if i can give this a last try can you just say why we’re holding out
it’s never seemed like a good time, but it’s alright, it’s over now
and i need to learn to love something, i need to learn to love something again
nothing’s quite like the last time, i want to run back the tape again
sometimes i might have crossed a line, it’s alright but it all depends
and i need to learn to love something, i need to learn to love something again

Sweet Dreams On The TL

i plug it right into my heart again
i’ve seen the pictures, i’ve wasted all my wishes
i’ll run the signal and i’ll play pretend
the patent’s pending (this joke is never-ending)
i’m crawling home thru the backyard again
i’m such an asshole, i’m ruining all my best clothes
i see the light before the bad dream ends:
it’s thru the window, into a calming unknown
sweet dreams on the timeline (i’m getting vulnerable and stupid)
sweet dreams on the timeline (can’t tell if it’s ever worth it)
(it’s never really worth it)
i plug you right into my heart again
you’re such an athlete i left it all incomplete
i sent a signal up into the air:
what are we learning? the infrastructure is burning
sweet dreams on the timeline (i’m getting vulnerable and stupid)
sweet dreams on the timeline (can’t tell if it’s ever worth it)
(it’s never really worth it)

Laugh It Off

we’re gonna get this right, i know it’s not what you wanted
we can leave the lights, you need to say that you want it
let’s ruin the whole damn thing, i feel alive but it’s fading
let tear the whole damn thing, i feel alright: it’s amazing
we can laugh it off like it never happened
we can laugh it off like we never cared
and it gets real dark when we can’t stop laughing
alright already, alright already
i’m gonna take the blame: i said, “it’s just what i needed”
it’s never quite the same, because it’s never completed
let’s burn the whole thing down, i can’t believe it’s accepted
i’ll take the long way down: it looks like we’ve never left it
we can laugh it off like it never happened
we can laugh it off like we never cared
and it gets real dark when we can’t stop laughing
alright already, alright already

think you're right, it's much easier to let this lie
i think you're right, but have you seen this? get a load of this guy
and now you know what we've known forever:
it doesn't show, and it won't get better
get the lights but i can't sleep until you say that it's alright
(let this slide: i don't mean it but it sounded kind of nice)
and it just works and we grow together
it doesn't hurt, but it won't get better
guess you're right, nothing matters and it cut me like a knife
guess you're right, nothing matters but i'm glad to be alive
and we get hurt, we do alright together
it won't get worse, and it won't get better
will i go first, or will we go together?
it won't get worse, and it won't get better

Six Weeks

you see an opening, right? you know we're going to make it thru
i hold my breath for the night (there's nothing else that i could do)
let's take one more look before you go because it hurts whenever i speak
this sounds like the only song i know
it goes: i love you i love you i'll see you in six weeks
i pull the pieces apart and spread them out across my room
i wasn't sure at the start but now i know it's all been true
let's take one more look before you go because it hurts whenever i speak
this sounds like the only song i know
it goes: i love you i love you i'll see you in six weeks
