To Tell You the Truth

I didn’t need another drink
but you were getting me one
I kissed you right there underneath
clouds of hookah
We were covered in fake blood
And you tasted like fruit punch
Surrounded by kitten and devils
We were suddenly rebels
To tell you the truth
I don’t know how I feel about you
About you
I’ve never been so confused
Everywhere we go I wonder
if everybody thinks we’re love sick
Young, dumb, and full of heartache
Clinging to each other
Laughing like sister and brother
But we look like lovers
To tell you the truth
I don’t know how I feel about you
About you
I’ve never been so confused
How hard is it to figure this out
I want it
But I don’t know if I want it now
To tell you the truth
I’ve never been so confused
Let me paint you a picture
of the first night of December
we were holding our friend up
cause she was drunker than ever
And you were looking at the stars
and they were looking back at you
And our friend was seeing stars behind her eyes
so she and I sat down outside
and played one truth and zero lies
She said, “You guys are cute”
You were drumming on your steering wheel
And I was crisscross applesauce
singing “Dream On”
On a sidewalk in Simi Valley
playing air instruments with you
Every night is weird and wonderful with you
To tell you the truth
I still don’t know how I feel about you
How hard is it to figure this out
I want it
But I don’t know if I want it now
To tell you the truth
I’ve never been so confused

You keep on making trouble
by spreading all these rumors
Stop telling everybody everything you’re doin’
You’re acting kinda stupid
And I bet everybody always asks about me
And I bet you answer them like you think you know me still
I bet you think I care what you say
But you can say anything
Go tell everyone
how I betrayed you once
and that’s why we aren’t talking
We aren’t talking
We aren’t talking
Why don’t you tell them the truth?
I ain’t talking to you
To you
Why don’t you tell them the truth?
I ain’t talking to you
I wish that I knew why
I feel sad for you
I feel sad that you
lost all your friends to lies
You lost me all the time
Now you tell everyone
how I betrayed your trust
And that’s why we aren’t talking
We aren’t talking
We aren’t talking
Why don’t you tell them the truth?
I quit talking to you
To you
Why don’t you tell them the truth?
I quit talking to you
I ain’t talking to you and your new girlfriend
The one you drive around in my replacement
You’re always saying that money isn’t everything
Then you drop me cause I haven’t made it
Everyone’s betrayed you once
Everyone’s betrayed your trust
Everyone’s hope to be
the change that we all think you need
We aren’t talking to you
To you
To you
To you
We aren’t talking
We aren’t’ talking
We aren’t talking
Why can’t you just see the truth?
Oh, oh
We aren’t talking to you
We aren’t talking to you

Devilish

In a bar they see my stormy hair
The way it rages everywhere
From afar they don’t know
It’s just as dark beneath it all
Go ask my lovers what I’m like and they’ll tell you I’m only nice at midnight
They won’t mention
I crack open
Just so they can
Peer inside
No, they’ll tell you I’m devilish
I can’t take a compliment
I’m mean for the hell of it
For the hell of it
I’ll tell you one thing they don’t know
Struggling with love isn’t criminal
We’re all different when we fall
They’re only pissed cause I let them go
It’s tough baby I’m aware
Run now or you’ll be running scared
And I’ll tell you all my flaws
So you know when I have claws
They aren’t because of something you did
Or something you said or the touch of your hand
But don’t use them against me
I don’t lay my mind at your feet
So you can pick the ugly parts and throw them back at me
One thing you should know
Struggling with love isn’t criminal
We’re all different when we fall
Don’t be pissed if I let you go
It’s tough baby I’m aware
Run now or you’ll be running scared
But don’t demonize me
The way my mind’s gonna demonize you
Don’t you see what I’m sayin’ I’m scared of being held on to
But if you’re still curious and you don’t wanna believe them
Go ahead come close I’ll let you in
I’ll hold your hand when I feel like it
I’ll drop the ball a few thousand times
But I’ll pick them all up and I’ll claim them as mine
It’s tough baby I’m aware
Run now or you’ll be running scared
I’ll tell you one thing they don’t know
Struggling with love isn’t criminal
We’re all different when we fall
They’re only pissed cause I let them go
It’s tough baby I’m aware
Run now or you’ll be running scared

Forever Like This
04:45

I wanna be forever like this
A big love, a big tree in the backyard
I wanna be forever like this
A small life admired in a passing car
I want forever
I want it all but I don’t know when
we’ll ever get around to it
We’ve got some things we wanna do and I’ll bet you
A million
that we’ll do them
I’m scared of the future
So, until then
Let me sip on you like a soda
And undress you like I wanna
Come drain me like a bottle
Come hold me ‘til tomorrow
And I’ll drench us in my daydreams
And we’ll drive each other crazy
Love’ll do that to us baby
But loving you is so easy
I wonder why you kept me waiting
I’d have waited my whole life
To see what you’re like with your shirt off
To see what you’re like when my clothes drop
I’d have waited my whole life
Oh god oh I
I don’t wanna reach no more
Oh god oh I
I don’t wanna dream no more
I don’t wanna chase wildly
After some, “Good luck baby, your odds are 50/50.”
It hurts so bad
But with you it’s not like that
I want it all but I don’t know when
I want it all
Love did it to me baby
But loving you is so easy
I wonder why you kept me waiting
I’d have waited my whole life
To see what you’re like with your shirt off
To see what you’re like when my clothes drop
I’d have waited my whole life
Let me sip on you like a soda
And undress you like I wanna
Come drain me like a bottle
Come hold me til tomorrow
And I’ll drench us in my daydreams
And we’ll drive each other crazy
Love’ll do that to us baby
Love’ll do that to us baby
And I hope that it does
I hope that I go crazy over wanting you so much
Love will do that to us baby
But it’s better losing touch
and going fucking crazy
cause you’re so in love
I met you in coffee shop
And that was all it took
Love did it to me baby
Love did it to me
I’ve been going crazy ever since that first meeting
Love will do it to us baby
Love did it to me

No comparison
They don’t know what they’ve all done to us
But there’s no comparison
Our hearts broke cause they all want too much
And they got away with it
Or they thought so
‘Til they got home
and saw their dirty laundry on their floors
We’re sick of it
These relationships
are starting to feel like chores
Our roots are overgrown
We finally let them go
and now we drink for kicks
Red wine in coffee cups
Laughing on countertops
And we can smile like kids
But we ain’t kids no more
Or maybe we never were
Maybe we were burdened on treetops
Youthful fires extinguished
Little girls watching fairies
granting wishes to the vicious
Everybody wants to go home
Everybody wants to go home
Not us though
Our roots are overgrown
We finally let them go
and now we drink for kicks
Red wine in coffee cups
Laughing on countertops
And we can smile like kids
I remember when I used to call you bleeding
And I remember you saying, “Dude, don’t leave me.”
I’ve got your back
You’re my best friend
and you deserve better than this
(Hey, hey)
Our roots are overgrown
We finally let them go
and now we drink for kicks
Red wine in coffee cups
Laughing on countertops
And we can smile like kids
Our roots are overgrown
We finally let them go
and now we drink for kicks
Red wine in coffee cups
Laughing on countertops
And we can smile like kids

Ooo, ooo daddy
Yoohoo
Doesn’t this remind you of way back when?
I found a guitar again
Ooo, ooo daddy
Youhoo
I bet I scare you more than you’d like to admit
What’s she gonna say this time around?
Maybe something just like this:
You made a mess of everything
that you once had
I bet you thought I’d never sing
about you again
You made a mess for all my lovers
to pick up and mend
You broke my heart a million ways
And now I’m madder than I ever been
Ooo, ooo daddy
Yoohoo
I’m running outta words to say
I’m running outta ways to hate you
The universe expands so the scientists been saying
And I keep on thinking
there’s bigger things than me and you
But nothing’s quite as big as the truth:
You made a mess of everything
that you once had
I bet you thought I’d never sing
about you again
You made a mess for all my lovers
to pick up and mend
You broke my heart a million ways
And now I’m madder than I ever been
Oh daddy
These are my last words for you
I’m bigger than you’ve ever been
I’m bigger than you’ll ever be
I’m pretty just like you said I’d be when I turned twenty
I have more friends than I need
(Twenty)
I have this on-going theory:
You aren’t human
No, you don’t exist in reality
I’ve spent the time compiling notes
pouring over everything
that I’ve ever observed of you in the field
You aren’t human
Oh daddy
You aren’t human
(I’ve spent the time compiling notes
pouring over everything)
Oh daddy
(that I’ve ever observed of you in the field)
You aren’t human
Oh daddy
You aren’t human
Oh daddy
You aren’t human

Sad Girl Music

Confused sad boys with the prettiest eyes
They got them innocent gazes and break your damn hearts
Confused sad boys who can’t make up their minds
So they listen to somebody, anybody with a voice
Girls
We ain’t conflicted
We know what we want and we see what we need
We’re the blue skies baby and you’re begging for a drink
From our wide open hearts
We don’t plague with confusion
We just cry to our sad girl music
About lock jaw boys with their dead end best friends
Strong anxious girls
You have to learn how to defend them
From this big bad world
Cause we go through hell
Just to be your heaven
From our wide open hearts
We don’t plague with confusion
We just cry to our sad girl music
About lock jaw boys with their dead end best friends
So it all happened for a reason
So you’re gone and I’m just supposed to pretend like a get it
Even if I don’t
But I just can’t let you go
Oh
You were my home
And now I’m a broken
Wide open heart I don’t plague with confusion
I just write all this Sad Girl Music
About cowardly boys who don’t pick you in the end
We’re bright-eyed souls
We get plagued by delusion
And we sing all this sad girl music
About cowardly boys
And lockjaw boys
Who don’t pick you in the end
And it was so good, so good
Me and you, until I sank what you knew
And it was much better
Saying forever to the truth
Than pretending I had it with you
The only thing that was forever is this scar on my face
And you’ve got your tattoo
And eventually you’ll find the truth
