The Clap

IF this is how you want it
Ok, ok, ok

Cool Yourself
02:34
|
|||
Cool yourself
You are flush red
Your ankles make you twist cause the truth made you bend
But oh goddamn
If you wanted it you would
I will not ask anymore
I cannot ask anymore
I will love you like this now
You can recognize it later
But I would never blame you
If you would never stay here

When We Swam
02:58
|
|||
When we swam our love to pieces
We washed up on messy beaches
You cleaned dry
I would not drift yet
I should drink salt water to forget
Oh why, oh why, oh why
Won't you sing
Bring your hips to me
Oh bring your hips to me
Well once I arrived
But you would not receive me
I wanted it all
You could not tell
Then I paid expensive attention to detail
The fall of your face
The wish of the well
The rush of the push
The length of the spell
And you won't
Bring your hips to me
Oh bring your hips to me
You tug so lightly on me
Work like you are on vacation
While I was swept wide
I wept for you across the nation
All my love I do deny
When they place their hands
On both my sides

Know Better Learn Faster
03:49
|
|||
I can't do the real thing
I hurt all my feelings
You gotta keep it kind
You make it a mean while
What a shameful way to be the same
But I need you to be
Better than me
And you need me to do
Better than you
I disarm you in the morning
I was up in arms all night
And now it counts
I am too, too sleepy to fight
Know Better
Learn Faster

Body
03:12
|
|||
What am I just a body in your bed
Won't you reach for the body in your bed
We were the loved ones
Sworn up and down upon
You, you are a dead man
I just have to shoot the gun
What about the future of your vision
With the stare and glare of handsome men and women
It's good to see you, it's too good to see you
What am I just a body in your bed
Won't you reach for the body in your bed
I have been just a body in your bed
Won't you reach for the body in your bed

The Give
03:43
|
|||
Who will run my family business
I leave it mostly unfinished
Why can't I
My oldest is getting married
My youngest can barely bare me
Alive. Live Live Live.
Oh sweet girl remember this:
The saddest ones cannot resist
They'll keep you if you fall for it
But I promise they will never notice
Now I am a gentleman, a gentleman
I taught you how the water moves
Of course I love you a little bit, a little bit
And that does more than I can do
I admit everything you know
An aimless man with places to go
Again. Again.
What gives. Give it to me.

Good Bye Good Luck
02:22
|
|||
We all wrote you songs
We know you like to choose
We asked our lovers to break us
So we could be of use
Good bye good luck
They said
Good bye good luck
So here we come
We have sad sex
We move steady to forget
We swear upon our happening lives
We mined
We bared
We hoped you cared
We agreed to see you next time
They said
Young hearts, you must be different
Not for us, but next time
We don't have strength or patience to hold you
Take care with your neck and your spine
Take care with your neck and your spine
And good luck and good bye

Trouble Was For
02:47
|
|||
Everybody please put your clothes back on
We must see what the trouble was for
And everybody needs sugar from your mouth
But I'll take none for me
I was late
You've run out
Come back, come back, cause I got smart
In the time you took to get this far
A fight so old
Its body complains
I come back cause the punches always hit the same
Not for the world
Would we fall in the way
Of a fight so old
|

9. |
Oh. No.
02:46
|
|||
Hey little one
What do you think you've done
Good ones are going
Best one is gone
Why don't you take it
Where they give it
What makes you think you would
When you didn't
Oh. No.
I meant to come home to you
I meant to stay
I never said what I meant
Now I make my living take me away
Oh. No.

Fixed It!
02:57
|
|||
Since you left I'm only more sincere
I swim in it
Authentic to my ears
But we made it
Won't we save it
And I fixed it
What you hated
Come on
I'll keep it to myself
If I can't sell you some
I'll tell you sober truth
In my sleepy tone
Make sure to be sure are you done with me
I can prove it so your pretty eyes can see
I fall upon my only knees
Recall last time how you were pleased
I'll go with valor everywhere
I will lay so still when you're not there
How about now?
I'll keep it to myself
If I can't sell you some
I'll tell you the sober truth
In my sleepy tone
But I fixed it!

Burn You Up
02:28
|
|||
I try so hard
I give up so violently
I don't know how
I still could go so quietly
You want to go home
You won't take me too
Oh what I lovely start
Oh how I mishandled you
But don't you think we came close
Don't you want to come home with me
But I remember the most
Don't you want a new memory
I will wait the winter long
I think I could burn you up
Quick to taste cause you never know
I think I could burn you up
|
||||
12. |
||||
This is what strangers do
I want no part
I kiss your ears with the truth
How could it hurt so hard
But what did we decide
What can strangers decide
I'd take you to the cinema
We'd share our love and grief
I would be serious, I could be serious
You would be sweet
But oh. What of this desert between
What then of the strangers
What then of us
Hand to chest
How could we forget
|

Easy
03:37
|
|||
I know the stories of those before me
You have so much information
But you only know why not
How come, how come
Look at all the time they got
Before me
I make it easy, easy to stop
I'll make it easy, easy enough
But don't you let me see you weigh the worth
I don't get to leave cause you left first
So don't you let me see you weigh the worth
Before me
I make it easy, easy to stop
Are you gonna keep it easy, easy or what
