I Came Out 02:39
I, I came out I came out here to talk to you I came out here to sing And say important things I came out of my house, I came out of the door I came out of the window, and I came out of the floor I came out of the lightning, and I came out of the rain I came out of the primordial ooze, and I came out of your brain So why, why, why are we arguing? 'Cause I came out of the primordial ooze, and I came out of your brain Yes I came out of the primordial ooze, and I came out of your pain I came out of the parlor, I came out of the den I came out of the movie, then went in again I came out of the ocean, I came out of the cave I came out of the fridge, and I came out of the grave I came out of the closet, where I keep my clothes And I came out of all that shit a long, long time ago So why, why, why are we arguing? 'Cause I came out of all that shit a long, long time ago Yes I came out of all that shit, and now I'm going home I came out of depression, I came out of the mud I came out of rejection, and I came out of your blood I came out the shadows, and I came out of the blue I came out of a vagina, and so did all of you So why, why, why are we arguing? 'Cause I came out of a vagina, and so did all of you Yes I came out of a vagina, and so did all of you Yes, you came out of a vagina You might not like it, but it's true Yes, you came out of a vagina And that's why I love you

It might be getting late to say what I'mma say But I'mma say it anyway I think that you should stay with me tonight Cancel your flight and be my roommate Everyday is a date You know I ain't too good a dog to beg So sit back and stretch out your legs I'll show you what real good taste is You'll be making the craziest faces But hey, don't worry, we don't have to go there in a hurry I know how to be patient, I'm a man of moderation And I know the quiet grace of laying, staring at the stars With a lover in my arms I've been hoping to paint your picture on my ceiling I've been scoping out places where I look good kneeling I've been trying to become the things you find appealing I've been dying to tell you all these things I'm feeling Maybe I'm a fool, maybe I don't have a clue Baby what to do, but when it comes to you Maybe I'm a fool, maybe I don't have a clue Ever what to do, but when it comes to you Fake it 'til you make it was my favorite thing to say But I got sick of masquerading, life was basically a play So I refrain from propagation and abstain from explanation If you must take a cliche, I'm not afraid to be seen naked By the vultures and the ravens rampaging our havens Katie loved the cadence when I sang for May Oversimplification, complicated relations It's a hard situation If it ain't fixed, don't break it even more By selling me short I've been warring with my demons just as long as you've been warring with yours Lord, send this message up to heaven like a prayer I'm questionably spending, but I swear one day I'll be there I've been screaming the poem you wrote across the ocean I've been dreaming of holding you close in a way you won't forget I've been fighting to understand these strange emotions I've been writing your first name with my last and that's no shit Maybe I'm a fool, maybe I don't have a clue Baby what to do, but when it comes to you Maybe I'm a fool, maybe I don't have a clue Ever what to do, but when it comes to you A hundred years have I been waiting, standing on a pin Watching like a hawk for your next incarnation Ever since time's beginning, I've been trying to make you grin I want us to be the stars in a far-off constellation Only fools rush in to love, that's common wisdom But only love can win, that's a true contradiction And you know they're co-existing, like humans and fish can If we never stop believing in Christmas, baby You've been hiding, not confiding something special in me Why conceal it, why don't you reveal it You know we're kindred beings Your soul and my soul are very old friends You know that's how it's always been You know it's ever gonna end So why not be lovers again 'Cause I've been longing to dial your number in the night-time I've been wanting to light your fire, have you been wanting to light mine I've been muddying my finest shoes getting into your sightlines I've been studying how to cook your favorite food, 'cause that's the type of guy I'm Maybe I'm a fool, maybe I don't have a clue Baby what to do, but when it comes to you Maybe I'm a fool, maybe I don't have a clue Ever what to do, but when it comes to you Yeah let me know when it comes to you But when it comes to you

You walked by With your new boy I never was your boy You waved hi I thought, oh god Are we gonna do that thing You introduced us to each other And I couldn't help but wonder What have you told him about me What have you not told me about him And what have I not told you about you And what have you taken the liberty to fill in With observation and intuition And what do you look like when you kiss him And what do you feel when you have sex And why did you not seem to think I was capable of those things I shook hands With your new boy He's not really that new I said it's Nice to meet you It wasn't really nice And then you shook hands with me I don't think we've ever done that before And we both knew that, so you hugged me But I didn't want to seem the way that we were And then he hugged me I don't like him I think he was a shallow choice for you And I'm very good at judging people Based on thirty seconds of interaction Can you please return the book to the library You checked out the only copy And the online catalog tells me That it's a fucking month overdue What is wrong with you Did you never think, hey maybe Someone else would like to read this play And have you never heard of late fees What are you made of money Also, why don't you love me

Bridget 03:11
I fell in love with you under the boardwalk With the crashing of the waves as a background It was the perfect place to sit and not talk And my memory jumped around with every sound With every sound I met you in a crowded hall, remember I was the kid in the leather coat Your eyes caught me leaning on the wall Within five seconds, you went and got my goat Yes, you've got my goat Oh Bridget, oh Bridget Oh woah Bridget, oh Bridget Oh woah I fell in love Later found out we had the same math class Girl I felt your eyes warming up the back of my head I must admit, I caught myself staring at your ass The day you turned around, my face turned cherry red Turned cherry red We had a conversation that went like this "Hey Bridget, I like you, you wanna go see a movie?" We saw a film that ended with a kiss And after that, we went and shared a smoothie We shared a smoothie It was the single best smoothie that I've ever had Because of Bridget, oh Bridget Oh woah Bridget, oh Bridget Oh woah I fell in love under the boardwalk It was the perfect place to sit and not talk And my memory jumped around with every sound Bridget, I think I love you Do you think you love me too If you do then say you do 'Cause I can't wait much longer, Bridget We're not getting younger, Bridget Six months later and your love could not be hotter And my favorite song plays every time you talk As you took your board and swam into the water I fell in love with you under the boardwalk I fell in love with you under the boardwalk I fell in love with you under the boardwalk

If I were a fish, and you were a fish, I would swim to your school everyday. Maybe I'd take you out for a dip in the air above the bay. Would you love me the same, or would you be ashamed to be so in love with a fish? Would you still sing me songs, or would you think it wrong to be so intimate with a fish? If I were a fish, and you were a fish, I would fish-kiss you on your fish-lips. I would lead you away from the hooks and the bait that those humans try to catch us fish with. Would you splash me with your tail? Would you rub your fins along my scales, or would you think it was weird that I was a fish? Would you believe me if I told you that you're so beautiful, or would you be disgusted with yourself as a fish? If I were a fish, and you were a fish, I would make you a bed to lay your fish-head. I would sing you lullabies and bring you anything you wished.

No one knows where all those weeks went After your freak accident Who were you trying to impress Was it the girl in the yellow dress Stole your mother's wedding band Off her bedside stand You planned to ask for her hand But nothing will ever be the same Tom and Jerry Huckleberry Scooby Dooby Doo And Winnie the Pooh The decorations on your walls Haven't moved at all since you were small A little space that ignores your fate In a frozen state where nothing's changed But still, nothing will ever be the same There's just one talk that you and I had You called me an asshole I called you a douchebag I told my mom you said bad words So she called yours Oh she was furious My angel, he could never lie But you know the truth, and so do I But then, nothing will ever be the same You were the first person that I ever knew who died It's all over, and I don't know why You were the one we had to lose Sometimes I wonder what it felt like Try to put myself in your shoes Familiar falling Slap of concrete Miscalculation It terrifies me God laughed his way to the bank I just know someone got rich off that bullshit 'Cause nothing will ever be the same Ever again

I bought a duck today I named him Chuck the duck I showed my friend the duck And he said what the heck I ate a cherry pit And thought no more of it But it made my stomach sick I had to take a Gas-Ex Words are so much fun I'd like to teach you some So you will not sound dumb When you talk to sluts
