Shitty Runner 04:37
lyrics

You said music’s about us When we’re apart Thought I saw your face In the window of a car Fourth bar of the night So rowdy in Madrid Somedays for some kids Everything is this You sent me the jazz you like Young and hungry Toronto artists Sat on the stairs And felt a year pass Always sneaking off Getting guitars fixed Playlist obsessive compulsive Track down your favorite songs Try to listen to something Good in Grenada Get bored if it takes too long If you’re looking to find me I’m chopping down trees You can use the wood to build me Shitty runner, shitty runner I never walk so fast As when I’m walking to you Take me to your family home for Easter Didn’t give anything up for Lent Crocodile tears so you’ll wear a helmet Fell of your bike an hurt your neck Playlist obsessive compulsive Track down your favorite songs Try to listen to something Good in Grenada Get bored if it takes too long If you’re looking to find me I’m chopping down trees You can use the wood to build me Shitty runner, shitty runner I never walk so fast As when I’m walking to you And the Jeanne-Mance was too wet for my knees Converse for spring put on too early It’s turning summer, It’s turning summer I feel the heat kick in When I’m walking to you What’s our bed gonna look like? A different color for every season What’s our bed gonna look like? A different color for every season

Dominoes 04:09

Playing dominoes I like your girlfriend, she’s really cool Winning dominoes I finally caught on to the rules In your new home People move here from where we’re from The Maritimes Bring out the New Yorker in you Swim in the Atlantic I’ve never felt water so cold Get a drink like old friends And I knock down all the dominoes Am I the smartest Youngest daughter you’ve ever had? Or am I selfish? Am I ungrateful, am I a brat? Swim in the Atlantic I’ve never felt water so cold Get a drink like old friends And I knock down all the dominoes I wrote a song about you when I was nineteen I showed my best friends, it made them cry That’s three years ago, the song is old I think I liked it when they cried The dominoes arranged so well You pushed my hand, I pushed them down I knocked down all the dominoes It’s all my fault I’ll clean them up It’s all my fault I’ll clean them up It’s not my fault I’m not cleaning up It’s not my fault I’m not cleaning up

You asked me if I’d ever seen 2001: Space Odyssey I told you that my favorite part of any movie ever is The baby at the end Is the baby at the end We talked about The Last Waltz and stopped making sense I asked what you thought about Joni’s silhouette Joni’s silhouette We all said that fact about Neil Young’s nose Everybody knows it but it’s always so fun Showing off what we know Showing off what we know Growing up too fast Growing up too slow I’m trying to find the bone For the monkey to throw Growing up too fast Growing up too slow I’m trying to find the bone For the monkey to throw Growing up too fast Too slow Bike around until the summer turns into fall Get my master’s in construction and build us a new mall All of our stores will be in one place Shopping forever Not leaving a trace No don’t leave a trace Sit around, talk shit, piss each other off You don’t do the dishes nearly enough Write five to seven pages about Hannah Arendt Chop up the onions Remember to pay rent Remember to pay rent You sat on a bench across from me I asked about the donuts on the string At the birthday party You sat at the table across from me We looked each other up and down I always say you saw me Growing up too fast Growing up too slow I’m trying to find the bone For the monkey to throw Growing up too fast Growing up too slow I’m trying to find the bone For the monkey to throw Growing up too fast Too slow

Older Younger Brother 03:56

Arcade Fire is coming into town It was their town too once We thought we’d get a concert Of affirmation All we got was “Merci beaucoup” I remember the couples at Twin Peaks Skinny boys and their baddie girlfriends Even at fourteen I knew how I danced By bumping into people Their carpenter pants I used to say “fuck that couple, They’re not having any fun” Now I think they were just horny And waiting for their favorite song (When you said “you love me”) All the bands (You just wanted from me) In the early two-thousands (Older younger brother) (Something meaning nothing) Sing about the businessmen (When you said “you love me”) (You just wanted from me) Now their fans are techno tyrants (Older younger brother) (Something meaning nothing) And all the babies are communists He said every tyrant dies I yelled “fuck Bush” too loud Like I was expecting a prize House Burned Down this May is Getting weirder by the hour Upstate New York with the Trumpies And the Orthodox Jews (When you said “you love me”) Made a movie (You just wanted from me) About dictatorship (Older younger brother) (Something meaning nothing) My part was too cinematic (When you said “you love me”) (You just wanted from me) Found a 9/11 T-shirt (Older younger brother) (Something meaning nothing) Why’s everything so ironic? When you said “you love me” You just wanted from me Older younger brother Something meaning nothing When you said “you love me” You just wanted from me Older younger brother Something meaning nothing When you said “you love me” You just wanted from me Older younger brother Something meaning nothing When you said “you love me” You just wanted from me Older younger brother Something meaning nothing

Thursday Grey Hound Plattsburgh sacred bound Hand your ID’s Watch as the leaves pass Remember laundry Give him the stink eye Bagels on Sunday It’s not his fault I never think that So I know it’s true Praising my patience Riding E-bikes again Time is so weird man Been into Pink Floyd Which is weird Cuz I’m scared of acid Everyday ego death Apply for a cap and gown Practice my meanest frown Wonder about hell If you don’t drink it fast enough It’ll get stale I think you have a gun Everyone’s got a gun It’s in my head When we see movies We both think of Batman I crossed the black cat’s path I’ll transform maturity I’ll transform maternity I’ll transform maturity I’ll transform maternity I’ll transform maternity I’ll transform maturity (I’ll transform maternity) I’ll transform maternity (I’ll transform maturity) I’ll transform maturity (I’ll transform maternity) I’ll transform maternity (I’ll transform maturity) I’ll transform maturity (I’ll transform maternity) I’ll transform maternity (I’ll transform maturity) I’ll transform maturity (I’ll transform maternity)

Westchester Bourne 03:41

There’s a town in Ontario He says to me on the radio I’m going there With you On the 401 The sun breaks through We drag the car Up through the snow It gets so damn Ethereal Breaking down on the 407 Tell it to everyone like It’s some old legend Flip the books open Archive of the snow in heaven Make an imprint On me, on the Eleventh A deep-cut Neon Bible Song comes on First day of the year Your hair is finally long Hour four of the Train to Ottawa I pretend to sleep so You’ll kiss me harder I said we’re like my Mom at an estate sale Finding gold in Someone’s rubble Or a watercolor collection of The leaves in Canada Play Eyelid Movies And go visit your grandma Flip the books open Archive of the snow in heaven Make an imprint On me, on the Eleventh

Rome wasn’t built in a day Fill out a Visa application so I can stay In Canada for two more years New York looks like T.V, It smells like beer You’re sweating so I’m sweating you You’re snapping so I laugh at you Call your best friend from your old school He picks up the phone, Says “what’s new?” He picks up the phone, Says “what’s new?” I’m sorry you’re in a bad mood We’ll all get back to work soon We’ll all get back to work soon We’ll all get back Photo came up on your phone From high school It put me in a bad mood We’ll all get back to work soon We’ll all get back I asked what you thought about Evolution on the walk up I think if I found out About it now I’d be weirded out I don’t understand the stampede I think Lion King stayed with me But I love Jordan One day I’ll visit him In Calgary I’m sorry you’re in a bad mood We’ll all get back to work soon We’ll all get back to work soon We’ll all get back Photo came up on your phone From high school It put me in a bad mood It put me in a bad mood It took you back

Latin Class, Broken Wrist 06:59

Take a train You just turned fifteen Get off at Delancey Hey Jesse contribute Lyrically I hate people who write songs About New York It just always feels wrong But it’s my birthday On Friday So I’m allowed to sing about Back in the day Sit around and get Something to think about Grow up, fuck around And find out There’s a birthday tree But they chopped it down Sit around and get Something to think about Grow up, fuck around And find out There’s a birthday tree But they chopped it down Sit around and get Something to think about Grow up, fuck around And find out There’s a birthday tree But they chopped it down Somewhere in some other universe There’s a girl in Latin class She’s wondering about herself At twenty-two I wanna tell her “me too” Gonna tell her about How my hair hangs In the winter I’m on top And the band that didn’t say “Hi” to us Well honey toughen up This is growing up The other day I walked Through a wind tunnel I thought I’d wanna write a song Like Wilco So many rocks and so much salt From all the snow I’ll never write a song like Fucking Wilco You’re smiling like you know What your eyes look like You’d make such a good mother Somewhere in some other universe I think I’d still have a broken wrist I don’t know about the government And if I do I don’t really give a shit I got something to think about Fucked around and I found out I’d sit under the birthday tree But the city chopped it down The city chopped it down The city chopped it down

Honda Odyssey 04:27
lyrics

Bands not playing any shoegaze But I’m staring at my feet Thinking about the oldest one All the kids she's gonna meet Thinking about the middle one Our perfect thing Lois sweet There were dinosaurs before us three But we’re in a fossil A fossil on Plaza Street There’s a car On the street somewhere A Honda Odyssey It’s dark blue And it smells like a trip Down to Delaware Let the ocean waves Clobber you I know it’s hard When we’re so angry And I don’t even Always know why But I know that time You sat in your bathrobe And I think the pink plush of it Made me cry A band you knew in Madison Rolled into town I looked like you With my blonde hair The bass player glanced Like he knew me I think he thought I was Audrey Your hair is so dark now I like it with your blue eyes I never knew a girl could Look like you Tell me about Westeros Show me an episode I’ll build you a boat And I’ll take you There’s a car On the street somewhere A Honda Odyssey It’s dark blue And it smells like a trip Down to Delaware Let the ocean waves Clobber you I know it’s hard When I seem distant Don’t we all Just want to breathe It feels impossible To be in a family But it feels worse to think about Being free
