When I'm overwhelmed I go to my bed
There's a giant cloud that sits above my head
Maybe I'll sleep it all away
Close my eyes 'til life brings a new day
But baby, I'm so sorry
I'm trying my best to figure this out
I swear that I'm so happy
This crying won't fix what's already broken and dead
Just give me some time
Give me some time
All of this comes down to me and you
Forget all the things that she put you through
Do you feel the same way?
Let's close our eyes 'til life brings a new day
But baby, I'm so sorry
I'm trying my best to figure this out
I swear that I'm so happy
This crying won't fix what's already broken and dead
Just give me some time
Just give me some time
Just give me some time
Just give me some time

I get it, you're sad
He dropped the ball, no longer in your court
Try not to feel bad, but you tried to do
The same thing to me
I don't want to be mad
But your bodies stick together in my mind
I hope you feel glad, I hope that it was good for you
Please just stay away from Johnny
'Cause I love him, understand
I don't need your presence sitting on my chest above my hands
It's a really bad time right now
It's a really bad time right now
It's a really bad time right now
It's a really bad, really bad
My friends all tell me
To hope for the best
But I feel the worst
I try to get sleep
But my body won't stop shaking
I'm blue, I don't think I'm ready
For the consequences of your actions
Feel stupid and weak
Was I wrong to trust
It's a really bad time right now
It's a really bad time right now
It's a really bad time right now
It's a really bad, really bad
Please just stay away from Johnny
'Cause I love him, understand
I don't need your presence sitting on my chest above my hands
It's a really bad time right now
It's a really bad time right now
It's a really bad time right now
It's a really bad, really bad
Please just stay away from Johnny
'Cause I love him, understand
I don't need your presence sitting on my chest above my hands
It's a really bad time right now
It's a really bad time right now
It's a really bad time right now
It's a really bad, really bad

Dancing

Night time drives
In the city, with my guy
In the front seat
See my love sitting pretty
Love love
Shake the dust
I wanna go dancing
Loose these chains
And take me dancing
I wanna go dancing
Oh shake the dust
And take me dancing
Forest now
Take me swimming
With my love
No corporate living
See me wild
Wild wild
Shake the dust
I wanna go dancing
Loose these chains
And take me dancing
I wanna go dancing
Oh shake the dust
And take me dancing

Knocking
04:56

See there's things I can't take back
They've evened out the score
I see my lover, I know he sees me
And loves me all the more
I've been running, I've been running
I've been running a thousand miles
So take this boat and return it to the shore
I've been broken, I've been used up
Don't take me anymore
I see two birds, I see some stone
Don't kill them I implore
I see the highway, I see some cars
They're falling through the floor
I see my Lord, says he forgives me
He's knocking at my door
So take this boat and return it to the shore
I'm not broken, I'm not used up
Don't take me anymore
He's knocking at my door

Sunday drives downtown
I've gotta get you there
Time to change all my clothes
Time to cut off all of my hair
My door will always be
Always be open
My door will always be
Always be open to you
Johnny's gone far away
"Can you still get him back?"
I say
I'll do what it takes
I'll make myself fade away

Words

Just another day today
Rolling down the mountain
I remember yesterday
Like it was tomorrow
Words are just words
Are words are words
Days go on
And seasons change
Though my feet don't move
They stay the same
I know that I can't replace
The snow and the leaves to
The trees and the sky
To the rain

Wait
02:56
|
|||
|
Being on the road
It will be hard
Miss you like a ghost
Please don't go far
Tell my roommate Laura
That I love her
She's got all good things
To discover
Wait. Tell me it's alright
To be alone again
Bringing on new light
You are my best friend
Diamond in the rough
Is my city, when I try to leave
She holds me steady
But I wanna drive this car
Into the ocean
Leave behind the scars
That left me broken

Tree Trunks
03:40
|

|
I'm really starting to feel
Like I need someone to talk to
Every time I break
It pours out from my bones
Peel back the bark
I swear I won't bite
I'm really tired of this fight
Really tired of this fight
Climb into my lungs
There you'll find smoke rings
Like tree trunks
And do it again
Through the inhales and exhales
Try not to pollute
This sacred land
I'm really starting to feel like I'm going to go crazy
Every time the wind blows it rushes through my veins
I'll lose my leaves like there you left me
I'm really tired of your claim
Really tired of your claim
Climb into my lungs
There you'll find smoke rings
Like tree trunks
And do it again
Through the inhales and exhales
Try not to pollute
As you take my hand

You're Okay
03:31

I know that I am not forgot,
Weights and measures can't be enough
I don't have much to cry about
25 years and I still have my doubts
I've got friends who say they love me
Remind me daily they're thinking of me
I know that I am not forgot,
Weights and measures can't be enough
Take that mirror and throw it away
Break the mold, rework the clay
I will never love the way my body looks
But that's okay
So I'll tell my brain to cool it down
Negative thoughts can't stick around
I know that I am not forgot,
Weights and measures can't be enough
Take that mirror and throw it away
Break the mold, rework the clay
You're okay, you're okay, you're okay

These legs are so, so damn heavy, oh I can't move
You say that you wanna go on steady, but I can't move
Brother won't you pick me up, oh I need sleep
Brother won't you pick me up, oh I need sleep
These eyes are so, so damn heavy, oh I can't sleep
I don't know if I'll be ready, oh I need sleep

Diamonds

So you're looking for stones
And you're standing on a gold mine
And you're trying to find home
Cause she's stuck there in your mind
And the weather gets cold
So you trek it out on your own
You're trying to find home
When will you realize
That holding her tight
Won't turn her to diamonds
Oh I can see it in your eyes
That you're still looking for gold
But you don't seem to realize
That I'm standing right here
So when you give up on diamonds
And you come looking for gold
I swear I won't hide it

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way).
