Movies 03:21
I was making little pictures in the fog on the window And you were saying how the wind blows from the edge of your seat And I was spinning out a record that would always skip on track five But it never even slowed down on the night that he died I was walking in the forest and I was making up a chorus How do I know how to do this? Remember everything green And I was making little movies and you were saying “wow, they move me” And then my heart started pounding like when I wanna be seen I just wanna be, oh I just wanna be I was floating in the garden and it wasn’t even hard then But I’ve only told a few friends, I know it’s hard to believe And I was facing little sculptures in a gallery in Stockholm Felt it down into my fingers, they’ve got a body like me They’ve got a body like, oh they’ve got a body like me What a glow on what you’ll never know And even when you grow I always try to find what’s in my glistening eyes They help me realize there’s so much more Oh I never wanted to know (x12)

Off-Season 03:24
Don’t give a reason I don’t need advice, oh it’s just in the way In the off-season Now that you’re here you’re determined to stay She goes coast to coast riding it out Through the window I remember the sound We were figuring we’d figure it out By now What are you feeling? Can you describe it and will it make sense? And it was so freezing Kicking the snow just to know she exists She goes coast to coast riding it out Through the window I remember the sound We were figuring we’d figure it out By now, by now Tell you things I think you’d never believe She stands face to face ready to leave Elsewhere takes her where she wanted to be Right now

Henderson A 03:20
Hang out for the first time I think you’re someone and I never lie The way that you caught my eye Took me outside and looked at the sky We go out just to end up close in a crowd I never knew you but I’d seen you around Hit song, well it’s about time Everyone’s lonely and everyone’s fine Smoking, standing outside We think we’re lucky and we’ve got that right We go out just to end up close in a crowd I never knew you but I’d seen you around Porch light, end of the night Whatever happened to making the time? I recollected half a second But every hour brushes past I don’t believe in feeling nothing I know you think I’m so unkind We go out just to end up close in a crowd I never knew you but I’d seen you around Porch light, end of the night Whatever happened to making the time?

It was getting late but we still stayed Didn’t make a difference anyway When it was time to leave I took the keys Yeah, I’m good to drive carefully

Tile Floor 04:03
The pressure’s on to notice something We always talk about the ghosts I am still convinced that nothing is what I’ll always want the most I get all caught up in the same things I get all caught up in the things that move So you try to make it real while I try to feel new But we’ll never get there, we’re always arriving The end of the line turns around You will still recognize every surface in sight From the ones that remain to be found And they will never be found You go spinning in circles like you did before You got all that you came for but you needed more You go spinning in circles on the tile floor You got all that you came for but you needed more (x3) You go spinning in circles like you did before (And it takes you back, oh it takes you back) You got all that you came for but you needed more You go spinning in circles on the tile floor You got all that you came for but you needed more You go spinning in circles like you did before (And it takes you back, oh it takes you back) You got all that you came for but you needed more You go spinning in circles on the tile floor (And it takes you back, oh it takes you back) You got all that you came for but you needed more (x5)

Lately I’ve been starting to imagine something more All I want is someone leaning on my door There’s no further reason to pretend like I’m unmoved We are going somewhere, I’ve got nothing left to prove I’ve got nothing left to prove Coffee in the kitchen, all my books are on the shelf It’s a sunny morning, it’s not complicated now You are getting older, it will be like this for years Even in October, you’ll be getting over fears Take me to the biggest ocean and say something about my salty eyes I guess this is pure devotion Can you anticipate surprise? I’ve been holding out for things that I don’t even know I’ve been getting used to spending so much alone If you ask a question, it will fall flat on the floor It’s a new dimension and you can always ask for more Take me to the biggest ocean and say something about my salty eyes I guess this is pure devotion Can you anticipate surprise? I wanna be all you’re after and I wanna be perfectly alive I got to the biggest ocean and I shout out Why oh why oh why? (x9)

Sink Drain 03:39
I was patient, could have thrown it all away I don’t hate this, there’s just nothing left to say You were folding up my time, you were always on my mind In the morning and in the middle of the night If you don’t want me to say what I’ve been wanting to say Then just don’t give me a reason and don’t give me my way And it’s been getting the best of me, what do you want from me? Is this what you want from me? Should I stay away? You’ve been acting in an unusual way But it’s so thrilling going nowhere just the same And everyone I ever knew knew everything I heard from you In the morning and in the middle of the night If you don’t want me to say what I’ve been wanting to say Then just don’t give me a reason and don’t give me my way And it’s been getting the best of me, what do you want from me? Is this what you want from me? Should I stay away? Should I stay away? And I’ve been having the same dreams I know what they all mean You seem so sweet So take me out to a sink drain Everywhere else is just more of the same

Outline everything in sight It took time but that’s alright You’ve got everything in life In a room in the right light In a room in the right light In the kitchen there they are Telling jokes and falling hard And when the party’s in the hall You’re upstairs and hear it all We knew more about the shape that held us silent just to say You’ve been right here all along You spoke sitting in the light And you knew you were right ’Cause you’ve got everything in life In a room in the right light In a room right light In the kitchen there they are Telling jokes and falling hard And when the party’s in the hall You’re upstairs and hear it all We knew more about the shape that held us silent just to say You’ve been right here all along In several years The moment clears A simple sign Of what you’ve always hoped to find And you hold it near The way that you’re in A shimmer so thin You wait for the day It always gets away To be perfect again In the kitchen there they are Telling jokes and falling hard And when the party’s in the hall You’re upstairs and hear it all We knew more about the shape that held us silent just to say You’ve been right here all along

There’s a garden on the roof There’s a week I’m free in June There’s a place we always we go When we’re home There is no one on the road Can you play Boys on the Radio? I like to hear it when I drive Late at night Like a flower in the dark Always there when we are not We are leaning on the edge Of what we’ve got I am always coming back Wonder what you think of that I hear a buzzing in the sky It terrifies Like a flower in the dark Always there when we are not We are leaning on the edge Of what we’ve got Like a flower in the dark Always there when we are not We are leaning on the edge Of what could end But we never stop
