Turn Around - The Postal Service

cold hands, warm heart
big dreams, false starts
and those pills don't work
they just make it worse

don't say (don’t say) you're through
I'll swim beside you
so this town (this town), this sea
won't drag you underneath

you gotta know that this will turn around
until then, I will not let you down
and when you find your ship has run aground
you can call me, I won't let you down
I won't let you down
this will turn around

sick days, drunk nights
short fuse, loud fights
lose weight, all bones
the white drugs, the undertow

don't say (don’t say) you're done
cause you're brave and you're loved
and this town (this town), this sea
it won't drag you underneath

you gotta know that this will turn around
until then, I will not let you down
when you find your ship has run aground
you can call me, I won't let you down
I won't let you down
this will turn around

I won't let you down
(I won’t let you down)
you gotta know that this'll

Bathroom Floor - Brother Moses

that was not a conversation
that was you just spilling your guts
and you're stumbling backwards
over your own words again

you know I had my suspicions
they were confirmed in an instant
last night I slept on the bathroom floor

and I'd been trying to listen
been keeping up with the dishes
those gestures have no meaning anymore

that was not a conversation
that was you just spilling your guts
and you're stumbling backwards
over your own words again
this is not a confrontation
this is me just calling your bluff
as if it could help at all

so you wanted to meet up
first time we spoke in months
I faked it like a regular person
I tolerated you at coffee

I kind of let you push me over
it felt a little too familiar
at once what pushes me away
and pulls me in

that was not a conversation
that was you just spilling your guts
and you're stumbling backwards
over your own words again
this is not a confrontation
this is me just calling your bluff
as if it could help at all

I guess if I'm gonna leave, then I've got to tell the truth
not total honesty, just make my peace with you
seems like what you need, I could never give to you
after what you've said, I'm glad you cut me loose

Aawake at Night - half•alive

alone in a crowded room
my eyes will search for you

abandoned by my company
I'll search for what's in front of me
and hope that I find something new

my heart is like the ocean searching
searching for the shore, I'm learning
there must be something more than dreaming

this heart of mine is tired
but my feet will not retire

the alcohol will not suppress
the fear of death and loneliness
I know that I'm not alone

my heart is like the ocean searching
searching for the shore, I'm learning
there must be something more than dreaming

my heart is like the ocean searching
searching for the shore, I'm learning
there must be something more than dreaming

I've wrestled with the truth for quite some time
and I've been drowning in this restless mind
I'm sick of being so unsatisfied
tell me that the answer's right
God, are you awake at night?

'cause I've been abandoned by my company
I'll search for what's in front of me
and hope that I find something new

my heart is like the ocean searching
searching for the shore, I'm learning
there must be something more than dreaming

my heart is like the ocean searching
searching for the shore, I'm learning
there must be something more than dreaming

Carry Me - Joywave

tonight I think I might explode, yeah
nothing's right, nothing's right
comfort me until the sunrise

oh, you can't go ratting me out this time
you can't go ratting me out this time, no
you can't go ratting me out this time
you can't go ratting me out this time, no

carry me
are you strong enough
to make me feel complete
like there's church in my heart?
carry me
are you strong enough
to make me numb and free
like there's nothing to fear in the dark?

I've been filling up a ditch
with anything that I can fit
comfort me and get me through the night

oh, you can't go ratting me out this time
you can't go ratting me out this time, no
you can't go ratting me out this time
you can't go ratting me out this time, no

carry me
are you strong enough
to make me feel complete
like there's church in my heart?
carry me
are you strong enough
to make me numb and free
like there's nothing to fear in the dark?

sometimes it takes a hold
sometimes it takes a toll on me
sometimes it takes a hold
(there's no one there in the night)
(you can't go ratting me out, not this time)
sometimes it takes a toll on me
(there's no one there in the night)
(you can't go ratting me out, not this time)

carry me
are you strong enough
to make me feel complete
like there's church in my heart?
carry me
are you strong enough
to make me numb and free
like there's nothing to fear in the dark?

Favorite Color Is Blue - Robert DeLong

locked up, naked with socks
I'm watching the phone ring
it's making me angry
it's making me mad

maxed out minimum wage
my brain is a time bomb
I'm saying goodbye, Mom
I'll see you again

striking a pose
smiling in photos without any reason
with people that I'll never know
I'm out of control, live in a fictional prose
I took an oath, it's killing me though
'cause I don't believe in the things that I do

and now my favorite color is blue
and now my favorite color is blue
and now my favorite

roped up, rat in a cage
I'm having a breakdown
drinking at a playground
tequila for one

too short, walking the streets
I'm hating my haircut
you say that you're here, but
you live on the sun

burning a kite
I'm at a funeral, nothing unusual
baby, I do what I like
looking to fight, smoking a blunt and a pipe
taking a bite, worm in the apple
I knew it would happen, 'cause honey the vermin survive
swerve to the side, been driving all night

I'm thinking of changing my name, thinking of wrecking a home
'cause loving and hating are one and the same
and I'm feeling like everyone's feeling alone
I'm just looking for something to soften the blow
a second inside of the truth
I don't see red 'cause

now my favorite color is blue
and now my favorite color is blue
and now my favorite color is blue
and now my favorite color is blue
and now my favorite color is blue

and now my favorite color is blue
and now my favorite color is blue
and now my favorite color is blue
and now my favorite color is blue

Breaking Up My Bones - Vinyl Theatre

well, you've got a funny way of hanging around
a thief in the modern age of rhythm and sound
so take me to another place where clarity's found
'cause all I hear is noise

it's breaking up my bones
I wanna lie, but I don't care to try
we're taking off, we're taking off, baby
we're taking off

I wanna lie, but I don't care to try
we're taking off, we're taking off, baby
I know you know

well, you found another way to keep me around
I dreamt of a thousand ways to alter the sound
a thief in the modern age of rhythm and sound
but all I hear is noise

we're taking off, we're taking off, baby
we're taking off

it's breaking up my bones

so many times we're staring down the barrel of a gun
I know you care
these open eyes stare
