Stab me in the back or in the hand
With a ballpoint pen
Plaid skirt season is finally
Coming to an end
Why is it that I wanna stay
The second the sun shines bright on my face
When all I’ve been talking about for months
Is how I'm just dying to get away?
I’m growing my roots in the ground
But now I have to move to another town
For now, I’ll hide back inside
Because it’s the weather that’s been getting me down
Smoked my first cigarette
With the German exchange students
And I lost my voice for two days
But it was worth it
I learned to love the taste of cough medicine
‘Cause all this winter I’ve been nothing but sick
And at least it tastes like
Getting better quick
Why is it that I wanna stay
The second the sun shines bright on my face
When all I’ve been talking about for months
Is how I'm just dying to get away?
I’m growing my roots in the ground
But now I have to move to another town
For now, I’ll hide back inside
Because it’s the weather that’s been getting me down
Because it’s the weather that’s been getting me down
Because it’s the weather that’s been getting me down
And it’s coming all together, because of the weather
And I think I’m getting better for now
Running into friends of friends while riding the subway
Taking the 6 two stops uptown every tuesday
Then, every few days, rinse and repeat
I’ll make sure to catch you here the same time next week
(Fuck off)
(Fuck off)
(Fuck)
Why is it that I wanna stay
The second the sun shines bright on my face
When all I’ve been talking about for months
Is how I'm just dying to get away?
I’m growing my roots in the ground
But now I have to move to another town
For now, I’ll hide back inside
Because it’s the weather that’s been getting me down
Because it’s the weather that’s been getting me down
Because it’s the weather that’s been getting me down
Because it’s the weather that’s been getting me down
Because it’s the weather that’s been getting me down (fuck off)
Because it’s the weather that’s been getting me down
Because it’s the weather that’s been getting me down (fuck off)
Because it’s the weather that’s been getting me down
Because it’s the weather that’s been getting me down (fuck off)
Because it’s the weather that’s been getting me down
Because it’s the weather that’s been getting me down (fuck off)
Because it’s the weather that’s been getting me down
Because it’s the weather that’s been getting me down (fuck off)
Because it’s the weather that’s been getting me down
Because it’s the weather that’s been getting me down (fuck off)
Because it’s the weather that’s been getting me down
(Fuck)
And it’s coming all together, because of the weather
And I think I’m getting better for now

Missed Connection
04:17
|

It’s a missed connection
There’s too many people in the room
And a deep sinking feeling
Knowing you’ll never make a move
Dramamine on the way home
This April’s been strangely cold
But I don’t wanna freeze
On the beach where everyone else goes
It’s a missed connection
There’s too many people in the room
And a deep sinking feeling
Knowing you’ll never make a move
I have a lingering sore throat
I always get one when I go outside
Outside and into the crowd
I wanna catch your cold
It’s a missed connection
There’s too many people in the room
And a deep sinking feeling
Knowing you’ll never make a move
Knowing that you’ll never make a move
Knowing that you’ll never make a move
Knowing that you’ll never make a move
Knowing that you’ll never make a move
Knowing that you’ll never make a move
Knowing that you’ll never make a move
Knowing that you’ll never make a move
Knowing that you’ll never make a move

Facade
02:05

Your facade is perfect
And nobody knows
What’s bubbling beneath the surface
You’re so fucking gross
Calculated and cool
Plotting your next move
You might just be evil
And I wish I never fucking met you
You think you know a person
Then their true colors show
Indie slimeball dickhead
You’re an overdone trope
Calculated and cool
Plotting your next move
You might just be evil
And I wish I never fucking met you
Too much has changed
Too much has changed
I’m losing friends as we speak
Too much has changed
Too much has changed
But have you always been such a creep?
Calculated and cool
Plotting your next move
Why are you such a weirdo?
My friends were right about you

Central Park Ducks
04:50

Take me outside, ‘cause I’m dying to know
Where the central park ducks go when it’s cold
$2.75 might not get me the whole way home
So you better start walking, ‘cause I’m not going alone
I don’t have your number
But at least I have your time
Nothing better to do
So I’ll let you waste mine
Lead me on, lead me astray
Lead me in circles
I’ll wait around a few more days
Then I’ll head home
Take me outside, ‘cause I’m dying to know
Where the central park ducks go when it’s cold
$2.75 might not get me the whole way home
So you better start walking, ‘cause I’m not going alone
Why do I follow you around?
It’s unequal
But unrequited’s such a strong word
Maybe you never got the memo
Your gravity’s crushing me
You’re a black hole
Suck me in, into the abyss
Into your orbit

Smog
06:22
|

I’ve been trailing you for months
I look around and all my friends are gone
I look up from my phone to see the sun has already set
Has it really been that long?
I don’t wanna hang out in the smog
I would rather breathe in your smoke
If you want, we can go to the park
And pretend it’s all some cruel joke
We can hide away from the orange haze
You can open up the window in my bedroom
Let’s get some air, ‘cause I’ve been feeling trapped
Take a deep breath of fresh toxic fumes
I don’t wanna hang out in the smog
I would rather breathe in your smoke
If you want, we can go to the park
And pretend it’s all some cruel joke
