"Square One" lyrics
"Square One"
Does anybody here have a soul?
Put the thermostat on overdrive, the air is bitter cold
Everywhere I look is nip and tuck
And every song they play in here is vapid as fuck
Well I don't give a shit about the weekend
I don't wanna hear about your car or what you're drinking
Don't know what to make of all of it
The same people claiming "it gets better" treat everyone like shit, and
Everyone sings about leaving, breaking off
But where the hell do they run?
Here we were receiving, giving, making love
'Til some something came undone
Sticking me back at square one
Pigs & asses used to lived on farms
Friendly skies weren't always overrun by airborne infants in arms
Life's a beach, and should you swim astray
You'll fade to grey some castaway, there's no lifeguard service today
Falling for the foolish can be tough
But everything is possible when you hate yourself enough
Not my proudest moment but the one I've got
It's a little painful being so much less cool than you by a lot
Everyone sings about leaving, breaking off
But where the hell do they run?
Here we were receiving, giving, making love
'Til some something came undone
Sticking me back at square one
I just met you yesterday, and I'm already imagining the break-up
A little lovemaking and a second latte is enough to keep me charging toward the shakeup
You're fucking out of my league, when will I learn it?
Could sell the devil my soul, and he'd return it
Everyone sings about leaving, breaking off
But where the hell do they run?
Here we were receiving, giving, making love
'Til some something came undone
Sticking me back at square one

Vienna Teng - "Stray Italian Greyhound" Oh no not now
Please not now
I just settled into the glass half empty
Made myself at home
And so why now
Please not now

Harbors of my own

We are friends in a sleeping bag splitting the heat
We have one filthy pillow to share and your lips are in my hair
Someone upstairs has a rat that we laughed at
And people are drinking

Ingrid Michaelson - "Drink You Gone" You can't lie
Words stay once said
Hard to live, so I play dead
I can't drink you gone
I can't smoke you out
I can't eat away the way that you ate my heart out
Like a sinking ship while the band...

We could lie on our backs underneath the white flags
There emotions at rise up
They're into us for no one in particular

Mary Lambert - "I'd Be Your Wife" These are my hands
These are all that I've got
I've looked around
And you're the one that I want
I'm not really clever
But I got a lil' spark of a heart
That's waiting for you to start
I'd be your...
