Might As Well

It’s eight o’clock, have you given it away?
Erased the knots and the promise to behave
Once again, on the mend
Play pretend
Season’s endings
I might as well have gone to the movies

Madison

We have a place in Madison
We have an ancient past
We have a boy in Madison
We have a love that lasts
We have a love that lasts
We have a place in Hollywood
Wide-eyed and moving fast
Since it’s a race in Hollywood
The time has come to pass
The time has come to pass
We have a place on Printer’s Row
But I haven’t slept in weeks
We have a place where lovers go
But none of them will speak
But none of them will speak
If you’re awake in Madison
If you’re alone at night
Out by the lake in Madison
The lights are twice as bright
The lights are twice as bright

One week and you’re brand new
Arms length and on the move
But clear eyes belong to the fool
And fair skies are black and blue
Well I don’t have faith
Do you blame me?
Well I don’t have faith
Will you tame me?
Take a risk on me
Take a chance on me
Take a risk for me
Take a chance for me
Ten weeks and mining for clues
Little by little by little I lose
You with your eyes on the bruise
And nightswims in blacks and blues
Well I don’t have faith
Do you blame me?
Well I don’t have faith
Will you tame me?
Take a risk on me
Take a chance on me
Take a risk for me
Take a chance for me

It'll Pass
03:30
|

In the morning, in the morning
On the morning of the last day of your life
I will greet you, speak to you
Say, I’m glad you’re healing and you’re putting up a fight
And it’ll pass, oh it’ll pass
In the morning you will see that it will pass
I’ve been seeing, I’ve been seeing
That underneath it all I’m just afraid of joy
And I’m an addict to this feeling
It doesn’t mean that I don’t deserve to be loved
And it’ll pass, oh it’ll pass
Oh, I believe that it will pass
Oh, it’ll pass, oh it’ll pass
Oh, I believe that it will pass
Oh, i’ll pass, oh!
Oh, I believe that it will pass
In the morning, in the morning
In the morning you will see that it has passed

Might As Well Have Gone

Connect the dots just to live another day
Discard the thoughts that convinced me you would stay
Drown the queen in between
Play the scene
Wake up dreaming
I might as well have gone to the movies

If It's Over
05:00
|

If you feel me near, I am
I’m tracing over faded lines
If you feel the pulse again
Are you caught erasing time
Or is it over?
Is it over?
I can feel it comin’ on again
I’m inside out and keeping score
I can tell you how, where, and when
Can you tell me it means more
Or if it’s over?
Is it over?
When it comes around again
When I have you in my grasp
Will it be enough to surrender
Knowing punishment won’t last
Or that’s it’s over?
Is it over?

Bright Green On The Path

Bright green on the path in the dark
I was
He caught up to me
Light green on the path in the dark
He was
Right next to me
And I knew, I knew
It was life or death
Wild hair on the porch in the dark
She was
Ringing the doorbell
His hair at the door in the dark
It was
Right in front of me
And I knew, I knew
I knew, I knew
But I did not know to tell you
And now on the porch in the dark
He says
I’ve waited so long
And yet on the bed in the dark
It can’t
Be like it used to
And I knew, I knew
I knew, I knew
That you
That you would go too
Where did
Where did you go to?
Where did
Where did you go to?

I already wrote this letter, I already threw it away
Along with the only picture I wish I had from that day
Yes, I agree with what you said -
I could live that moment over and over and over again
But it’s not mine
And guilt is not an option for me
You can go, you can go
You can go, you can go
You can go, you can go
You can go, you can go
Crying over so many ceremonies, swimming circles in Santa Fe
Jog my memory to tow the line
Body’s keeping score, they say
I’ve been living moments in my head -
I could live them multiple times over and over again
But they’re not mine
And guilt is not an option for me
I can go, I can go
I can go, I can go
I can go, I can go
I can go, I can go
Don’t think I’ve wasted my time
Was just slow to realize what was and wasn’t mine
Happy to stay within the lines
Just know I’m watching for your kind
And for what is mine

With twenty-four cards on the dashboard
And twenty-four cards at the bar
Call on the guards, arm the dress form
Or did we pass too late in the night?
Replace the laws that offered you the way
Embrace the flaws and the night to which you gave
All your skin
Sink or swim
Sleeping in, new beginnings
I might as well have gone to the movies
I might as well have gone to the movies
I might as well have gone to the

Get Caught Trying
04:52

Bide my time crying her pain
The myths take up a lot of space
Lost my time in an endless rage
The myths are barely band-aids
Like my mother and my grandmother before me
Where is the gap in my memory?
Bleary-eyed and underdrawn
Delicate and driven out-of-bounds
Give up the princess, tear her down
And along with her the one who made that crown
Since the end is up to me
I’ll tell her she never earned deceit
The longer I listen to what I have seen
I know I’m hers and she has set me free
Can’t rely on you
She wouldn’t want me to
Can’t be saved by you
She wouldn’t want me to
Can’t rely on you
But she wouldn’t want me to
I’ve got my own lullaby
Can’t be saved by you
But she wouldn’t want me to
My mama, my life
My mama, my light
