Brand New Day

Gets to his door, but he can't find the key
"Why the hell does this always happen to me?
I always end up so alone," he says to himself
He says, "Who am I?"
Yeah, he says, "Who am I?"
I think it's time that you know
Hey, get the keys, get the car
Imma drive away
Think I know who I am
It's a brand new day
And if I don't, if I don't, if I don't,
Take me home
He's got a knife in his chest! (Uh huh)
She says, "Stop complaining,
'cause I got one too.
It hurts the same as it did when it was new"
And so we say, "Who am I?"
Yeah, we say, "Who am I?"
I think it's time, don't you
I think it's time, don't you
I think it's time that you know
Hey, get the keys, get the car
Imma drive away
Think I know who I am
It's a brand new day
And if I don't, if I don't, if I don't,
Take me home
If I don't, if I don't, if I don't,
Take me home

Astronaut
04:11
|

Yesterday I found myself again
Underneath a box of mini wheat thins
If only it were as easy as that
All these petty thoughts would be a thing of the past
I will hit the sun in the break of day
If I start building Oklahoma would it make it OK?
You say you're only happy once in a blue moon
I thought: that makes me an astronaut
I get scared of the cops
Doesn't mean that I should go and hit them with rocks
Oh, what's got you down
What's got you down
And don't say I don't know
There is a definite frown upon your face
Is it something this music could erase?
I will hit the sun in the break of day
If I start building Oklahoma would it make it OK?
You say you're only happy once in a blue moon
I thought: that makes me an astronaut

I'm Not

Hazards blink
Falling in and out of sync
She's just screaming, "It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay"
If I don't make it out of here
Tell my son, "It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay"
Maybe my intentions left indentions in the window
Frame of mind your own business time, nine to five
Feeling empty for the first time in a long time
Let the love shine
Spread my hands wide
Do you act kind?
'Cause I'm not what you think I am
I'm just the smallest part of one big plan
I think I can, I think I can
Shaking keys
Shiny hands grasping out in the night
I'm saying, "It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright"
I can't even say sorry anymore
Please say it's gonna be alright, say it's gonna be
(Alright)
Nothing satisfies me like a lie
So please just say it one more time
(Alright)
Here we are together at the end
I thought I would call you my friend
'But I'm not what you think I am
I'm just the smallest part of one big plan
I think I can, I think I can
One by one
The days, they blur together
And if I don't stop this
It will be like this forever
Take me to the promised land!
If you reach out, I'll grab your hand!
If I could have it back
All that time I wasted getting on track
If I go my own way
What would you say?
What would you say?
I take two steps forward, back one
Two steps forward, back one
Two steps forward, back one
Two steps forward, back one...
One step forward, back one
One step forward, back one
One step forward, back one
One step forward, back one
But I'm not, what you-

Party in the Graveyard
04:20
|

When the final judge comes around
And reads the names all to the town
It makes me feel like they somehow got it wrong
I didn't know what to say
Like did you even watch us play?
It makes me feel like I'm misunderstood
But I'm like
Why did you pay the ticket price?
I'm like no, are we ever coming back
We pack our stuff into the cars
And start to drive away in ours
It makes me feel like we're just giving up
But when I'm finally all alone
I sing throughout my empty home
It makes me feel alive once again
But I'm like
Why did you pay the ticket price?
I'm like no, are we ever coming back

One Night in Mexico
03:40
|
|||
Do you ever get tired of the everyday?
Take your to-do list and throw it away
Got lots of plans and responsibilities
I say get in the car and drive away
Tell all the people who want to stay
If I don't come back tomorrow, let me waste away
Pack your bags, we'll leave today
If I don't come back tomorrow, let me waste...
I don't even know the kind of medicine
You take for ambition
God, they better let us in
Far away from all the terrorists
I beg your pardon
Oh! They better let me go
A taste of exotic
Spend one night in Mexico
Don't know what my friends are gonna say
It's funny how things'll change
You wanna quit your job
Now everybody thinks your insane
Unless you're actually crazy
In that case, I guess it's okay
Tell all the people who want to stay
If I don't come back tomorrow, let me waste away
Pack your bags, we'll leave today
If I don't come back tomorrow, let me waste...
I don't even know the kind of medicine
You take for ambition
God, they better let us in
Far away from all the terrorists

Spitfire

I hope that when we dance
Video cameras cease to exists
The music comes and drifts away
To shaking hips and offbeat clapping
Let me jump out of my skin
I love my two left feet
They told me all the things that I could never be
And so I lived my life that way
And look at how I am today
I could sing forever
I ran away and joined a band
There are certain things you'll never understand
When I get tired, I spit fire out of my hands
When he gets excited, he turns the light out and goes to bed
When I get better, I'll write songs for soda cans
When he gets my letter, I don't think he'll understand
I live in some kind of crazy nation
Of myriads and constellations
Man, I never really thought about
How much I wanted to scream and shout
It's time to change nothing
In the time it takes to tie your shoes
I could run a mile or two
The party's over, it's time to go home
The safest place to drink alone
I'm not ready for bed!
I ran away and joined a band
There are certain things you'll never understand
When I get tired, I spit fire out of my hands
When he gets excited, he turns the light out and goes to bed
When I get better, I'll write songs for soda cans
When he gets my letter, I don't think he'll understand
When parents get drunk again
But it's not cool because they can
It's not their fault is what I say
It takes me back to yesterday
My friends got mad because they came
And nothing's here to tempt their fate
Are you more than just a sum
Of what your body depends on?
All I've ever wanted was a restless body and a restless mind
So I change my shape to fit the crime
And it's not my fault, is what I say
It takes me back to yesterday
When parents get drunk again
But it's not cool because they can
It's not their fault is what I say
It takes me back to yesterday
My friends got mad because they came
And nothing's here to tempt their fate
Are you more than just a sum
Of what your body depends on?
All I've ever wanted was a restless body and a restless mind
So I change my shape to fit the crime
And it's not my fault, is what I say
It takes me back to yesterday

Time is a Loaded Gun
02:56
|

I show up to places when I want
I'm exercising my first amendment right
To believe what I believe in
You should believe in what you believe in
So tell me what's wrong with taking my sweet time
Living on a self-made minefield
If you call me a deadbeat
That makes you a hypocrite
'Cause I'm fine fine fine fine fine fine fine f-fine
I got the time time time time time time time
Tttttime is a-running out
I've been waiting for so long but I can't figure it out
And it makes me want to shout
Tttttime is a loaded gun
And I know I couldn't take it if I hurt anyone
But now our time is up
Give me all your minutes
All your seconds
All your days
And if I can't be satified,
I won't be afraid to take up all the years
Alone with my thought
You gotta bbbbreak down all these clocks
I'm on fire
And I feel like I could tackle my procrastin-ary habits
I'm on fire
Be my CO2
'Cause I'm fine fine fine fine fine fine fine f-fine
I got the time time time time time time time
Tttttime is a-running out
I've been waiting for so long but I can't figure it out
And it makes me want to shout
Tttttime is a loaded gun
And I know I couldn't take it if I hurt anyone
But now our time is up

Drifting away...
Drifting away...

Here We Go Again
04:13
|

(Function)
Woke up today
Feeling great
Hit my head on the door
Cursed and swore
Oh, sure
It left a mark on my face
Can't kill my vibe
Hop inside of my mind
I set my tempo to the beating of the back seat sub of my car
You're looking up at me
But I'm pretty sure you're looking down
Condescending with a frown
Oh, how do you do it?
Woman
You talk to me like I'm crazy
You're thinking that it could change me
But all in all that depends
So here we go again
Baby
You talk to me like you're righteous
You're thinking that I won't fight this
I really though we were friends
So here we go again
The fact that
Just a regular guy
Couldn't speak my mind
Without being scrutinized bums me out
I turn the knob on my dashboard
I'm gonna blast my Katy Perry
'till you shut up and leave me alone
What we have,
What we used to have
Used to work
But now I'm doing all the work
Turned my head, I said
Woman
You talk to me like I'm crazy
You're thinking that it could change me
But all in all that depends
So here we go again
Baby
You talk to me like you're righteous
You're thinking that I won't fight this
I really though we were friends
So here we go again
(Don't tell me how to live my life)
Woman
You talk to me like I'm crazy
You're thinking that it could change me
But all in all that depends
So here we go again
Baby
You talk to me like you're righteous
You're thinking that I won't fight this
I really though we were friends
So here we go again

Upswingin'
04:02
|
|||
Under the light of the moon
Your face shines like a thousand stars
And it's okay to be nervous
You gotta be nervous tonight
So here we go
Calling out into the night
Nothing to do all day
Nothing to say
If you come upswingin' with me
Everybody's dancing all night long
We're all moving to the beat of the song
Get up, c'mon, baby dance with me
Everybody's dancing all night long
Flashes of blue
In the corner of my eye
It's time to go, we'll both be safe
If you come upswingin' with me
Everybody's dancing all night long
We're all moving to the beat of the song
Get up, c'mon, baby dance with me
Everybody's dancing all night long
(One, two, one two three four)
Everybody's dancing all night long
We're all moving to the beat of the song
Get up, c'mon, baby dance with me
Everybody's dancing all night long
