please speak up
my ears don't work the way they did when i was younger
i've been to too many rock n roll shows
and sleeping out in the cold
and she looks like someone i could do drugs with
her breath reminds me that she's human
i wanna feel her tattoos on my skin
i talk like there's something that i could really say
you walk as if there's some place you could really
walk away too
and i don't wanna be your lover
take me through your endless summer
and drop me off back where i roam

if you like me
let me know
cause the weight of my boots will give me away
so i wait for a bus or a car or a train
to take me away
so if you like me
let me know
cause i'm not very good at things like this
but fuck i think you're alright, kid.
and if you like me
let me know

Mansion Row

|
she invites me to her home
don't blame me now
"you can stay with me at my house"
take me out and fuck me up
as long as you are there
i don't mind and i don't care
and i watched you struggling to put your sneakers on
you smile at me when he turns around
she saved me from that wretched mansion row
she cooks to fill my gut
when i'm down and out
"take your fingers from your mouth"
she makes her noose from candy string
and my heart is weak
you can hide with me in my dreams
and i watched you struggling to keep your feelings down
sweet mistress lover heavy is your crown
when i awoke i felt your spirit alive in my bones

Waltz

|

|
i picked a flower and i watched her die
and i laugh and smirk while i ruin lives
and you call me things that i won't repeat
and you laugh in my face when you ask me to leave
so i call my sister and her girlfriend
and they pick me up and take me in
now you're getting me high
and you're kicking me out
but there's an angel who smiles
and says "it's not your fault"
so i make an attempt to walk away
but the numbers were dialed and the cops they came
so i ask my mother for some money to spend
cause i wanna find another solution to this
just something sweet

Sydney's Cat

i've gotta listen to your boyfriend blab
and i'm sitting on the couch with sydney's cat
and i don't know where she went
but these drugs are kicking in
and i'm feeling scared and feeling alone
i wish she was mine and i could take her home
but goddamn she's his
what did i do to deserve this
and you talk a lot about suicide
you say you know it's wrong but it feels so right
and the only trouble with this
is that my plans aren't much different from yours
so if my heart were to break
I'd say sorry my mistake
and i'd clean up my act
if you'd stand by my side
but you don't want that and you don't want me
won't you take it easy this is new to me

Julie makes coffee in the morning
after a night of booze
and my gut's on fire in the evening
julie, what are we gonna do?
julie makes coffee in the morning
when i'm feeling hungover as hell
and i'd lie to my woman just to keep you
cause julie you treat me so well
and you ask me my poison and i answer so kind
but i don't want no trouble so please be nice
please be nice

The gentle lo-fi songs on the latest phoneswithchords LP develop their granular sketches of childhood and coming of age into full portraits.
