You’ll never get some action when you’re messin’ around with talk
I’d be there sooner if I just walk
You tell me you’re the man
But you can’t get with the program
You make a lot of promises but promises just fall through
Now there’s something you need to prove
And if I gotta spell it out: Dude—
You’re wasting my time
Don’t care what you say, it’s what you do
Don’t know why you’re scared, I’m not your momma
You know I’m only here to get the jump
So you better go to work and get it **
Make up your mind
You’re killing my vibe
Why so uptight?
Pull your act together cuz I don’t have all night
Boy, you’re not bright
Starting this fight
You should’ve thought ahead before you swiped me to the right
So stop
And put your money where your mouth is
Your lips are pretty busy writing checks that your ass can’t cash
If you’re thinking that you’ll outlast
Then take it from me:
You’re about to meet your match
You say you got some game but at the buzzer you’re still unsure
My intentions are not that pure
Now you look a little sick…
So I’ll tip you to the cure
Make up your mind
You’re missing your ride
Why you so shy?
Pull your act together cuz I don’t have all night
Boy, you’re uptight
It’s killing my vibe
You should’ve thought ahead before you swiped me to the right
Now go
So I can hit it on the flipside

save yourself

Drinking in the room smoking in the car driving at the speed of sound
The road ahead has a dangerous curve but no one’s slowing down
Out the door on the passenger side is a cliff without a rail
A hundred-foot drop with no bottom in sight and brakes about to fail
It’s you
It’s me
And everything in between
It starts
Again
And everyone loves the pain
It bleeds
It hurts
It’s better when it gets worse
It spreads
It grows
And how it ends no one knows
Coming up for air and coming back to bed and thinking it’ll be okay
Scratching at the sheets and howling at the moon instead of what we oughta say:
“I think that you should leave or maybe I can leave ’cause we’re better off alone”
It’s very good advice and it sounds very nice but it wouldn’t be any fun
It’s you
It’s me
And everything in between
It gets
Insane
Let’s do it all over again
It cuts
It burns
It’s hotter when we take turns
It spreads
It grows
And where it ends no one knows
We need someone to save us from ourselves
We need shelter in the arms of someone else
Throwing up our hands and throwing in the towel let the dishes hit the wall
Pushing to the left and shoving to the right ’til one of us begins to fall
Running out the door and running out of room with nothing left to do but cry
Praying for the best but we’d rather be a mess and nobody can tell us why

Something’s hiding under your bed
Something knows you’re scared of the dark
Something’s putting words in your head
Something’s after you
Something wants to tear out your heart
And wear it on its sleeve
Something needs the air in your lungs
Something says it’s me
I am everything
You love to hate
Only trust the devil you know
Only want the demons you see
Thought you can’t be haunted by ghosts
But you’re starting to believe
I am every heart
You tried to break
Something stalks wherever you go
Something left a mark on your neck
Something found the place where you live
You better start to run
I am everything
You love to hate
I am every heart
You tried to break
You better start to run

Hey you
Why you keep on movin’ oh so fast
Are you hoping I can’t follow where you go
Do you
Think that if I always come in last
You’ll get to be the one who says we’re done
It’s true
I never know the race until it’s run
’Cause you started and you finished on your own
Your cue
To tell me that the game’s already won
Here’s my ribbon, there’s your trophy, it was fun
All the words you say
Then tell me that I never understand
You wanna think you’re talking over my head
Everything you do
Everything you swore you never planned
You wanna think it’s going over my head
Why do you think that I’m too slow
[To read the signals that you’re sending me]
Why do you think that I don’t know
[When you’re gone that you’re not going out alone]
Why do you think that I can’t see
[You’ve got something, you’ve got someone on your mind]
Why do you think you’re fooling me
[When you treat me like I’m deaf and dumb and blind]

fall apart

I know it comes
And it goes
So I’ve just got to let it go
Talking fast
Moving slow
Now I’ve just got to let you know
There’s nowhere left to go
I say yes
You say no
I guess there’s nothing more to know
I aim high
You hit low
And I’ve just got to take the blow
There’s nothing left to show
When everything falls apart
The mirror cracks before it breaks
Faith is strong until it shakes
Dreamers dream ’til they wake
In a bed made of mistakes
I know it dies
While it grows
In the end I’ve got to let it go
Was I friend?
Are you foe?
I think it’s time to tell you so
There’s nothing here to hold
’Cause everything falls apart

I’m an A+ girl
And if you want to know what the plus is for
I’m a girl who deserves a lot more
I’m the girl you need to work for
Don’t ask for a pass ’cause you already failed
Said your word was bond until you bailed
I gave you extra credit now you still want more
But you couldn’t come prepared
So I’m showin’ you the door
Let me instruct you
’Cause you interrupted me
Allow me to correct you
’Cause you incorrected me
I’m an A+ girl
And if you still don’t know what the plus is for
I’m a girl who deserves a lot more
I’m the girl you need to work for
The alarm went off but you didn’t wake up
Instead you blew a test that you can’t make up
My class is demanding so you should’ve read up
Now I’m givin’ U an F
’Cause you keep fucking up
Let me correct you
’Cause you incorrected me
Allow me to direct you
’Cause you disrespected me
If you’re looking for an honorable mention
I suggest you should’ve paid attention
You’d rather slack, so get ready for detention
When you can’t keep up you’re gonna get left back
I’m an A+ girl
Who knows to choose between false and true
I’m a girl who deserves a new guy
I’ve got the A you can kiss goodbye

la ronde

Let me be perfectly clear
And tell you there’s nothing to fear
I’ll love you so long
—or as long as this song—
As long as you’re already gone
Let’s get this out of the way
Before you’ve decided to stay
I’ll want you forever
—or at least ’til whenever—
Provided you just go away
It’s not just a trick of the weather
A question of now or of never
Why should you grieve
Or believe I would need you
So long as we both shall leave
For better, for worse
For rich or for poorer
Are vows with a ring of disaster
Forsaking all others
—at least, ’til I’m dead—
Is a dread that just makes me die faster
So let’s be in love for tonight
The mornings are always too bright
I’ll seem so much better
—and hard-to-forgetter—
If you don’t look that close in the light
Promise you’ll just disappear
I swear I will hold you so dear
And love you moreover
—when this song is over—
As long as you’re no longer here
