Something Real

Before You Go, Stay

I switched from gin on the rocks 
To coconut water, don’t you forget
Don’t you forget 
that I’m somebody’s daughter 
I wish you wouldn’t look at me 
like that 

Are these the one-bedroom apartment blues?
or is it just privilege?
1960 seems so far away
But that’s just not how it is 

Me and you
I’m so sick of people like you

Chorus:
I ain’t tryna gas you, honey 
(I don’t do that anymore)
And I wish I could find it funny
(Don’t know what I do it for)

You tell me how you miss that 711
That you grew up in with your dad
I never quite understood what it meant
But I see you’re still cradling that

I’m so tired and inspired 
being anxious, but still able
I don’t have time for your savior complex.
Switched from drinking,
Now to thinking, 
used to blame you, be just like you, 
want to hate you, idolized you, 
but now 

You’ve all inspired me 
to be nothing like you
and more like me

I miss your Kerouac keychain
I can almost feel the pewter 
I can see your tinted blue sunglasses
Checking on me 
in the rearview mirror

Ode To Dad

If I cry under the water,
Would anyone know?
Do I have to crash your party,
Or do you want me to go?

Will I ever stop playing God?
Closer to death 
but keepin me alive
I look into you during my song
But honey, I’m still not asking for it

Can I crash on your couch tonight?
The carpet smells dirty, 
but whatever, It’s fine

Chorus: 
God is not a woman
Nor is God a man
God is just a person that we found
Who deals with our shit non-stop
And keeps us around
(And keeps me around)

I ask, “How do we kill them off?”
“How do we get the dark parts out?” You tell me 
that we’ll fill it in with good 
until there’s no more room 
left for them
We push them out 

I sat by the fire
finding everything that’s wrong with me
I watched the whites of your eyes turn red, 
ignoring what you said 
I guess it’s time for bed

Can I crash on your couch tonight?
She said, “the carpet’s dirty”; 
I said “whatever, it’s fine”

My mother will always seem young 
Beside my sister I’ll always look dumb
And you ask me, “what’s the cause?”
But would it kill you 
to ask how my day was?

Damaged Goods

If only I had the courage you carry
Do tell what makes you feel so good? 
could not have known ya sooner
How could anyone deny you?

I never write songs quite like this
I had to keep this one upbeat, 
just for you, it’s all for you-
I wanna give you something 
you can run to!

Oh, Helen of Troy, 
won’t you walk with me again
Can I be your only friend?
Oh, Helen of Troy,
The others never understood
Just quite like you know I would
(Just quite like I know you would)

You’ve always been good at running 
I’ve never been too good at singing 
but I’ll sing and sing 
I’m here to cheer you on 
Till you’re going going gone 

Now you don’t look back
You can’t look back, 
I won’t let you fall behind 
She talked about finding the right guy-
I always loved a girl with a lazy eye!

Oh, Helen of Troy,
Won’t you stay here for a while?
Won’t you stay here by my side?

Helen Of Troy

I used to watch you as you’d sleep
And I liked that, 
Yeah

Forced to move on,
I had to reground my feet
And I didn’t like that

I like the new way he holds me now
How do you like that?

Chorus: 
I’ll no longer need someone by my side 
I’ll see you in hell for what I’ve done but I feel fine
I won’t let the things I love come back to me
Cause why would they leave?
I will not be a creature of habit, ah! 

I sleep alone now with the lights on
I am indifferent
Yeah

I scraped my hands 
and bruised my knees
I got back up 
And I admire that 


I’ll change my ways and brush it off
So I can live up to her
No!

In the west wing

West Wing

I’m an Aries 
What did you expect from me?
Did you think I’d be soft or lost? 
I’m not listening
cause that’d be wrong, 
I never even change my strings 
  
I’m not angry 
and I’m happy that you’re happy
Maybe that’s a lie 
Maybe I’m not fine
But it’s not attractive to be angry 
if you’re a lady
But guess what I’m angry

Chorus:
I ain’t got much to say
Other than 
you’re taking up too much space
And you’re not paying rent
so go get bent
Yeah so go get bent

She poured me a glass 
Saying, “Honey, please be nice”
I don’t need another half mum because I’m whole!
Ain’t that right?
And you sure as hell 
can’t force the grapes 
to ripen on the vine
