"Plane Crash In C"

If you're scared and it shows cause you're watching them grow
And traveling blows when you're out of road
And when you jump up the earth wants you back

Your resentment grow till you're all alone
But you're so smart how could they not know
When you're standing there in good humored white

And how do you do it?
And make it seem effortless
When its all the stupid things
So overwhelming to me
Like paying my bills
Or showing up for work early
Or laughing at your jokes

When you first said that anything goes
Or a problem is a task disguised in work clothes
That's when i knew i had to move
And do you do it?
And make it seem delicate
When its all the stupid things
So damn confusing to me
Like talking it through
Controlling my temper
Like letting it go
Saying please forgive me
Or laughing at your jokes

I have no idea what's been going on lately
And i just wish you'd come over and explain things

And i have no idea what's been going on lately
And i just wish you'd come over and explain things

I have no idea what's been going on lately
And i just wish you'd come over and explain things

I have no idea what's been going on lately
And i just wish you'd come over and explain things

Why do they do it?
Show up anyway
When they know that damn well
There is no room for promotions out here
And maybe it's wise
And maybe i'm just stupid
For laughing at your jokes

"Bulletproof"

If you think you're bulletproof, you're right
Because you've weathered all my slings and arrows well
If you think i'm paranoid, that's fine
Cause i've got evidence on my side

If you want to come over tonight
That's fine because i have no plans
Please be kind, don't drop the rock on me

How many blows to the belly will this thing take
That we refer to as our true love?
We both knows it dead and its been dying for some time
But we refuse to let it go

Please be kind, don't drop the rock on me
Don't go outside and discover that you like being free
Cause if you did you'd be dropping the rock on me

"August"

August
I'll see you soon
Under yellow moons
Where i'll gather what's left of you

And august
I'm on your side
Or did i speak to soon?
Now we've crossed the great divide

Someday we'll meet beyond the stars
And it'll be away from here
Somebody we'll meet beyond the time and the bars
And it will be away from here

August
August of last year
Before the leaves disappeared
Told me you were not the one

August
Something in your eyes
Or was it that you lied?
Told me not to take it to heart

Someday we'll meet beyond the stars
And it will be away from here
Someday we'll meet beyond the limits of who we are
And it will be away from here

Someday we'll meet beyond the stars
And it'll be away from here
Someday we'll meet beyond the land that you call miles away
Away from here

"Pictures Of Success"

Build your own television receiver
Staying home can't be that bad for me
'Cause i'm not scared
But i'd like some extra spare time
Easily earn me big money

I'm a modern girl but i fold in half so easily
When i put myself in the picture of success
I could learn world trade
Or try to map the ocean

When you're dead
In hospitals and freeways
When you're dead
In resting homes and clinics
When you're dead
It must be nice to finish
When you're dead

I've had it with you
And mexico can fucking wait
And all of those french films about trains
'Cause i'm not scared
But i'd like some extra spare time
I'm not scared
But the bills keep changing colors

When you're dead
In hospitals and freeways
When you're dead
In dress shirts and neckties
When you're dead
In apartments and on beaches
When you're dead

They say california is a recipe for a black hole
And i say i've got my best shoes on
I'm ready to go (ready to go)
Ready to go
Ready to go
I'm ready to go
Ready to go
Ready to go
Ready to go
I'm ready to go
Ready to go
Ready to go
Ready to go
I'm ready to go
Ready to go
Ready to go
Ready to go
I'm ready to go

These are times that can't be weathered and
We have never been back there since then

These are times that can't be weathered and
We have never been back there since then

These are times that can't be weathered and
We have never been back there since then

These are times that can't be weathered and
We have never been back there since then

"Wires And Waves"

There are twelve hours
There's a day between us
And you called to say you're sorry in your own way

There are oceans and waves and wires between us
And you called to say you're getting older

And sometimes planes they smash up in the sky
And sometimes lonely hearts they just get lonelier

How did you survive all those fires and floods?
How did you survive your insufferable friends?
It was the plow that broke the western plains
And its just my heart gets rejected by my veins

And sometimes planes they smash up in the sky
And sometimes lonely hearts they just get lonelier
And lonelier
And lonelier
And lonelier
And lonelier
And lonelier
And lonelier
And lonelier

And sometimes planes they smash up in the sky
And sometimes lonely hearts they just get lonelier

"Science Vs. Romance"

I used to think if i could realize i'd die
Then i would be a lot nicer
Used to believe in a lot more
Now i just see straight ahead

That's not to say i don't have good times
But as for my days
I spend them waiting

Crash sites keep me up at night
Impact division it splits in two
Directly underneath you

As for those things (as for those things)
That act as markers in your life
But in between (but in between)
You can't remember
And so it seems (and so it seems)
That you've grown up and over me (up and over me)
And these silly things (these silly things)
I like to dwell on

Test sites keep me up at night
Chainlink and meters
I talk to you
It's cold out there
But i'm telling you
I'm lonely too

Facts versus romance
You go and call yourself the boss
But we're not robots inside a grid

Text versus romance
You go and add it all you want
Still we're not robots inside a grid

Zeros and ones

"Go Ahead"

If you want to find yourself by travelling out west
Or if you want to find somebody else that's better
Go ahead
Go ahead

If you want to buy a brand new fancy automobile
Or if you want to build a place up in coldwater canyon
Go ahead
Go ahead
Go ahead
I wish you would
Go ahead

If you want to hold your own hand going up that cliff
Or if you want to just hold back cause you ain't up to it
Go ahead
Go ahead
Go ahead
Be my guest
Go ahead

If you want to hold on to the first girl that you meet
Or if you want to settle down and plant roses at my feet
Go ahead
Go ahead
Go ahead
I wish you would
Go ahead

If you want to have your cake and eat it too
And if you want to have other people watch you while you eat it
Go ahead
Go ahead
Go ahead
Be my guest
Go ahead

If you want better things
I want you to have them
If you want better things
Then i want you to have them
Go ahead
Go ahead
Go ahead
I wish you would
Go ahead
Go ahead
I wish you would
Go ahead

"Small Figures In A Vast Expanse"

Let's try a new change
Let's try a new change
Let's try a new change
Then we'll go on back to the old one
Like we've done so many times before

And i'll buy a new brain
I'll buy a new brain
You'll administer new pain
Then we'll go on back to our old school
That we left so many times before

And you'll ask for more
And more

I've just begun a new phase
I'm trying these days
I've watched you close
I'm versed in all your ways
I'm just beginning to realize
I'll get you one of these days

But in the end
If it was all pretend
Isn't that what friends are for?
But this is real life
It's supposed to be real life
So let's pretend that we're not bored
That we exist and that we're resolved
To real things happening to me

(2, 3, 4)

"Spectacular Views (Salute My Shorts!)"

When we broke down
In that small mining town
I was ready for quitting
My guard was down
It was summer all day
In your dad's chevrolet
And so we decided to stay

And we want spectacular views
If we're to stay for the weekend
And you swear
There'll be no bad news
If we stay, if we stay without looking back

We'll take a small private room
With a window please
If it opens that's fine
To let in the breeze
We've been waiting all year
For someone to just say
Everyone fucks up it's going to be ok

And the prop planes
They fly overhead
You can hear them returning
And maybe it's all in my head
But i'll save my complaints for tomorrow

And when you got sick i was sad for some days
But i'm feeling much better
I just sleep it away
Now it's just like
We never was
Some things go bad just because

And the freeways
They go coast to coast
They've taken away all my good friends
And i don't care if you're broke
You can't stay here tomorrow

And the dreams have come back again
But this time i'm not just watching them
Its me as pilot instead
And i land the plane all by myself
No you can't stay here tomorrow

"Rest Of My Life"

There are worse ways for a guy to spend his time
Than to sit and think of you
I think i'd marry you
Just your smile
Leaves me satisfied
Though you're not mine

So for the rest of my life
I'm gonna search for someone just like you

And we tend the garden all day long
Watching history unfold
And i'd be enough
And you'd be enough
And we'd grow old

So for the rest of my life
I'm gonna search for someone just like you

For the rest of my life
I'm gonna search for someone just like you

Yeah, for the rest of my life
I'm gonna search for someone just like you

"We'll Never Sleep (God Knows We'll Try)"

Stealing away into the night
Won't get you any higher
We'll never sleep
God knows we'll try
The hospital is closed

And how long will it last
Before we go insane?

We circle your uncle's parking lot
Just to se how many
Times that we can before we get caught
You guessed on twenty

And how long will you stare
Before i look away?
I don't wanna go

Begged them to stay they're on holiday
Just close the door
You can watch final four
And just fall away

Sailing away just isn't right
Just because you're angry
If you go
I think i might
Lose it all together
And how long will we last
Before we go insane?
I don't wanna

"Always"

I should've known
With a boy like you
Your middle name is always
I'd always love you
Uh-huh yeah
You let the needle drop
I think that you could do so much better
Those conventions are taking their toll on you

The phantom is disguised
It's horrifyin' right before your eyes
The phantom is inside

And i should've known
With a boy like you
Your middle name is always
I'd always want you
Uh-huh yeah

The phantom is disguised
It's horrifyin' right before your eyes
The phantom is inside
It's hideous right before your eyes
The phantom he's watchin' you
The phantom is watchin' you
You

"Don't Deconstruct"

Something is changing inside of me
Colors seem darker in light
And i don't know what that means
But it's not a good sign

You can just add them upthen you could memorize prehistoric bones
All of those old memories you can push them out and prep yourself for brand new information

Don't deconstruct and then fill me in
I'm not that basic i swear
I've had enough of break downs and diagrams

Judging from picture books apparently heaven is a partly cloudy place
And if the sky opened up and they let you in and gave you a formal invitation
Would you go?
You can work for home

"Spectacular Views"

In steep cliffs with rocks all piled up mysteries of your passing luck
Ages past shells and bits of bone forming new limestone
To give things their turn
There are no bad words for the coast today
You never knew why you felt so good
In the strangest of places
Like in waiting rooms and long lines that made you late and mall parking lots
On holidays
There are no bad words for the coast today
When we hold our breath until nothing's left
It all starts to fade
We can see the stars from where the birds make their homes
Staring back at us
Indifferent but distanced perfectly projected endlessly
It's so fucking beautiful
There are no bad words for the coast today
Then you ask what's a palisade
And if we're too late for happiness?

"Three Hopeful Thoughts"

All this talk about your sweet girlfriend
Is starting to pay off
And the charms that you got from travel
Are starting to wear off

And i hope that you
Smile tonight
Watching the last of your friends arrive
You'll smile and shake their hands

And the hero that you'd hoped you'd be
Never seemed to show up
And if i can keep from talking
There won't be time to give up

And i hope that i
Drive tonight
Into the last of the great sunrises
I'll smile and wave my hand
Goodbye

If things don't work out
Quite the way you planned
It's almost half past two and
I've begun to hate the way you
Smile so smile

And i hope that you
Close your eyes
Block out the pain
Of a thousand lives
I hope that you
Die tonight
Just close your eyes
There goes the light
Smile i'll brave it
While you wave your hand
Goodbye
