see you across the room
the lightbulbs break
got a bag of bobby pins
knows what it takes
i need
beer
you
beer
you
you wake up a mess
you fall asleep a man
I hike my skirt up
do what i can
i need
beer
you
beer
you
you smell like poppers
cigarette or two
i tell you to burn me
didn’t think that you’d want to
i need
beer
you
beer
you
she smells like a dryer sheet
and reminds you of your mom
she don’t deserve you though
don’t even deserve a song
i need
beer
you
beer
you
beer

Promises
03:21

we weren't born to make promises
there's never a sure foot ahead
you cast a glance at my suspicions
I think it's all in my head
there aren't wishes in the fountains
it's all just copper and rocks
why can't the evil within me show itself?
how come I can't make it stop?
lies and these deceptions
don't remind me of why
love is all i need tonight
love is what i'll try
strippin down to holy gowns
like a sinner in church
sweating while we break the rules
it's just the thought of it all that hurts
but waking up a different girl
i want to look my best
'cause in my heart there's ugliness
so i wear my favorite dress
lies and these deceptions
don't remind me of why
love is all i need tonight
love is what i'll try
but you weren't born to make promises
there's always another in line
i look deep inside
see i've been alone this whole time
your just a face that replaces the devil
yours is a face that replaces the devil

i'm packin lunch
tryin to make it right
i got pineapples, rice, and yogurt, oh my
meat, cheese, bread, pancakes too
anything you want
7-UP, Mountain Dew?
how bout a nicer view
with me?
or just you
i never knew
i never knew
i never knew
i never knew
how new you could feel
when i see
something in your eyes
i draw 17 hearts on a paper card
and underline each one
just so you know
that i'm the one
you got a way of smart talkin when you talk
your confidence could set a rocket off
i know you said i was the one
i know you said i was the one
( are there more?)
but
are there more?
are there more?
i hope not!
oh dear i think i'm fallin in love with you
oh no you look so messed up it's true
gonna do the best i can
i'm gonna straighten you out
gonna make you my man
i'm gonna straighten you out
gonna do the best i can
gonna straighten you out
gonna leave you a man

i don’t want to get a job or work
i don’t want to be a grocery clerk
i don’t want clean up after them
i wouldn’t take orders from other men
i want to spend all day washing the sheets
just so you can make 'em dirty for me
i love all the responsibility
to be your girl
i don’t want to drive a car around
what could a girl like me see in town?
i don’t like movies or the how the radio sounds
i just want you
true love i have found
i just want to be
i just want to be
the girl you come home to
i don’t want to travel to new places
no need for me to see those strangers faces
i just want to tidy up the house
set up the trap so i can catch that mouse
i don’t need to follow my dreams
it’s not like they would turn out for me
you are the only one i want to see
just go to work and i’ll be all you need
i wouldn’t wanna know how to love myself
i don’t need time so i can get some help
if i stay busy then i’ll surely stay well
you don’t need a man? aw go to hell!
i don’t need to feel you judging me
my life's so easy and i’m living for free!
i’ll trade my talents and my love of things
for all the little gifts my baby brings
i just want to be
i just want to be
the girl you come home to

Reasons
03:42
|
|||
|
you feel that every day
is just wasted time
you trust a reality
you can’t even define
faking smiles to a jester
i find it hard to be alive
there are people on the street
who are looking at me
they're looking at me
they say nothing
i guess we have nothing
to say
so you think there’s a reason?
a reason for you and i
some kind of reason
that we are alive
why are we alive?
someone took my heart home
someone locked it up
someone turned the lights off
someone locked me up
so ya think there’s a reason
some kind of reason for you and i
(maybe there's a reason, maybe there's a reason)
why we haven’t died
(inside)
you feel like every day is just wasted time
dont you (you trust a reality) that you can't define
(for you and I)
someone took my heart home
someone locked it up
someone turned the lights off
someone locked me up
so you think there's a reason
a reason for you and i
