for lately
Finding new ways to say the same damn thing
I got carried away
Was I out of my head
Was it something I said?
She’s gone
And there I go again
Getting over myself
A little too late
My heart is always a beat behind
I’ll get back on my feet
I just need a little time
To get carried away

Night Like This
03:03

I don’t really care to know
Who you’re calling daddy now
Who’s got his hands around your throat
Got his hand over your mouth
I’m trying not to make a scene
But you drop his name so carelessly
If it’s true then let me be the last to know
Cause it would really set me off
On a night like this
And I don’t really care to know
How you’re getting even
Oh I’m sure it’s quite the show
Not as sick as my imagination though
And I remind myself to breath
You never thought too much of subtlety
And if it’s true then let me be the last to know
Cause it would really set me off
On a night like this
I start to lose all reason
On a night like this
I need a stiffer drink
And you need Jesus
On a night light this
As he falls for you
In that dress I like
Takes it off of you
And if it’s true then let me be the last to know
Cause it would really set me off
On a night light like this
You would really set me off
On a night like this
And you don’t want to set me off
On a night like this

I should apologize, huh?
To be clear I have no idea what I’m doing
Never realized
Got so good at hurting you
Could’ve really tried
Instead of running from the ruins
But now you’ll
be the one
The one they’re all compared to
And I’ll be the one
be the one that you don’t talk about
I should apologize
For every time I made a plan
Without a plan to put you in it
Said it’d be alright
When I knew that wasn’t true
All the little fights
long forgotten and forgiven
But now you’ll be the one
The one they’re all compared to
And I’ll be the one
be the one that you don’t talk about
You were the one
I should have been more careful
But now I’ll be the one
You don’t talk about

Waiting
03:45
|
|||
|
I wanna take you home
But I don’t want your friends to think I’m slutty
I’ve been trying to crack the code
That lets you know that maybe I’m somebody
When I’m really just a man
Who can barely play it cool for 30 minutes
Have I told you about my band?
Nevermind that I’m the only person in it
And I’ve got nothing left to lose
But I could use
A few new lines worth singing
And I’ve been looking for a sign
But every moment passes by
And I’m still waiting
Stuttering stalling hesitating
Breaking me down like I can’t take it
All this waiting
So now we’re at my place
A little cleaner than I usually keep it
Appreciate my taste
The finer things are mostly from IKEA
I need a map to find my hands around your waist
I think it’s in this bottle
I need a map to find my lips into your kiss
But I’m still waiting
Stuttering stalling hesitating
Breaking me down like I can’t take it
All this waiting
Before the buzz wears off
Before the sun finds us
Without much to say
Before you realize
I’m not who you thought I was
And we fade away
Now the lights are turned down low
The stereo
Is playing soft
And slow
And it goes...
But I’m still waiting
Stuttering
Hesitating
Breaking me down like I can’t take it
All this waiting
And waiting
Making me just a little patient
Left my own imagination
Our hearts are racing
The walls are shaking
But I’m still waiting
Always waiting for you

New Type
03:17
|

I’ve got a bit of a new type lately
You’re with me
Wonder what that says about you
Shouldn’t read too much into this sort of thing
Cause there may be
Something here worth holding on to
I could be more than just another skeleton
Don’t make me overstate my case
Cause I'm not used to this
I think you’re trouble
I think you might just save me
What did we get ourselves into?
I’ve got a bit of a new type lately
And I’m sure it’s unrelated
But I will say
That I haven’t felt this good in ages
So do you think it’d be ok
To let me overstay my welcome?
I could get used to this
I think you’re trouble
I think you might just save me
What did we get ourselves into?
I’ve got a bit of a new type lately
I forgot all the rules
I forgot the routine
I’m just stumbling through
Honored to be the new favorite distraction
So silence the strings
And the silent alarms
Whatever we are
I’m honored to be the new favorite distraction

Passing By

Maybe I
I am really not a bad guy
You just met me at a bad time
Maybe we
We are failure by design
As you can see
I am punch drunk still from last year
I know I shouldn’t be so cavalier
But I know a good thing when I see her
Maybe I’m just passing by
maybe you’re the love of my life
maybe I’d say anything not to sleep alone tonight
Or maybe this time I’ll try
And maybe I
I’m just making up for lost time
How’d you like to be my first ex-wife?
We’ll buy a place
In the pretty countryside
And it’s ok
If love is just a trick our bodies play
To further propagate our DNA
Then who are we
To get in nature's way?
Maybe I’m just passing by
Maybe you’re the love of my life
Maybe I’d say anything not to sleep alone tonight
Or maybe this time I’ll try

In Your Arms

If I’m being honest
I’ve never been the type to cut my losses
And if I’m being honest
All my plans are falling through
But I’m still waiting for my ship to come around
Ah, can’t you hear it, baby?
Any minute now
If all my nights are long
I don’t mind
As long as I’m
Waking up
In your arms
Have I become cliche?
I’m sure it’s just a phase
Say you’d love me still
If I never come of age
Cause we’ve got something I don’t know too much about
Yea you’ve got something
makes me wanna stick around
If all my nights are long
I don’t mind
As long as I’m
Waking up
In your arms
No matter where we go
I don’t care as long as I’m
Waking up
In your arms

Had a good run
On a good drug
Got my heart broke
And my head shrunk
All my secrets
Yours for three cents
Sing you something
Better left unsaid
But I digress
You are flawless
I am awestruck
Hands in my pockets
And I’m aw shucks
This is for you
Do you like it?
I have nothing
Else to give
God knows I don’t know what else to do
Cause it’s not like me to love
Someone like you
Had a rerun
With a bad crush
It was hush-hush
Put myself back together
All for the better
Though she kept a piece
And some other souvenirs
But I digress
You are flawless
I am awestruck
Hands in my pockets
And I’m aw-shucks
This is for you
Do you like it?
I have nothing else to give
And god knows I don’t know
What else to do
Cause it’s not like me to love someone like you
And in case it doesn’t show
I’m making this up as I go
Cause it’s not like me to love someone like you
You are the sweetest melody
And I’m almost always off key
We don’t have to be a masterpiece
To echo endlessly
But it’s not like me
To love someone
Not like me to love someone
Not like me to love someone like you

Pure Entertainment

Rewind the tape
One last time for old times' sake
For all my friends who can’t relate to me anymore
Turn it up
And let the music fill our ears
Until it’s louder than our fears
It’s what we came for
Mugshot for the news feed
You can say that you knew me
Back when I was losing it
And you liked me more
Lately
I can’t shake it
Something awesome
Gonna happen
So drag me
Kicking
Screaming
From my dreaming
Cause I’m not waking up
Once again
I try to reason with regret
I lay in someone else’s bed
I barely know
And my mistakes
Are laying restless in their graves
But we can dance to their refrain
Until tomorrow
Fell behind on paying my dues
Heard this city don’t take I.O.U.s
There’s no market here for 30-something-blues
But anyway
Lately
I can’t shake it
Something awesome
Gonna happen
So drag me
Kicking
Screaming
From my dreaming
Cause I’m not waking up
But if I ever strike a balance
If I ever find the answer
Somewhere between the panic
and delusions of grandeur
In a beautiful house
In a beautiful town
With a beautiful life
And not much else to talk about
I’ll be down in the basement
All the rest of my days spent
Singing to no one in particular
That pure entertainment
In a beautiful house
In a beautiful town
With a beautiful life
And not much else to talk about

Lost Time
05:38

Go on get my hopes up
Don’t I always push my luck?
These things don’t ever go my way
But I just want to say
You can call me just to call
I’ll be on a tightrope
Right about to fall
Don’t make me wait till the weekend
That’s such a waste of this evening
Let’s get ahead of ourselves
Tell me when I’ll see you again
And I’m just saying
You wake me like a sunrise
And I’ve been making
Making up for lost time
You should know some things
I’ve got a lot of nervous ticks
I’m getting more ridiculous with age
Ok and I’ll admit
All I’ve got are promises
I may always be wandering
But if you want you can be lost with me
It’s not too late for some indecency
We’re not too old to make out in the back seat of my car
Until the engine dies
And I’m just saying
You move me like a landslide
And I’ve been making
Making up for lost time
I hope I knew ya
In every other past life
Got me singing hallelujah
Singing and it sounds like…
I think I love you
Is it too soon to say it?
Cause I really do
What am I to you?
You can take a minute
I double down
On bad decisions
And I made my bed
But it’s not so bad
If you wake up in it
And here you are
Without a good excuse for staying over
You make it hard
To take it slow
Tell me when I’ll see you again
Shake up my life
Like a snow globe mamma
Tell me when I’ll see you again
