Best Shirts

Someday you're gonna find out what it means
to love somebody and have em love you back
until then you're gonna have to tell yourself
that you don't, you don't need anybody else
My room's clean but my carpet never is
my breath stinks and my body type is thin
it's my fault that you don't ever want to be around
and you don't, you don't even know me anymore
Oh it's like a curse
when the best shirts never fit
All week I've been picking at a scab
all week I've been itching at it still
it healed up as I was getting used to it
I think I, I think I'm gonna miss it just a bit
I wonder what I forget from day to day
I wonder if I could still remember when
way back when we had each other in our thoughts
And you knew, you knew how much I loved you
And oh it's like a curse
when the best shirts never fit
Someday you're gonna find out what it means
to love somebody and have em love you back
until then you're gonna have to tell yourself
that you don't, you don't need anybody else

Everything Changes
01:53

If ever the seasons
fall out of your head
pick up the pieces
start all over again
If ever the time came
to take up the good fight
leave all your strangers
leave them tonight
and know that everything changes
To think that I'm so vain
to think that they left me
complaining all the time
anyone's fault but mine
To me it's unnerving
you it's a sure thing
the absence of any
higher being
there's just you to blame
If ever the seasons
lose all their meaning
all of the highs and lows
are never quite feelings
If ever the reasons
never seem quite clear
all of the voices
whisper in your ear,
"believe in me"

Tomorrow All Today
04:10
|

|
Well I thought about tomorrow all today
and I don't really know why
cause you take my breath away with every word that you say
and I don't really know why
my life just flashed before my eyes
when I heard you say goodbye
you're leaving on the very next jet plane
and we won't ever be the same
Sometimes I think you really wanna be alone
yeah for the rest of your life
cause you push away from everyone you love
and I don't really know why
what's wrong with living the life that you want?
what's wrong with faking what you don't have?
well it's taken by breaking it piece by piece
so take it leave it leave it in peace
well I thought about tomorrow all today
and I don't really know why

Scarlet Fever
03:16
|

|
All your friends that say they're mine
I don't know where they come from
talking more and sleeping less
that don't make them right all the time
Well you sure are the one to talk
what doesn't get you riled up?
wasting time all by yourself
that don't make you right all the time
Every girl I've ever loved had
scarlet fever
and I've been halfway round the world
but I still believe in her
But I don't remember anyone
who ever listened to what I said
I don't remember anyone
who had the nerve to call me out
what do you do when I'm away
girl, what do you do when I'm gone?
what do you do with your time?
Tell me the story of your ink
the markings on your right arm
a mess of letter couldn't mean a thing
but hey man it's still got it's charms
I guess that some people change
well some they hardly notice
next time that you're by yourself
think of a time you could have had
But I don't remember anyone
who ever listened to what I said
I don't remember anyone
who had the nerve to call me out
what do you do when I'm away
girl, what do you do when I'm gone?
what do you do with your time?
every girl I've ever loved had
every girl I've ever loved had

The Same Songs
03:46
|
|||
|
I already wrote this song once
and I don't wanna write it again
where the hell have you been this week?
and when do you decide when we speak?
a man of the past from here on out
just calling whenever now
you just gave a five dollar bill
to a man who only asked for a hand
Glory, glory hallelujah
your truth keeps marching on
Glory, glory hallelujah
your truth keeps marching on
And I hope I never get tired
of singing the same songs to you

Telling The Truth
02:38
|
|||
|
My friends hate me
and I hate them too
pretending they care
when I know they don't
they don't need me
and I don't need them
they'll stop calling
and I'll just sit still
I don't tell lies
anymore
I just say the things
that I want to hear
from time to time
I think back to you
and what you would say
when I had a few
"It's not too late"
Two years gone now
I think that it's safe
to say it's too late
To us it's a joke
to everyone else
it's a way out
and a brand new start

Empty Threat
04:54
|
|||
|
Cigarettes last longer in the summertime
and neighborhoods are smaller than in your mind
but nobody tells you that you find it out
nobody tells you but you find it out
Your lips shined brighter in the autumn sun
never want the street lights to come back on
only ever wanted to see you smile
I only ever wanted to see you smile
You used to tell me that we could leave
if we wanted to we'd leave this town right now
it's all a bluff that we kept on telling ourselves
It's an empty threat
it's what you said
I put to you
in my old bed
an empty threat
Winter skin cracks and then falls right off
Spring comes in like a rush of blood
your color is fading and it won't grow back
your color is fading and it won't grow back
Sarah, this pain that you are feeling now
passes with time believe me child
I only ever wanted to see you smile
only ever wanted to see you smile
You used to tell me that we could leave
if we really wanted to we'd leave right now
it's all a bluff that we kept on telling ourselves
It's an empty threat
it's what you said
I put to you
in my old bed
an empty threat
an empty threat
it's what you said
I put to you
in my old bed
an empty threat

I just said goodbye to my best friend
and I can't help but feel at an end
everyone knows I can't make it on my own
everyone knows I can't make it on my own
so I'll keep finding ways to settle down
and I'll make sure to call when I come round
And I have felt the cold Western wind
the morning fog that settles in
down, down, down in the valley below
the memory fades but the feeling goes
if I've seen one morning I've seen 'em all
and I couldn't tell you anything I saw
And every breath I take
in the morning air
makes me so weak in the knees
so much I hardly can stand
My god saved me and I think that's just fine
but I can't help but keep on wasting his damn time
he's got better friends in company
and he's seen worse cases than he sees in me
so I'll keep finding ways to settle down
and I'll make sure to call when I come round
And every breath I take
in the morning air
makes me so weak in the knees
so much I hardly can stand

Town to Towne
03:18
|
|||
|
From time to time I hope you'll remember
all of the hours that we spent together
all our adventures and all of our failures
from town to town and state to state
they're singing our story they're playing our music
laughing and dancing and waiting on you to come
but oh how I wish that you were here
cause everyone knows everyone here
As years drag on the feelings get stronger
memories linger they billow and waver
old wounds soften and voices shout out refrains
cause in my mind I'm always there
with every elation and configuration
every notion of love and devotion
but oh how I wish that you were here
cause everyone knows everyone here
From time to time I hope you'll remember
all of the hours that we spent together
all our adventures and all of our failures
from town to town and state to state
they're singing our story they're playing our music
laughing and dancing and waiting on you to come
but oh, how I wish that you were here
cause everyone knows everything here

Ridiculously cute fanciful French folk. Dare you to resist the charm of the boom-biddy-boom singalong.

Entirely analog, lush melodic pop with a tender heart from L.A. artist Human Barbie sounds bigger than the bedroom project it is.
