You and Me

There you go again
You've tricked them all
Send them up the river
Set to fail
And you watch them lose their way
Watch them rue the day that they were born
Well I could just about say anything
And you wouldn't bat an eyelid
It's time to run a muck
It's time to let them know who runs the show
And you take the wheel
While I grab my little friend
We'll shoot the back windows out
Try to keep her straight
While I pick them off
Put your trust in me
And it's only you and me
Driving down the broken highway
Breathing in Lana Del Rey
And you watch me fall away
Watch me veer off into the shade
And you take the wheel
While I grab my little friend
We'll shoot the back windows out
Try to keep her straight
While I pick them off
Put your trust in me
And it's only you and me
Well that's enough for now
They're bound to figure it out
Before tea time you see
The boys with their toy guns
The girls with their tiaras
And what you're feeling is real
I'm hoping you'll see
That it's only you and me.
Put your trust in me
And it's only you and me
And it's only you and me
And it's only you and me

The Others

Giving it up to make room for the others
How the hell were you left on your own
Sounding out alarm bells for the mothers
For all their children in this crazy world
And you're not alone
Come with me tonight
We can leave this town
And start it over
You don't need to know
Where we plan to go
Just as long as you're with me
And I'll show you the world
Without all the hate
Without all the pain you feel everyday
I'm changing the way
You see me today
You see me today
So what do you want to say to the others
Where the hell were you went it went down
We're holding on to dear life, my god
We're boarding up the windows in this town
And you're not alone
Come with me tonight
We can leave this town
And start it over
You don't need to know
Where we plan to go
Just as long as you're with me
And I'll show you the world
Without all the hate
Without all the pain you feel everyday
I'm changing the way
You see me today
You see me today
And you're not alone
Come with me tonight
We can leave this town
And start it over
You don't need to know
Where we plan to go
Just as long as you're with me
And I'll show you the world
Without all the hate
Without all the pain you feel everyday
I'm changing the way
You see me today
You see me today

Family

Mother dear I think of you
On your favorite chair in winter
Bundled up and safe inside
From what we know
And now that we are older
I can see what we took from you
And I have tried to walk in a straight line
But sometimes I veer off
We are one
We are family
Father dear I think of you
And how it must have felt to hustle
Though you still remain the head
of the table
And now that we are older
I can see what we took from you
And I have tried to walk in a straight line
But sometimes I veer off
We are one
We are family
We are one
We are family
Sister dear I think of you
A little younger, slightly older
You're flanking me from either side
I am stronger
And now that we are older
I can see what we took from you
And I have tried to walk in a straight line
But sometimes I veer off
We are one
We are family
Unconditional love
for family
Unconditional love
for family
Unconditional love
for family

Hard to leave you
02:53
|

Peeking through the back row
Trying to stay out of view
Just as I remembered
Must have been a year or two
And it's so hard to leave you
Hard to leave you now
Now it's so hard to leave you
Hard to leave you now
You wouldn't believe me even if I made you so
But I was brought back to life to watch you grow
And it's so hard to leave you
Hard to leave you now
Now it's so hard to leave you
Hard to leave you now
One day princess you will grow into the woman
You were meant to be
Until then darling, I'll remain on the outside looking in
And it's so hard to leave you
Hard to leave you now
Now it's so hard to leave you
Hard to leave you now

We Have Ourselves
04:22

It's probably best to assume that the worst has yet to come
In spite of all fantastical shenanigans I'm still numb
And walking the plank in 2011 came easy to me
And it snapped in two before I had even reached the end, you see
And what is done is done
The anchor will pull me down
I'm waiting to drown
In this ocean of guilt and regret
What more could I ask of you when you've given me all you can
When roses have wilted and laughter dries up
What left do we have
And what is done is done
The anchor will pull me down
I'm waiting to drown
In this ocean of guilt and regret
Yes there is love
Yes there is love
Yes there is unholy, unbridled love
Yes there is love
Yes there is love
Yes there is unholy, unbridled love
In the end
We have ourselves to blame
For something so pure
And so volatile
And what is done is done
The anchor will pull me down
I'm waiting to drown
In this ocean of guilt and regret
And what is done is done
The anchor will pull me down
I'm waiting to drown
In this ocean of guilt and regret
