The Trouble With Us
03:00
|

I was busy thinking demons up
To plague my simple mind.
Tried to live an honest life
But then I realised
I couldn't grow a beard.
You kept harping on about your job
You think I should get one.
Heart attack at 41.
Well, that doesnt sound like fun to me,
I'd rather play guitar.
I wrote out my life story and
I read you every line.
You looked bored but you still smiled
then I guess an average life
doesn't make thrilling read.
You sang along with other songs
but you wouldn't sing with me.
Said “don't take it personally”,
I just “didn't have what she has”
and while that's true, it's kinda mean.

Round jigsaw
---
No corners. Hard to start. No first move. Lay it out.
But it all looks the same.
It's not the same.
There are edges.
Edges are not the same.
Corners. Edges. The rest.
If you can't start at the corner, start at the edge.
At least you start somewhere.
The start is done. All that's left is the rest.

Time to Wash Your Heart
03:18
|

# Time to wash your heart
Time to wash your heart
And rinse the veins
Knock out the dirt
Rid the stains
Walking without shoes
On broken grass
Following her footsteps
As she walks away
But she's still stuck in there
Still stuck in there
Wash your heart
Away
She's still stuck in there
Still stuck in there
Wash your heart
Away
The thought like a stain
A Rorschach test
Spread through your brain
Of a bleeding mess
Open the door
to an empty room
Dust on the floor
Dust on the broom
But she's still stuck in there
Still stuck in there
Wash your heart
Away
She’s still stuck in there
Still stuck in there
Wash your heart
Away
But when she's gone
There is no other mess you'd rather be
And when she's gone
There's no rehab, no recovery.
So she's still stuck in there
Still stuck in there
Wash your heart
Away
So she's still stuck in there
Still stuck in there
Wash your heart
Away

Rehearse in Reverse
02:44
|
|||
Chorus:
Rehearse in Reverse
It starts out bad but it ends up worse
Rehearse in reverse
Starts with a big finale
And ends up like an episode of Kate and Allie
The major faults become minor cracks
The minor chords become a laughter track
[Chorus]
The second act is kinda dumb
A fading lack of trust giving way to fun
We begin again with this backwards trend
Starting out as enemies and end up friends
[Chorus]
Let's forget what's coming after
Open the show with hollow laughter
Let's just pretend we don't know this ends
You come on stage left and then...
Start out last but you end up first.

Probably Not a Robot
01:39
|

Verse:
You're probably not a robot, like me.
Not saying I'm a robot. I'm saying I'm probably not.
Verse:
Is the sunset shining in your eyes or just red LEDs?
I don't want to turn and check but you might facing east.
Break:
If you are man-made, I'd like to meet the man.
More likely it's a team of scientists.
With PhDs. And a research grant.

Moved Permanently
01:45
|
|||
If you're looking for me
I won't be found
I moved permanently
I'm not around
If you're looking for me
Go to my old spot
But if you think I'm there
I'm not
If you're looking for me
I won't be found
I moved permanently
I'm not around
Where I was Is
not where I am
I am not in that space
I am in another place
If you're wondering why
I'm not at home
I am. It's just that my home
Is somewhere new

At His Party
02:38
|

There's a guy with invitations
Sits at the mouth of the stream
And he's tired of seeing the back of dreams
And he wants a dream of his own
And he knows it'll all fall out somehow
And he knows it'll smash when it hits the ground
And he knows he can't stop at all.
He can see himself
[Chorus]
At his party
When everyone came.
They all crowded in to see how he was
They brought him a present and all got him cards
And then let him be.
Never lost since the day he found
his dream and got on his way
He got bent around
Didn't want let down
So he dropped everything on the way
Knew it would all fall out somehow
And he knew that he'd smash when he hit the ground
And he knew he couldn't stop at all.
He could see himself
[Chorus]
At his party
When everyone came
They all crowded in to see how he was
Brought him a present and all got him cards
and then let him be.

Start the day again
Just hit reset
Begin again
Up and start the day
Bring you coffee in bed
When it’s time to leave
I'll keep hitting reset
Start off the day again
before we leave the bed
Just hit reset
Messed up today
Should undo it then
Too slow on the brakes
Got to start again
Hit reset
Start again
