She was leaving, looking for an out
Reinventing, resurrecting hope
Eyes are open, never mind the doubt
Play it again
Force to be reckoned with
Play it instead
Giving up everything
She was leaving, looking out for love
Circumventing, never-ending art
In the dream we never wake up
Play it again
Force to be reckoned with
Play it instead
Giving up everything
She was leaving, staring at the sun
Mesmerizing, polarizing song
Disconnecting lines we travel
Play it again
Force to be reckoned with
Play it instead
Giving up everything

I know I’ll take this jumpsuit
Just wanna try it on for fun
Whiskey lyric fashion show for an audience of one
I’ve never worn these heels
But I wanna strap them on
Magic silver sirens prance to the beat of their own song
It goes:
No bra is the best bra
It’s a shame we have to leave the house
No pants are the best pants
If you wanna dance it out
No laws are the best laws
In the country of my room
No flaws when I’m with you
I need this purple lipstick
For a video
Cosmic kissing colors glow like strobe lights in the studio
It goes:
No bra is the best bra
It’s a shame we have to leave the house
No pants are the best pants
If you wanna dance it out
No laws are the best laws
In the country of my room
No flaws when I’m with you

Scan the painted page
Feeling so teenage
Cut & paste my brain
The summer’s hotter
I thought about your heart
Guess I was the worst
But who can escape first?
The fall feels farther
You get inside, you get inside, you get inside my head
You get inside, you get inside my head, inside of my head
Demolition day
So much for giving thanks
Stand up on the train
The winter’s harder
Feeling the deluge
Digital refuge
Breathing in your fugue
The spring gets louder
You get inside, you get inside, you get inside my head
You get inside, you get inside my head
And I guess what I wanted to say
I’m sorry I got carried away
You get inside, you get inside, you get inside my head
You get inside, you get inside my head, inside of my head
You get inside, you get inside, you get inside my head
You get inside, you get inside my head, inside of my head
And I guess what I wanted to say...

It’s 11 on a Monday night
I’ve gotta study, but I’ve got this song to write
I wanna be back out in the crowd
Playing hard, singing loud
Instead of sweating on this podium
I don’t wanna go to school
I don’t wanna go
What if I wake up in a tour van?
Never have, never can for now
But maybe later
I’m bashing myself in again
I force the music out, and the numbers in
I do it well
I’ve found a special kind of hell
I don’t wanna go to school
I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna go to school…
Let’s go
Because college is more fun than working in the real world
But rocking is more fun than working
When it’s the only thing you’re cleared to do
And I’m finished, yeah I did it
But I’m locked up, I’m committed
Trying to keep up my momentum
Yeah, I need my next adventure with you
I don’t wanna go to school
I don’t wanna go to school
I don’t wanna go to school
I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna go to school…
Let’s go

(Explicit)
I don't wanna be clean and pure
That would be a lie for fucking sure
Am I righteous?
Am I doing the right shit?
Wiping high touch surfaces
Riding on high horses, I don't like it
But am I doing it right, kid?
Done, done, done it again
No more fun and no friends
Pull it together, pretend that it's all normal
Dumb-dumb, done it again
Get me out of this mess
I wear my smile like a mask, but you can't see it
You better believe it
I don't wanna be cool with it
I wanna freak out and lose my fucking shit tomorrow
But I gotta be righteous
I don't wanna be good no more
Shut my mouth and follow patriarchal law
I just gotta trust science
Done, done, done it again
No more fun and no friends
Pull it together, pretend that it's all normal
Whoa you’ve
Dumb-dumb, done it again
Get me out of this mess
I wear my smile like a mask, but you can't see it
They tell me:
Do the right thing (do nothing!), do the right thing
Do the right thing (do nothing!), do the right thing
Do the right thing (do nothing!), do the right thing
Do the right thing with me, c’mon
I said:
Do the right thing (do nothing!), do the right thing
Do the right thing (do nothing!), do the right thing
Do the right thing (do nothing!), do the right thing
Do the right thing today
And I won't miss work from home
No, I won't miss online shows
I remember kissing everyone I know
Now you’ve done, done, done it again…
Done, done it again
Done, done it again
Done, done it again
Done, done it again, again, again…
Whoa, you’ve done, done, done it again
No more fun and no friends
Pull it together, pretend that it's all normal
Whoa you’ve
Dumb-dumb, done it again
Won’t you get me out of this mess?
I wear my smile like a mask, but you can't see it
You better believe it

Daydream

We met in the aisle on Coolidge Corner
Where we shared a smile like a magazine cover
But you had two other girlfriends
And I was in love with my best friend
Swinging with you, sunshine and rainbows
A park rendezvous, failed three-way make out
And I was aching from the showdown
I flew back to Minnesota
Spell it out for me (spell it out for me)
It’s not like we could ever be anybody
Here or there
Let it go, you see (let it go, you see)
We’re all still hanging on the same sad daydream
There’s still time
You moved to New York, got into computers
Where you see your work as prisms and numbers
Now you use gender neutral pronouns
And I’m still sleeping in the same town
Spell it out for me (spell it out for me)
It’s not like we could ever be anybody
Here or there
Let it go, you see (let it go, you see)
We’re all still hanging on the same sad daydream
There’s still time
I cannot live it down (spell it out for me)
I cannot live it down (spell it out for me)
I cannot live it down (spell it out for me)
I cannot live it down (spell it out for me)
I cannot live it down

Strobe lights like the kind that turn you on
The cold bites, but we’re inside making art
You should remember
It’s who you’ve always been
You should remember
Who you are
Can’t give it up (as if you ever could!)
Can’t give it up
Pick up the ancient Jaguar
Feedback through the silence in the dark
You should remember
It’s who you’ve always been
You should remember
Who you are
Can’t give it up (as if you ever could!)
Can’t give it up
Can’t give it up (as if you ever would!)
Can’t give it up

You said “I’m late to get laid”
Checking your wrist
But you don’t move away
Pull me in for a kiss
You drag me under your lips
Is your head right up your ass?
Are you having such a blast?
Are you really that insecure?
No one really knows for sure
Inane 2 am thoughts in my head
Singing like I mean it
It’s crazy how we get used to this
I know your happiness is none of my business
You, you don’t want me
You just want me to like you
You, you don’t want me
You just want me
You just want me to like you
You want me to like you
Is it possible that you don’t even know?
I think it’s intentional
The way you torture me, slow, so
Is your head right up your ass?
Are you having such a blast?
Are you really that insecure?
No one really knows for sure
Inane 3 am alone in my bed
Consciousness is spinning
It’s crazy how we get used to this
I know my happiness is none of your business
You, you don’t want me
You just want me to like you
You, you don’t want me
You just want me to like you
You, you don’t want me
You just want me to like you
You, you don’t want me
You just want me
You just want me to like you
You want me to like you

Been a second since I’ve seen your strange face dirty frown
I can’t hear you when you whisper in my ear because the music’s loud
We get to talking and it’s something special
No use slowing down
Read my lips, you see we’ve got potential, baby
I wanna see your mouth
Been a minute since I’ve cringed at your mustache growing out
Not a good look on you but I hear you do it for the clout
We get to talking and it’s something special
I could take you out
Read my lips, you see we’ve got potential, baby
I wanna see your mouth
I wanna see your mouth
I wanna see your mouth, I wanna see your mouth
Been forever since I’ve kissed your lipstick painted pout
Wanna French twist baby without nothing left to worry ‘bout
We get to talking and it’s something special
I could throw it down
Read my lips you see we’ve got potential, baby
I wanna see your mouth
I wanna see your mouth
I wanna see your mouth
I wanna see your mouth, I wanna see your mouth

I hate listen, but I swoon
Run the edges of my room
Everyday like Buddy Holly
I ignore it, but I stan
Eat the treats out of your hand
Drive my car like Paul McCartney
Cuz I run underground
I scavenge what’s found
I hate you, but I can’t
Wanna talk to you, repent
We’re not friends, we’re something less
Rat people, rat rat people
Rat people, rat rat people
Rat people, rat rat people
Rat people
Rats!
I dismiss you, but I care
Groom the dirt out of my hair
Dig me out like Carrie Brownstein
I forgive you, but I brood
Run the mazes of my mood
Play a trick like Mary Timony
Cuz I go underground
I ravage what’s found
Rat people, rat rat people
Rat people, rat rat people
Rat people, rat rat people
Rat people
Rats!
I hate you, but I can’t
Wanna talk to you, repent
We’re not friends, we’re something less
Rat people, rat rat people
Rat people, rat rat people
Rat people, rat rat people
Rat people
Rats!

When I saw you walk in the room
It’s like gravity doesn’t work, drawing me into you
What the fuck am I supposed to say?
Never could really trust my heart since you went away
It’s too late to go back to before
You don’t touch me like friends anymore
And I can’t look in your eyes
I’m scared of what I’ll find
Wish I could read your mind
But I don’t wanna try
You tell me that your life is a mess
And lately I have been a nervous wreck
Didn’t wanna tell you like this
Did you know that you still have that effect?
It’s too late to go back to before
I don’t trust you like friends anymore
And I can’t look in your eyes
I’m scared of what I’ll find
Wish I could read your mind
But I don’t wanna try
It’s too late to go back to before
I don’t wanna be friends anymore
And I can’t look in your eyes
I’m scared of what I’ll find
Wish I could read your mind
But I don’t wanna try
Wish I could read your mind
But I don’t wanna try
Don’t wanna try…
Don’t wanna try

You tell me that the worst is yet to come
And somehow I thought I’d be the exception
So are you happy with life?
Your boyfriend’s home with his wife
Look left, look right, it’s just the evil eye
I got no time to even try
If you’re the mayor of this town
You call the shots, we’ve got it down
So string me up and cut me out
You put words in my mouth
You tell me I should just do what I want
Clip the roses from your secret garden
So are you happy with life?
You doing well? So am I
Same suit, same shine, it’s just the evil eye
Who the hell am I to try?
If you’re the mayor of this town
You call the shots, we’ve got it down
So string me up and cut me out
You put words in my mouth
If you’re the mayor of this town
You turn it up, we burn it down
So wring me out and shut me up
You put words in my mouth
You put words in my mouth (put words in my mouth)
You put words in my mouth (put words in my mouth)
You put words in my mouth (put words in my mouth), in my mouth

Gather your things
Wait up for spring
Acting your role in the scene
Stick out your arm
Swallow the harm
Playing a part on the screen
Act like you’ve been through the winter before
As the snow covers your door
Act like you’ve been through this winter before
As you sound the alarm
Ambulance lights
Mud colored white
Tune it all out with your stride
Soft collared fight
Trembling bright
Taking it all like the tide
Act like you’ve been through the winter before
As the snow covers your door
Act like you’ve been through this winter before
As you sound the alarm
Gather your things
Wait up for spring
Rubbing the mic when you sing
Swab out your nose
It’s what you chose
Striking a pose with the strings
Act like you’ve been through the winter before
As the snow covers your door
Act like you’ve been through this winter before
As you sound the alarm
As you sound the alarm
