In An Ideal World

I wanna be your love song in a couple of years time
I wanna be the weight that's lifted off your shoulders
In an ideal world you'll be with me, you'll miss me
In an ideal world I'd walk and walk with you
You're sitting in the back of a car with the radio on
Rolling a cigarette for two
Singing along to the The Replacements
It turns me on
It turns me on
You say you're breaking up and your eyes look at the floor
You keep coming back for more
You keep knocking at my door
If you feel the way I do
Then I've got to tell you
"You can hang around 'till I'm coming down"

Exclude Me

Pressed up to the bathroom door
Girls talking shit about someone they met
Don't even look at you
Wash your hands twice, get out of my life tonight
Elbows to the bar
Ignored unless its sport or something relevant
Have you heard of it?
Exclude me more
You know what I said
In front of your friends you shake and turn your head
Am I not cool enough to be at this party?
Oh when did it start tonight?
On the couch, there's a glass of red and a bunch of men
Well, they pretend that their life is better than mine
Am I rich enough?
Am I cool enough?
Am I smart enough?
Do I talk too much?
I don't wanna be left alone
Dig me a hole so big
My heart will never crawl out
I just need something to do
Something to hold
Something to tear me apart
Back to the start

Underneath It All
03:37

Go to bed in the early morning
(Dream those dreams away)
You can't hear anyone at all
(Make me feel okay)
Wake in sweat
Your life is ticking by
Don't you cry
A gentle suicide
Is all you need to hurt the ones you love
Don't you cry
and don't leave your life behind
For all your friends to find
As they're looking through the blinds
Where all your memories remain
And so always does the pain
If you wanted to be sure
The shadows on the wall
I'll be up at the crack of dawn tomorrow
It's so strange to feel that pain
Underneath it all
Take a stand, put it back in place
Wake up early in the day
(Night has gone away)
I can't feel anything at all
(Make me feel okay)

Fly To Japan

Back on that horse
The bottle breaks
You've done it before
I'm digging up graves
Moves on the chessboard
They won't help
Trying to see
Just like your health
Smile and laugh and you stare at the ground
What's the point when nobody's around?
And it's hard, so hard
To feel like yourself in the big city
A crystal drop in a melting pot
Of pointlessness and pity
A crystal drop in a melting pot
Of pointlessness and pity
Do what you can
When the night is through
Fly to Japan
Go to the zoo
Tomorrow you'll see reflections
Tomorrow you'll be forgotten
Smile and laugh and you stare at the ground
Whats the point when nobody's around?
I will be gone

Pick up the pieces of a damaged man
She packed up all her shit and split in a minivan
Didn't have much to live off, and no fuel at all
She drove the coast twice with a bikie named Paul
At the rest stop, they didn't serve champagne
They took her in, grew her up, and kicked her back out again
Satellites watch on, with a glimmer and a grimace
As she torches her life and throws it in the furnace
By the riverside you called me
On a payphone not too far
Can I come back in again?
I almost lost the car
Red sick silk on a mattress out of town
I don't want to do this anymore
I need a way out
So she said
Out there on the mantle
A woman hosts a party
Sold everything she had
Just to get it started
I'm in the background, watching it all
Trying not to laugh or to see anyone fall
Over and over and over again
Try to get by with no thought for anything
Or else you get caught up in other people's problems
One or two is fine but then they become yours
Shut up, be quiet, remember to breathe
Like all teachers tell you when you were thirteen, yeah
