you can’t be right forever
I wanna hold back both your hands
until you start believing
you can’t just say whatever
there’s someone knocking on the door again
they need to know that
you’re the new machine
I know who sent that letter
I know who’s waiting in the wings
you’ve got something to count on
she waits it out much better
and even if it’s all a lie
you know she’ll figure out that
you’re the new machine
you know how much this means to her
but you’re the new machine
leave her
don’t leave her
don’t leave her
don’t leave her so soon

Wonderful

I can see us laughing when we’re older
looking back on all the chances we let slip away
I can see you saying that you missed me
we kept it all inside
we never even tried
you’re wonderful
but i wonder about you
and I can’t let go
of every worry, every dream
I can see us meeting at a party
standing in the corner like we only see each other
but I can see us heading home with other people
keeping it alive
we never even tried
you’re wonderful
but i wonder about you
and I can’t let go
of every worry, every dream
you’re all i can see
and I can’t let go

Sunburn Sad
03:32
|

love isn’t just a heart attack
it hits but it lingers
you say you’ll never take it back
you’re crossing your fingers
I know that it’s a waste of time
I need to move on
if everyone else is fine
why do I hear you breathing
why do I see your signs
gimme gimme sunburn sad
I’m over overcast
four years of putting out that fire
and hiding the ashes
someday I’ll stay asleep all night
and wake up in traffic
I know that it’s a waste of time
I need to move on
if everyone else is fine
why do I hear you breathing
why do I see your signs
good day for walking on graves
(I know you, I know you don’t mean it)
good day to take me away
(I know you, I know you don’t mean it)

Sideways
02:38
|

I’ll take my chances
I plan on acting out
until you step to me sideways
no second places
no time to shut my mouth
until you step to me sideways
bad days warm you up
overheated
my head is pounding
my teeth are wearing down
until you step to me sideways
your secret stashes
your timing falls behind
but I know why this time
bad days warm you up
overheated
you need time to get together
hide me underneath your coat
i see you and me forever
practice makes it perfect
but perfect could be better

Lighter

wait for you
cause I got nowhere else to go
pad the room
we’re calling it a sold out show
what do you want from me
you got the right positions
you never make mistakes
I got the can of gasoline
but you need a better jacket
you need to find a match
two thumbs up
you knew they’d learn to love that sound
not too soft
you pick it up
just to put it down
what do you want from me
you got the right positions
you never make mistakes
I get it wrong and blame us both
but you need to touch the ceiling
good news first
you’ll get a little lighter now
I weighed you down
you'll get a little lighter now
stop holding out
you'll get a little lighter
now I’ve got the
right idea it
took too long to see
everybody asks you how
you know it when you see it
till you throw it out
to get a little lighter now

The Night
03:40

you back away like I can't feel it
you say good night and nothing else
you toss and turn like I don't know
the way you want the night to go
the way you want the night to go
we keep the dresser overflowing
forget the plans to build a shelf
you cut your clothes like I don't know
the way you want your love to show
the way you want your love to show
I haven't checked if I'm still happy
all out of time and wired wrong
I keep a whistle and a comb here
can't look a mirror in the eye
you lean in close like you don't know
the way I want the night to go
the way I want the night to go
