(ON MY) MIND
I miss you on the ceiling
When your hair is weeping down above my eyes
How come I always sing when I’m stealing
And dream of things I used to memorize
It gets cold on a satellite
So hold me in your hand
You are always
You are always on my mind
You are always
You are always on my mind
Until the end of time
You should say what I’m thinking
Everything I know you taught me twice
And I’ll try to save your soul when you’re drinking
But God forbid I take my own advice
It gets cold on another night
So hold me in your hand
You are always
You are always on my mind
You are always
You are always on my mind
Until the end of time
Until the end of time
Until the end of time
You are always
You are always on my mind
You are always
You are always on my mind
Until the end of time
Until the end of time
Until the end of time

Say When

SAY WHEN
I don’t think I’m in the right place
The night isn’t mine
They’re making a name for themselves
On borrowed time
I can still taste the smoke in her hair
Coffee on my breath
I wanted to see for myself
Kids cheating death
But now I want to go home
These aren’t our friends
We don’t belong here
(Come with me)
‘Cause I wanna be ignored
I wanna be ignored
You think there’s plenty of time
But I know we’re cutting it close
You think we’re fine on our own
But they’ll never leave us alone
You think I won’t run again
But you just need to say when
Say when
Say when
Say when
Say when
I want you to look at me now
The way that you would
I’m not meant to stand in your way
So I’d always fall when I could
Take me home
All my words
Only made it worse
(Come with me )
‘Cause I wanna be ignored
I wanna be ignored
You think there’s plenty of time
But I know we’re cutting it close
You think we’re fine on our own
But they’ll never leave us alone
You think I won’t run again
But you just need to say when
Say when
Say when
Say when
Say when

WET CLOTHES
I regret the way that I met you
Such a little thing
But you never saw me
And I never held you right
You came right in
Like it was your apartment
Wearing the rain so I’d know to resist you
You said ‘it couldn’t wait’
I looked through your shirt
I knew it’d be the last time
I’d see you like this
I’m going to think about it forever
When you knew me
I still hear you in the weather
But you lose me
My whole life
I’ll follow that sound
Maybe you’re with him
And maybe you’re nowhere
But when the rain’s coming down
You’re with me in wet clothes
Did I deserve what I lost?
Same as before
I’ll sleep through the summer
My heart, it doesn’t beat to the rhythm outside
So until you call for me
I’m going to think about it forever
I’m going to think about it forever
I’m going to think about it forever
When you knew me
I still hear you in the weather
But you lose me
My whole life
I’ll follow that sound
Maybe you’re with him
And maybe you’re nowhere
But when the rain’s coming down
You’re with me in wet clothes
Did I deserve what I lost?

UNBECOMING
I’m unbecoming
All the things I never thought that I could live without
And if I dance with death when I hold my breath
I could dare to change my mind
And say it’s too late for time
Yeah
Say what you want to me
And then I’ll read your mind
Tell me I’m anything
Make these stars align
I know what you did
But I’ll find the good in it
I’ve got souls to save
But I don’t know where to take them
I’ve got all I need, but do I?
I’ve got some kind of fire in my eyes
That I don’t recognize
I’m unbecoming
All the things I never thought that I could live without
And if I dance with death when I hold my breath
I could dare to change my mind
And say it’s too late for time
Yeah
Say what you want to me
And then I’ll draw a line
I’m so bored with everything
Your angel under mine
I know what you did
But I see myself in it
I’ve got souls to save
But I don’t know where to take them
I’ve got all I need, but do I?
I’ve got some kind of fire in my eyes
That I don’t recognize
I’m unbecoming
All the things I never thought that I could live without
And if I dance with death when I hold my breath
I could dare to change my mind
And say it’s too late for time
Yeah

SWAN DIVES
You’d tell me how you felt sometimes
Unusual like always
Seasick on a subway train
Swan dives on your mind
I’m not lonely
But I’ve got time
I’m not one to pretend like you're mine
Shallowing sounds
Leave all the lights on
And wait ’til the night’s gone
I’m not your heart
I’m not your heart
I’m not your heart
I know I’m not
You’d tell me what to do sometimes
Unusual like always
Poke some fun at graveyard speak
And bedroom eulogies
I’m not lonely
But I’m nearby
I’m not one to play dead before I die
Shallowing grounds
Leave all the lights on
And wait ’til the night’s gone
I’m not your heart
I’m not your heart
I’m not your heart
I know I’m not
Dream me down
‘Cause I miss extraordinary
Dream me down
Or lose me sleep
Before I dive too deep
Leave all the lights on
And wait ’til the night’s gone
I’m not your heart
I’m not your heart
I’m not your heart
I know I’m not
Swan dives
Swan dives
Swan dives
Swan dives

MARRYING FOR LOVE
I had a feeling that you’d call me baby
But I kinda thought that I’d be someone else
Still you know it feels good
I had a feeling that you’d show me something
But I kinda thought that we’d be by ourselves
Still you know it feels good
To somersault the night
I’m not above
Marrying for love
My life is only under you
Yeah, I’m not above
Marrying for love
Might say it’s even overdue
‘Cause you know I’m not above
Marrying for love
I had a feeling that you’d need me someday
And I was kinda scared that I would need you back
But God you know it feels good
Good enough to cry
I’m not above
Marrying for love
My life is only under you
And we’re not below
Giving it a go
Might say it’s even overdue
'Cause you know I’m not above
Marrying for love

THE NOMINEE
Fall from below
The boy’s the undertow
So what?
I don’t want to be
The nominee
Release me
Burst with the moon
The boy’s a blond balloon
So what?
Won’t you come and free
The nominee
Release me
Can you hear your heart in me?
Is it sitting still
Humming fire drills?
Fall from below
The boy is mistletoe
So what?
I was meant to be
The nominee
Release me
Release me
Release me
But before you free
The nominee
Dance with me
Your nominee
They’ve come to see
The nominee
Release me
Release me

OVERJOY
You found me a good time
That I don’t understand
I just sit and wait for your eyes
To light up again
Is there anyone out there (I know)
Is there anyone out there (I’ve done)
Is there anything out there?
I did what I do best
Believe it
Show me the stars under the light of day
Nobody ever takes my breath away
Show me your love
But tell me anyway
You’ve always meant to mean what you mean to say
Bargain, borrow, destroy
Yeah, I’m overjoy
You found me a good time
The kind I’d never want
How did I end up
Everybody’s confidant?
Is there anyone out there (I know?)
Is there anyone out there (I’ve done?)
Is there anything out there?
I did what I do best
Believe it
Show me the stars under the light of day
Nobody ever takes my breath away
Show me your love
But tell me anyway
You’ve always meant to mean what you mean to say
Bargain, borrow, destroy
Yeah, I’m overjoy

DIE
I want to die
But there’s no use in telling you why
I hate how it sounds
And I don’t have the grounds
To pursue it
I want to die
But you don’t have to worry tonight
I love you too much
I don’t mean it a touch
I won’t do it
I swore that I knew
How to it felt to be you
I’m so selfish
I swore off my life
Before I met my wife
In a daydream after dark
As long as you need something
I’ll find it to give
As long as you need someone
I’ll find him in me
And I’ll stay wherever you want us to be
As long as you let your time
Die with me
I want to die
But there’s no way I’m saying goodbye
When the planet turns cold
And our photos get old
We’ll get through it
The moon & the blinds
Turn your skin into lines
I’m not moving
The sun & the glass
Are like honey & brass
Yeah, I’m dreaming after all
As long as you need something
I’ll find it to give
As long as you need someone
I’ll find him in me
And I’ll stay wherever you want us to be
As long as you let your time
Die with me
You swore that you knew
What it meant to be blue
Like it matters
I swore off my life
Before I met my wife
In a daydream after dark

HEAVEN MOVES
It’s not my fault
That I’ve been doing alright
The world’s unfair
We felt so old
But it was only the light
Let’s get young somewhere
In my heart
I store up everything you do
In case something should happen
To everything else
I want you
And I want you to lead
We’ll dance under the doom
When Heaven moves
And all of my love is still with you
When Heaven moves
We’ll dance under the doom
When Heaven moves
Like nothing ever happened
When Heaven Moves
You found my pain
While you were being polite
The world’s unfair
I love your mind
But you weren’t thinking all right
Let’s be dumb somewhere
In my heart
I’d never turn you into me
We mock the possibility
I want you
I want you to lead
We’ll dance under the doom
When Heaven moves
All of my love is still with you
When Heaven moves
We’ll dance under the doom
When Heaven moves
Like nothing ever happened
When Heaven Moves
