Charisma charisma, oh she’s inside my head Decisions decisions, oh what I’ll do instead Limitless vision, nuclear warhead It’s getting real comfortable inside my head, inside my bed, I gotta make up my mind, I gotta learn to behave I know that she’s lost, Decisions, staying up late I’m missing decency, I twist my fate And she twist my arm, I tell her it's okay I just wanna relax I’ma take a day yeah I promise I’ll be back, you gotta learn to wait I’ll make her fight me any way I can, and maybe I’ll speak up, And let her be the man, and maybe Talk to myself at night, I’ll whisper sweet things in her ear tell her it’s alright, and now she start to see me clear It’s alright and now she start to see me clear, tell her it’s alright, oh it’s alright

Mermaid Man 04:06
You’re trying to talk I’m trying to hear Don’t worry, I’m listening dear, You’ve been here so long You’ve been here too long, yeah, Me, Even though, somebody’s crying bout all of the foods that they could go and try right now, Just try to love this place like oh my god, till its time to, to flyy— But why this damage I’m just standing in tarasana, Can’t sneak around, like this, is everybody, okay? So many problems, we can’t figure them out, we can’t, this sounds embarrassing, Go, I’ll sit back down and cheer ya, I feel amazing I fly out of the water, And I know it gets harder I take after my father, no why’d you come right home? Were you right about to lose control? Yeah, Mermaid man, You fly out of the water, and you know it gets harder you take after your father, no Please don’t ask me too much, I said, I feel like I just wanna gather my touch, I said, I found some patience in the mud on the floor, Ground collapse and I can’t take it no more, (more) No, and I don’t always want love, no, It seems our castle is falling down, The sound, I live with every faux pas, I know now, And you’ll marry some dumb dada who’s been asking his god, why? "Why this rock don’t sing?" And why’d you have to hold her breasts in your hands like cups of cold, water, And you’ve been walking on coals, hotter, Than you’ll ever know, my child, for real For real, and you're testing my patience And I feel so euphoric And I know my heart's racing, for you, Over you, and I find things so depressing, it's bad, Learned how to say my goodbyes but we just keep talking I feel amazing, I fly out of the water, And I know it gets harder I’ll look after my father, no Why’d you act so impressed? Why’d you call me like that? Why’d you have to ask? My child for real, For real, cause I don’t need too much, I said I’m out here on fire and I’m searching for trust, I said, I’ll buy some sevens Cause we’ve always had love, But oh lah lah, I don’t see it coming simple as that, Exasperated, by these symbiotic lonely relationships the limits in my eyes, obstructions always in place, and I will always imply that I just wanna go lay, down and stay inside, and you can keep them away, I said I’m just tryna trust, and you said you don’t have much and now we’re flocking too fast we flew faster than love, no, What is faster than me? And I can’t decide and you can’t, hardly breathe and we stay inside I feel like I’m just tryna bide some more time, you feelin that? Bottle some air so I can breathe it inside, you feelin that?

BBAG 03:14
Don’t give me anymore duct tape, to patch my mind I’m too embarrassed to follow you, forgive my pride There wasn’t anything keepin’ me going till now Until you left me in the dark, I din’t wanna play at all I see the way that you move inside my head oh no no no no I see the way that you're running from this world ohh no no no no These days I only survive, so please don’t scold me if something goes wrong (Baby I’ll live without you), I’ve been your problem too long, I’m too controlling when I’m feeling small And by now, I, see the value in something new And by now, I, see the value In something new And by nowowoww, ohhhh howwwwwwowwow like something new So don’t talk, too, much-- we’re getting old Time to get ready Time to get real Time to go steady Tell me how you feel And if there’s no profit I won’t force it Time to get ready Lend me your ear And I just wanna fly I just wanna feel the same That way we did before, Before all the strangers came And I just wanna fly, home with you So time to get ready

You sent me things that I shouldn’t have seen that night And your name flooded up my phone screen that night But don’t, don’t, take it back I did some things that I shouldn’t have done that night And I, broke my hand and broke your heart that night You, punched the wall with my knuckles that fight Cause I, thought it would be a waste to hold, you But don’t, don’t, take it back You found the proper answer I said no don’t take it, Still I keep chasing highs but my life stays unchanged You talk to me softly, but you’re mistaken and you think that we’re growing, but you’re mistaken, What was my name I can solve it when you’re gone And I’m tired of being changed cause I know just what I’m on I’m feeling strong, stronger Watch him looking for his things Although you’re trying to hear him now, it’s so obvious to us, when we lie to stay sincere, and I’m sorry that he used you and I’m sorry that I, used you too, Talk to me slow, I don’t like saying your name I was only passing by you, When you put me down with praise, And fucked my conscience And I, I can’t stay with you I know you feel me too, I know you feel me too, I know you feel me, But what you trying to say? That we’re just dealing? and Maybe it will work another way, another day I know you feel me, I know you can, I know you feel me Why can’t you feel me? Cause I’m trying to meet you in the middle of our fears and you know that we’ve been lying, to each other through these years I know you feel me but when I see you’re being fair, and I treasure our plotline but I’m tired of the cycle of of saying probably like every time The feeling’s gone but it always come back and so we’ll come back into, another lie to stay unspoken, guess tonight will have to do so let me take you home let me take you home

Go outside but feel more by myself this feeling lingers in the air Time sure does fly, we used to get that feeling, feeling like don’t care I looked at her for a couple of seconds but we’re feeling so ugly Wondering why did I get that feeling like that woman there was me Find a way to laugh about it, why the time won’t feel quite right Find a way to laugh about it, why we just can’t seem to smile I know that these walls, oh these walls, oh these walls they sure do hold us back I know that your arms your beliefs and your charms they might break my back so are you up for the task?

Nowhere Fast 04:32
You’re missing out on daylight And nobody see your face, you’ve been, You’re missin out on daylight You dream goals but sleep through plans, you’ve been, You’ve been around this whole state right? You know places where they stay open late I’m missing out and I can’t dance right Fall apart and you don’t know why When you’re going nowhere fast I hope you that can take it slow Cause you’re going nowhere fast I hope that you can take take it slow You’re stuck in conversation these words bounce off of the insides of your head behind these thoughts that you’re tracing I know you might just be more comfortable in bed You had some grace now you miss it, Light in your eyes but you feel dark and I guess that’s just life You’ve been misplacing ambitions, yeah, Going nowhere fast I hope you that can take it slow You’re going nowhere fast I hope that you can take take it slow
