Take it Forever
03:32
|
|||
sometimes it feels like nothing matters
sometimes it feels like everything matters
so we invent a separate self
for all the secrets we’ll never tell
we take our stories from television
we’re haunted by our own ambition
and no one’s looking out for each other
when everything is a competition
everyone is casting spells
building myths around themselves
and all we want is everything
and all we find is suffering
the point of everything i guess
is “don’t give in to bitterness”
because you and i are here right now
and nothing matters anyhow
so take it easy
take it forever
i hope this song
makes you feel better
it’s been a good year
and we’re together
so take it easy
take it forever
i suppose
i should be clear
i am indifferent
to exclusive premieres
on someone’s website
or wherever
it’s in the ether
it’s lost forever
cause everyone
just stays at home
with seven tabs
of google chrome
and we’re nostalgic
for cross bones style
i’ll look for you left of the dial
left of the dial
but i heard your band
on NPR
I hope that means
that you’ll go far
i hope it matters
a little more
maybe it does
but i’m not sure
either way
let’s raise our glass
drink to the future
and to the past
drink for all the songs we missed
when no one payed a publicist
and take it easy
take it forever
i hope this song
makes you feel better
it’s been a good year
and we’re together
so take it easy
take it forever

Lost in the World
03:36
|
|||
so we never got famous
and we never left home
there were times when i was lonely
i was never alone
and all my friends got tired
everybody moves on
i always seemed to find a reason and i
i kept singing songs
some were borne of imitation
of the people i admired
some were borne of pure ambition
others borne of desire
some were borne of a compulsion
or an irrational fear
that if i didn’t get it all down i would somehow disappear
sometimes it feels like it takes all that you’ve got
just to keep from unraveling
sometimes it feels just like you won the whole goddamned thing
i used to want to make a record
just to know i was alive
it took a while for me to figure out my own way to survive
the only virtue is irreverence
claim your own authority
and never let yourself get bitter
don’t forget that you are free
take a moment to remember you’re alive and you’re awake
take your time to look around you
take your time to make mistakes
there’s something infinite inside you
that no one else can ever know
there is is stillness and a silence
a place where no one else can go
sometimes it feels like you get lost in the world
and you’re tired of wandering
sometimes if feels just like you won the whole goddamned thing

Losing Time
03:50
|

I’ve been losing time again
seasons get away from me
trying to chase away these blues
singing in a minor key
i was such a fatalist
build it up and tear it down
the moon is following the tide
is it the other way around?
you could open up your heart
to people that you’ve never met
a poet for the modern age
famous on the internet
i could teach the world to end
you could paint the front door red
yeah i’ve seen your video
and i’ll love you till i’m dead
I remember all the things you used to say
In the evening just before the light was gone
Now I'm on the outside
And I'm far away
From that feeling I was chasing all along
happiness will come in waves
i just had that dream again
someone shut the whole thing down
now it’s hard to find your friends
what’s the point of all of this?
is there a meaning to this game?
what is it we’re fighting for?
I don’t think I caught your name?
build it up and watch it all come crashing down
when its over start to build it up again
Even if its not the life you dreamed about
everything you did was worth it in the end
celebrate the things you love
this is where you’re meant to be
try and keep an open heart
dream a little dream of me

We made our own world
and it’s only a dream
but we’re in it together
when you’re fighting a war
sometimes you lose
the thing you love the most
and i know i’m alone
i know that i’m older
and it feels like forever
i was trying to go back
to the way that things were
i was chasing a ghost
I’m a million miles away
stumbling through my 9 to 5
I’m not sure what happens next
But it feels good to be alive
you were banging the drum
i was ringing the bell
we were full of ambition
i was playing it cool
you were casting your spell
we were doomed from the start
at the end of the day
we did all that we could
not to burn down the mission
we had nothing to prove
except to ourselves when it al came apart
Lately I’ve been losing sleep
Writing letters to myself
I’ve got promises to keep
And a dream too long to tell
I’ve been trying to get across
changes i’ve been going through
i wanted this to mean something
even just to me and you

Song For Camden Power
03:15
|
|||
it was all a dream
I used to read tape op magazine
pavement and neutral milk hotel
tube amps and reel to reel machines
close the bedroom door
get tangled up in tapes and cords
and plug the 58
into the 424
i had no plans and no ambitions
except maybe to forget the world outside
because if i could forget the world outside
i’d feel ok
it was a most irreverent mission
i didn’t have anywhere else to go
it was a place to put things i didn’t know
I had to say
Later on I had a band
Camden Power was a fan
what was that line that says “Freedom is to be understood and to understand”?
He did some covers of our songs
We traded emails off and on
One night he tells me he saw God
then 3 weeks later he was gone
I don’t know why these things happen
Maybe no one is meant for anything at all
Maybe all of this is only meant to pass the time
but yeah i’ve always been that singer
who sang the words like they meant too much
and that’s because the words always mean too much in my mind

We'll Be Forgotten
03:36
|
|||
i wanted everything and nothing
maybe i’m never sure of anything
i was just searching for a feeling
something to keep me from unraveling
i was just following the changes
i was just listening for the chords i’d known
searching for something that’s familiar
trying to find somewhere that feels like home
i know
one day
that we
will be forgotten
maybe this was all just meant to pass the time a way and if it’s good then in a way it makes us feel a little less alone?
i never cared about religion
i only wanna to sing a righteous song
i was just looking for a good time
i wanna find a way to get along
i didn’t need to know the reasons
for all these changes we’ve been going through
I only wanted this to matter
even if only just for me and you
i know
one day
that we
will be forgotten
maybe this was all just meant to pass the time a way and if it’s good then in a way it makes us feel a little less alone?

Invisible Cities
05:10
|
|||
See there's something that's wrong with my heart
I never knew who I was
I've been stumbling along in the dark
Looking out for your love
And I'm out on the edge of the world
Waiting for you
Looking out for your love
Got away from myself for a while
I didn't know where I was
In invisible Cities at night
Looking out for your love
And I'm out on the edge of the world
Waiting
For you
Looking out for your love
I was in the basement of a bar
I was at the end of a subway car
I was falling asleep on a silver cloud
I was wondering where you are now
And I'm out on the edge of the world
Waiting for you
Looking out for your love
