Old Keys
02:36
|
|||
|
I threw some old keys away
I took them off my chain
and just threw them away
That was yesterday
What was I keeping them for?
Never again even see their doors
Don't need them no more
Now I'm ready to explore
Get yourself more free
Throw away those old keys

When U Call My Name
02:34

when u call my name, ooh
when u call my name, yeah
I was lost and now I'm found
only need to spin around
on a state of flight that's homeward bound
it's the plans:
I can't stand em
rollin' out of hand
I demand em
when u call my name, ooh
when u call my name, yeah
its a race
to the center
couldn't set my pace
but I meant ter, yeah
if you change
your direction
can you earn your spot
or will you bench it
when u call my name, ooh
when u call my name, yeah
I was lost but now I'm found
only need to spin around
on a state of flight
that's tied and bound

Walk You Again
03:30
|
|||
|
I broke down
After I found a strand of your fur
On an old shirt
Packed away since before I split with her
I'm thankful she and I stayed friends
For a while I could walk you on the weekends
But now we live in different states
And I don't know when I can walk you again
To bond with a creature so deeply
Without words
To long for a way to tell them you miss them

Heat Island
03:57
|
|||
|
I would kick off the covers
If there were any left on the bed
I would take off my clothes
If I wasn't already naked
When it's cold you can bundle up, layer
But what do you do
When there's no way to get cool?
You give me reason to save up
And reason to spend my last cent
How long have I held you
To make up the weight of all I've spent
When it's cold we can bundle and hold each other
But what do we do
When there's no way to get cool?
We're doing everything that we can
But our love makes a heat island

Think I'm Funny
02:14
|
|||
|
I love it when you laugh at me
Chuggin' chocolate milk before we go to sleep
Sometimes I wonder if I like the things I do
Or if I'm always putting on a show for you
When things get serious I never think I'm smart enough
When things get sad I always start to act tough
So if I can help it I try to keep it light
Cuz if I can make you laugh it makes me feel alright
I love it when you laugh, love it when you laugh at me
I just want you to think I'm funny

Two Plastic Spools
03:45
|
|||
|
I listened to a two minute song of yours
Half a dozen times driving home from the store
Pressing rewind as if I'd find the exact place
Where my passion fell behind
Two plastic spools, warped by heat
Romantic fool flying down the street
I see you once a year now
Twice if lucky
But when I hit play we're sippin' Ale 8 in Kentucky
Before we knew what had begun
In sleeveless t-shirts soakin' up that sticky sun
Two plastic spools, warped by heat
Romantic fool forgetting to eat

Payless
03:35
|
|||
|
when you're feet were up on the dashboard
when I looked over and the water roared
when doubt was just a word I heard sometimes
when my smile was innocenter
and your garden hadn't grown
rev the engines, kick up stone
when we talk on the phone, like,
I never understand
I just want a life where i pay less
well, I got another letter
something's wrong with your credit card
and they said they're gonna find you
hiding in the dark
when your feet were up on the dashboard
I've been changing just a little
moving on in more ways than one
when we meet over lunch, like,
I never understand
I just want a life where I pay less

Like Pretend
01:54
|
|||
|
Step outside and fell the sun
So warm on your head
Step back in, shut the door
Get back into bed
I know sometimes it must feel like pretend
But it's okay, I'll still be your friend
You drop off a resume
Next day get a call
When it's time for your interview
Stay home, watch 'Chopping Mall'
I know sometimes it must feel like pretend
But it's okay kid, I'll still be your friend
A picture shows up on your feed
Of us years before
You almost call me, but instead
You scroll through some more
I know sometimes it must feel like pretend
But it's okay, I'll still be your friend

Like a Gift
03:23
|
|||
|
There's no excuse for getting so heated
Over some dumb shit I can't control
I know I should leave
Come back when my head's cool
Try not to let the shame take hold
And you're so patient with me
More so than I've been able to be
i'm stormy and spiraling
And you're here for me smiling
Am I just going to be forever 23
When you get used to being mistreated
Common courtesy feels like a gift
So when I receive
Such sweet love from you
It's hard to believe I'm worthy of it
Am I just going to be forever 23, longing for legitimacy?

Need More Time
02:20
|
|||
|
I get to work a little late
(I need more time)
And then I leave a little early
(I need more time)
Get home and boil some water
(I need more time)
Dig through the pile of VHS
(I need more time)
I keep buying these old videocassettes
(I need more time)
Got so many that I haven't watched yet
(I need more time)
Did I stop dreaming, or just remembering?
When I stop breathing will I leave something lingering?

Me Changing
04:36
|
|||
|
tap me on the head
it's like I woke up six years later
I can still hear every raindrop
hit out old front step
dreams that I forget
because today they seem so ruthless
each one I'm living
completely to the end
faint scream, white sheet
over, I think
What are we talking about?
about me changing
I can understand
sometimes I ask myself the same things
I can never place the blame straight
on you and only you
but it's dark in here
somebody left the upstairs light on
and i can feel the spirit bygone
and i am being lifted up
faint screams, white sheets
over, I think
What are we talking about?
about me changing
A little voice told me
to wait and hear the rest
You get more efficient
but you still feel like you're dead
what are we talking about?
about you changing

Through The Walls
04:00
|
|||
|
You got love in your heart
And crumbs in your bed
A lie that's crumbling in your head
Got a nice guitar
Gathering dust
Friends you love and love you
That you don't trust
You try to breathe the blood back in
Try to walk through the walls
And you can keep busy for so long
Try so hard to stay so strong
And like a lighthouse, she stands by you
But she can't stop what you do
You try to breathe the blood back in
Try to walk through the walls

Dogbreth recommends:
Falsetto Boy is Jim Fitspatrick, St. Louis-based singer/songwriter/rocker who's equally great at making soft, lofi acoustic songs as he is at huge, fuzzed-out power pop. It's all sincere and amazing.

Whoa. The title track and The Power are both approaching my power pop ideal. An album to be played loudly, on repeat.
