Anything for you
Wooden box waiting at the door
I don't wanna lay in the ground
C'mon man I know I've told you before
I don't wanna go back down
Cause I'm layin next to seven blondes sunbathing on a speedboat
I love it when they fill me up
Draw it out till the end of tomorrow
Love it when they feel me up
Got me feeling so sad
When I drop my glass
There's a ring around mother earth's middle finger
I love it when she shows it off
I'm still shaking when the earthquake stops
Love it when she's showin off
When she tells me to give it up
I say I was already done
When she tells me to give it up
I say I was already done
You know I was already done
C'mon tell me to give it up
You know I wanna give it up
Anything for you
Got me feeling so sad
When I drop my glass
She said
"Everything must pass
You'll get another one soon"
When the time is right
It's the middle of the night
I'm up and waiting around
For something never in sight
I think she won the fight
When she tells me to give it up
I say I was already done
When she tells me to give it up
I say I was already done
You know I was already done
C'mon tell me to give it up
You know I wanna give it up
Anything for you
You'll get another one soon
And another one

Out in the country
There is an army
Everyone's playing dead
The wolf is hungry
How do I see you
You're just a cartoon
You and your floating head
While I'm drowning and drowning
I'm crowning out of my pharaoh
Bloody bath and she had me like a bad dream
The building is empty
Your ghost is holy
The light is flickering
And it is snowing
I finally see you
You're just a cartoon
You said you can't play dead
When you're drowning and drowning
I'm crawling out of my last hope
Tunnels dark and I feel the cold
And I never received any call
Cause you didn't know me at all
But I knew you like I knew myself, you see
Playing you out in my little fantasy
Never seemed to get far
With the wheels on top of my car
I realized I played every part
Oh, the folly of humanity
Hits me without warning
Little piggy, wee wee wee
Crying all the way home

Grain of salt, gotta take it all with every single lie
Is it here or there, I'd rather not decide
Take your phone and call the number to the poison control hotline
Join the hive, let's climb to die on a mountain we surmise
We are unapologetically a lie
Floating thirty thousand feet up in the air with our little lights
Take a picture of your smiling face while the plane takes all our lives
It's over
Gonna have another
Always loved the water
Gonna make a splash
And put our lungs to the test
Sleepless nights when reality bites with a mouth of a million teeth
And it doesn't really look so good for me
With an awful lot of errors that make up this comedy
In a game of give and take it only takes my sanity
It's over
Gonna have another
Always loved the water
Gonna make a splash
And put our lungs to the test
If you just lift your head up a bit you can see
The new reality playing on the big screen
It's over
Gonna have another
Always loved the water
Gonna make a splash
And put our lungs to the test
How did it happen so fast?
I was asleep in the back
I left my mind in the past
We want our money back

Tell Me to Do It Now

Emily
Born in Kansas City
And she takes me from the sadness to the madness man before I can blink
Saw the train coming full speed we were laying on the tracks
She said "let's do it again"
With a smile she asked if I was scared
And I told her "no
I feel like a kid in a stolen Lambo
Racing down the highway when you tell me to do it now"
Headin south
Playing catch up with my mouth
And she's wailing like a banshee, kamikaze goin out with a bang
And it's raining like you've never seen
lightning cross the way
Everything is starting to shake
Buildings fall, collapsing in the sprawl
If that big train hits
It'll blow me up and turn me into little bits
But I won't jump off the track until you tell me to do it now
And I'm lookin out
At all the things I wanted and never found
But I won't profess my love unless you tell me to do it now
No I won't jump off the track till you tell me to do it now
It took the sound
It took the words
It took the feel
It took some more
It took the whole world
To get there
If that fast train hits
It'll blow me up and turn me into little bits
But I won't jump off the track until you tell me to do it now
And I'm looking out
At all the things I wanted and never found
But I won't profess my love unless you tell me to do it now
No I won't jump off the track till you tell me to do it now
No I won't profess my love unless you tell me to do it now

Double or Nothing

I'm all in
All the time
Until it's time
To turn em up
I never show
What I hold
But it's you I'll scold
When you call my bluff
You say that I have tells
I tell you to go to hell
Make it double or nothing
You already won once
C'mon, man
Let's have some fun
I want it all
All the time
Until it's mine to give up
Sell everything that I own
And lay it down
I'll give it all up just for fun
You think you're good at this
Fuck you, Zack, you ain't shit
Make it double or nothing
You already won once
C'mon, man
Let's see those big guns

I don't think you think of me like I think of you
I don't think you notice me like I'd ever want you to
Sometimes I'm sitting at a stop sign
While my fantasy goes for a drive
Get a house up on the hillside
Where we don't lock our doors
Pictures hung up by the staircase
Chalk strewn about the driveway
I want a life that I cannot afford
I don't think you think of me like I think of you
See our baby's little feet and their tiny baby shoes
They look so little in a line
Right next to yours and mine
Yea our car turns on a dime
But I know it's safety first
Little trinkets on the bookshelf
That you made yourself
You say you do it when you're feeling hurt
You say you do it when you're feeling hurt
I see us walking in the white sand
Ring inside my right hand
Just preparing for the landing
We've been circling
I tell you that I love you
You say you love me too
And then the sand touches my knee
And you say
"I didn't think you thought of me like I think of you"
