Lover For Hire 02:31
lyrics
buy track
She said I don’t know how to dance Give me a chance, give me a chance Oh the girl head to toe With tattoos must know A feeling at first glance She said but it’s been so long You’re not wrong, just hum along I need someone that makes me belong I need to put you in my song Oh I want her fire To walk the tight wire Lover for hire Lover for hire I said I know you’ve been broken before I’ve fallen before, fallen before Oh the girl head to toe With tattoos must know The sound of a shutting door I said but it’s been so long This feels wrong, but I’ll come along Her voice like a siren’s song Run wild with me; just hold on She plays piano like you’ve never heard I sang and she stirred, sang and she stirred Oh the girl head to toe With tattoos must know I don’t know a single word

Santa Monica 02:55
lyrics

My hands are full of salt from the sea Sea shell oracle spoke fiction to me I don’t need you if I’m ocean wide and free I sat on the shore and let it all be I always knew I’d be the runaway Santa Monica; the rambler won’t stay I took my guitar in the shower to play Singing this, this will be the day I forgot what it was like to sing on the metro Letting my hair down was so long ago Georgia girl in Cali; wouldn’t you like to know I ran wild and let the tattooed girl show I always knew I’d be the runaway Santa Monica; the rambler won’t stay I took my guitar in the shower to play Singing this, this will be the day Dancing on the warm rainy streets at 1 am There’s a highway hum and I’m the synonym I’ve run so hard and long that I’ve become REM I make songs because I can’t hold onto them I always knew I’d be the runaway Santa Monica; the rambler won’t stay I took my guitar in the shower to play Singing this, this will be the day

Ajar 02:36
lyrics
buy track
I smoke a cigarette Hoping I forget Her hair when it was wet The videocassette Unwound yet Was found In a television set Regret A memory is a ghost Of what came too close Smile don’t overdose I loved that spring the most My life is 1998 I debate If going back I’d translate To a floodgate Or an open grate I walk straight It got late Fate A memory is a ghost Of what came too close Smile don’t overdose I loved that spring the most I play my guitar Made no wish upon a star Never got that far Dredging through wet tar I wonder where you are Dreamed a dream bizarre This is a poem ajar I am a scar A memory is a ghost Of what came too close Smile don’t overdose I loved that spring the most

Smile 03:00
lyrics

I’m funny you know You never laugh though This is my last dollar to blow A game of pool or no Get ready for a show Lost all three in a row I’m carefree does it show I love you in the dive bar glow I just get a kick You make me homesick It’s you I picked You never had me tricked Never flipped the script I saw you unclipped Stripped Let go of the grip I read your lips There’s more than at my fingertips Smile it’s Saturday night Everything will be alright Deep down she knows I’m right I laugh at you, so uptight Is there anything you’d like to recite I take her hand at the streetlight She blushes and I just might Let’s run the crosswalk, hold tight I just get a kick You make me homesick It’s you I picked You never had me tricked Never flipped the script I saw you unclipped Stripped Let go of the grip I read your lips There’s more than at my fingertips You missed the punch line You missed the open sign Laugh so you don’t whine Everything will be fine I laugh at my jokes all the time You’re sad but you should shine You live like in a goldmine It’s dark but keep on Clementine I just get a kick You make me homesick It’s you I picked You never had me tricked Never flipped the script I saw you unclipped Stripped Let go of the grip I read your lips There’s more than at my fingertips

Break and Make-Up 02:59
lyrics

I’m not gonna burn all your shit Or cry cause you don’t deserve it I didn’t call it quits you quit Yeah I came back after I split There was nowhere else to go You’re in my heart just for show What’s it going to take to break up and not make up I’ll key your car Break your guitar What’s the deal fdr I’ll raid your fridge Rage a smidge Just burn the bridge Clean break is a dream Tah tah forever and scene You’ve become a routine Control alt delete this theme I never gave you your ring Mockingbird would always sing What’s it going to take to break up and not make up I’ll key your car Break your guitar What’s the deal fdr I’ll raid your fridge Rage a smidge Just burn the bridge This sucks but you’re not you anymore There’s no victory for this war I don’t even know what we fought for I lost my best friend long before So no I won’t burn your shit ok I don’t have anything to say What’s it going to take to break up and not make up I’ll key your car Break your guitar What’s the deal fdr I’ll raid your fridge Rage a smidge Just burn the bridge

Too Old For This Shit 03:46
lyrics

If you can sing Spice Girls raise your hand Zig a zig ah hope you understand We got old y’all, it didn’t go as planned My last friend group is about to disband My body looks like it went off-brand My whole life has been deadpanned 28 I woke and knew I was grown Don’t text anymore call me on the phone The party doesn’t start til I postpone I’m too old for this shit I’m going home Apparently full shirts are not cool anymore J crew said I was in the wrong store Forever 21 said I was on the wrong floor Never heard of Michael Kohr Sephora said come hither lonely whore LensCrafters is what I came here for Baby showers don’t bring flowers in may Why must they last all fucking day The wedding was bad enough ok I ran to the cake from the midair bouquet I don’t want kids, won’t spread my dna I want to do what I want and when anyway Gen z has me over here looking old They’re the ones who need a hand to hold Millennials have Starbucks in a chokehold My bank account said please hold My 20’s flew by and I wore a blind fold It’s time to grow up I was finally told

Double Dare 02:39
lyrics
buy track
I’ll be bold Truth be told I was the white lie But I dared to try A game for two How good are you I count cards Send your Queen regards Oh don’t make me Don’t make me Tell the truth I’m in a phone booth With no change to spare The phone broke it isn’t fair Call a cab going where I double dare you To take me there Truth or dare Since you’re a square What have you done To have to run Lost the turn None if your concern I said I run too And I need you Oh don’t make me Don’t make me Tell the truth I’m in a phone booth With no change to spare The phone broke it isn’t fair Call a cab going where I double dare you To take me there The daring at large Life can come at no charge I am just a girl I once knew So I don’t know what is true And don’t know what to do But I met you And I’ve been in my getaway car Wondering where you are Oh don’t make me Don’t make me Tell the truth I’m in a phone booth With no change to spare The phone broke it isn’t fair Call a cab going where I double dare you To take me there

Broken Record 02:23
lyrics
buy track
Don’t know why I’m writing this song I just sit here and sing all day long They ask me what’s wrong I say words just don’t belong No one cares about my music though My heart is broken they already know Poured out like liquor with nothing to show I’m a broken record that won’t let go I get bored of it all I’ve done so much Too busy speeding to let in the clutch Disconnected from a life covered in rust I might as well say don’t stay in touch No one cares about my music though My heart is broken they already know Poured out like liquor with nothing to show I’m a broken record that won’t let go I have nothing much else to say I guess I’ll sit with my guitar and play I bring poems to life every day How to give a dream away

Lead Balloon 02:28
lyrics

It’s a shitty day I lost my keys In the driveway She’d always say No guarantees But I’m still gay I’m 28 now honey Late cause time ain’t money Used to think I was funny But the jokes on me come see Cry in the bathroom Fly your lead balloon Fuck this shit She said fuck this shit New you coming soon I just sat of the floor Used to know what door This key was for But it’s a skeleton like me I run but not free I’m done and I flee I’m 28 now sweetheart Head down is not a start Used to think I was smart But how did I fall so far apart

You’re my beverage on September the sixth Outside waiting for autumn like Stevie Nicks Feet up in the lawchairs bakin that brownie mix I got a soul here for you you’re dyin to fix This ain’t my first one of those picnics You gave me a chill Come whatever will But may I still I feel myself distill So sweet you make me ill It’s those cowgirl boots you fill You’re my sunshine bleeding through at 10 am Get your cute ass up here’s some clothes with that grin God damn hungover Sunday again Singing girl I don’t know where you’ve been But you’re under my skin You gave me a chill Come whatever will But may I still I feel myself distill So sweet you make me ill It’s those cowgirl boots you fill

Flame 02:13

Are you gonna just sit there And stare How is it fair When I can’t dance and you’re aware But you watch and don’t dare Sit in your chair Oh go take that elsewhere I can’t dance either I’m just a firebreather And you’re the flame The kerosene in me knows your name I wrote this song for you all the same I called and you came Shy girl don’t shy away Please stay Won’t say What she’s thinking about today She can’t but I think she may Child it’s okay I love you like a night astray I can’t dance either I’m just a firebreather And you’re the flame The kerosene in me knows your name I wrote this song for you all the same I called and you came

Employee of the Month 02:33
lyrics
buy track
Shit for brains wakes up Mourning the day takes up The morning and she rakes up Her pills she gave up She is the boss and it shows In her designer clothes She already knows It’s a miserable life she chose I got you I really got you The joke is mine and on you Shit for brains sits in his car In traffic, no shooting star Could wish him far Away from a seminar He is the boss and it shows By the way he chose To belittle and impose A leader by the nose I got you I really got you The joke is mine and on you 28 thrown from her new job She still tries to move on From a cocoon and new dawn But the dream was soon gone She is the outcast and it shows By the butterfly they expose But in a way a butterfly grows She is the one who overthrows I got you I really got you The joke is mine and on you
