Track Lyrics
Heart Is Hard to Find Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't compete with the clear eyes of strangers
I'm more and more replaced by my friends each night
I can't compete
I just can't recover
How many years it's been
It's day one in my mind
That's the first step, each time
[Chorus]
The heart is hard to find
Yes, the heart is hard to find
It's hard to find the heart sometimes
[Verse 2]
I can't compete with your new-found religion
The good word seems everywhere
But good words only
I can't compete with a real education
All the fucked up things you say
Couldn't possibly be any less help to me
[Chorus]
The heart is hard to find
Yes, the heart is hard to find
It's hard to find the heart sometimes
[Instrumental break]
The heart is hard to find
The heart is hard to find
[Outro]
It's hard to find the heart sometimes
Heart
It's hard to find the heart sometimes
Heart
It's hard to find the heart sometimes
Heart
Sometimes
My Best Theory Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's been a long time, so long
There's only one life I know (I know)
But I have my own mind
I'll say so if it seems right (air rush out)
I see your warm face with the soft mouth
But it speaks something else (else)
I'll take my chances with the cast down
We can feel the air...
[Chorus]
Rush out, out from the center
Not like one side is any better
Stand up as they bend, reaching
My best theory?
It’s already in me
In me
[Break]
(We can feel, we can feel the air rush out)
[Verse 3]
So many questions
And the answers come back unanswered
Let's hold the old script
It's a new twist
You can feel the air...
[Chorus]
Rush out, out from the center
Not like one side is any better
Stand up as they bend, reaching
My best theory?
It’s already in me
[Bridge]
In a lonely, real place
Neither part nor mistake
Love what you have with your time
By dousing, find my true desire
My threat, my appetite
(My true desire)
I feel the air...
[Chorus]
Rush out, out from the center
Not like one side is any better
Stand up as they bend, reaching
My best theory?
It’s already in me
Rush out, out from the center
Not like one side is any better
Stand up as they bend, reaching
My best theory?
It’s already in me
In me
Evidence Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Follow you around until it's time, time to leave
Swimming into the idea of your scene
There all the while, proving patiently
I earned to lie by you when you fall asleep
[Chorus]
Hang up a sheet
Between our things
Won't have to see
Evidence
Evidence
[Verse 2]
I watched you put on a dress I'd never seen
Something that begged for East Atlantic breeze
There all the while, hated quietly
There, just to see a smile... anything
[Chorus]
Hang up a sheet
Between our things
Won't have to see
Evidence
[Post-Chorus]
You did what you did
The memory lives
Nothing cleans
Evidence
Evidence
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus]
Hang up a sheet
Between our things
Won't have to see
Evidence
[Post-Chorus]
You did what you did
The memory lives
Nothing cleans
Evidence
[Outro]
Evidence [7x]
Higher Devotion Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The quiet should be nice but isn't
I guess we're going to spend the day like this
In psychic screaming
And don't you feel my eye-lasers hit?
I stare you down, but God, your skin is thick
What's it take to notice?
[Chorus]
Show me you can read my mind
You're useless to me if you
Don't know the why or how
Or what my body needs
Give me something I can feel
Show me you can read my mind
Read my mind
Read my mind
[Verse 2]
I'm tired of all the war you bring home
I command a higher devotion
You better get busy
What makes you think I'd give in for less?
I'm only happy with my happiness
If you push me over, it's over
[Chorus]
Show me you can read my mind
You're useless to me if you
Don't know the why or how
Or what my body needs
Give me something I can feel
Show me you can read my mind
Read my mind
Read my mind
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus]
Show me you can read my mind
You're useless to me if you
Don't know the why or how
Or what my body needs
Give me something I can feel
Show me you can read my mind
Read my mind
Read my...
Show me you can read my mind
You're useless to me if you
Don't know the why or how
Or what my body needs
Give me something I can feel
Show me you can read my mind
Read my mind
Read my mind
Movielike Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A face coming down in streaks
All alone with your things
The apartment still ringing
Clean up and make my start
Not the way I hoped for
Welcome to New York
[Chorus]
Nothing movie-like
And nothing magic
People just tire to fight the constant battle
Waiting to see a sign?
Then you've seen the best already
[Verse 2]
The train comes at 1:15
He said, "Maybe I'll leave
Give you time, let you think."
Don't know just what he wants
'Cause I'm all that I've got
But this time, I'm on it
[Chorus]
Nothing movie-like
And nothing magic
People just tire to fight the constant battle
Waiting to see a sign?
Then you've seen the best already
Then you've seen the best already
Then you've seen the best already
[Bridge]
This time believe it
Believe me
This time you'd better believe it
You know I'm gone
[Chorus]
Nothing movie-like
Nothing magic
People just tire to fight the constant battle
Waiting to see a sign?
Then you've seen the best already
[Outro]
Then you've seen the best already
Then you've seen the best already
Then you've seen the best already
Coffee and Cigarettes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I finally finished school
It was the first thing that I did
What every townie kid dreams of
I packed and started west
A thousand dollars I had saved
And my sister's two cassettes
The Dead from Fillmore East
And Otis Redding's Greatest Hits
[Chorus]
Coffee and cigarettes
As simple as it gets
Of all the things I think I'll miss
There's staying up with you
Coffee and cigarettes
Coffee and cigarettes
[Verse 2]
Then, I commit with some restraint
To a boy I thought might care
It didn't work but I found out soon
And never dug roots there
I've been a lot of places since
And nothing else compares
To easy times and easy eyes
To meet you in a stare
[Chorus]
Coffee and cigarettes
As simple as it gets
Of all the things I think I'll miss
There's staying up with you
Coffee and cigarettes
Coffee and cigarettes
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
When I finally finished school
It was the first thing that I did
What every townie kid dreams of
I packed and started west
[Chorus]
Coffee and cigarettes
As simple as it gets
Of all the things I think I'll miss
There's staying up with you
Coffee and cigarettes
[Outro]
There's staying up with you
Coffee and cigarettes
Coffee and cigarettes
There's staying up with you
Coffee and cigarettes
Stop Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't have to be the prettiest
If you have the mind and willingness
No one stops a girl who knows what she’s got
No reason why
I can't help following with my eyes
Even at my best
I guess I'm still just one of them
[Chorus]
I see it all in my head
The cool hands on your sweat
You wanna make me mad?
Stop 'cause I am
[Verse 2]
A combination of strong and lost
How easily you turn, then turn it off
Do you take what you want
Then save it for a better time?
Don't act that way
Honey, I don't buy it at all
If you're really as tough as your defenses
You'd let them fall
[Chorus]
I see it all in my head
The cool hands on your sweat
You wanna make me mad?
Stop 'cause I am
You can call this a game
You can look at my face
You wanna hurt me, baby?
Stop 'cause you have
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus]
I see it all in my head
The cool hands on your sweat
You wanna make me mad?
Stop 'cause I am
You can call this a game
You can look at my face
You wanna hurt me, baby?
Stop 'cause you have
[Outro]
You wanna see me mad?
Stop 'cause I am
You wanna hurt me, baby?
Stop 'cause you have
Littlething Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's how I've often felt
When I find myself
Oh, on nights like these
Like Christmas Eve
From the empty office window
To the street outside
It's everything not to call
And find out why
[Chorus]
It's just a little thing
Buried in the other things
Burning away, from inside
Would you stay with me tonight?
And there's a quiet dream
I'm not supposed to think
Eating away at my mind
Could you be with me tonight?
[Verse 2]
On the cab ride, you said nothing
Just hair all in your face
But I was scared to name it
And nothing changed
So, I walked 'til I just couldn't
Too late, I understood
It was always half invented
But the other half was good
[Chorus]
It's just a little thing
Buried in the other things
Burning away, from inside
Would you stay with me tonight?
And there's a quiet dream
I'm not supposed to think
Eating away at my mind
Could you be with me tonight?
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I know, it's just a little thing
Buried in the other things
Burning away, from inside
Would you stay with me tonight?
And there's a quiet dream
I know, I shouldn't think
Eating away at my mind
Could you stay with me tonight?
It's just a little thing
Buried in the other things
Burning away, from inside
Would you stay with me tonight?
And there's a quiet dream
I know, I shouldn't think
Eating away at my mind
Stay with me tonight
Cut Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I made it
And now, there's no turning back
I know there's no depth you wouldn't sink for the chance
I'm sorry, boy
I'm not cut for this no more
[Verse 2]
You came in
Yeah, you happened to me
And so, I waited and nothing else has since
I'm sorry, boy
But I'm no good for you no more
[Chorus]
If it's your name in lights
And if the time is yours
Then, you'd be on your back
You'd be on this floor
It's the kind of night that I'd always hoped
And he's the kind of guy worth waiting for
[Verse 3]
There's always some baggage you've got to check
And yeah, I'm trying
Hope that you'd understand
I'm sorry, boy
I'm not cut for this no more
[Chorus]
If it's your name in lights
And if the time is yours
You'd be on your back
You'd be on the floor
It's the kind of night that I'd always hoped
And he's the kind of guy worth waiting for
If it's your name in lights
And if the time is yours
You'd be on your back
You'd be on this floor
It's the kind of night that I'd always hoped
And he's the kind of guy worth waiting for
[Verse 4]
There's always some baggage you've got to check
And yeah, I'm trying
Hope that you'd understand
I'm sorry, boy
I'm not cut for this no more
[Outro]
Yes, I loved you, boy
I'm not cut for this no more
Action Needs an Audience Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm hypnotized by rituals
Now that I am on my own
Tranquilized like an animal
All because I lost control
[Chorus]
Are you tuning in to our conversation?
Oh yeah, you'll get your chance
The bigger, the brighter, the illuminated
Control the audience
[Verse 2]
The weight of the world has dragged you down
And took with it what you've earned
Communications lost to the radio
Burning all your bridges down
I may never be quite satisfied but that's the only way I know
I am overcome with sympathy for your, for your pathetic soul
[Chorus]
Are you tuning in to our conversation?
Oh yeah, you'll get your chance
The bigger, the brighter, the illuminated
Control the audience
Are you tuning in to our conversation?
Oh yeah, you'll get your chance
The bigger, the brighter, the illuminated
Control the audience
[Bridge]
Breathe in the air while you still can
Take all that you have while you still can
Sleep all night while you still can
Breathe
[Chorus]
Are you tuning in to our conversation?
Oh yeah, you'll get your chance
The bigger, the brighter, the illuminated
Control the audience
Are you tuning in to our conversation?
Oh yeah, you'll get your chance
The bigger, the brighter, the illuminated
Control the audience
Invented Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I first came to see you
I called it Houston Street
Could we meet?
Show me all the things you see
I'm one more here
Some old-time pioneer
Who believes with a shaken faith
I still have some coal
[Pre-Chorus]
I could leave you here with your 'people'
If I'm the flag you'd not prefer to wave
[Chorus]
You're always in my head
You're just what I wanted
I live in constant debt
To feel you, invented
[Verse 2]
When I first came to LA
I met you the old fashioned way: too drunk
And even worse, much too lonely
I'll leave it there
A busted homesteader
Who believes in virgin grace
Somehow, I'll stay proud
[Pre-Chorus]
Any dick can roll up in a suit
But only I would know what really moves you
[Chorus]
You're always in my head
You're just what I wanted
I live in constant debt
To feel you, invented
[Bridge]
There's a cinematic end
I picture it just right
Having trouble with the right words
But you tell me with your eyes
There's something good I miss
There's something I can't find
Do you believe me now?
Can you see it in my eyes?
See it in my eyes?
See it in my eyes?
[Chorus]
You're always in my head
You're just what I wanted
I live in constant debt
To feel you, invented
Mixtape Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Maybe we could put your tape back on
Rewind until the moment we went wrong
I was always just a little bit lost
Knowing what I do, I should have fought
[Chorus]
You don't get to walk away, walk away now
It's too late, you can't walk away, walk away now
You don't get to walk away, walk away now
It's too late, you can't walk away, walk away now
[Verse 2]
Simple words connecting thought
Just pieces of the background 'til they're gone, gone, gone
I was only there to sing your song
What were you protecting yourself from?
[Chorus]
You don't get to walk away, walk away now
It's too late, you can't walk away, walk away now
You don't get to walk away, walk away now
It's too late, you can't walk away, walk away now
[Bridge]
Where went all the takers, baby?
Could you still give what they want?
Where went all the takers, baby?
Do you still have what they want?
[Chorus]
You don't get to walk away, walk away now
It's too late, you can't walk away, walk away now
You don't get to walk away, walk away now
It's too late, you can't walk away, walk away now
You don't get to walk away, walk away now
It's too late, you can't walk away, walk away now
You don't get to walk away, walk away now
It's too late, you can't walk away, walk away now
