Collegiate 03:38
Waking up inside your house Trying catch the warmth that you left on the indent of your bed sheets You're 17, a silk desire So set it on fire With me Meet me by the fountain Reflecting pool You shake the feathers on your gray hat And brush the beads of rain up off your shoulder You're a dorm room desire We'll set it on fire Again Roll down the windows and we'll drive Skipping town to Salem tonight You knit a present and stuffed it up It's haunting and it chokes me up but it's harmless Nothing was as scary as me On that sweet fall evening So wipe the tears off your wrinkled sleeve And take that necklace off It's just a memory Much like me Lock me up in that drawer you put it in It was easy enough for you

Adolescent 03:08
In hotels I'll turn the TV off Why does it feel like I'm nowhere at all I'm sorry I didn't like your sweater But we would always dress for the weather I tried girl You know you tried girl You're electric in my head I got a voltage in my head I know it's bad to be around hush now don't be loud We'll wake them up Don't wake them up The letters you'll never get to read Well we don't talk any more at all I always gave you my coat cause I don't mind the getting in the cold I tried girl You know I tried You're electric in my head I got a voltage in my head I know it's bad to be around hush now don't be loud We'll wake them up Don't wake them up Yeah I want it all, I got it all You said to me you like the fall I taught you all those words Your tongue clutched in your cheek Your innocent but you're a freak Oh God Thats fucked

Upstate 03:17
I can't stop looking at pictures of you Here alone in my dim lit room I can't stop the thoughts you know it's true and The dreams you haunt are never enough So you eat my time up Yeah you eat my time up You took a plane up to Rhode Island in the summer Did you laugh at all of his witty jokes You should know that I hate it so with your Pretty clothes and eyeshadow I hate it New England sky Shimmer off the cars and buildings Like you did in the glow of her eyes Yeah New England sky can I make you mine And most of all I miss the snow as it sits on your hair And most of all I miss the sun as it soaks your skin And most of all I miss your bones And the way they cradle me I miss your bones And the sugar on your cheek New England sky Shimmer off the cars and buildings Like you did in the glow of her eyes Yeah New England sky can I make you mine Oh come on

Always with your orange purse Looking back at Berlin Books and clothes up on your bed and Counting all your new friends You're an astronaut Got a degree in engineering Mine don't mean much It's true But NASA's really proud of you Not too young Spent your twenties on campus housing No you didn't make the Ivy League But your parents are still proud of you Into fashion Throw that parka on It's raining over snow in October Boston street lights pull you away tonight And carry you where you need be Not on my side you're set free Boston street lights pull away tonight You're grains of sand in my hand The tides they pull a hard bend From me

Femme 03:37
Pick up your pride slip it in your pocket Take those little pictures of friends and hang them on your wall Walk with the right crowd And the boys will be there begging you to come around The party's going to be over when you're gone So you'd hold your head high for some made up reason The party's going to be over when you're gone and You had asked why I left but I'd never tell you You don't care at all Hide your skin you don't have enough makeup on Put that little dress on the girls are going out tonight Say the right thing out loud And the boys will stop and stare begging you to come round The party's going to be over when you're gone So you'd hold your head high for some made up reason The party's going to be over when you're gone and You had asked why I left but I'd never tell you You don't care at all You don't The party's going to be over when you're gone So you'd hold your head high for some made up reason The party's going to be over when you're gone and You had asked why I left but I'd never tell you You don't care at all Alright
8.
I found you Sitting on your windowsill A pretty scarf around your neck I'll visit you at night The way you look at me When you've got your keen eye focused On some other boy I won't call you on the land line you won't pick up Kiss me Don't care that I'm second today You got the perfect glasses on Just one last selfish kiss The way you look at me When you've got your keen eye focused On some other boy I won't call you on the land line It's busy I know He's on the phone with you You cheeky little girl You won't be needing me

Saunter 02:32
We took a stroll down the cobblestone roads I thought we didn't have much to go But the long winter stressed our hearts and Yes I'm tired of feeling like that Well don't you know It goes on and on Living inside a Polaroid I'm disenchanted On and on Living inside a Polaroid Well I cant understand it At least you're around it First day of spring on the tips of our tongues It lifted into the cool air The ice is still surrounding us and Yes I fell into the Charles My feet were cold before then It goes on and on Living inside a Polaroid I'm disenchanted On and on Living inside a Polaroid Well I cant understand it At least you're around it It goes on and on Living inside a Polaroid I'm disenchanted On and on Living inside a Polaroid Well I cant understand it At least you're around it Glass of Merlot I'm so shallow I should get home Always walking on my own

Abroad 03:02
This won't Be the last time You'll say goodbye to Manhattan and the sun Drive my car We're leaving tonight So come on Shout it out How else am I Supposed to know you care Last light on Montreal So shy How sweet the sounds of youth are in my head Oh no we're lost again Drive my car We're leaving tonight So come on Shout it out How else am I Supposed to know you care Trust me Your hair looks fine

Modern Taste 04:19
White flakes and Golden shakes That beige chiffon In modern taste Hopeless romantics You don't care much for cigarettes but Baby blue your fragile chest is Enough to keep me warm I can be your boy Your boy Your consolation prize In time Whoa Black lace A steady face You don't pick up You leave no trace What do you have to prove You don't care much for Hi-tops and studs So roll up your jeans and Pull back your cuffs Your pastel wardrobe is fucked I can be your boy Your boy Your consolation prize In time Whoa We'll set it off inside my room We'll set it off inside my room Oh come on and just Set it off inside my room Yeah come on and just Set it off inside my room
13.
Dormancy 03:47
Come on over Lock the door behind you I'll take your coat Take your shoes off Hide in my covers Throw your bags under my bed Leave your clothes along the cold hardwood floor The sugar melts off your lips and I'm not tired of you keeping me up all night No need for sleep Moved out in the summer Your mother knit your sweater Patched your coats up A cold winter ahead Wrote your life on tiny paper triangles Now rub the lead off your hands The sugar melts off your lips and I'm not tired of you keeping me up all night No need for sleep Your body in disarray You wake up early You don't take a glance back You've got an agenda Well the seasons just aren't the same Without you
