1. Love You Now 

I’m a four or a five
And your only score is a perfect nine
But none of that mattered when we met
You took me away and I took you to bed
And even if I could would you
Not move a thing unless i asked you to 
Baby that might be the only way now 
That I know how 
To love you now 

I’m a good halfway 
Through digging up all of the shit that you gave me
Then I heard that you bought a house down the road
On my favourite corner how did you know
And even if I could would I
Come over with a shotgun strapped to my thigh
Baby that might be the only way now 
That I know how 
To love you now 

I Remember you said once
That the hairs on my back made it soft to touch
Then you pushed me over and shut me down
I’m wrapped around your finger for when no ones around 
And just as I lay down my guard 
I see you waving on the boulevard 
Baby that might be the only place now 
That we can go around 
To drown it out 

Dinner was alright
I held the conversation all night
But you won’t remember a word I said
I’m just a pretty song stuck in your head


2. Something You Were Trying

Been taking myself for a spin
Know exactly what I’ve been doing
You’ve been tugging on the loop of my jeans
Saying don’t leave baby don’t leave me
I was gone again by the time you got back
Now I’m lying here just pinching myself
They say you forget how you fell once you land

All I ever wanted was to know that you were thinking of me
All I ever wanted was to find a way eventually
And there’s always something left to find but maybe we’re just better at hidings
So I kinda figure that you were never really mine and I was just something you were trying


I wanna take you every place that I’ve been
I can do it all I can make it happen
You can hold on to the loop of my jeans
And I won’t leave baby I won’t leave
Then I guess I took the corner too fast
But I was flying for a minute just to crash
They say you forget how you fell once you land


3. Marmalade

Are you gonna be alright
I buried my shame just yesterday
In the garden where the angels piss all night
Onto coins that lay at the bottom deciding our fate

When it’s pouring down 
I can’t hear myself
When the words come out
I can’t feel my mouth 
When I’m facing my fears 
And you’re facing a couple years

Are you gonna be alright
Will they know you by name or Will they take that away
Do you remember the very first time
If you see me again just know that I was eating marmalade

When it’s pouring down
I can’t hear myself
When the words come out
I can’t feel my mouth 
When I’m facing my fears
And you’re facing a couple years

Can’t deny 
That you’ve been somewhere on my mind
Since february two thousand five  
But where the hell was I
Where the hell was I 
Where the hell was I

Marmalade my first mistake
Now i can make myself like 
Anything I wanted to hate
Anything I wanted to hate 


4. 7 Up

You got a free ride to Silver Lake
You got a good side and your mama’s ache
You got a half smile and a lemonade
You’re doing alright when you’re alright
You got a free ride to Silverlake 
You had a rough night but they liked your face
You didn’t realise what the label takes
You gotta moonlight just incase

You said you’d come back for me somehow
But it freaks me out that you call it seven up now
You said you’d come back for me someday
But the angel on my back thinks you’re a gateway

And I tried to forget how much 
How much you hurt me
And I dragged myself into the mess you love
Deliriously

You got a free ride to Silver Lake
You got a good side and your mama’s ache 
You got a past life in another state
You’re doing alright when you’re alright

You said you’d come back for me somehow
But it freaks me out that you call it 7 Up now
You said you’d come back for me someday
But the angel on my back thinks you’re a gateway

And I tried to forget how much 
How much you hurt me 
And I dragged myself into the mess you love
Deliriously

And I tried to forget how much
How much you hurt me 
How much you hurt me 


5. Stupid

I never loved you for fun
I did it because it hurt
And it’s cool that you found someone
And it’s cool that it’s her

But it makes me feel so stupid
And nervous and lonely
That you’re doing all the shit that we did
And it’s perfect you know me

I never loved you for fun
I did it for the hell
By the pool with your tshirt on
When you said everything that I felt

But it makes me feel so stupid
and nervous and lonely
That you’re doing all the shit that we did
And it’s perfect you know me

And I never meant to change your mind
When you said just take your time
We did more than blur the lines

Now it makes me feel so stupid
And nervous and lonely
That you’re doing all the shit that we did
And it’s perfect you know me
Yeah you’re doing all the shit that we did 
And it’s perfect you know me you know me 

I never loved you for fun 


6. Good Fight 

I made you crazy
You made me nervous 
We gave each other purpose
I made you dinner
You made me thinner
We’re slaving away under the surface

We go on and off and on and off and on
Yeah we go on and off and on and off and on

You said you came for a good fight
I’m scared and I’m bored at the same time
You said you came for a good fight
I’m scared and I’m bored at the same time

I’m back to playing
Ain’t that the main thing
I just stare at the wall til I see a painting 
There’s now and theres never
And they’ve been there forever
But I’m so glad we found them together 

We go on and off and on and off and on
Yeah we go on and off and on and off and on
Yeah we go on and off and on and off and on

You said you came for a good fight
I’m scared and I’m bored at the same time
You said you came for a good fight
I’m scared and I’m bored at the same time


7. Leave

I found a letter to myself in an empty drawer
I made it into a paper plane and it flew into the floor
And in the morning it feels like somebody’s turning the page
So I keep telling myself don’t try if nothing’s gonna change

Cause even when we gave it more it would feel like less
I knew the number but I lost count
Put on an open shirt and a bullet proof vest
When I got tired of thinking about

Are you gonna la la leave me
Tell me what’s it gonna be 
Are you gonna la la leave me
Tell me what’s it gonna be 
Are you gonna la la

I found a letter to myself in an empty drawer
But now I feel like I’m someone else So who’d I write it for 

cause even when we gave it more it would feel like less
i knew the number but i lost count
put on an open shirt and a bullet proof vest
when i got tired of thinking about

Are you gonna la la leave me
Tell me what’s it gonna be 
Are you gonna la la leave me
Tell me what’s it gonna be 
Are you gonna la la

Don’t wanna forget 
Can’t remember it 
every little bit
(I’m just so tired of thinking)

Are you gonna la la leave me
Tell me what’s it gonna be 
Are you gonna la la leave me
Tell me what’s it gonna be 
Are you gonna la la


8. Rainbow Hotel 

Don’t drink the coffee
Finish your meal
You got a show on later
So just try not to feel
Go stand on the back beach
Where the kites all fly around
Then drive over the minefield 
And I’ll hold you to the ground 

Today is enough
Today is enough

You got Silverstone on the tv
You got his voice inside your head
You heard him saying Phoebe
You’re such an idiot
I know he said there was nothing left
About you to love
And I know how that destroyed you 
And I know you brushed it off 

Today is enough
Today is enough
Yeah today 
And you know that tomorrow’s another one

There’s a whole new kind of anxious
That you never knew you had 
There’s the guy at the tobacconist 
Who’s been acting like your dad
Your friends are gonna look at you
Like there’s something on your face
You’re gonna realise before they do 
That there’s just nothing they can say

To make it go
Away I know
Today
Today
Today...
