Weird Science

We spend all our time in chairs
Hoping for something new
And the problems are always there
But you help me work them through
With weird science, me & you
The drive there's half an hour
To share my afternoon
But I love to feel your power
So I hope I'll see you soon
You and your weird science, me & you
It weighs me down, on me it weighs
But you say to take it day by day
I've known you for a year
And I think our work is through
But I wanna stay right here
In this chair across from you
Teach me weird science, me & you, me & you
It weighs me down, on me it weighs
But you say to take it day by day
Away, I wanna run away
But you say I'm better off this way
We spend all our time in chairs
Hoping for something new
And the problems are always there
But you help me work them through
With weird science, me & you

Pulling The Reins

You on a Sunday
Naked in bed in the afternoon
The sun is shining
Pouring its light inside of our room
I should be thinking
I should be dreaming of you, I know
But someone is out there
Someone is out there
Somewhere, someone is pulling the reins on me
I wish I knew when it began
One day, somehow, you'll do the same to me
If and when you ever let me go
You in the evening
Pouring a drink in the other room
Our mouths are tired
After making love in the afternoon
I should be drinking
I should enjoy my time with you
But someone is out there
Someone is out there
Somewhere, someone is pulling the reins on me
I wish I knew when it began
One day, somehow, you'll do the same to me
If and when you ever let me go
I think I might be the right one for you
I wish you could tell me the same
One day, somehow, all this will fade to gray
When you decide you've got to let me go
You in the nighttime
You as the girl I waited for
You as the moonlight
You, as you say, "I love you more"
I should be thankful
I should be glad you decided to stay
But someone is out there
Someone is out there
Someone is out there
And she's trying to take me away
Somewhere, someone is pulling the reins on me
I wish I knew when it began
One day, somehow, you'll do the same to me
If and when you ever let me go
I think I might be the right one for you
I wish you could tell me the same
One day, somehow, we'll laugh about this
Long after you decide to let me go

Mr. Frog

You wanna sleep all day
You wanna sleep all night
You can't see another way
But that doesn't make it right
It doesn't work like that
Ignoring problems like you do
It doesn't work like that
Even though I still love you
To me it's not some big surprise
That's why I picked you off the shelf
I knew the sadness in your eyes
It was the same that's in myself
But it doesn't work like that
Mistaking love for
Tears in our eyes, hurt in our hearts
We are both the same
But it doesn't work like that
When your problems are mine and mine are yours
Going around
But being round is what caught my eye
So I keep you mine
If you wanna sleep all day
Then I wanna climb in your bed
If this is the only way
I'll break up with the world instead
But it doesn't work like that
Hoping it'll all change
If I just love you enough
Look at us, still the same
It doesn't work like that
Mistaking you for my life, life for my friends, friends for my work, working for what? what is my life? around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around
It doesn't work like that…

I washed the sheets
That you slept on
'Cause I couldn't bear
The smell on your hair
The rubbed off
When you wept on
The covers that kept
Our secret from everyone else
All these years
You've waited for someone to say:
"In the end
It will all
Be okay"
I read your note
In the morning
In which on me you'd taken out
Your feelings and how
You'd come back
Without a warning
And steal all my plans
Right out of my hands
Yet, you still
Want to hear
What I couldn't possibly say:
"In the end
It will all
Be okay"
What more do you want me to feel?
Do you know that I'm already
Thinking of you
Every move that I make?
'Cause a heart, even one
Is too many to break
So let me sleep
While I think of
How to get though your head
That you're not better dead
'Cause I'm right
On the brink of
Convincing myself
I don't need the help
And I hope
You believe
In what I am having to say:
"In the end
It will all
Be okay"

English 101
05:11

Day one: you opened up your book and let me begin
No fun, it's harder than it looks to read what's within
Day one: you teach me my own tongue that I thought I knew
I'm undone: it's English 101 when I try explaining you
Caught by the look in your eye
Turn back again and I lost my place
And no, I promise I'll try
Learning the lessons but I study your face
And I wouldn't waste your time
Teach me to read tonight
Finger follows just below the words that you say
I linger whenever I don't know the meaning of your ways
Day one: you opened up my eyes to show me something new
So fun, your English 101; I love learning 'bout you
Caught by the look in your eye
Turn back again and I lost my place
And no, I promise I'll try
Learning the lessons but I study your face
And I wouldn't waste your time
Teach me to read tonight
As I thumb through your pages
Your body assuages my worrying mind
When I've got no words for saying
What I have been praying for
I'm caught by the look in your eye
Turn back again and I lost my place
And no, I promise I'll try
Learning the lessons but I study your face
And I wouldn't waste your time
Teach me to read tonight

Your Wings
03:55

You got me wrapped in your wings
Fairy tales and fluffy white things
Fly away to the moon
We don't have to come back soon
It's so hard to get along
Always knowing your gone
So tie me up in your balloon
We don't have to come back soon
All day I wait for you
My love won't break for you
I'll give my name to you
If you'll say
You'll carry me along the road
And help me find my way home
And pick me up when I am blue
Then you'll be mine forever, too
Sometimes it's hard to hold
My love for you in my soul
But always with you I know
You'll say
You'll wrap me up in your wings
Fairy tales and fluffy white things
Fly away to the moon
We don't have to come back soon
