Home in My Heart
03:11
|

Found a home in my heart where a hole used to be
White picket fence tucked away in the trees
It’s got copper roof shingles
I built it myself
I found a home in my heart
Wherever I go it follows my lead
I am never alone, home is calling for me
I don’t need reservations
At an air bnb
I found a home in my heart
I’ve been looking for shelter in all the wrong places
Under rocks or in various people’s embraces
But the windows and walls don’t define
What is so undeniably mine
It don’t have an address but I’m there all the time
The home that I found in my heart
Found a home in my heart it don’t cost me a dime
Come and go as I want it’s unlocked all the time
Don’t pay property taxes
My rent’s never late
I found a home in my heart
Found a home in my heart where an ache used to be
It was lonesome and dark till I learned how to see
I can’t love someone else
Till I learn to love me
I found a home in my heart

Faker

Molly's getting married and the twins are growing up so fast
Kathryn's got a new love, I think this one is gonna last
Mama's in the garden growing carrots like you won't believe
I think there's something wrong with me
I think there's something wrong with me
Maybe I'm just a faker
I won't text you back later
Cause I'm crying in the bathtub
Working on a caption
These smiling faces
I can't seem to relate
And I'm part of the problem
Refresh notifications
Maybe I'm just a faker
Maybe I'm just a faker
Jesse got a new car, they paid off all their student debt
I just burned the oatmeal although I don't know it yet
Argue with my feelings while I try to find the perfect light
I hope that I can sleep tonight
I hope I'm doing something right
Maybe I'm just a faker
I won't text you back later
Cause I'm crying in the bathtub
Working on a caption
These smiling faces
I can't seem to relate
And I'm part of the problem
Refresh notifications
Maybe I'm just a faker
Maybe I'm just a faker
I won't text you back later
Cause maybe I'm just a faker

Toxic Positivity
02:30
|

Keep your chin up
Things will turn around
Any minute
You look worse with a frown
I know you mean well
But you’re not helping anything
Makes me feel like you’re not listening
You oughta know
That I just needed a shoulder
Must have misunderstood what I meant
You’re always lifting me up
It’s really bringing me down
I don’t need saving when I’m trying to vent
I just wanna be sad
Sit here crying on the couch all day
I don’t need you to tell me everything is gonna be ok
If I gotta feeling
Oh, I’m gonna feel it
Sometimes being happy is a bad thing
If you don’t mean it
It’s been a long year
All alone here
Getting sick of myself
All your upbeat affirmations
Are bad for my health
You oughta know
That I just needed a shoulder
Must have misunderstood what I meant
You’re always lifting me up
It’s really bringing me down
I don’t need saving when I’m trying to vent
I just wanna be sad
Sit here crying on the couch all day
I don’t need you to tell me everything is gonna be ok
If I gotta feeling
Oh, I’m gonna feel it
Sometimes being happy is a bad thing
If you don’t mean it
Oh sometimes being happy
Is a bad thing
When I just wanna be sad
Sit here crying on the couch all day
I don’t need you to tell me everything is gonna be ok
If I gotta feeling
Oh, I’m gonna feel it
Sometimes being happy is a bad thing
If you don’t mean it
Sometimes being happy is a bad thing
If you don’t mean it
Sometimes being happy is a bad thing
If you don’t mean it

Exposure
03:03
|

You say you want me
You say that I’m the perfect fit
But your summer love is running out
December’s rolling in
You say you’ll hold me
Keep me warm till I forget
I start shivering
I start shivering
My lips are turning blue
You treat me like a fool
It’s a cold cold world and it keeps getting colder
I think I’m gonna die of exposure
You say you need me
You say that I’m one of a kind
But then every time I start to fall
You move on down the line
You say I’m greedy
I should be grateful for your time
I start believing you
I start believing your lies
My lips are turning blue
You treat me like a fool
It’s a cold cold world and it keeps getting colder
I think I’m gonna die of exposure
All you do is take, take from me
Take, take from me
Take, take from me
I can feel the mercury dropping
Dropping
My lips are turning blue
You treat me like a fool
It’s a cold cold world and it keeps getting colder
I think I’m gonna die
I think I’m gonna die
I think I’m gonna die of exposure

Margaret

I don’t have the hands to count
The times you’ve seen me cry
Lately I’ve been pacing floors
And talking to my wine
I’m sorry it’s been so long
But it’s 2AM, you still pick up the phone
Margaret, you don’t know the half of it
I’ve been standing in one place for far too long
Margaret, you know that I’m full of it
You can hear the weather in my voice through the telephone
Oh, Margaret
Oh, Margaret
Years pass by and photographs
Get dusty in your drawer
You might not live right down the street
Like you did before
I’m sorry it’s been so long
But it’s 2AM, you still pick up the phone
Margaret, you don’t know the half of it
I’ve been standing in one place for far too long
Margaret, you know that I’m full of it
You can hear the weather in my voice through the telephone
Oh, Margaret
Oh, Margaret
Though we grow up
We don’t grow apart
Memories make the miles feel less far
Margaret, you don’t know the half of it
I’ve been standing in one place for far too long
Margaret, you know that I’m full of it
You can hear the weather in my voice through the telephone
Oh, Margaret
Oh, Margaret
Oh, Margaret
Oh, Margaret

Sunshine
02:40
|
|||
Keeping my distance from reoccurring visions of
Sighing and crying and kissing and lying
My television is turning me hopeless
This might be a race but we’re not all gonna win this
Sunshine is making me homesick
I’m starting to lose it
I’m starting to lose it
Feels like we’re taking a bad trip
I’m scared of the music
I’m scared of the music
Talk to my friends’ floating heads in the living room
Ghosts that remind me of simpler seasons
Please remain calm, I’ve forgotten all I thought I knew
Who would’ve guessed we’d be scared of our breathing
Sunshine is making me homesick
I’m starting to lose it
I’m starting to lose it
Feels like we’re taking a bad trip
I’m scared of the music
I’m scared of the music
I think I’m starting to lose it
I think I’m scared of the music
I think I’m starting to lose it
I think I’m scared of the music
Sunshine is making me homesick
I’m starting to lose it
I’m starting to lose it
Feels like we’re taking a bad trip
I’m scared of the music
I’m scared of the music

My Body
02:06
|

I have a body it follows me everywhere
Even when I sleep it breathes though I’m unaware
Sometimes my body will fall into disrepair
But it’s mine, oh it’s mine all the same
Sometimes my body and my mind don’t see eye to eye
It’s funny cause my mind doesn’t technically have any eyes
The point is it’s very confusing to be alive
But I am, yes I am all the same
I saw a shovel on the sidewalk
I keep on wondering who it belongs to
But it’s not the sort of thing you can make a poster for
I have a body perhaps I’m just visiting
I know it sounds silly but isn’t it interesting
We grow and we change then we shrink till we’re nothing
But we’re here, yes we’re here all the same

Angeline
03:47
|

She used to work at a bank in Geneva
35, beautiful, wit like a snare
She usually thrives drinking scotch in the evenings
She wrote down an address so I met her there
Oh, Angeline did you write about me?
Did you write about me, Angeline?
Oh, Angeline did you write about me?
Did you write about me, Angeline?
Angeline
We got to talking ‘bout train rides in springtime
Paperback novels and places we’d been
Laughing at how good and messy our lives are
She follows her compass by the tip of her pen
Oh, Angeline did you write about me?
Did you write about me, Angeline?
Oh, Angeline did you write about me?
Did you write about me, Angeline?
Angeline
Angeline
I wanna live so loud I wanna scream and shout
I wanna live like poetry, like Angeline somehow
Been holding on to compromise and my self doubt
I will release the beast within it’s time to let it out
Angeline
Angeline
Angeline
Angeline
Angeline
Angeline

Gold (Remastered)
03:19

Just a little bit broken
Like I've been cracked wide open
How will I ever, will I ever put myself back together again?
Just a little bit shattered
Like when you lose someone that matters
And so you try and you try and you try to try again
What do I do with the spaces between what used to be me?
Fill them with gold
Fill them with gold
You take what you've got
Hold what you've lost
You won't pretend it never happened
And when the cracks between the pieces just won't hold
Fill them with gold
Just a little bit worn down
From this dark and lonesome feeling
I keep thinking it's a dream and then it's not
I won't lose hope now
Cause with every breath I'm breathing
It's another breath closer to seeing the sun
What do I do with the spaces between what used to be me?
Fill them with gold
Fill them with gold
You take what you've got
Hold what you've lost
You won't pretend it never happened
And when the cracks between the pieces just won't hold
Fill them with gold

Alright
03:13
|

I’m not one for talking lately
I’m not one for doing much at all
I’m not one for talking maybe
I’ll just sit here staring at my phone
Will you tell me something beautiful
Tell me something beautiful I didn’t know before
Will you tell me something beautiful
Tell me something beautiful I didn’t know before
I’m waiting for a sign
That I’m gonna be alright
Alright?
I’m not one for breaking plans but
Lately I can’t wait to be alone
Can’t explain this lonesome ocean
Every wave takes me further from home
Will you show me something beautiful
Show me something beautiful I’ve never seen before
Will you show me something beautiful
Show me something beautiful
I’ve never seen before
I’m waiting for a sign
That I’m gonna be alright
Alright?
I’m gonna be alright
I’m gonna be alright
I’m somehow gonna be alright

Salt & Water
03:14
|

My oldest friends are salt and water
They’ve been with me from the start
From the moment I was somebody’s daughter
I was salt and water
Isn’t it funny
Isn’t it sad
When you’re healing
Is when it hurts so bad
Isn’t it funny
Somewhat unique
That our body tries to comfort us
Our body tries to comfort us
Our body tries to comfort us
With an optical leak
My closest friends are fear and worry
I’m sure you must have met
From the moment I could be in a hurry
There was fear and worry
Is there serenity in salinity
Is there serenity in salinity
Is there serenity in salinity
Is there serenity in salinity
Salt and salt and water, is what we’re made of
Salt and salt and water, at least I think so
Salt and salt and water, I’m not a biologist
Salt and salt and water
