Wet Dream 04:34
Its time, I’ve been ready for a long while. And it goes something like, the more you know. I try spilling every ounce inside of my soul. Just to float sound and safely, it’s my wet dream. You’ve been up to no good, so I think that you should find out what it’s like to be without me. You’ve been up to no good and do you think that you should really live inside a dream within a dream? We’re in a dream. Andy it’s just a dream.
2.
Perfect Song 03:58
You go ahead and lead me on like a perfect song. Without caring about whether you are or not, in the wrong. We fall down an endless hole, discover it’s what we are. Down there we’ll bury all those lies and hope they disintegrate over time. You can choose one not both. I’m waking to your saturated words. One dream I have had the most, imagining it’s any other girl. Because leaving her is easier in that world.
3.
Cats 02:57
I’ve been asked to write you. I wouldn’t usually do it, well fuck it. You say I sigh all the time, well I’m sure you do too. Just like my dogs do, but you like cats though don’t you? And I’d like you to like me, more than you’d like to. My dream of life, I’d ride bikes with you and take hikes with you. While we are free and off the leash, could you make me some food please? And it better be good. I’d like you to like me, more than you’d like to.
4.
Going My Way 03:09
I must confess, all these feelings I have for you have not exactly had proper address, well maybe that’s best. I can’t believe all the pain I would go through to say, it’s not exactly going my way. Where in the wind did it blow? So how can you tell me that we are not likely so don’t fight it. Now haven’t you noticed that I am not like those bogus type who take you down? They take you down
5.
Your Bed 03:43
All these seeds are bound to break ground. So lets try to avoid major meltdowns. Easy come easy go. And I’ll have you know I don’t feel the way that I did when we were kids. I can’t remember why’d I ever leave all my love inside of your bed. I know I didn’t want you the first time, and you don’t want me at my worst times. You only want me at my best times, for the rest of life. I know I can be mean sometimes but I don’t know why because I don’t mean it. And yeah I am weak all the time, not a day goes by where I feel just fine. When was the last time? I can’t remember why’d I ever leave all my love inside of your bed.
6.
Gladiator 03:44
I wish I had the time to stay. I’ve got places to go and many things to say. To the gladiators of Rome and the astronauts in space. To the king on the throne and the beggar in my face. We are the same you know, you and I. Because we’re going for the gold but not for the gold. Every day is the same, it’s do or die. And what better way to go than the glory of the fight, than the courage of the climb. To the gladiators of Rome and the astronauts in space. To the king on the throne and the beggar in my face. I too am a gladiator of Rome and an astronaut in space. I was a king on a throne but a beggar in my ways.
7.
Skeleton 03:12
Rockstars don’t die. You’re just not one of them, and thats alright. Say what you’d like but I’ll see a skeleton when I look in your eyes. I know it’s been a while and I get that for you simple is fine but I’ve got bigger fish to fry. I’ve felt it since I was five and I’ve been ready since we have arrived but are the big leagues for me? And no I don’t have a god, so why do I think it’s true that we are part old part new? Part two. Rockstars don’t die. They live forever man, both here and on the other side. Rockstars don’t die. You’re just not one of them because you’re a skeleton. And that’s alrig
8.
Waterfalls 05:19
Waterfalls coast overhead and I can see the sun setting in the trees. Well it amazes me what we were and what we come to be, so uncomfortably, are all in the same frame. Are you sure that you’re done with holding my hand? I wore down my shoes, I’m a fool, chasing after you. Tears that fall like rain on a sunny day. Well beware you’re going to catch a cold you’d better stay away. Though it doesn’t even matter what we’d fight about or the things I’ve done. We’re never in the same rate of change. Oh I try and I try and I try. Though I don’t even know if its worth it at all. I try and I try and I try. Still I don’t even know if its worth it at all. I’ll fly, I will fly I would fly but I don’t even know if I know how to fall.
9.
Fire 03:51
Theres a fire in the house and we’re burning all the wood that we cut from a tree that fell into the yard in the middle of the winter and we wanna be a little bit warmer than we were last year. If I go on too long would you meet me in the middle and I really wanna feel it and if you could ever even return my calls, it’d be a little bit better than the typical weather.
10.
So Long 06:44
If you care about me the way you say you do. If you honestly care the way you say you do. Then why would you let the rain puddle up my shoes? Yeah I swear you left them out there, to light my fuse, for so long. If you could live without me, I could live without you too. And Ill never have the guts to stick with what I do. I’ll tell you that I enjoy spending time with you, but do I do? Oh brother I must have came destroyed. And I can’t do anything right.
