Right Lines
I haven’t felt this in a while now
Where I forget to take a breath
And I’m hearing all the right lines
And they’re getting to my head
There’s an ease with which you look at me
And I never would have guessed
That you’d be laying down the right lines
And I’d wanna color in
Easy it’s so easy
When it’s right
Easy it’s so easy
But not tonight
It’s been a minute since you filled my glass
And the fog is lifting slow
But we’re both resolved to stay here
‘Till the lights come on at close
There’s so much that we could talk about
But I’m staring at the floor
And you’re tuggin’ at my coat now
‘Cuz I won’t go through that door
Easy it’s so easy
When it’s right
Easy it’s so easy
But not tonight

Fidgety
I’ve never been one for board games but you play ‘em all real good
I just can’t seem to find the patience to sit and think about my next move
You’re so smooth when you roll the dice you’re so deliberate when you strategize
I’m just fidgety and I apologize way too much
Oh I’m OK
No I don’t need ya
Thanks anyway
No I don’t need ya
I over-analyze the small things that don’t matter in the end
The things you’ve instantly forgotten that might keep me up past ten
And that seems late now I’m past 29 ,I’m so much older than I feel inside
But can you keep up with me long enough to keep this alive
Oh I’m OK
No I don’t need ya
Thanks anyway
No I don’t need ya
No I don’t need ya
No I don’t need ya

Patience
Please forgive me I can’t believe I’m this wrecked
From the distance that I perceive is between you and me
It’s all in my head
I’m cerebral and sometimes I’m needy as shit
I over-think things, try to talk through my own mess
I get so nervous when I get no answers
I’m sorry when the doubt creeps in
I believe you when you say you’re in this too
Have patience with me boo
And I speak truth and I know that you do too
Have patience with me
Please release me I can’t believe I’m obsessed to this level
I’ve never been in such agony, oh so much agony, oh so much
‘Cuz in the past weeks everything’s moved super slow
You’re no angel and I’m realizing I’ve spent too much time
Spent too much time, pretending that you could feel
I don’t believe you when you say you’re in this too
I’ve lost patience with you boo
And I speak truth and I don’t believe you do
I’ve lost patience with you

Snacks
Guess I’ll have one
Please just give me one
No don’t you leave me with a handful brimming
So much it tumbles right over my thumb
Only just the one
Don’t be deceiving with two halves of one
That’s really one point two of them
So let’s not be so greedy to want just one
And then take three
Guess I’ll have one
Please just give me one
No don’t you leave me with a handful brimming
So much it tumbles right over my thumb
Only just the one
Don’t be deceiving with two halves of one
That’s really one point two of them
So let’s not be so greedy to want just one
And then take three

The Luck
Well you say I’ve got the luck
‘Cuz I’ve got everything you’re looking for in a lover
And you say I’ve got the looks
‘Cuz I’ve got everything you’re looking to look at
But I’m missing one thing
I don’t have the smarts
I’m not too intelligent like
I don’t have the brains to restrain
Myself from you
Well I tried to ward you off
‘Cuz you’re no good, you’re no good, you’re no good for me, no
Tried to remember all that’s wrong
But I get distracted when you keep coming ‘round
But I’m missing one thing
I don’t have the smarts
I’m not too intelligent like
I don’t have the brains to restrain
Myself from you
Myself from you

New Mexico
There it goes, it’s getting old
It’s like a filament that once was bold
But now it’s burning out
Watch that heat, a steady flow
It’s like a road in New Mexico
Where we can see
The curve of the Earth in the distance
Makes us forget that planned obsolescence
Take your hand
It doesn’t matter where it goes now, no
Fuck our plans
There’s never anything to show for ‘em anyway
Give me something that I can hold
That I can hold
That I can hold
