1. Holiday From Real

[VERSE 1]

She thinks I'm much too thin

She asks me if I'm sick

What's a girl to do

With friends like this

She lets me drive her car

So I can score an eighth

From the lesbians

Out west in Venice

[PRE-CHORUS]

Oh-oh California in the summer

Ah-ah and my hair is growing long

Fuck yeah, we can live like this

[CHORUS]

But if you left it up to me

Everyday would be a holiday from real

We'd waste our weeks beneath the sun

We'd fry our brains and say it's so much fun out here

But when it's all over

I'll come back for another year

[VERSE 2]

I looked for work today

I'm spilling out the door

Put my glasses on

So no one sees me

I never thought that

I'd be living on your floor

But the rents are high

And LA's easy

[PRE-CHORUS]

Oh-oh it's a picture of perfection

Ah-ah and the postcards gonna read

"Fuck yeah we can live like this...

We can live like this"

[CHORUS]

But if you left it up to me

Everyday would be a holiday from real

We'd waste our weeks beneath the sun

We'd fry our brains and write it's so much fun out here

[BRIDGE]

Hey Madeline, you sure look fine

You wore my favorite sweater

Being poor was never better

A safety buzz, some cheap red wine

Oh, the trouble we can get in

So let's screw this one up right

[CHORUS]

But if you left it up to me

Everyday would be a holiday from real

We'd waste our weeks beneath the sun

We'd lie and tell our friends it's so much fun out here

But when it's all over

I'll come back for another

But when it's all over

I'll come back for another year

2. The Mixed Tape

[INTRO]

[VERSE 1]

This is morning

That's when I spend the most time

Thinking 'bout what I've given up

This is a warning

When you start the day just to close the curtains you're

thinking about what I've given up

[CHORUS]

Where are you now?

As I'm swimming through the stereo

I'm writing you a symphony of sound

Where are you now?

As I rearrange the songs again

This mix could burn a hole in anyone

but it was you I was thinking of

it was you I was thinking of

[VERSE 2]

I read your letter

The one you left when you broke into my house

I'm retracing every step you made

And you said you meant it

And there's a piece of me in every single second of every single day

But if it's true then tell me how it got this way.

[CHORUS]

Where are you now?

As I'm swimming through the stereo

I'm writing you a symphony of sound

Where are you now?

As I rearrange the songs again

This mix could burn a hole in anyone

but it was you I was thinking of

it was you I was thinking of

[BRIDGE]

I can't get to you

I can't get to you

I can't get to you, you, you

[CHORUS]

Where are you now?

As I'm swimming through the stereo

I conduct a symphony of sound

Where are you now?

As I'm cutting though you track by track

I swear to God this mix could sink the sun

but it was you I was thinking of

it was you I was thinking of

[OUTRO]

And this is my mixed tape for her

It's like I wrote every note with my own fingers

3. Bruised

[VERSE 1]

I've got my things, I'm good to go

You met me at the terminal

Just one more plane ride and it's done

We stood like statues at the gate

Vacation's come and gone too late

There's so much sun where I'm from

I had to give it away, had to give you away

[VERSE 2]

And we spent four days on an

Island at your family's old hotel

Sometimes perfection can be

It can be perfect hell, perfect

[CHORUS]

Hours pass and she still counts the minutes that I am not there

I swear I didn't mean for it to feel like this

Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised

Don't fly fast Oh, pilot can you help me

Can you make this last? This plane is all I got

So keep it steady, now 'Cause every inch you see is

Bruised

[VERSE 3]

I lace my Chucks, I walk the aisle,

I take my pills the babies cry,

All I hear is what's playing through to in-flight radio

Now every word of every song

I've ever heard that made me

Want to stay is what's playing through the in-flight radio

And I, I am finally waking up

[CHORUS]

Hours pass and she still counts the minutes that I am not there

I swear I didn't mean for it to feel like this

Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised

Don't fly fast Oh, pilot can you help me

Can you make this last? This plane is all I got

So keep it steady, now 'Cause every inch you see is

Bruised

[BRIDGE]

So read your books

But stay out late some nights, some nights

And don't think that you

Can't stop by the bar

You haven't shown your face here

Since the bad news

I'm here 'til close, with fingers crossed

Each night 'cause your place isn't far

And hours pass, and hours pass, yeah, yeah

[ALT CHORUS]

She still counts the minutes that I am not there

I swear I didn't mean for it to feel like this

Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised

Don't fly fast Oh, pilot can you help me

Can you make this last? This plane is all I got

So keep it steady, now 'Cause every inch you see is

Bruised, yeah, bruised, bruised

4. I'm Ready

[INTRO]

N.C.

And today was a day just like any other

[VERSE 1]

I'm on the verge, I'm on the verge

Unraveling with every word

With every word you say, make me believe

That I won't feel your tires on the street

As I'm finding the words, you're getting away

I come undone, oh yes, I do

Just think of all the thoughts wasted on you

And every word you say, say something sweet

Cause all I taste is blood between my teeth

As I'm finding the words, you're getting away

[CHORUS]

Well I'm ready

I'm ready to drop, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I'm ready

I'm ready so don't stop

I'm ready so don't stop

Keep pushing

I'm ready to fall, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I'm ready

I'm ready so don't call

I'm ready so don't call

[VERSE 2]

I am aware, I've been misled

I disconnect my heart, my head

Don't wanna recognize when things go bad

The things that you'll accept

Except that I am finding the words to say

[CHORUS]

Well I'm ready

I'm ready to drop, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I'm ready

I'm ready so don't stop

I'm ready so don't stop

[BRIDGE]

I wake up to find it's another

Four aspirin morning, and I dive in

I put on the same clothes I wore yesterday.

When did society decide that we had to change

And wash a tee shirt after every individual use:

If it's not dirty, I'm gonna wear it.

I take the stairs to the car

And there's fog on the windows.

I need caffeine in my bloodstream,

I take caffeine in the bloodstream.

I grip the wheel and all at once I realize:

(And you're getting away...)

My life has become a boring pop song and everyone's singing along.)

[CHORUS]

Well I'm ready

I'm ready to drop, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I'm ready

I'm ready so don't stop

I'm ready so don't stop

Keep pushing

I'm ready to fall, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I'm ready

I'm ready so don't call

I'm ready so don't call

5. La La Lie

[INTRO]

[VERSE 1]

Guess what I'm done writing you songs

You'll give up your job at the bank

Proving money's not fun when you're gone

So this is the first verse

It's not very long but I'm ready to move on

[VERSE 2]

Guess what I'm done writing your book

The ending got twisted around

But for all of the hell that it took

The electrical wires

They hum in the walls of the room that I rent now, without you

[CHORUS]

I've got friends who (la la la lie)

Will help me pull through (la la la lie la la la lie)

The space man that can't get high

I'm coming back to my girl by July, yeah, yeah, yeah

[VERSE 3]

Guess what I'm done drawing you pictures

I'm dulling the day with a drink

In a parking garage by the theater

We met for a movie

Every scene was a sign, we made out through their meaning

[CHORUS]

I've got friends who (la la la lie)

Will help me pull through (la la la lie la la la lie)

The space man that can't get high

I'm coming back to my girl by July, yeah, yeah, yeah

[BRIDGE]

Guess what I'm done writing you songs

Far too unstable to settle

I doubt that my doctor's are wrong

So I'll wait by a palm tree, a palm tree, a palm tree

[CHORUS]

I've got friends who (la la la lie)

Will help me pull through (la la la lie la la la lie)

The space man that can't get high

I'm coming back to my girl by July,

[OUTRO]

I've got friends who (la la la lie)

Will help me pull through (la la la lie la la la lie)

This song for a long good-bye

I'm coming back

I'm coming back to my girl

Back to my girl (la la la lie la la la lie)

This song for a long good-bye

I'm coming back to my girl by July

6. Dark Blue

[VERSE 1]

I have, I have you breathing down my neck, breathing down my neck

I don't, don't know what you could possibly expect under this condition so

I'll wait, I'll wait for the ambulance to come, ambulance to come

Pick us up off the floor

What did you possibly expect under this condition so

Slow down, this night's a perfect shade of

[CHORUS]

Dark blue, dark blue

Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I'm here with you

I said the world could be burning and burning down

Dark blue, dark blue

Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you

I said the world could be burning 'til there's nothing but dark blue..

Just dark blue

[VERSE 2]

This flood, this flood is slowly rising up swallowing the ground

Beneath my feet, Tell me how anybody thinks under this condition so

I'll swim, I'll swim as the water rises up, the sun is sinking down

And now all I can see are the planets in a row suggesting it's best that I

Slow down, This night's a perfect shade of

[CHORUS]

Dark blue, dark blue

Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I'm here with you

I said the world could be burning and burning down

Dark blue, dark blue

Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you

I said the world could be burning, dark blue

[BRIDGE]

We were boxing, we were boxing the stars

We were boxing, you were swinging for Mars

And the
