Imaginary Friends
02:33
|
|||
when you get to the other side
see someone you know
when you get to the other side
I met you at a party
where we had a common friend
you said to me
what do you do
and I began to recite
string together words
wondering if I even knew
even though it's simple
maybe you can understand
how it's not that lonely
as an unknown one-man band
but tell me where you go
with those imaginary friends
I'll show you where I've been with mine
I'll show you where I've been
with these imaginary friends
this is where I've been with mine
meet me at a party
where society breaks down
I'll show what I really do
meet me at a party
where society breaks down
I'll have some advice for you
steal yourself a synthesizer
form a one-piece band
fade in fade out all the numbers
you make with your own hands
then tell me where you go
with those imaginary friends
I'll show you where I've been with mine
I'll show you where I've been
with these imaginary friends
this is where I've been with mine
I'll show you where I've been with mine

Album of The Year
02:12
|

I might be arrogant
why shouldn't I be
give me one good reason
why I shouldn't be
give me one good reason you know
why I shouldn't be
you checked in
like something's wrong
would you see
what I'm working on
so watch me crop these pictures
for an album of the year
ask we why but I really don't know
if it could be any more clear
first of all
why not try
to see yourself
like somebody else
there are a lot of good people
you've never heard about
there are a lot of good people
you've never heard about
go ahead and laugh
but you know it's true
would you believe in the unseen
would you believe what's inside of you
going down
to the bend
going down
to see how it ends
to see how it ends
I might be arrogant
why shouldn't I be
going down
going down now
going down
where sight can bend
to see how it ends
I might be arrogant
why shouldn't I be

The Best
05:14
|
|||
I don't think I can do this any more
the one thing I know for sure
is I'm not right
I'm not right
at first I thought I'd lose some friends
I was worried I might lose a couple friends
now I'm not right
I'm not right
if your body gives out
if your body gives out
when you havn't had a good thought
for days
then I havn't had
a good thought for days
is my mind stuck in place
is my mind stuck in place
mind stuck in place
my mind stuck in place
I'm not right
I see my reflection hold an end
I start
forming a plan
I'm not right
I'm not right
I'm sorry that I'm not the bigger man
I tried the best I can
it's just I'm not right
I'm not right

Wonder Ballroom

a no one in the woods
outside your own home town
do you wonder if they'd miss you
wondering, wondering
which of your works
they'll disown
and you laugh about that
in dusk
whirling like a drunk
memorizing shadows
on hawthorne bridge in march
as evening, evening
falls in
they'll disown
a no one
no one in the woods
are you ready
are you ready
to fill the night
are you ready

Handshake
03:26
|
|||
it seems
you'll probably need to run
'cuz they always
make you shake their hand
only tell you what you want to hear
they always make their motives
seem so pure
to stockpile enemies
to stockpile enemies
you became a follower
staring down a foe
you think you found a working plan
you think you're gonna get cut in
and when that's done
you'll need to run
I was once just like you
I was once like you
I did what you do
I hunted for reasons to
to stockpile enemies
to stockpile enemies
territory wronged
territory wronged again
who wouldn't want a cunning plan
who wouldn't want to be cut in
and when that's done
you'll need to run

Gold Window
03:23
|

hello
do you feel unknown
lay back by your phone
gold window you'll find
it's the only way to travel time
gold window
do you judge
that it was I who called
I'm alive
remember
I heard you might be
a fan of a hollow scene
you and I could hold
a window open for a while
if you want
you know that I would hold
a window open for as long
as you got to spend
turn the hour glass upside-down
wake up a beat up guitar
play your fingers down
play your fingers down
what is there to wait for now
wake up that beat snare drum
rattle it around
rattle it around
what is there to wait for now
you and I could hold
a window open for a while
if you want
you know that I would hold
a window open for as long
if you've got it
you should spend it
'cuz all we have is traveling in time
all we have is traveling right into time
right up to the end
and we'll do it all again
you know you know you know
I once lost it all
now I travel
time
I travel
time
I once lost it all
time
lost it all

Between Lights
04:59
|
|||
I'd
haunt you if
you take me at your side
and I'll
follow you
as a plume of smoke
because you amaze me now
like you amazed me then
I'd rather see you
don't take another step alone
'cuz I'll
be a fool for you
where it's always night
and we're stuck between the lights
you and I
we're stuck between the lights
but I'll find you in the end
I'll follow you again
because you amaze me now
like you amazed me then
and I'd rather see you
don't take another step alone
you amaze me
you amaze me like you did
don't take another step alone
I'll follow you again
I'll follow you again
here in the dark
you amaze me like you did
amaze me like you did
I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you

2nd Worst
03:16
|
|||
it's the truth
I don't want to know
it's the truth
I said I don't want to hear it
it's the truth
I don't want to know
beware any thought with a negative tone
it's the truth
in your poser town
it's the truth
in your poser town
I guess I'm living in a poser town now
it's the truth
cry cry that sigh
it's the truth
cry cry that sigh
beware any thought on the negative side
2nd worst
in a poser town
maybe I'll turn it around
but I doubt it
I'm probably too emotional to do something about it
it's the truth that rattles around
like a cage dragged open and a clanging sound
cry cry that sigh
cry cry that sigh
beware any thought with a negative side
people say you only do this for show
and they're right
they'll say it some more
they say I love you but you're not a good friend
and they're right
they'll say it again
lovers called me crazy before
and they're right
they'd be the ones to know
and some people just hate you in the end
and they're right
because you're not a good friend
remember?
it's the truth
cry cry that sigh
it's the truth
cry cry that sigh
beware any thought with a negative side
they're right

Like You Said You Would
04:11
|

let's catch up it's been so long
let's catch up it's been so long
but first of all
first of all
I love you
but there were problems I recall
there were problems I recall
we made promises where
we should have burned it all
I'd like to
bury phantoms in the wall
bury phantoms in the wall
we'd pull the bricks apart and
take them right down from the wall
we all need the same thing
I've heard you believe we
all need the same thing
do you believe there's an infinite love
let's catch up it's been so long
let's catch up it's been so long
but first of all
first of all
do you think there's an infinite love
some things that bothered me
and faded from sight
have been keeping me up
in the middle of the night
but first of all
first of all
do you believe in an infinite love
well do you
we all need the same thing
I've heard you believe we
all need the same thing
do you believe in an infinite love
do you believe in an infinite love
what do you believe
we didn't heal in distance
like we said we would
what do you believe
we didn't settle our difference
like we said we would
and now I'm pulled apart
you say you won't help me
like you said you would
what do you believe
about the end of my life
what do you believe
about the end of my life
