2GOOD DESIGNER
Writing love
Oh darling do you even like how I operate or It's rearranging on the page here once again (hey!)
Do you just hang around 'cause it's more convenient Is that enough?
yeah To paint emotions on a face until it ends (yeah)
I'm only asking because it's kinda late right now and (Hey)
If it's not obvious I, I drank a couple down I'm
Always questioning all the motivations and I know Swimming in the sound
It's not productive but I just Swimming in the sound of love
Hate the thought that you would love me out of habit I wouldn't let you down
when you're When I see you drowning
And when the world's coming down
You're too fuckin good to me And there's nobody left but us
You're too fuckin good to be true You're the designer
Yes, I wanna be your boy at the end of the day
I kinda can't believe that, that you're not sick of me I just wanna keep on saying your name
yet Kiss me if you mean all the things that you say
I dig these holes and I can't make it back out of them I don't wanna keep on playing your games
oh
Remember when I was sick, could have got rid of me Yes, I wanna be your boy at the end of the day
then Ain't about to let nobody get in the way
Instead you hung around until I found my feet again I don't really have much left to say
it's Baby, just keep on loving me like you do (yeah)
So nostalgic, yeah when I think about it and I know Like I do
It sounds dramatic, yeah but only you could ever love
Baby, just keep on loving me like you do (yeah)
me at my lowest because
Like I do (yeah)
Baby, just keep on loving me like you do
You're too fuckin good to me
You're too fuckin good to be true Waking up
And I can feel the simulation start to fade
I over analyze and complicate my situation I'm tuning in
For someone who writes a lot I'm not so good at And not dropping out
communicating 'Cause I wanna see it when it's coming back around
I suck at metaphors so I can't find the double Swimming in the sound
meaning Swimming in the sound of love
I guess it's not that hard so I'll just go ahead and say I wouldn't let you down
it When I see you drowning
And when the world's coming down
You're too fuckin good to me And there's nobody left but us
You're too fuckin good to be true You're the designer
You're too fuckin good to me
You're too fuckin good to be true Yes, I wanna be your boy at the end of the day
I just wanna keep on saying your name
I over analyze and complicate my situation Kiss me if you mean all the things that you say
For someone who writes a lot I'm not so good at I don't wanna keep on playing your games
communicating Yes, I wanna be your boy at the end of the day
I suck at metaphors so I can't find the double Ain't about to let nobody get in the way
meaning I don't really have much left to say
I guess it's not that hard so I'll just go ahead and say Baby, just keep on loving me like you do
it
Baby, just keep on loving me like you do
(Yeah)
(Like you do, yeah)
(Yeah)
Baby, just keep on loving me like you do
(Like you do)
(Like you do) FIND A WAY
(Baby, just keep on loving me like you do)
(Yeah, yeah) I know you that you don't wanna talk
I know I was drunk when you called
Baby, just keep on loving me like you do I know I can't expect you to stay
But I hope, hope that you find a way
THE QUESTION A way, a way
Moon-beaming in the parking lot
Find a way, find a way
The vampires link up in the corridors
Find a way, find a way
Said that she knows a spot
We can get a little late night ambience
Comes from a slower town I know it'll take you some time
Where there's not a lot of options to go around Yeah do what you want, clear your mind if you don't
But she could never settle down, no have the words to explain
Then I hope, hope that you find a way
So here we are and now I'm feeling the tension A way, a way
I make an impression
She asks me the question and I said (I said) I hope, hope that you find a way
Well, I guess it depends I hope, hope that you find a way
Will you love me 'til the end?
When all the lights go out I know it's been a long time
Will you tell them all again? And I've been making you wait
'Cause I don't need a friend If you can wait a little longer
I got enough of them (of them) Just a little longer
If I tell you what I want (I want) I know I can't ask for any more
Then you won't have to pretend (pretend) I hope you find a way
'Cause I don't need a friend
That you, can find a way
Moved to the city when you found a job That you, can find a way
The work kinda sucks but it pays a lot That you, can find a way
The money came in and you spent it all That you, can find a way
On a one bedroom in a shady spot I hope, hope that you find a way
Asked why I always hang around so late I hope, hope that you find a way
Well, you never see the sun here anyway I hope, hope that you find a way
And the air's thick enough for the sky to scrape I hope, hope that you find a way
You started laughing now I'm feeling the tension
I make an impression
You ask me the question and I said (I said)
Well, I guess it depends
Will you love me 'til the end?
When all lights go out
Will you tell them all again?
'Cause I don't need a friend
I got enough of them (of them)
If I tell you what I want (I want)
Then you won't have to pretend (pretend)
'Cause I don't need a f-
'Cause I don't need a friend (yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
COULD YOU NOT Me feel when I was down were so valuable
Still so young, guess I'm malleable
Could you not speak so loud?
Shook me up now I'm someone new
Could you not speak so loud?
I feel so bad for putting you through
Could you not speak so loud?
A purgatory, then a mortuary, then a funeral
Could you not speak so loud?
And was it necessary? No, is this any clearer? No
Could you not speak so-
Rather have that
Small talk, so cheap, don't speak
Early morning sickness when he came around
Play me on repeat, play me on repeat
Thought it was a good fit underneath his arm
Play me on repeat, play me on
Now you wanna give this a second thought
Neat like whiskey, beats like Whitney
I don't wanna hear this, just give him a call
Skin so fair, got a light, like, yeah
Or could you not, could you not bear to tell him?
Got a light right here, can I borrow it, yeah?
Okay, you better say it, go on and say it
Can I clear the air? I'm about to share
But could you not speak so loud?
You see, I'm not so mathematical, I'm not such a
Could you not speak so loud?
radical
Could you not speak so loud?
But I make it rad, then I made him sad
Could you not speak so loud?
'Cause I never had the same feel he had
Could you not speak so-
Oh, you mean the one he had when he said he had
that- I don't really have an explanation
I know you're probably mad at me and I totally get
Early morning sickness when he came around
that
Thought it was a good fit underneath his arm
I just wish you'd never met me
Now you wanna give this a second thought
(Never met me, never met me)
I don't wanna hear this, just give him a call
Or could you not, could you not bear to tell him? There's some things I feel like maybe you thought
Okay, you better say it, go on, and say it you knew about me
But you really don't
But could you not speak so loud?
Anyway, I'm sorry
Could you not speak so loud?
Maybe call me, maybe
Could you not speak so loud?
Could you not speak so loud? I don't really have an explanation
Could you not speak so- Maybe call me, maybe
Or could you not, could you not feel it too? Still got that
Feel me separate from you, golden girl, castaway, Early morning sickness when he came around
baby blue Thought it was a good fit underneath his arm
Drifting far from your island, further into the sunset Now you wanna give this a second thought
So far, off in the distance, further still 'til the rock hit I don't wanna hear this, just give him a call
Or could you not, could you not bear to tell him?
Never checked out the mileage, didn't map out the
Okay, you better say it, go on and say it
currents
Shipped it off to different continents, and am I making But could you not speak so loud?
sense? Could you not speak so loud?
No, I'm making stories, it's awful boring Could you not speak so loud?
To play it safe when you know your more than Could you not speak so loud?
Just a ship with an anchor, ball, and chain Could you not speak so loud?
I should thank you, the things that you made Could you not speak so loud?
Could you not speak so loud? So cold
Could you not speak so loud? So cold
So cold
Can we keep it on the down low? So cold
Still sharing a pillow, I'll be there when the cards fall

But could you not speak so loud? GOLDEN GATE GIRL


Could you not speak so loud?
I took a trip across the bay
Could you not speak so loud?
You said I could come out to see you
Could you not speak so loud? Thirty bucks at two a.m
Could you not speak so- I made my brother worry

I took some photos of your face


SO COLD I never wanted you to see them
'Cause it looked better in my head
Reasons to stay The Sun was up and you were back lit
Reasons to go
Three, four G-g-golden gate girl
Where do I begin? G-g-golden gate girl
Does it ever end?
Caught up in the headlights, frozen again And then we met in Sacramento
Can you make it obvious just the one time Then picked it back up in Ohio
Guess all the mystique only works in your prime You said take these the high is gentle
But I don't really think it worked though
Reasons to stay
Reasons to go
Said you just landed in New York
Used to have the answers, now it's just too close to
Everywhere else just can't compete
call
But a westside girl
What's left to say? I can't be your dog
Is what you'll always be to me
You know I'm always waiting on a (call)
(Waiting)
G-g-golden gate girl
It isn't like you to be so cold It's just another lesson learned
Pulling me in and letting me go I ride the wave into the Sun
It isn't like Scoop it up in my silver glove
It isn't like
It isn't like (you) Some people wanna change the world
(You) Some people wanna watch it burn
Say you might shake it off You take the road you want to take
Try a different road And you can meet me at the gate
Where does this one lead to? Nobody knows G-g-g-golden gate
Used to know you well, now I'm chasing a ghost Girl
Dancing with your skeleton's rattling bones Golden gate girl

Reasons to stay I took a trip across the bay


Reasons to go You said I could come out to see you
Another thirty answers, probably just enough to cope Thirty bucks at two a.m.
You're not impressed, I should've known I made my brother worry
She knows it's over, oh, it's 'bout to (blow)
It isn't like you to be so cold I made my brother worry
Pulling me in and letting me go I made my brother worry
It isn't like I made my brother worry
It isn't like I made my brother worry
It isn't like (you)
(You)
SIDEWAYS And when I'm driving, I'm really driving
I'm driving fast because I mean it, I really mean it
Tell me it's all in my head I think I'm done with all the speeches, way from the
'Cause I'm keeping to myself and you're looking at bleachers
me sideways Don't wanna hear 'em no more
Somethings are hard to forget Like, from the backseat
And I'd just put it to bed, yeah, that's if I had it my way
From the backseat, from the backseat, from the
But now it's coming back around again backseat (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Another story that you wrote me in From the backseat, from the backseat, from the
I wasn't looking for a way to win backseat (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I was just waiting for the plot to end You see it all so clear
Whatever happened to a fresh start You wanna take the wheel
Maybe civil is a lost art
'Cause now your looking at me sideways You stay with me
But you don't even like my company
Getting it off of your chest I'll give you another soul to squeeze
You've always been the one, the one to put me back While I keep my eyes on the road
in my place
So, take my picture, my picture, picture
And I could have settled for less
You told me I'm the one you wanted, you really
And we'd save a lot of time if you said it right to my
wanted
face
But you don't love me like I love you, I don't believe
you
But now it's coming back around again I take the keys and I'm gone
Another story that you wrote me in And when I'm driving, I'm really driving
I wasn't looking for a way to win I'm driving fast because I mean it, I really mean it
I was just waiting for the plot to end I think I'm done with all the speeches, way from the
Whatever happened to a fresh start bleachers
Maybe civil is a lost art Don't wanna hear 'em no more
'Cause now you're looking at me sideways Like, from the backseat

Tell me it's all in my head From the backseat, from the backseat, from the
Can we just put it to bed backseat
'Cause you're looking at me sideways (From the backseat)
Some things are hard to forget From the backseat, from the backseat, from the
'Cause you're looking at me sideways backseat
(Driving from the backseat)
From the backseat, from the backseat, from the
BACKSEAT backseat
(Driving from the backseat)
From the backseat From the backseat, from the backseat, from the
Watch it roll by slow backseat
Perfectly controlled (Driving from the backseat)
I'm on empty Whoo
And my bloodshot eyes
Are following the light
POLITIX
So, stay with me
I don't even like your company He's off again
I just wanted you to comfort me New blood is eating out his palm again
While I keep my eyes on the road Mixed up in metaphors and confidence
Reading the room is like a party trick
So, take my picture, my picture, picture
And then he's on his way out
You told me I'm the one you wanted, you really
Yeah, he's on his way out
wanted
But, you don't love me like I love you, I don't believe It's all pretend
you He makes a fuss and then he finds the next
I take the keys and I'm gone He pops a pill and takes the side effects
Talks in a circle 'til I'm two percent (yeah) So I'll be the one
And then he's on the way out I'll be the bad guy
And I'll make you believe it was easier for me
Am I wrong? To think that I could be the one But it ain't comin' cheap, oh
To think I might be onto something
I gave your words all the weight in the world So call it a crime or whatever you like
And now I don't know who to trust I still see your face in the dead of the night
I did my best to hear you out It's 4:25 and my head is a mess
And now I'm drowning in the doubt There's probably a lot that I need to address
I gave you every piece of my love
Oh, will it ever be enough? I don't think about it
I don't think about it
Oh, Mister On The Fence It's not that I lost all the love that we had
That's what they call him down in Oregon The less that I love, the better off that I am
The trust fund babies and the college kids
Gaslight the room and call it common sense (it's Run, rabbit, run
obvious) Somewhere it's greener
It's politix I'll finish up
I guess I never was supposed to win See you at Easter
My pretty little bones were never made for it Bein' polite
I could take a bite, I couldn't stomach it Oh, it's such a mouthful
I wish that I'd have known it before And it's all just fun, and it's all puppy love
Am I wrong? To think that I could be the one Until it's 5:00 and the sun is comin' up
To think I might be onto something So call it a crime or whatever you like
I gave your words all the weight in the world I still see your face in the dead of the night
And now I don't know who to trust It's 4:25 and my head is a mess
I did my best to hear you out There's probably a lot that I need to address
And now I'm drowning in the doubt
I gave you every piece of my love I don't think about it
Oh, will it ever be enough? I don't think about it
It's not that I lost all the love that we had
I gave you every word that I put on the page The less that I love, the better off that I am
I gave you every smile on a tired face
I gave you every dream I was dreaming about I don't think about it
You only gave me reasons to doubt myself (I don't think about it)
And even when it works, yeah, it's never enough (I don't think about it)
And even when it hurts, you say "toughen up" (I don't)
I bet you when it's good, you'll be there in the frame
As soon as you're gone, write a song about how
And when you see it crash, you'll be out of state
I just have to live with the way it went down
I can't play again, I never win The thought of your hands on another man
My cynicism is kicking in And probably sittin' down and brushin' off on his lap,
I can't be to blame, walls closing in uh
It's imminent, I'm over it
Can't think about it
There's somethin' about it
4:25 I could do without it
Damn near decided
I'll be the one
I'll pull the curtain Oh, fuck it, let me just ride out
I'll pull the plug It's not that I lost all the love that we had
I'll make it certain The less that I love, the better off that I am

Mm, mm
You felt a burn
Knots in your stomach
Sweepin' it un-
Under the carpet
ISOLATION Isolation
Isolation
Baby blue
Coloured room WDWERK
I don't feel love for you
But the thoughts consume Where the birds and the bees and the flowers grow
I don't know what it is There's a snake in the grass so we play in the snow
If the words would fit the page There's a sun in the sky beaming down on your head
Maybe that would ease the pain Put your hands to the side and you hope for the best
If my tongue could find the phrase
Would the thoughts evaporate? Ali made a score
Made a milli, wanted more
With your arms around my waist Bought a house in St. Tropez
And your breath against my face Heard a knock upon his door
On the other side I wait What did he ever really know?
It's a cold I can't explain What do we ever really know?

Qu'est-ce que c'est? A pretty girl, a teenage dream


It's a cold I can't explain Made a wife at seventeen
Qu'est-ce que c'est? Made a movie, made a scene
Qu'est-ce que c'est? And had a rude awakening
What did she ever really know?
Baby blue What did she ever really know?
Hold you
Are you even real What do we ever really know, my dear?
Or just a pain I feel If the world stopped spinning 'round again
I would do anything Then I don't care
If the globe is frozen by October
If it all became unglued Be my baby till it's over
If the time was almost through Used to listen for the call
I would give the rest to you Saying, you could have it all
I would give it all to you Try to be the number one
And then you question what it's for
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
I would give it all to you What do we ever really know?
Qu'est-ce que c'est? What do we ever really know?
Qu'est-ce que c'est? What do we ever really know, my dear?
If the world stopped spinning 'round again
Because I wouldn't survive isolation Then I no, no, no, no, I don't care
Qu'est-ce que c'est? If the globe is frozen by October
Qu'est-ce que c'est? B-b-be my baby, be my baby now
I wouldn't survive isolation
Qu'est-ce que c'est? All we ever know
Qu'est-ce que c'est? Is that we never know
Qu'est-ce que c'est? All we ever know
Qu'est-ce que c'est? Is that we never know
I would give, now I give it all
Every single day is a tidal wave, call it growing pains
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
Maybe I'm the worst
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
Maybe I'm okay
I wouldn't survive isolation
Just an animal, just an animal, just an ani-
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
Qu'est-ce que c'est? I don't even
Isolation

Qu'est-ce que c'est?


Qu'est-ce que c'est?
BUTTERFLY BOY It was faster than me
And it goes from a one to one hundred Then I said it loud
Getting out of it and spiraling all out of control I know it was true
And it's hard to let it go The secrets you keep
It comes with the territory I'll keep them, too
The vulnerability feels like an ocean You know that I do
So cold when you're making it down into the deep
Then it's ten thousand degrees I keep 'em for you
The memories made
And here it comes again They're too much to lose
And there's nothing you can do Well, I hope that you do
Because it's nothing that you did Remember them, too
Ooh, just let me catch my breath I hope that you do
I don't think what I heard was what you said I hope that you do
Maybe every time I let it cut so deep
It's waking up a part of me that I wanted to feel
Maybe it's part of the deal
Maybe this is something that'll hold me down
Or maybe it's a superpower, but it's for real
Is that a part of the deal?
Is that a part of the deal?
Is that a part of the deal?

And it's better to feel something than nothing


But the fragility is killing me with
Skin thinner than a butterfly
Mood swinging with the changing tides again

And there's nothing you can do


Because it's nothing that you did
Ooh, just let me catch my breath
I don't think what I heard was what you said

Maybe every time I let it cut so deep


It's waking up a part of me that I wanted to feel
Maybe it's part of the deal
Maybe this is something that'll hold me down
Or maybe it's a superpower, but it's for real
Is that a part of the deal?
Is that a part of the deal?
Is that a part of the deal?

Maybe it's part of the deal


I'll be there quietly
Oh, I want the best for you
You know that I do
Remember the time
We sat on the beach
Your head in your hands
