yeah ee yeah eh eh yeah ee yeah eh eh

yeah i know you’ve got to go
but i was looking forward to waking up with you over and over
tell me please how could it be
i was looking forward to the way you made me stop and breath
i’m down for the count i go another round
and it sure don’t look pretty
you had me in the corner with my hands out
and it sure was not pretty
this is annihilation this is annihilation
i’m down for the count but i’ll be getting up soon enough
cut me free free from everything
i’ll be the stillness in the wind
i’ll be the moon when its not lit
i’m down for the count i go another round
and it sure don’t look pretty
you had me in the corner with my hands out
and it sure was not pretty
i’m down for the count i go another round
and it sure don’t look pretty
this is annihilation this is annihilation
this is annihilation it could be a liberation
i’m down for the count but i’ll be getting up soon enough
yeah ee yeah eh eh yeah ee yeah eh eh

i just wanna write a song that’ll make you fall in love with me
don’t tell me there’s something wrong with wanting everything
i just wanna write a song that’ll make you fall in love with me
hey don’t be frightened of lightning
soon we’ll be out in the morning breeze
drifting through florescent hues as my heart beats way ahead of me
normally i’m really cool but you’re haunting all my dreams
up down so it goes on the trampoline
up down here we go you’re a mystery to me
i just wanna write a song that’ll make you fall in love with me
come into my grandpa’s yard and lay beneath the trees
mm mm mmm mm mmmmmmmmmmmm
i just wanna write a song that’ll make you fall in love with me
don’t tell me there’s something wrong with wanting everything
i just wanna write a song that’ll make you fall in love with me
come into my grandpa’s yard and feel the jersey breeze
breeze

No Reason
03:30
|

i wanna be happy for no reason
like the sun rising exactly
in every season
i wanna be free,
i wanna believe
that all of my dreams
keep waking up
and i wanna love
i wanna be touched
but softly at first
i wanna be happy for no reason
like the sun rising exactly
In every season
you’ve been here before
you opened the door
you walked straight on through
there’s nothing to do
and nothing is wrong
If nothing is right
we’re happy now and
yes we practice magic
[instrumental]
i wanna be free,

Copilot
04:03
|
|||
i don’t not want to let you go
i let you go i let you go
i guess there wasn’t any other way
i thought you were my copilot
how will i ever run this ship
without you by my side to navigate?
[whistle pre]
CHORUS:
thought you were my copilot na na na
my copilot na na na na na
now i know that you were just taking me for a ride
and that’s alright it was a beautiful ride
my loneliness is on your dime
painted lady of my life
drifting through the Appalachian plains
admit it you’re a butterfly
you always knew you’d leave my side
you were just waiting for your wings to change
[chorus]
BRIDGE:
a memory of sunlight in a Massachusetts square
as i watch the idea of our child vanish in the air
guess i was pretty clueless as you covered me with sand
was this always your plan?
[chorus]
just admit it you’re a butterfly
yeah just admit you’re a butterfly
you were just waiting for your wings to dry
yeah you were just waiting for your wings to dry

Picture of You
04:19
|
|||
the second you have it you lose it
you wanna forget it
i said you’re a friend of mine
you wanna forget it but you never let it
let it let it let it let it ride
it’s all automatic it’s all automatic
percentage organic mechanical
way we’re designed
the harder i try the harder the harder i try
the more that i wanna die
the picture of you in my head won’t go away
this is the end the end of me but
my body just stays
now that you’re gone the pictures keep coming
the pictures keep coming to show what i lack
the way that you walk the way that you talk the way that you look
i can’t have you back
the harder i try the harder the harder i try
the more that i wanna die
it’s all automatic it’s all automatic
what a shitty design
the picture of you in my head won’t go away
i try to let go while holding on it’s a difficult game
the picture of you in my head won’t go away
this is the end the end of me but
my body just stays
my body just stays
my body just stays

Funny Business
03:21
|
|||
how could it be that beauty makes me feel so bad?
you passed me by with a smiling face and it was as if my whole life never happened
and so i stroll the neighborhood with time to lose
i couldn’t let you disappear for a thousand years the stories that you hear here
but i won’t get ahead of myself
no not this time
we can take it slow and right
no funny business
i’ll need time to adjust those eyes
they’re very bright and i used to be a vampire
ooh ooh
and in a world of lovely pain and tragic veins
the drunken guru spoke your name and by a power great you came my way
but i won’t get ahead of myself no not this time
we can take it slow and right
no funny business
i’ll need time to adjust those eyes
they’re very bright and i used to be a vampire
stay right where you are so cool
no funny business
i’d like to be with you until
it feels like night is turning into daylight
ooh ooh ooh ooh

When I Awoke
04:27
|
|||
when i awoke i saw you through my glassy orbs
you looked like a shadow of the day before
your face contained a hungry wind and chance of rain
overnight a change in travel plans you’re on your way
when i awoke
when i awoke
when i awoke
when i awoke
you step into my stream about a thousand times a day
an empty measurement of empty weight
you threw a friendly chair across a friendly room
then you made me breakfast in the afternoon
when i awoke
when i awoke
when i awoke
when i awoke
fall down and get up i like this joke
in comes the sunlight and the ceiling broke
up up and up up away we go
higher higher
i never thought I’d say this but i don’t need you
every time i wake up i’m just looking through
cuz all the wars are waged inside of both of us
and even through these changes you i’ll always love
when i awoke
when i awoke
when i awoke
open Up your eyes
open up your eyes
open up your eyes
open up your eyes
open up your eyes
(when i awoke)
a dream i didn’t know i had has come true
i don’t think it’s good or bad just something to do
it’s more or less hilarious it’s more or less blue
it’s probably good for both of us and good for you
when I....

Guts to Fly
04:27
|
|||
i don’t pretend to be afraid of magic
i call my shaman all the time
even with the sadness on my lashes
summer’s always on my mind
i dig a deeper hole in the forest
a place to plant a healing rose
i whisper to your face and your fashion
this is what i feared the most
i remember when we were close
waiting for the dust to float
waiting for the dust to float
waiting for the dust to float
didda shoulda woulda coulda never again everything different
i wanna thoughta hadda been a better friend a better friend
didda shoulda woulda coulda never again everything different
oooh oooh oooh
do you remember we made love on a sand dune
in the puerto rico overcast?
i’d often speak to you through the moon
and i guess i’ll have to go back to that
i was flying with a dragon in a daydream
i liked the way her scales wind
the flame of my new friend
flickers nicely as it heats my inner apple pie
i’m glad we had the guts to fly
i’m glad we had the guts to fly
i’m glad we had the guts to fly
didda shoulda woulda coulda never again everything different
i wanna thoughta hadda been a better friend a better friend
i wanna thoughta hadda been a better friend a better friend
oooh oooh oooh
lala lala lala lala la laaaallalala
i’m glad we had the guts to fly
i’m glad we had the guts to fly
i’m glad we had the guts to fly
ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh
didda shoulda woulda coulda never again everything different
