Never walked so far just to see the end of my street
Never saw so much through the eyes of no one I'll meet
I'm no good at sifting through the fog
I like it there too much, I tend to freeze
I think for just one moment I'll do whatever I please 

Everything is gonna be okay

Boy I tell you deprecation is my favorite style
Give me an inch towards the crazy and I'll give you a mile
I've been mining meaning from this mess
My thoughts are tired, they need a rest
I'm done with thinking time to give my big body a test

Everything is gonna be okay

Ciao

Oh you're such a middle child
Always tryna keep the room calm
But inside you're a hail storm

I can't imagine how it feels
Going back home to your father
Saying "Dad I'm still your daughter"
But he can't meet your gaze

So you leave in the dead of night
With a heavy dose of insight
Well you look perfect in the diner light
You look perfect in the diner light 

You've been heavy since a child
Always carrying their feelings
No space for you anymore

They'll never see you as you are
They need the pain to just be over
He says "you look just like your mother"
He just can't let her go

So you leave in the dead of night
We get hungry off the turnpike
Well you look perfect in the diner light
I think you're perfect in the diner light

Diner

There's something beautiful about the way you talk to me, I see
No pretty picture gonna capture what it means to me
I'm tired of making sense everything is fucking weird
But there was nothing I could do to make you stay and see

If I get much higher will you notice? Honey?

It's gotta be you and me
This shit is hard enough just by myself, you see
Cuz I know I'm no saint I'm just a fool, honey
But I will love you with all I have baby
It's gotta be you and me
This shit is hard enough just by myself, you see
Cuz I know I'm no saint I'm just a fool, honey
But I will love you with all I have baby

I wish that I had done it differently you best believe
But there's a darker voice inside my head that doesn't leave:

If I get much higher will you notice
If I get much wider will you see me
If I get much louder will you hear this, honey?
Oh how I'd give it all to show you what I feel
There's nothing bout this love that's real


It's gotta be you and me
This shit is hard enough just by myself, you see
Cuz I know I'm no saint I'm just a fool, honey
But I will love you with all I have baby
It's gotta be you and me
This shit is hard enough just by myself, you see
Cuz I know I'm no saint I'm just a fool, honey
But I will love you with all I have baby

Honey

I went without a fuss in the dead of night
In the back of your sedan like a little child
You drove me all the way to the county line
Said "don't be a stranger, goodbye"
(I wonder) What took you so long to see
I don't believe, I don't believe a word that you say
It's better off this way

Cuz I don't know the pleasure without the pain
Your body glistening off the window pane
Your voice inside my ear whispering my name
I'm here to stay
Honey I'll never let you go just stay a while
Your fingers through my hair go a thousand miles
I don't mean to stare I just know that this is it for a while

For a long day I was by myself
Your headlights turn to teeth in the devil's mouth
Oh I could spend eternity gazing out
Look for myself on the horizon
I wonder what took you so long to see
I'm incomplete, I'm not a real fucking adult yet
I'm trying though

Cuz I don't know the pleasure without the pain
Your body glistening off the window pane
Your voice inside my ear whispering my name
I'm here to stay
Honey I'll never let you go just stay a while
Your fingers through my hair go a thousand miles
I don't mean to stare I just know that this is it for a while

Glistener

I don’t wanna start a problem but I feel I have to say
I know you well enough to see you need to get away
And I know that it’s good for you, you always needed more
But secretly I’m sad because, you’re farther than before

If you choose to go, I know that I can’t stop you
But if you go just know I’ll miss you

We talk to each other like we’re still kids, like we’re living life onstage
But something bout the way we mess around betrays our age
Cuz my hands I see the veins that pump my father’s blood
At what point did the good old days stop hitting like they should?

If you choose to go, I know that I can’t stop you
But if you go just know I’ll miss you

I am selfish though, I wish that I could stop you
I wonder who I’ll be without you, I’ll miss you

I'll Miss You

Phoenix made the stems to this song public on Wednesday. They're one of my favorite bands and I decided to give this a go.

Lyrics: 

Stiff drink while she waits alone, couldn’t sit sober
He walks home with blood on his hands, a little bit older
And all those people talking, they’re talking bout you
And all those people watching, they think they know you

Down

All the neighbors walking by, peeking through your window
“Heard the kid who lives here’s no good, thats cause daddy is a John Doe”
And all those people talking, they’re talking bout you
And all those people watching, they think they know you

Down

Late night and my son’s away, what is he feeling?
I just hope that he finds his way and we can start healing

Won’t somebody help me find another cold shoulder
I wanna tell you what I’m thinking but you’re never coming over
Know you made me think that I could never love
Maybe there’s a part of me that I am still in search of

Tell me that its made up
Tell me that its all in my head
Tell me that I’m paranoid
Tell me not to listen to friends
Baby convince me that I was wrong the whole way
When people ask you just tell em that your ex was crazy
Tell em that your ex was crazy

Staring out the window in the backseat of my own car
Been seeking oneness with the world but now the world is feeling so far
Know you made me think that I could never grow
Rather be alone than be in love and going hollow

Tell me that its made up
Tell me that its all in my head
Tell me that I’m paranoid
Tell me not to listen to friends
Baby convince me that I was wrong the whole way
When people ask you just tell em that your ex was crazy
Tell em that your ex was crazy

Once I had a dream that you and me we shared a daughter
But all I had to give her was  the worst that I can offer
I don’t want some kid to live their life like me
Gonna build a better version of myself until I’m worthy

Lyrics:

I’m in limbo with you
Nothing scares us more than surprise
I can see this whole world
In the corners of your green eyes
I don’t remember what I dream
It feels so hazy inside my mind
You can have dreams for me
Then come back and share what you find

We’re in limbo

I remember two days
When it felt like I was in control
You became my left leg
And I became your right temple 
There is strength in letting go
There is love inside a white lie
I’m in Limbo with you
And I’m gonna be for a while 

We’re in limbo
I breathe in and you breathe out some rebis we’ve become
Be their magnum opus singing silver through the sun
Through the sun

Never enough, 

Stretch an hour into years
Dress a moment like a matinee
I’m in Limbo with you
Is it a problem that I want to stay

I breathe in and you breathe out some rebis we’ve become
Be their magnum opus singing silver through the sun
Through the sun

Limbo

Lyrics: 

One minute I am with you
Another and I’m far away
My eyes are drifting
The’yre looking for a reason I should stay

Its not enough
(No one's gonna need you)
Not enough
(No one’s gonna love you)
Not enough
(You know I’m gonna miss you too)

But I wanna go dancing
Try to pretend I’m living
Hard as I can
It’s my time
Aint gonna live on your dime
I’ll misbehave 
I’m dancing
Not gonna ask permission
I’ll take the blame
Its my time
Find me again at midnight 

It started with a whimper
How did it all become so loud?
I’m feeling pressure
And I dont know a thing about myself now

Its not enough
(No ones gonna save you)
Not enough
(No ones gonna change you)
Not enough
(You know I’m gonna miss you too)

But I wanna go dancing
Try to pretend I’m living
Hard as I can
It’s my time
Aint gonna live on your dime
I’ll misbehave 
I’m dancing
Not gonna ask permission
I’ll take the blame
Its my time
Find me again at midnight 
I won’t be the same

Lyrics: 

I said I don’t deserve you
She said you deserve the world
It’s crazy just how quickly
Something great can take a turn
Those poems which comprise you
I remember word for word
Just never thought I’d find you
And baby you deserve the world

She’s living like she’s dying
The beast in me is stirred
No sense is left in trying
your magic has been served

She said I don’t deserve you
An ocean starts to swirl
You said I don’t deserve you
Baby you deserve the world 

My memories of those moments
Are kinder than you were
Well I’m choosing to remember
The beauty in your words

You said I don’t deserve you
And leave without a word
You said you could do better 
Baby you deserve the world

You Deserve The World

I hate to say, been cookin on some bad dreams
Try not to kill the vibe, please
What's wrong with me? 
Forgetting why to focus
Just floating on the surface

I'm just in the corner
Thinking bout some stupid shit
Like death and worth
And I don't wanna think anymore
Listening to the night is enough

Spend the time
You're not fooling me, I'm not fooling you
Hypnotized, now I'm living life
But what's living life if I'm living it without you

I guess we thought we knew what we were doing
But clearly we know nothing
And here I am, I'm looking for the real thing
My lonely little changeling

I miss the hypnosis of never being one to care
Bout death and worth 
And I don't wanna think anymore
Listening to the night is enough

Spend the time
You're not fooling me, I'm not fooling you
Hypnotized, now I'm living life
But what's living life if I'm living it without you

________________________________________________________________________

I couldn't find myself last night 
And I know where I'd be
But today I'm feeling so damn light 
And I'm ready to be seen

I'm searching for abandon
Where there's nothing left to breathe 
Like the fauna all around this town 
Is that so hard to believe?

I need to forget everything I know about myself, not me 
If you think you're losing focus
If you're still against this well, sorry!

Admitting that I crave control 
Can make me feel so weak 
So find me at abandon, love 
Think we're ready to be seen

I'm gonna forget everything I know about myself, not me 
If you think you're losing focus,
If you're still against me well, sorry!

Never try and look around
Cause everybody hates this town
It’s everything you want to be
But nothing that you want to see

It’s easier to turn away
Than live another useless day
I’m nothing that I wanna be
Nothing that I wanna

I don’t wanna fight with you anymore
I don’t wanna fight with you anymore
I’d rather pretend that it’s all my fault
Live off of the guilt till I can’t anymore
Need some kind of friend and I’m running alone
Need some kind of friend and I’m coming undone
I’m sorry that I buckled underneath your pain
Just another good person crying on the train

Loneliness is like a friend
Who we pretend we’re better than
There’s nowhere that I wanna be
There’s no-one that I wanna see

The law is written into stone
No matter what we live alone
When strangers keep your company
Might as well enjoy it

I don’t wanna fight with you anymore
I don’t wanna fight with you anymore
I’d rather pretend that it’s all my fault
Live off of the guilt till I can’t anymore
Need some kind of friend and I’m running alone
Need some kind of friend and I’m coming undone
I’m sorry that I buckled underneath your pain
Just another good person crying on the train

I think I hate you cause I wanna be just like you

I don’t wanna fight with you anymore
It’s sweeter with nothing

Another Good Person

Stay with me
I will rise where you fall
Trembling
If you're my real friend
Then don't you wanna wait to come over?

Let me breathe
Just before we submerge
Eulogy
For the good life
So don't you wanna wait to come over?

Every part of me is overthrown
What I'd do just to prove or say
Don't tell me what you need I already know
What I'd do, what I'd do or say
Find me a horizon worth a look
What I do, what I do or say
Addictive indecision is all I know

So why you gotta wait to come over?
Why you gotta wait to come over here?
Stay with me
I will rise where you fall
Eulogy
For the good life

Lyrics:

one look baby
one look will tell you the truth
cuz we’ve been messing up lately
how much we willing to lose?

if i don’t listen to my old man
am i a person at all?
you see i’ve only got the one life
maybe i should live in the stars

we don’t belong here anymore

what are we thinking?
what are we trying to prove?
i don’t know if i can fix this
there’s too much money to lose

you tryna fuck a whole planet
maybe the problem is you
i think i’m ready for the new world
let’s see if we ruin that too

it’s all gone see you in the new world
it’s all gone see you in the new world

we don’t belong here anymore
