Swimmers 03:01
I don’t think of you much anymore I don’t wonder about you or your brother I don’t wonder why Do you? We spread out our hands in the midst of it Like two swimmers spread their hands to swim I don’t look the same Do you?
2.
I don’t like this spot Let’s talk like we’re friends We’re just connecting dots Through a kaleidoscoping lens Oh love did I scare you When I said close ain’t close enough You said our love fell on a spectrum somewhere but We don’t belong I think you’re wrong My poor heart You’ve stolen it from the start You’ve stolen it from the start, I know This won't be a missed opportunity A missed opportunity, it won’t Seasons we forgot Like money that we’re spending You’re talking when you’re not With language you’re inventing Wait that came out wrong Like a note returned to sender If we forget will we remember To take our time cause Our enemy is brevity Sometimes you get distant And I forget we swore forever You said I don’t need more just better Oh there’s a you shaped hole in my heart, in my heart You stole it from the start

Spectrum 04:25
You wanted a love state You’re talking at anyone who will listen Where’d your blood go How could you forgive until you’re forgiven Sparks fly upward You’re learning the hustle You’re learning that everyone in a room is in love with their own tongue Last night I thought of you And the color lifted me from the ground Last night I swallowed you Now there’s a spectrum inside my mouth Still searching for trouble You wanted a tempt but not a tempter Where’d they find you Out looking for home that you don’t remember Where did youth go On the young it is wasted I figure that everyone in a room is in love with you Everyone in a room is in love with you Last night I thought of you And the color lifted me from the ground Last night I swallowed you Now there’s a spectrum inside my mouth Oh and I’m burning up in stereo And you’re radiating up from the sound Last night I swallowed you Now there’s a spectrum inside my mouth I don’t know why I don’t just leave you here Cause we are made up of all we’ve thought But now, right now You’re all I’ve got

ISEFY 04:07
Don’t make me leave like this Without excuse from the table I swam too far in a flood Don’t make me use one wish We oughta save em if we’re able I said to you in your blood An alarm that we learned to ignore They don’t make love like this anymore I’m so excited for you Rewrite our history One where the rich get richer One like a binary star Yea you’re a mystery Like you’ve been hidden in a scripture Help me to find where you are And the cards said we’d be better by now If they lied then we’ll figure it out I’m so excited for you
5.
One last stop before we’re home Lay back down Put off your phone I know you’re alright Inside voices Wrong in your own right Last laugh You are the sun The sun in my eyes You wanted a taste Don’t act surprised Early lines are showing up Put your wine before the cup I’ll think my way out Inside voices You’re what it’s all about Don’t you forget it You are the sun A bird in the hand You wanted some good But you got it bad You are the sun A twist in the plot You wanted a change I’m all you got

Shorthand 02:31
7.
Calm weather for an operation Now that you’re lying still Formula of a calculation That if it can, it can It will, it will, it will Surprise, Surprise, Surprise You’re wise in your own eyes Alright, Alright, Alright You are And I’m a revelation That you’re beholden to So don’t give me that blood relation Cause it’ll bleed right through a lie High on your own supply Alright, alright, alright You are Are we looking for trouble now Yea but here comes trouble now
8.
Numbers 04:08
You’re right about one thing I don’t know where you’re at The gun that we’re jumping Some shots you can’t take back Where do you fall What’s your number You’re coming up something else What’s your number I’m running towards trouble I wanna make mistakes Your hair is on fire love Fear is a give and take Where do you fall What’s your number You’re coming up something else What’s your number Draw me a circle Where’s the angle Hey I’m coming up something else What’s your number
9.
Nightshade 04:49
Eyes made Weightless on repeat Nightshade Our youth in your backseat Float down A fighter out on my feet Punch drunk We’re hiding out in our sleep We’re dreamin, we’re dreamin And I don’t wanna wake up And I don’t wanna wake up And I don’t wanna this time Last laugh Illusion of control Shorthand A fraction of the whole No doubt You’re pulling me from the fold Slow down kid You are not as you’re told You’re dreamin, you’re dreamin
10.
Each time we leave I think about it What if we don’t come back If all of this is chasing the wind Why is my head like that Am I to believe Am I to admit That you’re the sea I’m raging with Hey what’s it like to be new in this town Is my place next to yours Will you forgive all my standing around Will you be keeping scores Am I to believe Am I to admit That you’re the sea I’m raging with But in times like these I tend to forget A bad seed like me You’re patient with
