I come from a town named after a rock
A house with open windows and a two-car garage
We would go to sleep and leave the doors unlocked
And so I never learned to keep my guard up
Learned how to protect myself from threats
But there was nothing waiting
In the culdesac to get you walking home
Say anything, but what is on your mind
Say anything, but what is on your mind
I had this friend who never learned to share
He had a German Shepherd, closer than a sister
We would walk her to the store
And shoplift from the aisles
And even though I knew that it was wrong I went along with it
I never learned how to pronounce the word "no"
The path of least resistance
The day that it was over we were playing in the backyard
When his German Shepherd sank her teeth into my side
They had to put her down then
We were never friends again
He said I killed her
He said it was my fault that he had to live without her
Now everything is fucked
There was so much shame
I've never been the same
Say anything, but what is on your mind
Say anything, but what is on your mind
Everybody fell in love with your new album
And I have never fully forgiven you for that
I know that it's petty and I know that it's wrong
The friendly competition is starting to get personal
And I want you to listen up
Cuz I'm only gonna say this once, so you better listen up
You're my hero
I love you and your art
Say anything, but what is on your mind
Say anything, but what is on your mind
If we seal our mouths together
And pass air back and forth
Would we get high?
Would we get high?
If we seal our mouths together
And pass air back and forth
Would we get high?
Would we get high?
I wanted to include a voicememo in this part of the song of our voices
As a way to transport listeners to that period in my life
I've spent so much time thinking about childhood
And what it was like to be surrounded by those I love
So I found one--listened to it
Couldn't believe some of the things I was saying
I was so embarrassed by myself
So I decided not to include the recording on this song, but instead record something new as some sort of gesture of moving past that
So I decided to record this instead as some sort gesture to myself that I've moved on or grown in some way
It scared me
I can't believe I sounded so fucking stupid
Maybe my childhood wasn't what I thought it was
Come out come out wherever you are
Maybe I wasn't the person I thought I was
Ready or not here I come
I doesn't matter if the picture's blurry
Maybe my friends weren't the people I thought they were
These recordings have been kinda my way of like processing that
Or some sort of romanticized version of that

North Facing Window
04:50

North facing window
Never gets sunlight
Shrouded in shadow
Whether it's day or night
North facing window
Please entertain me
Images flash across you
Just like a TV screen
It's the sequel to the remake
Of the movie adaptation of the story
Of someone who looks like you
But it's not you
North facing window
Why would you say that?
One letter changed the meaning
The typo made us laugh laugh laugh
North facing window
If we were to act fast
We could be heroes of this whole culdesac
It's the sequel to the remake
Of the movie adaptation of the story
Of someone who looks like you
But it's not you
And the actor in the reenactment
Just a little more attractive
Doesn't seem to understand what it takes
To play you
And the heroes of the culdesac
Of this old neighborhood are back
So everybody clear a path
And give them all a hand
Causing trouble waiting for the bus
And the Devil answers straight to us
But we'll be home before it's dusk
You'll see, wait and see
North facing window
North facing window
North facing window

polite

Of all the boys in town, he has to be the worst
They paired us up in class, Oh no
He's asking for the time
He's asking for a pencil
He's trying to hang out, Oh no
I was just tryna be polite
But I should have known
I was just tryna keep it light
But what's done is done
We're crossing with no crosswalk
It made us both feel free
Our little act of protest: so small
His mom is still at work
We're smoking in the basement
We're airing out his room
Missed call
Missed call
I was just tryna be polite
But I should have known
I was just tryna keep it light
But what's done is done
Well I cross my heart and I hope to die
I stick a needle in my eye
We'll never be alone again
We'll never be alone again
We'll never be alone again
We'll never be
Well I cross my heart and I hope to die
I stick a needle in my eye
We'll never be alone again
We'll never be alone again
We'll never be alone again
We'll never be
I was just tryna be polite
But I should have known
I was just tryna keep it light
But what's done is done

Daniel
04:20

I test the limits of my world each time I get in the passenger seat with you
What a pleasant morning
To be up to nothing
We'll be more careful this time
There is something to be learned from kids who climb trees
There's something hidden in the scene that you can't see
Unless you get yourself high
So high
We could spend the weekend in our collared shirts
And look for summer jobs
Listening to Phoenix in the Subaru you borrow from your mom
This happens too much for coincidence
And now I've beginning to think that it's not just me
Why does this always happen when I'm with you?
This only ever happens when I'm with you
Why does this always happen when I'm with you?
We never miss an opportunity to play the piano
It's that same Aphex Twin song every time
Now each time I hear that song I picture teenage fingers on the keys
In some random person's house
Where we're the first ones to show up before the party
This happens too much for coincidence
And now I've beginning to think that it's not just me
Why does this always happen when I'm with you?
This only ever happens when I'm with you
Why does this always happen when I'm with you?
Now listen up Danny
You know I love you
Now put your phone down
I wanted to leave 20 minutes ago, yeah
I wanted to leave 20 minutes ago, yeah
You know I believe in you, Danny ya know
But I wanted to leave 20 minutes ago, yeah
There is something to be learned from kids who climb trees
There's something hidden in the scene that you can't see
Unless you get yourself high
Why does this always happen when I'm with you?
This only ever happens when I'm with you
Why does this always happen when I'm with you?
I wanted to leave 20 minutes ago, yeah
I wanted to leave 20 minutes ago, yeah
You know I believe in you, Danny ya know
But I wanted to leave 20 minutes ago, yeah

So Much (So Mad)
06:42
|
|||
I'm not proud of everything we've done
Good stories always seem to start out dumb
Hot water always seems cold at first
My collar's all wet and I woke up thirsty
Fucking around in the dark
They didn't have anything bigger
So we settle for sparklers
And writing our names in the air at the park
Tripping around picnic tables and charcoal bags
There were grass stains on our jeans
Hoods up over our heads
I tried to show you the scene
But my laptop was dead
My eyes hurt so much
My pride hurt so much
Is it the edible, or are we floating 6 inches above the ground?
Is it me, or are we the only ones on Earth who matter?
Are we the only ones here who really matter?
There were grass stains on our jeans
Hoods up over our heads
I tried to show you the scene
But my laptop was dead
My eyes hurt so much
My pride hurt so much
My eyes hurt so much
My pride hurt so much
Can we get to the part that we're laughing about this?
All this time I've been so so mad
Can we get to the part that we're laughing about this?
All this time I've been so so mad
That night was like an initiation
They blindfolded us and put us in a car
I felt around for Nancy's hand, but I found yours instead
And you recoiled when we laced fingers
There were grass stains on our jeans
Hoods up over our heads
I tried to tell you you're mean
But my spirit was dead
My pride hurt so much
My feelings hurt so much
My pride hurt so much
My feelings hurt so much
Can we get to the part that we're laughing about this?
All this time I've been so so mad
Can we get to the part that we're laughing about this?
All this time I've been so so mad
Can we get to the part that we're laughing about this?
All this time I've been so so mad
Can we get to the part that we're laughing about this?
All this time I've been so so mad
My pride hurt so much
My feelings hurt so much

death of a band
04:57

With hoodies underneath our jackets
We stomped freshly mowed grass
We couldn't silence the loud thoughts
So we drowned them out with 40s instead
Get the Hendrix out now
Sign of the cross now
We couldn't silence the loud thoughts
So we drowned them out with loud guitars instead
Pick a horror movie now
I want something fucked up
We couldn't silence the loud thoughts
So we drowned them out with David Lynch instead
What about that time we revised The White Album
Made a playlist and cut out all the shitty songs
We tweeted at Paul and explained how he could've done it better
No reply, but no matter
I elbowed my way to the front of the stage
Just so we could grin at one another
While you were playing bass
I let other friendships die just to protect ours
And lately I've been thinking, "Oh what could've been"
Let's break the internet
Let's go break some hearts
We couldn't silence the loud thoughts
So we drowned them out with parties instead
Let me meet your jock friends
Show me off to the team
We couldn't silence the loud thoughts
So we drowned them out with dancing instead
I kept up the act for so long I started believing it myself
But I don't wanna grow away from this
I left some part of me somewhere in that house your parents sold
Will I ever get it back?
We were John and Paul together
We were John and Paul together
We were John and Paul together
We were John and Paul together
We were
We were John and Paul together
We were John and Paul together

Disembodied host
Are you really there?
If I reach out and touch you
Will you disappear?
Disembodied host
Can you hear my voice
Blink once for "yes" and twice for "no"
Staring into space
Can you see through that black eye?
Your black eye
Your black eye
Give me something, give me a sign
Any sign
Any sign
Let's go to the party
Let's get kicked out of the car
Let's snort things off dinner plates
To "Bennie And The Jets"
B-b-b-but I'm not paranoid unless you're paranoid
In which case let's just become cushions on the couch
I keep looking up as if to speak
About our so-called "hippie phase"
And you said
Can you see through that black eye?
Your black eye
Your black eye
Give me something, give me a sign
Any sign
Any sign
I wasn't home before dusk
I wasn't with who I said I was
We didn't turn out right
We didn't want to turn out right
I was a Catholic surprise
Oh what a lucky thing to be alive
We all love and we don't wanna have to see your funeral
We all love and we don't wanna have to see your funeral
We all love and we don't wanna have to see your funeral
We all love and we don't wanna have to see your funeral
We all love and we don't wanna have to see your funeral
We all love and we don't wanna have to see your funeral
We all love and we don't wanna have to see your funeral
We all love and we don't wanna have to see your funeral
We all love and we don't wanna have to see your funeral
We all love and we don't wanna have to see your funeral
It's been 10 years since we've had anything close to friendship
I see you just for summers
When we start spending summer apart I see you maybe once a year
Each time more awkward than the last
Each time it gets a bit louder
This creeping idea that I don't know you anymore

Sign Of The Cross
06:04
|

Well I cross my heart and I hope to die
I stick a needle in my eye
We'll never be alone again
We'll never be alone again
We'll never be alone again
We'll never be
I've been bent over backwards
Trying to make it work
Watch me bend over backwards
Trying to make things work
I've been walking on eggshells
Balancing on that beam
I've been tossing and turning
Can't seem to fall asleep
Well I cross my heart and I hope to die
I stick a needle in my eye
We'll never be alone again
We'll never be alone again
We'll never be alone again
We'll never be
I've been fucking around with myself in the dark
I've been tripping around picnic tables at parks
We need a really good walk
To smoke Danny's weed
We need a really good talk
To let it all out
We need a really good song
To jam in the basement
We need a really good guitar solo
To bring us together
Bring us bring us to-
Well the past is the past and we're laughing about it
All this time we've been so so glad
The past is the past and we're laughing about it
All this time we've been so so glad
The past is the past and we're laughing about it
All this time we've been so so glad
The past is the past and we're laughing about it
All this time we've been so so glad
One day we'll get back on track
Yeah someday we'll get back on track
Yeah I know we'll get back on track
Yeah somehow we got back on track
Yeah somehow we got back on track
Those boys are sand slipping through my fingers
Man oh man I've been so upset
We've all got bands, but I just wanted brothers
Man oh man I've been so upset
Those boys are sand slipping through my fingers
Man oh man I've been so upset
We've all got bands, but I just wanted brothers
Man oh man I've been so upset
Well one day we found out our love's an hourglass
And whenever it runs out, we'll just flip it over

best friend

The album's over
But don't pick another
It's still ringing in our ears
Let's just sit in peaceful silence
For a couple minutes
Couple hours, couple years
Depression's not a superpower
You can write without it
I know you can
Shame is not some fact of nature
You can eat without it
I know you can
Music's not so necessary
You can dance without it
I know you can
I know it's crude to miss being in high school
We're supposed to move on
I don't miss youth
I miss being surrounded by all my friends in some car
The time has come to dance
With my inner circle
Favorite people
I thought I caught your glance
What did it mean?
What did it mean?
Some things you can't just smooth over
No matter how hard
No matter how hard that you try
Boys don't hold hands
That's what they all tell you
They all tell you
You see that boy over there?
That's my best friend over there
You see that boy over there?
That's my best friend over there
