Plinko

I’m not really mad
I’m just up and down all day long
Like a little seesaw
I’ll let Plinko choose my decisions
Is life like a game show that I watch through the night?
I get back from a trip
I tried to reset a couple of things
Something is missing (something’s definitely missing)
Like a car without a transmission
At full speed, with no gas
Let the pedal release
Nobody knows exactly what they want
Nobody knows exactly what they want
I need a frame for all those mental pictures of us
With your head on my shoulder
All your skin and your bones that the light finds
Makes a shape that I know like a coastline
And I never got to say that I like your eyes
Am I losing it?
Nobody knows exactly what they want
Nobody knows exactly what they want
I learned to grin with no teeth
I lowered all my expectations
I’ll wait it out just like a nosebleed
I learned to live with my frustrations
Nobody knows
So just go where you go
Nobody knows
So just go where you go
I’m not really mad
I’m just up and down all day long
Like a little seesaw

Turn away
Locked in my morning daze
Can’t keep the head on straight
I need something to stay awake
I try when you’re dealing with a hard time
But then you tell me that it’s all fine
It’s a constant back-and-forth with you
How is everything so dark?
Summer it just seems so far
I wanted to feel something
Drove to the palisades
Holding every piece of grass
Trying hard to make it last
I wanted to feel something
Drove to the palisades
Every other time when I tell you a lie
I’ll be bending over backward to make you not cry
You’d be so much to lose
I could never replace
You’re my biggest win so I can't make mistakes, yeah
You’re so cold
That’s right
You’re so cold
Sometimes
You’re so cold
It’s time
Alright
“I love you, I need you”
It’s a mindset that I see through
How is everything so dark?
Summer it just seems so far
I wanted to feel something
Drove to the palisades
Holding every piece of grass
Trying hard to make it last
I wanted to feel something
Drove to the palisades

Outside
02:51
|
|||
|
This head is overwhelmed with feeling
I wanna go outside, it got nice out
It can’t be nice every time I try to overthink everything in my life
This head has opened up with feelings
I wanna stay outside
I’m just trying to get my mind right
Like flowers blooming in the night time
I'll float backwards forever?
Forget what you thought when you thought about it
I’m just trying to get my mind right
Like flowers blooming in the night time
Calm down, it’s alright

Mood Rings
03:35
|
|||
|
I don’t wanna be so far away
I don’t wanna be selfish
I can’t explain
So I bought a mood ring
The colors washed and it left me confusing
Nothing revealed at all
Just like that bridge in Brooklyn;
It’s impossible to pronounce
I want it easy for me
What would that look like for me?
I want it easy for me
Do the feelings come after?
I think that you should let it go for now
I think that you should let it go for now
Just like that bridge in Brooklyn
It’s impossible to pronounce
(i think that you should let it go for now)
Just like that bridge in Brooklyn
It’s impossible to pronounce

No Muscles
02:50
|

Oh, I’ve been meaning to say this for some time
To say what’s on my mind
Sex with the lights out
Your breathing is too loud
Don’t need our muscles now

Everything Under the Sun
04:16
|
|||
|
Everything under the sun that I’ve done has been keeping you in outer space
What’s left to lose in your mind when it’s so far away? Well see for yourself
Snuck into a garden just to see another flower;
The hydrangeas on your desk remind me of you and everything you used to do
I’m withered at best
Fresh out my mind
Put to the test
And failed every time
It’s hard to say
Because i don’t believe that it’s true
You’ve gone away
And maybe i’ll see you soon
Soon the room is empty
I’m the only one who’s standing there
Looking for your friends maybe they’re in the yard
I’m listening for your song but it never starts
I’m pulling apart
And stitched back together
I'm drifting away
And held by a tether
And she said “I tried”
Self assured and open eyed
Oh you kids, come inside
It’s hard to say
Because i don’t believe that it’s true
You’ve gone away
And maybe i’ll see you soon
You’re so far gone and miles away
You’re so far gone. it’s my mistake
Over and over, i look at the ceiling
Cause every fucking outcome still has no meaning
I sit on a balcony and think of all the words shared
Then i think about you and I

Radio Silence
03:25
|

|
See me falling through the ocean floor
Feel the nitrogen hit my core
I'm living on dry land
(Radio Silence)
In here the surfaces are all concave
I get the feeling it's the last of all the ways out
(Radio Silence)
Don't turn your back
Don't walk away
(Radio Silence)
Don't claim defeat
At least not today
(Radio Silence)
Don't turn your back
Don't walk away
(Radio Silence)
Don't claim defeat
I know this game
(Radio Silence)
I can't erase you
(Radio Silence)
I can't erase you
(Radio Silence)

Arcade
01:10
|
|||
|
I messed around at an arcade
Got a high score
I didn’t mean to win
I was wandering a job fair
And I walked out with a friend
I just wish I would realize
That the good things are what I have
I always knew I would love you
Way before we even met

Stuck in My Old Ways
03:20
|
|||
|
Stuck in my old ways again
Trying to find out why this happened
Trapped in a circle again
You don’t know me
Don’t know me anymore
Why do I pick apart a day that’s so ordinary?
What do I think I’ll find?
A hummingbird flies with all its might just to stay still
And I go through a day of shit
Just to wake up and do it again
And if you knew me
(and if you knew me)
Wouldn’t you help me sort this out?
But if you loved me
(But if you loved me)
Couldn't you save me from myself?
Stuck in my old ways again
Trying to find out why this happened
(I think I get it, I really think I get it now)
Trapped in a circle again
You don’t know me
Don’t know me anymore

Linoleum

I hate when the moon is bright
Cause it keeps me up at night
Sleep’s what I’m losing
Let’s try a movie
Nothing can keep me nice and still
(nice and still)
I tried, I tried it all
(I don’t think you’ve tried everything)
I even watched all the re-runs
Will the moon beat the sun?
So come on, come on
Don’t keep your eyes wide
(So come on, come on
Don’t keep your eyes wide)
The birdies will sing you a tune
There’s no one to talk to
And I miss your long hair
I can’t find a reason
A reason to not care
A reason to not care
No reason…
So come on, come on
Don’t keep your eyes wide
(So come on, come on
Don’t keep your eyes wide)
So come on, come on
Don’t keep your eyes wide
(So come on, come on
Don’t keep your eyes wide)
I loved you to the end
But I sleep well knowing you’re alright
Been sleeping well since that night
I loved you to the end
But I sleep well knowing you’re alright
Been sleeping well since that night
I loved you to the end
But I sleep well knowing you’re alright
Been sleeping well since that night
The worst thing I ever did was not tell you how I feel
If you’re fine, then I’m fine
The worst thing I ever did was not tell you how I feel
If you’re fine, then I’m fine

Texas
04:33
|

|
Is it just me?
I feel so far away from anything or anyone
Will it matter when I’m gone?
It’s all temporary feelings that I can’t shake but it’s making me break down
I feel like giving up now
It’s never good enough
The way we all grew up just waiting for the snow to leave the ground
That shit’s not going away
Just ignore me
I’m so dramatic
Fall apart
And write a song
You can move to Texas now
So long!
But what about my love?
You can move to Texas now
Figure it out!
I’ll trade all my button downs
For a short sleeve shirt with the sleeves cut out
I need a city where there’s no honking
Just the backyard birds singing to me
Each morning a new melody
Come along
You’ve done it all
You can move to Texas now
So long!
What about my love?
You can move to Texas now
You can move to Texas now
I won’t wait forever
I won’t wait forever
I won’t wait forever
I won’t wait forever
I won’t wait forever
I won’t wait forever
It’s time to move out now
