hang it up

let me rest on you
let me stop awhile
let me rest on you
set it down, hang it up to dry
could I rest on you
the night was without end for so long
let me rest on you
I'll pick it up
continue the song
could I rest on you
the work is so hard
let me rest on you

like how the food tastes better
when it’s made
by someone else’s hand
like how you know the problem
seems so plain
on someone else’s man
hold my hand as we walk away
no looking back
no eyes for yesterday
like how the food tastes better
when it’s made
by someone else’s hand
like how it’s sad but simple
to contract
when someone else expands
you were there and there you’ve stayed
the night we kissed
spring came the next day
like how the food tastes better
when it’s made
by someone else’s hand
like how it’s fucking easy
to complain
when someone else made the plan
take the help they’re your friends anyway
right your ship
live
live another day
like how the food tastes better
how you know the problem
how it’s sad but simple
how it’s fucking easy

candles were meant to be burned
candles were made to be burned
it don’t matter what was said or done to you
oh that candle was built to burn
it don’t matter what was said or done to you
oh that candle was built to burn
it don’t matter all those times when you held your breath
oh that candle was built to burn

you can’t find your pulse in your own neck
so you touch someone else’s
you never could find your pulse
in your own neck
in your own neck
you touch someone else’s for awhile
it would be great if someone reached out now
you need someone to reach out now
you wheel around
you feel someone behind you
but it’s just the light on your shoulder
turn around you feel someone behind you
the light on your shoulder
but you’re cold, cold, cold
cold in the sun
you’re cold, cold, cold
cold in the sun
it would be great if someone reached out
you’re cold, cold, cold
cold in the sun
you’re cold, cold, cold
cold in the sun
ooh
you never could find your pulse
in your own neck
you touch someone else’s for awhile
ooh
the light on your shoulder

where are you going
and where have you been
down to the bottom, you’re back again
too many losses, not enough wins
down at the bottom, up and down again
you can change your mind
down at the bottom, or anytime
don’t be afraid to cry
down at the bottom you can take your time
take your time
will you be leaving
will the tunnel end
endlessly at bottom
empty bottles, empty men
no light or heat here
no shelter from the wind
down at the bottom, will it be spring again
you can change your mind
down at the bottom, or anytime
don’t be afraid, no need to be shy
down at the bottom, you can ease your mind
down
down down down
ease your mind
what are you doing
hey how have you been
unpacking at the bottom
seems like you’re moving in
days with no power
beginning middle end
here and now at the bottom
you decide where you end
you can change your mind
anytime
you can change your mind
down at the bottom, or anytime
don’t be afraid to try
down at the bottom
don’t believe the lie
where are you going
and where have you been
down at the bottom is not the end

like George said

We got up in the morning
but our moonlight had slid away
We got up and like George said:
It’s not always gonna be this grey
If all things must pass
when’s this shit gonna be over with
We got up in the morning
hazy from such little sleeping
We got up and like George said:
look at the floor it needs sweeping
If all things are due to pass
is this part over with yet
By the light of the moon
I sing a melody
oh breathe in the light of the moon
I know she watches me
watches me oh
And if you think you can’t
let me show you how you can
And if you think you can’t
let me show you how you can
And if you think you can’t
let me show you how you can
how you can
oh
Things must pass
All things must pass
But does this part have to go away just yet
Not yet
We got up cuz it was morning
but our moonlight was wanting more
We got up and like George said:
Let out your heart from behind that locked door

Prince in Miami

Saw a tawny dog that looked just like yours
She tried to cross a busy street
Almost got hit and thought better of it
She ran away from home
Love you so deeply
But there’s smoke curling around me
And I already cut my knees
Would you leave if I plead
If I plead
Do I need to plead
If you gotta get out, just get out
And if you’re afraid to explain now
Pray for the blessing of your phone shutting down
Your battery will show you how
Can your family confirm or deny
That they hate me and they wish I would die
We’re all in love but some of us can’t fly
She ran away from home
That’s not your home
It’s definitely you but it’s also me
And it’s us together simultaneously
But oh I still want it legendary
Prince in Miami

oh me
03:10

was it really quiet then
or was all we said drowned out by the sound of setting myself free
is that what’s happening
or am I diving into games
that aren’t worth playing
am I all wrong
am I a little justified
am I justified and still wrong
can I refrain or will I be
swept away, selfish
oh me, oh me
am I ready to go
or have all these thoughts found shelter here
cuz it’s raining in my mind
did you cause this flood to rise
or have we forgotten all of the ways
our sky’s been greying
am I all wrong
am I a little justified
am I justified and still wrong
can I refrain or will I be
swept away, selfish
oh me, oh me
ooh
ooh
did I break my promises
or were all our plans gone, washed away
when you suffered me to drown
am I really lost and found
or am I slip sliding away from the place
that’s worth staying at
am I all wrong
am I a little justified
am I justified and still wrong
can I refrain or will I be
swept away
will I be
will I be
will I be
ooh
ooh
will I ruin my chance to find
oh me
oh me
when does selfishness turn into pure safety
oh me
mmm
oh me
who do you love that’s not just you in there
oh me

heavy pour
03:34
|
|||
|
oh
you never know what you might hear
oh it’s gone it’s gone it’s gone
consult with yourself
you never know what you might hear
consult with yourself
before it’s gone
I’m sorry about the mess and the in the middle-ness
oversharing
that tendency to overpack
you could try being enough
oversharing
unsolicitedly
can’t see the forest for the trees
can’t catch my meaning through the mess and the tears
a heavy pour
it was dark so I couldn’t see you
and I’m too tired to stand
a heavy pour spilling over
consult with yourself
you never know what you might hear
consult with yourself
before it’s gone
the sky looks so different in South Dakota
and you’re watching porn in a convent
oversharing
oh a heavy pour
you could try holding your center
versus that clockwork shotgun splatter
too full
too much to hold so I’m spilling out
consult with yourself
you never know what you might hear
consult with yourself
before it’s gone
consult with yourself
you never know what you might hear
consult with yourself
before it’s gone
it’s a fallacy of youth
to feel like you have to share everything with everybody
I’m still sorry about the mess
I love you and I’ll see you when I get back

get a new tire
04:11
|
|||
|
you get up and your house is all piles
you started when you felt better than you do today
you can’t stop driving around on a flat tire
even though the dash light is on
it keeps getting driven on
til it gets eaten up from the inside
and you have to
get a new tire
you get up and your face just hangs there
and it aches to be alive
now you’re drinking old glasses of water
that have sat there
from when you tried to do something good
do something good for yourself
a few days, oh a few days ago
but you have to
make a new try
oh make a new try
we’re older now than we’ve ever been
but we’ll never be as young as this again
you get up and you lay right back down
all you do is sleep and bleed
how would your friends describe you in three words
I don’t know Brad
answering these bland questionnaires
these bland ass dating app questionnaires
til you get eaten up from the inside
and you have to
get a new life
oh make a new try
oh oh just go get a new tire
we’re older now than we’ve ever been
but we’ll never be as young as this again
older now than we’ve ever been
but we’ll never be as young as this again
older now than we’ve ever been
but we’ll never be as young as this again

I’m marrying an hour
an hour and a half
see what it’s like
to fully commit
for a little bit
you sweep up the floor
but it doesn’t seem to do much
to the filth
I’m marrying an hour
an hour and a half
I’ll get back to you on that
sweeping doesn’t do much to the filth
but the big pieces do come up
I’m marrying an hour
keeping your jaw tight
doesn’t make you interesting
just locked up
so used to being held up by things
that don’t hold you very well
I’m marrying an hour
I’ll get back to you on that
sweeping doesn’t do much to the filth
but the big pieces do come up
but the big pieces do
oh they come up
I’m marrying an hour
and a half
I’m marrying an hour
Ooh
I’m marrying an hour

this might not end well
things can change
it could get ugly
I’m the only one that lives here
the only one today
go on and lick your wounds
the world will remain
staring into the white sky
there’s a blank page
steady now
the world remains
the world remains
clear your head
make a costume change
there will be room for you
the world remains
every shape is just a circle
that’s had a little chipped away
the world didn’t end
it remained
the world remains
can you hear it falling
the rain upon your skin
wash you top to bottom
fresh from where you’ve been
can you hear it falling
the rain upon your skin
wash you top to bottom
fresh from where you’ve been
the world remains
this might not end well
things can change
it could get ugly
but the world remains
shake off your grieving shroud
switch from pause to play
you should be so proud
proud
the world awaits

I used to believe that the world was good
But that’s been trampled out
I used to be good at keeping spirits light
But no more
I was the one who thought people were decent at the end of the day
Then I was drained of blood and light
Eyes half closed, cheek to the floor
Now I see it a different way
You’ve gotta claw your way to the sun
The light won’t always reach you where you are
You’ve gotta drag your body to higher ground
I might have stayed cheek to the floor
If it weren’t for the people around
Reminding me there’s more
I used to believe that love was enough
That it washed away all sins
I used to think love made everything excusable
I was the one who thought all people were decent at the end of the day
Then I was drained of blood and light
Eyes half closed, cheek to the floor
Now I see it a different way
You’ve gotta claw your way to the sun
The light won’t always reach you where you are
You’ve gotta drag your body to higher ground
I might have stayed cheek to the floor
If it weren’t for the people around
Reminding me there’s more
Oh there’s still light to be found
Some people are good
But not everyone deserves your love
Oh you can carve out your spot in the rock of the world
If fear is a choice
Then joy is too
Pick up your cheek from the floor
Keep the people around who know there’s more
And carve your name in the sun
