DRESS
I used to own a dress like that.
I wore it all the time.
I wore it out until I wore it out.
I wanna try it on.
It doesn’t suit me anymore.
A piece of cloth I can’t afford.
I wanna try it on.
I knew he wanted to,
but I knew why and it’s not
what I’m looking for.
He doesn’t suit me anymore.
I used to own a dress like that
I wore it out until I wore it out.
Until I wore it out I wore it out.
It doesn’t suit me anymore.
A piece of cloth I can’t afford.
I wanna try it on.
I wanna try it on.
I wanna try it on. |

GIVEN A CHANCE
all the chances that i’ve taken took me here
all the lessons along the way they taught me how to be today
given a chance i’d give it all away
given a chance i’d be giving it all
i’ve given a lesson or two of my own and
every time it ends up there’s something new to know
i safely deposit inside my chest
collections of long lost friends
directions to all my best and
given a chance i’d give it all away
given a chance i’d be giving it all
given a chance to, i’d give you it all
given a chance to (given the chance to) i’d give you it all
(given the chance to) i’d give you it all
(given the chance to) i’d give you it all |

HELLO
Somebody’s knocking
You haven’t seen this kind before
Although you’re underdressed and the phone is ringing
You know you’ll open up the door
You know you’ll let him in
You know you’ll let him in
You know you’ll let him in
You know you’ll let him inSomebody’s knocking
You haven’t seen this kind before
Although you’re underdressed and the phone is ringing
You know you’ll open up the door
You know you’ll let him in
You know you’ll let him in
You know you’ll let him in
You know you’ll let him in
You know you’ll let him in
You know you’ll let him in
You know you’ll let him in |

POSSESSION
You’re up too late my friend
don’t further complicate this mess
it’s up to us to smooth it all out nice.
we are the ones to love her tonight.
Seems like someone stands between
Your bed and your dreams
Do you think there’s someone I should meet?
Far Far from ordinary infidelity,
Truth unfolds, Monster shows,
Demon grows on the fourth floor abode
craving takes her by the throat
alien tentacles have hold
daughter’s left at home alone
man and child eyes are wild
wanna know where’d you go?
just a child
she doesn’t know where her mother goes
a little girl wants her mother home
she wants her mother home
what she doesn’t know
don’t let her know
what she doesn’t know
don’t let her know what she doesn’t know
don’t let her know. let her shine
let her shine
let her shine |

ACCIDENTAL INVITATION
It’s all right, you didn’t show
Your invite was my mistake, I take the blame
My insight, it was out on break when we talked
It slipped right out my mouth to add you on
The guestlist had already been closed
And then you didn’t show
The red room never looked so fresh
Cake and flowers and best dressed friends
Of all the presents, my favorite one from you
None at all – no phone call
To say why you didn’t show
You didn’t show
You’ve given me the best birthday baby
You’ve given me the biggest goodbye ever
No contact. No call back
You didn’t show
You didn’t show |

ALL STARS
Who owns the all stars in the living room?
Who’s hat is on the kitchen table? How rude!
How do you expect me to eat?
How’s your food? How’s it tasting?
You call this homesick. I call it home.
You call this home. I call it home.
Indecision independent of who’s at bat.
Those chops are gonna make or break me, that’s that.
Now you swing. One hit, then we lose
Everything for careless chosing.
You call this homesick. I call it home.
You call this home. I call it home.
Urban flowers have been planted around the trees
They live longer than you’d expect you say to me
Seems the city wears a new face everyday
And you can’t go back to where you used to eat
You can’t go back to that.
You can’t go back to that.
That don’t belong to you, you can’t go back
You can’t come back for that,
No matter what your proof
Who owns the deep space you call home?
Rename it. Now call it your own. |

LAZY RAINY HOLIDAY
this sunless day
this carpet beige
at home I’ll stay
on a lazy rainy holiday
just one more hour please upon the pillow, dear
just five more minutes is all I need, right here
just let me keep my toes tucked deep in these red flannel sheets
then I promise you, I promise I’ll leave
then I promise you, I promise I’ll leave
then I promise you, I promise I’ll leave
this deal was made
from far across the bay
at your home I stayed too late.
too late, like a lazy rainy holiday
just one more hour please upon the pillow, dear
just five more minutes is all I need, right here
just let me keep my toes tucked deep in these grey flannel sheets
then I promise you, I promise I’ll leave
then I promise you, I promise I’ll leave
then I promise you, I promise I’ll leave
then I promise you, I promise I’ll leave
then I promise you, I promise I’ll leave |
