dont let your love back in
dont let your love back in
without the distance then the healing cant begin
dont let your love back in
dont call him when youre blue
dont call him when youre blue
youll tell him all the things you both know cant be true
dont call him when youre blue
dont fight being alone
dont fight being alone
it takes the loneliness to see how much youve grown
dont fight being alone

Only a Fool

i made a mess / can you clean it up?
dont let me take the fall this time
only a fool would follow every rule
lets not be fools tonight
you say that love is not everything
youve seen a dozen boys take flight
only a fool would fly away from you
lets not be fools tonight
when you show up, i wont make a sound
i'll keep my stupid mouth shut tight
only a fool would try and talk things through
lets not be fools tonight

back to the first time that we met
i didnt know your body yet
i didnt know my body either but then one summer i let
you have the keys to heaven's gate
it was quite clear we couldnt wait
we took things slow but there was never a debate
what a sight to set upon
two kids naked on the front lawn
one night and suddenly, those kids are gone
and now we're fighting to be friends
darling, this is not the end
i'll keep fighting you until we love again
we were strangers long ago
we're strangers once again, i know
introductions are forthcoming but only if we say so
and in the past youd run
when you said our time was done
knowing deep down that our time had just begun
every night we would meet
and have it out right on the street
and then we would have it out between the sheets
and now we're fighting to be friends
darling, this is not the end
i'll keep fighting you until we love again

over the weekend, i heard a story of you
hows it feel to always be in the news?
you barely speak so i almost didnt know
but they use your voice when promoting the show
youre sounding good when youre reading the ad
though you focus on things that are making you mad
i wouldnt dare to call you a friend
i'll have to wait till monday to hear you again
i remember
you gave me your number / you gave me a look
hate to admit it but that's all that it took
the rest of the night things went as they should
now youre here in my bedroom and up to no good
these are the memories we cant rearrange
i havent seen you in a decade and change
i wouldnt dare to call you a friend
i'll have to wait till monday to hear you again

one day i'll let you down
we're doing fine but just for now
when every day stops feeling new
i'll keep on trying if you want me to
one day you'll let me go
with nothing said but we'll both know
but we've still got time to lose
i'll keep on trying if you want me to
one day life will begin
with someone else i'll never win
i'll say to them what i said to you
i'll keep on trying if you want me to

Don't Let It Be Him
02:04

there aint nothing like a lover that dont ever stay
they get whatever they came for / then go the other way
he said "i love you" and a bunch of other shit
youre none the wiser cause it fooled you, didnt it?
its about motherfucking time you got a win
just please dont let it be him
there aint nothing like a lover that fucks really well
the kind who works real hard but you can never tell
thats not love / thats just something people do
but we call it "making love" so people get confused
its about motherfucking time you got a win
just please dont let it be him

Trust Me, I Know

hey love, go back inside
i'll take the couch tonight
i know just what i said
i dont deserve the bed
trust me, i know
hello friend, im back again
youve got the sheets still out
i wish it wasnt so
the third night in a row
trust me, i know
hey love
i hate when i make you cry
i gave you all my words
somehow you never heard
trust me, i know

you guided me through the seven sins
and then through living hell
you might as well have ruined me but
i ruined you as well
and since you left its only gotten better
didnt say "fare thee well" / just put it in a letter
that i'll never send / its buried in the closet
im keeping your half of the security deposit
and no one knows what it means to feel
until they feel the end
a ruining can be good for you, boy
every now and then
and i truly believe we're better off friends
you broke me down again and again and again
our time is buried in the closet
i'll give you half of the security deposit

I Think I'm An Alcoholic

it goes down the same every night
i cant draw the line
time to make up your mind
the red or the white
i let them both breathe and feel no regret
pull from the bottle till theres not a thing left
if theres a lesson, i havent learned it yet
wipe the dirt from your eyes
you woke up outside
time to speak your mind
...tongue-tied
i know the words but im bound to forget
its a relief when i make it to sunset
if theres a lesson, i havent learned it yet

Come October

come october, you'll see
all you were waiting for wasnt me
grim and fragile and fire
im just the trees, just a girl, just a liar
oh how we hate to let you down
"better to've loved..." and round and round
last november, and he
gambled his way, made a march to the sea
parlor generals dare say
but youre made of earth, made of rivers and clay
oh how i'd hate to let you down
"better next time..." and round and round

Round and Round

this is the song / this is the verse
this is the part that gets written first
and its my favorite part of all
in case you cant recall
its my favorite part of all
there is no chorus in this song
some people claim that this is dead wrong
but i know that this is right
im not gonna lose this fight
cause i know that this is right
here comes the end / here comes the sun
in thirty seconds we'll be done
dont let the ending bring you down
keep searching for that sound
and we'll go round and round
