Elephant In The Room

Everything used to feel so right but
Lately I don't know
I don't wanna hear your condescension
I just wanna feel your love affection, baby
Nobody wants to mention the elephant in the room

Another Night
03:50
|
|||
|
I've got this feeling now
That everything's the same
Another night with one foot out the door
You hear the sound of those familiar polyphonic chords
No need to say his name
You'll hear his shaking breath
And before he speaks you know just what he'll say
"Can we do this some other day"
But he don't even know what he wants to do
But he'll just drink alone 'till it all falls through
You need a better reason, yeah you said it too
But I just kinda hope that you find one too
But I don't know which way to go
Should I head west or stay back home
This obsessions killing me
Wasted words and faded dreams
She just can't do this now
She won't bring nobody down
The party moves her problems to the shelf
She'll never tell, behind her smile, she hides a darker self
Her grip is giving out
She knows that she can't stay
Before she leaves she'll lie and she'll say
I can do this for one more day
But she don't even know what she wants to do
But when she drinks alone, yeah it all falls through
You need a better reason, yeah we said it too
But I just kinda hope that you find one too
But I don't know which way to go
Should I head west or stay back home
This obsessions killing me
Wasted words and faded dreams
I'm screaming out, just to find that reason
It's breaking down, what was my reason to stay
With it all laid out now, not sure the pieces fit
I tried to call you but I'm sure you're not ready for it
But I don't know which way to go
Should I head west or stay back home
This obsessions killing me
Wasted words and faded dreams
They've got to leave right now
Don't want to make them wait
Another night with one foot out the door
You'll hear the sound
And know that they've been through it all before

Lust
02:43

Can you share with me just a little bit of freedom?
If it's gonna be here anyway
Another day's gonna be okay
Or at least it seems that way
But every once in a while
I cry myself to sleep at night
When I reminisce of the tears in your eyes
When you told me a little bit's too much
Wrap your fingers around my tongue
Pull the air from my lungs
Paint a picture of what we'll become
Corduroys and pretty girls
Khaki framed bouncing curls
Sadistic temptations of lust
Innocence and incense bearers
But you don't sell sex, no, you pawn power
The definition of dopamine, I'll shoot you by the hour
So, cut me a line of your rust before we fade to dust
You told me a little bit too much
Wrap your fingers around my tongue
Pull the air from my lungs
Paint a picture of what we'll become
And all I try is to ask for one reason why
This merry-go-round never ends
Why oh why? Why oh why can I not comprehend?
This addiction will surely be my end
You told me a little bit too much
Wrap your fingers around my tongue
Pull the air from my lungs
Paint a picture of what we'll become

When I Get It
04:10

I guess you're moving on
Cause I couldn't get around to it
I take it it's my fault
Tried it out by my timing just didn't fit
And when I get it, I'm gonna feel it out
If you know it, why don't you tell me how
I'm tired of waiting come on and say it now
Or better yet just show me what you're talking 'bout
No other way in this race
And I couldn't cut it
I'm always falling behind
I just move to slow
Diving in is too much, and I don't mind
I don't even care at all
But If I said these things
I don't want to make you go
But I don't want to miss my chance
So I'll dive in next time
Gotta pick up my pace
Try and move but my feet stay grounded
I'm stuck in place
I know better but I liked how it sounded
And when I get it, I'm gonna feel it out
If you know it, why don't you tell me how
I'm tired of waiting come on and say it now
Or better yet just show me what you're talking bout
No other way in this race
And I couldn't cut it
I'm always falling behind
I just move to slow
Diving in is too much, and I don't mind
I don't even care at all
But if I said these things
I don't want to make you go
But I don't want to miss my chance
So I'll dive in next time
And I'm diving in
Just to take in slow
I'm falling behind
I just move to slow
Diving in is too much, and I don't mind
I don't even care at all
But if I said these things
I don't want to make you go
But I don't want to miss my chance
So I'll dive in next time

Close To You
02:57

It's a dark dawn rising
And there ain't no sympathizing
For the outside world of self
It's a long way back to hell
And it's a new night coming
And this heat leaves room for nothing
While the darkness weaves its spell
It's a long way back to tell
Don't you like me too? And can't the reasons wait?
I want to be close to you, cuz it's getting late
Don't you like me too? And can't the reasons wait?
I want to be close to you
Backseat drivin', summer slidin'
Window hangin', with the sun on your lips
And I love summer, cuz people are hotter
In the heat of the moment waiting for this
Don't you like me too? And can't the reasons wait?
I want to be close to you, cuz it's getting late
Don't you like me too? And can't the reasons wait?
I want to be close to you
Don't you like me too? And can't the reasons wait?
I want to be close to you, cuz it's getting late
Don't you like me too? And can't the reasons wait?
I want to be close to you
Don't you like me too? And can't the reasons wait?
I want to be close to you, cuz it's getting late
Don't you like me too? And can't the reasons wait?
I want to be close to you
I want to be close to you
I want to be close
I want to be close to you

90 Somethings
05:28
|

Remember its my birthday, and please don't be late
You yelled across the street to me back in '98
I still have memories of that party to this day
Things were simpler then, you'd yell and it's a date
90 Somethings that we care about, and I don't mind
You could be one too if you've got the time
People always rushing just to feel the thrill
But the winds always the coldest at the top of the hill
I always knew you were a part of the reason for this
You didn't say you were, you just seemed kinda pissed
Holding hands in your '92 Chevette
I remember thinking that this probably ain't done yet
90 Somethings that we care about, and I don't mind
You could be one too if you've got the time
People always rushing just to feel the thrill
But the winds always the coldest at the top of the hill
Your grandma's stare used to surprise us all
She had the wisest remarks with the weight of the world
She's seen it all, and with her is an everlasting love
For things new and old, always a story to be told
90 Somethings that we care about, and I don't mind
You could be one too if you've got the time
People always rushing just to feel the thrill
But the winds always the coldest at the top of the hill
Do you remember the season, the places, the feelings
When you sat next to me on that Saturday
Going home to where you left me with that hill stuck in the middle
So scared, of what the silence might say
And I heard the strong remark of wind like winter closes in
A time capsule to carry us away
90 Somethings that we care about, and I don't mind
You could be one too if you've got the time
People always rushing just to feel the thrill
But the winds always the coldest at the top of the hill

Thru The Nite

Long blonde hair, ripped skinny jeans
And oh I swear, girl what you do to me
You make me so weak in the knees
Saturday evening
Waiting up for you to get in
Did no one tell you
This is how it would be?
Why don't you take the night off
And spend it with me?
Raindrops, on your windscreen
Remind me of the tears in your eyes, love
But I can't bear to see you like this; like this
And you don't have to go yet
The night is still young
We've got forever
So come on babe
Put your drink down
Let's have fun
Joy rides in your daddy's cadillac
But too bad we are never coming back
Did no one tell you
This is how it would be?
Why don't you take the night off
And spend it with me?
Raindrops on your windscreen
Remind me of the tears in your eyes, love
But I can't bear to see you like this; like this
And you don't have to go yet
The night is still young
We've got forever
So come on babe, put your drink down
Oh come on babe, put your drink down
Let's have fun

Look who it is
Look who decided to mosey back into my heart
I see what your up to now
I don't know why
But you can't find the time
I can't believe in something
I can't call mine
Don't roll those pretty little eyes at me
I know you'll be here after the show, oh no
But I'll never see you again
You look me in the eyes
As you tell me your goodbyes
And I can't say anything
Why can't I say anything
I don't know why
But you can't find the time
I can't believe in something
I can't call mine
I don't know why
But you can't find the time
I can't believe in someone
I can't call mine
I'll never see you again
I'll never see you again
I'll never see you again
I'll never see you again
I'll never see you again
I'll never see you again
I'll never see you again
I'll never see you again
