Neighborhood Static
03:20
|
|||
|
the radio took me to hollywood
the highway led to your front door
there’s static in this neighborhood
the past was the one thing we could never ignore
CHORUS:
sometimes it must feel
just like
it’s not real
somewhere i suspect
there’s a disconnect
sometimes
i wish
i was someone else
sometimes
i wish
i was someone else
sometimes
i wish
i was someone else
sometimes
portland was my self defense
and we collected unanswered phone calls
i never knew you in the present tense
if you were summer, i was always fall
CHORUS
sunshine was our guarantee
the movies broke my heart
there’s pieces of you in pieces of me
we’re never together, but we’re never apart
CHORUS

let’s be unclear about this
treat love like a myth
walk hand in hand down to the shore
we’re both looking for the hearts that beat
but sometimes the hearts that beat
don’t beat anymore
don’t beat anymore
CHORUS:
Sometimes you can’t hear
the girl with the sweet face
over the roar of everything
in LA
let’s be unsure about this
treat life like a kiss
walk hand in hand down through the night
we’re both looking for the reasons to live
but sometimes
the reasons don’t feel right
the reasons don’t feel right
CHORUS

you’re my favorite kinda universe
you’re my favorite kinda universe
you’re my favorite kinda universe
and i will be there
swinging for the fences
my mistake is
i’m offended
all the seasons, all the changes
hold you closer
as it gets stranger
cuz
you’re my favorite kinda universe
you’re my favorite kinda universe
you’re my favorite kinda universe
and i will kiss you
when you’re dreaming
time and rhythm are so deceiving
you’re the sunlight
and i’m the northwind
there’s no denying
what i’m feeling
cuz
you’re my favorite kinda universe
you’re my favorite kinda universe
you’re my favorite kinda universe

Back By The Water
04:38
|

what were we really scared of when we drove all through that night?
dreams that’ll never happen like lost angels in mid-flight
down by the water
down by the water
i kissed you so hard
we swam for an hour
swam for an hour
but we never got that far
this is what it feels like when you’re young
and everything is first
back by the water
back by the water
fore the shadows start to hurt
what were we really thinking when we got drunk in the sun?
dreams that left us shaking and hopes you were the one
down by the water
down by the water
i held you so tight
we kissed for a second
kissed for a second
and it lasted all night
This is what it feels like when you’re young
and everything is fresh
back by the water
back by the water
till there’s nothing left
i never knew
i never knew
what i lost
when i lost you
i never knew
i never knew
what i lost
when i lost you
what were we really missing when we left it all behind?
dreams that were always changing and a love we can’t define
down by the water
down by the water
i watched you slip away
i froze for a moment
froze for a moment
i’m still frozen today
this is what it feels like when you’re young
and then you’re not
so go back to the water
back to the water
and the love that you forgot

Where are you Clementine?
lost somewhere online?
it's hard to breathe without the reasons
You're such a smart one
learned young to play dumb
they're not demons if no one sees them
CHORUS:
No one no how
cares about
anything
but you and me
will
sing
Where are you Clementine?
it's close to closing time
I know for you
that has no meaning
How'd you get so lost
with all them fingers crossed?
sometimes it's just because
they lose the feeling
CHORUS
Where are you Clementine?
in all this moonshine?
maybe darkness
is just the end of dreaming
and I hear what you say
even though you've gone away
I still apologize for
what you're seeing
CHORUS

Haven't Heard It Yet
03:50
|
|||
|
she was talking rocket speak
i was dreaming bubble gum
she said "it's a long way home
when you're living on the run."
the moon was taking adderall
the kids were drinking PBR
she kissed like california
and sang just like a broken heart
CHORUS:
Somebody help me please
I think I'm falling down
I think I'm falling down
I'm not strong enough to forget
Somebody told me once
there's a song that'll set you free
but I just haven't heard it
i just haven't heard it yet
she was smoking crystal balls
i was praying hollywood
she said something about the past
i don't think it was good
the stars were tripping on the sky
the kids were mostly dead
she fell down on the bathroom floor
and this is what she said-
CHORUS
BRIDGE-
Who we are and who we are when we go
I'm afraid I'm drowning and nobody knows
Do people like you and people like me change?
We don't talk to no one, if we did we would say-
CHORUS

Reruns Of You
03:36
|
|||
|
I for one get lost at night
I lose the sun and I lose my light
I start having crooked dreams
bout lives I use to live
Sometimes it gets the best of me
it's usually around a quarter to three
I never know just what to do
when they start-
CHORUS:
Cuz it's one
it's two
it's these reruns of you
that keep me guessing when you go
yeah it's one
it's two
it's these reruns of you
who I kiss in the dark I do not know
I never know where it's coming from
what it is or what its done
it's a fear I just can't shake
no matter what I try
The shadows start to expand
the more I see, the less I understand
and you're there every night
no matter what-
CHORUS
I for one get lost at night
I lose the sun and I lose my light
I start having crooked dreams
bout lives I use to live
I never know just who to be
in the ruins of you and me
I close my eyes and hold on tight
every single-
CHORUS

The California Sound
03:52
|
|||
|
i heard she’s looking for
i heard she’s looking for
i heard she’s looking for
the california sound
i know she’s looking for
i know she’s looking for
i know she’s looking for
that california sound
and she has been in love
since the first time
that it killed her
some forgotten night
and i have been lost
since the first time
that i met her
and i’ve never felt so right
i know she’s looking for
i know she’s looking for
i know she’s looking for
the california sound
i heard we’re looking for
i think we’re looking for
i know we’re looking for
that california sound
most days
i just lie awake and dream it all back
the colors you collect sometimes
they all turn to black
she said when you can’t remember
who or what you are
just know that the moon aint nothing
but a million little stars
i heard she’s looking for
i heard she’s looking for
i heard she’s looking for
the california sound
i know she’s looking for
i know she’s looking for
i know she’s looking for
that california sound
and she has been in love
and a little out of tune
since that night in hollywood
and i have been gone
just only passing through
the static in your neighborhood
i know we’re looking for
i think we’re living for
i know we’re living for
the california sound
i heard she’s dying for
i think we’re dying for
i know she’s dying for
that california sound

Shadows At Sunrise
03:31
|
|||
|
it was hollow
it was nothing
it was perfect
it was something
you were the best one
and you were the last one
and now that it's over
and now that it's over
CHORUS:
take my heart
but not my advice
and meet me
in the shadows at sunrise
colors are changing
the memories fading
was it a full moon
the first night we kissed?
the roads that we travel
they all come unraveled
or maybe our highways
just never exist
CHORUS
it was hollow
it was nothing
it was perfect
it was something
you were the best one
and you were the last one
and now that it's over
and now that it's over
