Take Me With You
03:00
|

Good morning in early morning
the sun comes and touches your skin
You’ve caught my, my attention
and so I move in your direction
So take me with you
Oh take me with you
We talk in, we talk in circles
No I’m not westbound today
You’ve got my, my attention
but I have nothing left to say
So take me with you
Oh take me with you
So take me with you
So take me with you
You’ve caught my, my attention
But that was not my intention

Tell Me A Story
02:51
|

Strangers stare and they want to be the first to
ask for my life in one word
But it’s not that simple
Why do you care to know
am I a boy or a girl?
But I don’t care about the answers
The questions were boring
Please tell me a story
(1, 2, 3, 4!)
“What did your mom say?”
“What is your real name?”
“How about those drugs that you take?”
“And does your voice change?”
“How come you don’t feel ashamed?”
“What kind of love do you make?”
But you don’t care about my answers
Your questions ignore me
Let me tell you a story
Well, alright
Ask me anything you want to
and I will tell you the truth
My mom is my best friend
and this is who I am
All of it adds up to keep me sane
Yes, I’ve dropped octaves
‘cause I am a mountain range
and any kind of love is good enough to be made
But I don’t care about the answers
The questions were boring
Please tell me a story

Where are you headed? Oh
Where are you going?
Is it everything you wanted? Oh
Are you being honest?
Hop late night trains into cities into wild night
life light fires
We’re on this quest, 20-something journey
but I’ve stopped taking in stride
I can taste the crisis on your lips
I’m losing myself in it
I can taste the crisis on your lips
and I’m loving this
2am no destination, no destination, no no no
Be my friend, until the very end
until the
Where are you headed? Oh
Where are you going?
Is it everything you wanted?
Are you being honest?
Step close the edge, there’s a word, there’s a
word, there’s a word for the urge
off platforms or cliffs -- to propel forward
But I hang onto youth
and I hang onto you
Can you taste the crisis on my lips?
Are you loving this?
2am no destination, no destination, no no no
Be my friend, until the very end
until the
2am no destination, no destination, no no no
Be my friend, until the very end
until the
Where are you headed?
Where are you going?
Is it everything you wanted?
A new beginning?
Where are you headed? Oh
Where are you going?
Is it everything you wanted? Oh
Are you being honest?
I can taste the crisis on your lips
I’m losing myself in it
Can you taste the crisis on my lips?
2am no destination, no destination, no no no
Be my friend, until the very end
until the
Where are you headed?
Where are you going?

Make It Right
04:14
|

No I’m not always happy
but thanks for not asking
And I know this will take some time
to make it right in my mind
We came together though a winter’s fire
then lost it all to summer’s sighs
We both knew we could make it right
but we let it die, we just let it die
Though I’d like to make it right
it’s just not the place or time
How do you know if it is the end?
“We can still be friends”
but can we be friends?
Space heals if you give it a chance
but I fell in too, haven’t seen you since
And though I’d like to make it right
it’s just not the place or time
So as we walked right to the light
I turned to you to say goodbye
You held my bones up alright
then you’d lay them down, side by side
I haven’t slept through a single night
seen every second of this time
Though I’d like to make it right
it’s just not the place or time
So as we walked right to the light
I turned to you to say goodbye
(So I just say goodbye)

Long Run (Pear Tree)
04:17
|
|||
Spend so much time thinking about the long run
We don’t open our eyes during all the shorter ones
No, babe, I can’t tie any knots right now
I see love and I want to believe it but
I’m still untangling all these pits I’ve grown deep
down in my stomach, well
I am a pear tree, apparently
I want nobody yet they still appear next to me
Be my best friend, you can be my war
Something worth destroying myself for
No, actually wait no -- I’ve seen this all before
Love’s an addiction
and I’m sicker than I’ve ever been
So admit me, you can commit me
Fact check every moment in between
No tomorrow, just today
No plans, no flights to the UK
LA or DC, the leaves change and they want me to
leave, but I stay still and I stand still
Start every talk with the same spiel
Spend so much time thinking about the long run
We don’t open our eyes during all the shorter ones
It’s been a good time, we’ve had a lot of fun
So let’s open our eyes during all the shorter runs
Not a full sprint, I had a splinter
Still holding hands when I first met her
Back to back and overlap well
being alone is something that I can’t
No wait I can! I moved to Boston with all my best
friends, I’ve got no plans, and though this city haunts
me with ex-girlfriends
They just remind me of who I woulda been
if I wasn’t who I am
on my own
Spend so much time thinking about the long run
We don’t open our eyes during all the shorter ones
It’s been a good time, we’ve had a lot of fun
So let’s open our eyes during all the shorter runs
Well, take it easy
You can take it slow
There’s no need to rush
We’ve got nowhere to go
And take it easy
You can take it slow
There’s no need to rush
We’ve got nowhere to go, well
I just wanna grow, on my own
and find my way home
Spend so much time thinking about the long run
We don’t open our eyes during all the shorter ones
It’s been a good time, we’ve had a lot of fun
So let’s open our eyes during all the shorter runs
