in a hungover shower
i quenched my tongue's thirst
the water warm and mellow
but colder at first
and we played first
i drank through your set
the car that took me home
couldn't fit a drum kit
i've been lonely i've been lazy
i've been gaining weight
i've been buying drugs
and trying them before it's safe
and you've been on my mind
like my skull and my curls
but i always see you out
with other girls
so come on fat jodi just give me a try
you know you know want to have someone on the side
so come on fat jodi just give me a try
you know you know want to have someone on the side
and that's me

PERFECTLY ENAMORED
VERSE
F Bb C Bb F
Ever so slowly things will change
And soon your heart won't feel the same
And when you watch the final scene
And watch their car drive down the pike
It'll be too different from your life
Ever so slowly you'll get bored
Of doing coke with herbivores
And when you start to gain it back
You'll sweat it off on a high school track
The girls will think you took a class
honey you should teach a class
About talking shit and coming last
And when I buy the filming rights
they'll turn our story lilywhite
but i know what you're really like
CHORUS
F Gmin C F
Cause I've been
Perfectly enamored it's true
But perfect doesn't matter with you
whose side are you on
Cause I've been
Perfectly enamored it's true
But perfect doesn't matter with you
whose side are you on
VERSE
F Bb C Bb F
And you'll stop moving every year
You'll pretend you like it here
You'll pretend you're on my side
So content to live a lie
If we live it side by side
I like you better far away
But i know you always get your way
so i'll make friends with other folks
switch the honing on my scopes
Never call on Christmas day
and i'll always cry when i think of you
you're a tired lion in the como zoo
too much pride to make a change
skins too thin to ask advice
too much whiskey in your drinks
CHORUS
F Gmin C F
Cause I've been
Perfectly enamored it's true
But perfect doesn't matter with you
whose side are you on
Cause I've been
Perfectly enamored it's true
But perfect doesn't matter with you
whose side are you on
VERSE
F Bb C Bb F
Ever so slowly things will change
And soon your heart won't feel the same
From open book to charred remains
From best of friends to bad with names
From summit ave to 7th place
And you might think I'll love again
To remind my legs why they can bend
To keep my heart from losing steam
To keep my dreams from dreaming dreams
We'll disagree to disagree
CHORUS
F Gmin C F
Cause I've been
Perfectly enamored it's true
But perfect doesn't matter with you
whose side are you on
Cause I've been
Perfectly enamored it's true
But perfect doesn't matter with you
whose side are you on

Hi, My Name is Ana
04:41
|
|||
hi my name is ana
put your name on the list in chicago
went to beauty school now you're blow drying models
it's easy to see why i'm checking for you with your thick ass frame
i know that you think i'm only popping game
i'm stuck on you like a sticker reading
chorus
Hi my name is ana
welcome to chicago
and even if you ain't my man
i ain't a groupie for your band
you understand?
got a drink at the bar after the last band
low lights while the ice breakers happen
in a world where there’s just one night
in a city where’s there late last call
we found a rhythm between our trips
we found a number we could always call
we split the fare and a camel light
on the way back to portage park
when we got back to your place that night
you whispered soft in the dark
chorus
Hi my name is ana
welcome to chicago
and even if you ain't my man
i ain't a groupie for your band
you understand?
put your name on the list at the entry
smiled when they crossed you off the spreadsheet
came backstage bought while i wrote my set
-----(2 bar nonsense break)
we split half a joint
you said that you're on my side
honey you were there when my momma was sick
i was there when your momma died
there ain't nothing wrong
with the distance between our lives
but i wouldn't mind being closer to you
should the opportunity arise
but you ain't nothing but a midwest boy
i got my bags packed for the bay
tonight i'm too high to say goodbye
but i hope someday to say
chorus
hi my name is ana
welcome to california
it's easy in the winter sun
so visit on your vacation
we can still have some fun

FREE CHANGE
Lyrics
You know it's never easy
Staying up and waiting for you
I bet that's it's so easy
To be only ever thinking of you
And I don't need your money
cept for what you're paying me back
CHORUS:
Change change change change
Change change change change
changed all you wanted me to
gave gave gave gave
gave gave gave gave
i gave up when you gave up too
you drove me to my last day
at a job i shoulda never quit
you asked if i was happy
and if i was then get over it
walked into my bosses'
he told me i should stay here and work
i said it's never easy
it's only easy when you're making it worse
pause 1 bar
CHORUS:
Change change change change
Change change change change
changed all you wanted me to
gave gave gave gave
gave gave gave gave
i gave up when you gave up too
plain for all to see
broken beautifully
i left for brighter days
now i'm stuck here waiting
plain for all to see
broken beautifully
i left for brighter days
now i'm stuck here waiting
you know i bleed too easy
through the half heart you left me with
i try to bring it all back
i got half a mind to let you stitch
Change change change change
Change change change change
changed all you wanted me to
gave gave gave gave
gave gave gave gave
i gave up when you gave up too

Good Things
02:47
|

got this feeling
when i heard your name the other day
couldn't say it
couldn't make it go away
it's a hard place
can't be friends we can't be enemies
it's just too much
i feel the weight crushing down on my face
the hardest part is things already said
getting better worse i cannot tell
why do good things never wanna stay
some things you lose some things you give away
broken pieces
try and make it good again
is it worth
it will it make me safe today?
it's a dumb song
but i'll write it anyway
it's an old mistake
but we always make it why do we
this time it'll be alright
this time it'll be okay
the hardest part is things already said
getting better worse i cannot tell
why do good things never wanna stay
some things you lose some things you give away

HALFWAY ROAD
Something comes over me
Whenever you go to sleep
Under my arms
Don’t want no blues to sing
Don’t want bad news to ring
Into our home
Just need your eyes to close
Before my eyes do close
And bring us to sleep
And when you wake up
You start to move your feet
Please don’t wake me
(please please don’t wake me)
I’ve got some time
Before I need to rise
Please don’t wake me
(please please don’t wake me)
I’ll wait until
sun touches on my legs
Please don’t wake me
(please please don’t wake me)
And when I wake up
I dream all day of
Please don’t wake me
(please please don’t wake me)

V1
If it’s easy enough for you baby
If it’s enough than just
Come and grab all your shit from
When there was an us
V2
If it’s easy enough for you baby
If it’s really all the same
Then when we’re through talkin’
Please don’t bring up my name
V3
I used to dream about you
But now I get more sleep
And when you wanted a break
I got to my feet
CH
So if it’s enough for you baby
If it’s easy enough to be
It mighta been hard for you babe
But it was too easy for me
V4
I just keep on thinkin’
((()))) About all the world I got to see
and you can still make your big plans
but you can’t make them with me
V5
And I just got one answer
When they come askin’ me
What happened to your old one
she was too easy for me
CH
So if it’s enough for you baby
If it’s easy enough to be
It mighta been hard for you babe
But it was too easy for me

Sister's Wine
Verse 1
We were high,
But coming down,
One false move
We could have touched the ground
But you were young,
And we thought we were,
So we were fine
We were lost,
Where we got lost before,
One bad turn,
We’d have flipped the car
But it was clear,
In the evening light,
It was clear
chorus 1
My trouble is,
There’s nothing so good,
As how it tasted on my throat in the woods,
It was fine, it was fine,
Your sister’s wine
verse 2
We were late,
But you’d broke your clock
One more rev,
We would have hit the dock,
We were scared,
But you held it there,
On that quiet lake
chorus 2
My trouble is,
There’s nothing so good,
As how it tasted on my throat in the woods,
It was fine, it was fine,
Your sister’s
wine
we were scared ,
of what'd you'd say
but it doesn't matter now
we were old
and we knew we were
when we heard you say
outro
can't you see
this is not for me
we were fine
we were fine
your sister's wine

Arbys and Sbarros

Arby’s and Sbarros
I read the note that you left
I can’t believe all the things you say
Matter of fact, maybe it’s time
To jog your memory
Wasn’t just, a year back,
I was flying into DCA
Getting freaky on the cab ride to your place
My legs sliding up against the plastic plate, but uh
CHORUS
can’t figure out why you’re leaving tomorrow
we used to be like arby’s and sbarros
VERSE
You trusted words,
Maybe I, masked mistakes, to make you stay
On the chance you’d make the same
wouldn’t that have made my day
I made my bed,
I suppose a lot of people got to stay the night
wasn’t the plan, I had in mind
but I always thought we’d be allright
CHORUS
can’t figure out why you’re leaving tomorrow
we used to be like arby’s and sbarros

Without Warning

WITHOUT WARNING
I think somebody will tell
sooner or later
too many holes in the loop
no easy way to evade her
and if they find me i'll talk
i'll tell them how you were fighting
i'll tell them about us
the tourniquet tightens
i hope you're bleeding tonight
i hope it ends in the morning
i hope you think you'll survive
i hope it comes without warning
and when they brought up your name
i knew the reason
you made a doll out of her
you couldn't be decent
they mentioned things that i won't
they mentioned places we'd visit
and when i go there now
i'll have to think of the poison you've been giving
i hope you're bleeding tonight
i hope it ends in the morning
i hope you think you'll survive
i hope it comes without warning (TWICE)

Nightshirt Divorce

nightshirt divorce
oh this old thing i know it,
doesn't fit right
but it's what i used to wear to bed every night
you might laugh at it now
cause it's all full of holes, full of holes
i know
but at night when we rest
while the ceiling fan works
and your body gets sweaty
and you turn and you jerk
i sleep through the night
in my oldest night shirt
and you wonder why
show up on time for work
and you wonder why i
want a change want a change
from the struggle that simmers
every night, every day
from the love that we opened
like ovens too soon
and seasoned raw meat
and consumed and consumed
until our problems
could keep us from sleep
you're not in love
you're on repeat
instrumental x2
oh this old thing i know it
doesn't fit right
but i wear it for comfort
not for you sight
not for something to whisper
when i'm brushing my teeth
to open the floodgates
to fine toothed critique
you tell me you're changing
you're changing this day
then tomorrow comes early
and fucks up today
and the next day's no different
and our frames start to freeze
until i'm watching myself start to leave start to leave
until our problems
could keep us from sleep
you're not in love
you're on repeat
refrain
oh i waited so long
to be your girl
but now i'm gone

Being in Love With You
02:53
|

Hello, here's a mug,
I buy the cheap stuff when you leave town
But I knew, youd want a cup of your fancy brew
Baby I love being in love with you
On the days, when I work
You got a plate when I come home
I do the same when you're out working too
Baby I love being in love with you
And at night, When you sleep
I play my chords so quietly
I won't wake you, my darling needs to snooze
Baby I love being in love with you
extra repeat: Baby I love being in love with you
Solo (12 bars)
Hello, here's a glass
I got the wine with the stupid name
Have a glass I'll have a glass or two
Baby I love being in love with you
extra repeat: Baby I love being in love with you

Cigarettes

Cigarettes
You’re too young
to stop smoking all those cigarettes
You’re too young
to stop smoking all those cigarettes
Maybe I could love you if you loved someone else
It’s just too much pressure to do it all by myself
you can take me home like we’re both leaving town
or we can sit around and wonder what we’re supposed to do now
without my inhibitions i sit dead on the vine
i need to make my own mistakes before i make up my mind
nobody said you’re easy, but you’re easy to please
it would please me just as quick if you turn round and leave
You’re too young
to stop smoking all those cigarettes
it might be time to just bum
but you’re so pretty, they’d all just loan you one
You can ask questions in the corner
And answer all by yourself
Or leave me like your ex
From every story you tell
I'm one for messy starts
With strings still attached
But if she made you feel good
make her take you back
I always thought you had the sense
to leave an open door
if you didn’t want me
why do you always want more
nobody said it’s over, but it’s hard to forget
that you raced to break a promise without breaking a sweat
