Nightmares

i miss pretending to be asleep
so i can feel you next to me
i'm tired of dreaming to the sirens
red lights in a city horizon
nightmares that wake me up crying
dreamt of bad times
we had bad times
i didn't trust all the signs
i'm waking up to the birds dying
mourning dove flew into my wind chime
i didn't trust all the signs
i didn't want it to die
dead flowers in the summertime
bad luck for a year
why'd you give me a dead bouquet
with the pretty ones so near
dreamt of my dog dead in the road
hit by your car on a monday
and how was i supposed to know
to leave before the hard times
these have been hard times
when i'm stuck in old times
even though my garden's overgrown
with sour weeds and memories
that haven't been watered
dead flowers in the summertime
bad luck for a year
why'd you give me a dead bouquet
with the pretty ones so near

put my heart on the table
and i left for awhile
the pain i've been feeling
takes to the city so well
i'm a nighttime monster
who's scared of the dark
built a garden on the rooftop
thought it was a form of self care
flowers and weeds look the same
when they're just seeds
i killed them all anyway
forgot to water me
i still feel the pain
i'm a kid
and it hurts real bad
i looked for signs
that you'd leave so quickly
but darling i found nothing at all
and how do i deserve this pain
that i feel in my heart
i feel heartache so hard
it's always on my mind
but i walk to the beat of my song
i don't waltz in time
i'm a dancer by moonlight
but i tiptoe in day
there's loneliness
held in the weight of my eyes
i just need to know
if i'm doing one thing right
i'll look for the answer
downtown in brooklyn tonight
and i still feel the pain
and i still feel the pain
and i still feel the pain
i'm a kid
and it hurts real bad
i looked for signs
that you'd leave so quickly
but darling i found nothing at all
and how do i deserve this pain
that i feel in my heart

pray for my little heart
it's gone, it cannot stay
who'd break my little heart
so bad its gone away

Funny Business

i coughed up his spit
tastes like bloody lies
i kissed men who i knew
were up to no good
and well he was no saint in the bedroom
don't have to think twice
i'm not talking funny business
nothing's very funny anymore
did you just need me here
to help dry your tears
it takes a lot for me to say
it's okay, i don't care
and well you ripped me apart again
only need me when i'm near
i'm not talking funny business
nothing's very funny anymore
you're a backstabbing traitor
my heart is a crater
i used to tell jokes
now i can't
love hurts the most when it's leaving
even more when it's gone
i'm not talking funny business
nothing's very funny anymore

darling, oh darling
darling can't you see
i've come a long way
a long way for me
we sing under the willow tree
took the wrong right turn to north country
and now i see
boy, oh boy
boy in the railroad hat
let's make our way to san jose
oh put me in your sack
we hum under the willow tree
took the wrong right turn to north country
and now i see

City Blues
02:36
|

i'm walking down amsterdam
i wish that it was raining
i left things unsaid
and i can't take the bruising
when i'm traveling on the subway
i like that i can't see nothing
helps to know that nothing's passing by
you're my city blues
and i don't miss you
only when i'm stuck in the traffic
and my heart thinks i need you
i don't miss your fears
but i wish you were home tonight
i'll leave the light on
and hope that you're alright
i watch the family
in the home across from mine
i'm scared of nothing
but running out of time
you're my city blues
and i don't miss you
only when i'm stuck in the traffic
and my heart thinks i need you
