she's been driving your car
she's not lying so far
you're not crying
i'm not smiling
one day i'll write her a letter in earnest
you're like your mother
you're like my mother
lying to all three
you're like your mother
you're like my mother
nothing left for me
last night i dreamt of the way you held me
last night i ignored my friends and family
you're not crying
i'm not smiling
one day i'll write you a letter in earnest
you're like your mother
you're like my mother
lying to all three
you're like your mother
you're like my mother
nothing left for me

Nineteen Again

the kids are smoking
out in the hallway
having fun
i said i'm sorry
you can't feel it
brain is a motel
the time i've wasted
playing dress up
i wanted you
i wanted you
pretend you're nineteen again
and i'll let you down
pretend you're nineteen again
and i'll let you down
drink in mom's car again
and i'll let you down
i screamed in the hotel
a drunk fuck freakout
felt so hollow
we got all mixed up
and i've been backwards
can we get along?
and i don't think that
she thinks much but
we get along
pretend you're nineteen again
and i'll let you down
pretend you're nineteen again
and i'll let you down
i'm drunk in mom's car again
oh i let you down
again again and again

Young and Pretty

watch the silver box of tricks
in your boxers all evening
stay inside and wait while
you're young and pretty
you're young and pretty
smoke in bed, drink tonight
talk to the tv
light your sheets on fire while
you're young and pretty
you're young and pretty
said you'd make amends for friends
and get out of bed before noon
said you'd make amends for friends
and get out of bed before noon
but you blame the weather
blame your mother
you can't dance like this forever
learn to cry, how and why
all from those movies
snap your ankles wearing heels
wait and worry
wait and worry
smoke in bed, drink tonight
talk to the tv
light your sheets on fire while
you're young and pretty
you're young and pretty
said you'd make amends for friends
and get out of bed before noon
said you'd make amends for friends
and get out of bed before noon
but you blame the weather
blame your mother
you can't dance like this forever
you're god's great sleeper
you answer to paradise

The City Don't Want Us

pack your things i'll lie in bed
picture frames stay emptying
i'll ride the subway with you all night
squinting through the morning sunlight
new york city is off the map
these walls know i want you back
you don't want us, that's a shame
the city don't want us anyway
the city don't want us anyway
tell me why we suffer
tell me why we suffer love
