Double Shift

Bought my baby figure skates
Brand new books and a pencil case
She’s so excited, she can’t wait
She can’t wait
In her eyes I see yours too
Beautiful and ocean blue
When she’s laughing I hear you
I hear you
I don’t mind
There’s no trouble to it
I’ll be fine
Working a double shift
I don’t mind
There’s no trouble to it
I’ll be fine
Working a double shift
Double shift
I’ll pick her up around after five
The dinner’s ready when we’ll arrive
She can stay at Grandma’s for a while
For a while
I thought I heard you walking down the stairs
Or in the wind blowing through my hair
I know you’re with us everywhere
Everywhere
I don’t mind
There’s no trouble to it
I’ll be fine
Working a double shift
I don’t mind
There’s no trouble to it
I’ll be fine
Working a double shift
Double shift

Phantom Tears
04:14
|
|||
You make your way out to the street
There’s a show tonight that you ought to see
You crouch into a stranger’s backseat
Your coat feels heavy from the rain
You rather stay inside your head again
But tonight, you got promises to keep
No one will see it when you cry
No one can see, the phantom tears in your eyes
It’s been a while since you’ve had a drink
All the parties feel like a waste
You care less and less about what others think
But careful now, don’t you fade away
You rather stay inside your head again
But tonight, you got promises to keep
No one will see it when you cry
No one can see, the phantom tears in your eyes
Are you really alright?
Are you really alright?
When you say you are fine
You know it’s a lie
Are you alright?
When you say you are fine
You know it’s a lie
Are you alright?
You make your way out to the street
There’s a show tonight that you ought to see
You crouch into a stranger’s backseat
Your coat feels heavy from the rain

Rocking Chair
04:00
|

Sun-tanned skin, a half-moon smile
A new shaved man, a newborn child
L.A seems to give her what she needs
A diamond ring and legal weed
Your life is more like a rocking chair
You go back and forth, but you go nowhere
You keep on trying, so it’s not fair
Your life’s more like a rocking chair
Your life’s more like a rocking chair
Subway rides and big bright lights
Leave in the morning, come home at night
In New York City you do more than try
‘til your colors fade, and you’re getting dry
Your life is more like a rocking chair
You go back and forth, but you go nowhere
You keep on trying, so it’s not fair
Your life’s more like a rocking chair
Your life’s more like a rocking chair
Sun-tanned skin, a half-moon smile
A new shaved man, a newborn child
L.A seems to give her what she needs
A family, and stability
Our life was more like a rocking chair
We tried back and forth, but it went nowhere
When I’m dreaming, she’s still right there
My life’s more like a rocking chair
My life’s more like a rocking chair
My life’s more like a rocking chair

Alone with My Phone
04:01

In the dark
Sun is yet to rise
I’m waking up
Tired eyes
I think we know
It’s gonna be hard
To be in love, and to be apart
I won’t be much fun, to anyone else
I rather sink down on the couch
Alone with my phone
Talking to you
Dreaming of when
We’ve seen it through
I know we’ll grow
But it’s gonna be hard
To be in love, and to be apart
I won’t be much fun, to anyone else
I rather sink down on the couch
Blowing kisses through the screen
You take your hand, and place them on your cheek
I just want to be near you
I won’t be much fun, to anyone else
I rather sink down on the couch
