what never runs?
what eats the sun?
got two thumbs?
between you and me
off the record, confidentially
i've got no interest in divinity
'cause it seems
that between you and me
and half the nation, man
there's gotta be
some explanation other than the one you're presenting
was it something i said?
was it something i did?
was it something i meant every word of?
'cause to a guy like me
there's no rhyme or reason
or way things oughtta be
life's just a season and i'll enjoy the spring while i can
oh yeah, he's one of those
one of those assholes who just thinks he knows
he's got a good point there though i suppose
don't tell him though
was it something i said?
was it something i did?
was it something i meant every word of?
and those friends you've got
one's name is judas and the other one
his name is brutus and they've got a gun
you better run
oh but i've played the part
both been a douche bag and i've had a heart
ain't no vacations right from the start
until a pine box is the only place left to park
was it something i said?
was it something i did?
was it something i meant every word of?
she put me on the spot
you think you're clever but you're really not
although, however why don't you take a walk
don't ring my bell, dont try and knock

i'm not trying to be creepy
i was just thinking i might wanna wave and say 'hello'
was wondering how it's going
i'd like to be knowing
what thoughts might be floating across your mind
because i've got a crush on you
that much i know now
and i dig that ponytail
and i think you're beautiful, like holy cow!
and that jacket looks great on you
and i knew it was gonna be a good day when i walked out
and heard you start your malibu from inside your house
i'm not trying to be nosey
i was just hoping that you might wanna wave back at me
say, what's your dog's name?
sure thing, i'll walk him
anytime, and you don't even have to say 'please'
'cause you're that pretty
so i'll be here waiting
checking the missed connection section
of my newspaper everyday, girl
hey my name's isaiah
just think of all the gas it'd save you
if you wanted a date, i'm ten yards away

just wait
'til all that's left is scaffolding and sky
and no point to put your finger on
save the one on your own knife
i can tell
that all that time spent working on yourself
didn't amount to beans
not in high water
certainly not in hell
and i've been thinking about it lately
decided that innately i hope you fall hard
when you finally do
well, i could lie and say i'd miss you
but the straight up truth is mr.
that the world would be better off without you in it
i hope that right before you die
that i will be there to laugh
and all the hospital ghosts and nurses and such will join in with me
well, it'd make me feel fortified to know that i helped bring about your end
i only wish that i'd been there at the time
so i could do it in the first degree
your state of mind
wasn't by chance but rather by design
though i didn't know it at the time
that's something i would later on come to find
and i know you don't wanna hear it
but i'd prefer to make it crystal clear
there's never gonna be a truce
between me and you

thou shalt not want
because i want for you
i bunch your hair up in my hands
and let it all down at once
maybe nothing hurts in heaven?
then again, maybe it does
iffin' it was made for us

what was her name?
sugarcane?
might as well have been
know what i mean?
don't make me crawl around in the mud and the blood and the trenches
cuz i will
don't make me take up arms and declare war upon the world
cuz i will
don't make me work five jobs with a side hustle and all
cuz i will
don't make me bang on your door, por favor, and crawl on all fours like a dog
cuz i will
don't make me wear a suit and tie, go to church and speak in tongues
cuz i will
don't call me unless you got a job needs getting done
cuz I will

oh hey i'm looking for a book
thought maybe you could help me out
it's the one right there on the bottom shelf
nevermind, that's not the one
think it's a little further down
oh you're so smart, how do ya do it?
'cause you look so good
when you read norwegian wood
it's not really my thing but maybe i'll try it
and when you walk that way
i don't know what to say
that ain't been thought of by dylan thomas
and if you like my diction
i'll be over here in fiction
tell ya girl, you don't know what you're missing
'cause i can tell just by your sweater
you thought the book was better
well, let's listen to npr together
or whatever you do
oh you're a dirty, dirty bird
but you're dressed up like a nerd
and you ain't fooling anybody
come on
you can tell me
it must get so damn lonely
just you and all these books and your good looks yeah

Time Over Distance
03:29

well there's still a fair amount of distance
between us and i ain't talking about the miles
my kisses are met with little resistance
but time over distance
ain't it a bitch, yeah
and to look away
well that's tantamount to treason
wouldn't miss that face
not for the world
it's not what you say
and it surely ain't the meaning
it's the way that you say it gives me reason for praying
and i've done a fair amount of research
into what makes you mad
like when i dissed your waxahatchee record
it was three days before you dm'd me again
admittedly, a little rough around the edges
but come one day you might come to find
when all you get from me is a pre-recorded message
remember, time over distance
ain't it a bitch yeah
and i've done a fair amount of research
into what gets you hot
i could compile myself a thesis
of conversations in silence
just me and your iris
time over distance
ain't it a bitch, wink
and i've done a fair amount of research....
