Necking
02:52
|
|||
Ooh there’s that feeling I can’t describe
But it starts with your lips
At the top of my spine
Half-way between
My heart and my mind
It sends that feeling
On down all through this body of mine
And there is no place else I would rather be
Than at the base of your neck baby
Oh there’s that feeling I can’t describe
But it starts with your lips
At the top of my spine
Do you wanna neck with me?
Put your mouth on my neck baby.

Freezing
02:42
|
|||
It was cold everywhere I’d go
No heat to be found
So I climatized to survive
I grew cold without a sound
Freezing is a silent process
Losing heat from inside my chest
Time went on and I grew proud
Of never getting cold
‘I’m a bear, I’m a whale”
I began to brag so bold
But freezing is a silent process
Losing heat, from inside my chest
But now I find a strange sensation
Coming over me
Is it just the sunshine
Or is he giving me heat?
Melting makes a pop and a cracking
Warming up the sound of lips smacking

Heartburn
01:46
|
|||
I feel so strange
What is wrong with me?
It’s like I’m drowning in my own lungs, ya know?
I don’t know what’s happening - is this…
Is this heartburn? I think this is heartburn
I want it to end now, I want it to end now
There is Pepto Bismol left from when Milo was sick
I think - it’s under the sink
Is this heartburn? I think this is heartburn
I want it to end now, I want it to end now
I want it to end now, no Ben - end it now.

Crosswalk
02:01
|
|||
Can you - can you fucking stop?
I'm on a crosswalk
Can you stop texting while you drive?
It's a wonder you're alive
There's a child holding my hand
Eyes on the road!
Why don't you understand?
Can you - can you fucking stop?
I'm on a crosswalk

Silly Me
02:43
|
|||
When you’re wanting what you can’t have
The wanting becomes haunting
You can look but you can’t have it
Your obsession becomes habit
I love a someone who loves a someone
And there’s no space left for me
But still I obsess over the thought
Of a life where she is with me
I get caught in what’s not
In the realm of possibility
Silly me
I came upon my dream guitar
I thought it belonged to my lover
And as I fell in love with it
I learned it belonged to his brother
I get caught in what’s not
In the realm of possibility
Chin up baby - don’t me blue
Chin up baby - they don’t belong to you
I get caught in what’s not
In the realm of possibility
Silly me

Don't Kill It
02:00
|
|||
Don’t kill it before it begins
Why not just give it a chance?
Some sort of fighting glance at a future - some form of hope
What about the roaring sea?
What about unplanted seeds?
What about all that time for me?
Solitude, solidarity?
What about quiet rooms?
What about unwoven looms?
Rolling stones and empty tombs?
Forgo the baby boom?
Open up the window - let it all outside
Throw it to the curb girl, throw it to the sky
It’s going
Look Jo, it’s gone!
Don’t kill it before it begins
Why not just give it a chance
Some sort of fighting glance at a future - some form of hope

Aspartame
02:04
|
|||
Gimme that - gimme that aspartame, sugar
I want your zero cola
Don’t want your real sugar
I want your zero cola
I want it fake
I’ll take what you make
But make no mistake
I want it fake
I want aspartame
I want it so sweet
But I want it bad for me
But I want it so badly
I want it fake
I’ll take what you make
But make no mistake
I want it fake
That’s right
It’s what I want
I want aspartame
Don’t want you to ask my name
Just pass the aspartame

The Cues
02:35
|
|||
I am certain I’ve been bitten
But by what I cannot tell
All I know is that my heart and stomach
Have begun to swell
Please friend would you pardon me
I find I’m feeling swoony
I made a pray at the river
To please make me ready
To receive what I really need
I did not expect that this would happen
How could this be?
What I needed in my life
O, Creator guide me
I trust your vision but ambition
Keeps me from accepting this
I was gunning
For some form of a spiritual bliss
But not like this
How did I miss the cues?
The cues
The cues
How did I miss the cues?
The last thing I want
Is to come across ungrateful
But if I may please put this genie
Back inside the bottle
If this hand I have been dealt
Is bound to be a winner
I’ll try to play it best I can
But I was born a sinner
Before the eyes of God
I swear I have forgot
The cues
The cues
I forgot the cues

Plates
03:04
|
|||
I’m always running the shows
That’s just the way it always goes
Desk over flowing - notebook on fire
Books on the table couldn’t pile higher
But now I am running behind
Started to drive me out of my mind
I open the car door and hop in the back
Driver take over - I’ll take a nap
I’ve got a new way of spinning plates
I’m feeling okay with my mistakes
Mama she told me to try bubble bath
I prefer my bubbles in a tall glass
Pour me another cause it’s Sunday
At the rate I’m going I’ll never get to play
I’ve got a new way of spinning plates
I’m feeling okay with my mistakes
I’m not afraid of what it takes
I’ve got a new way of spinning plates
I will share the project quota
I won’t take over what’s on your shoulder
I will share the project quota

Sleeping
02:32
|
|||
I can’t stop sleeping
I can’t stop sleeping in
I should really get up
Try to fill my coffee cup
But I make something up
And roll over
And it’s not about dreaming
It’s about leaving
Temporary departure
An escape
I haven’t been to the eye doctor in years
It’s been even longer since I’ve seen a dentist
At least I filed my taxes for the first time in ages
But I haven’t called my sister
I haven’t written that letter to Shannon, or Graham, or Jo
I’m not a very busy person
I’m a very very lazy and selfish person - who needs two hours to herself for every one hour she spends with someone else
Maybe I should just make more money
Is it time I finally learn how to drive a car?
Is it time I leave the country?
I don’t even own a passport
Is it really about my carbon footprint or am I afraid?
Of a crashing, flaming airplane?
I can’t stop sleeping
I can’t stop sleeping in
