Where Did We Live?

There’s still one way that works to get over a mistake and it’s to write a song about it and sing that song forever
Last night you drank and
Flirted with the horizon
But that move might
Not be a wise one
Your friends are frantic
They’re always whispering over
You when you pass out
On the sofa
You say it’s a vacation
But they know it’s home invasion
And they’re running
Out of patience
While you keep on trying hard to know what most people don’t even need to be told
But there’s still one way that works to make it through a day
Still one way that works to mend the things you break
Still one way that works to get over a mistake
And it’s to write a song about it and sing that song forever
You always were the
One who went a bit too far
Drag your friends
Off to one more bar
But when the cops came calling
You were never scared to answer
Drag them down a dead end
And warn whoever they’re after
You were everyone’s bartender
Therapist and moneylender,
When we had nowhere to go.
But you had all those imaginary walls and you never built an imaginary door
But there’s still one way that works to make it through a day
Still one way that works to mend the things you break
Still one way that works to get over a mistake
And it’s to write a song about it and sing that song forever
Now you see how they look at you
Every single night
And you don’t know what to say
You’ve run out of songs to write
But all your old songs
Haven’t disappeared
They ran away to the woods,
And made up little songs of their own
Now they’re out of control
Running round, singing themselves
To themselves,
And you’re losing tracks
Maybe people will always see
That you’re just a local
From a place no good real
Estate agent would go
So turn up the volume
Of the voices that still love you,
Until they fill up
Your heart and your headphones,
You left a dollar on the table
It was bluer than the ocean
Denser than the big bang
I don’t know if I care about you but I care about caring about you
But there’s still one way that works to make it through a day
Still one way that works to mend the things you break
Still one way that works to get over a mistake
And it’s to write a song about it and sing that song forever
Still one way that works to get over a mistake
And it’s to write a song about it and sing that song forever

I don’t know why I can’t forget
What we have disappears when I look at it
But it comes back every time I turn away
I don’t know why we thought we could pretend
It was just an innocent game of spin the bottle between friends
Your turn left me turned around I’ll never learn
And I’ve been holding up the truth for so long
But it lies behind every line of this song
I tell myself I don’t need you
I put myself on a ration
I only get to think about you right before I go to sleep
So every night when I brush my teeth
I look in the mirror and I think
I wish you were here to brush your teeth too
I only see you once a week
A shooting star that’s so far above me
Your timing means you never have time for me
But when you heard me come in you turned around and you smiled
Maybe that’s not much but i think it's a pretty good smile

Suck It, John Donne

You always say that the things that seem to happen to everyone else they never happen for you
Well you're a bit weird but I gotta say there's something about you that someone out there is just gonna love
But i don't like the way he holds you back
You could do so much better than that
He's just a bedbug
So get him out of your head, love
I know he's always suckin' out your blood
But I think you've had enough
He's under your skin even though you don't remember inviting him in,
Now you gotta get rid of him
You wanna go out with your friends, but they're always worried that you'll bring him along
So you gotta stay home alone
You think he's gone but he always comes back a little bit later
You need an ex-terminator
But i don't like the way he holds you back
You could do so much better than that
He's just a bedbug
So get him out of your head, love
I know he's always suckin' out your blood
But I think you've had enough
He's just a bedbug
So get him out of your head, love
I know he's always suckin' out your blood
But I think you've had enough

Emily (x4)
You're a vegan and I'm a vegan too
But i think it means something pretty different to you
We both don't eat meat but on everything else we disagree
Emily(x4)
I buy food that is locally grown
And I use recycled papers when I smoke
You do a lot of cocaine and I'm pretty sure that's not fairtrade

I'll Find It
02:07

There's nothing left in this house to remind me of being innocent
Never have i ever been innocent
i thought i was a late bloomer but i was just in early decay
i ate fast food from a brown bag when i thought it was ok
Can't you tell from my face that i've been crying
Don't you wonder what else i've been hiding
There's a book i've been meaning to read and when i die i'm gonna get to it
There's five bucks in one of these pairs of pants and when i die i'm gonna find it
There's nothing left in this life to remind me of being who i could be
Never have i ever been who i could be
Sometimes people ask me why i never touch anything that i love
Well it's because i'm the worst human being that i know
Can't you tell from my face that i've been crying
Don't you wonder what else i've been hiding
There's a book i've been meaning to read and when i die i'm gonna get to it
There's five bucks in one of these pairs of pants and when i die i'm gonna find it

i don't wanna do this
that's what i said
so get your fucking hands off me
but i never seem to feel any real
sense of ownership over my own body
so if you wanna have me
you won't have to try very hard to get me
so if you wanna have me
you won't have to try very hard to get me
i don't wanna do this
that's what i said
so get your fucking hands off me
but i never seem to feel any real
sense of ownership over my own body
so if you wanna have me
you won't have to try very hard to get me
so if you wanna have me
you won't have to try very hard to get me

You thought you would grow but you shrank
And now no-one wants the body you rent,
So you’re back at the bar with a hint,
Unfold it like a napkin; you ask not to be asked
You never found a way to take you hand away from that glass
You sit in the corner every night
Cleaning up the footprints you left out of sight
Maybe everybody gets
Some kind of dose of bad luck, and yours is to never find love
When you meet someone new your first thought is that they could never want someone like you
But you know this is just a cycle;
A downward spiral
So you try to build some momentum
If this is final, go out breaking the silence, with
Babababab
Everyone goes home with their eyes shut
Because this town will hold your hand all the way
And if you try to let it go
It’ll keep you in tow bone to bone
No-one believes you but you know that this is parasite paradise
You had such lovely dreams,
But every day they get taken away
And the songs of yesterday, are tangled and tied up again,
Like the streets on a map
You wander round hoping someone will love you before you’re lost and found
But you know this is just a cycle;
A downward spiral
So you try to build some momentum
If this is final, go out breaking the silence, with
Babababab

Chicago

I’m still checking my phone
And hoping that an algorithm
Will make all of my decisions
hoping that an algorithm
Will make all of my decisions
Well I left a lot of things in Chicago
But I miss my heart most of all
To find my way on this drunk walk home
Because I’m so lost and so cold
All these houses look so warm
I spread my life to so many different places
But I don’t know how it ended up in pieces
Now I’m checking my phone
And hoping that an algorithm
Will make all of my decisions
hoping that an algorithm
Will make all of my decisions
See the night-grey bones of the snow exposed
By the tired lanterns leaning on their poles
This city is stranger than these strangers know
And there’s no moon and no stars
No roads between where we both are
I spread my life to so many different places
But I don’t know how it ended up in pieces
Now I’m checking my phone
And hoping that an algorithm
Will make all of my decisions
hoping that an algorithm
Will make all of my decisions
Hear the church bell ring over the prison gate
And the bank loan search for disinterested fate
In a fake british accent someone calls you mate
And you know you’ll never know this place
It’s where you fell not where you were raised
I spread my life to so many different places
But I don’t know how it ended up in pieces
Now I’m checking my phone
And hoping that an algorithm
Will make all of my decisions

Amtrak

Someone waits by the platform edge
There’s a story written in your head
There’s a ticket going one way
There’s a decision gotta be made
A thousand miles is a long way to go
For someone who might not love you
A thousand miles isn’t that far to go
Because this might be love
But if you’re hoping for
Someone to brighten up your life
Have you thought about someone who’s already by your side
A thousand days is a long time to wait
For someone who might not love you
A thousand days isn’t that long to wait
Because this might be love
But if you’re hoping for
Someone to make you not less alone
Have you thought about someone a little bit closer to home
Every ticket that you take at the train station
Every hour that you scour the map for new destinations
Every second that you spend at tourist information
Maybe it’s a dream, just a dream, just a stupid dream
Or maybe one day your love will take you everywhere
One day you’re gonna go everywhere

Where is the nearest public restroom in the pedestrian mall
Where is the best public restroom that I can use?
Is it at the university? I don’t wanna go there
Their toilets are trigger-happy with the automatic flush
No machine is telling me when it’s time to leave
I’ll leave when I’m done crying
What about the library? I don’t wanna go there
Their stall doors don’t go all the way to the floor
What if someone’s face appears in the gap? What if someone tries to grab my leg?
What if I see horses hooves walking past?
Where is the nearest public restroom in the pedestrian mall
Where is the best public restroom that I can use?
Is it at Cortada coffee? Well theirs are pretty good
You get the room to yourself, and I like their gender-neutral signs
But sometime the door looks like it’s locked when in fact it isn’t locked
Now I can’t go there any more
What about Prairie Lights bookstore? Well theirs is also pretty good
You get the room to yourself and the lock is like a fortress
But there’s graffiti in places you wouldn’t expect
Why do poetry grad students always do that
Where is the nearest public restroom in the pedestrian mall
Where is the best public restroom that I can use?
Is it at the Java House? That’s a good option,
But once when I was in there washing my hands
Another guy used the urinal and then he looked at me
And said “I’m not gonna wash my hands. And then I’m gonna touch a girl’s face”
I would say, in first place
Poindexter coffee at the graduate hotel
You are a hotel
