Almost There.
Just one more drive
I am a cramped car away from the girl on my mind.
It took a little time for me to know
but then a couple of months and it was time to go.
and now
Missing you's exactly what I (am)
and Laziness was just a code for not enough time
and when I see you again,
you know I'm gonna make you mine.
When you brush your teeth
and you go to bed
is there a little nagging loneliness dragging through your head?
Do you wanna see my face like I wanna see yours?
Almost there just one more drive
I am a cramped car away from the girl on my mind
Nearly there just one more trip
Avon, North Carolina
Listen to this:
Missing you's exactly what I (am)
and laziness was just code word for not enough time.
and when I see you again
I am gonna make you mine

Hopeless.
Although you probably know this.
Everything fades.
you should never be Lonely
you're so comely.
Make the most of your mane.
Let it show
Modesty is overrated.
It's Whatever to you, I know.
But don't take it for granted.
I could never take you for granted til I had you.
Phase me.
I need hazing.
you can give it to me.
Did someone say "Pristine?"
More like Mistreat.
You got what I need.
Let it show
Modesty is overrated.
It's whatever to you I know.
But don't take it for granted.
I could never take you for granted til I had you.
So yeah they're lining up on either side.
Trying to get at your just skin deep.
We all gotta be good at something.
Like maybe being a masterpiece.
Your ground is a beach to walk on.
You're the girls lying in the sun (ooh)
Vain pleasures?
Are we puritans?
Vain Pleasures are the best ones.

Late night.
Boring life until I turn on my TV.
All right.
A song that everyone likes and a perky celebrity.
I'd probably change the channel,
but there's nothing good on tonight.
and when you're looking into the camera
it's like you're looking into my eyes.
(that's what I'm talkin' 'bout)
Instant Crush.
I just have to wonder
If I talked to you
would you give me your number
In a crowded club
where the music is playing
Way too loud for us to hear what we're saying.
It's just my little vision.
I saw on Television.
Second verse.
I can hardly stand it.
My attention is at your command.
I'd like to think
I have more sense than most
but I wanna be that show host.
I'd probably change the channel
if someone offered me a million bucks.
Don't wanna be part of a scandal.
But if you were here now we'd...
...hit the chorus one more time.
And when you started singing
Well, it got me thinking:
I
would
so
get
with
that.
{breakdown}
Instant Crush.
I just have to wonder
If I talked to you
would you give me your number
In a crowded club
where the music is playing
Way too loud for us to hear what we're saying.
but when I started crushing
commercial interruption.

Something More

I guess it'll take something more
to keep me satisfied.
You said you couldn't just give me happiness,
but would you accept a bribe?
It's a dangerous proximity.
It's all that I've acquired.
Just cuz there's smoke doesn't mean there's fire.
Alright.
I'm always wanting something more.
but I'm always so soft-willed.
I'm also always so unsure.
Like I'm waiting for something from film.
It's a distance I can't conquer.
Looks like it takes some skill.
And I'm so unfulfilled.
Alright.
Always slow and passive.
Always somewhat forced.
Always left defeated.
Always coming short.
Even at my best, I guess it
takes Something More
When you want something more.
What does tomorrow have in store?
Maybe something more.

Days make the best nights.
Death comes before life.
Everybody's on it.
Everybody want it.
Everybody flaunts it.
The Whole World's Haunted.
If I had a rocket I would saddle up and go for a spin.
Good lies sound true.
And I'd make a great you.
The past is closer than it seems.
The good old days were last week.
Brace yourself for the meek.
They won't even let you speak.
If I had a rocket I would make sure there was room for two.
You're never gonna understand it.
You're green skin cold hands don't know the dance.
I'm not the beauty or the beast.
And I could use a little peace.
Join the club for having fun.
Living on an onion.
Find a reason to run.
Everybody's got one.
If I had a rocket we could make this place a memory.
I'm never gonna understand it.
I'm green skin cold hands.
Don't know the dance.
Now that the mothership's gone I guess we're all home
better make the best of having nowhere to go.
If I had a rocket well we still probably wouldn't get very far.
