Lyrics:

[v1]
You made me love
The sound of cars
The frozen pond
We waded on 

You made me love
The empty park
The birds singing “sol-fa”
So far away

[pre]
You made me love
You made me stay
You made me love
You made me

[v2]
You made me love
The quiet hum
(Wait ‘til the morning sun, the morning sun)
The table’s set
But dad is gone
(Wait ‘til the morning son, the morning son)
You made me love
The things I love
(Wait ‘til the morning comes, the morning comes)

[pre]
You made me love
You made me stay
You made me love
You made me

[bridge]
I could be awful if you let me
I could travel for miles and never stand still
I could burn every bridge that you begged me to build
And sometimes I think I will

(Wait ‘til the morning sun)
(Wait ‘til the morning sun)
(The morning sun)

(I am stuck by what I love, with what I love, you made me)
(Arms and legs, my lungs and hands, resist demands you made me)
(Dad’s out late and mom won’t budge)
(You made me stay, you made me love)

You Made Me

Lyrics:

[v1]
Oh love
Here’s my forethought
It’s been a fortnight
But I need some more thought

They move the bed from your room
They paint your walls
And they’re yelling at you 
To be cool with it all
We had parents once

[chorus]
Oh it could’ve been a rug
At least my brother’s numb

[v2]
Oh love
You’re looking at me like you want something
And I want that enough to believe
I still think straight

My demon is a patient creature
He bides his time
While he feeds on what I feed him
And tells me I’m alright
I think you liked me once

[chorus]
Oh it could’ve been a rug
At least my body’s numb

[last chorus]
Oh it could’ve been a rug
At least my body’s numb
Oh and we’re waking up
Brother, life is long

Lyrics:

[v1]
Wrap me up in your compulsions
Swear they got the coolest textures
Something like skin and technicolor

Tell me that you see forever
I’m hanging on to every fixture
Of how I thought you’d always feel

[chorus]
Oooo
Do you love me or are you just generous?
Oooo
Do you love me or are you just being generous?

[v2]
Your tracing words along my backbone
More poetry than prose
Breathless and composed

I miss the way your knees looked bruised
While I slipped out of my suit
Knowing I would follow you

[chorus]

[outro chorus]

Generous

Lyrics:

[v1]
You come over
For the third time this week
And though I know you well 
It seems we barely even speak

But I tell you that I love you
You tell me you love me
The room is spotless, I doubt you’ll spot the
Things you shouldn’t see

And choose what you believe

[chorus]
If you don’t know by now you won’t
If you don’t know by now you won’t
If you don’t know by now you won’t
If you don’t know by now you won’t

[v2]
And I shouldn’t know
If you’ve done the same
But the noise I hear escape your mouth
Sounds like someone else’s name

And I don’t know what I’m hearing
Could my mind be playing tricks
I know I’ve been unwell
But could I really be this sick

[chorus]

[bridge]
Is it worth the overthought
Whether we care or not?
Is it worth the overthought
Whether we care or not?

[chorus]

[sax solo]

Lyrics:

[v1]
You wanna talk
Saying something ‘bout the way that you hate me
You’ll call it off
Avoiding the choice
To crave or to save me

[v2]
I wanna fuck
Wearing nothing but the bracelet you gave me
To wish me luck
In finding enough to sate or save me

[v3]
I’m still asleep
You’re up to make your morning coffee
I’m buried under your sheets
But I can’t seem to get them off me

I wanna stop
I can’t outrun these moments that made me
I’m in the way of seeing your way
And I’m okay if you can’t save me

Lyrics:

[v1]
You ask me, laughing
“How’s he not evicted yet”
You’re spilling your dress and the party’s making a mess of my best friend’s apartment
And you’re pulling on my sleeve, but you don’t want me to leave
You just want me somewhere quiet
And I’m sitting on the couch, just thinking about
How nothing happens ‘til you try it

[pre]
I’m clearly not your boyfriend yet
I’m clearly not your boyfriend yet
I’m clearly not your boyfriend yet
But you want me to fix that

[chorus]
You can see it coming from a mile away
Why don’t you stay awhile
Stay stay awhile
Cause in the morning you’ll be miles away
Why don’t you stay awhile
Stay stay awhile
You were quick to call it love, quick to call it love
So love why don’t you
Stay awhile
Stay stay awhile
And we can call it love 
‘Til we call it off
So love why don’t you
Stay awhile
Stay stay awhile

[v2]
You drive a little faster than I’m used to
And you move a little smoother than I’m used to
I’m used to watching my back, but I’m distracted by your point of view
Sure you’re
Puking in a park on a Tuesday 
But tell me what’s wrong with living life in a new way
You’re a handful, but I like my hands full
And I’m thinking you can keep my summer plans full

Lyrics:

[v1]
We made a mess, but I don’t mind
It made sense to be friends for a long time, but
Here we are so what do we do now
Maybe we’re afraid cause we got something to lose now
Good enough, but it looks like we shot it
So if we’ve already given up
Do we stop it?

[v2]
We’ve been in the same cycle for a while
Swimming up against the current and we wonder why we struggle
When we stop saying what we mean when we mean it
Stop having any hope when we know we believe it
And we repeat it ‘til we drop it
If we’re gonna fall apart
Do we stop it?

[bridge]
Stop saying that we weren’t enough
Stop saying that I wasn’t enough
Stop thinking you can call my bluff
Stop thinking that you’re calling my bluff
You’re not cause
I’ve gotten good at getting over you
You gave me plenty of practice
“We can’t be mad about it if we laugh about it”
And you can’t stop laugh

Stop It

Lyrics: 

[v1]
I know I’m kinda hard to be around
I never think about what’s coming out of my mouth
Til it all comes out

I know you’re nice enough to hear me out
But I probably shouldn’t say that right now
There’s someone else I’m thinking about

[pre1]
So let’s save it for another night
If we’re gonna fight about it
I just didn’t wanna keep it from you
Sure you’re acting like you’re fine about it
But if you’re looking for a reason to leave
I made it easy for you

[chorus]
I made it easy for you
I made it easy for you
I made it easy for you
I made it easy for you

[v2]
Yeah it was hard for this to end well
You eventually got sick of me
And finally had to move out
And move on to someone else

Cause you just wanted to be cared about
And all I gave you was a way for you to get out
Cause I figured you would figure out
And you don’t wanna talk now
You don’t wanna talk now

[pre2]
So let this be the end of it
If that’s what you believe
Cause I don’t have it in me now to fight with you
Cause I’ll be ‘cross the country in a couple of weeks
So if you never wanna see me again
I made it easy for you

[chorus]

[bridge]
I don’t have the room to take you with me
I got too much baggage in the back of my car
Maybe you didn’t even care about me close enough
For this to ever have to get too hard

(can you hear this as just a song?)

[bridge build]
How is this so easy for you
How is this so easy for you
How is this so easy for you

How is this so easy for you
You’re making this look easy for you
Goddamn, I guess I must’ve made it easy for you

[chorus]

Lyrics:

[v1: Cass Miller]
Remember what we had
That kissing in the backseat
Easy and relaxing kind of love
Scratches on your back
Just to hear you laughing was enough

[pre]
Oooo
I don’t know if we knew what we wanted
Oooo
But we knew what we had when we lost it

[chorus]
Said we need a break, said we need to break it off
Now I don’t want the space, you don’t want the space at all
Thought it’d be better but we never learned to let it go
This is how we know

[v2: Sleeping Lion]
Sure we weren’t perfect
Crying in the diner
Fight until it’s light out kind of love
Maybe we were learning
Feelings are a burden when they’re burning up

[pre]

[chorus]

[bridge]
(We never learned to let it go)
This is how we know
(We never learned to let it go)
This is how we know
(We never learned to let it go)
This is how we know
(We never learned to let it go)
Oooo this is how we know

[chorus]

Lyrics:

[v1]
I got a problem with options
It was easier when you were the only one calling
Now I’m tryna be honest
But I’m buying time with little lies & you can tell I’m stalling

[pre]
And there’s no way
That I’m making a decision
But I can’t stay
By now, I thought it’d be different

[chorus]
You were good for me
You were good for me
If there’s a heart to break
I’d rather not take my chances
Cause you were good
But anybody could be

[post]
(There are plenty of fish in the sea)

[v2]
I got a problem with attention
I think I love anyone who tries to be nice to me
And it’s hard to fight against them
I don’t say no, even though I know I should probably leave

[pre]

[chorus]

[post]

[outro]
(And there’s no way)
You were good for me
(Oh, I can’t stay)
Cause anybody could be...

Good

[intro chorus]
The 101, just ain’t as fun without you sitting shotgun
Bars in Echo Park don’t feel the same…

[v1]
I only miss you when I’m out late
Or when I’m lying awake at 3am
I’ve gone on fifty fucking first dates
And I gotta say I’m getting pretty tired of them

[pre]
Sure, I could try to find somebody new
But it’d only be distracting me from you
Something bout this city
Got me wishing you were with me
And I’m missing all the things we used to do

[chorus]
The 101, just ain’t as fun without you sitting shotgun
Bars in Echo Park don’t feel the same
Nothing’s good in Hollywood if you can’t share it with someone
Seems like people fall in love here every day
I really thought by now I’d be OK
But I’m sick of being lonely in LA

[v2]
I heard this song I wanna show you
It’s kinda sad, but I think that you’d like it a lot
I hate pretending I don’t know you
And telling other people I’m over you when I’m not

[pre]

[chorus]

Lonely in LA

Lonely in LA (w/ Sophia Gripari)

I used to never have to think about it
Never worried if I went too far
But now I wonder ‘bout the consequences
Of not knowing who we are

There’s something different in the way you’re acting
Something subtle when you look at me
I’m always scared to start a chain reaction
Never knowing where it leads

Well you know I always said it’s all or nothing
You got a problem with the way I lose my head
When I dive head first and fall right into something, ooh, something
Then turn around and run the other way instead

But I know that
You’ve been looking for balance
You’ve been looking for something stable
And I’ve been breaking my habits
To try to level out for you
Cause I could use some balance too

(Oh I could use some balance too)
(Oh I could use some balance too)
(Ooh)
To try to level out for you
Cause I could use some balance too

I really wish we wouldn’t fight about this
Always thought you were my solid ground
While I was making up my mind about this
I figured you would stick around

Well you know I always said it’s all or nothing
You got a problem with the way I lose my head
When I dive head first and fall right into something
Then turn around and run the other way instead

But I know that
You’ve been looking for balance
You’ve been looking for something stable
And I’ve been breaking my habits
To try to level out for you
Cause I could use some balance too

(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh)
To try to level out for you
Cause I could use some balance too

(Oh)
(I could use some balance too)
(Oh)
(I could use some balance too)
(To try to level out for you)
(Cause I could use some balance too)
