Your money problems, they never stop So turn to drinking, drink makes you fun! When you’re not drinking, you’re boring When I’m not drinking, I’m hardly sleeping You’ve got a problem? Don’t come to us The phone line’s dead, your funding got cut you need attention, constant affection It’s not your fault, you picked bad friends son I’m tired of the news, I’m tired of repeats I’m tired of you, you said you’re tired of me The cold calls, the pay screens The stations, the stations I’m tired of you, you said you’re tired of me I’m tired of the news, I’m tired of repeats The talk shows, and ‘faces’ The stations, the stations You feel self conscious? Well that’s too bad You look in the mirror, and it tears you up Just do the gig son, Just do the admin Sing up louder with more interaction Your money problems, they never stop You speak so loud, I can't hear the song You’re overthinking, now that’s enough A load of talk, a load of nothing I’m tired of the news, I’m tired of repeats I’m tired of you, you said you’re tired of me The cold calls, the pay screens The stations, is it the stations? I’m tired of you, you said you’re tired of me I’m tired of the news, I’m tired of repeats The talk shows, and ‘faces’ The stations, the stations The talk shows, the dead air The stations, the stations

pale, like ghost white love I'm breaking down and freaking out again is it really that hard to let somebody else in at least i know im not wrong about this i know im not wrong about you but i still doubt myself sometimes slow dive bomb in my mind and im down just thinking about it while the sunlight makes a rainbow dance and my teas been cold for hours i don't need this in my life right now can we talk about the little things? just slow down for a little bit try to fight this round but im giving in yeh i don't wanna be your friend right now try to rip this feeling from my chest ring that bell just to go again shout up if im not making sense can we talk about the little things? i can't run like that, jump like that, don't look back now i can't read your mind, what's it like weather wise? im down just thinking about it while the sunlight makes a rainbow dance and my teas been cold for hours i just need you in my life right now

I can be a little unkind When the darkness is covering me Ignore my phone and put myself to sleep You predict it every time Say there’s a let up in my energy You see the wood and all I see is one tree Thank God, you keep me together A jacket in the stormy weather When my sadness is sweeping through this house Yeh you always come around Pick it up and take it out When my sadness is keeping the sun turned down Yeh you always come around Pick me up and take me out I’ll never get those blue days back So we’re creating new memories Listen to Holocene and fight back sleep, aaaah yeh You’re know you’re good when you can taste some sweet so, On the days when I can’t find my feet I Thank God we’re together You still the weather When my sadness is sweeping through this house Yeh you always come around Pick it up and take it out When my sadness is keeping the sun turned down Yeh you always come around Pick me up and take me out And if it were the other way round I would pick you off the ground Dry your tears when you're cryring out Before you'd even make a sound I'd be there for you Like you're there for me Ooo I'd be there for you Like you're there for me When my sadness is sweeping through this house Yeh you always come around Pick it up and take it out When my sadness is keeping the sun turned down Yeh you always come around Pick me up and take me out

you get home in the morning and you crawl into bed wondering why nobody told you you end up doing it again and the sheets feel cold and you’ve the snow in your eyes wondering why nobody told you this is what 20 feels like. you’re such a child And I know how it feels to lose and i really hate the things you do wake up in the evening put your mind to bed share your lips with a stranger and sip the bitters you’ve wed feeling shy in the bathroom i feel you hiding in the dark you keep ruining my bedroom when you feel a spark. you feel so alive does it make you, make you smile? put it into drive does it make it all worth while? god i really hate you sometimes putting your best face on who is it for? putting your red dress on who do you do it for? putting your lipstick on what is it for? putting your best face on who is it for?

There’s somebody else moving in I still haven’t packed anything I got into riding my bike Because I don’t know what to do with my life And the saving grace Of this dusty place My friends feel it too Somebody sleeps in my bed The place where I’d lay down my head I got into riding my bike Because I don’t know what to do with my life And the saving grace Of this dusty place My friends feel it too

You have not seen nothing yet Oh guess who dropped the ball Who dropped the ball? When there’s a scandal and you’re handling it, Let the intern take the fall When will we know once and for all Who dropped the ball? When are you gonna drop dead? When are you gonna drop dead? How do you sleep at night? Well you know what’s worst of all What’s off the wall Who had the gaul Who made the call Who dropped the ball? And we are all in need of rescue ‘Cause it’s you who burnt the bridge, Who burnt the bridge There’s no denying it now The collective thinking is Yes the ship is sinking Now the water’s at our hips It’s just a case of how not if You sank the ship When are you gonna drop dead? When are you gonna drop dead? How do you sleep at night? How do you justify it? Why is it you must deny it? When will you make it make sense? When will you make it make sense? How do you sleep at night? Shoulda never made the trip Your fingertips Have lost their grip You made the slip You sank the ship Let’s get today out the way And in the rearview mirror Let’s get today out the way And in the rearview mirror Let’s get this bleak fucking week In the rearview mirror Let’s get this bleak fucking week In the rearview mirror Let’s get this year Outta here in our rearview mirror Let’s get this year Outta here in our rearview mirror Let’s get this year Outta here and in our rearview mirror Let’s get this year Outta here and in our rearview mirror When are you gonna drop dead? When are you gonna drop dead? When will you make it make sense? When will you make it make sense? How do you sleep at night? How do you justify it? Why is it you must deny it? How do you sleep at night? And why do we always fall for it? You’re called to it Maybe we’ve all just dropped the ball

Verse 1: I hate when it gets quiet Gives me more time to think You told me what it’d take to love you But you know that I’d do anything Bridge: Into your arms, I wanna fall into your arms Chorus: You’re the mistake I’ve never made And while I am scared to fall into your arms You feel the same So we go without saying Anything (x4) Verse 2: I love when you get quiet Give me the look that makes me sink You told me what it’d take to love you But you know that I’d do anything Bridge: Into your arms, I wanna fall into your arms Chorus: You’re the mistake I’ve never made And while I am scared to fall into your arms You feel the same So we go without saying Anything (x4)

She seems set on watching the morning sun I just feel like hanging round I guess you figured out that I ain’t much fun Always gotta drag me out Driving from my place to the city Years passing through me now You say something like ‘baby ain’t this pretty’ As I roll the window down We’re just watching sun hit the skyline You’re pulling at my sleeve I’m hoping maybe to bide time please Give up this dream, be a better man Sometimes I feel more like a boy Could put my faith in Jesus and be alone I’m so sick of driving the long way home You say I’m too high in the morning ‘Think of all the money you’ve blown’ I’m so sick of driving the long way home The sky it starts to bruise, the clouds collide I'm ready to call it a night Maybe in the morning it will be clear Maybe there’s nothing to fear I don’t feel I know much of nothing I don’t feel much at all Tired always thinking of things that passed On the road I go when I drive too fast We’re forgetting all of the good times This isn’t what we need Whisper to me your dreams Give up this dream, be a better man Sometimes I feel more like a boy Could put my faith in Jesus and be alone I’m so sick of driving the long way home You say I’m too high in the morning ‘Think of all the money you’ve blown’ I’m so sick of driving the long way home She seems set on watching the morning sun I’m waiting ’til it’s coming down Guess you figured that I ain’t much fun Give up this dream, be a better man Sometimes I feel more like a boy Could put my faith in Jesus and be alone I’m so sick of driving the long way home You say I’m too high in the morning ‘Think of all the money you’ve blown’ I’m so sick of driving the long way home I’m so sick of driving the long way home

Betty Thompson said she was with you, Good morning, still in your red shoes Silver lining sits in a gold cloud, My horizon’s wide as your eyes now. She’ll come round like the sun in your bedroom, Patience, be film in a dark room Take your time, say hi with a haiku You’re not mine, I just like you. Oh, it’s a beautiful day, Oh, such a beautiful day, First love, wild flowers and a split knee, Fall fast, in the hope that you catch me, Leading horses down to the river, You go first, I’ll always love her. Oh, it’s a beautiful day, Oh, such a beautiful day, Call the boys in, Call the girls, Call your friends, We’re diving for pearls. Swim the waters, Simmer down When you find one, Pass it round. Freeze frame, on a glance at midnight, Keep your eyes on me and hold tight, Run the rain, through the concrete glistening, Go against the grain, find out what you’re missing. Oh, it’s a beautiful day, Oh, such a beautiful day, Oh, it’s a beautiful day, Oh, such a beautiful day, Oh, it’s a beautiful day, Oh, such a beautiful day,
