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
5.
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 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
8.
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
9.
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
10.
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
