Rom-Com 02:25
She told me it was nice to meet me and she said it kinda creepily. Her eye contact was good. She stood closer than she should... She told me that I "looked familiar" and had I "been playin billiards? or what's the word?" Well she wasn't sure But in the movie version we would fall in love. We'd fall in love. She told me that her Greek was brilliant. Well I showed her I was resilient; I said I wasn't Greek. And she didn't believe me. She asked me what I'd like to drink and would I hit on anything of her's tonight? Well it wasn't right But in the movie version we would fall in love. We'd fall in love. Met a girl from West Michigan We started hangin' out again down by the shore, wonderin what's in store. Never had a whole lot in common but back in college we both ate Ramen. How we loved to hate it. Then we graduated But in the movie version we'd first fall in love. We'd fall in love.

When I dream of you and all that we will do I see it clearly (he clearly doesn't) I see it clearly (clearly) When I wake up to that saying "it's no use" I close my eyes again (closed eyes). I close my eyes again (closed thighs) and I wonder when I'll wake to somethin new (He wonders when the women will wake too). When we met on the bus I thought I'd won you over with my puns about the other kind of love that we would never have (Since they met on the bus she may have met another man who won her over with the types of puns she could be won over with) One love (one love) won love (weak pun) (He waited but she never called him back) I waited but she never gave One love One love, won heart Let's get together and feel alright

Therapist 02:18
Some people are humans. Some people are boys. They don't know what they're missin. They're missin it all. Some people are humans. Some people are boys. They don't know what they're missin. Don't expect me to tell Cause I don't know I'm only a man I don't know I hope I never understand I like just one half of a song

Apple butter and cinnamon, raisin bread and you Appetites and cold sweats honey if the foot don't fit the shoe I'm left all alone underneath my clothes. Underneath my clothes... Life cycles with all your friends when the Tide comes to fall. when the timing is off and you come fold my arms again... I can't stand it here, underneath my clothes. Underneath my clothes Cigarettes and cannonballs and one-night stands and three-way calls and maybe i can't bear the weight of such a heavy load. I'm left all alone underneath my clothes underneath my clothes

Easy 02:45
It's so easy to close your eyes It's so easy to bite your tongue It's so easy to be afraid With a little work and open eyes you'll be okay You can sleepwalk in your sleep Talk in your dreams, speak to her softly Or you can cry into your pillow, weep to your bed. Or you can pray over your head, facing the east What does it mean? Where is the west? Over the mountain away with the sun It's so easy to close your eyes It's so easy to bite your tongue It's so easy to be afraid But get to work, with open eyes you'll be okay You can hide out in the woods next to your best friend on the earth holdin your breath, hand in hand, under the sky Or you can pray that mother nature will always keep you both in her hearts but you won't ever feel them beat til you open your eyes Or you can slow down to your feet feelin the earth under your toes Even the blind open their eyes through alternative means Or you can sit close to the clothesline Dampen the old mind the rest of your lifetime and you can grow your feelings of lovetime and see it all It's also easy to open your eyes It's also easy to taste your tongue It's also easy to feel the earth beneath your feet With a little work and open eyes your life will change. With a little work and open eyes your life will change.

When I lost ya to the river I knew I'd never be the same God'll wonder bout the weather But he will not forget your name No he will not forget your name When the police told our mother and she came runnin through the farm She said not to worry brother She said that God had worked his charm She said that God had worked his charm But why the water? God won't tell me. Why the water?! God don't know. Holy water, drownin my feet Holy water, let em go Holy water, let em go! When I lost ya to the river I knew I'd never be the same God'll wonder, I'll know better that he will not forget your name. No he will not forget your name.

Take Off 02:35
Is this place good enough to end? Would it satisfy your closets full of cliffhangers? Don't take off that summer dress Don't take off that summer dress. Take off. Take my hand and thank it, shake it nice and soft Take off Gently close the door for me Is this the ending you'd prefer? Would it vitalize our lives or just make em easier? Don't take off that summer dress Don't take off that summer dress Take off. Take your dresser drawers of memories from my loft Take off Leave some by the door for me Am I the last one standing or did you just send me that message from the other fucking room? I hope you'll wear that summer dress I hope you'll wear that summer dress
