What You Want

Look at what you want
Is it what you have?
Look at what you have
Is it what you want?
You can’t have everything you do want
But you don’t have to have what you don’t
Look at what you want
Is it what you have?
Look at what you have
Is it what you want?
Look at what you want
Is it what you have?
Look at what you have
Is it what you want?

Dove In
03:00

You made me falter
At your alter
When I was praying you’d be mine
But then I gave in
Gave up my praying
And thought I’d preach just to kill time
Said that I was ready
To start going steady
And decided to go face you
I studied your book
Your bible, I looked
And you were ready too
But the water’s always colder when you ease in
Well I dove in too quickly
As soon as I got out
I didn’t have time to dry
It was cold and you knew it
You had a kiss you blew it
And to myself I had to lie
I dove in too quickly
You were a rebound
I couldn’t see around
Cause I thought that I loved you
You were so willing
Dreadful yet filling
And thought you loved me too
So all this preaching
Is leaving me quite weakened
And frankly getting old
So let me front some confidence
And pay for my indulgences
To save my soul
But the water’s always colder when you ease in
Well I dove in too quickly
As soon as I got out
I didn’t have time to dry
It was cold and you knew it
You had a kiss you blew it
And to myself I had to lie
I dove in too quickly
I played myself this time
Well I dove in too quickly
As soon as I got out
I didn’t have time to dry
It was cold and you knew it
You had a kiss you blew it
And to myself I had to lie
I dove in
I dove in
I dove in
Too quickly

Do You Know Who You Are?
03:59
|

Do you know who you are?
But really, do you know who you are?
Who are you trying to impress
Why
I need to know because I’m not sure whom I love or if I love anyone right now
The person that I loved inside and out is now no more
I need you to find yourself
Because we need to find us
And we need to find us
Because there hasn’t been us in who knows how long
Maybe this time will
Rekindle the flames that burned inside us
But part of me has this strange feeling we won’t
Do you know who you are?
But really, do you know who you are?
Who are you trying to impress
Why
I need to know because I’m not sure whom I love or if I love anyone right now
The person that I loved inside and out is now no more
I need you to find yourself
Because we need to find us
And we need to find us
Because there hasn’t been us in who knows how long
Maybe this time will
Rekindle the flames that burned inside us
But part of me has this strange feeling we won’t
The part that makes me angry and cry
Is that our new selves may not comply
Could we be less than friends
I want to love you but I can’t
I need you to find yourself
With or without my help
Because we need to find us
Because there hasn’t been us in who knows how long
Maybe this time will
Rekindle the flames that once burned inside us
But part of me has this strange feeling we won’t
My drive
My reason
My motivation
My girl is gone
My drive
My reason
My motivation
My girl is gone

You shouldn’t have to wait all night
To realize they’re your brothers
You shouldn’t have to wait until she’s gone
To realize that you loved her
You shouldn’t wait until they’re dead
To realize that you missed them
But we do anyway

I never write songs about the ocean
Because nothing ever compares for the metaphor
Then I put my arms around you and “oh shit”
That’s where my hearts now headed for
Lost in your heart
Like the old man and the sea
I’m only twenty years old
Yeah, this is confusing
I’m in love
I’m in love
I couldn’t ask for more
The Jersey boy said to the shore
Live your life with me
Blonde and blue I ask of you
Sand and ocean one and two
Are all I want to see
So live your life with me
Don’t you ask me how I know that you’re it
It may be in part to the way that our hands fit
You throw it right back at me girl
You’re smart and oh so fun
And when you sing
When you sing
You make my heart run, love
I’m in love
I couldn’t ask for more
The Jersey boy said to the shore
Live your life with me
Blonde and blue I ask of you
Sand and ocean one and two
Are all I want to see
So live your life with
It’s not in what you say it’s what you do
So let me live my life with you
It’s not in what you say it’s what you do
So let me live my life with you
I couldn’t ask for more
The Jersey boy said to the shore
Live your life with me
Blonde and blue I ask of you
Sand and ocean one and two
Are all I want to see
So live your life with
I couldn’t ask for more
The Jersey boy said to the shore
Live your life with me
So live your life with me

I put it off, I procrastinate
Like everything else I do, I’ll say this too late
But I can’t make the courage appear
I have no magic except for my ability to stay here
What do I do when I’m falling out of love with you
What do I say
Should I wait another day
What does it mean when you’re “so in love with me”
What do I say
We haven’t spoken in a day
I put it off
Yeah I procrastinate
Like everything else
I’ll say this too late
If I made
Myself clear
All that’s left to do
Is leave here
What do I do when I’m falling out of love with you
What do I say
Should I wait another day
What does it mean when you’re “so in love with me”
What do I say
We haven’t spoken in a day
So I’ll bite my tongue
Again and again and again
And I’ll hold my breath
Just waiting for this moment to end
Til I finally tell you
There’s no more us around the bend.
What do I do when I’m falling out of love with you
What do I say
Should I wait another day
What does it mean when you’re “so in love with me”
What do I say
We haven’t spoken in a day

Show and Tell
00:37
|

|
As many words as you can try to say
I probably still won’t see
Can’t quite tell what you want to portray
Or how it relates to me
Give me a reason, give me a rhyme
I don’t care if I go through hell
Please let me know it was worth my time
Show, don’t tell

Isn’t it cool when you walk how no one follows
Like always behind you is a new slammed door
So you walk back in
With tears coming
Like no ones ever not followed you before
I want your friends to sing along
So when they sing you remember I’m gone
How does it feel to feel me walk out on you
I bet it’s nice, but nice is not you
We sat up on my porch for hours
Until I could mutter what I needed to say
Then the weight of my words
Caused a sudden hurt
And that is why you walked away
I want your friends to sing along
So when they sing you remember I’m gone
How does it feel to feel me walk out on you
I bet it’s nice, but nice is not you
Nice is not you
We sat on your couch
You almost made the words fall out
But then drew them back like you were crazy
I knew what you wanted
And I couldn’t want it
Until it kept me up all night baby
So sing along
I want your friends to sing along
So when they sing you remember I’m gone
How does it feel to feel me walk out on you
I bet it’s nice, but nice is not
I bet it’s nice, but nice is not
I bet it’s nice, but nice is not you

Stupid
01:05
|

|
What’s the score?
If we’re keeping track of stupid
I’m surely losing
It doesn’t always show
But when it does it’s evident
I embarrass you... I embarrass myself
I’m so sorry
I’m so sorry
I don’t want to lose this numbers game
Of back and forths and pluses and minuses
I know I’m stupid so keep on loving me for it

In the Hour of Trial
02:07

In the hour of trial
The time when you left me
I’m sure you were in denial
Of what I could give to thee
When did I waiver?
That’s not what I recall
Please do me a favor
And don’t blame me for the fall
In the hour of trial
I fought not for the end
But it only took a smile
And an “I’m leaving you” again
I offered you the pleasures
I offered you my charm
I promised you the treasures
But all you saw was harm
I want remembrance!
(I want remembrance!)
Of a love that had no semblance!
(Of a love that had no semblance!)
In the hour of trial
I fought not for the end
But it only took a smile
And an “I’m leaving you” again
You gave me a world of woe
And set me below
Love ever soon you’ll see
Love ever I gave to thee
In the hour of trial
I fought not for the end
But it only took a smile
And an “I’m leaving you” again
And an “I’m leaving you” again
And an “I’m leaving you” again

Expectations
We have so many of ourselves and others
Expectations
They are mostly set by mothers and fathers
I don’t give a damn
About what you think
I don’t give a damn
About what you expect from me
I don’t give a damn
I don’t give a damn
So that’s what you can expect
Yeah that’s what you can expect
From me
Expectations
When there’s no scolding eye friends become true
Expectations
When there are no standards, when they’re not judging you
I don’t give a damn
About what you think
I don’t give a damn
About what you expect from me
I don’t give a damn
I don’t give a damn
So that’s what you can expect
Yeah that’s what you can expect
From me
I don’t give a damn
About what you think
I don’t give a damn
About what you expect from me
I don’t give a damn
I don’t give a damn
So that’s what you can expect
Yeah that’s what you can expect
From me

Sleep come and tease me
Like the muffled chatter through the walls
Sleep come and please me
Like the woman I don't have at my call
Sleep come and keep me
Like the lights of which I rant
Sleep come and eat me
So the monsters can't
Well I know I'm stupid, so keep on loving me for it
Well I know I'm stupid, so keep on loving me for it
I know I'm stupid, so keep on loving me for it
I know I'm stupid, so keep on loving me for it
Well I know I'm stupid, so keep on loving me for it
Well I know I'm stupid, so keep on loving me for it
I know I'm stupid, so keep on loving me for it
I know I'm stupid, so keep on loving me for it

Not About Love
03:00
|

|
Get out of my head!
If the dreams I have with you are only horribly infused
Nightmares and fantasies then I'm horribly confused
I wake up content
But then the dream collects
As the day goes on
I want to forget
It's not about love
Get out of my mind!
If the days I have with you are only horribly awkward
Interactions that make me think about the love I offered
I wake up content
But then the dream collects
As the day goes on
I want to forget
It's not about love
I’m in lust with a girl
But I do not have the heart
I’m in lust with a girl
I wanna tell her it’s not love
Before we part
Oh yeah, before we part
Before I wake up
Before I wake up
I’m in lust with a girl
And I do not have the heart
I’m in lust with a girl
I wanna tell her it’s not love
Before we part
Oh yeah, before we part
Before I wake up
Before I wake up
