I don’t need somebody’s version of the Taj Mahal just to know that you love me
The simple things are what matter most, so just do those to show that you love me
You don’t have to force it at all; if you’ve got the love, trust it will flow
The simple things are what matter most, so just do those to show that you love me
If you love me, babe
If you love me…
I don’t need somebody’s version of the Taj Mahal just to know that you love me
The simple things are what matter most, so just do those to show that you love me
You don’t have to force it at all; if you’ve got the love, trust it will flow
The simple things are what matter most, so just do those to show that you love me
If you love me, babe
If you love me…

I was riding my bike down Clinton street
He turned right, didn’t see me
We collide, couldn’t breathe
I don’t want to let you make me feel small
I don’t want to give you all the control
But I don’t have anyone else I can call right now
I just got hit by a car and you were the first thing on my mind
I don’t want to give up if it’s true love
But I think that I’ve been hurt enough
Can it ever be the way that it was?
I just got hit by car and you were the first thing on my mind
I was riding my bike down Clinton street
He turned right, didn’t see me
We collide, I couldn’t breathe
Flash of my life
It must be fake
All I saw were the golden rays of a perfect Thanksgiving day
I don’t want to let you make me feel small
I don’t want to give you all the control
But I don’t have anyone else I can call right now
I just got hit by a car and you were the first thing on my mind
I don’t want to give up if it’s true love
But I think that I’ve been hurt enough
Can it ever be the way that it was?
I just got hit by car and you were the first thing on my mind
I don’t want let you make me feel small
I don’t know if we should be talking at all
It feels impossible to fill the space you left
Im sorry if I’m not making any sense
I just hit my head
I don’t want to let you make me feel small
I don’t want to give you all the control
But I don’t have anyone else I can call right now
I just got hit by a car and you were the first thing on my mind
I don’t want to give up if it’s true love
(True love!)
But I think that I’ve been hurt enough
(Enough!)
Can it ever be the way that it was?
(All I know is that I, all I know, all I know is that I loved you and that I miss you and now I’m crying in the middle of East Village)
I just got hit by car and you were the first thing on my mind
And I don’t know why this is the worst week of my fucking life and I don’t know why I feel the way I do
But at the end of my life, that almost just happened, you were there and I was there inside my mind
Inside…
I just got hit by a car

Numb

Paris in Autumn, Paris in June
Time tries to uproot me, but I’m sticking with you
Touch and go, baby; if you love me, then say that you do
I got higher than I meant to be
I see your hazel eyes on a screen
A heavy mood of nostalgia and sadness comes over me
Oxycodone and aspartame were supposed to take the feelings away,
But I can’t go numb to you
I can’t go numb
I can’t go numb
I can’t go numb
I can’t go numb
Paris in Autumn, Paris in June
It’s sick how you treat me, what you put me through
I’m searching desperately for a way to untangle myself from you
I got higher than I meant to be
I see your hazel eyes on a screen
A heavy mood of nostalgia and sadness comes over me
Oxycodone and aspartame were supposed to take the feelings away,
But I can’t go numb to you
I can’t go numb
I can’t go numb
I can’t go numb
I can’t go numb

Deeper

I was hanging with some girls from Gainesville last weekend
We got some free shit from the weed man and then got way too high for no reason
I blacked out that evening, but that’s just the way that glory goes
Crossed as fuck and stumbling home, Brooklyn really looks like Rome
You don’t believe me? Guess what you don’t have to
When I woke up went straight to the bathroom and started yacking all over that loo
And all I could think was how on my own, it really don’t feel like home and how much better it would be if you were scratching my back right now
And the way we’ll build our love together is deeper, deeper than ever
And the way we’ll build our love together is deeper, deeper than ever
And the way we’ll build our love together is deeper, deeper than ever
And the way we’ll build our love together is deeper, deeper than ever
You know I got a new girlfriend and she has a house in the Hamptons and she has a car and she lives in Harlem, and her dad is gonna give me a job, so
You know I’ve got the lush life now, so you can’t complain about my cheap towels because even though I’ve got the best in the world, you’re not coming over my house
Not unless some things change, like she went back from whence she came, and you realize that things ain't the same and really you're missing all the old things
Because summer is over, winter is coming, and soon we’ll both be in need of cuddle serotonin
And the way we’ll build our love together is deeper, deeper than ever
And the way we’ll build our love together is deeper, deeper than ever
And the way we’ll build our love together is deeper, deeper than ever
And the way we’ll build our love together is deeper, deeper than ever
And the way we’ll build our love together is deeper, deeper than ever
I’m folding paper into pyramids, I’m riding across the Brooklyn Bridge at 2 a.m., 3 a.m.
(And the way we’ll build our love together is deeper, deeper than ever)
Plums and peppers and fried plantains, to me, you are the sweetest thing, sweetest thing
(And the way we’ll build our love together is deeper, deeper than ever)
Cha cha real smooth to the beat of it, I want to get lost in the heat of it at 2 a.m., 3 a.m.
(And the way we’ll build our love together is deeper, deeper than ever)
And the way we’ll build our love together is deeper, deeper than ever
I’m folding paper into pyramids, I’m riding across the Brooklyn Bridge at 2 a.m., 3 a.m.
(And the way we’ll build our love together is deeper, deeper than ever)
Plums and peppers and fried plantains, to me, you are the sweetest thing, sweetest thing
(And the way we’ll build our love together is deeper, deeper than ever)
Cha cha real smooth to the beat of it, I want to get lost in the heat of it at 2 a.m., 3 a.m.

Water (ft. Evan)

Somewhere East of Eden, I’m waiting for you
Out where it’s waist deep, I’m wading toward you
Don’t be afraid of things that you can’t control
When you walk in circles, you don’t look behind you
What if we were weightless and nothing defined you?
We could be safer, we could be far from here
Come out into the water, tsunami stones be damned
Shapeshifter in the darkness, you know who I am
Small things can last forever like footsteps on the moon
You’re back where you belong, I’m still here with you
Come out into the water, tsunami stones be damned
Shapeshifter in the darkness, you know who I am
Small things can last forever like footsteps on the moon
You’re back where you belong, I’m still here with you

Lately, I feel like I’ve been walking on a tightrope
Lately, I feel like I’ve been holding up the sky on my back
Lately, I feel like I’ve been disappointing everyone
I remember when it didn’t use to feel like that
And I don’t want to talk about it
I don’t want to talk about it
I just want to take this feeling out to the woods
And leave it there to die, but it keeps following me, I can’t take it
This heavy storm cloud of impotence and guilt
So I put on a song to cry to
A movie to cry through
I’ve seen it a thousand times, but it just feels good to pretend
That it all works out in the end and that everything is going to be fine
A song to cry to

The Garland

Hey babe, When I’m in LA I’m staying at the Garland
I don’t want you to think I’m heartless
I love you the most when I’m the farthest
I won’t be the one that says you have to change
I won’t be the one that takes your freedom away
But my heart is a magnet not a video game
So we can’t be together if you’re pulling away…
I kissed your iliac crest
Then you shaved my head
Then we watched a movie
I rode my bike to your house
I spent the night in your bed
When I woke up you were looking right through me
21 1/2, reading Sylvia Plath wondering why would you choose me
I made it bigger than what it was
That’s what an artist does
We don’t have so much history do we?
Hey babe, When I’m in LA I’m staying at the Garland
I don’t want you to think I’m heartless
I love you the most when I’m the farthest
I won’t be the one that says you have to change
I won’t be the one that takes your freedom away
But my heart is a magnet not a video game
So we can’t be together if you’re pulling away…
The person I love is not the full person you are
It’s the piece of you that’s sweet to animals in the park
It’s the piece of you that’s holding on to me in the dark
I know distance is what I need for the healing to start
But I keep looking to you because you’re just like a star
Hey babe, When I’m in LA I’m staying at the Garland
I don’t want you to think I’m heartless
I love you the most when I’m the farthest
I won’t be the one that says you have to change
I won’t be the one that takes your freedom away
But my heart is a magnet not a video game
So we can’t be together if you’re pulling away…
Hey babe, When I’m in LA I’m staying at the Garland

I won’t be the one that takes your freedom away
But my heart is a magnet not a video game
So we can’t be together if you’re pulling away…

I wasn’t born rich so I have to work
I wasn’t born a God, so I have to die
I don’t think I will ever feel safe again, but I want to be next to you if I have to suffer in this life
I could be in Alaska deep-sea fishing, offshore deep sea drilling
But all I want to be is with you in Green Point
Having a coffee just chilling, not talking about anything serious
A quiet afternoon in Green Point
And I’m sober now if that makes a difference
I thought you would be happy to hear it
I’m sorry the haze I was in made it hard to say the truth, that I love you Even more now than I did then and if I could do it all again
I would find a way to be with you in Green Point
Blonde and beige and black and blue
Every color looks good on you and everything you touch turns to gold
Every word you write is perfect and every photo you take has an angel floating in an orb
I hate that we don’t talk anymore
I could be in Alaska deep-sea fishing, offshore deep sea drilling
But all I want to be is with you in Green Point
Having a coffee just chilling, not talking about anything serious
A quiet afternoon in Green Point
And I’m sober now if that makes a difference
I thought you would be happy to hear it
I’m sorry the haze I was in made it hard to say the truth, that I love you Even more now than I did then and if I could do it all again
I would find a way to be with you in Green Point
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry
