EVERY TIME
Oh baby, you don’t seem to get it
I won’t be coming round just to see if you will
And every little time that you show up in rags
I put an extra lock on my windowsill
Oh mama, can’t you hear your own voice?
You keep saying that you’ve changed but then you’re holding a gun
Once in every while you take a little more care
To make sure that I won’t ever end up with her
I CAN’T HELP YOU
You broke my heart again
Seems like you can’t help but do that
I woke beside you in bed
Just to find you had turned back
I can’t help you, baby
If you don’t know how to love someone
I can’t help you, baby
If you don’t know what you want
So you can call me again
But it still hasn’t dawned on you
That when you throw me away
There’s nothing that I have to do
I can’t help you, baby
If you don’t know how to love someone
I can’t help you, baby
If you don’t know what you want
BORED
I tried to be on board
And act like I saw just what it was
What is about love that can’t be reasoned away?
All of those things they might become if you got out of the way
And I saw just what it was
Try to see me once more
You act like you’ve finally had enough
It’s time to cough it up
You’re bored
Fell short if the goal was ‘to change’
Never met what couldn’t be explained
She put on her coat as she heads for the car
The frost upon the glass just like a broken heart
And I saw just what it was
Try to see me once more
You act like you’ve finally had enough
It’s time to cough it up
You’re bored
INSIDE THIS HOUSE
I’m sorry I’m being too loud
I can turn it off
I’m sorry I tried to kiss your mouth
I can turn it off I wrote a new song today
Yeah, I can turn it off
Cleaned up and dinner’s on it’s way
I can turn it off
Inside this house…
Inside this house…
Inside this house…
Inside this house…
I might go out this week
But I can keep it down
Even though you and I don’t speak
Yeah, I can keep it down
Leave the house so quietly
Yeah, we keep it down
You resent the sight of me
You don’t keep it down
Inside this house…
Inside this house…
Inside this house…
Inside this house…
TEACH ME
I cut my teeth on you
I didn’t need to get hurt
You know I wanted to
Show me what you hid
Beneath your bangs and your dress
Show me what you did
You wanna teach me
Show me the ropes
Feel the pressure getting tight
Wrapped around my throat
I let you bite my lip
You’re gonna eat me alive, girl
Bit by bit
You’re my favorite degree
So tear the dial off the wall
And cut your teeth on me
You wanna teach me
Show me the ropes
Feel the pressure getting tight
Wrapped around my throat
You wanna teach me
Show me something new
Yeah I said I haven’t tried before
Just never with you
You wanna teach me
CRUEL
I’ve been saying for days
Complicated isn’t worth that now
I know what I did
Was it wrong to wanna look so bad?
You’re coming round (You’re coming round)
You’re coming round (You’re coming round)
I wasn’t supposed to come and break your heart
You’re coming round (You’re coming round)
You’re coming round (You’re coming round)
This piece of shit will never work that hard
Blank stare
I can’t explain myself
I just did it to feel something
Cruel
Putting cardboard on windows
Sleep till noon and keep the sunlight out
I see my phone lighting up
I must have done something when I blacked out
You’re coming round (You’re coming round)
You’re coming round (You’re coming round)
I’m not the thing you should be looking for
You’re coming round (You’re coming round)
You’re coming round (You’re coming round)
But we both keep coming back for more
Blank stare
I can’t explain myself
I just did it to feel something
Cruel
WARNING SHOT
I’m not waking
My eyes won’t open up
You get frustrated
You say ‘that’s enough’
Don’t drag me out
Into paperwork
The lawyer can forge it
My signature by yours
I don’t want this
To continue or not
I don’t want this
It’s a warning shot
It’s all the same
Sleepless nights
Suicide and money
Wrapped in Christmas lights
And it’s got me angry
Made a villain of you
Consequence of vision
Now what are we to do?
I don’t want this
To continue or not
I don’t want this
It’s a warning shot
IT’S NOT THE END OF AN ERA (IT’S JUST THE END)
Break
Play the B-Side
Let the single rot on the outside
We can dance around the novelty
Of false epiphany
On your time
Shake
Rip up the low vibes
Surfing out into low tides
We can get down in the sea foam
Or just stand around
Looking dumb
Sink
Back into your house
Let your own crowd bring you down
We can hate all that we wanna be
A false epiphany
That keeps the sun
It’s not the end of an era
It’s just the end
