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?)

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 03:06
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

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
