You come and go
You stand too close
What was your name?
Forgot again
I’m overwhelmed
Hope you can’t tell
Don’t look at me
Silence is key
But please don’t leave
Because I need
Some company
So stay with me
What is that picture
On your shirt
Is it some brand
I never learned
Pretend to be impressed by you
You stand too close
I watch you boast
I let it go
I’m so alone
What was your name
Forgot again
Asking’s ok
Maybe too late
Pretend to be impressed by you
Could that be what you’re doing too?
Pretend to be impressed by you
Could that be what you’re doing too?

One Way Flight
04:42
|

Oceans away
You couldn’t stay
Please don’t cry
We’ll be alright
Take care in London
Have a safe flight
Kiss me like you’ll miss me
Speak with your lips and not your words
Smile at the thought
Of what could have been
Wipe away the tears
Save it for when the plane rides the sky
The sky
The sky
The sky
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
(One way flight)
Goodbye
(One way flight)
Goodbye
(One way flight)
Goodbye
One way flight
One way flight
One way flight

Adulthood
03:18
|
|
||
Wearing socks under my sandals
I don’t know how I’m expected to handle
All these adult things,
I feel my head, it’s slowly sinking
Fighting climate anxiety
With a keep cup and a brand-spanking pair of new car keys
On my one-hour commute to university
And I’m getting older but not much wiser
And by the time I’m 50 the world will be on fire
So I’m sorry that it takes a while for me to get out of bed,
Brush the hair on my head
Oh Adulthood doesn’t look too good.
Washing glasses one by one to save the water while all my friends are having fun
In the sun, at the park don’t get me started
About the expectations that have been thrust on us seemingly expectantly
And yet you don’t look that guilty
And I’m starting to get run down from this weight that you have placed between my shoulders
And I’m building the person I want to be
So let me be
And fuck off with your coal mines
And all your pollution too
And your little plebiscite along with all the things that you weren’t big enough to do
Oh Adulthood doesn’t look too good.
Adulthood don’t look too good.
Adulthood don’t look too good.
Adulthood don’t look too good.
Adulthood don’t look too good!

Everybody Dies
03:28
|
|||
Too young to be old
Too old to be young
Too dumb to be smart
Too smart to be dumb
Too young to be old
Too old to be young
Too dumb to be smart
Too smart to be dumb
On my way to work
I pass the cemetery
And I am reminded of my mortality
Everyone on the train’s coughing, coughing
Too good to be bad
Too bad to be good
When I’m feeling sad
Well I don’t think I should
Got it pretty good
Comparatively
Even if I wish that I had done things differently
Busy train but no one says hello, says hello
Everyone on the train feels alone, feels alone
As we pass the graveyard
Theres so many cars
I think about the graveyard
Everybody dies
Everybody dies
Everybody dies
Nobody survives
Everybody dies

I am confused
I would do anything for you
But I find it hard to pick up my own shoes
I think I’m a woman
But I fuck shit up all the time
And I lie through my teeth to keep up alright
She was an angel
Beyond what I could comprehend
She helped me find my feet
But I lost them in the end
What will I become?
But vomit-inducing love
You know I haven’t taken anything from my walls down
Whys this all about me
So selfishly alone
And if you drive me home and you try to leave, please don’t, please don’t
(Please don’t, please don’t, please don’t)

Can't Mean Much
05:45
|
|||
I took your words like a "cross your heart, swear to die"
But the stone for you to rest isn't there
Just me and my disappointment
Dwelling in the loneliness
Dwelling in the brokenness
Dwelling in the ugly mess
Lets just out this all to rest
"You'll feel fine soon" that's what they say when I say "I'm not okay"
"You'll feel fine soon" that's what they say when I say "I'm not okay"
"I'll feel fine soon" that's what I say to myself when I'm not okay
I'll feel fine soon
Used to call me a special name
Now I'm just one of the same
Take back your words if you can't speak the truth
It means something to me, it can't mean that much to you
I can't be your question mark anymore
Just waiting there until you want me
Cos I'm still waiting there until you want me
And that's hurting me more than you can see
I can't lose myself, I've gotta be
Brave enough with certainty
That this is the best thing for me
"You'll feel fine soon" that's what they say when I say "I'm not okay"
"You'll feel fine soon" that's what they say when I say "I'm not okay"
"I'll feel fine soon" that's what I say to myself when I'm not okay
I'll feel fine soon
Used to call me a special name
Now I'm just one of the same
Take back your words if you can't speak the truth
It means something to me, it can't mean that much to you
Take back your words if you can't speak the truth
It means something to me, it can't mean that much to you
Take back your words if you can't speak the truth
Take them back they can't mean much to you
Take back your words if you can't speak the truth
Take them back I can't mean much to you

Thinking on the Floor
04:52
|
|||
You caught me dreaming, awake
I was thinking about if I could be a mistake
I spent three days inside
I’ve scoured every corner of my mind
And I don’t know anything at all
Except how long it’s been since your last call
And I don’t know anything at all
Except how long the average bobtail lizard grows
And I wanna know what’s living underground
I wanna know who’s four light years away
And I wanna know what sounds you make
I wanna dream of you tonight
I’m sick of the way that they treat people from next door
But I’m more sick of the way that I block it out the door
I don’t really know what this is all for
But I’ll just stay here and think a bit more on the floor
And I don’t know anything at all
Except how long its been since your last call
And I don’t know anything at all
Except the collective noun for a bunch of crows
And I wanna know what’s living underground
I wanna know who’s four light years away
And I wanna know what sounds you make
(I don’t know anything)
I wanna dream of you tonight
(I don’t know anything)
I wanna know what’s in your head
(I don’t know anything)
I wanna know what’s in your head
(I don’t know anything)
And I wanna know what’s in your head
(I don’t know anything)
I wanna dream of you tonight
I wanna dream of you tonight
I wanna dream of you tonight

Shark
02:55
|

Find me a shark with a damson green head
Find me a dog in a riverbed
Reach for the stars and tell me they’re not grey
You are weird but you’re ok
Leave me alone but talk to me
I just wanna be happy
Catch me in the sunrise
Pick a flower for my hair
Tell me that you love me
And I love you too
I wanna wrap my arms around you
Then I wake up
Catch me a train
I want to leave my brain
Leave me alone but talk to me
I just want to be happy
Catch me in the sunrise
Pick a flower for my head
Tell me that you love me
And I’ll love you too
I wanna wrap my arms around you
Wanna wrap my arms around you
Wanna wrap my arms around you
Wanna wrap my arms around you
Wanna wrap my arms around, around, around you
Just wanna wrap my arms around you
Wanna wrap my arms around you.

Good Enough
04:48
|

My family don’t know what I’m gonna do with the rest of my life
And to be honest, I don’t have a clue
My mother told me she was proud of me today, but I don’t know what for
But it’s nice to know that I have her support
And my brother told me I should be careful, for what I’m wishing for
But it’s easy for him to say that from the other side of Australia
I haven’t seen my dad in over a week, well I don’t know why
He only lives a short car ride away
And I called my sister up, on the phone, just the other day
She’s started a new job and has recently moved away
But I think she finds it tough; I think she’s really struggling and fair enough
So I make sure that I tell her just how proud that I am of her
Am I good enough? x23

Future Knows Us
04:32
|
|||
One day, more than one day we’ll look back at this time
When we age and our hairs not the same anymore
Ooooh x2
The future knows us but we don’t know the future
The future knows us but we don’t know the future
One day, more than one day we’ll look back at this time
(back at this time, back at this time)
When we age and our hairs not the same anymore
(back at this time, back at this time)
Take care of your friends, make sure you care for them
(take care of friends, take care of them)
Who knows when you’ll see them again
(who knows when, see them again)
Ooooh x2
The future knows us but we don’t know the future x10
