It’s absurd, what you’re asking me to do
Clean up, after an adult like you
'Cause I don’t want to hold your hair
'Cause only a child would tell me who I can and cannot talk to
Only a psycho would hold my head down
Only a child would tell me just think dirty
Only a psycho would say, say, say, say
You’re a kid, you’re dirty
You’re a kid, get dirty
You’re kid, you’re dirty
Well I feel dirty, dirty
Ted Danson, got it right
Ted Danson, got it right
Ted Danson, got it right
Ted Danson, got it right
'Cause only a child would tell me who I can and cannot talk to
Only a psycho would hold my head down
'Cause only a child would tell me who I can and cannot talk to
Only a psycho would hold my head down
Only a child would tell me just think dirty
Only a psycho would say, say, say, say
You’re a kid, you’re dirty
You’re a kid, get dirty
You’re a kid, you’re dirty
Well I feel dirty, dirty

Lavi & coconut on my skin
I hear your deep breathe, to take it in
But don’t let me know
So close to letting me know
You come in pulling me for your affection
Roll to your side, I meet your eyes
You’ve lost all attention
I got used to you
Like you got used to me
And I’m not waiting for it
Again, again, again, again, again
While I feel it falling
Long nights, tortured love
Neither one of us willing to give it up
But don’t let me know
So close to letting me know
Confusion taking up all this momentum
Roll to your side, I roll to mine
We call it a night
I got used to you
Like you got used to me
And I’m not waiting for it
Again, again, again, again, again
While I feel it falling
Don’t let me know
Cause you never, never let me know
Don’t let me know
Cause you never, never let me know
You come in pulling me for your affection
Roll to your side, I meet your eyes
You’ve lost all attention
I got used to you
Like you got used to me
And I’m not waiting for it
Again, again, again, again, again
While I feel it falling

The Coffee Song

I’ve got courage, for just one moment
Hopefully long enough to last through putting
The right pieces of myself out here
So I might forget his face
But that’s not what I needed
I guess, I still need it
If all we have in common is coffee
Well that’s not enough to keep me grounded
You might keep me awake for a little while longer
But that’s not what I needed
Some sleep is what I needed
My life, has been up in the air
Might’ve felt a bit more together if he called
And now, I realize I needed you
To leave me be
But that night was what I needed
To see that you’re not what I needed
He was what I needed
And that’s not what I needed

Permanence
04:21

Don't tell me that you tried
It's simple, you didn't
You would've woken up in time
To sit and listen
To my official goodbye
Nothing too permanent
I can't say I didn't cry
In a cafe that afternoon
While I internalized
What I thought I meant to you
A little below permanence
I didn't think it too much to ask
That you would let me in on
what you might want
When I get back
So you arranged for snow to fall
And covered the tracks of
Your footsteps down the hall
The wrong hallway, at best
Those won't be too permanent
I didn't think it too much to ask
That you would let me in on
What you might want
When I get back
I didn't think it too much to ask
That you would wake up
And come here like we planned
Ask me all the wrong questions
Don't hear what I answer
I'm living like a guest, in this place I do remember
And I can't be the one to get you where you wanted
We both know you're gonna leave
I'd like to know when it's happening
I didn't think it too much to ask
That you would let me in on
what you might want
When I get back
I didn't think it too much to ask
That you would wake up
And come here like we planned
I didn't think it too much to ask
That you would let me in on
What you might want when I get back

Pete

Isn't it enough, that I'm always here
Readily available, should I be harder to find
Make myself scarce and wait
For you to change your mind
What a strange thing to be so proud of
I'll fix you up for some other woman to love you
Peter
Peter's out of his mind
Peter petered out just in time
And I heard from Lisa
When she whisper-yelled to you
That Peter checked out last night
At least you came back, I'll call that some effort
Fleetingly flawless by frenetic designers
I see the way you walk in a strangled line
What would I get, if I looked you up online
Cause you walk up an escalator going down
The kind of extra that keeps me around
And what a strange thing to be so proud of
I'll fix you up for some other woman to love you
Peter
Peter's out of his mind
Peter petered out just in time
And I heard from Lisa
When she whisper-yelled to you
That Peter checked out last night
I'm not cutting it
I don't know your definition
Peter, Peter, Peter, oh Peter
You're so jealous when I'm reckless
I had a friend cut the pattern out
Peter
Peter's out of his mind
Peter petered out just in time
And I heard from Lisa
When she whisper-yelled to you
That Peter checked out last night
Was I ever gonna be enough?
Am I ever gonna be enough?
'Cause you were never gonna be enough
Peter
