“Don’t Go”
I’ll block your path/Throw myself on the floor/At your feet/Between you and the door
“Morning Already”
Well, would you look at that/The world’s no longer flat/I know where the door is/And I can breathe
“The Last Straw”
And the last time somebody pushed me too far/Was the last time they pushed me too far/But if you want to try it, go on ahead/You’ll find out how sorry you are
“You Ought to See My Heart”
I’ve never seen it but I just know / It shines, it beams, it gleams, it glows / It’s my most beautiful part / So, you ought to see my heart
“Beyond Repair”
Like a priceless antique / That’s been dropped at our feet / You and I are beyond repair
“I Miss You (Little Liar)”
Now the you I see / Is only in my dreams / Mysterious anagrams / You don’t know who I am
“Shout out to my Friends”
I’d like to send a shout out to my friends, my heroes / You may not be blood relatives. I love you as dear, though
“I Just Want to See How Much I Can Drink”
It’s gonna be a long one guys / So get another order of fries
“I’m Never Going to St. Louis Again”
I’m not bringing much so I don’t have to pack / I’m gonna look every direction except back
“In a Lonely Place”
I’ll have a glass of red Lillet / And tell you all about my day
“You, my Mother (inspired by the writing of Nawaaz Ahmed)”
You don’t know this is the best it will ever be
“Shit, Motherfucker, Goddam”
Shit, motherfucker, fuck / I think I’m running out of luck
“I am the House”
I am the house, I am the woods, I am the beach / And you are me
“The Wiz”
‘Cause if you haven’t noticed I’m standing right here / With one more click of my heels I’ll disappear / I’ll leave the mean moving trees and the witches who doubt you / For a world full of love that I’ll find without you
“How it Feels”
You say I’ve never been in your position / So I’ll never understand the deal / Well, I have never died / But thanks to you, I know how it feels
