Don't you think that I contradict myself?
When I told you that sadness
was just a horrible noise
Having an intro like this is a contradiction
it's a contradiction
it's a contradiction
but sometimes I feel both ways
sometimes I feel worthless
and sometimes I throw it in the ocean
and it's a contradiction
I'm so stupid
and my songs are so stupid
and it's a contradiction
it's a contradiction

and you are the one I'm thinking of
got your name on my lips all the time
and when I think of the way you must say my name now
I wanna set myself alight
and burn everything that I am
and what I did to you
walking wishing and feeling
sometimes I have to stop myself from edging out
because the road seems so appealing
if only I had known it would be the last time
got your name on my lips all the time
and when I think of the way you must say my name now
I wanna set myself alight
and burn everything that I am
walking wishing and feeling
sometimes I have to stop myself from edging out
because the river seems so appealing

it keeps happening
i fell asleep in my clothes again
never been a person who gives in to temptations
but I cannot explain
you have a furious heart
and all the restless nights
I could not sleep
I understand now
There are souls spilling
Out of windows
across the rooftops
and it keeps happening
I cannot explain
and all these nights keeps spinning across the train tracks
and they fill me with a fury that doesn't have a target
you have a furious heart
and you have a harlequin heart
and it goes on and on and on
whatever goes on
it will go on
and on
and on

Pinafore

Time Signature:
4/4 (it's punk yo)
She sleeps in places that are so unorthodox
I want to learn all about her and all the books that she reads
She waltzes around in her quiet suburban town
and the streets outside her window
ebb and flow peter out to the fields and warm nights
that I long for
She is so much cooler than me
and I just wanna walk around holding her hand
She sleeps in places that are so unorthodox
She waltzes around in her pinafore
She is so much cooler than me
and I just wanna walk around holding her hand
holding her handaaayyyaaeeeaeheyyyh
holding her hand

when you call me late at night
and you tell how you really feel
I can't believe you think that way about me
in the morning I'll re-read what you wrote to me
you're too good for me but whatever
I wish I could just see you whenever I wanted
and follow the railway lines and the meadows to get to you
sure it's hard but I want you whatever
and all the cables
and phone lines
and railway lines
and warm nights tie me to you
It's worth it for your dark brown eyes
the first kiss outside the station
your arms on my air-conditioned skin
when you call me late at night
and you tell how you really feel
I can't believe you think that way about me
in the morning I'll re-read what you wrote to me
you're too good for me but whatever
I wish I could just see you whenever I wanted
and follow the railway lines and the meadows to get to you
sure it's hard but I want you whatever
and all the cables
and phone lines
and railway lines
and warm nights tie me to you
it's worth it for you long dark hair
the first kiss outside the station
your arms on my air-conditioned skin
i tried to fight
but I don't care at all
I just want to get close to you
you make my brain feel
like a my bloody valentine
sliding guitar tone
when
you
kiss
me
I
can't
think
at
all
It's worth it for your dark brown eyes
It's worth it for your dark brown eyes

Lyrics:
Hay fever
don't let it get you down
little lungs
heart so strong
Hay fever
don't let it get you down
little lungs
brain so vast
There's a moth on my heart
it constricts it's wings
there's a moth on my heart
the god of small things
Hay fever
don't let it get you down
little lungs
strong heart
There's a moth on my heart
it constricts it's wings
there's a moth on my heart
the god of small things
I have locked myself in for too long now
and I wonder if I could ever forgive myself

you've got your whole life ahead of you
and you're so talented and kind
I haven't forgotten wearing your headband to school
I haven't forgotten how I loved you
but you've got your whole life ahead of you
and you're so talented and kind
and I am nothing in comparison
you've got a life outside
and you're so talented and kind
and I am nothing in comparison
I hate myself for not writing back
it's just I seemed so busy
and I will never forgive myself
but you've got your whole life ahead of you
and you're so talented and kind
and I am nothing in comparison
you've got a life outside
and I wont forget Hollybrook Way
and I am nothing in comparison
I wont excuse myself
I wont forgive myself
but I am nothing in comparison to your life

My stomach hurts me
but it's all in my head
I wake up each morning
and struggle out of bed
Write some stupid song
it's all I ever do
Makes up for nothing
Wastes so much time
I feel so useless
I contradict constantly
You know you were so right
what you said about me
I don't deserve my
stupid self pity
I am not an artist
just meaningless misery
