Costco Magazine

Well your folks drove round my place and I was probably gettin’ high
Held a coffee and a Costco magazine down on my thigh
Your mom said “son it’s getting warm, you’re gonna waste another day”
I said “If that’s the case my dear why don’t you kill me now”
No you never seemed to care when you were half drunk before five
These days thought you speak so corporate yeah you barely seem alive
I think if I could make you breakfast I could stare into your eyes
But you don’t spend much time at home these days now do you
No I won’t hold you down
If you wanna leave, then leave
Lawn chair and a quiet town
Sounds like a pretty good life to me
Well the days they turned to weeks and then to months and then to years
And maybe it’s the lack of sleep, you know I’ve had a couple beers
But when I think of you that evening, yeah you stared into my eyes
That was the last time that I saw you, ain’t it sad
I drove down to California, tried to drown my sins away
It was the fourth night of July, I’m up in San Francisco Bay
And as I leaned into that moment, yeah I saw your stupid face
The fireworks behind the fog I couldn’t see em
No I won’t hold you down
If you wanna leave, then leave
Lawn chair and a quiet town
Sounds like a pretty good life to me

Calm You Down
03:55

Please tell me now, yeah I’m holding my breath
Yeah I’m holding a flame for you, I can confess
When I call your name there was never a sound, so I spun you around
Yeah your curls touched your dress
Singing I couldn’t sleep, and Hell, I’m in deep
If I saw you again, no I’m not sure what I’d do
Maybe I, I calm you down, and you take a step right next to me
I’m comin’ around, and I see your point, I want to spend some time with this
Maybe I, I calm you down, and you take a step right next to me
I’m comin’ around, and I see your point, I want to spend some time with this
Well I know your fears, yeah you whisper to me
Lay a kiss on your forehead, you lean into me
When Spring turns to fall, heard you got outta town
I forgot what it felt like my head in your hand
Singing I couldn’t sleep, and Hell, I’m in deep
If I saw you again, no I’m not sure what I’d do
Maybe I, I calm you down, and you take a step right next to me
I’m comin’ around, and I see your point, I want to spend some time with this
Maybe I, I calm you down, and you take a step right next to me
I’m comin’ around, and I see your point, I want to spend some time with this
Because I couldn’t tell you what you wanted, and I couldn’t take your disappointment
Maybe I, I calm you down, and you take a step right next to me
I’m comin’ around, and I see your point, I want to spend some time with this
Maybe I, I calm you down, and you take a step right next to me
I’m comin’ around, and I see your point, I want to spend some time with this

Make It Right
03:58

I’ve been hoping you could count it for me baby, all the ways I’ve ever let you down
I could sing it but my voice is kind of lazy, I keep it to myself, you never heard the sound
Now and then I like to take you out and hold you up, your hands can fidget while I catch your eyes and catch a ride
Close the door you know I need your whole attention, I’m waiting for your touch and your time
I’ll try to make it home tonight, so I can put the sprinkler on the lawn
I’ll try to make it right, because I still need your body in my arms
I’ll try to make it home tonight, I’m sleeping on the couch the TV’s on
I’ll try to make it right, because I still need your body in my arms
Take a second could you tell me what you like, not always great at reading social cues or reading minds
Just wanna see you smile and dance another night, please don’t leave me hanging behind
I’ll try to make it home tonight, so I can put the sprinkler on the lawn
I’ll try to make it right, because I still need your body in my arms
I’ll try to make it home tonight, I’m sleeping on the couch the TV’s on
I’ll try to make it right, because I still need your body in my arms
If you leave I swear I’ll be alright
I know that you’ve been dreaming, I know that it’s been tearing you up
Oh God, I tried so hard to ease your mind
I can feel you drifting away, I feel you breaking my heart
I’ll try to make it home tonight, so I can put the sprinkler on the lawn
I’ll try to make it right, because I still need your body in my arms
I’ll try to make it home tonight, I’m sleeping on the couch the TV’s on
I’ll try to make it right, because I still need your body in my arms

Door Step

Loss is a hole, in the valley, that my car, drives right through in the rain
A year to the day, I could’ve got married
I’m on the 210, my tears are breaking up again, and I can’t figure out the words to say
I was sitting on your doorstep, maybe you could find me, I’m hoping that you find me
And I’ve never been so jaded, yeah I’ve never felt malaise at the thought of life
I was sitting on your doorstep, maybe you could find me, I’m hoping that you find me
Well I guess I’ll wait this out
Fear is a hole in your heart, and my words, they couldn’t stick right from the start
Cause I’m just trying to keep up and keep myself from slipping, yeah things get kind of heavy sometimes
I’m living inside of my head, my tears are breaking up again, and I can’t figure out the words to say
I was sitting on your doorstep, maybe you could find me, I’m hoping that you find me
And I’ve never been so jaded, yeah I’ve never felt malaise at the thought of life
I was sitting on your doorstep, maybe you could find me, I’m hoping that you find me
Well I guess I’ll wait this out
I was sitting on your doorstep, maybe you could find me, I’m hoping that you find me
And I’ve never been so jaded, yeah I’ve never felt malaise at the thought of life
I was sitting on your doorstep, maybe you could find me, I’m hoping that you find me
Well I guess I’ll wait this out

Sweet Melody

I took a drive for taquitos, eat them alone in a parking space
She said she’d call when she gets home, and we can hang at her place
When you’re calling on me, it’s like a sweet sweet melody
Just fall into me, it’s like a sweet sweet melody
So play it cool when you meet up, I read you gotta say the right stuff
I tell a joke on her bedroom floor, yeah I can never get enough
When you’re calling on me, it’s like a sweet sweet melody
Just fall into me, it’s like a sweet sweet melody
Well I can feel forever when you crack me up
I can hear you breathing when I lift you up
I know you’ll never say it, but I feel your love
When you’re calling on me, it’s like a sweet sweet melody
Just fall into me, it’s like a sweet sweet melody
