i've been walking in the midnight hour
full moon in capricorn got me like "oh my god"
and I keep checking my mood ring every 45 minutes
but I mistakenly threw out the piece of paper that comes with it
the one that explains all the colors and the things they represent
honestly I really can't tell how I'm feeling
but if i knew that it would be this complicated
i would have kept playing the record in my basement
baby just move to california where the weather's fine
i always fall in love wrong place, wrong time

perfect life
03:31
|
|

i know it's different
i know i'm not behind
i can't help but feel it
when i see you and your life
i see your perfect husband
i see your perfect home
i see your perfect baby
i don't want to die alone
doesn't everybody want somebody who knows
the way they take their coffee?
doesn't everybody want to know how it feels
to be truly known by somebody?
so give me your grief
give me your ghost
give me the little things
they say that's what we miss the most
give me your patience
give me your time
give me your faith
i promise i will give you mine
doesn't everybody want somebody who knows
the way they take their coffee?
doesn't everybody want to know how it feels
to be truly known by somebody?
let yourself believe in something
anything that gets you up in the morning
let yourself believe in something
anything that strikes you as this important
let yourself believe in something
anything that keeps you going
doesn't everybody want to be known?
doesn't everybody want to know and be known?

keep on dimming the light
it's all in my mind?
it's all in my mind
thinking i know
right from left
you make me second guess
right from left
you think that you know best

i had a dream last night
that you and i
were hugging tight
to a serrate ridge
opposing sides
of valley highs
once occupied
by alpine
wind and water
foundation
collapsing
under your
constant
freezing/thawing
foundation
collapsing
under your
constant
freezing/thawing

capitalism

|

you can have your money
it was never mine
i'll trade you back your pennies
for my precious time
you can always make more money
you can never make an hour
the wallet, an illusion
my watch it holds the power
so take it, take it, take it
i don't need it anymore
i'd rather be a beggar
than your pretty little whore

you have to turn the water blue
if you're meant to drink it
in the way that you obscure the truth
if you just can't bear to see it
like how the sky becomes azure
the ocean made a sapphire
the illusion soon becomes the cure
for our heartache and our quagmire
in time we turn it to excuse
for looking at the surface
what's beyond or underneath
we're too afraid will hurt us
you have to turn the water blue
if you're meant to drink it
in the way that you obscure the truth
if you just can't bear to see it

jets to beijing
02:01
|
|
||
you left me
flew into the sky
you made it to the indian
you never said goodbye
and you stayed there
with the others
underwater
undiscovered
i held you in my dreams
til they told me you were seen
in pieces at the bottom of the ocean
"i'm sorry for your loss,
i know you had a good thing going"
jets to beijing
they never make it home again

let me down gently
04:17
|
|
||
our love it was so deep and pure
we were absolutely sure
that when we'd met we'd found the one
our searching and our anguish done
when I look at you I feel the same
but i slowly watch you pull away
i refuse to give up on this now
i hope you'll stay true to your vow
but if you change your mind
try your best to be kind
i won't put up a fight
if you have to let me down
let me down gently, tonight
i'm not the girl i was before
what was once ain't anymore
i tried to spin it otherwise
but i could see it in your eyes
that we were once so evergreen
but we're fading like a cherry tree
no matter how i plead and pray
i know that nothing gold can stay
so when you change your mind
try your best to be kind
swear i won't put up a fight
but if you have to let me down
let me down gently, tonight
