Remember when you told me, it’s time to say goodbye, so bye bye. I’ve got nothing but good memories, now that’s a lie Wondering when it comes crashing back, it always does. Wondering what this song needs, maybe just more fuzz Watching my life drift by, feeling numb Nothing seems to matter anymore, and it’s so dumb Wondering how it’s gonna blow up, and when Wondering how we’re gonna get out of this mess again I want to know how you get behind It’s a downhill climb Because you don’t believe in reality And your facts are hazy I’m not gonna try to change your mind I haven’t got the time Because you don’t believe in science And that’s batshit crazy. And I don’t know how I’m gonna get through I want to know how you get behind It’s a downhill climb Because you don’t believe in reality And your facts are hazy I’m not gonna try to change your mind I haven’t got the time Because you don’t believe in science And that’s batshit crazy. I don’t want to see this world go blind But we’re running out of time And I don’t know if we’ll ever get it But it’s time to get it time

I see you walking with your new boyfriend His name is Josh, “oh hi josh.” You’re going to the beach this weekend? Oh, cool, have a great time! Just don’t ask me to get a coffee or a drink I’m not as cool with this as you’d think A fake smile, “nice meeting you!” as I slink Back to my apartment I saw your post on instagram You and Josh in Sao Paulo I’m not obsessed, I don’t give a damn I just forgot to hit unfollow Just don’t ask me to reminisce the good times I’m smiling but I could use a lifeline God damn, Josh has a perfect hairline I’ll head home and have a good cry But I know tonight, what I should feel inside A little part of me died I guess I can be happy that you’re happy I guess I can be fine that you’ve moved on I guess I can get over that you’re not gonna be miserable forever I guess I can be an adult about this I guess I can decide that I don’t care I guess I can cry, don’t cry, don’t care, don’t look, whatever Take a minute, to look at it through my shoes I’m mixing metaphors I’m so confused I’m trying to take charge, put on a good face I’m processing that I’ve been erased But I know tonight, what I should feel inside A little part of me died I guess I can be happy that you’re happy I guess I can be fine that you’ve moved on I guess I can get over that you’re not gonna be miserable forever I guess I can be an adult about this I guess I can decide that I don’t care I guess I can cry, don’t cry, don’t care, don’t look, whatever (repeat)

I don’t want to face the world today And tomorrow can be delayed I just want to stay in bed and dream away It’s getting too hard to stand up straight Yeah maybe I could lose some weight But I’ve got this urge to procrastinate And maybe you know a little bit about it And maybe you know a little bit of fear Maybe you’d understand but I kind of doubt it Cause if you could understand you’d still be here Don’t dick me around, today I’ve had about all I can take And the tape holding he together could break I think the room started spinning, around I think I’d better go lie down Cause the vertigo’s kicking my ass to the ground And maybe you know a little bit about it And maybe you feel that it’s coming near Maybe you’d understand but I kind of doubt it Cause if you could understand you’d still be here I was a nobody in my past life I’m a nobody in this life, too It’s not a tragedy to be a little quiet, to be a little weird It’s not a tragedy to care And maybe you know a little bit about it And maybe it’s coming all too clear Maybe you’d understand but I kind of doubt it Cause if you could understand you’d still be here

What’s that we’re coming to? Is it me or you? Just fifteen minutes to go This is this is a breakdown This is this is a breakdown This is this is a breakdown This is this is a breakdown This is this is a breakdown This is this is a breakdown What’s this we’re coming to? Is it a wall to break through? We’re fifteen minutes late This is this is a breakdown This is this is a breakdown This is this is a breakdown This is this is a breakdown This is this is a breakdown This is this is a breakdown

Would you come back from the dead, for me? Would you tell Osiris to let us have this? And steal a few more days above Would you let me go ahead, and see? Would you beg Persephone to have some pity? And send us back through Hell, with love. Spin another side of this debate Cuz 33 plus 45 is 78 Spin another tale away Wake up on the other side of the day Can we get a second chance get a retake? Under different circumstance, to make the same mistakes? And face the truth in the glass Before we’re looking at the other side of the grass Would you steal another hour, or two? Or trade our souls in for one more good sin And spend eternity in pain. Spin another side of this refrain. Cuz there’s a time bomb somewhere lodged inside my brain Dance another day away Make up with your enemies and stay Can we get a second change, get a retake? Under different circumstance, to make the same mistakes? And face, the truth, in the glass. Before we’re looking at the other side of the grass. 1-2-3 It’s time to waste our time With stupid rhymes And lead some rev-er-ies It’s time to spend some dimes And commit some crimes And make some mem-or-ies (repeat, with some chant over top? (use your third eye to spot some good buys, take your sweet time with difficult lies, call your best friend and have some good cries, stay out all night and watch the sun rise)

Faced with something you can’t know Could you come clean Trace your angel wings in snow Are you machine It’s a long night and I’m on edge It’s the daylight coming on It’s the first time in a long time And my eyesight’s turning off, la la la Take a piece of my soul before you go, It’s alright Make peace with your black hole and know That it’s too bright It’s a long night and I’m on edge It’s the daylight coming on It’s the first time in a long time And my insight’s turning off, la la la Tell a stranger that you care about anything Can we exchange our information since we can’t sing Faster than glaciers, we are moving to the death wing It’s in our nature to be grateful, that we don’t swing It’s a long night and I’m on edge It’s the daylight coming on It’s the first time in a long time And my eyesight’s turning off, la la la

We’ve been hanging out for a while. I think we’re having a good time I like your jokes I like your smile. A couple of partners in crime But, I know how it looks. I know how it feels I know our friends are spinning their wheels But I know that you know the deal I’ve got no idea what’s next. You know I think that’s just fine Spending time it’s not complex. I’m picking up on your signs. But I know how it goes. And it’s pretty clear I know our friends are spinning their gears But I know that you know the deal I know what I like. And I like you And I know that you said you like me too I know that you know the deal We’re in the friend zone. And it’s exactly where I want to be And I’ve never ever felt so free, To be me, you see We’re in the friend zone. And I’m happy to be here with you Cause every day is something new. To do, it’s true And we’re feeling it like plate tectonics The only love that makes sense is platonic And we’re moving through life, supersonic Yeah we’re moving on Friend zone. Cook outs and high fives Friend zone. It’s the best time of our lives Fiend zone. And everyone thinks that we’re weird Friend zone. Mixtapes and headphones Friend zone. I can feel it in my bones Friend zone. It’s a love that they should all cheer But I know where I stand. And you stand here Ready to trek that next frontier And I know that you know the deal We’re in the friend zone. And it’s exactly where I want to be And I’ve never ever felt so free, To be me, you see We’re in the friend zone. And I’m happy to be here with you Cause every day is something new. It’s true

You feel like running down everyone in your sight But you’d give up the crown to stay out of the light You need to make the scene, you got the invite But no one really cares, if you go out tonight. You got to do it for yourself, forgot what fun’s like But at the karaoke bar your ex is on the mic And the bar-ten-der’s a dick, so take a hike But then the song hits the air and you’re all like Don’t sleep on this beat Get your ass outta your seat You might feel in com plete But don’t believe it Tell your brain to go fuck off Make sure your cocktail’s a Molotov And when you’re fire you make the assholes cough Better believe it. You see the newspaper, it makes you want to hide They took our country out for a joyride (crash sound effect?) And we’re all fighting with each other from the same side We’re gonna blow our shot when we collide We’re gonna do it to ourselves, that’s why it really hurts Nobody wants the blame, we get our just desserts As we bury ourselves in funny t-shirts And when we take the test, we’re all introverts Don't sleep on this beat... When you’re going out, that shit takes its toll But you’re going out, you’re on a roll Sick of going out, might lose my soul Sick of going out, might lose control Don't sleep on this beat....

about

'You've Got a Way With Murder' is kind of an experiment in pop music. It started out as a waste basket for songs from other projects, but became something else. Fun and silly, but with some surprises as well.
