Guess I'll make my living writing sad songs for whoever comes around to this street corner where I find myself falling in love over and over and over. No I'm guaranteed to not get this right, no not in this life. Not in this life. I fell backwards into your arms when I couldn't hold myself and that's not fair to you or me or her. No I'm guaranteed to not get this right, no not in this life. Not in this life.

The grass is green on this side too, but you prefer a specific hue. Don't drown me out with cold glasses of champagne. Daisy please love me till my dying breath, Daisy I promise I will take the rep, Even though you blood-stained my yellow Corvette, you know I love you anyway. So I'll stop picking flowers for you, and I'll stop killing in cold blood for you. You don't care about me, you don't care about my money. You don't care about me, you don't care about my money. Promises and notes unread, I lived for years with you in my head. Now you're here and I can't believe I'm holding gold in my arms. But Daisy your roots are growing in, and your bed of lies is stretched way to thin, even though you said you never once loved him, I know you're lying through your teeth. So I'll stop picking flowers for you, and I'll stop killing in cold blood for you. You don't care about me, you don't care about my money. You don't care about me, you don't care about my money. So I'll stop picking flowers for you, and I'll stop killing in cold blood for you. You don't care about me, you don't care about my money. You don't care about me, you don't care about my money.

Being manipulative again spearmint kisses through migraine foreheads this is the best one yet, this is the best one yet I think I've lost it again, think I might just be crazy this is the best one yet, this is the best one yet Think I've done it again listening to to indie in the back of someone's van this is the best one yet, this is the best one yet Spun out like candy in my head I'm unravelling once again this is the best one yet, this is the best one yet You were the best I ever had, you were the best I'll ever get. You chained my heart from head to chest. This is the best I'll ever get. You were the best I ever had, you were the best I'll ever get. You chained my heart from head to chest. This is the best I'll ever get.

Oregano 02:49
Your own mother can't look you in the eye, strung out from leaves and too much time. I called to see if you were doing fine, and if for once in your life you could try to do things right. You said: "Sorry I don't know who this is. I lied I just don't care about what you said, so I'll just keep getting high with my friends and forget about you again and again and again and again and again." You can't look yourself in the eyes for too long. You see the disappointment lying there. I called to see if you were doing fine, and if for once in your life you could try and do this right. You said: "Sorry I don't know who this is. I lied I just don't care about what you said, so I'll just keep getting high with my friends and forget about you again and again and again and again and again."

Swingset 04:32
I've outgrown this playground, gotten my fair share of splinters. Creaky swing sets were always my favorite, but they can't support me anymore. Where were you when I put myself back? Where you when I put myself back, when I pushed myself on the swing set? Raccoons and pet cemeteries. I couldn't stay grounded even then. Where were you when I put myself back? Where you when I put myself back, when I pushed myself on the swingset?
