That's Pretty Good
02:27

I'll be your friend
in the middle of a plague
when the world falls apart
and melts away
I'll be right here
being your friend
the best I can
and that's pretty good
I'll be your friend
in an ocean of jerks
as long as you want me to
and my phone works
I'll pick up when you call
but a text is way better
we can go for long walks
if there's ok weather
that's pretty good that's pretty good
I mean that's not just nothin'
that's pretty good that's pretty good
I think it should count for somethin'
hey! I think that's pretty good
oh yeah I think that's pretty good
that's pretty good that's pretty good
hey I think that's pretty good
that's pretty good that's pretty good
oh yeah I think that's pretty good
that's pretty good that's pretty good
hey I think that's pretty good
that's pretty good that's pretty good
oh I think that's pretty good
that's pretty good that's pretty good
hey I think that's pretty good
he thinks that's pretty good
he thinks that's pretty good

I'm feelin' a little bit better than I used to feel
I used to feel a little worse than I'm feelin' now
I'm not sure how or why it got better
but I'm writing you this letter
just to let you know I'm better than I used to be
I saw an interview with Lizzo
on my next guest needs no introduction
and she was just so positive
she reminded me that I could be positive too
whoa.. she shreds the flute
YEAH
I'm feelin' a little bit better than I used to feel
(to the top!)

The Demons
02:26

whoa that was unexpected
I had a good one a good one today
I sailed through undetected
nobody knew I kept the demons at bay
the demons the demons
that keep us from feelin'
they block out the sun
and choke out the breathin'
the demons the demons
and their non stop creepin'
I had a good one a good one today
I had to run till I was out of breath
I meditated I did my best
I swam the ocean tilll I couldn't see the shore
I swam back and then I swam some more
whoa that was unexpected
I had a good one a good one today
I sailed through undetected
nobody knew I kept the demons at bay
the demons the demons
that keep us from feelin'
they block out the sun
and choke out the breathin'
the demons the demons
and their non stop creepin'
I had a good one a good one today
I stared straight into the eyes of my dogs
they stared back it wasn't just the drugs
just like a whale just like a hawk
we are connected
I took em for a walk
CHORUS AGAIN
HEY
WHOO
They block out the sun
and choke out the breathin'
the demons the demons and their non stop freakin'
I had a good one a good one today

Still Got love
02:17

All this trauma but we're still in love
we're still in love, we're still in love
so much drama but we still got love
we still got love we got love
you said a mean thing and I said a bunch too
I'm still in love in love with you
I'm so sorry such a sorry piece of sorriness
I;m so sorry such a sorry piece of sack of shit
all this trauma but we're still in love
we're still in love we're still in love
you were hurtful I was hurtful too
I'm still in love in love with you
I'll be done bein' sad when you're done bein' blue
I just wanna be in love with you
Chorus
I'm still in love in love with you
got nothin' better to do
sometimes we're both sad but it's true
I'm still in love
got nothin' better to do
sometimes we're both sad but it's true
I'm still in love

Little Bits
02:40
|
|||
|
did I push it just a little too hard just a little too much just a little bit
I should've known a long long time ago
I could've toned it down I could have been around
just a little bit just a little bit
I could've toned it down I could have been around
just a little bit just a little bit
I could've toned it down before we both got sick of it
sick of it are you sick of it just a little bit
it's so obvious to outside eyes
rocking blinders on the inside
effortless effortless
effortless this cluttered mess
(to the top)
just a little bit 2x's
little bits 2x's

Light Headed
05:37
|
|||
|
this dome light is too bright
I'm seeing just a little too much
I need to vacuum and write some new tunes
I need to move I need to feel your touch
I've got big plans
I've got some great big plan
I bump the rear view
some things I can't undo
I'm feelin' just a little too much
I've got big plans
I've got some great big plans
did you wake up light headed
was it something I said or something I did
why is this room still spinning
light headed
all I want is for the world to stop and stare
throw some hands up in the air
and have a good time
let's have a good time
is that too much too much to ask
to have a good time
let's have a really really really good time
all I want is for the
all I want is for the world to have a good time
is that too much
too much to ask
could we just stop pushing each other down
no justice no good times
maybe an OK time sometimes but with a footnote

Broken Bones
02:19
|
|||
|
Did you ever see someone evaporate
watch them turn into steam right in front of your face
I've got a problem or two
I think that you could relate
I've got a problem accepting this fate
broken bones melting skin
broken bones taking it on the chin
broken bones
I think I could change the world
if I could just change my mind
I've gotta change
but I've got no spare dimes
shut them down
shut them all down
shutter your windows
shutter this town
broken bones melting skin
broken bones taking it on the chin
broken bones
you're breaking it out of spite
you're breaking it because you can
there is no help there is no plan
this is real for the rest of us
this is very very real
while one is skiing one is golfing
being served their every meal
broken bones on the mountain
melting skin on the 17th hole
broken bones on the mountain
broken
broken bones melting skin
broken bones taking it on the chin
broken bones

Gettin' At It
01:52
|
|||
|
Step outside and feel the sun
let the cool ocean air fill your lungs
we've been trapped inside
with the curtains drawn far too long
I know a hike that we've never been on
follow me up the mountains
to the redwoods at dawn
we'll watch the morning light
waking up the trees
and feel the pine needles
soft under or feet
and the alarm will screech before our sleeping is done
but we'll know it's not for work
today is for fun
and it will hurt for a second
but we'll put the coffee on
gettin up and gettin at it
gettin app and gettin going
oh these bones are kind of moaning
but it's time that they got goin
gettin up and gettin at it gettin goin
trail mix and apricots in my backpack
when we've walked far enough we'll have a snack attack
I can't believe these things
they taste so good
is it the exercise the company or the smell of the woods
gettin up and gettin at it
gettin app and gettin going
oh these bones are kind of moaning
but it's time that they got goin
gettin up and gettin at it gettin goin
I wanna see
what we can see
I wanna feel
what we can feel
I wanna work these legs while we both still can
while we're both strong enough
I wanna walk and hold your hand
gettin' up and gettin at it gettin goin
gettin up and gettin at it
gettin app and gettin going
oh these bones are kind of moaning
but it's time that they got goin
gettin up and gettin at it gettin goin

Idiot
03:02
|
|||
|
can't you see I'm an idiot
I can't control myself
I say stupid shit
it's like an out of body experience
when I say those hurtful things
can't you see I'm an idiot
I can't control myself
I say stupid shit
it's like an out of body experience
I won't take credit for it
because I'm spineless
have you grown accustomed to
the wicked ways the wicked ways of the world
are you used to it
like I'm used to it
are you embarrassed by the things
that you say and you do
well you'll get over it
like I'm over it
Whoa oh oh oh
can't you see I'm an idiot
take the mic away
before I torch the earth
can't believe you all let me get away with this
I'm a bully
I'm a narcissistic con artist
can't you see he's an idiot
he can't control himself
he says stupid shit
it's like an out of body experience
he won't take credit for it
because he's spineless
can't you see he's an idiot
idiot
idiot

That Didn't Hurt
02:43
|
|||
|
I will never be the first to complain
I've been rehearsing my whole life
practicing this game
I could shove a mountain down below the sea
no one needs to know that it exists but me
that didn't hurt
I could hide a firetruck inside my head
and watch the fires burn and keep the secret
until I'm dead
someone else will always crack
before I do
right when I'm about to snap
I watch them split in two
that didn't hurt
no not one bit
I barely noticed
I could hardly feel it
I turned that faucet off a long time ago
that didn't hurt one bit
that didn't hurt
that didn't hurt
solo!
is that strength or stubbornness
it's hard to tell the difference
when you're holding your breath
stacking boulders in a wall so you can't see
no nothin' will break through
no nothing gets to me
that didn't hurt
no not one bit
I barely noticed
I could hardly feel it
I turned that faucet off a long time ago
that didn't hurt one bit
that didn't hurt
that didn't hurt

Combat Season
02:43
|
|||
|
all is fair when you're in pain
no words too harsh
no punch too hard
within your frame
all who enter abandon reason
lose your center it's combat season
you say such vicious things
and I say them right back
well it's just combat season
attack attack attack
attack attack attack
dodging shots to step on landmines
these wartime trials exposing wartime crimes
all who enter abandon reason
lose your center it's combat season
you say such bitter things
and I send the bitterness back
well it's just combat season..
and I want this world to get better for you
I wanna hear your dreams
I wanna watch them come true
I want you to know I'm listening
I hear you I hear you
I know we've both got the tools
we could smash some patterns
and make some new rules
I want you to know I'm listening
I hear you I hear you
but this is combat season
yeah it's still combat season
so sick of combat season
attack attack attack
attack attack attack

If I Don't Have You
03:01
|

what if I don't have heart
what if I don't have a dream
what if I don't have a vision
what if I'm not what I seem
what if I don't have passion
what if I lose my drive
what if I lose my cellphone
what'll I stare at each night
and if I don't have you
gonna need a little help
if I don't have you
have to live with myself
if I don't have you
if I don't have you
if I don't have you
I'm gonna need a lotta help
I'll have to look for myself
If I don't have you
If I don't have you
