hold up hold up
wait
please just let me say that
I don’t I don’t
see
just why this has to be
so sad so sad
oh
no we can make this work I’m
trying trying
to
a-avoid the worst
but then but then
you
you go ahead and say
we are we are
through
and I just have to be
cautious cautious
well
we could do that or
we could we could
prove
this is worth fighting for
it might be naive for me to say
I might be obtuse in this crazy game
so when the sun is just
a few million miles closer
that’s when we will become
a few thousand miles further
and I know you
really don’t like summer
well you didn’t choose this hemisphere
but I promise this will be
the coldest august ever
okay okay
I
I can deal with this
you just you just
need
a bit of time to think
it’s not it’s not
like
something happened no
you’re just you’re just
scared
and very overwhelmed
I just I just
know
you’ll get over it
but for but for
now
I clearly have to be
suppo suppo
rtive
and just talk to you
about about
all
the things you’re going through
and so I wait for you to change
for you to see that what we should be doing
is being together
so when the sun is just
a few million miles closer
that’s when we will become
a few thousand miles further
and I know you
really don’t like summer
well you didn’t choose this hemisphere
but I promise this will be
the coldest august ever
let’s spend the summer together
no need to resign as lovers
so when the sun is just
a few million miles closer
that’s when we will become
a few thousand miles further
and I know you
really don’t like summer
well you didn’t choose this hemisphere
but I promise this will be
the coldest august ever

Running Out Of Lies

some
years ago
I was naïve and malleable
it was then
unbeknownst to me
I would get my heart broken by a
succubus without a soul
I just let it go
all this time passed unaware my
careless stitches still show
I get afraid
every time I
look into your eyes
it makes me scared
when I can’t trace all the lines
that my thoughts make in my mind
and now I’m running out of lies
now
here I am
fast awake and overwhelmed
in my head
on repeat
these confessions that I cannot stand admitting
this little voice inside of me
from somewhere I don’t know
is telling me all the right things
but it sounds so wrong
I get afraid
every time I
look into your eyes
it makes me scared
when I can’t trace all the lines
that my thoughts make in my mind
and now I’m running out of lies
(Lots of really cool chopped up vocals)
I get afraid
every time I
look into your eyes
it makes me scared
when I can’t trace all the lines
that my thoughts make in my mind
and now I’m running out of lies

stopped at a park
lets see if I can find myself a-a tree to climb (there was one by the baseball field)
took my time scaled the branches now I’m out on a limb (pun intended)
saw some shoes by the roots of the tree, I wonder who they could belong to
I’m too close to the city
let’s see how far I can go
looks like I am
always
roaming
and looks like I can’t
ever
be still
cuz I’ve got this notion
that if I’m not pushing
myself to do something
I think is worth doing
I might as well just give up
‘stead of making it up
I’ll just wait for someone
to make my life
what I want it to be
now that it’s dark
let’s see if I can prove that I at least have a life
going out driving round but I’ve got nowhere to be
killed some time on a street where there were a couple of people getting something to eat
I’m so sick of this city
why do I try at all?
looks like I am
always
roaming
and looks like I can’t
ever
be still
cuz I’ve got this notion
that if I’m not pushing
myself to do something
I think is worth doing
I might as well just give up
‘stead of making it up
I’ll just wait for someone
to make my life
what I want it to be
(Breakdown with some harmonies)
looks like I am
always
roaming
and looks like I can’t
ever
be still
cuz I’ve got this notion
that if I’m not pushing
myself to do something
I think is worth doing
I might as well just give up
‘stead of making it up
I’ll just wait for someone
to make my life
what I want it to be

Zooey Deschanel

I saw you first on the cover of magazines
heard your praises sung by everyone and everything
you hooked us in with your bangs and adorable clothing
but I was sure there was something that we must be missing
and then I saw a movie
and I saw how you behaved
and then I saw your movie
and I saw the mistake you made
zooey deschanel
you’re a robot from hell
you’ve fooled everyone else
but you can’t fool me
zooey deschanel
you’re a robot from hell
you’ve fooled everyone else
but you can’t fool me
your perfect eyes perfectly hiding your soulless stare
one ice cold gaze and I knew your heart wasn’t there
and yet it seems that your line delivery has convinced ‘em
that you at least lead an oxygen filled existence
then I saw a mistake that you made
a fatal error in your calculations
causing you to reveal your secret
zooey deschanel
you’re a robot from hell
you’ve fooled everyone else
but you can’t fool me
zooey deschanel
you’re a robot from hell
you’ve fooled everyone else
but you can’t fool me
(Getting the crowd to help me out)
zooey deschanel
you’re a robot from hell
you’ve fooled everyone else
but you can’t fool me
zooey deschanel
you’re a robot from hell
you’ve fooled everyone else
but you can’t fool me
