Classic Treat me like I’m younger Treat me like a little brother Addict My feelings mean nothing Treat me like I’ll just forget Switching Crying on my shoulder I remember everything you did When we were abandoned When you tore me open I remember, I remember Don’t you call me anxious I saw what you never noticed I remember, I remember Everything you did Call me up sometime, feeling alright? Ask me how I am, take forty-five to tell me how life is Everything’s fine, all’s forgiven But I can’t help thinking ‘bout you Every time I put the phone down, my heart starts racing Hurting everyone you love but I’m the only that’s listening Tell me keep it in the past now, I want to, I want to Don’t you call me thankless Banking on my ignorance I remember, I remember Everything you did Ooh looking backward, the signs seem clearer I was dodging every word, watching every step Did my best to never wake a sleeping giant Just a kid but tried so hard You’re acting wild but speaking kind Your narcissism can’t tell them apart (Ooh) Did you think I’d come crawling back, settle in your web again? Did you really just confess to spread around the guilt? Looking backward, it’s not so different Your fingers tied a string right over my head and left me there Looking inward, it’s too much credit So when you call my name, I’ve already left Don’t you call me anxious Begging for forgiveness Feeling out my weakness I remember, I remember Everything you did

Get a Grip 04:08
Feels like my back is breaking from carrying your weight around I swear I saw your hand extending, the dust is spilling from your mouth Black tar under my fingers, yeah you said you would help me out I won’t go so far, I won’t go so far Just to take one step Get a grip Don’t make me, don’t make me, don’t make me get it for you Get a grip Don’t make me, don’t make me, don’t make me get it for you It seemed like there’d be some support for us, but you were just thinking aloud Your effort’s starting to feel poisonous, we’re sinking like a million pounds We won’t make it far at the pace you’ve set You make it look so hard Get a grip Don’t make me, don’t make me, don’t make me get it for you Get a grip Don’t make me, don’t make me, don’t make me get it for you Listen, please don’t forget that feeling Yeah you’ve got what it takes It’s just like you’ve been saying That everything’s at stake I just need you to hear me Don’t let it slip away It comes down to believing I just need you to hear me No don’t forget that feeling Don’t let it slip away Don’t let it slip away

Punching Bag 03:39
You take what you get and you don’t hit back A real punching bag, yeah And they can take ten years to call you again A real boomerang, yeah And they’ll hack you and slash you and steal your soul But it ain’t half as bad as being alone, oh no You’re holding me back while I’m holding you up (oh) But you’re not so tough (oh) Come on, teacher, I wanna dance, don’t say I can’t With your snake tattoos and your dirty hands, you can’t hide from that You keep on acting and crafting, leading us on But you’re at least half as bad as me, I know Ooh yeah, I know (Ooh) You’re holding me back while I’m holding you up But you’re not so tough, not so tough You’re holding me back while I’m holding you up But you’re not so tough, not so tough Blistering—you built a wall so tall that it can’t stand Shivering—you left us out, but we’re coming back in Now be honest, don’t promise the same old song Or we’ll have to take it back from you, from you (Mm, ooh) I’m not the gas in your fast car I’m not spark at the end of your cigar I’m not the water you keep your yacht on Mm, I’m not your wallet, huh, your black card (Ooh) You’re holding me back while I’m holding you up But you’re not so tough, not so tough, not so tough

(Ooh) When your compass breaks, where’re you gonna go? If the dawn won’t break, who’s gonna get you up? Never forget, I love you like rain in the river, together again Never forget, I love you like rain in the river, together, together again (Ooh) When you called my name, all of the stars woke up When I see my fate, it’s my heart in the center, you’re in the center Never forget, I love you like rain in the river, together again Never forget, I love you like rain in the river, together, together again (Ooh) Everything feels like it’s crumbling We could wait it out til morning Everything feels like it’s crumbling We could wait it out til morning We could wait it out til morning (Ooh) We’ll wait it out til the morning Never forget, I love you like rain in the river, together again Oh we’ll wait it out til the morning Never forget, I love you like rain in the river, together, together again

Yehenna 04:53
Caught inside familiar spaces You’re a different kind of torture, a rock in my chest Grab my eyes, pry them open That’s the only difference between waking up and seeing you again I couldn’t run (for cover) How long have you waited for me here? We’re trapped inside (together) If you reach out for me, I’ll reach back and Break it up (watch me grip back this dream) Break me out (you won’t have to chase me down) Break it over and over again if I have to Break it over and over, over and over again It’s getting colder with your fingers ‘round my neck That’s the way it started, but that’s not how it ends There’s a part of me that needs both of us to exist I didn’t want it to be like this; that’s just the way it is I couldn’t hide (forever) Pushed me so many times that you shook me awake We’re trapped inside (together) This time I’ll turn to you, I’m reaching back to Break it up (watch me grip back this dream) Break me out (you won’t have to chase me down) Break it over and over again if I have to Break it over and over, over and over again It always starts in the darkest corner Drive me out then hit reset My hair stands up and I feel your breath But this time I’ll pull you over the railing And we’ll fall to the earth together Pinch myself (pinch myself) I can’t flip the switch (I can’t flip the switch) Moving the room around (moving the room around) Climbing up the well Pinch myself (pinch myself) Floating over the bed (floating over the bed) I can’t flip the switch (I can’t flip the switch) We’re climbing up the well
