Parentheses 03:19
let's go out & see a movie just the two of us i've got your number do you want to see me as much as i do you but you never call me you're driving me crazy pulling on my heartstrings & you've got me wondering if i've just been dreaming about this whole damn thing i don't want to say i love you in parentheses if you wanna little love all i've got to give is all of me you know that i'm just a fool for love it's clear to see you're pulling me along, but oh girl that's just alright with me late at night & you're keeping me up when i'm thinking of you baby got your smile burnt right into my head & the taste of your kiss
2.
Infatuation 03:11
she perforates my dappled soul like shadowed concrete filled with holes of sun on summer shade 'cause everywhere i see her face her voice sings almost everyday accross the promenade i told my friend he said "hey man, are you strung out on a girl again? she's gonna drive you 'round the bend i guess you'll never learn" it's infatuation this isn't love i don't know how she makes me feel like everything is so surreal when her eyes meet with mine she's got me like an ocean tide she pulls the currents of my mind to every low and high oh come on now you smitten fool if ideations could love too you wouldn't be alone would you i guess you'll never learn

i am a wayward fog lost in the ocean i am a summer cloud passing above you a morning dewdrop a dogwood blossom i'm the song you sing when walking alone i am the neighbor's dog chasing your kitten i am the woollen sock that you are missing your brand new six-string your melted ice cream the moon shining over your head in the dark mm these melodies beat to the heart of a living room clock mm but we never notice except when the music has stopped i am the wrinkled bark worn by a willow i am the christmas card under your pillow Mmmmm(?) the mist in the morning when you walk to school so play them once more the song you sing when you're alone the moon shining over your head

Oh Weird One 02:54
lying next to you i'm a mess i'm a fool take what you want from this storm in your arms oh i just wanted you to know somethings goin on can't put my finger on it yet got that look in your eyes that look that messes with my head oh i just wanted you to know night is a fog i get the lost by your shores keep me away before i crash on your rocks
5.
i plug and chug these numbers in quantum mechanics makes no sense when i think of you i'm in a cave of great machines but they always put me to sleep when I think of you derive & prove a complex function of your mood but it never really gives me any data i wish i could write some code to find a way to let you know about the large hadron collider in my heart late night at Hayes i'm fading quick real analysis just makes me sick when i think of you there is a black hole inside this room i get the feeling that i'm doomed when i think of you
6.
Brother 03:30
my brother took me up into the hills we walked beneath the stars accross the fields do you see the sunset-draped cityscape so far away? come take my hand let's walk into the dark and never stop if you lose your way i'll be near calling your name my brother don't be scared it's just the wind my brother don't be scared you've got me here do you see the sunset-draped cityscape so far away? come take my hand let's walk into the dark and never stop if you lose your way i'll be near calling your name

Game Theory 03:02
黑夜中, 在半醒的梦 你在我身边, 看着我眼睛 月亮下, 河水的流动 都向我呤, 我动荡的感情 为什么当我在你旁边的时候 我心要说的事每一次都说不出口 怕说我爱你只会带来一个句号 这爱是博弈论 发短信,符号传达的表情 是不是太直接,还是太过肤浅 我以前以为 爱会是简单的事 但你的眼睛 真是扑朔迷离

Dear Karl 03:19
i'm sorry Karl, i haven't read the news today 'cause all I want to do is hitch a ride & travel far away upon the highway's glittering light towards the sunset's golden blaze into the lush and lusty wild where i will find a quiet place to be exactly where i want to be is there another war raging somewhere accross the sea? i guess we're all just deaf and blind inside the belly of the beast amidst the chaos of the modern world where nobody is safe because a million things could kill your best dreams by the break of day that's why i'm going where i want to be just when i thought i knew it all so well just when i thought i had it figured out i heard the calls for revolution I read the history books they gave where is the cure and resolution what do these words mean on the page
9.
Sometimes 03:50
for every page i write i always tear another out because the words don't look the same way anymore they're strangers left forlorn in scribbles floundering about between the blue lines just like tiny thunderstorms i spot a moving figure on the threshold by the door you're there for just one or two seconds & you're gone i trace your muddy footprints out into the early morn & let myself melt into the vermillion sun oh those eyes are like the sun sometimes i see you blinking through the branches of the pines oh it kills me on the empty nights when the dusk fades into darkness & i'm bleak inside a little place like spider webs spun on the ceiling light is where my fleeting spirit's hiding from my mind just trying to fight this helplessness behind the bedroom blinds on summer days when beatific visions shine but i spot a moving figure on the threshold by the door you're there for just one or two seconds & you're gone i trace your muddy footprints out into the early morn & let myself melt into the vermillion sun sometimes I don't know what this means

Leberkäse 02:52
Leberkäse warum heissen Sie so warum heissen Sie so, Leberkäse? Ich verstehe nicht Sie sind weder Leber noch Käse, NOCH KÄSE Leberkäse warum heissen Sie so warum heissen Sie so, Leberkäse? Das macht mich ganz verwirrt Ich hab Käse ewartet Leberkäse, SIE SIND KEIN KÄSE
