Breaking another habit
Oh, there's really something to starting a new day
Thinking I really have it
But I never really know until I'm flat on my back again
And I'm having a good time
Cuz she cuts such a fine line
And she lives in the valley
And she says that in Cali
We get all our waves back home
And it seems like an old joke
But I'm leaving the east coast
Cuz it's kinda depressing
So that's why I'm confessing
I'm having a good time
But I feel like a punchline
So I'm trying to rally
Cuz she tells me in Cali
We get all our waves back home
I think that I might have it
Oh, there's really something to starting a new day
Feeding another habit
I guess I never really know until I'm flat on my back again
Popping another tablet
20 minutes and I'm shot out a gun again
I guess that's why I'm confessing
I'm having a good time
Cuz she cuts such a fine line
And she lives in the valley
And she says that in Cali
We get all our waves back home
(Are you having a good time?)
We get all our waves back home
(Cuz I feel like a punchline)
We get all our waves back home
(And that's kinda depressing)
We get all our waves back home
(But I'm glad you're undressing)
We get all our waves back home
(Oh, you cut such a fine line)
We get all our waves back home
(So it seems like a good sign)
We get all our waves back home
(That you live in the valley)
We get all our waves back home
(Cuz it's better in Cali)
We get all our waves back home
(But I feel like an old joke)
We get all our waves back home
(Driving out to the west coast)
We get all our waves back home
(Trying out for a pilot)
We get all our waves back home
(With a postmodern mindset)
We get all our waves back home

Trapped in an automatic light
Moth in a suicidal flight
At least you told me you would try
For one photographic moment in your life
I saw you Sunday and you seemed so insecure
Emptying your drawers of items that you never used before
Clothes in your bedroom in a monolithic pile
But you never even wore them; now they've all gone out of style
It's just so simple every time
Packing up those lost intentions with the batteries that died
And then you start to cry
It's just a ploy to blow my mind
Moth in an automatic light
As if you've given up the fight
But then you promised you would try
For that ultrasonic moment of new life
I saw you Sunday and you seemed so insecure
Filling up your shelves with items that you never ate before
Cans in the pantry in a totemistic shrine
But you've never used the oven; you just order out online
It's just so simple every time
Posting up those good intentions; getting back 100 likes
But then you start to cry
It's just a ploy to blow my mind
And when you start to cry
It's just a ploy to blow my mind

Get Me to the Bridge
03:18
|

I stood in line to tell you what I had in mind
But you were not so easily persuaded
to accommodate the musings of a dreamer
Get me to bridge, I have to go now
Get me to the bridge, I have to fall
Get me to the bridge, I have to go now
You ought to know now; I have to take the fall
I took a chance and asked you for a slower dance
But you were not so easily elated
or swept off of your feet by gentle swaying
Get me to bridge, I have to go now
Get me to the bridge, I have to fall
Get me to the bridge, I have to go now
You ought to know now; I have to take the fall
Get me to the bridge, I have to go now
You ought to know now; I have to take the fall
I heard you say "tomorrow is another day.
You shouldn't be so easily defeated.
Just think of all the songs left uncompleted."
