Aren’t you a boy

Who finds it easy

To fall in love

Aren’t I a girl

Who finds it easy

To fall in love with you

Every Little Caterpillar

You didn’t haveta ask me what I want

You didn’t haveta tell me to go find

Something thrilling, something capturing,

My butterfly mind,

Here we go again,

 

Take me, flip me over in your hands,

Cause I’ve been waiting, (waiting)

All this time to understand,

Take me, flip me over in your hands,

Cause I’ve been changing, (changing)

In to exactly what I am,

And it’s crazy,

That wings can sprout for every little caterpillar,

Now I fly. Now I fly.

 

You didn’t haveta tell me to watch the nets,

But you didn’t haveta make me learn the hard way,

How to fall into the night,

Sleeping on the outskirts,

Of my butterfly mind,

Here we go again,

 

Take me, flip me over in your hands,

Cause I’ve been waiting, (waiting)

All this time to understand,

Take me, flip me over in your hands,

Cause I’ve been changing, (changing)

In to exactly what I am,

And it’s crazy,

That wings can sprout for every little caterpillar,

Now I fly. Now I fly.

 

Chasing, the clouds, and the sun, and the stars,

Finding out where I can perch and watch it all,

I wonder how small I am compared to what’s out there,

Beating my wings faster cause what choice do I have?

 

Take me, flip me over in your hands,

Cause I’ve been waiting, (waiting)

All this time to understand,

Take me, flip me over in your hands,

Cause I’ve been changing, (changing)

In to exactly what I am,

And it’s crazy,

That wings can sprout for every little caterpillar,

Now I fly. Now I fly.

Nothing New To Say

Dust me off,

With your sandpaper voice in my ear,

Wipe me clean,

Cause I know how it goes,

When your nights get away.

 

Curl me up,

Like your morning news paper,

I got nothing new to say,

Anyway.

 

Fix me (x4)

Down the line, they’ve tried and failed.

Fix me. (x4)

Waste your time, in my mind,

Get lost in the hype,

Fix me.

 

Take me out,

Of the game I need a team to play.

Write me off,

In your head cause I’m on the way

To a place with a silk sunset backdrop.

 

Fix me (x4)

Down the line, they’ve tried and failed.

Fix me. (x4)

Waste your time, in my mind,

Get lost in the hype,

Fix me.

 

Did you see me,

Pre-meditation,

Pre-fixation,

With fixing the world,

Did you want me?

Post-semi-accidental

Push to the edge.

I got nothing new to say,

Anyways.

 

Fix me (x4)

Down the line, they’ve tried and failed.

Fix me. (x4)

Waste your time, in my mind,

Get lost in the hype,

Fix me.

Doorstep (Jennifer’s Song)

You don’t haveta let me in

Let me sleep on your doorstep, baby

Listen to you while you’re dreaming

Breathing heavy even when you’re sleeping

 

Laying on your doorstep,

How did you get so cold,

How did I get so loud,

Sleeping on your doorstep,

I don’t know if you’re home,

I’ve been hoping you’re alone,

Sleeping on your doorstep.

 

I promise,

I’ve missed you,

Real, real bad,

But make me swear that you’re the only one,

Who’s been sleeping in my head

 

Laying on your doorstep,

How did you get so cold,

How did I get so loud,

Sleeping on your doorstep,

I don’t know if you’re home,

I’ve been hoping you’re alone,

Sleeping on your doorstep.

 

Oh call me by my first name,

Cause by baby, should I know you mean me

Anymore, well do you still know my name?

You’ll go away, I’ll wait here,

You’ll find me with something I found to keep busy

 

Laying on your doorstep,

How did you get so cold,

How did I get so loud,

Sleeping on your doorstep,

I don’t know if you’re home,

I’ve been hoping you’re alone,

Sleeping on your doorstep.

 

I can’t tell you, how you’ve changed her,

You’re still a stranger,

But she cried tears in the rain, for you

On her doorstep she’ll be waiting,

For a love that’s worth the wait

 

Laying on your doorstep,

How did you get so cold,

How did I get so loud,

Sleeping on your doorstep,

I don’t know if you’re home,

I’ve been hoping you’re alone,

Sleeping on your doorstep.

Need

Keep me in your dysfunction

I want you in my ear

Keep me lost in your heaven

 

I’m burning at your feet

Tell me what you want, what you need

 

Hell dear, how have you been?

Since I saw you in my dreams,

Hello dear, how was she, yeah?

She’s better than I’ll ever be, believe me,

But she don’t need you,

I will need you,

When you need someone to need you

 

I’ll dance in your hands

Force air between your lips

She’ll leave you crawling

She’ll leave you broken

 

I’m burning at your feet

Tell me what you want, what you need

 

Hell dear, how have you been?

Since I saw you in my dreams,

Hello dear, how was she, yeah?

She’s better than I’ll ever be, believe me,

But she don’t need you,

I will need you,

When you need someone to need you

 

I’m lining up to kiss

From your toes up to your lips

I don’t care about first or second

I just wanna be one of your choices

 

I’m burning at your feet

Tell me what you want, what you need

I’m burning at your feet

Tell me what you want, what you need

 

Hell dear, how have you been?

Since I saw you in my dreams,

Hello dear, how was she, yeah?

She’s better than I’ll ever be, believe me,

But she don’t need you,

I will need you,

When you need someone to need you

You need me to need you…

Drift

Didn’t I meet you under the bridge?

Opened myself, let me in your hands,

Now, how can you say I don’t know how to try

Made a wish on a sparkling star

Flew away, or fell so far,

Watch the trail go down your cheek,

Why can’t I make you fly?

 

I let the dust collect on this shelf,

On the film of my eyes,

I let my heart sit up there,

It’s my fault I drift and slide.
