Альбом Surfer Blood

Forget the second coming
I need you in the here and now
Instead of dreamin' up a way to
Spread your name across the world somehow

When you told me you were leavin'
I wasn't thirsty for revenge
No I wasn't disappointed much at all
Cause you'll be back again

If you're movin' out to the west
Then you'd better learn how to surf
The tide will break in on itself
There are no ghosts to exhume or unearth

If you're gonna do it then do it
Otherwise you just might lose your nerve
I swear that ocean it swallowed me fully
And it might have to follow you home

When you wake up in the morning
And you hear that awful applause
Put it in your f**kin' napkin
And watch it dissolve

You could seal it in an envelope
Tuck it away in your safe
But you can't take it to the bank
And you can't take it back

Quit hanging over me,
Look at the hair on the back of my neck.
Standing up on the rooftops,
Remembering everything she said.

Swim to reach the end,
But I am steady not to offend,
On whom can you depend?
Swim to reach the end.

Swim to reach the end (x4)

Lucid afternoon dream
Cosmopolitan scene.
Look at what's in store for me.
Heads will turn in disbelief.

Relish in your energy.
That's the line of symmetry. (x2)

Swim to reach the end,
But I am steady not to offend,
On whom can you depend?
Swim to reach the end.

Swim to reach the end (x4)

You and me could it be meant to be
Nothing's wrong when I'm with you
The ice in me is melting rapidly
Now I'm a believer too

Up all night I shiver with delight
Everytime I hear your song
I can't believe you're everything I need
Mama you can do no wrong

I wish I knew everything it takes to get along
Then we should take it easy or we will both be sorry
Then we should take it easy, take it easy
Or we both be sorry
Let's take it easy

Sometimes I think about what I would do without
Who knew we could be such friends?
Dreaming of your love and warm and touch
When can I see you again?

Up all night I shiver with delight
Everytime I hear your song
Dizzy with anticipation
How's everything coming along?

I wish I could do whatever it takes to get along
Then we should take it easy or we will both be sorry
Then we should take it easy, take it easy
Or we will both be sorry, or we will both be sorry

We could have been the best of friends
Now I'll never see this place again

So please don't wait
Don't wait for me to try and get it together
Please don't wait for me to be up here
'Cause I'm not here

'Cause I won't wait around for the grass to grow back now
I won't wait around for the grass to grow back now

Why think about it everyday
We knew to plainly walk away

And I won't wait around for the ice to thaw out now
I won't wait around for the heart to open, let me inside

And I won't ... oh oh
For your ... oh oh
And I won't wait around, oh oh
For you to figure it out

[Нет текста]

if i'd known all your ghosts
i never would have come so far
i spend too many hours
wondering who you really are

twin peaks and david lynch
met on your couch at syracuse
your sexual advances
are unconvincing and untrue
(unconvincing and untrue)

my lover's a carnivore
her body's an ivory casing
this whimsy has put me to sleep

why is everything a chore?
i'm too young to be defeated
let's make fun at the video store
with blue velvet and other titles


and i can't believe you at all
so you can keep your holiday spirit
it belonged to both of us
it belonged to both of us

now we need to redefine
tell me where to draw the line
close contact on the couch was fine
tell me where to draw the line

i know things could be different
if i were older and less afraid
you don't have to make excuses
i'm already on my way

twin peaks and david lynch
met on your couch at syracuse
your ? growing fainter
your humor's getting sour too

Come pick me up in the morning.
I know you've probably thought about it too.
Otherwise I'll never leave my oven.
My arms and legs they would grow soft with you.

Come pick me up in the morning
And we can find a hole to crawl into.
We're still pretending to be lightweights.
My arms and legs they would grow soft.

Behind his smile is nothing.
Long hair's a signal to the wandering eye.
Anytime I'll leave my coffin gladly.
My arms and legs they would grow soft and die.

Someone broke into my heart
Or beat it into my head.
Several hours to drive home,
Or fall asleep instead?

So think it over.
Just think it over, don't let me down.
So think it over.
Just think it over, I'll be around.

I'm still waiting for the day, Georgia, Georgia
I'm still waiting for the day, Georgia, Georgia

I'm not going home tonight, I've worked up some appetite
I'm just waiting for the day, Georgia, Georgia
Bridges gonna burn soon, guitars ring out in living rooms
I just need one special word, Georgia

Went to her apartment, man you should have seen the look on her face
Some of us like to stay up late, but I am still so wide awake
I don't want to tax my breath, or fall asleep in your caress.
I'm still waiting for the day, Georgia, Georgia

You better take some time to figure it out, 'cause if you don't you gonna do without
Take some time to figure it out, 'cause if you don't you gonna do without
Take some time to figure it out, 'cause if you don't you gonna do without
Take some time to figure it out, 'cause if you don't you gonna do without

If I knew you'd guard your heart so jealously, then I'd fight through
There's nothing in this joyless world to see, there are no places that are left to see
There's just the wilderness, it's shame
If I knew you'd push away so savagely, then I'd back off

So, take it easy on me
Take it easy on me
Take it easy on me
Take it easy on me
They lumped us into the same boat
Sinking on the same ship
Gasping with the same breath
They shout out with the same mouth
Whatever's deep inside me
Erupt from me entirely
Thaw me out completely
And I knew somehow I'd find you there and I'd be _______

I don’t want to spin my wheels
I don’t got no wheels to spin
Now I know you’re hanging out
With electric guitars, no doubt.

I don’t care for anyone
Probably not a lot of fun
You’ve got your own thing going on
In places you don’t belong

Could’ve been mine at the right time
And it seems like
We were alright

Meet me in Anchorage
That’s where the action is
There’s no nectar there for bees
Only flesh so wolves can feed

Alaskan wilderness
Old convicts slide away
First light at 3 am
I can smell the parsley stems

Some people can’t relate
And others have a lot to learn
I don’t want to spin my wheels
I don’t want to make my stomach squirm

If it feels right
At the right time we’ll work it out
We’ll be alright, I know, oh.

You’ve got a reputation
You know how to unwind
And you’ve got a reputation
For knowing how to reach your mind

I don’t want to spin my wheels
I don’t to let it all hang out
I just want to ……?

never could be still for long
and i could never hold a job
coupled with a weakness for cocaine and liquor
not much you can do for love

when i met you i broke the mold
i fell apart and combed my hair
whiskey shakes for ten whole days
stay off the streets at night for weeks

i don't wanna be your catholic pagan now that you're here
we're counting on each other for love, survival, and everything else

please don't padlock your parent's bomb shelter
or fill her up with dust and ash
a landfill mecca for burnouts
and listless adolescent sour mash

i'm not saying that i've earned love
but i could really use it now
so turn out the lights over and over and over
we'll figure out the rest somehow

i don't wanna be your russian bride not anymore
barack hussein obama would have a field day if he knew at all

sorry we have to go
have to go
