Sweet Nothings

Tell me the time is gonna slow down one of these days
Tell me the time ain’t going round and round, chasing its own tail
Tell me that there’s a point in my mind grasping backwards all the time
Tell me that there’s a point at all
Sweet nothings mean everything right now
But honey, we’ll get through it anyhow
Just tell me the doubt won’t matter so much one of these days
That my worried thoughts will stop coming around again, expecting that I’ll fail
Tell me that there’s a point when I won’t question myself all the time
Tell me that there’s a point at all
Sweet nothings mean everything right now
But honey, we’ll get through it anyhow
Say something just to get me through the day
Your loving will help me make it out okay
I’ll tell you our love will heal the hurt and we’ll be okay
Tell you the time ain’t gonna wear it down when we’re old and frail
Tell you that there’s a point when we won’t question purpose all the time
Tell you there isn’t one at all
Sweet nothings mean everything right now
But honey, we’ll get through it anyhow
Say something just to get me through the day
Your loving will help me make it out okay

Sun comes around today, like yesterday
Again, again, again, the movie plays
"Don't close your eyes this time," the actors say
But I don't think they've ever felt this way
I can't help myself from getting jaded
Every now and then I get frustrated
Swinging back and forth is so overrated
Will you stick with me when things get complicated?
I hope you do
Wind kicks around the dust, it always does
When questioned on it later, it only shrugs
"Sometimes in life, you try and accept 'because'"
But I don't think that's how it always was
No, I can't help myself from getting jaded
Every now and then I get frustrated
Swinging back and forth is so overrated
Will you stick with me when things get complicated?
I hope you do
(Swinging back and forth is so overrated
Will you stick with me when things get complicated?)

Platitude Adjustment
02:42
|

Dancing leaves and other clichéd imagery haunt me
There’s nothing else that I can seem to see
It’s all for you and there’s so much more I’d like to do
But I can’t pull myself away from platitudes
I’ll lick the flame to make the trite thoughts go away
Unraveled fingers bring me luck or something to say
Sorry muse, waiting on a verbal breakthrough
For now, I’ll list some sappy things and you’ll pretend that they are new
Won’t you sing with me my dear?
Or whistle like the wind?
I can whisper in your ear
When the lights are dimmed
Come to me, my darling girl
I will hold you tight
You’re my starlight, you’re my world
Cheesy words aside, you set my heart alight

Voice Memos

Voice memos in the car count as my therapy
The best that I can do for the time being
I’m in between a job and a hard place right now
Don’t listen to that shit, it’s unrefined
Don’t ask me how I am, assume I’m fine
In a nosedive, but I think I can pull out of it somehow
Fuck, 22 sure didn’t last
Time feels much shorter when it’s passed
I’d be okay with death for like a second
Might be fun to meet a maker of some sort
I’m from LA, you know we love our run-ins with celebrities
I’m really fine I know I should explain
I just use up all my downtime to complain
Did I mention that I’m open to employment opportunities?
Man, 23’s been such a drag
The present tense can tend to lag
Fuck, 22 sure didn’t last
Time feels much shorter when it’s passed
God, getting old’s kind of a scam
Clock in and out, waiting on plans
Fuck, 22 sure didn’t last
Time feels much shorter when it’s passed
Life’s so much sweeter looking back

Words of Affirmation
02:13
|

Come on baby, let’s go driving alone
We’ll roll the windows down
Won’t be our last chance, I don’t think, but who knows?
So let’s go hit the town
And you can say that you love me, though I already knew
Say again that you love me
You know I love to hear it from you
Let’s go a place that you and I haven’t been
We can make a scene
Some quirky kids with self-dyed hair, crooked grins
We’ll act like we’re carefree
And I’ll declare that I love you, hope you already knew
You say again that you love me
You know I love to hear it from you
You can say that you love me, though I already knew
Please say again that you love me
