Lonestardom 01:06
My love is the bird whose song is broken It’s been such a long time The moon on the river, it must be lonesome There for such a long time Such a long time Such a long time

I am your last call drink Recurring dreams, back to the Satellite I know your x-ray vision must see I have no spine But I’m a different kind of lost Tossed up by the tears of an empty sea I guess I never learn that nothing’s really what it seems ‘Cause I’ve been trying to give you all of the space But it feels like there’s ten galaxies between us (us) You pull me close with your eyes and some Brave face for an alibi as if I’ll never reach the other side Oh, you had me Head in the valley of your dress Philosophy from the hips I missed the song you put on the jukebox ‘Cause I’ve been trying to give you all of the space But it feels like there’s ten galaxies between us (us) I wish that I knew how to make you happy ‘Cause it’s been such a long time I wish that I knew how to make you happy ‘Cause it’s been a such a long time

Reset 04:58
The fortune cookie reads the truth you wanna see But that don’t do me any good When you won’t answer me I just wish I knew how to break through and Cut the silence into These days it’s like I’m dreaming Still so close, but so far away Baby I’m drowning in the feeling And it hurts when you say, say you need space But don’t tell me it’s too late No need to shut it down Cause we just need a hard reset Don’t tell me it’s too late You know we’re in too deep and I’m not coming up for air Either way it’s over Either way it’s over As you figure-eight your finger on the bed I think time has stopped Maybe it’s in my head How do I draw the line between confidence and pride Seems I’m losing on both sides I must be dreaming Still so close, but so far away Baby I’m drowning in the feeling And it hurts when you say, say you need space But don’t tell me it’s too late No need to shut it down Cause we just need a hard reset Don’t tell me it’s too late You know we’re in too deep and I’m not coming up for air Either way it’s over Either way (ah-ah-ah) (ah-ah-ah) (ah-ah-ah)

I don't believe in crystal balls I don't count on lucky stars There's no science to support Why you fell so out of love Trying to understand your pyramid of needs Call me a cynic, baby, if you please But I really thought that you could you prove me wrong I'm looking for a silver lining Lost the only star to guide me I'm looking for a silver lining Tired of blue Every night when the sun goes down I am the king of this lonely town And no distraction is enough I'm fucking over Hollywood Where every thought is getting dark All I have left is a question mark You said we felt like a dream But it seemed pretty real to me I'm looking for a silver lining Lost the only star to guide me I'm looking for a silver lining Tired of blue

Always 03:06
Show me love can grip you softly As it eats you on the bed, but that doesn’t change anything I’ve seen one too many sunsets All the memories I wish would leave are the ones that stay Always Always Always Always, you I’ve made myself become a stranger Do you ever think about the person I used to be? People change and tell you later And the burning’s like some empty fire you can’t control Always Always Always Always, you

I’d rather be stoned than stray I’d rather be stray than in love ‘Cause love is the crutch and the broken leg A sober hell when it walks away I’d rather be drunk than damaged I’d rather my choice than yours So cheers to the fear and the center stage ‘Cause after the encore the high begins to fade And I know all the rules I don’t have one good excuse Yours and mine in the rouge Here’s to the river of youth Say someone could break you picking The hurt locker there in your chest But God is a cruel kid laughing While the fool’s smoking his cigarette ‘Cause even on Salvation Mountain The closest to heaven you can get It’s tough to find grace in this world To last any longer than a body could stand to give And you know all the rules You don’t have one good excuse Yours and mine in the rouge Here’s to the river of youth Keep me here under your moon Bare in a light that consumes Lost but I will be home soon Here’s to the river of youth Here’s to the river of youth

Pet Names 04:32
Good times, going fast Never can forever last It doesn’t have to be so sad It doesn’t have to be But nothing’s really making sense Damn, I need a cigarette So the knife feels like hyperbole And I want someone just for a little while I want someone just for a little while Nothing more Nothing more Nothing more Nothing more New lust, give me faith I only want a pet name if Both your hands are on my wrists I don’t need to romanticize I need your lips to paralyze And suck me out of my misery And I want someone just for a little while I want someone just for a little while Nothing more Nothing more Nothing more Nothing more (La, la, la, la, la)

You can call it what it is Or you can call it Love is blind and we persist Don’t say you’re sorry But you should know how that hurts That hurts more And I should go but your eyes look torn When you said you were done I threw my ego on the floor And all the blood rushed to my face Because I’ve never been so destroyed So destroyed I’d be lying if I said I never meant it Know my feet they tend to drag I said I’m sorry But you should know That I’m not I’m not making excuses Don’t you cry ‘cause it’s over now When you said you were done I threw my ego on the floor And all the blood rushed to my face Because I’ve never been so destroyed And now I won’t take the 101 I’m never going back to Hollywood And every habit’s gonna break me None of my vices doing what they should No good, no good, no good You can call it what it is Or you can call it

Same Moon 02:29
If you’re out tonight We’re staring at the same moon In the velvet sky We’re lonely with the same moon We’re lonely with the same moon

Weird World 05:51
Birthday on the beach What I’d give to have a reckless heart burn free Don’t question everything But red drops of light flicker on my sea Maybe I just can’t cut up my love To fit around you How you want it, how you want it Maybe time isn’t on anyone’s side But I’m not impartial To belonging, belonging ‘Cause it’s a weird world And it’s weirder without you Yeah it’s a weird world And it’s weirder without you LA got me drunk No anchor I could trust to hold me down Baby’s on the run That bluebird on your back is singing now Maybe I, I can’t cut up my love To fit around you How you want it, how you want it Maybe time isn’t on anyone’s side But I’m not impartial To belonging, to belonging ‘Cause it’s a weird world And it’s weirder without you Yeah it’s a weird world And it’s weirder without you (Without you) (It’s a weird world) (Without you) (It’s a weird world) Oh, it’s a weird world
