đŸŽč Lyrics That Hit The Spot

Wait just a minute
Could we turn the lights out?
'Cause I like me best in the dark
And, after we finish
Could you stick around
So that voice in my head doesn't start saying
"I never should've gone there
And taken off my clothes
Let you find out what I already know
That I'm still the punchline
Of childhood jokes
'Cause I carry dead weight and it shows"?
Sorry, I'm still not at home in my body
Just wanted someone to want me
Who sees me as more than just funny
'Cause it never feels good being lonely
I'm in my head whДn you hold me
'Cause you won't be hДre in the morning
And I'll let you leave
'Cause it never feels good when I never feel good about me
 
If you follow your heart
Then you're bound to become something else
You take one hard look at yourself
And you'll say
I'm gonna do everything
You said that I couldn't do when I was high
And I'll write your name in stars across the sky
 
Collar high under the slate gray sky
The air was smoking and the streets were dry
And I wasn't joking when I said goodbye
 
Oh baby can I get a kiss
Another taste of your sweetness
Another night in your heavenliness
Another look at you wearing nothing
But that bracelet on your skinny wrist
I fell asleep and I had a dream
It was summer on the beach St. Augustine
And the water was warm and blue
I was playing in a small room
I met a brunette in a pretty dress
Went to her AC'ed apartment
She smoked a joint and she drank absinthe
And laid there like a slab of cement
And I left and we lost touch
Shit I can't say I really missed her much
And when I left we fell out of touch
And I doubt she ever thought of me much
 
When you get your shit together
When my edges ain't so rough
When we've done a little livin'
Done a little growin' up
Maybe we could be something somewhere down the road
And I know that a younger me couldn't sit here now
And tell those green eyes no
But you're a fixer upper if there ever was
And I need some work myself
To tell you the truth
I keep taking the broken and thinking that'll be the glue
But I don't wanna have to fix you too
I don't wanna have to fix you too
 
'Cause I'm hung up on dreams
I'll never see, yeah, baby
Ah, help me, baby
Or this will surely be the end of me, yeah

Pull myself together
Put on a new face
Climb down off the hilltop, baby
Get back in the race
 
On of my favorite breakup songs.

TV On the Radio - Careful You

Oui, je t'aime
Oui, je t'aime
From the cradle to the grave
You've done a number on my heart
And things will never be the same
Freeze a frame, freeze a frame
From a fever dream of days
We learned the secret of a kiss
And how it melts away all pain
 
The last horizons I can see are filled with bars and factories
And in them all we fight to stay awake
Drink enough of anything to make this world look new again
Drunk drunk drunk in the gardens and the graves
 
Gloria, how's it gonna go down?
Will you meet him on the main line, or will you catch him on the rebound?
Will you marry for the money, take a lover in the afternoon?
Feel your innocence slipping away, don't believe it's comin' back soon
 
We ducked into a dim lit room out where the river bends
And turned to walk the burning bridge that we would build
And crossed our hearts half hoping
That we could both quit smoking
And kick the booze and blow
And one day go make something of ourselves
 
Sit on the back porch and wonder 'bout her
What is she doing right now?
Making somebody a happier man
Dying her hair back to brown
 
Don't say a word
Just come over and lie here with me
'Cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see
I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe
There I just said it
I'm scared you'll forget about me
 
I could make you happy, you know
If you weren't already
I could do a lot of things
And I do
To tell you the truth I prefer the worst of you
Too bad you had to have a better half
 
I understand the convenience
There's nothin' left between us

When the moon comes up
I'll say my goodbyes

And when you tell me
How much you're sorry
See the tears well up
In your eyes

When you are so alone
Can't seem to find your way home
Your tears will burn
Sterilize
 
Riding a unicorn
through your DalĂ­
that free fantasy
That carefree
beginner's luck
The sugar don't live up
Sailing on a banana peel
Your trophy star
chewing a protein bar

Little Dragon - Pretty Girls.
I fucking love psychedelic absurdity
 
I had a killer job in a backup band playin' guitar in Branson
Two shows a night brought the money to chase down sin
Now it's another weekend and I'm lonely at home
Late night TV, evangelist drone
I'm healthy now but I really don't know if I'll ever be free
Would you take me back North Carolina?
Would you take me back Arkansas?
Blissful days still there to remember
Methamphetamine was the final straw
 
If I hadn't met you
The world would still be so small
There'd still be four walls
I wouldn't stand so tall
If I hadn't met you
I wouldn't know love again
Hearts can break and they mend
How things end and begin
I see love for what it was, not what it wasn't
And everything that happens ain't for nothing
You were meant for me to find
Meant for me to touch
Meant for me to learn from
Meant for me to trust
Meant for me to hold
Meant for me to choose
Meant for me to love
And meant for me to lose
 
... So if you ask me
How do I feel inside
I could honestly tell you
We've been taken on a very long ride
And if my owners let me have some free time some day
With all good intention, I would probably run away
Clutching the short straw...
 
... Just close your mind
You can find all you need with your eyes

The big machines will take care of you
Until the fashion fades
And the checks go through
My bank roll's red and my face is blue
And still they'll turn their backs on you for
Someone new

Feed my head
With some real thoughts
And let me think instead
Of being taught
I'll say things
You won't believe
Just stand back
Just let me breathe
 
One of the creepiest songs I've heard


... I got wiring loose inside my head
I got books that I never ever read
I got secrets in my garden shed
I got a scar where all my urges bled
I got people underneath my bed
I got a place where all my dreams are dead
Swim with me into your blackest eyes.......
 
And tonight I'll be walkin' home alone
Therre's a million things I said
And twice as many that I didn't say
And I remember an afternoon
A broken coffee cup and some Broadway tune
And I shook her hand and I said...OK
And now as I stroll by some skinny dog
Left outside without a bone
And ain't it funny how one afternoon
Can make two people stop and say
That all the time they spent together
Really didn't mean that much anyway
 
I'd like to say that I don't care
That I am here and you are there
But I'm not a good liar
Knowledge isn't such a wealth
I'm trying hard to fool myself
But you have me beat
So I lay down and I turn out the light
I get so tired when I close my eyes
I dream about you but I cannot sleep
