I Wanna FUOTF

8:05 on a wintry night
I park the car, turn off the headlights
Pull my hood up over my ears
I race up the steps and type in the key
1 2 3 5 open sesame
It's only been a week but I feel I been waiting for years
Yes I've been imagining this moment for a while
The smell of your building, the heat of your smile
Reciting all the details of the story to myself like a newscaster
I pause in the corner to check my mascara, mouth feeling dry as the central Sahara
I walk down the hall, feel my heart beat faster, faster, faster
I wanna fuck you on the floor
I wanna fuck you when I walk through that door
I wanna fuck you on the floor
I wanna fuck you then I wanna fuck some more
You greet me like I'm one of your bros
With a high-five and a stoney hello
I love the sound of my name on your lips
And every glance I steal at you as we're singing
Steals my breath too and sets my head spinning
Dizzy deliciousness like a mountaintop view
And something just makes me wonder
If you want it too
I wanna fuck you on the floor
I wanna fuck you when I walk through that door
I wanna fuck you on the floor
I wanna fuck you then I wanna fuck some more

What Will There Be

When there is no more me, what will there be
And when there is no more you, what will I do
When there is no more you, what will I do
And when there is no more me, what will there be
Memory is fickle, but it's all I have of you
It's all I have of you
Holding a picture of the face that made me
Wishing I could talk to you
But we won't ever get to talk again
We won't get another laugh, another midnight snack
And I'm trying to believe that there's something in the end
That somehow we'll meet again
Is there something in the end
When there is no more me, what will there be
And when there is no more you, what will I do
When there is no more you, what will I do
And when there is no more me, what will there be
I wake in the night, terror pounding in my chest
My heart a ticking bomb
How to prepare for something we can't comprehend
Or am I looking at this wrong
Maybe there's no reason we should cry
Maybe God is taking notes, a holy clipboard in the sky
So there can be some record that each of us was here
After a thousand dusty years
Or do we all just disappear
Do we disappear
When there is no more me, what will there be
And when there is no more you, what will I do
When there is no more you, what will I do
And when there is no more
When there is no more me

Nemesis
04:03

It follows me around
From man to man, from town to town
A sniper in the shadows waiting to take me down
No matter what I do
No matter how much I trust you
No amount of pushing it away makes it any less true
And when you ask me what's wrong
It's always the same old, same old shit
And I'm so sick of feeling it
I'm so sick of it
Oh the more I try to run
The stronger it becomes
Oh will I ever get myself free
Tonight it's you and me and my jealousy
She's anyone and no one
Who makes you laugh, who's too much fun
She's never done me any harm but I wanna cut her throat
And I hate that it's a part of me
It's so far from who I wanna be
But I can feel its claws sinking deeper til it grips my bones
And when you ask me what's wrong
It's always the same old, same old shit
And no one but myself to blame for it
Oh the more I try to run
The stronger it becomes
Oh will I ever get myself free
Tonight it's you and me and my jealousy
Nobody can make a fool out of me
If I get there first
I don't own you
You could fall in love with someone else
But I can't continue running from myself
It's so far from who I wanna be
But is it trying to protect me
Oh the more I try to run
The stronger it becomes
I've tried all my life to get myself free
It's always you and me and
Oh the more I try to run
The stronger it becomes
Maybe I'll never get myself free
Tonight it's you and me
It's always you and me
Forever you and me and jealousy

Soft
03:17

I'm a turtle without a shell
Everything pierces, everything hurts like hell
I go slowly about my days
But my eyes are quick to well up and give me away
Oh, am I broken
A faucet that won't turn off
Cut me wide open
God made me too damn soft
God made me too damn soft
I'm a giraffe without a spine
Walking around pretending like everything's fine
And I can't help but watch my friends
Wondering what is their secret, how do they get out of bed
Oh, am I broken
A faucet that won't turn off
Cut me wide open
God made me too damn soft
God made me too damn soft
The funny thing is, I love softness
When it's a song, a fuzzy blanket, or a baby's cheek
When it's a satin pillowcase
When it doesn't mean I'm weak
What if the fact that everything's so hard
Doesn't mean I'm missing any parts
What if I'm not broken
Oh I'm just feeling it all
Go ahead, cut me open
God made me so damn strong
God made me so damn soft
