Bowl of Soup
02:03

|

my head's a bowl of soup
that's spilling every time I think of you
I wake up in the morning and I turn on the news
and I'm wishing that I didn't by noon
'cause all they're ever playing is the blood and abuse
and I hate the way I'm getting numb to it
and I've been angry before but not like this
and I've felt helpless before but not like this, not like this
I feel the body aches
I tried to fix em with a thousand milkshakes
til my face breaks
and you can try to tell me that it isn't a war
but I'm watching all the bullets go by
I wanna be a soldier but I'm stuck on the floor
now I'm choking up and I don't know why
and I've been angry before but not like this
and I've felt helpless before but not like this, not like this

The Train
04:09

I can't tell from the backs of the houses
through the train windows, am I close to home
beige little boxes pressed in close together
beige little boxes I could never own
all laid bare
the ugliest parts of my town
all laid bare
the ugliest parts of my self
all I feel
is rolling away from the past
all I want
is to escape this hell
I've been gone for too many days now
I've been down on a darkened road
lived underneath the beige little boxes
took what I believed I was owed
all laid bare
the secrets we keep out back
all laid bare
the secrets we keep inside
all I want
is to curl up in my bed and to cry
all I've done
is tell myself I tried
all laid bare
the emptiest parts of my self
all laid bare
the ugliest parts of my heart
all I know
this mixing inside of my head
all I've done
is try to make a start
you've been trapped in a beige little box love
fences away from the tempting tracks
you're better off turning tail to the window
once you leave it's hard to find your way back

Mint & Roses
04:48

I filled my room with mint and roses
so at least these walls look fresh and alive
but the only thing that anyone knows is
even rose petals will wither and die
I bake my bread in the kitchen on Thursday
so I could watch at least one of us rise
I wanna make something worth having on my worst day
to stop my brain from telling these lies
wish I was 17
all skin and bones and idle dreams
and everything I've done still yet to come
wish I was young again
with little thoughts and fewer friends
time's making a fool
outta me
eyes grown tired from looking out the window
I'd rather watch the shadows on the wall
make another cuppa every time I feel low
everything is better when I feel small
wish I was 21
all g&ts and having fun
with all of my regrets still undone
wish I was young again with little thought and fewer friends
I've been making a mess
outta me
always afraid
always in pain
oh what a waste of time
I'm in my way
my mirrors made me blind
and the only fault is mine

Angel Boy
04:23

you were always a hundred feet too tall
your sweet and steady ways were enough to make me fall
you're shining high above
impossible to touch
so something's telling me that I want you way too much
can we just talk about it
I think I need to hear you say
that you never should have let me leave that night or that you never really felt the same way
can't live in purgatory for another day
an angel sings a pretty thing but then he just walks away
remember drinking down by the canal that summer night
put your turquoise jacket on and saw your eyes ignite
whenever they're on me
I think I almost see
a part of you that wants me and that's what haunts me and keeps me up at night
can we just talk about it
I think I need to hear you say
that you never should have let me leave that night or that you never really felt the same way
can't live in purgatory for another day
an angel boy's a pretty toy but he'll never ask you to stay
I gave up, I moved on
ready set to let you go
but then you grabbed my hand and pulled me in
a single kiss, perfect 10
then you disappeared again
tell me now I need to hear
I felt your hand on my waist the night we danced
and the way that you touched me
I never stood a chance
can we just talk about it
I think I need to hear you say
that you never should have let me leave that night or that you never really felt the same way
can't live in purgatory for another goddamn day
an angel sings a pretty thing but then he just walks away
(oohs)

Every Day
03:49

I tried to write a letter to tell you how I feel
but I hate the sight of my handwriting
so now it's in a song
but still the words all come out wrong
and I don't know what it is I'm fighting
it's odd to romanticize a love that is so real
so please don't criticize
the way that I tell you how I feel
just let me say
I miss you, I love you
I choose you every day
you're the best thing
I hope you feel the same
and I love that I get
to watch you grow and change
and I hope you know I love you every day
I love you every day
I love waking up with you
you know I need my coffee or I'll be in a mood
so you walk with me down to the café
two messy heads of hair in brown and grey
in moments like this it really seems to be
that I'm sticking with you
and you'll be stuck with me
so let me say
I miss you, I love you
I choose you every day
you're the best thing
I hope you feel the same
and I love that I get
to watch you grow and change
and I hope you know I love you every day
I love you every day
no one could know that we would fall in love fall in love
and no one could know that it would be a love like the love
that we made
I miss you, I love you
I choose you every day
you're the best thing
I hope you feel the same
and I love that I get
to watch you grow and change
and I hope you know I love you every day
I love you every day
