Problem

I’ve been walking with my eyes closed
You keep talking like I don’t know
I keep going out to late shows
(I keep going out, going out)
You keep singing when my eyes close
(And I’m closing out, closing out)
I know it’s a problem
I know it
I know
I know it’s a problem
I know
I know it’s a problem
I know it
I know
I know it’s a problem
I know
I keep living like the door’s closed
(So I shut it down, I shut it down)
You just think it’s something I chose
(But I’m choosing now, choosing now)
I know it’s a problem
I know it
I know
I know it’s a problem
I know
I know it’s a problem
I know it
I know
I know it’s a problem
I know

I got a martyr’s thigh
I got a tragic tongue
I picked the pomegranate seeds
But I didn’t eat one
No
I never cross the line
I never check the breeze
All the flags may waving
Pretend I don’t see
No
Don’t look at me that way
And don’t pretend you won’t
Don’t cast for assurances
You’ve no right to line
Don’t make me a test passed
Don’t make me a question asked
Don’t make me a chance, last
You know I am more
I got a savior’s wrist
I got a nurse’s bed
Tell me you needed my help
It goes right to my head
Yes
I’m not your raison d’etre
Not your promised land
If you can’t go it alone
Then let go of my hand
Yes
Don’t look at me that way
And don’t pretend you won’t
Don’t cast for assurances
You’ve no right to line
Don’t make me a test passed
Don’t make me a question asked
Don’t make me a chance, last
You know I am more
You know you know you
You know you know you
You know you know
You know you know you
You know you know you
You know you know
You know I am more
You know I am more

Don't Make Plans

I was in front of you
Holding water with my hands
Why if it wasn’t true
Was I ever making plans
Wading flood plains (Do what I wouldn’t do)
Carry my tapes
(Hoping someone understands)
Play me grace notes (I was in front of you)
Stand in my place
(Giving up on my demands)
Beta history (Signs right in front of you)
Choose for me now
(Couldn’t read it with my hands)
Dull down mystery (Why if it wasn’t true)
Compress my sound
(Was I ever making plans)
Bowed low, crossed time (I was in front of you)
Stacked a fragile shrine
(Cannot meet you where you stand)
Good lord, bad serf (Why, if it wasn’t true)
Change the goddam line
(Was I ever making plans?)
I thought I bought a ticket I thought I bought a ticket I thought I bought a ticket out
(I was in front of you)
(Holding water with my hands)
I thought I bought a ticket I thought I bought a ticket I thought I bought a ticket out
(Why if it wasn’t true)
Out out out out out (Was I ever making plans)

Just Just Just

Lost in a view
Running down old faults
It’s nothing to do with you
I’m fighting through
Saw this dead wish
Pushing down old lists
Maybe this time it’s different
Maybe it’s missed
I just want to talk to you again
I just want to talk to you again
Maybe I knew
Was it on my mind
It’s nothing to do with you
But it feels unkind
Maybe I’m due
Falling down old flights
It’s nothing to do with you
But I thought it might
I just want to talk to you again
I just want to talk to you again
I just want to talk to you again
I just want to talk to you again
I just want to talk to you again
I just want to talk to you again
I just want to talk to you again
I just want to talk to you again
