Betrayal

When I first saw you, oh I couldn't believe
My eyes
When I first touched you, oh I couldn't believe
My hands
When I first kissed you, oh I couldn't believe
My lips
When I first smelled you, oh I couldn't believe
My nose
But then you changed
Oh, you changed
But I stayed the same

Not a soul
Not a soul in sight

There's something about Elie
Their manner always so friendly
Still remember that time I went to their house for karaoke
Sweetly performed a song by Prince
Sang and danced with a veritable grin
Musical mentor for developing humans
Hailing from the plentiful pastures of Massachusetts, Newton
They may take you for a ride in their zippy car
They may tell you a secret; how to be a pop star
First, you must be a multi-instrumentalist
Next you must have darling dark ringlets
Then, you must radiate a unique, specific charm
Give it all you got, a leg and an arm
But try as you might, work hard and dream...
There's only one Elie: Master of the Scene!

Wanna give you a ring and ask you
If you wanna go down to the library?
Ride in the elevators that looks exactly how they oughta be
Wanna give you a ring and ask you
If you wanna go down to the library?
You'll read a bookie and then I'll read a bookie
Oh, together, we'll read two bookies
But it'd be kinda hard
Yeah, it would prove a little difficult
Oh, it feels nearly impossible
'Cause you're all the way in New York City
But
My friend, in my wildest dreams,
I, I see you
My friend, in my wildest dreams,
Your brain is getting better soon
But until then,
I guess I'll go down
To the library
With just myself
and one book's gonna have to get read
at a time
Yeah, I'll go down to the library
all alone
Some would argue that sometimes we are alone
Others would argue we are always alone

I cannot carry a child
I am but a child myself

Are you coming back into town?
Please forgive me if I sound a little strange and a little down
You see that I've just been alone for so long
Do you remember my name?
I remember even the most tame
Elements of conversation, your lip glistening in condensation
Oh baby, you got my email
Let me know your trail
I'll drop all obligations and I'll scare you away

Mess (Rumor)
01:14
|
|||
|
I heard sometimes in the night we say things
We don't mean to
I hope that that is true
You said, "come over,
But is there a mess?"
There had already been a mess
You want me, but not the spills

A Day it All Went Wrong
01:25
|

|
Checking my hair in the window of every car on the way
Didn't care, I said to myself
I told to Talulah
Then you were there
Hadn't seen ya since graduation day
I'd declared that would be goodbye-
I wished you good luck in life

You can have my raisins
You can take my crust
You can have my craisins
That much you can trust
