Verse 1
3 am frisbee on the Commonwealth mall
A wave of energy hits me, play like nothing at all
Your coat jacket on my shoulders is warm
Wake up tomorrow, I’ll be cold and worn
Chorus
Stayin’ up too late
I’m gettin a headache
And fallen’ asleep in class
Goin’ off to bed,
It gives me the dread
Of missin’ memories that last
I wanna stay with the comfort of you
But in the day it’ll catch up to me soon
Verse 2
Day goes by quickly, I want time to move slow
I only want it when you’re with me, I know otherwise I’d just go
I’m tryin’ not to let this feeling in the way
But when I think about it deeper, am I really?
Chorus
Stayin’ up too late
I’m gettin a headache
And fallen’ asleep in class
Goin’ off to bed,
It gives me the dread
Of missin’ memories that last
I wanna stay with the comfort of you
But in the day it’ll catch up to me soon
Outro
(Paper cups and…)
Paper cups and plastic bottles
Wasting cash on broken mottos
Hours of my life go by
Running my emotions dry
Every night that we spend together
Hoping something happens never
I watch your eyes, I watch the moon
I see you in a pink balloon
But wishin’ is an empty thing
An action is the only wing
That flies us to our destination
Uncertain in its desperation
We talk about the universe
But only in a fleeting burst
You’re back to doing your old thing
And all I’m left is wondering

Verse 1
Fuck that
Why isn’t it me
Why can’t we have that kind of chemistry
Your skin is like silk
Is that too much
I’d never say it out loud
No call, we’re distant
Floating lives, we’re lives apart
But I wanna be yours
I beg it full tilt
With my eyes, but no mouth
I’d never say it out loud
Prechorus
Paperback or wooden
No tell if I should or shouldn’t-
Chorus
No tell, no tell, no tell
No tell, no tell, no tell
My heart’s waiting for ya
Want a better hand, I’m a bitter man
Verse 2
Sharp turn
‘Round a corner, under deep
I’m in the back car with your laughter on repeat
Oh lookin’, lookin’ and lookin’ endlessly
(Lookin’, Lookin’, lookin’, lookin’)
But his and your forces say to my face that really I am weak
All you see is him
Forget about me, (and me, and me, and me, and ooh)
(Ahhh)
Chorus
Ohh
No tell, no tell, no tell
No tell, no tell, no tell
My heart’s waiting for ya
Want a better hand, I’m a bitter man
Bridge
I don’t mean to be so mean
Sometimes it’s hard to understand what you mean
When you send signals mixed with green and red and everything in between
A portrait of you and your cool shoes’ll show me that sometimes not everything is what it seems
Oh, and it’s my fault for bein’ insecure and so unsure when it comes to this
I can’t handle it
Wish I had an answer but it’s
Always…
Chorus
No tell, no tell, no tell
No tell, no tell, no tell
My heart’s waiting for ya
Mmm
Outro
I’m on a train to dreamland
More bags than just for a weekend
Lights are dim and hollow
Worst place to chase but I follow your lead
I’m runnin’ on low

Verse 1
Fever comin’ down
Let me write a song about you
Won’t have so much stumbling
And it’s too late to go back now
Words said can’t be retaken
But the other side’s relief
Chorus
So I guess I’ll go
Off to rest
You’ll lay your head on a different chest
And that has to be okay with me
The heart and mind
Are closest right there,
Pulled together by a force
Completely a mystery
Verse 2
Lips
Touching lips
Don’t we want the same things?
Warmth of your hips
The pull is overtaking
Bridge
And I don’t wanna be mature
Can I just cry about it for a second
I wish that you could see me cry
But I don’t think I ever would in front of you
And I know I’d waste my tears
Chorus
So I guess I’ll go
Off to rest
You’ll lay your head on a different chest
And that has to be okay with me
The heart and mind
Are closest right there,
Pulled together by a force
Completely a mystery
Refrain
It can’t be defined
Can’t be quantified
(A force completely a mystery)
Can’t be defined
Can’t be quantified
(A force completely a mystery)
Can’t be defined
Can’t be quantified
Outro
So I guess I’ll go
Off to bed
You’ll spend your time in a different head
And I guess that that’s okay with me
Our hearts align,
Get closer, but not there
So I’ll go and weather
A world completely a mystery
