You called
I got lost in the moment
My fault, my fault
Trying to fight through the cold and
I got, I got, I got
17 hours in the basement
with the feelings I caught, I caught
better than the nights on the pavement
I lost.
Life is so funny.
If time is your money,
then how ya gonna spend it all?
Tell me what you came for.
Everybody wants dollar bills now
Doesn’t matter if it kills ya
They want dollar bills now
Doesn’t matter if it fills ya
Alarm clock
Always buzzing in the morning
I’m up, I’m up
Everybody is working for the weekend
My god, my god, my god
70 hours to the boss-man
I cost. I cost.
Now all I wanna do is sleep in,
on days off.

I don’t need a chorus singing
I don’t need a crutch
Won’t keep your cell phone ringing
I won’t be too much
I want your courage.
I want your strength
I want your wonder
I want your faith
Tell me I’m lying
Now when I say
I want you all night
And then all day
three in the morning you were bored and got to calling me
to wake up from the middle of a sleep
smoke got to blowing in the middle of a show and
you told me you were thinking about me
you were on my mind
all through the night
you held me right
and I’m feeling fine
I don’t need a mess to clean up
I don’t need a spine
I won’t tell you who to become
I won’t waste your time

How Long?

It smells like coffee in the car,
it has ever since last March.
We tried so hard to vacuum grounds up from the carpet
After the dog had ripped a bag of them apart.
It smells like summer in the air
I can tell from the shampoo in your hair
Honey and lavender each time you adjust in your chair
And as you read the news I see you wipe away a tear.
Stop, where you’re going
It’s all wrong.
We’ll drive the coast to California
Lost, on the highway,
for how long?
Forever if I need to for ya
Gone, we’ll keep going
Until it stops.
It feels like waking from a dream,
it has ever since you came to me.
Everything got sweet like bags we’d fill on Halloween
Out on those streets where we met when we were teens
I feel like I could just scream
The whole world’s ripping at the seams
The more I read the more I see the space that’s in between
can be anything that we want it to be.

Song for F. Scott

You counted your clout like a stock,
all wrapped up in who’s hot.
It’s keeping your stomach in knots,
somebody always has more than you got.
You wanted mansions
You wanted the cars, you wanted gold
What era did we land in?
We made it in time for Gatsby’s toast.
Fireworks and champagne flutes,
button down shirts, here all for you.
The cavalcade was quite a sight,
singing on through twilight.
I want it all, it’s not enough,
whatever’s left is all for us.
The promenade is looking rough
I guess all them don’t measure up.
The game is rigged from the top,
you’re either in or you’re not.
You keep on gunnin’ for that spot,
but in the end you’re always feeling lost.
You wanted attention.
You wanted your name up in the lights.
What era’d we land in?
We’re all just here on Gatsby’s time.
