Nowhere I'd Rather Be

You there standing with your eyes wide open
through the curtain there’s nothing to see
If you close your eyes just for a moment
I’m quite certain that our eyes will meet
That way we’ll be in the same location
waiting in the brilliant station
in our minds a storm is gonna brew
I have been waiting for you all night now
Ain’t nothing better than killing time with you
There’s nothing I’d rather do
You can come over whenever you want me
And being nearby you well that fills me with glee
There’s nowhere I’d rather be
Nowhere i’d rather be
There’s this feeling that I have beside you
it might consume too much of me this time
And even if i’m not released from inside this tomb
I know I’ll have a way to stay alive
You’re the blood coursing through my veins
even though you’ve brought on this reign
but I’ll never give up on you, this is true
I have been waiting for you all night now
Ain’t nothing better than killing time with you
There’s nothing I’d rather do
You can come over whenever you want me
And being nearby you well that fills me with glee
There’s nowhere I’d rather be
Nowhere i’d rather be
It seems as though my time has come
even though I know I’ve done nothing wrong
but at least I get to see you
and I know that I can get through
all this misery we will become anew
I have been waiting for you all night now
Ain’t nothing better than killing time with you
There’s nothing I’d rather do
You can come over whenever you want me
And being nearby you well that fills me with glee
There’s nowhere I’d rather be
Nowhere i’d rather be

Voodoo

Lucky charms aren’t lucky
Don’t waste your change on wells
No incantations save your soul
don’t try casting spells
you can’t get luck from waiting
rabbit’s feet aren’t cheap
you can wish upon a star
but you’re just losing sleep
warm me up, have your way
take me home today
You’ve got that Voodoo, Voodoo, Voodoo
That’s why I need you, need you, need you
I’m your voodoo doll, you make me rise or fall
the only thing that I need, just put that voodoo in me
I took a walk downtown
Because you’re always there
You watch upon your throne
You’ve got that sweet affair
magic cloaked in mystery
tied off with a bow
there’s no where else I’d rather be
no one I’d rather know
warm me up, have your way
take me home today
You’ve got that Voodoo, Voodoo, Voodoo
That’s why I need you, need you, need you
I’m your voodoo doll, you make me rise or fall
the only thing that I need, just put that voodoo in me
Oh Captain my Captain
are you in the Loop
Triple Chocolate Penetration
I’ll give you the scoop
call me an old fashioned
but I live on maple bacon
arnold palmer toasted coconut
that dirty bastard’s taken
jelly filled jelly roll
powered, sprinkled, spread
I’ll be raspberry romeo
as I cruller into bed
warm me up, have your way
take me home today
You’ve got that Voodoo, Voodoo, Voodoo
That’s why I need you, need you, need you
I’m your voodoo doll, you make me rise or fall
the only thing that I need, just put that voodoo in me

#sorrynotsorry
03:30
|

I don’t know why I feel so inclined
to not say the words that may come to mind
Instead when everything falls apart
I apologize without any second thought
But I’m done saying i’m sorry
you know i’d rather be lonely
then have to take the fall
I’m so sick of feeling at fault
when I know that i’m not.
Finally I’m standing tall
And i’m never apologizing to you ever again
I don’t care if we’re enemies or friends
You can’t comprehend the stress that this has put on me
From this prison I may finally be free
sorry not sorry
I’ve grown tired of your stupid ruse
Acting like I’m dumb or I’m just confused
And I have still played along anyway
but it’s time for me to say what i need to say
I’m done saying i’m sorry
you know i’d rather be lonely
than have to live like this
I’m done with feeling at fault
when I know that i’m not.
I won’t miss
That i’m never apologizing to you ever again
I don’t care if we’re enemies or friends
Because this is not the way that I should feel inside
I’d rather leave than lose my pride
sorry not sorry

The CRT
The Roman roller blackout shades
the black and white French film
on VHS tape
Let’s be vandals,
let’s sneak in the back door
spill our popcorn
all over the airport carpet floor
And what was that thing that you told me to try
I think it was in the blink of an eye
kulishavs effects
across the northern sky
Lets make a movie
set our emotions in 2D
let’s make a movie, you and me
Did you bring gaff tape
in your grace kelly bag
an overnight success
and I can’t help but brag
Were you still shooting
when we saw the shooting star
Run down that bridge
but promise you won’t run too far
dailies in the projection booth
I’ve heard it said that ambivalence means truth
Lets make a movie
set our emotions in 2D
let’s make a movie, you and me
Lights dim on reality
And so begins the silver halide fallacy
Waiting for your head to reach my shoulder
before the credits roll, before the movie’s over
The CRT
the roman roller blackout shades
the way we both forgot
the VHS tape
let’s make a movie,
you and me
me and you
you and me

Take Control
02:39

Give me the reigns, I’m taking control
no need to explain, I’m saving my own soul
my blood will keep on pumping
pointing me to what I want
there’s no reason to wait
it’s always my last shot
This false jealousy
is gonna get the best of me
shouldn’t care where I end up
no such thing as supposed to be
I’m always in the dark
I’m faith lost in the woods
I’ve got a broken heart
these metaphors don’t do us any good
where have I been all of my life?
how could I see with my eyes closed?
Give me the reigns, I’m taking control
no need to explain, I’m saving my own soul
my blood will keep on pumping
pointing me to what I want
there’s no reason to wait
it’s always my last shot
I’m sick of being wronged
I’m sick of doing right
I don’t know who I’m looking for
I just want to go out tonight
No more false starts
there’s nothing wrong with leavin’
I’m sick of useless longing
I’m sick of getting even
things change, it’s time to let it go
take what you need I’m moving on
Give me the reigns, I’m taking control
no need to explain, I’m saving my own soul
my blood will keep on pumping
pointing me to what I want
there’s no reason to wait
it’s always my last shot
And when the end is near
I won’t be far from here
I will stand my ground
You can take my hand
only if you understand
I’m never backing down
no I ‘m never backing down
Give me the reigns, I’m taking control
no need to explain, I’m saving my own soul
my blood will keep on pumping
pointing me to what I want
there’s no reason to wait
it’s always my last shot

Bloody Hot
02:47
|

The warm weather makes me irritable
There’s nothing in the world that can sooth my soul
when rains fall it dampens my skin with rage
and it feels nothing will set me free from this cage
Because
It’s so bloody hot
I’d rather lay down and die
It’s so bloody hot
There’s not a cloud in the sky
It’s so bloody hot
No breeze can ease my troubled sighs
It’s so bloody hot
I need to find some shade to hide
Where can I find some relief?
There’s nowhere cool to let off heat
The pools crowded the movies packed
Too many bodies, thick air contracts
It’s so bloody hot
I’d rather lay down and die
It’s so bloody hot
There’s not a cloud in the sky
It’s so bloody hot
No breeze can ease my troubled sighs
It’s so bloody hot
I need to find some shade to hide
When will the weather change so I can be relieved?
The intense sunlight and hot pavement has me peeved
I don’t want to wait
This dead heat I hate
Where can I go?
There’s nowhere to run
Away from the sun
I think we all know
It’s so bloody hot
I’d rather lay down and die
It’s so bloody hot
There’s not a cloud in the sky
It’s so bloody hot
No breeze can ease my troubled sighs
It’s so bloody hot
I need to find some shade to hide

Love You Less
02:57
|
|||
|
I’m stuck right here where I made my place
Your hurling through all time and space
You’re every battle, every war
I love you less, I love you more
If I escape the things I’ve done
If I remember how to run
I still won’t know what I’m running for
I’ll love you less, I’ll love you more
You made me rate you
you made me hate your
worst of all it’s not even about me anymore
We’ve both moved on
I think I’m stronger
but when I finally love you less the next day I’ll just love you more
we were restless, we were young
You fell over my teeth and tongue
mais ce qui brille n’etais pas d”or
I love you less, I love you more
You made me rate you
you made me hate your
worst of all it’s not even about me anymore
We’ve both moved on
I think I’m stronger
but when I finally love you less the next day I’ll just love you more
All the silence wrapped around us
left with only fragmented smoking embers
Becoming ashes as it all crashes
but singularly you’re still with me and I still remember
You were smiling by the river
I was smiling in your arms
You shook my house with every shiver
The nest we made was safe and warm
You made me rate you
But I could never hate you
sometimes I still think that it could be just like before
I know we’ve moved on
I think I’m stronger
but when I finally love you less the next day I’ll just love you more
You made me rate you
you made me hate your
worst of all it’s not even about me anymore
We’ve both moved on
I think I’m stronger
but when I finally love you less the next day I’ll just love you more

Time Apart
03:38
|

|
I really didn’t want to break your heart
But I feel we just need some time apart
I didn’t want to hurt you but you’re hurting me
I hope you understand and leave me be
You're not the same
I’m not to blame
But the rain keeps falling and I can’t stay afloat
This went too fast
It could never last
Now I know what I need, I must be my own boat
I’m getting sick of all the stuff you say
And now I need to travel far away
You couldn’t take the hint so I’m the one to go
Trapped like this I feel that I may explode
You're not the same
I’m not to blame
But the rain keeps falling and I can’t stay afloat
This went too fast
It could never last
Now I know what I need, I must be my own boat
cause i’m drowning with you
I don’t have enough room
if you go down, why must I, too?
I can swim on my own
I don’t mind if i’m alone
Quit dragging me down like a stone
I really didn’t want to break your heart
But I feel we just need some time apart
It’s not forever, it just has to be this way
perhaps we will meet again someday

There’s a sign outside the door
of the house that I would have bought for you
there’s a murderer living next door
from the house that we would have lived in
Across from the water
across from the dock
we’d let the salt air wake us
we’d always leave the door unlocked
where have you gone to
what is your new address
my house is falling apart
looks fine on the outside but inside it’s just a mess
This is the ring you would have worn
if I had married you
this is the ring you would have thrown as you
walked out the door
in your perfect rage
in your beautiful storm
you could light this entire apartment on fire
and I’d still stay inside cause at least I’d be warm
where have you gone to
what is your new address
my house is falling apart
looks fine on the outside but inside it’s just a mess
the tree in the backyard we’d like a ladder
go watch the stars and pretend we know the shapes they make
a pile of blankets, a bottle of wine
begging for forgetfulness
but it’s never gonna be fine

I don’t have a girlfriend
I’m forever alone
no one to kiss or cuddle with
no one to text
Seems like everyone’s taken
or extremely straight
can’t even get a girl
to go on a ninja date
give up on love and get a cat (x2)
Did your ex girlfriend lie to you?
guess what a cat won’t do?
it’ll just meow when you come home
won’t make you move to another state
you won’t even have to go on a date
they will follow you wherever you may roam
give up on love and get a cat x2
Your GF texts you all your flaws
cat’s can’t do that ‘cause they’ve got paws
and claws to use when your ex gf’s boyfriend moves in
they won’t seduce you so you’ll buy them booze
they just want to lay down and snooze
you can’t meet their parents because they probably don’t have ‘em
give up on love and get cat x2
You can still be loved and live in squalor
if you get a new gf your cat won’t maul her
your cat won’t be ashamed to be in public with you
cats will never lead you on
they’ll clearly tell you what they want
a girlfriend can never love you as much cats do
give up on love and get a cat
