The Way You Drive
03:17

[Bap bap ba de boop boopda]
I like the way you drive
to life,
your like a knife that cuts through the bullsh*t
[Oh woah ahhh]
I like the way you drive
yourself into me with our slow pulsing bodies I'm at sea
[Oh woah ahhh]
Ahhhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh oohhh
I like the way you drive
the conversation to places where people don't go
I never know
with you
what you'll do
next
keep me on my toes
[Oh woah ahhh]

La Di Da
03:58
|
|||
|
She walks into the room, what happens to you, who cut out the sound your mind is not around…
Anymore, all is left is your heart beat beat, jaw dropped drooling on your…
Feet, you start walking step step to her, mouth saying things like, ‘how are ya’
Wake up in a flash what just happened stepped back oh wait a minute
Is she smiling back
You’re alive with love and that’s all you’re thinking of
You’re blinded from the sun from up above
In love with love and that’s all you’re thinking of
You’re in love with love with love with love
Like…
La di di da la di di da di da la la la di da
You wake up in your room, what happened to you, oh what’s that sound, your mind is buzzing round
To the ground, those aren’t my shoes you look around you, oh hush hush now she’s sleeping next to you
Oh how could this happen to me? Aren’t those funny noises that she makes when sleeping, yet…
Somehow you find it so endearing and aren’t you
Just lucky
Your friends they don’t understand they think that you’re delusional
But if they could open up your chest they’d see your hearts fractal
Is it really so complex, or is it all just simple
Your mind is a haze but it’s a haze you crave and that is all
So you know that she’s the one (for now)

Good Man
02:43
|
|||
|
Oh he’s a good one, he cares for me
Don’t always feel it, but I know that he wants the best for me
Perfect? We’re not perfect
Don’t try to be
Love, I don’t love every aspect of your personality
Yet I’m glad to be your honeybee,
Glad to be you honeybee
Naturally!
I’ll always love him
Even if we….
Together, not together
I want him to be as happy as he can be
He’s a good man, always will be
He’s so good so good I’m lucky

Mud
03:15
|
|||
|
Drilling down self discipline
Don’t play to play, I play to win
Catalyst, spark my sin
Oh how my head starts to spin
But when you touch my body
All I know is in the win
When you touch my body
All I know is that I can’t win
Mud, Mud
Woke up in the morning
Oh what have I done?
How I long to belong to you and want you to want it too

Closer
01:58
|
|||
|
I’m getting closer to music and it makes me feel closer to you
The memories turn to harmonies and they torture me just like you used to do
I can still remember
Cruel things we did to each other
But somehow it doesn’t matter
I’m still stuck on you
We’d walk through parks together our feet were made of feathers
You’d fill me up with laughter then cut me down the day after
Yet still we stayed together we were drunk on our sick pleasure
You made me feel alive

Lovers
03:19
|
|||
|
Two girls are lost looking for lovers
No skin to bleed their hearts uncovered
Looking to please and be discovered
Their selfish deeds are being lovers
The lovers sit and watch the day
As it fades and falls away
They can’t begin to understand
They only know the ways of men
Looking to please on bended knees
We’ll be discovered
Stripping our lovers

Bluebird's Nest
04:03
|
|||
|
I place all the boys in my fantasy
The ones I loved and hated, the ones I said hi to occasionally
I put them all inside of me
Letting their lips cover every nook of my body
Oh you were the victor of my little noxious test
Because you loved me better than all the rest
I laced my fingers through the nape of you neck
You were asleep as you hand laid softly upon my breast
Oh oh how I longed to let you in
You’re body so pale and freckled new, white and fresh
I compared your to my cocoa skin
The contrast between our cleaving flesh
As our limbs intertwined and meshed
The way our colors weaved like a bluebirds nest
The way our colors weaved like a bluebirds nest
A bluebirds nest, bluebird’s nest

In the Fire
03:38
|
|||

Throw me in the fire
Watch the flames burn higher
With your terrors removed
With your terrors removed
Removed

Il y a une fille
There is a girl
avec deux grands yeux
With two ample eyes
Un sourire qui brille
A smile that shines
Même si elle est ailleurs
However she is elsewhere
Mais je l'adore pour son espirit
But I adore her for her mind
J'aime quand on parle et quand on rit
I love it when we talk and when we laugh
Ma bonne amie, Ma bonne amie
My good friend, My good friend
Parler avec toi, ce n'est pas un souci
Talking with you is not a worry
Ma bonne amie, tu donnes ton avis
My good friend, You give me your opinion
à propos de toutes les choses de la vie
on everything in life
Elle incarne la joie de vivre
She embodies the joy of life
Ses belles paroles m'enivrent
Her beautiful words intoxicate me
Te-souviens tu de la chanson du paresseux?
Do you remember the song about the sloth?
On faisait n'importe quoi et on a écrite toute les deux
We did whatever and wrote it together
Ma bonne amie, Ma bonne amie
My good friend, My good friend
Quand j'suis avec toi j'ai pas de souci
When I'm with you I have no worries
Ma bonne amie, Ma bonne amie
My good friend, my good friend
Je te garderai pour toute la vie

Quand on était ensemble la vie rimait avec vacance
When we are together life resembles vacation
Tes gestes et mouvements se font avec élégance

Tu es aux États Unis, je suis en France
You are in the United States, I'm in France
Tu viendra peut-être me voir avec un peu de
You'll come visit me perhaps with a bit of chance

Sit Next to You
04:13
|
|||
|
You feel it creeping in
Coming to suck your breadth
Falling off the earth
In your head, (you're/where)
in your head
Until you know what to do
I can sit here next to you
I can't say I know what you're going through
But I'll be here sitting next to you
But I feel so helpless
Love escapes your eyes
Where does your mind lie?

Eyes Open
04:25
|
|||
|
Give me a lonesome night
I want to feel sorrow
There’s a gentle consciousness
When the body’s calm
Hollow
My eyes are open
My head is clear and I find peace
When I look out the window
|
||||
12. |
Ok
02:29
|
|||
|
In general I’m happier in nature
Though my skin is full of bug bites and splinters
I’m itchy and uncomfortable
but somehow there’s a peace in my soul Ok
And I’m learning as I go
Many things I don’t have control of
And all the possibilities I could take Ok
I’m cynical when I think about you
But I still write about how it used to
Be and your stupid affect on me
More rhymes and time and I guess we’ll see Ok

Kitchen Counter
03:14
|
|||
|
Sitting on my kitchen counter
Up high on the 15th story
I can see the Eiffel Tour
As it sparkle here before me
And I wonder how many stories
Of love lay buried in its memory
As I gaze upon the city
I think of you I think of you I think of you and me
We were playing Texas Hold’em
Anti up and deal me in
But should I raise or should I fold them
Oh the risks when gamblin
And I wonder how can I win
My thoughts are cards in a deck that’s shuffling
Should I raise or fold, will we grow old
Will we stay together or part forever
Je me demande
combien de temps nous
avons, avant nous de partir pour de bon
je me je me demande
Sitting on my kitchen counter
I can’t help but wander
Oh will we stay together or will we part forever?

Yue Zou Yue Shen (越走越深)
03:43
|
|||
|
You're on your way
I see your silhouette
I won't make you stay
My love
Walking on the field with no direction
在黑夜里越走越深
zai hei an li yue zou yue shen
(Within the darkness, walking further and deeper)
越走越深
yue zou yue shen
(Walking further and deeper)
不再幻想
bu zai huan xiang
(No longer in the illusion)
把黑暗
ba hei an
(Taking the darkness)
装进行囊
zhuang jīn xing nang
(Packing it in my napsack)
游荡流浪
you dang liu lang
(Wandering, roaming)

Choose your Words
04:02
|
|||
|
Your insecurities become a self fulfilled prophecy
As you rip apart pieces of my psychology
Using your words as weapons just to hurt me
But the impact is hard to foresee
I say
Choose your words very carefully
Choose your words very carefully
Before there are too many casualties
I need my choice I need my freedom
So let me love you to my rhythm
I made my choice I need my freedom
So let me love you to my rhythm
Can you take me as I am
Oh can you take me as I am
Oh come on take me as I am
Oh no won’t you choose to understand?
Oh understand
And then maybe things can go back to
How they used to be

Old-Fashioned Romance
03:09
|
|||
|
Oh won’t you give me a chance
At an old-fashioned romance
Eloquently move me with a good story
So I can lean in closely and kiss your cheek
See roses rush to your face
As I place my hand into yours
But doesn’t that take swag?
Perhaps the people back in those days had
it more than I’ll ever have
Beats drunkenly stumbling towards the other
Lunging dubiously while trying to utter
How do I get you out of those pants?
Not a chance
Oh won’t you give me an old-fashioned romance
I can hear the rumble
Of those who are tired of
Endless pointless nights
Trying to pick up
Some say good things take time
I want to share more of mine
So let us brew in the slow cooker
I’ll be your Ghirardelli sugar
I’m not trying to cast away forever
But leave me out of another
Forgettable regrettable casual encounter
Oh won’t you give me an old-fashioned romance

The Apartment
03:24
|
|||
|
Open the gate and through the entry way
Up the stairway drop your stuff off
And say ‘hello home’
Hear it’s reply in the same old tone
Come to my apartment
Let me cook you up something delicious
And we can have a dance party
Or do arts and crafts until 3:30 in the morning
Wrap yourself in my cocoon
By the way the that is code for the bed in my room
And we can chat until dawn
While alarm clocks chirp and old men mow their lawns
While the world starts its bustling
We’ll be in dreamless sleep nustling
And that is all I want more or less
Good food and things to do and people at their best
