Freeze Frame

i knew if i had a freeze frame moment in time i'd spend it next to you
if i decided to tell you how i would just like to smell you
i am imagining your reaction to my action and it's
not pretty in any city, not couth on any rooftop
party where i'd probably do it
i'm so good at keeping it from you that i'd move mountains to please you
probably don't know that i exist
well i guess we talk sometimes, but there's a barrier i'm always aware of
i don't know what you't think of this
i knew if i had a freeze frame moment in time i'd spend it next to you
even though you couldn't move or see
that i was the only person alive who wasn't stuck ion the freeze
what must you think of me
too cool for school i noticed, one look at you and i'm whisked
back to seventh grade, over my head in every way
i feel like almost dying so my life would flash before
my eyes and i'd see the moments that we've shared
it's walling up inside me, can't seem to clamor over the
hurdle keeping me from telling you how i feel
it'll happen one of these days, till then you go on your merry way
ignorance is bliss, i wouldn't even steal a kiss
if i had a freeze frame moment in time i'd spend it next to you
even though you couldn't move or see
that i was the only person alive who wasn't stuck ion the freeze
what must you think of me

Hips/Lips

your eyes cut me deep even in my sleep you can see me dream and you're dreaming of the same thing
what you say with your lips, what you say with your hips is different
i can't mistake this secret taste or what's on your face it's like looking in a mirror
what you say with your lips, what you say with your hips is different
surrounded by these enemies we make conversation
words ringing out as empty as our plates before dinner
i can see a glimmer, we could just be sinners and both finish at the same time
can't reveal ourselves to this company
shall we hit the streets, buy a bottle of something sweet, just you and me
instead we talk about the weather, will it get better, and will your boyfriend ever remember
your eyes cut me deep even in my sleep you can see me dream and you're dreaming of the same thing
what you say with your lips, what you say with your hips is different
i can't mistake this secret taste or what's on your face it's like looking in a mirror
what you say with your lips, what you say with your hips is different
let's be clear
you're whispering in my ear a string of nasty nasty now lets sneak off to the bathroom fantastic
these ain't no blurred lines, our bodies energized like we touching each other for the first time
can you keep it a secret, can i keep it a secret
if the answer's yes we can continue to freak it
now lets get back to the party and drink some more wine
and see if we can't hit it a few more times tonight
(what you say with your lips, what you say with your hips is different)

Time To Play
03:05

in the middle of the city there are office buildings standing tall
i don't know how many floors they have, can't count 'em all
on the ceilings fluorescent bulbs are humming sixty hertz
cubicle walls and stacks of paper, pens, and collared shirts
give me some time
give me some time
give me some time to play
scrolling down and like and share because it's easy to
a tailored slice of information that appeals to you
check your messages, alert you have a notification
i've had better conversations in an echo chamber
give me some time
give me some time
give me some time to play
deep inside exists the blueprint to destroy myself
cells dividing, breaking down with each repeated step
i'm not so sure my phone against my thigh is helping things
when it's not there i'm often startled by a phantom ring
give me some time
give me some time
give me some time to play

Done To You

if i came across your old guy, i would seriously consider
violent revenge but i know that you'd mind
take the lid off the jar where he's kept in your brain
poisoning synapses, egos's dead, we'll get by
we see different people when we're standing in the bathroom
you see a creature that you want to smash with a shoe
i see an empathetic soul but lurking in the back room
is what he put you through now what's he done to you
(you) comprehend what's laid down as the truth
and i know you're taking steps to amend history, to forget
just let go, i am here, i can catch you if you fall
but i think that you'll fly, stretch your wings, fill the sky
we see different people when we're standing in the bathroom
you see a creature that you want to smash with a shoe
i see an empathetic soul but lurking in the back room
is what he put you through now what's he done to you
(what's he done to you)
