Cigarettes After Sex Complete Lyrics Archive

(by Fred Thomas)

Ambient pop collective Cigarettes After Sex grew out of an experimental sound project by songwriter Greg Gonzalez. The band's hushed, dreamy music earned a devoted international fan base in the mid-2010s with a combination of elegantly crafted singles, EPs, and viral YouTube videos, which led up to their 2017 eponymous debut. A second album, Cry, appeared in 2019, building on their success. After a collaborative EP credited to Gonzalez and Daniele Luppi (Charm of Pleasure), Cigarettes After Sex re-emerged in 2022 with the single "Pistol," with two more cuts, "Bubblegum" and "Stop Waiting," arrived in 2023.

The group was formed almost accidentally in 2008 while Gonzalez was living in El Paso, Texas. Then a student at University of Texas, he was experimenting with capturing the spacious sound of recording songs in a four-story stairwell at the university. These dreamy tunes would make up the first Cigarettes After Sex EP, I., which was released in 2012. After relocating to Brooklyn, Gonzalez continued work on the band, enlisting the help of a loose cast of collaborators including Phillip Tubbs, Randy Miller, Jacob Tomsky, Steve Herrada, Emily Davis, and Greg Leeah. Output from the collective appeared mostly in the form of singles, EPs, and immensely popular YouTube clips. One of their most notable tracks was a 2015 reworking of REO Speedwagon's power ballad "Keep on Loving You."

Following a swell of attention online, Cigarettes After Sex began to work on a full-length debut. The self-titled effort arrived in 2017, almost a decade after the band's inception. That year, the single "Apocalypse" was an indie hit in parts of Europe, landing on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart in the U.S. (number 16). One year later, they issued the single "Crush," a track they'd recorded during the same sessions as their debut. In October 2019, the group returned with their sophomore full-length, Cry. With a push from the single "Heavenly," the album charted across Europe, hitting number one in Portugal.

Gonzalez then teamed up with composer Daniele Luppi for the EP Charm of Pleasure, released on Monitor Pop/Slowplay/Verve in September 2022. Its gentle, symphonic atmospheres featured instruments like harp and mallet percussion in addition to synths and strings. Two months later, Cigarettes After Sex returned with "Pistol," their first new music in over two years. Two more stand-alone singles, "Bubblegum" and "Stop Waiting," appeared the following year.

The Night Train

Used to be around
Lost and found
Thinking it's good
That's the way it should
Standing in the rain
Waiting for the train
'Cause I miss you, honey
Baby, I do, I do

Can't take it anymore
Going next door
Gonna find out
What it's all about
I'm standing in the rain
Waiting for the train
'Cause I miss you, honey
Baby, I do, I do

And I want you, I want you
Kept out, baby, on the night train
I want you, I want you
Kept out, baby, on the night train
Well, I want you, I want you
And I'm kept out, baby, on the night train
I want you, I want you
And I'm kept out, baby

No, it's not all right
When you're out of sight
Feeling so slow
Letting you go
'Cause I need your helping hand
Oh I need it bad
'Cause I miss you, honey
Baby, I do, I do

And I want you, I want you
Kept out, baby, on the night train
I want you, I want you
Kept out, baby, on the night train
Well, I want you, I want you
Kept out, baby, on the night train
I want you, I want you
Kept out, baby
On the night train

And I'm not gonna go back home
And I'm not gonna go back home
And I'm not gonna go back home
Gonna go back home

'Cause I want you, I want you
And I'm kept out, baby, on the night train
I want you, I want you
Kept out, baby, on the night train
Well, I want you, I want you
And I'm kept out, baby, on the night train
I want you, I want you
Kept out, baby
On the night train

You

Feels like walking dead
Nothing's wrong
I just can't go on
You think everything
Falls in place easily

It's you who make it easy
'Cause you love me
You who make it easy
'Cause you love me

There isn't any words
To convey everything I feel
I think you were the one
Brought me here holding on

It's you who make it easy
'Cause you love me
You who make it easy
'Cause you love me

Every whisper says good night
Oh when you tell me I was right
I'm ready to find you

It's you who make it easy
'Cause you love me
You who make it easy
'Cause you love me

Oh when you tell me I was right, oh now
I'm ready to go and I'm ready to show you how I feel
I'm here and I was listening
Something's wrong
I know you want me back, but you were missing
You weren't mine

It's you who make it easy
'Cause you love me
You who make it easy
'Cause you love me

You who
You who

Woman With A Crow (The Last Train)

Woman with a crow
Hides a sleeping potion in her eyes
I'm feeling low
Feeling frustrated, never know
Now that you're gone, I'll leave a note

Woman with a crow
Hides a sleeping potion in her eyes
I'm feeling low
Feeling frustrated, never know
Now that you're gone, I'll leave a note

Next time I'll try to kiss you
I'll fall asleep on the last train
I'll fall asleep on the last train
And I'll always, always, always love you

Woman with a crow
Hides a sleeping potion in her eyes
I'm feeling low
Feeling frustrated, never know
Now that you're gone, I'll leave a note

You would always, always, always love me

This time you tried to kiss me
I fell asleep on the last train
I fell asleep on the last train

Sing

Sing
Take me on the wing
I could be forever
Scattered through the wind
Feels like a sin
Feels like a call into the forest
Living like a bird

Flying through the air
I don't feel anymore
Coming through
Forces on the light
And I know that
Come and laugh
When you said
I get away

I'm falling through
Every single word
Is another river
Taking off her clothes
Taking off her dress
Now it's all white
And the yellow sun
Is feeling like a bite

I don't care anymore
I don't see it again
When you follow me left
Into the lens with the camera now
I don't feel coming back again
I don't feel a floor

Feels a little strange

Lay Here

Stoned like I lay here, lay here, lay here
Stoned like I lay here, lay here, lay here alone

Stoned like I lay here, lay here, lay here
Stoned like I lay here, lay here, lay here alone

When you were on the ground

Stoned like I lay here, lay here, lay here
Stoned like I lay here, lay here, lay here alone

When you were on the ground

And it's driving me crazy
And it's driving me crazy
And it's driving me crazy
And it's driving me crazy
And it's driving me crazy
And it's driving me crazy
And it's driving me crazy
And it's driving me crazy

Stoned like I lay here, lay here, lay here
Stoned like I lay here, lay here, lay here alone

When you were on the ground
When you were on the ground
When you were on the ground
When you were on the ground
When you were on the ground

Every Light Is Out

As I walk down your street
I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming
As I walk down your street
I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming

Every, every, every light is out
Every, every, every light is out

As I walk down your street
I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming
As I walk down your street
I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming

Every, every, every light is out
Every, every, every light is out

Every, every, every light is out
Every, every, every light is out

As I walk down your street
Every, every, every light is out
As I walk down your street
Every, every, every light is out
As I walk down your street
Every, every, every light is out
I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming
As I walk down your street
Every, every, every light is out
I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming

I Can't Stop These Tears From Falling

I used to go out at night
I used to go out each day
I used to go out and feel
The sun on the silent day
So it's coming as quite a shock
A heart could come so undone
The strings could unravel fast
How quickly the war is won

And I can't stop these tears from falling right away
I know you're calling
I can't stop these tears from falling now
And I can't stop these tears from falling right away
I know you're calling
I can't stop these tears from falling now

If I was the thinking heart
And you were the loving soul
With all of my feelings sharp
You came crashing in my world
A music of cathedrals
Bouncing along the glass
It's echoing through my ears
You took it away so fast

And I can't stop these tears from falling right away
I know you're calling
I can't stop these tears from falling now
And I can't stop these tears from falling right away
I know you're calling
I can't stop these tears from falling now

Oh well, the lights are low
And I don't need a friend
To call my own
'Cause I know it's the end
It's the end
It's the end
It's the end

And I can't stop these tears from falling
And I can't stop these tears from falling
I can't stop these tears from falling
And I can't stop these tears from falling

I can't stop these, I can't stop these
I can't stop these tears from falling
I can't stop these, I can't stop these
I can't stop these tears from falling
I can't stop these, I can't stop these
I can't stop these tears from falling
I can't stop these, I can't stop these
I can't stop these tears from falling

Run Towards Your Fears

Here, right here
When it's too much for me to take
They can't see straight
When it's too much for you to take

You're the only one
You're the only one
I'm the only one

You're dressed in black
And following the purple string
So run towards your fears
When it's too much for you to take

You're the only one
You're the only one
You're the only one
I'm the only one

I can't believe the way you breathe
On the mirror leaves often marks
I draw your name inside the cloud
You laugh, so what begins

You're the only one
You're the only one
You're the only one
I'm the only one
I'm the only one

Do You Know Where I Should Go

Do you know where I should go
Feels like death
Do you know where I should go
Feels like death

Memory, memory, memory

Do you know where I should go
Feels like death

Do you know where I should go
Feels like death
Do you know where I should go
Feels like death

Memory, memory, memory

Do you know where I should go
Feels like death

CIGARETTES AFTER SEX

K.

I remember when I first noticed that you liked me back
We were sitting down in a restaurant waiting for the check
We had made love earlier that day with no strings attached
But I could tell that something had changed how you looked at me then

Kristen, come right back
I've been waiting for you to slip back in bed
When you light the candle

And on the Lower East Side you're dancing with me now
And I'm taking pictures of you with flowers on the wall
Think I like you best when you're dressed in black from head to toe
Think I like you best when you're just with me and no one else

Kristen, come right back
I've been waiting for you to slip back in bed
When you light the candle

And I'm kissing you lying in my room
Holding you until you fall asleep
And it's just as good as I knew it would be
Stay with me
I don't want you to leave

Kristen, come right back
I've been waiting for you to slip back in bed
When you light the candle

Each Time You Fall In Love

Each time you fall in love, it's clearly not enough
You sleep all day and drive out in L.A.
It isn't safe

And each time you kiss a girl, you never know what it's worth
You say all of the words they wanna hear
It isn't real

She took you for a ride in summer baby
Lost all your money to her
All I wanna know is if you love her, how come you never give in

Each time you have a dream you never know what it means
You see that open road and never know which way to go

And each time you fall in love, it's clearly not enough
You sleep all day and drive out in L.A.
It isn't safe

She took you for a ride in summer baby
Lost all your money to her
All I wanna know is if you love her, how come you never give in

Sunsetz

Sunsets
We wander through a foreign town
Strangely there's nobody else around
So you open your dress and show me your tits
On the swing set at the old playground

And when you go away, I still see you
With sunlight on your face in my rear-view

Sunsets
I wanna hear your voice
A love that nobody could destroy
Took photographs like Brautigan's book covers that we both adored

And when you go away, I still see you
With sunlight on your face in my rear-view

This always happens to me this way
Recurring visions of such sweet days

And when you go away, I still see you
With sunlight on your face in my rear-view

When you go away I still see you
With sunlight on your face in my rear-view

Apocalypse

You leapt from crumbling bridges watching cityscapes turn to dust
Filming helicopters crashing in the ocean from way above

Got the music in you baby
Tell me why
Got the music in you baby
Tell me why
You've been locked in here forever and you just can't say goodbye

Kisses on the foreheads of the lovers wrapped in your arms
You've been hiding them in hollowed out pianos left in the dark

Got the music in you baby
Tell me why
Got the music in you baby
Tell me why
You've been locked in here forever and you just can't say goodbye

Your lips
My lips
Apocalypse
Your lips
My lips
Apocalypse

Go and sneak us through the rivers
Flood is rising up on your knees
Oh please
Come out and haunt me
I know you want me
Come out and haunt me

Sharing all your secrets with each other since you were kids
Sleeping soundly with the locket that she gave you clutched in your fist

Got the music in you baby
Tell me why
Got the music in you baby
Tell me why
You've been locked in here forever and you just can't say goodbye

When you're all alone
I will reach for you
When you're feeling low
I will be there too

Flash

I'm a flash
You were blinded by the love I had
I'm a flash
The light could only get in through the cracks

And you've got to do the right thing
Do the right thing, baby
You're the white swan in my photograph
Do the right thing, do the right thing, baby
You're the white swan in my photograph

When they crashed the helicopters in my heart, it ripped
Cut in half, you saw me lying there bleeding to death

And you had to do the right thing
Do the right thing, baby
You're the white swan in my photograph
Do the right thing, do the right thing, baby
You're the white swan in my photograph

Now I stand on the stage
I forget my lines to your play, "Satan's Imagination"
And a voice in my head's causing suicide, searching for any way to remember them

And you've got to do the right thing
Do the right thing, baby
You're the white swan in my photograph
Do the right thing, do the right thing, baby
You're the white swan in my photograph

Sweet

Watching the video that you sent me
The one where you're showering with wet hair dripping
You know that I'm obsessed with your body
But it's the way you smile that does it for me

It's so sweet knowing that you love me
Though we don't need to say it to each other
Sweet knowing that I love you and running my fingers through your hair
It's so sweet

Watching the video where you're lying in your red lingerie ten times nightly
You know I think your skin's the perfect color
But it's always your eyes that pull me under

It's so sweet knowing that you love me
Though we don't need to say it to each other
Sweet knowing that I love you and running my fingers through your hair
It's so sweet

And I would gladly break it
I would gladly break my heart for you
And I would gladly break it
I would gladly break my heart for you
And I would gladly break it
I would gladly break my heart for you
And I would gladly break it
I would gladly break my heart for you

It's so sweet knowing that you love me
Though we don't need to say it to each other
Sweet knowing that I love you and running my fingers through your hair
It's so sweet

Opera House

Built an opera house for you in the deepest jungle
And I walked across its stage singing with my eyes closed

I've got a love for you I just can't escape
All of my love for you cuts me like barbed wire

I was meant to love you and always keep you in my life
I was meant to love you
I knew I loved you at first sight

If I abandoned love, I'd be a man without dreams
I'd rather be out there staring death right between its eyes now

And I can still hear the sound of you crying through the night
There in the opera house with no one else for miles

I was meant to love you and always keep you in my life
I was meant to love you
I knew I loved you at first sight

I was meant to love you and always keep you in my life
I was meant to love you
I knew I loved you at first sight

Truly

Sitting out smoking in the garden of the apartment
I reached in to grab your hand and kissed it when you weren't looking

You're on the sheets like it's a dirty magazine
And I like the way you say exactly what you mean

Truly
Know that you really don't need to be in love to make love to me

Said you wear a new perfume for each city that you visit
So you can always remember how it felt to be there

And your lips were red in all the pictures that you sent
Wearing white or black
All leading up to when we met

Truly
Know that you really don't need to be in love to make love to me
Truly
Know that you really don't need to be in love to make love to me

John Wayne

He's got so much love for her
But he doesn't know what to do
Sitting in the car waiting outside her school
He's in for a heartbreak if it's all been blind faith from my point of view

Baby, he's got to be crazy
Living like he's John Wayne
Always facing the world or chasing the girl
Baby, he's got to be crazy

He's got so much in his heart
But he doesn't know what to do
All he wants is her lying inside his room
He's always feeling cheated, telling all his secrets that I couldn't keep

Baby, he's got to be crazy
Living like he's John Wayne
Always facing the world or chasing the girl
Baby, he's got to be crazy

Baby, he's got to be crazy
Living like he's John Wayne
Always facing the world or chasing the girl
Baby, he's got to be crazy

Young & Dumb

Wearing black lipstick, bleaching your hair blonde
Put on your socks, cut-offs or jean shorts, vampire fangs and your "I Love New York" shirt

Well, I know full well that you are the patron saint of sucking cock
Señorita, you're a cheater
Well, so am I

You wanna go where the girls are young and dumb and hot as fuck
Where they're dancing in the streets with nothing on

We'll drive your car to the beach with the song on repeat you showed me
We'll drive your car to the beach with the song on repeat, oh baby

My heart is racing watching you kissing on my guitar
Faking a tear drop by spraying my eye with that water gun

Well, I know full well that you are the patron saint of sucking cock
Señorita, you're a cheater
Well, so am I

We wanna go where the girls are young and dumb and hot as fuck
Where they're dancing in the streets with nothing on

We'll drive your car to the beach with the song on repeat you showed me
We'll drive your car to the beach with the song on repeat, oh baby

CRY

Don't Let Me Go

When I was young I thought the world of you
You were all that I wanted then
It faded and I never saw you again
But I won't forget the love we had

Come to me now
Don't let me go
Stay by my side

Don't let me go
Stay with me still
I've missed you so

When I was young I thought the world of you
I was dumb to let you drift away
And though I guess it had to come to an end
No one else could have the love we shared

Come to me now
Don't let me go
Stay by my side

Don't let me go
Stay with me still
I've missed you so

Kiss It Off Me

Saw you on the side of the road
I could see you were walking slow, drinking a Slurpee
In a peach baseball cap, falling in my lap
You were so thirsty

Could you love me instead of all the boyfriends you get
Know I'd make you forget about all of those rich fuckboys

Kiss it off me
If you're gonna break my heart this is a good start
Kiss it off me

You always bite your lip when you're feeling it, as we move slowly
And your peach baseball cap is tossed under the rack of clothes
And your jewelry

And you beg for it in the morning again before you go to the gym
Said it's a bad habit you just can't quit

Kiss it off me
If you're gonna break my heart this is a good start
Kiss it off me

Kiss it off me
If you're gonna break my heart this is a good start
Kiss it off me
If you're gonna break my heart this is a good start
Kiss it off me

Heavenly

Wanting your love to come into me
Feeling it slow, over this dream
Touch me with a kiss, touch me with a kiss

Now you're above feeling it still
Tell me it's love, tell me it's real
Touch me with a kiss, feel me on your lips

'Cause this is where I want to be
Where it's so sweet and heavenly

I'm giving you all my, giving you all my, giving you all my love
Giving you all my, giving you all my, giving you all my love
All my love

Needing you now to come into me
Feeling it slow, over this dream
Touch me with a kiss, feel me on your lips

When you're above feeling it still
Tell me it's love, tell me it's real
Touch me with a kiss, touch me with a kiss

'Cause this is where I want to be
Where it's so sweet and heavenly

I'm giving you all my, giving you all my, giving you all my love
Giving you all my, giving you all my, giving you all my love
All my love

And when you're far away I still feel it all
And when you're far away I still feel it all the same
And when you're far away, far away

You're The Only Good Thing In My Life

You only fuck for love
Told me you could never get enough
Posing as a Playboy centerfold
You could be my Penthouse Pet, I know

You make me think of storms on the beaches
With all the lights off

Everything is wrong, but it's alright
Everything is wrong, but it's alright
You're the only good thing in my life

Do what your heart desires
Love is always strange when it just starts
Shouldn't have a care left in the world
Naked, tanning by the swimming pool

You make me think of storms on the beaches
With all the lights off

Everything is wrong, but it's alright
Everything is wrong, but it's alright
You're the only good thing in my life

Laying in the sun
Never need to tell me when you come
'Cause you know that I can just feel it

Touch

I missed you and I cried, but I said that I was alright
And I know it's been a while since I needed a distraction

'Cause I want to do everything that you want me to
To tell you the truth

I need to stay alive, so sad that I could die

It's leading me on, every time we touch
Leading me on, every time it hurts
Feeling so lonely 'cause it's not enough
Missing you only ever since we fell in love

And I watched you do a line that you spread out on the table
I don't need to see you wired, I just want to see you upside down

I want to do everything that you want me to
To tell you the truth

I listened to you cry all night through the telephone

It's leading me on, every time we touch
Leading me on, every time it hurts
Feeling so lonely 'cause it's not enough
Missing you only ever since we fell in love

Couldn't say you didn't want me then when we were lying in my bed that night
You were acting like a different person as if suddenly you wanted to just be friends
I was hurt and so I took a shower, so you couldn't hear me, knowing I had to cry
Sad to know that while my heart was breaking you were sleeping or just faking

It's leading me on, every time we touch
Leading me on, every time it hurts
Feeling so lonely 'cause it's not enough
Missing you only ever since we fell in love

Hentai

There was a hentai video that I saw
I told you about the night that we first made love
About a girl, who as soon as she made you come
Could show you the future and tell you your fortune

Beautiful hearts are in your eyes
I've been waiting for you to fall for me and let me in your life
I've been waiting for you

Told you I wanted to die in an airplane crash over the ocean
That it was romantic, but you didn't like it
Thought it was stupid and thinking of me dead was making you feel bad

Beautiful hearts are in your eyes
I've been waiting for you to fall for me and let me in your life
I've been waiting for you

Beautiful hearts are in your eyes
I've been waiting for you to fall for me and let me in your life
I've been waiting for you

Cry

It's making you cry every time you give your love to me this way
Saying you'd wait for me to stay, I know it hurts you

But I need to tell you something
My heart just can't be faithful for long
I swear I'll only make you cry

Maybe I'd change for you someday, but I can't help the way I feel
Wish I was good, wish that I could give you my love now

But I need to tell you something
My heart just can't be faithful for long
I swear I'll only make you cry

I need to tell you something
My heart just can't be faithful for long
I swear I'll only make you cry

Falling In Love

When I hold you close to me
I could always see a house by the ocean
And last night I could hear the waves
As I heard you say, "All that I want is to be yours"

Falling in love
Falling in love
Deeper than I've felt it before with you, baby
I feel I'm falling in love with all my heart

Back when you were far away
We would go on dates to watch the same movie
And you were imagining sitting next to me
And holding my hand for the whole thing

Falling in love
Falling in love
Deeper than I've felt it before with you, baby
I feel I'm falling in love with all my heart

Falling in love
Falling in love
Deeper than I've felt it before with you, baby
I feel I'm falling in love with all my heart

Pure

When you walk in the room in a white bodysuit
And I say, "Take it off", so you tell me to watch

When it's pure, only your love could get me to fall
When it's deep, gets so hot and it's so beautiful

And the TV is on when we make love
Because we get carried away
We don't care anyway

When it's pure, only your love could get me to fall
When it's deep, gets so hot and it's so beautiful

Wrapped your hair in a towel, but I watch you let it down
And it's all soaking wet as you take me in your mouth

And we stare at the street from the back balcony
But now all I can see is you undressing for me

When it's pure, only your love could get me to fall
When it's deep, gets so hot and it's so beautiful

X'S

X's

Do it with the lips that you kept when I finally kissed you
When every single light in the Hills and the Valley went blue
Make love as soft as cinnamon
Know when to take and when to give
Running out of bed in your leopard print to unlock the door

Sleeping on your fingertips, dreaming with a filthy heart
Deep within a threesome-kiss, sweet how the words slip
Honest with the love you give, careless with the way you talk
Say you want it just like this, sweet how the words slip

Do it with the lips that you kept when I said I was yours
With X's on the prints, they're of Marilyn by Bert Stern
Lit candles, pink and yellow cake, let's get fucked up and celebrate
Rolling out of bed in your tangled hair to put some clothes on

Sleeping on your fingertips, dreaming with a filthy heart
Deep within a threesome-kiss, sweet how the words slip
Honest with the love you give, careless with the way you talk
Say you want it just like this, sweet how the words slip
Sweet how the words slip
Sweet how the words slip

Tejano Blue

We wanted to fuck with real love
Wanted it sweet, so pure and warm
Never only sleeping over
We wanted to fuck like all the time
And when you got back from your flight
It was the first thing we did

And when you say you want it all
I know you want it all
Baby, take it all from me
And when you drag me on the floor
And the blue tejano's on
You keep your eyes on me

So get in the waves, swim in your leather
I always will make it feel like you were the last one
So get in the waves like it was the first time
Bless your heart, make you part of my life forever

In shorts so high waist
The girl in the arcade said
They were the shortest ever
And the rest like "Holiday"
The live one where she sang
Dancing in a polka-dot top

And when you say you want it all
I know you want it all
Baby, take it all from me
And when you drag me on the floor
And the blue tejano's on
You keep your eyes on me

So get in the waves, swim in your leather
I always will make it feel like you were the last one
So get in the waves like it was the first time
Bless your heart, make you part of my life forever

Get in the waves, swim in your leather
I always will make it feel like you were the last one
So get in the waves like it was the first time
Bless your heart, make you part of my life forever
And always
And always

Silver Sable

Silver Sable style
Back in a Marvel Swimsuit Special from the early nineties
Page eleven, the second edition, with that look on her face

Right now it's only the light from the closet
And the radio's just playing soft hits
Need that atmosphere
I need that sweet life with its decadent ways

Stay with me now, I don't wanna be lonely
Know how you feel by the way that you hold me
And when we kiss
We don't need to close our eyes in the dark at all

Silver Sable style
The way you watch me, sipping from your straw in 34D
Whispering the words "vanilla creme pie"
To see the look on my face

And still it's only the light from the closet
While "Number Of The Beast" is on your walkman
And page eleven's gone
See that it's ripped out and hanging up on your wall

Stay with me now, I don't wanna be lonely
Know how you feel by the way that you hold me
And when we kiss
We don't need to close our eyes in the dark at all

Stay with me now, I don't wanna be lonely
Know how you feel by the way that you hold me
And when we kiss
We don't need to close our eyes in the dark at all
Eyes in the dark at all
Eyes in the dark at all

Hideaway

Come on, baby
We'll make it alright
Bring your speaker and a bottle of white
We'll go walking in Marina like last time
To the beaches that nobody else likes
Alright

And you'll put your arms around me
Take me back into that hideaway
Hideaway, hideaway, hideaway
And you'll give your love into me
Take me back into that hideaway
Hideaway, hideaway, hideaway, hideaway
Hi-hideaway, hi-hideaway

Now the sun's out, we're feeling its sweet light
Waves are crashing, they're flying those long kites
And I can see it, I can see where our lives go
See us sailing across so many oceans
Oh yeah

And you'll put your arms around me
Take me back into that hideaway
Hideaway, hideaway, hideaway
And you'll give your love into me
Take me back into that hideaway
Hideaway, hideaway, hideaway, hideaway
Hi-hideaway, hi-hideaway

Holding You, Holding Me

When your love is slow, hits me and I'm fading
In backyard waterfalls at night when it's raining

Holding you, holding me
Kissing forever, we'll fall together
Holding you, holding me
Kissing, you're all I tasted

When it gets hot, the breeze is hitting slowly
And I get high on every word you told me

Holding you, holding me
Kissing forever, we'll fall together
Holding you, holding me
Kissing, you're all I tasted

Give me just a little more, just a little more, just a little more to calm me
Give me just a little more, just a little more, just a little more to calm me

Your love is slow, hits me and I'm fading
In waterfalls at night when it's raining

Holding you, holding me
Kissing forever, we'll fall together
Holding you, holding me
Kissing forever, we'll fall together
Holding you, holding me
Kissing forever, we'll fall together
Holding you, holding me
Kissing, you're all I tasted
You're all I tasted

Dark Vacay

In summer, I'm living on pills and lines
With someone I love, I don't really like
Been sleeping on the tile and keeping out the light
Then sipping Château Lafitte Rothschild

So come on, come on, dark star, been loving you and I
Can't get enough, dark star, we don't need Brazzers
Feel the world around you, feel the world surround you
Feel the world around you, feel it all around you crash

With summertime liquor at five o'clock
Been drinking too heavy on Adderall
I listen to the last message that you left
Then the voice from the suicide hotline

So come on, come on, dark star, been loving you and I
Can't get enough, dark star, we don't need Brazzers
Feel the world around you, feel the world surround you
Feel the world around you, feel it all around you crash

Feel the world around you, feel the world surround you
Feel the world around you, feel it all around you
Crash and fall
Crash and fall
Crash and fall

Hot

And the summer begins with the taste of your lips
When it's getting hot inside you
Think you'd burn through your dress if you kissed me again
And it's getting hot inside

Is it all in my head
'Cause I keep getting scared
That I'll always be lost forever
But I don't give a shit if I'm too delicate
When you hold me it's always better

Now your lips start to taste of pink lemonade
As I jump off the roof into your pool
Laugh and run from the heat 'cause it's burning your feet
And it's getting hot inside

Is it all in my head
'Cause I keep getting scared
That I'll always be lost forever
But I don't give a shit if I'm too delicate
When you hold me it's always better

Is it all in my head
'Cause I keep getting scared
That I'll always be lost forever
But I don't give a shit if I'm too delicate
When you hold me it's always better

And is it all in my head
'Cause I keep getting scared
That I'll always be lost forever
But I don't give a shit if I'm too delicate
When you hold me it's always better, better, yeah

Dreams From Bunker Hill

Baby, it's been a while since I've just seen you smile
You know it's not how it's supposed to be
You're staying up every night smoking those Camel lights
And drinking on antihistamines

Do you wanna make it forever
Do you wanna be my only one
'Cause now I really miss the way it was
When everything was beautiful with us

I think of us moving into our place at Bunker Hill
We felt so happy there
The time we went for a walk to get wine and candy bars
And it started to rain

Do you wanna make it forever
Do you wanna be my only one
'Cause now I really miss the way it was
When everything was beautiful with us

Do you wanna make it forever
Do you want me to stay right here
Do you wanna make it forever
If you want, I would stay right here

Do you wanna make it forever
Do you wanna be my only one
Do you wanna make it forever

Ambien Slide

Said you couldn't sleep
To know I'd been with someone else
Takes drugs to shut it out
And that's how you'll get over it

Take my love with zolpidem
You said you couldn't help it
Had everything that you wanted
When my love was only yours
But now you're feeling helpless
Giving in to your ambien slide

And it seems that you'll never feel that good again
If time doesn't heal, you'll never feel that good again

Take my love with zolpidem
You said you couldn't help it
Had everything that you wanted
When my love was only yours
But now you're feeling helpless
Giving in to your ambien slide

Take my love with zolpidem
You said you couldn't help it
Had everything that you wanted
When my love was only yours
And now you're feeling helpless
Giving in to your ambien slide
Oh when you slide this way
Oh when you slide this way
Oh when you slide this way
Slide this way
Oh when you slide this way
Oh when you slide this way
Oh when you slide

NON ALBUMS TRACKS

Affection

(Affection EP)

I know that you say I get mean when I'm drinking
But, then again, sometimes I get really sweet
So what does it mean if I tell you to go fuck yourself
Or if I say that you're beautiful to me

It's affection always
You're gonna see it someday
My attention for you
Even if it's not what you need

Sometimes we talk all night long, we don't shut up
And when it's late, we'll say we're still wide awake so
We love to talk about how you'll come up to visit me
And we'll rent a car and we'll drive upstate

It's affection always
You're gonna see it someday
My attention's on you
Even if it's not what you need

I think of you
I want you too
I'd fall for you
I think of you
I want you too
I'd fall for you
I think of you
I want you too
I'd fall for you
I think of you
I want you too
I'd fall for you

It's affection always
It's affection always

Bubblegum

Licking the barrel of a gun
Chewing it like it's bubblegum
Wave it like a magic wand
Pop a few rounds off just for fun

Go to the strip club all alone, thinking that I could take you home
To picture you with those other guys is driving me crazy all the time

Well, I never wanted to be with you
But I think I'm falling, so what can I do
You'll just lead me on till I'm drowning in tears

And you're holding me
And you're holding me
And you're holding me as if I was the last man standing on earth

Well, I never wanted to be with you
But I think I'm falling, so what can I do
You'll just lead me on till I'm drowning in tears

Crush

(Crush EP)

I wanna line my walls with photographs you sent
Of you lying in your swimsuit on the bed
Can't live without your love inside me now
I'll find a way to slip into your skin somehow

I wanna fuck your love slow
Catch my heart, go swim
Feel your lips crush
Hold you here my loveliest friend

I love to watch you when you're trying on your clothes
And now you're all I think about when I'm alone
Can't wait to feel your love inside me now
We'll have a drink or two and we'll go to your house

I wanna fuck your love slow
Catch my heart, go swim
Feel your lips crush
Hold you here my loveliest friend

I wanna fuck your love slow
Catch my heart, go swim
Feel your lips crush
Hold you here my loveliest friend

Catch my heart, go swim
Feel your lips crush
Hold you here my loveliest friend

Dreaming Of You

(I. EP)

Seen you from afar
Wondered who you are
Wondered what you're like
Think you're just my type

And now I'm dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of you
And now I'm dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of you

Want you, yes, I do
Bet you never knew it
Think you'd suit me fine
Want you all the time

And now I'm dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of you
And now I'm dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of you

You're the one I'm calling on
You're the one who's calling me to have it
You're the one I'm calling on
You're the one who's calling me to have it
You're the one I'm calling on
You're the one who's calling me to have it
You're the one I'm calling on
You're the one who's calling me to have it

Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of you
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of you
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of you
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of you

I'm A Firefighter

(I. EP)

Baby, I'm a firefighter trapped in a burning house in a silent picture
And there is no way out except to watch the love between us die

That's called the Falling Angel
It's an amusement park ride
Some sort of rollercoaster
It takes you up and when it brings you down it gives you butterflies

And now I'm longing for your kiss
Bet you could read it on my lips

Waterfalls, I'm jumping down

I know you're leaving, baby
The birds are flying south
And there's nothing to say
I need you here
I need your love inside of mine like I could die
I need your love inside of mine like I could die

Keep On Loving You

(Affection EP)

You should've seen by the look in my eyes
That there was something missing
You should've known by the tone of my voice
But you didn't listen
You play dead, but you never bled
Instead you lie still in the grass all coiled up and hissing

And I know all about those men
Still I don't remember
Because it was us, baby, way before them
And we're still together
And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you, I meant that I love you forever

And I'm gonna keep on loving you
'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on loving you

And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you, I meant that I loved you forever

And I'm gonna keep on loving you
'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on loving you

I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on loving you

Motion Picture Soundtrack

(Radiohead cover)

Red wine and sleeping pills
Help me get back to your arms
Cheap sex and sad films
Help me get where I belong

I think you're crazy, baby
I think you're crazy, baby

Stop sending letters
Letters always get burned
It's not like the movies
They fed us on little white lies

I think you're crazy, baby
I think you're crazy, baby

I will see you in the next life

I think you're crazy, baby
I think you're crazy, baby
I think you're crazy, baby
I think you're crazy, baby

Neon Moon

When the sun goes down on my side of town
That lonesome feeling comes to my door and the whole world turns blue

There's a rundown bar across the railroad tracks
Got a table for two way in the back
Where I sit alone and think of you

I spend most every night beneath the light of a neon moon

If you lose your one and only
There's always room here for the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams of a neon moon

I think of two young lovers running wild and free
Close my eyes and sometimes see you
In the shadows of this smoke-filled room
No telling how many tears I've sat here and cried
Or how many lies that I've lied
Telling my poor heart you'll come back one day

I spend most every night beneath the light of a neon moon

If you lose your one and only
There's always room here for the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams of a neon moon

But I'll be alright as long as there's light from a neon moon
And I'll be alright as long as there's light from a neon moon

Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby

(I. EP)

Whispered something in your ear
It was a perverted thing to say
But I said it anyway
Made you smile and look away

Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby
As long as you're with me, you'll be just fine
Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby
Nothing's gonna take you from my side

When we dance in my living room
To that silly nineties R&B
When we have a drink or three
Always ends in a hazy shower scene

Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby
As long as you're with me, you'll be just fine
Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby
Nothing's gonna take you from my side

When we're laughing in the microphone and singing
With our sunglasses on to our favorite songs
When we're laughing in the microphone and singing
With our sunglasses on to our favorite songs

Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby
Nothing's gonna take you from my side

Pistol

Give me the pistol, aim it high
I'm out in the desert shooting at the sky
Guess I really miss you and I don't know what else to do

Beautiful pictures that you took of us
Used to hang up there on your bedroom walls
But you took them all down now and you put them into a drawer

You've been on my mind
You've been on my mind
You've been on my mind so long I can't deal with it

You've been on my mind
And I'll waste my time till you lift me off the floor and love me again

I know if I saw you and we kissed just once
You could be happy, maybe you'd come back
'Cause I really miss you, don't know how much more I can take

You've been on my mind
You've been on my mind
You've been on my mind so long I can't deal with it

You've been on my mind
And I'll waste my time till you lift me off the floor and love me again

Oh yeah
Till you lift me off the floor and love me again
Oh yeah

Sesame Syrup

(Crush EP)

Staring at your Kate Moss shower curtain
Lying on the bathroom floor naked
Hiding coke inside all your orange pixie sticks
You take a rail and spread it on your tit

You've had a long list of lovers
But none of them matter to you except me
I've had a long list of lovers
But none of them matter to me except you

Sesame syrup
I heard it a long time ago
Sesame syrup
I heard it a long time ago

There's a small black notebook
That you keep hidden underneath your bed I've seen before
It says every dirty thing that you did with every single boy
You've ever been with

You've had a long list of lovers
But none of them matter to you except me
I've had a long list of lovers
But none of them matter to me except you

Sesame syrup
I heard it a long time ago
Sesame syrup
I heard it a long time ago

And we fall asleep to the scent, asleep to the scent of long stemmed roses
Always dreaming of sex, dreaming of sex on the ceiling
And we sleep to the scent, sleep to the scent of long stemmed roses
Always dreaming of sex, dreaming of sex on the ceiling

Sesame syrup
I heard it a long time ago
Sesame syrup
I heard it a long time ago

Starry Eyes

(I. EP)

Starry eyes
How can I get to you, my true little
Starry eyes
What can I say or do for you, my little
Starry eyes
Starry eyes forever shall be mine

Starry eyes
What can I say to make you listen
Starry eyes
What can I do for your attention
Starry eyes
Starry eyes forever shall be mine

When I'm alone, I hear and feel you
Wish that I could reach right out and touch you
But knowing you're the one to greet me and meet me
Two alone in the dark may it be

Starry eyes
The sparks will fall on me
Starry eyes
Won't you listen that I'm here being
For you, starry eyes
Starry eyes forever shall be mine
Starry eyes forever shall be mine

Stop Waiting

In her favorite locket, hiding yellow pills
With white wine to chase them, lying on the hills
We kissed until we couldn't breathe
The coldest sand is on the beach

Now she's in her swimsuit with the yellow straps
Cutting it with scissors till there's nothing left
And rubbing sunscreen on her breasts, she's putting on her sunglasses

I could win
I could lose
But that's a look I can't refuse
I could win
I could lose
But that's a look I can't refuse

Stop waiting

I could win
I could lose
But that's a look I can't refuse
I could win
I could lose
But that's a look I can't refuse

Stop waiting

You're All I Want

You would use your songs to say the words you couldn't say
And every word you sang was about you and me

I loved everything you wrote
And when you would sing I felt that my heart was falling

You're all I want
We fucked so hot, it left me faded
For all you are
There is no other love, it's only yours

You're all I want, all I love

And with Cristal and pink champagne
On our wedding day, you had a Hollywood sign made of cocaine for us

Then you got on top of it and you sang to me as the snow was falling

You're all I want
We fucked so hot, it left me faded
For all you are
There is no other love, it's only yours

You're all I want, all I love
