Mad Season

I’d let him in, oh, I’d let him win — I’d burn my house down just to hear him scream my name. (I’ve carried hopes and heavy daydreams, she said, but I’m tired of sleeping.)

Take the phone calls, take the circus, take the drama, ‘cause baby, it’s worthless.

This modern love is not enough. (She said, watch your back: I’m nobody’s girlfriend.) This modern love is not enough. (Oh, they said one big exhale never did me no good.)

One big exhale never did me no good.

Kiss quick, I’ve got a line out the door who all think they can save me. One by one, they lay the world at my feet; one by one, they drive me crazy.

Shut your mouth, pull me out before it all goes gray. One by one, they lay the world at my feet; one by one, they go away.

Matt Nathanson live stream was so good. :)

He’s such a cool guy.

“Be smart enough to navigate and too stupid to stop.”

“I’m trying to be the kind of artist where creating is just what you do
instead of something you set aside the time to do.”

“I’m like Magneto…in my pants.”

“Kanye West comes to me for lessons.”

“Come to my concerts. It’ll be an orgy of sound.”

And they did All We Are and Modern Love. <3 Also, Adam Levine and Matt apparently played a prank on Train where they pretended to be a couple. Most attractive couple ever.

(So you can pick me up just to put me down again.)

Show me where the sun comes through the sky;
I’ll show you where the rain gets in,
and I’ll show you hurricanes.
(And the way that summer fades
underneath the weight of it all.)

Watch your back: I’m nobody’s girlfriend.

She said this talking kind of wears me out,
and all these salesmen, baby, make me tired.

They’re no good, to tell you the truth, she said.
I’ve been getting used to lying.

They send me love songs, with store bought words.
They make me promises, like politicians.

We stumble and disconnect, over and over again.

This modern love is not enough, she said. Watch your back:
I’m nobody’s girlfriend.
This modern love is not enough.
They said one big exhale never did me no, good.

I’d let ‘em in, oh man, I’d let em win.
I’d burn my house down just to hear them scream my name.
I’ve carried hope and heavy daydreams, she said, but I’m done with sleeping.

Take the phone calls, take this circus, take the drama, ‘cause baby it’s worthless.

This modern love is not enough, she said. Watch your back:
I’m nobody’s girlfriend.
This modern love is not enough.
They said one big exhale never did me no, good.

And the bright light shines, and we ache and we break and we try.
Stage light shines, and they blind our eyes to it all.
Still, we ache and we break and we just can’t get it right.

This modern love is not enough, she said. Watch your back:
I’m nobody’s girlfriend.
This modern love is not enough.

Oh, this modern love is just a taco truck.
Come on, take the phone calls: I’ll take the silence.

This modern love is not enough.
One big exhale never did me no good.
One exhale, one big exhale.
One exhale never did me no good.
Never did me no good.

Day 12 - The last song you heard.

This year has all but disappeared, bought into fairy tales,
but Sleeping Beauty just kept score,
and tried to sleep more.

She said “I’m not quite myself tonight.
But the way you touch me, makes me
tongue tied. That could be the wine, too.”

Kiss quick, I’ve got a line out the door.
They all think they can save me.
One by one they lay the world at my feet;
one by one they drive me crazy.

She said “I know love, it’s all push and shove.
So stop talking: put your back into it.”
Loaded, oh I hear it shook to hold it.
I turned her body on, I turned her body on myself.

Kiss quick, I’ve got a line out the door.
They all think they can save me.
One by one they lay the world at my feet.
One by one they drive me crazy.

Shut your mouth, pull me out before this all goes gray.
One by one they lay the world at my feet,
one by one they go away.

C’mon, c’mon.

Kiss quick, I’ve got a line out the door
who all think they can save me.
One by one they lay the world at my feet.
One by one they drive me crazy.

Shut your mouth, pull me out before this all goes gray.
One by one they lay the world at my feet,
one by one they go away, they go away.
They go away.

Sold my blood for money, baby, baby,
and I love how it feels.

This year all but disappeared.
