Him 04:28
If he doesn’t want every ounce of you He’s a fool, baby, a fool If you wait up, and he doesn’t show Let him go, baby, let go He’s a man, nothing more He’s a man, there will be more You deserve more love songs Than all of the boys You deserve more praise for Your wisdom and poise You deserve more than I could ever give But you deserve more than him If he drags you lower than he brings you high Say goodbye, baby, buh-bye If you can’t sleep, can’t eat, can’t breathe Let him be, baby, let him be You are you, and that’s enough You can always give him up You deserve more love songs Than all of the boys You deserve more praise for Your wisdom and poise You deserve more than I could ever give But you deserve more than him Who ever said you had to be happy? We all did, didn’t we? And all of us, hopelessly, Hoped you’d find the key But it isn’t him, it isn’t him Now we see It isn’t him, it isn’t him Now we see You deserve more love songs Than all of the boys You deserve more praise for Your wisdom and poise You deserve more than I could ever give You deserve more than him

Hey Thick Skin, how have you been? You look a little strange Has someone popped you with a pin, Deflated your defences again? Hey Thick Skin, how has it been To be so aloof and aware? You’re not perfect, but you’re worth it Can’t you see we care? It looks like something’s happened here But we won’t ever say It’s your secret and we’ll keep it Clean up anyway We’ll cover it in tacky glue Stick it in a box Wrap it up in duct tape And a big padlock Throw it in a safe To the bottom of a lake And forget you ever made that Little mistake “Hey there, kid, I saw what you did, And you should be ashamed!” Says the man. He don’t understand The way the times have changed These days when you fall on your own face It’s not the end You’ll pull through, I promise you You’ve got a friend We’ll cover it in tacky glue Stick it in a box Wrap it up in duct tape And a big padlock Throw it in a safe To the bottom of a lake And forget you ever made that Little mistake Now I have heard the prisons In this country aren’t that great They’ll tear you and they’ll scare you ‘Til your soul just suffocates But I think I like you I think I like you I like you way too much To leave you to that fate We’ll cover it in tacky glue Stick it in a box Wrap it up in duct tape And a big padlock Throw it in a safe To the bottom of a lake And forget you ever made that And forget you ever made that We’ll cover it in tacky glue Stick it in a box Wrap it up in duct tape And a big padlock Throw it in a safe To the bottom of a lake And forget I ever made that Little mistake

Oh, she lays there shaking on the ground It's been awhile since anybody's found her Oh, she lays there waiting for the sound And when it comes, oh, how it astounds her Because your name held between the lips of Someone who loves you is a lullaby Oh, how the letters slip when they say goodbye He plays her like his favorite mandolin Singing, “Please, my dear, just let me in” Something in her soothes his aching soul Singing, “Please, my dear, don’t let me go,” Because your name held between the lips of Someone who loves you is a lullaby Oh, how the letters slip when they say goodbye But you took 22 letters with you when you left Now the alphabet Has changed your name into a four letter word But you still say mine Like I’m your world Because your name held between the lips of Someone who loves you is as sure as the skies And, oh, how the letters slip when they say Darling, this is it Oh, how the letters slip when they say goodbye

If I could count the times I’ve quoted you And worked your words out of my pen Then I would have a novel I could give to you And weep while my wounds leak again If I could show you all the times I’ve thought of you And burn them on a DVD Then we would have a novel and a movie too To count the times I quote and think of thee If we could see where life was leading us Maybe I would hit the breaks Take a turn to you and we could just Drive along the interstate

The moon doesn’t shine for me The moon doesn’t shine for me It’s for poets and lovers But I have discovered The moon doesn’t shine for me The sun is a sin on my skin The sun is a sin on my skin It blisters and burns But I never learn The sun is a sin on my skin Violent riots And peace protests Are breaking in and Outside my chest But I can’t seem to think Of anyone else Than my own pitiful self The moon doesn’t shine for you The moon doesn’t shine for you You are tiny and small You are nothing at all The moon doesn’t shine for you This is that way that it goes This is that way that it goes You try to change But it all stays the same This is that way that it goes Violent riots And peace protests Are breaking in and Outside your chest But you don’t seem to think Of anyone else Than your own pitiful self The moon doesn’t shine for us The moon doesn’t shine for us At the end of the day It all will remain And we’ll be dust to dust

Cut & Run 02:18
Look So here’s the deal I’m sorry if I made you feel Something that you wish you didn’t have to You look a little desperate, dear Careful in the way you want me I won’t be your commodity I never listen to myself What makes you think I’d listen to you? Believe me, I wouldn’t mind if You’d cut and run a thousand times You’d cut and run a thousand times Look So here’s the deal Movies, they aren’t really real They’re just one person’s weird idea of perfect So I wouldn’t stand there in the road Outside my window Reality might come and blow you over I never listen to myself What makes you think I’d listen to you? Believe me, I wouldn’t mind if You’d cut and run a thousand times You’d cut and run a thousand times I realize I’m not always so eloquent But simple terms are easiest for you I’d rather get the job done once and do it right Than leave you howling every night at the moon I never listen to myself What makes you think I’d listen to you? Believe me, I wouldn’t mind if You’d cut and run a thousand times You’d cut and run a thousand times You’d cut and run a thousand times

Tangled legs under ivory linens Tangled tongues under pearly whites I don’t know which body to live in To leave or To stay a shadow under your light Shining eyes under watery lashes Sunny skies above the rain Stay with me while all of it crashes Stay with me through the pain (Why) Tangled tongues lead to sticky gums And the light doesn’t always quite come through So I’ll spell out what I have been meaning to say to you Did you know the moment I met you There were no sparks or flames Took a while to finally get you Took a while to feel the same Tangled legs under ivory linens Tangled tongues under pearly whites I don’t know which body to live in To leave or To stay a shadow under your light But tangled tongues lead to sticky gums And the light doesn’t always quite come through So I’ll spell out what I have been meaning to say to you Tangled legs under ivory linens Tangled tongues under pearly whites I don’t know which body to live in To leave or To stay a shadow under your light (Why) (Why can't I?)

Thanks 02:13
We used to talk all night long About our favorite songs We used to talk all day Turning the world away But I’m tired, I’m all ashes All my fuel’s used up It was fun while it lasted I cannot thank you enough I never thought you could have been Anything but oxygen You held my lungs so tight I saw stars in daylight But I’m tired, I’m all ashes All my fuel’s used up It was fun while it lasted I cannot thank you enough

Art 00:29
My body Is a masterpiece A breathtaking, beautiful disaster And loving me Is an art form I simply have not yet mastered
