Rows of life like watered plants They come and go, seasons flow But I've been seeing funny things How could I mistake a face For yours in the lake when it's mine? I've left myself behind Where do I go? What am I seeing again? What does she know? Where does she want to be? Platformed ice I walk upon This frozen pond will break Sunshine and too much weight It's bleak enough, I can hardly see You staring at me with such a face I can't stand, I look away Where do I go? I'm off again What does she know? Where does she want to be? Rows of life like watered plants They come and go, seasons flow But I've been seeing funny things Where do I go? I'm off again, yeah

It's real romantic how she came to up me like "I'd really like to get to know you better, no lie" She said, "I get off at a quarter till three" The she promised me her home To see the second part of the show Oh no Tipsy turvy yeah she tossed me around No pun intended she made me go down, down A while later she saw me again She said, "I feel bad" and I didn't know where to begin Cause I I don't care I don't care I don't care, I don't care She was another piece in the game And I don't care, I don't care I met her at the cinema, she was so shy She looked at me like I was the right guy But looked unsure and a little confused And I was annoyed by the way she talked and chewed Oh well yeah Tipsy turvy yeah she tossed me around No pun intended she made me go down, down A while later she saw me again She said, "I feel bad" and I didn't know where to begin Cause I yeah I don't care I don't care I don't care, I don't care She was another piece in the game And I don't care, I don't care

Cakes 03:20
We always had a thing In your room chipping paint She debuted in a magazine I spent my days around Taking the bus uptown Seeing a girl I found to be a talent She didn't know I could not find what I was looking for Never mind the bulk of it It’s in your hands again Stroking it and we know You’ll come up roses again So get over it, get over it It’s too late to pretend Promise me, I’ll promise you We will not tell our friends Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Looked in my nightstand drawer And saw a picture there I turned it around back And saw a blank stare Staring right back at me And all the unseen kings They had a laugh about me and all the things that I could not see and could not find what I was looking for Never mind the bulk of it It’s in your hands again Stroking it and we know You’ll come up roses again Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Japanese lights on my ceiling Always gives me this funny feeling My hair grows at the sound of light Let me know if you will come home tonight Japanese lights on my ceiling Feels like my thoughts are leaving Polka dots on the radio waves I’m just mending my broken ways Take me with you. I’m not scared, but I need you to make me happy I now we have gone so far, But it’s our time to sing our swan song Take me with you. I’m not scared but I need you to make me happy I know we have gone so far but, It’s our time to sing our swan song, yeah Miserable crowds keep me far behind Lifeless, loveless, clueless, open mind Japanese lights bring me thoughts of you I ride the warm wind from December to June Take me with you. I’m not scared, but I need you to make me happy I now we have gone so far, But it’s our time to sing our swan song Take me with you. I’m not scared but I need you to make me happy I know we have gone so far but, It’s our time to sing our swan song, yeah Japanese lights on my ceiling Always gives me this funny feeling Japanese lights on my ceiling Japanese lights on my ceiling, yeah

Postcards 03:02
Drenched in a trench coat when your pencil met the paper Did it alarm you? Dignity satisfies the bravest minds Not even in one thousand years' time Postcards place things right back home In my arms, here you are again Back to the shore where closed doors washed up Your beating heart was kept out of sight Behind the curtain hidden from those lies You cashed in what was stolen from your eyes Postcards place things right back home In my arms, here you are again Postcards place things right back home In my arms, here you are Postcards place things right back home In my arms, here you are again

College 03:28
Well I knew you then But I don’t know you know That was long ago and I don’t even know how We made that work There were writings on the wall There was a message for us all That came long before the fall That came before the fall The kind of love you find in film Oh, this is real The stars align if you hope and you feel Well my mama always said Your friends they come and go But, yes I know, I said, yes I know Unless they make your heart grow

As I finish my cigarette I can’t help but write your name in letrasets My thoughts sift though and through But I can’t think of the last words I said to you Your name rings in my ears The last sound a cut at my breath You melt away into the land As I reach my hand for you Azure eyes as deep as you can go The curls on your hair continue to grow Stood by the willow of yesterday Tell me a lie, tell me to stay As I finish my cigarette I can’t help but write your name in letrasets My thoughts sift though and through But I can’t think of the last words I said

One Day 04:40
Shotgun shoot the sunshine We don’t need it anymore The fall was timeless today It’s all in your mind you know O Looking through the fish eye lens But look at the mess I’m in Beautiful balloons soar the sky I can see them through the ceiling vents Well you know what you don’t And you know that it shows Fixated on what you see Looking for the silence Cause I can hear through these walls again Life is more than this my friend But we got this time to pretend O Well you know what you don’t And you know that it shows Fixated on what you see Well you know what you don’t And you know that it shows Fixated on what you see
