I went up to the north dark hair of course
She said the back talk’s giving away
It’s a long long wait but if you’re willing to stay
Then I’ll tell you what I heard em say
They say you swim in lakes
And well nah I swim in rivers and so do they
I went down to the south blonde hair no doubt
She said the boys are chirping away
It’s a ten miles to the sea but if you come with me
Then I’ll tell you what I heard em say
They say you swim in lakes
And well nah I swim in oceans and so do they
And I forget
How the movie ends
Well those stories stored me up again
And those movies moved me till the forgotten boring end
You want it, get it, got it, drop it, watch it go
Cause you could fine dine tonight and let the next 5 years erode
I went round to the city the girls are pretty
So I asked one on a date
She said the pleasure’s all mine but if you don’t mind
I need to tell you what I heard em say
They say you swim in lakes
And well nah I swim in lanes and so do they
And I can’t remember how
This tune goes again
Well I’m as broke as a broker in a fight
And I’m as outspoken as the spokes on my old bike
You want it, get it, got it, drop it, watch it go
Cause you could fine dine tonight and let the next 5 years erode
Though it goes to show I got a highway left to go
But I would rather kill a man then spend the next 5 years alone
You’re free to say
I told you so
The bitter lines
They’re getting old
How far you’ve come
How much you’ve grown
A whole lot
And I never liked the current it made me work too hard to stay
And I never liked that sea salt water taste
But you keep on being super kind
Let me crash for the night
And I’m loser
Now we’re strangers
Why’d you lose her
Why you changing
Why you drop me at my parents place
To text me back in all upper case
Hey I don’t care what they say
Come on let’s swim in our lakes

Front Beach

Your lake is black as baco noir
Your cheeks is red as a matador
Bullshit I call your au revoir
Cause it was on front beach
You had a difficult summer
I saw you on the bay that night
Made a strange, face when I was
Saying goodbye you’d fight
Your whole life to get the timing right
But it was on front beach
You had a different thing coming
Biding time
I was a brute with a puffer
Apple eye shiner
I was a bruise to your mother
Words they don’t bind
Just trying to go for the W
Speak my whole mind
Ain’t trying to fold right in front of ya
I want you that’s true
You get, you don’t choose
You got my late card
You’ll drop me off soon
I’ll watch for your scorn
But In a way, I will have known
Cause now I’m on front beach
And you had disappeared from it

Sweet Serenity

I don’t know how to trade but you’re giving me coats and I’m giving you wine
I haven’t slept for a while and I’m getting tired
Of trying to sort out how loud you’re boy’s music could be relative to your speech
I don’t mind his lofi beats but I miss the sand under our feet
But i don’t miss these concrete streets
Oh sweet serenity
The empty change in my pocket is like the empty change in your eyes
I can see past it but I can’t see why
I gotta fucking stop, stomp my phone I bought a hundred new ways to let down a friend
I guess the feeling I’m feeling you’re feeling its breathing in, seeping in, keep within my reach and then
I swear I won’t ever let you go
We can start new on a better coast
And if it's not you then you better hope
Oh sweet serenity, won’t you marry me tonight
Oh adept amphetamines, don’t make fun of me yea roll your eyes
Oh wicked whiskey, won’t you stumble me through the night
Oh sweet serenity, won’t you marry me tonight
So we got lost in the wilderness, a dream in your head
You stood on top of a monolith, screamed with your hands
They said no way in hell a heavy heart would hurt this hard if it was heaven sent
But I still move to catch you
I know I don’t have to
Oh sweet serenity, won’t you marry me tonight
Oh adept amphetamines, don’t make fun of me yea roll your eyes
Oh wicked whiskey, won’t you stumble me through the night
Oh sweet serenity, won’t you marry me tonight

Got my hands in my pockets remind me why I’m here
Cause I can’t read the signs
And though I can’t sit still my intentions are sincere
Cause I read on the lines
You know if I were sweet as coca cola then I wouldn’t be this way
But I get fired and she goes solo you know
I just never seem to change
Ya know I’ve never seen
I feel like the sun today
And it always feels like you know what I’m about to say
Got my hands together they got me on my knees
Babe I’m getting kinda bored within
And though I don’t sleep in I need something more concrete
To spend my Sunday mornings
Ya know
I ain’t much a soldier
Got investors on my shoulders
I got angels in my molars
I got wisdom but I paid to get it out
I get it
I got it
Don’t fight it
I fought it
And now I reap just what I wanted
And that’s just it isn’t it
Nothings shit till it is
I bet you’ve never seen me on the fritz like this
I feel like the moon
And it always feels like you know what I’m about to do
You know impatience it's always the same
And those other attributes never helped me anyway
But better than that wall
Covered in photos of
All those places I've never been
And all those lips I never kissed
And all those faces I never hit
And all those hearts I’ll never win
And they tell me they say
We will wait, we will wait for you
We will wait, we will wait for you
I can’t wait anymore
I feel like the sun today
And it always feels like you know what I'm about to say
I feel like the moon
And it always feels like you know what I’m about to do

Summer Shame
04:48

Hot as hell in parked cars spending all of the money you made
Feel the smog on your shoulders head down I call that summer shame
She stole my car took my heart
If thats the way that its gotta go
I don’t wanna know
Cause she’ll do anything
And I mean like anything
So girls hide your boys and wedding rings
You don’t stop you cut your brakes all the way
They teaching teachers to teach us to run so I’m running running away
Hot as hell in packed bars trying to act like your cousin’s age
Feel her broad on your shoulder head now that’s not your summer shame
They stole my car beat my father and I to a bloody mess
So I don’t want guess
Cause they’ll do anything
And I mean like anything
So go hide your phone and let it ring
You don’t stop you cut your brakes all the way
They teaching teachers to teach us to run so I’m running running away
We are not gold we are the blood that’s spilled
We are not cold we are the warmth of hell
But I will love impartially
We are not whole we are the tarnished half
We are not full we are just fallen cash
But I will love entirely
You don’t stop you cut your brakes all the way
They teaching teachers to teach us to run so I’m running running away
I stole her car took her heart and that’s the way it has always been
But I’d like to begin
Cause I’ll do anything
And I mean like anything
So go hide your words and let it sing
Got it
Watch it

Alright
You park
Imma drive
Imma push us past the 400 run it till I can’t see lights
Flashing back to high
You were new
I was like
You the type of girl who be like that girl you like she’s not your type
Hair pulling
Eye rolling
Your screaming
Daydreaming river banking hay fever lonely summers weekend bummers no shows but you showed and we chose to stumble home
and stumbled on a milestone but we’re miles from it now
But I got us this far
When the middle daughter loses her cool
Put it on me put it on me my dear
I’ll cut you off
Cause you got us this far
When the younger brother loses his way
I’ll be sure to blame it all on you babe
Dad said boy you made it don’t escape it be defeated don’t deface it and face it she’s the fucking greatest
Mom said you the norm, uniform, you depressive, you the thorn I’m super stressed I’m uber torn
Then you said it held my head in
Gabe you are my best friend and then we lived it now we’ve left it
Don’t forget the slight reflections
Moon swimming sun setting
Tears glisten
Eyes flicker teeth flashes
All our light
Packed in a millisecond
Wait a minute I’m not finished
Second guessing first kisses
This is it then I’m just in it, I’m just in it, I’m just in it
Cause you got us this far
When the middle daughter loses her cool
Put it on me put it on me my dear
Cut me off
Cause I got us this far
When the younger brother loses his way
I’ll be sure to blame it all on you babe
Your worlds in slo mo
Mine is a snow globe
Your stirred I’m shaken
Calamity for what?
You’ve had a child since we fucked
I’m no longer your one
But I’m just happy you made it
It’s funny how a fumble becomes something wonderful
I wonder if I would have become somewhat undone or indelible
But we couldn’t have had a clue
Is more or less how you’ll say it
A lifetime from my exit
When they ask you:
Who saved you?
Cause you got us this far
When the middle daughter loses her cool
Put it on me put it on me my dear
I’ll cut you off
Cause you got us this far
When the younger brother loses his way
I’ll be sure to blame it all on you babe
