When headband's just a headache And every time you're high you're just stoned Will you find me At the end of the party line Then we can glide into middle age together Cuz we both know that it's coming It's time to settle down Time to push the plow around I wanna live in Animal Crossing with you And have a garden that's ours I don't wanna die alone I don't wanna die alone I used to tell myself I had options But now I want a guarantee Will you find me When I go home early to sleep Then we can slide down to middle age together We both know that it's coming It's time to settle down Might be nice with you around I wanna live in Animal Crossing with you And have a garden that's ours I don't wanna die alone I don't wanna die alone I wanna live in Animal Crossing with you I wanna live in Animal Crossing with you I wanna live in Animal Crossing with you I wanna live in Animal Crossing with you

Stalk Me 01:25
That post was from weeks ago There's no way you could've seen it now Go ahead and stalk me boy, but there's no need to Cuz I'm down There's so many missed connections At every single show Cuz I can't keep my stupid mouth open And I'm swimming in a sea of dreams So go ahead and stalk me boy, at least then I'll know I'll know whether to talk to you or not when I see you at shows That post was from weeks ago I know it's hard to be like "You're someone that I want in my life" You gotta do the dance, you gotta do the dance There's no need to play the game Just tell me how you feel There's no need to play the game But I'm scared to make the first move So go ahead and stalk me boy, at least then I'll know I'll know whether to talk to you or not when I see you at shows

Clownin' 02:58
Caught myself clownin' at the party Doing things I shouldn't Caught myself clownin' I'm a clown Easy as apple pie It's better to have something in your life To mess it up Than have nothing to give it meaning it all That's why I'm clownin' yeah Vain hope Tilting at windmills, clownin' Caught myself drowning If the hands of fate should come up with a joker That's fine, I'll put these bells on Caught myself clownin', yeah Caught myself clownin' at the party Vain hope Caught myself clownin' I'm a clown Easy as apple pie It's better to have something in your life To mess it up Than have nothing to give it meaning it all Caught myself clownin' Caught myself clownin' Caught myself clownin' at the party Caught myself clownin', party

I've seen you free Outside the sterile workplace environment I've seen you free And let me tell you you're really different Anything can happen (while we're drinking) Anything can happen Might fight might punch and shove Might fall in love Seen you free, among the daisies, whoa-oh (seen you stoned, baby) It's kind of funny to see You're so comfy around me Boy it's fun to be free I've seen you free Outside the sterile workplace environment I've seen you free And let me tell you you're really different I've got one question I've got one question Do you want to do this again Do you want to be friends Seen you free, among the flowers, whoa-oh (seen you stoned, baby) It makes no sense to me But I feel so free Boy you're something to see

Small Thing 02:41
Small thing my day is for Acting like a fool and it's all it's for Could've kept the friend but I wanted more From Jason to Tommy Small thing my day is for My whole life that is all it's for Small moments where rewards come quick I don't wanna take my time You know I live for pointless things You know I live for purposeless things Small thing my day is for Acting like a friend and it's all it's for Could've been afraid but I wanted more From Jason to Tommy Tommy was a friend who lived down the block In a time when I was too young for friends Jason clung on and I felt bad for him On the weekend turn into Bromf You know it's kind of like a seasonal bug You know I live for purposeless things Small thing my day is for My whole life that is all it's for Small moments where rewards come quick I don't wanna take my time You know I live for pointless things And beyond (forgive me Tommy!) Tommy Yeah

It's not that you're beautiful Cuz you ain't It's not your heart Though you got heart, boy It's your mischief That honks the horn in me It's your mischief That brings out the dog in me Give up weed for you, you know I will And the drinking's done It's your mischief That makes me crave normal life It's your mischief That makes me crave settle-down life Give up weed for you, you know I will Like my friend George did when he settled down All rules are turned around in the trick room of love It's not that you're beautiful Cuz you ain't It's not your heart Though you got heart It's your mischief (it's your mischief) It's your mischief (it's your mischief) It's your mischief (it's your mischief) Uh-huh Lemme tell you about my friend George His girl said "is it weed or is it me" The force of his decision snapped his life on track with a blow And he found purpose Uh-huh (it's your mischief) (it's your mischief) (it's your mischief)

Stoner God 04:13
Sit down Stoner god Don't you know that your mind and body are one Stoner god It's amazing That when you look like that you stay in bed all day Stoner god Slow down I believe now in God, since you You say fantasize About recapturing those glory days stoner moments I fantasize about you Stoner god You're amazing We could go outside or stay in bed all day Stoner god Slow down I believe now in God, since you And fairytales Yeah movies about love Stoner god I believe in you You've got the bro thing down If you want me around You don't have ask, stoner god You lay it on With the face and the eye-rolling Stoner god, stoner god You lay it on With the face and the eye-rolling Stoner god, stoner god

Came to me in college Tail between your legs You took me out of the party just to take me up to the pizza place I had a real good time Started getting needy You called me every day If I hadn't lost your number This is what I'd say Will you forgive me Jackson Will you forgive me please I only ever saw your clinging behavior Not the nakedness of your need Did you wrong in college Will you forgive me please I hope you've only blocked me and it hasn't come to something worse Because of me Boy I know your problems Boy I understand I used to blame the world for all the things I didn't want to admit were my fault I lost a lot of friends Started getting hungry But I know what it's like to be alone These are the words I'd say to your face If I still had your number in my phone Will you forgive me Jackson Will you forgive me please I only ever saw your clinging behavior Not the nakedness of your need Did you wrong in college Will you forgive me please I hope you've only blocked me and it hasn't come to something worse Because of me, is it because of me

Roommate 02:10
He was showing the place to a roommate And I hope he chooses the roommate An informal show Turned into friendship forevermore Yeah he's probably gonna take the place And I'll invite him to parties, see his drunk dumb face He was showing the place to a girlfriend And I know I'm in the way again And when he gave that girl the tour You know I stopped showing up at the door I still come to the place And every now and again I see his drunk dumb face All I'm saying is that it's sad And I start to feel envy for her You know I think she's got the key to the world And I wonder how she'd complain When she can have any damn fool on the end of a chain All I'm saying is that it's sad All I'm saying is that it's sad All I'm saying is that it's sad All I'm saying is that it's sad

You caught me standing outside Alone on the porch you were wondering why The band is inside And your friends are there I wonder why run and hide I'm not here for the music I'm lonely And I'd love to join your crew Instead of standing outside looking like a damn fool I'm not here for the music, I'm here for you You caught me standing outside And I tried to look happy while a part of me died I wanna see you tonight But I'd rather not see you in this state of mind I'm not here for the music I'm lonely And I'd love to join your crew Instead of standing outside looking like a damn fool I'm not here for the music, I'm here for you And I'd rather spend this time Getting in a state of mind Where my words come through loud and clear Instead of blending together like the days of the year I'm not here for the music I'm lonely I'm not here for the music I'm lonely I'm not here for the music, I'm here for you

Imagine being his friend And being invited to all his parties Ordering drinks, sharing our memories We're only kind of friends And when you hit me up You could probably be his friend I looked at your music, I looked at your outfit You could be his friend Now I imagine us together In a bar somewhere in town Ordering drinks, joining our friend groups We're becoming friends Na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na Henry Henry Henry Henry Henry Henry Henry Henry Henry Henry Henry meet Jacob Good God what a perfect night We're becoming friends Imagine being his friend And being invited to all his parties Ordering drinks, sharing our memories We're only kind of friends

Sat with you in Taylor's Fateful fateful day Asked me advice on how to break it up I told you right away Open your heart, open your heart Open your heart today If her poor heart starts breaking in half Then it's either you or her today It's either sacrifice or letting your happiness melt away Now I see you happy Happy every day You've got a house, you're having a child Fine in every way Because you opened your heart, opened your heart Opened your heart today The girl that you left, she ended up with Jackson And I can't think of a better fate It's either sacrifice or letting your happiness melt away Melt away, melt away Open your heart, open your heart Open your heart today Open your heart, open your heart Open your heart today Open your heart Open your heart

Teen Daze 03:43
Teen days Days of heightened crushes And dances where people stared Warily at one another That kid turned out to be a pervert What a damn shame He'd write down the DJ's name Oh no I wonder how everybody is doing now Not that I care so much as that I know I'll never see them again It scares me Teen days Days of blood and FOMO Knew I was doing in French class Was supposed to be watching the movie Thought I was slick back then Thought I was clever But everyone's so mature Oh no I wonder how everybody is doing now Not that I care so much as that I know I'll never see them again It scares me And I remember the song I had to go somewhere else It was that time in the world The dawn of hope Everybody fights from the sidelines I wonder how Abbie is doing now And hey Matt Tofte, I hope you got a real good job And Fang, dear Fang, where are you now Abbie!

I Could Tell 01:51
I could tell I could tell what was going on Cuz I've been there before On both sides of the gun One friend ain't up to snuff Then you gotta clean up Yeah you gotta clean up After someone else in your life And that ain't right In the car I could tell what was going on And they told me When we met up for one-on-one It wasn't up to snuff Now I gotta clean up Yeah I gotta clean up After someone else in my life That ain't right I could tell I could tell what was going on Cuz I've been there before On both sides of the gun Yeah I've been there before Been a friend who wasn't up to snuff And now I gotta clean up
