All the Worst Things
02:53

I wish I was drunk enough to call you
You could tell me how this ends
Yeah, I could talk to you for hours and
not hear a single thing you’ve said
Baby, I just need to hear you miss me
even if it brings me down
Yeah, I need all the worst things I can get right now
I think I’ll go drive around tomorrow
till I find you out somewhere
and you’ll have found someone just like me
only taller and less scared
Baby, I just need to see your face drop
when you spot me in the crowd
Yeah, I need all the worst things I can get right now
I need all the worst things, baby
I wish I had something I could tell you —
crashed my car or sick in bed —
and you’d come running back beside me
just to hold me till the end
Maybe I’d be yours for just a moment
till they finally lay me down
Yeah, I need all the worst things I can get right now

All the Best Intentions
03:53
|

It was the last thing I remembered
Yeah, I think that’s right, that night
I caught you throwing back at the bar
and what were the last words that I told you?
Something cruel as usual
I just wanna see that you still care
And when all my friends call
it’s the worst things that I never mention
I’m gonna work this all out someday
I’ve got all the best intentions
So shut up, come over
I’ve been waiting for too long
Yeah, I’ll have righted every wrong
by the time that you’re through
Shut up, come over
What’s the worst one more could do?
And I bet you’re gonna miss me too
by the time that I’m through
by the time I get through to you
by the time that you’re
picking up all the pieces off the bathroom floor
Well, how could you ask for more?
It was the last thing I remembered
till I came to at noon
with last night pounding holes in my head
I wished for the past
cut class, watched TV
Out of sight and mind and up until my phone finally died
And when all my friends call
it’s the worst things that I never mention
I’m gonna work this all out someday
I’ve got all the best intentions
So shut up, come over
I’ve been waiting for too long
Yeah, I’ll have righted every wrong
by the time that you’re through
Shut up, come over
What’s the worst one more could do?
And I bet you’re gonna miss me too
by the time that I’m through
by the time I get through to you
by the time that you’re
picking up all the pieces off the bathroom floor
Well, how could you ask for more?

Monsters
02:57
|

I was peering through the dark when you said
“Babe, what are you doing?”
I just waited for a moment
I was sure something was moving
“I was just looking for monsters”
I said lamely as you left
and padded down the moonlit hallway
and back into our bed
And I’m sure you don’t believe me but I see them everywhere
They’ve been drinking all the whiskey and whispering in my ear
And I’m sure you don’t believe me but I promise that’s the truth
Tell me, darling, would you leave me if you knew
all the little things I do?
“Babe, come back to bed”
I heard your voice from down the hall
so I crept back beneath the covers
and watched the shadows on the wall
And lying there beside you
I could see them in the room
Well, just wait a little while, babe
You’ll start to see them too
And I’m sure you don’t believe me but it’s just to show I care
I’ve been drawing in my demons just to keep you from your share
And I’m sure you don’t believe me but I promise that’s the truth
Tell me, darling, would you leave me if you knew
all the little things I do?
Yeah, the little things I do

Creature Comforts
02:58
|

It’s kinda nice to be held
I am thinking to myself now as she wraps her arms around me
It’s been a while since someone’s sat with me like that
It’s been a while since I have sat and looked at all that I have had
instead of what I haven’t got
I’ve not forgotten
that I am yours and yours alone
I am thinking to myself now that you’re gone
and I could sleep my way through mornings looking back
or I could sleep with someone new and know an empty satisfaction now
For what’s it’s worth
they’re just creature comforts
and they are mine and mine alone
It’s kinda nice to be selfish
I am thinking to myself, no
I am wringing out the worst of us
It’s been a while since you have looked at me like that
It’s been a while but I can smile now looking back and knowing I’m still in there
tearing you in two
just trying to remind you
that you are mine and mine alone
Yeah, you are mine and mine alone
Don’t you forget it

Just a Minute
02:45
|

Just a minute, I’m sorry
Guess my mind was somewhere else for a sec
Can you remind me of the last thing you said?
Oh yeah, that’s right
Well, why would you think I’d mind?
Just a minute, I promise
Guess my thoughts split for a second there
Can you remind me why you thought that I’d care?
Oh yeah, that’s right
Well, that what I had in mind
but didn’t I play it cool for a while?
Just a minute, one more thing
I guess I’ve got some things that I’d like to say
like what made you think that this would all be okay?
I mean, what do you take me for?
I didn’t mean what I said before
I know that I played it cool for a while
but I just need a minute now to let it all out
Just a minute, I’m sorry
Yeah, I’m not sure what that was all about
Sometimes I talk when I should shut my mouth
Okay, that’s fine
Well, I just had to try
But did you think I was cool for a while?
I was cool for a while

After All
04:38
|
|||
Well, I’m wrapped around your finger
at least until we fall apart
But something of you lingers
after all
I write these when I’m lonely
You know the way I tend
and I hope that you’re still thinking of me
after all
And, truth be told, I don’t think much about it
No, I don’t think much about us
after all
It’s been half a year now without you
I kinda hoped that it’d be worse
But know that I still think about you
after all
