Say something, say something
Honest and... honest and beautiful
Why don't we make it blue
Like we used to
Like we haven't done for a while
And it was never true
But it felt good
Until it went out of style
In winter freeze
Who has the coldest feet
Staying clean
So far, and yet I don't see
No self
So what am I working for?
No path
So what am I going towards?
I feel
I'll never again be alone
And neither will you
Why don't we make it blue
Like we used to
Like we haven't done for a while
And it was never true
But it felt good
To hurt myself in denial
And I've been feeling green
From what I've seen
And I'll be that way for a bit
And that's a frequent theme
It's familiar
Running headlong into a dream
In summer heat
Who has the weakest knees
Looking through the screen
Since I see the world in RGB
No self
So what are you working for?
No path
So what are we going towards?
I feel
We'll never again be alone
I gotta answer the phone
Why don't we make it blue
Like we used to
Like we haven't done for a while
And it was never true
But it felt good
Until it went out of style
And I've been seeing red
From what you said
But I can't stay mad for that long
And I'd be sooner dead
Than I'd forget
The joy I have with you by my side
But I wanna make it blue
And I've been feeling green
And I've been seeing red
Why don't we make it blue
Why don't we make it blue
Roses
Fishing out my phone just to see what they said
Again and again
To leave them on read
Digging up the loam so I plant them just right
They end up in my side
And I'm petrified
Roses
How do I respond to that
Roses
How can I respond to that
Roses
How should I respond to what you're feeling right now
Please tell me how
Roses
Playing with the knife while I'm baking a cake
Bid my hand to stay
For all goodness' sake
Picking out a scythe so I cut the right ones
Then see what it's done
To everyone
Roses
How do I respond to that
Roses
How can I respond to that
Roses
How should I respond to what you're feeling right now
Please tell me how
Roses
Squeezing on the thorn
Roses
Bleeding through the morn
Roses
Take another tour
Roses
Not sure I need more of them
Roses
How do I respond
Roses
How can I respond
Roses
How do I respond
Roses
How should I respond to that
Roses
How do I respond to that
Roses
How can I respond to that
Roses
How should I respond to what you're feeling right now
Please tell me how
Roses
How do I respond to that
Roses
How can I respond to that
Roses
How should I respond to what you're feeling right now
Please tell me how
(Roses, roses)
Just tell me how
(Roses)
Roses, roses, roses
I wish
You'd just leave me all alone
But I can't think that
And I wish
You always wanted me around
But I can't think that
My mind
Just gets away from me
My mind
Just gets away from me
My mind
Just gets away from me
My mind
She's always out of reach
I wish
You'd just let me be in pain
But I don't want that
And I wish
You never met me at all
But I don't want that
My mind
Just gets away from me
My mind
Just gets away from me
My mind
Just gets away from me
My mind
She's always out of reach
My mind
Just gets away from me
My mind
Just gets away from me
My mind
Just gets away from me
My mind
Just gets away from
You hear how I talk
I watch how you walk
The light is fading
No point in waiting
(Oh, no!)
Oh, don't pretend
It's not the end
We'll love again
It's not the end
We don't have the words
We see things in thirds
Don't tell your likeness
You're always like this
(Don't go!)
Oh don't pretend
It's not the end
We'll love again
It's not the end
The air in the clearing
Unplaceable feeling
Eyes dim
Hands part
Breathe in
Take heart
That's life
We bend
Like trees
In wind
(Eyes dim, hands part)
So in the mean time
(Breathe in, take heart)
Just trust the incline
(Tuck and roll!)
Oh don't pretend
It's not the end
We'll love again
It's not the end
Oh, don't pretend
It's not the end
We'll love again
It's not the end
Let's not pretend
It's not the end
Oh, we'll love again
Now that we got some satisfaction
I need another plan of action
Our labored self analysis
Hasn't cured this paralysis
'Cause something ancient's haunting me, and
Falling back asleep's daunting me, and
I can't stay still at this point anyway
I damn this restless leg
But I get up and wander through the night into day
I get up and try to find the girl that's okay
I get up and wonder why my dreams go so far
I get up and go outside and look at the stars
The night goes on and on and on and on
And only further from the dawn
I curse this time dilation
I think I need a dream ablation
One of these nights I'll never get out
These arms and legs and voice will give out
For now forget the meaning, I escape
And wake upright and screaming
I get up and wander through the night into day
I get up and try to find the girl that's okay
I get up and wonder why my dreams go so far
I get up and go outside and look at the stars
I've already explained to you people
I don't sleep very well at night sometimes
(Les, son-)
I've already explained to you people
I don't sleep very well at night sometimes
(Les, son-)
I've already explained to you people
I don't sleep very well at night sometimes
So I get up
I go out, I take a walk, I look up at the sky
I look at the stars
(So I get up)
So I get up and wander through the night into day
I get up and try to find the girl that's okay
I get up and wonder why my dreams go so far
I get up and go outside and look at the stars
I get up
('Cause something ancient's haunting)
I get up
(Falling back asleep's daunting)
I get up
(I can't stay still at this point)
I get up
(Might as well just blow this joint)
I get up
(One of these nights I'll never)
I get up
(These arms and legs will sever)
I get up
(For now forget the meaning)
I get up
(And wake upright and screaming)
I get up
Behind the counter
Close encounter
Tap on the glass
Of your enclosure
And yeah you know
You're one of them
But they still put you
Into that pen
Don't lose the light in your eyes to them
You never need to apologize to them
'Cause the trees and the dunes
And the sun and the moon
Are all just as much for you
And even when you love them
It doesn't mean you like them
And even if you like them
It doesn't mean you love them
Loving every person
Is a fallacy
There's more than one emotion
For humanity
End of the bottle
End of the toke
Gotta throttle
Tomorrow's yoke
And yeah they think
You're something else
But you don't wanna
Live on their shelf
Don't lose the spark in your heart to them
You never need to stop or start for them
'Cause the blue and the green
And the sky and sea
Are all just as much for me
(For you, for you)
And even when you love them
It doesn't mean you like them
And even if you like them
It doesn't mean you love them
Loving every person
(Even when you love them)
Is a fallacy
(Doesn't mean you like them)
There's more than one emotion
(Even if you like them)
For humanity
(Doesn't mean you love them)
Even when you love them
Doesn't mean you like them
Even if you like them
Doesn't mean you love them
And even when you love them
It doesn't mean you like them
And even if you like them
It doesn't mean you love them
But
If you see a man in black robes, do not engage
I repeat do not engage
Evacuate immediately, evacuate
The girl in the raincoat is doing her thing
Breaking down boxes and waiting for spring
Ex frat boy thinks he's such a crack up
He brought a toy gun and he says stick 'em up
"Watch your step, it's a holdup, dude
If you get too close, ill have to shoot you too"
She tries to ignore it, she thinks about zen
And as she walks by he stabs with the pen
She stabs back with the sword and the patron's in half
And I don't really blame her for taking that tack
When your cigs are out and your craft beer's flat
To you it's poker man, to me this is my life
Won't you be nice to the girl in the raincoat?
The girl in the raincoat is doing her best
She doesn't get breaks so she takes a little rest
Distant exec thinks they don't have time
He brought a toy whip and he says get in line
"Watch out, now we gotta take these chairs
If you're not cleaning you're leaning so you're sitting on air"
She tries to ignore it, she thinks about zen
He thinks about pay cuts and stabs with the pen
She stabs back with the sword and the boss is in half
And she's not the only one who ever thought like that
When your labor's high and your shares are short
We must not allow a mineshaft gap!
Won't you be nice to the girl in the raincoat?
Have you been inside her head?
It's like the whole world wants you dead
Backwards love again and again and again
It's like the whole world stabs with the pen
She stabs back with the sword and the planet's in half
And who could really blame her for doing all that?
When your god is gone and the end is nigh
Kill this child, she's an abomination
Get out of my mind!
Won't you be nice to the girl in the raincoat?
To the girl in the raincoat
To the girl in the raincoat
To the girl in the raincoat
To the girl
Won't you be nice to the girl in the raincoat?
People are filling up elevators
Hands full of coffee, ambition and luck
Driving their cars and flying their planes
Setting sail just to settle a sale
Measure life in ups and downs
What is it for? What is it for?
Everyone can see us trying
So what can you do? What can you do?
Measure life in wins and losses
What does it do? What does it do?
Everybody knows we're dying
So where are you now?
Where are you now, now
People are logging in on their browsers
Carts full of pyramid fixes for shame
So busy recruiting and buying and selling, like
It's human nature to be your own boss
Measure life in complex numbers
What is it for? What is it for?
Everyone can see us trying
So what can you do? What can you do?
Measure life in ones and zeroes
What does it do? What does it do?
Everybody knows we're dying
So where are you now?
Where are you now, now
People are trying to figure it all out
Everyone's trying to figure it all out
Everyone's trying to figure it out
But sooner or later our time will run out
Measure life in man-made metrics
What is it for? What is it for?
Everyone can see us trying
So what can you do? What can you do?
Measure life in any fashion
What does it do? What does it do?
Everybody knows we're dying
So where are you now?
Where are you now, now
Measure life in ups and downs
(Where are you now)
(Where are you now)
Measure life in wins and losses
(Where are you now)
(Where are you now)
Measure life in complex numbers
(Where are you now)
(Where are you now)
Measure life in ones and zeroes
(Where are you now)
Measure life in man-made metrics
Measure life in any fashion
Lost time is always hurting
And beatings taken earning
School wasn't us
Make it up with modern flirting
We've time to do what we wanna do
We've time to get over ourselves
So please just last for me
Forget the past with me
We are still here
We persevere
We are not done
Let's have some fun
While we are still young
While we are still young
Let's have some fun
While we are still young
Mean girls are stuck defending
Broken hearts and wounds unending
Work isn't us
Make it up with reckless spending
We've time to do what we want to do
We've time to get over ourselves
So please just twirl for me
Forget the world with me
(We are still here)
We are still here
We persevere
We are not done
Let's have some fun
While we are still young
While we are still young
"What if" is always blinding
Real life unsatisfying
I am not myself
But I can be her if I want to
We've time to do what we came to do
We've time to embody ourselves
So please hold on for me
Embrace plasticity
We are still young
While we are still young
While we are still young
While we are still young
Let's have some fun while we are still young
Love is built
It doesn't just happen to you
You have to try to see it through
You have to work to make it true
Love is real
It doesn't come from way out far
It isn't written in the stars
It can find you where you are
But love is made
And on its own it fades away
It needs a comfy place to stay
So keep your arms around your heart
And it takes luck
And it takes trust
But it makes everything, everything better
If you want it, it is worth it to try
I love you more after these years than I have ever loved anyone before
I love you more after these years than I have ever loved anyone before
From the first time to the last
To the future from the past
Brick by brick
Hand in hand
Mouth to mouth
Made this I love you
Love is not a mission, every part is your decision
Love is not prescribed, it's a mutual design
Love is not a mission, every part is your decision
Love is not prescribed, it's a mutual design
It takes luck
And it takes trust
But it makes everything, everything better
If you want it, it is worth it to try
I love you more after these years than I have ever loved anyone before
I love you more after these years than I have ever loved anyone before
From the first time to the last
To the future from the past
Brick by brick
Hand in hand
You and I
Make this I love you
Love is built
It doesn't just happen to you
You have to try to see it though
You have to work to make it true
Staring at the sun
So bright it can blind you
Lose sight of what's become
The light still finds you
The small things fade far too quickly I think
Joy disappears in the time that you blink
So hold on tight when you shut your eyes
So nothing at night but hope crystalizes
You give me your eyes
And I wanna give you mine
So I can see me
And you will see you with time
To you it's nothing
That you treat me like a queen
To me it's something
Something that we've never seen
Built the pedestal
So high it can scare me
One heart, two ventricles
There's room to share
The good things fade far too quickly I think
Joy disappears in the time that you blink
So hold on tight when you shut your eyes
So nothing at night but hope crystalizes
You give me your eyes
And I wanna give you mine
So I can see me
And you will see you with time
To you it's nothing
That you treat me like a queen
To me it's something
Something that we've never seen
I wanna give you mine
You will see you with time
You treat me like a queen
Something that we've never seen
Is this the only thing still dividing us
Our past lives' severed head trauma omnibus
Round and round the words fall down in the carpet
Pound for pound the best around once we start it over
I have learned to hike
Down to the bus stop
And you can ride my bike
I promise you'll be just fine
No matter how lonely the night
I know we'll be alright
Cause you tell me and I tell you it's fine
It's fine
Is this the only thing still withholding us
This sense of righteous guilt that's eroding us
Day by day we stay the same while we sell it
Everything will one day sting, might as well be right now
I have learned to hike
Down to the bus stop
And you can ride my bike
I promise you'll be just fine
No matter what we think at night
I know we'll be alright
Cause I tell you and you tell me it's fine
It's fine
It's good
it's beautiful
Is this the final time in the chrysalis
Will we soon spread our wings and forget all this
If you ever find out that you're sick of me
I will remember you in this melody, our harmony
I have learned to hike
Down to the bus stop
And you can ride my bike
I promise you'll be just fine
No matter how lonely the night
I know we'll be alright
Cause you tell me and I tell you it's fine
(We fight, but)
I tell you and you tell me it's fine
(We fight, but)
You hold me and I hold you every time
That is both true and beautiful
Thank you
