River Valley Co-op

You were always so critical of everything I did
I was really gettin' sick of being talked to like a little kid
When we asked you to build both of the queen size beds
You just grunted and sulked, then you grabbed the tools - you always forced yourself to help

You were never that excited when I came home from a trip
I always greeted you like an excited little puppy, it was sick
We had dinner at your friends, we had beers and I made small talk with the girls
You said that's what you wanted - don't you see that we live in a wider world?

I went to a concert to distract me from my mind
And I sat with my sister with the light drained from eyes
All I wanted was to hold your hand, I wanted to go back to the plan
But do you remember Jade Bird? It could've been any band
Because I cried the whole damn night into my sweaty cotton mask
I asked you what you were feeling and I shouldn't have
Because you sunk into it, used like me like a punching bag

I guess I shouldn't have read your journal but I did
Yea that one that I bought you because you needed it
You wrote you were afraid of losing your partner and you did
I never listened when you said you were selfish

I went to a concert to distract me from my mind
And I sat with my sister with the light drained from eyes
All I wanted was to hold your hand, I wanted to go back to the plan
But do you remember Jade Bird? It could've been any band
Because I cried the whole damn night into my sweaty cotton mask
I asked you what you were feeling and I shouldn't have
Because you sunk into it, used like me like a punching bag

But you were always something to look forward to - I adored you

I tried to make myself quieter for you
I tried to get a little smaller for you
I wish I could have been shyer for you
I wish I could've been a liar for you
But the things that made me fall for you, boo
Are the things that made you small for me, too
My confidence with your solitude
We were never gonna sing the same tune
And if you hadn't been so mean to me soon
I would have never ever left, that's for true
If it had ended any better than that
It was never gonna end

I tried to make myself quieter for you
I tried to get a little smaller for you
I wish I could have been shyer for you
I wish I could've been a liar for you
But the things that made you fall for me, boo
Are the things that made you small for me, too
My confidence with your solitude
We were never gonna sing the same tune
And if you hadn't been so mean to me soon
I would have never ever left, that's for true
If it had ended any better than that
It was never gonna end

But do you remember Jade Bird? It could've been any band
Because I cried the whole damn night into my sweaty cotton mask
I asked you what you were feeling and I shouldn't have
Because you sunk into it, used like me like a punching bag

Punching Bag

Two weeks was yesterday
And my body has calmed down a bit
But my toothaches stomach pains come in and out
Here they are again

On 86th I've got a friend and he's sick
And we just got results that it's COVID
I'd give anything to have a diagnosis
Treat my symptoms, give me a fix

It doesn't feel better as it just gets further
I can't stop feeling like my heart's been murdered
Walking along all these fucking tall buildings
I look up and around, I'm in a breakup song city
There's a visible difference in our night skies
I convinced myself and everyone else you were a nice guy
I tried to build a life where I could see the stars at night
Spend the summers on a lake and the winters inside

Yea I know I'm getting way ahead of myself
It's only April and I'm on Christmas Eve
Planning my text to you in my head
It'll say "Tell the girls I said hey"

How many plans do I have to reimagine
How many times do you think this'll happen
Adirondacks and Montreal and Ireland in the fall
And I gotta sing that song I wrote about loving you

It doesn't feel better as it just gets further
I can't stop feeling like my heart's been murdered
Walking along all these fucking tall buildings
I look up and around, I'm in a breakup song city
There's a visible difference in our night skies
I convinced myself and everyone else you were a nice guy
I tried to build a life where I could see the stars at night
Spend the summers on a lake and the winters inside

I can still hear the tone of your voice
When you asked my mom what you should bring
It was a nice little gesture and it let us pretend
That you weren't a mess and you didn't offend
But there was no pain you caused me as great as this
It's like you had to break my whole nose just to fix it
I'm more than uncomfortable, I'm more than unsatisfied
I made you my everything
I made you my life

It doesn't feel better as it just gets further
I can't stop feeling like my heart's been murdered
Walking along all these fucking tall buildings
I look up and around, I'm in a breakup song city
There's a visible difference in our night skies
I convinced myself and everyone else you were a nice guy
I tried to build a life where I could see the stars at night
Spend the summers on a lake and the winters inside

Breakup Song City

The worst pain is not hearing I love you 
When you don’t say it back after 2 years in the tracks 

That big stain on the couch I keep meaning
To wash it bleach, can we set a date next week 

My heart breaks when you talk about attraction 
Can you keep that to yourself, anticipate my reaction 

But I can’t stay mad for more than 10 seconds 
I turn around to wipe my tears in your direction 

And I don’t know where this came from 
This is the life that you and I created 
And just 2 hours before it all started 
You called me to check in 
I was in the car and 
You asked me what I needed 
I told you nothing 
But ask me today 
I need some lovin’
You need some space 
I need some closeness 
We both need some help 
Let me make an appointment 

It’s a cyclical thing, but the waiting’s getting longer
The events are spread out, but the truth is getting harder

I’ve made a plan and I think that’s the problem 
I’m trying to fix what I can’t even follow

If it doesn’t go away, babe I’m here for the ride 
Let me sit next to you, let me be by your side 
And it’s not about the drinking this time
It’s the pain underneath, it’s the cold world outside 

And I don’t know where this came from 
This is the life that you and I created 
And just 2 hours before it all started 
You called me to check in 
I was in the car and 
You asked me what I needed 
I told you nothing 
But ask me today 
I need some lovin’
You need some space 
I need some closeness 
We both need some help 
Let me make an appointment 

And it’s hard not to feel like the victim this time 
Getting stepped on again, getting shoved out the side 
You’re my best friend, you know, only my lover part-time
And it hurts like hell, babe, it’s like you’ve canceled the phone line 

And then you walk in the door, and I'm ready for you to apologize
And then you fall on the couch, and I run to your side 
And I beg you to let me just hold you this time 
So I can sing you to sleep, wipe the tears from your eyes

And I don’t know where this came from 
This is the life that you and I created 
And just 2 hours before it all started 
You called me to check in 
I was in the car and 
You asked me what I needed 
I told you nothing 
But ask me today 
I need some lovin’
You need some space 
I need some closeness 
We both need some help 
Let me make an appointment

Appointment

First of all, let me say that I'm proud
It's been nice to see you work through your self doubt
And I'll try to sit back while you figure it out
Your happiness is the earth that I walk on now

It's been a change for me
My emotions have been finicky
I've been watching a little too much TV
I need to welcome in more creativity
I've been feeling lately like I can't fend for myself
Seeking your validation, it's not good for my health
So I'm turning inside and I'm pulling it out
It will go back to normal once we find our better selves

And I think we're past the honeymoon days
We need to find our rhythm, not get lost in the waves
You told me this love won't always be good
I just need to know that it can be great
Things will be different than they were on our first date
Things will be different than they were on our first date

I put our love into phases in my head
The first in Brooklyn in a share house after 2am
Your feet hangin' off my full size bed
I thought I had figured you out until we played house
Then I went under your skin
I saw your demons and your clouds

This city's started to fade for me
I'm noticing the grime where I used to see beautiful lights
It's time to get away
Would you take that leap of faith?
I promise I will hold your heart safe

And I think we're past the honeymoon days
We need to find our rhythm, not get lost in the waves
You told me this love won't always be good
I just need to know that it can be great
Things will be different than they were on our first date
Things will be different than they were on our first date

First Date

I thought our love meant that I was closer
To the life that I truly wanted
Now that it's really finally over
I can tell it was holding me hostage

I moved back to Brooklyn to find someone older
Someone who won't leave me so exhausted

I moved back to find someone else I could leave with
'Cause I want the house and the yard you were teasing

And you let me down
But that's okay 'cause we were gonna drown
And I'll pack my things
'Cause this ain't how it always has to be

A few weeks have passed I can see that you're hurting
Even if it's not the same kind of burning
I needed to know that it wasn't all rainbows
This meeting is useful, even though it's painful

I wish you would let it all out like you used to
I wish you would cry because tears can be useful
You hid under a blanket for more than that just that night
It was always flight, you had no fight
You hid from your feelings, while I dimmed the lights

And you let me down
It wasn't the other way around
It's not like it was black and white
It might never satisfy
All of my questions
And all that left was there
And I know you said the final words
It'll be your heart that hurts one day
'Cause I walked away

I was playing pretend
I was fucking upset
And I combed it all over when talking with friends
I bought tickets and flights
To keep the fantasy alive
And in the end you were only along for the ride

And you let me down
But that's ok 'cause we were gonna drown
And I packed my things
For two hours I forgot to breathe

It's not like it was black and white
It might never satisfy
All of my questions
And all that left was there
And I know you said the final words
But it'll be your heart that hurts
One day, 'cause I walked away
You wouldn't meet me halfway
You wouldn't meet me halfway
You wouldn't meet me halfway

Halfway

Somewhere between the deli meat
And the bottled drinks, I found you
You were excited for the weekend
With your family, it was pretty soon to meet them

And I was so nervous 'cause you were still drunk
But I was was looking forward to you
'Cause you were gonna sober up and show me love
The way that I allowed you to

When I think back to the River Valley Co-op
I don't want to go back anymore
When I think back to the River Valley Co-op
What a great fuckin' grocery store

And I could have been a little more sensitive
Of the problem that I saw in you
Or should I have turned around
Could have locked you out
When you cried in the car like a kid

Instead I just held your hand
'Cause I wanted a man
'Cause you're the type to make me believe
That I could be your savior
But I don't blame her
For giving up on you so completely

When I think back to the River Valley Co-op
I don't want to go back anymore
When I think back to the River Valley Co-op
What a great fuckin' grocery store
But I see you walkin' out
Your head hanging down
You left me waiting in line with the cart
And I look toward the parking lot
I thought you might run off
I got stuck there when I almost lost you

I couldn't tell you not to fall
I don't think that you knew your cause
You had a place in my heart
There's another way you could call
Another way you could stall
But what happens when the time comes

I don't want you to feel
That your burden should keep
You away from what you need
I had my reason to love
The reason I trust
Is to give you a chance
I don't believe in luck

Are you down for the ride
This will last more than a night
More than a night
This could be the ride of your life
We could ebb and flow with the tide
Flow with the tide
(2x)

Take my changes
Rearrange them
I don't fit in
But I'm living

As the time flows by 잊혀지는것
As the time flows by 지나가는것
As the time flows by 무뎌지는것
그와중에도 가슴속을 깊이 후벼 파는것
You must follow that feeling's saying
오늘 느낀 이 좆 같은 느낌을 왠지 매일
간직하며 살고싶다는 생각이 들때 just catch it
Never let it go we must carry on 영원히

Are you down for the ride
This will last more than a night
More than a night
This could be the ride of your life
We could ebb and flow with the tide
Flow with the tide
(2x)

Be Thankful For What You Got (William De Vaughn Cover)

Hang me, oh hand me
I'll be dead and gone
Hang me, oh hang me
I'll be dead and gone
Wouldn't mind the hanging
But the layin' in a grave so long, poor boy
I been all around this world

I been all 'round cape Gigardeau
Parts of Arkansas
All around cape Giradeau
Parts of Arkansas
Got so god damn hungry
I could hide behind a straw, poor boy
I been all around this world

Went up on a mountain
There i made my stand
Went up on a mountain
There i made my stand
Rifle on my shoulder
And a dagger in my hand, poor boy
I been all around this world

So hang me, oh hang me
I'll be dead and gone
Hang me, oh hang me
And i'll be dead and gone
I wouldn't mind the hanging
But the layin' in a grave so long, poor boy
I been all around this world

Put the rope around my neck
And hung me up so high
Put the rope around my neck
Hung me up so high
Last words i heard 'em say
Won't be long now for you die, poor boy
I been all around this world

So hang me, oh hang men 
I'll be dead and gone
Hang me, oh hang me
I'll be dead and gone
I wouldn't mind the hanging
But the layin' in a grave, poor boy
I been all around this world

Hang Me, Oh Hang Me (Cover)
