You can find me at The Sad Cafe facedown in the bolognese I'm deep in my head over something I said I can't control myself, I need help Easy for those who can cry what am I like when I'm not what I'm like? I'm alive in a time where my mind isn't mine and I can't feel right Trying to read but I can't sit still a divide in my mind I can't see how I feel I'm alive in a time where my mind isn't mine but it still feels real Meet me again at The Sad Cafe facedown in the bolognese I'm deep in my head over something I said I can't control myself, I need help Meet me again at The Sad Cafe something easy at the end of the day when your life is tough, and you've seen enough to know that it won't change Watching a show that I've already seen writing to someone who's writing to me junkies and punks and bricklayers creep while taxpayers sleep The hope of you still in my mind can I just replace the face in my mind? I don't like the odds of being a guy who just feels fine Meet me again at The Sad Cafe facedown in the hollandaise deep in my head over something I said I can't control myself, I need help Meet me again at The Sad Cafe something easy at the end of the day when your life is tough, and you've seen enough to know that it won't change

You were inconsolable felt like I was missing a piece of the puzzle felt like I was seeing double it never meant this much before it never hurt this much before You're a stoplight turning amber you're a misspoke quote you're someone's oldest joke you're an unsatisfying answer you're a badly burnt out star is that what you are? Is that what you are? You were uncontrollable oh, you were getting something for nothing for a while at least, the skin off of your teeth it never meant this much before it never hurt this much before You're a stoplight turning amber a misquoted verse you've not bothered to learn you're an unsatisfying answer to why are we together you're positioning the spotlight on your star is that what you are? Is that what you are?

Ain't it funny how these things turn out first you cannot live without me when I say I love you, you still doubt me fast-forward eighteen months, it's all worked out unravelled like a sweater, you said you want to but do you really even want to stay together? First you said your parents didn't like me well, now they like me fine but you really only like me half the time You review me like a book you'd like to write but in the end you didn't write and only read and didn't like Ain't it funny how we fall in love first you're hanging on each word that someone says then you wish that they were dead It's so funny how things fall apart I used to count your every breath, now we're sleeping back to back don't tell me I know well enough there's nothing left First you said your parents didn't like me well, now they like me fine but you really only like me half the time You review me like a book you'd like to write but in the end you didn't write and only read and didn't like It's so funny the gap that's come between us was brought on by closeness felt an irrational reaction of the self isn't it strange there's no other way to do this in such a modern age we couple and uncouple in a prehistoric way

I'll be sitting in your section with a vision in my mind pretending we're together and I'm a different sort of guy who drives an orange charger and picks you up at night and rides round with the top down throwing empty smirnoff ice but I'm not that guy, I can't be him you wouldn't like me for the person that I am I can't connect to other people I can't let myself be loved it's hard enough to order breakfast without throwing up, but I'm growing up I am sitting in your section, hiding my erection with a coat

I think I saw your twin on Sunday in the back row of the cinema I spun around to look at her You were on my mind that Monday A cheque came in your name should I just throw it away? We're breaking up Did you honestly Mean every word that you promised to me unsustainably In your head it doesn't seem far-fetched to me did you, probably did you wanna be if this was done in earnest with your whole heart, well it's not working Oh yeah it's rotten it's rotten like an apple with an alcoholic fizz it's rotten like the end of all of this I deleted all your photos off my phone again today but they're all saved... we're breaking up Same restaurants, same bars same cafes and still we share a car we're breaking up Did you honestly Mean every word that you promised to me unsustainably In your head it doesn't seem far-fetched to me did you, probably did you wanna be if this was done in earnest with your whole heart, well it's not working Oh yeah it's rotten it's rotten like an apple with an alcoholic fizz it's rotten like the end of all of this How do I take an axe and swing it into the neck of constant nagging feelings not good enough, not tried enough, it's hard it can't just work for one person and sickly limp along goodbye to my pride, it's dead and gone Oh yeah it's rotten it's rotten like an apple with an alcoholic fizz rotten like the end of all of this

Scotland 04:29
Let's delete our Facebook accounts and walk into the sea I've lived in Vancouver too long and I think that it's finally getting to me You moved to Berlin for a year and you made like five new friends I want some of that glow to myself hey I'm already getting heated just thinking of them that guy that you were dating was pretty whack you nearly gave him the keys to the range when I said that I didn't like college kids he asked if that's a class or a cultural thing Would you want to move with me to Scotland? We could live at the edge of a loch We'd have to quit our jobs, kill our parents or maybe nothing like that at all We don't have to stay in love forever oh, we don't have to be in love at all I'm happy long as we're together and when we're not I hope my memory's gone memory's gone You're different and that's why I like you you want to be a writer as well It's embarrassing the first time you say it but if you say it a lot then I'll say it myself I know it seems like I'm carrying baggage I'm just looking for what love don't do I don't want cheating or lying or fighting or crying but I don't want to die alone do you want that too When there's a popular song, and it feels like you're the only two people who know I just want to love you baby, always thinking of you baby Would you want to move with me to Scotland? We could live at the edge of a loch We'd have to quit our jobs, kill our parents or maybe nothing like that at all We don't have to stay in love forever oh, we don't have to be in love at all I'm happy long as we're together and when we're not I hope my memory's gone memory's gone Would you want to live with me in Woodlands in an ancient flat above a shop in the morning we commute downstairs clutching cups of tea just to warm up We don't have to stay in love forever oh, we don't have to be in love at all I'm happy long as we're together and when we're not I hope my memory's gone memory's gone

A Way To Be 02:45
You wrote to the sound of the click from the fan as it turns around, oscillates now in the room that you rent where it never cools down you wrote it all down, accelerates now You pull your new smiling face from a cigarette ad, and also the hat you walk to the metro and just hang around with a book in your hand, no one's questioning that You know how to be, you're just looking for a way to be You know how to be, you're just looking for a way to be You show yourself to your parents and you will be tested You show yourself to the world and you'll be arrested You know how to be, you're just looking for a way to be You know how to be, you're just looking for a way to be You cried when you danced in the club and it's dark enough now, that no one can tell you lean in for a neck-nibble, you reach around and wipe snot from your nose on a burberry coat How do you dutifully reconcile your past to you now, impossible now You walk to the overpass on your way home hear the distance between, yourself and the road You know how to be, you're just looking for a way to be You know how to be, you're just looking for a way to be You show yourself to your parents and you will be tested You show yourself to the world and you'll be arrested You know how to be, you're just looking for a way to be You know how to be, you're just looking for a way to be

I know you're thinking about your mother's short life nothing that we planned panned out right I know you're feeling down but you will come round I know you're paying still for just wanting what's real Wait, there's someone that loves you babe there's someone just waiting for their baby in a pram to push you home to pick you up when you think you fucked it all I know you're dreaming about getting on out The things that you think may feel wrong your friends might hold you down is it too late to tell you now we could help each other out I know you're paying still for just saying how you feel Wait, there's someone that loves you babe there's someone just waiting for their baby in a pram to push you home to pick you up when you think you fucked it all Wait, there's someone that loves you babe there's someone just waiting for their baby in a pram to push you home to pick you up when you think you fucked it all

In My Town 04:14
In my town, there's nothing new now gangs of kids, all grown up now in their place, kids somehow exist without gangs the carpark is empty, the high school is not I walk down the planks of the pier to the spot We were there at sixteen and pretending to jump I was actually going to and not come back up and swim out past the breakers and into the fog and not really care if I came back at all There's a part of me still pinned in place by your hand so thank you for caring enough to be mad I never thought, I'd remember it was stupid, to promise each other in that place, to always not be far away a drive is a weekend, a phone call is not I walk down the planks of the pier to the spot We were there at sixteen and pretending to jump I was actually going to and not come back up and swim out past the breakers and into the fog and not really care if I came back at all In my town, there's nothing new now friends my age, don't go out now in their place, reared up and pushing away there's a purposeless line that we drunkenly walk slipping and forcing our feet to the spot We were there at sixteen and pretending to jump what if we had and just not come back up and drift out past the breakers and into the fog would anyone care if we came back at all Part of me still feels you pressed to my mouth thank you for showing me what life is about in my town, in my town in my town, in my town in my town, nothing new now in my town, nothing new now
