1.
Just Friends 01:33
What if these fantasies came true? I was with you? What if you really tried this time? Really came through? But you won’t Driving home on my own Covered in cat hair again Again I ask myself Are we just friends?
 I ask myself Are we just friends?
2.
You call me and I come over I had so much to do today All my friends think I’m messing up But I smile as I’m driving away Cos I believe everything you say Every day she kills me It was quite the display Losing your shit on my birthday Should I make concessions Even though you push me away
3.
Baby 02:53
I’m getting better at looking after some things, like my brain But I’m getting worse at looking after your heart I said I’d never go, did you know that I’d change?
 Did you know that I’d become more of a baby Cos I have to say maybe, maybe I’ll go, or maybe I’ll stay When you’re looking at me that way I don’t think it’s better to act on a impulse all the time Should you trust your mind when you don’t like what it’s saying? If you’ve seen it all before, did you know that I’d change? Did you know that I’d become more of a baby Cos I have to say yes, when you undress, now this is a mess You don’t call me baby any more
4.
Love Letter 03:20
This is a love letter, to everything that never was To every time I didn’t hold you hand I should have kissed you on the balcony, by the sea But you didn’t understand, I couldn’t breathe My body, she’s got my body, she’s got my body You’ve got my soul I romanticise, I idealise, I’m so stupid in love with stupid love Are you sure that you adore me? Totally? Because there’s never a good time to be ready
5.
There’s something you need to leave behind, but sometimes if gets you Do you try to let the pain abide, if the pain is what made you, you? Did you know, it’s getting harder to love you, so fuck you I still call you father, and I love you, I love you You don’t own this experience It’s inconvenient to hear this, I feel it We all hurt in our own way, maybe I’ll tell you about it one day I’ll tell you about it one day Let it go, let it go because you’re dying Now she’s on the phone crying That’s my mother
6.
I used to look at you and see the night sky The more you look the more stars you can see Every time I think of you now I remember some new indignity I don’t wanna love you anymore I don’t wanna know what you did I don’t wanna think of you two any more On the sofa where we used to kiss Can we still be friends, like you told me from the start?
 Now you’re so near to the wild heart I just need one more day Not to think of you, and then I’ll be ok Then one day will turn into two And then there’s no more you Maybe you should say you never loved me from the start Now you’re so near to the wild I’m glad I made you feel like you could feel again I’m glad for good intentions The saddest touch then turn back to the car The saddest touch always got you this far
7.
Radio 03:45
In the car where we slept Unkempt we take a turn, we take a step You tongued my ear “Is this what you wanna hear?” Is this what you wanna hear Radio, the radio Wind it up and let it go Radio, white noise on the radio Do you think this could all end soon?
 I can’t get my head out your room
8.
Jennifer 02:56
It takes time to do what’s right Start taking your friends’ good advice We don’t wanna break promises Even when we have been forced to make them It took time to know you are still yours I am still mine I know this feeling won’t last forever We’re getting through some things together So what now?
 I guess we can do anything Jennifer, you haven’t been yourself this year Jennifer, I’m still getting over her For a minute there we lost ourselves, but maybe quietly
 We’re just getting back to who we used to be Where do you go at 2am When the moon is shining in Your bones are sore and your muscles harden I find you pacing in the garden
9.
What You At 04:27
In your room, the door is always open I am always open to you In your room, you move Among the mess we made, Yes this mess is ours, we’ve explicitly said it All this talk is masturbation Let’s dilute this situation That’s ok as long as you keep asking me What you at?
 Can I see you today?
 What you at?
 Before I go away? You need a good woman I’m ok at being that In your bed, we end the day I wanna end the day in your bed There is a thread, it leads me back to you Tell me, if this is not true then why does it fit when we both pull on it? When you tell me that I’m perfect But somehow you don’t deserve it That’s ok just please don’t stop asking me
10.
I am leaf, blown about by the winds of my desire The woman comes, she burns me up like fire I am gone I am crushed, my chest collapses in the palm of your hand Look me in the eye make me cum on demand Then say goodbye I’m not your, I’m not your one goddamn thing Do you both sleep at night, in the bedding that I bought you?
 Does it scratch your back like I do?
 Does it sting?
11.
Salute 01:55
Would you walk under this ladder with me?
 No you won’t take the risk So kill the feeling burn the poetry If everything’s a sign, then nothing is Every bird you salute Tell me, how’s that working out for you?
 Cos you never will come through You never will come through For me
