I could be a watch dog no
I could be a parked car yeah
If you wanna park here
Go ahead, go ahead
I could be a watch dog no
I could be a parked car yeah
If you wanna park here
Go ahead, go ahead
You could go to parks or Parquet Courts with me
I would probably be sitting pretty with the
Knowledge that you're going to miss me
Pretty bad when we're done with this week
Otherwise I'll be with my Rosicrucians
Crusading but not that fucked up persuing
Lofty goals and executing plans intruding
Thoughts often put down by jokes and costumes.
Help me!
You see right through my disguise
When you ID me
Hope you realize I'm think bout you
3/4 of the time when I'm high
I could be a watch dog no
I could be a parked car yeah
If you wanna park here
Go ahead, go ahead
I could be a watch dog no
I could be a parked car yeah
If you wanna park here
Go ahead, go ahead
Hey can I park car on the street here
Really far from home don't even know how I got here
Can we go to Oval Park and sit on the swings?
Walk through town talking like teens
Even though you have now entered your twenties
I just did the math and I have spent
15% percent of my life with you, whoa
That's lots of my life with you, oh
I could be a watch dog no
I could be a parked car yeah
If you wanna park here
Go ahead, go ahead
I could be a watch dog no
I could be a parked car yeah
If you wanna park here
Go ahead, go ahead

Me & U
03:04
|
|||
|
I don't know shit this is just fake news
I could be alone or I could be with you
It wouldn't make a difference what you want me to do?
I'll be with you, I'll be with you.
You and I are
In the sky
For the most part
We could fly
We could fly
But we don't even try
Me, me and you, and
You and you and me and
Eva B:
A stupid flower
And me
A Lucky Bug
Eva B:
A fell well
And she brim with joy
And she dress well
Eva b:
Tuggin on my shirt sleeve
to dance in the bathroom
Or look at some stars

With It
02:42
|
|||
|
Walking to the store can be a lot to do
When you're stuck on the shelf
Already expired and
conditioned to hate yourself
Girls are spinning fire at the house shows that I go to
Lots of people talk, not a lot of people go through with it
But I wanna get with it
Or... be with it
Hehe, be with it
People look so funny when
They're wrapped up in their shit
I could be just like Tom Wolfe
Watching all of my best friends trip
I would like to be the laughing stock
Of some old one horse town
Can you please show me around?
I love this place, but I'm done with it.
Yeah
But I still wanna be with
And I wanna get with it in order to do that
Be with it
Athens, officially Athens–Clarke County, is a consolidated city–county and American college town in the U.S. state of Georgia. Athens lies about 70 miles (110 km) northeast of downtown Atlanta. The University of Georgia, the state's flagship public university and a Tier I research institution, is located in the city and contributed to its initial growth. In 1991, after a vote the preceding year, the original City of Athens abandoned its charter to form a unified government with Clarke County, referred to jointly as Athens–Clarke County.
And I wanna be with it

Hey2Me
03:04
|
|||
|
You are a god to me
It's odd how I can think that
When usually I'm like grounded as hell
You are an artist
And you really know your stuff
But I know that you don't know me all that well...
Well...
If I were different
I would probably be more chill about ir
But I am the way I am, hey,
If you wanna work with me
Then you should DM me
I mean come around and really say
Hey 2 Me
I stayed up really late
Then got up really early and
Started to make stuff like right away
That felt really good
Wish I was in the woods
And animals could talk
They would come up to me and say:
Hey 2 Me
If you want
To be cool
You should come
To my house
After school
After school
You should say
You should say
Hey 2 me
Hey 2 me hey...
You should say hey 2 me say
Hey 2 me!

Fondly
03:27
|
|||
|
You have a cool lighter but
Ask if you can use mine
I say "yeah of course," but
In the back of mind
I'm thinking "oh my god is this real life?"
"Bye, have good night
Hope you have a good time."
But then again back in the reaches of my psyche
Hoping that your night is getting slightly worse without me
Not because I want any part of you to feel crappy
I just hope there's part of you that's thinking of me fondly
Thinking of me fondly
I just hope there's part of you that's thinking of me fondly
Your shorts fit you like I fit notes from you in boxes
Boxes also where I keep the trinkets you deposit
In my hands when we are walking around and just talking
Talking about pain and things that we remember fondly
Fondly looking at you in large crowds and at the parties
Fondly constantly checking my phone when you're responding
To my texts I like when you receive my correspondence
When you text me back I know you're thinking of me fondly
It can be really hard to
Smile slyly looking at you
Being nervous sometimes looks cute
Thinking of me fondly
I just hope there's part of you that's thinking of me fond fond fondly
I could be a lot to handle
But I could make your day
If anyone else holds a candle
That'd be ok
Because I have more!
Thinking of me fondly

BLT's
01:45
|
|||
|
Is it weird if I stay here?
Is it weird if I don't?
I like things to be clear;
You don't wanna know
You wanna sit with me
Making BLT's all day
And that's alright with me
But I've got stuff to say:
I think it's weird you like me
And I really like you too
But when I come to see you
You stare across the room
Across the table,
Making BLT's
With me all day
And that's alright with me
Now I've said what I need to say

Brother
02:32

|
I love my brother like I love the rain
I love the rain I love my brother more
I love my brother like I love my name
My parents gave me both I'm saying thanks
My brother made me up
He taught me all the stuff he could
He took a nerd and made them
Cute and cool and nervous and amazed
I'm amazed he's far away
So often songs that play make him seems near?
Or idk
My brother'll beat you up
If you come talking fluff
His house was in movies
I was too and that's so moving
How he doesn't things just for me
A winning team a winning team
A winning team
My brother flies across America
In a painted Jeep Cherokee
I'm looking at the sun
Thinking he's next to me
I love my brother like I love the rain
I love the rain I love my brother more
I love my brother like I love my name
My parents gave me both I'm saying thanks

Wasted
01:36
|
|||
|
Time was wasted
Time was wasted
Time was wasted I was wasted too
I was strung out
I was bummed out
But we still hung out after school
Cut and paste it
Get complacent
And don't say how you feel
Time was wasted
I was wasted
Well that's just how I feel
I'm obsessed with high school things
It's getting really bad
Used to have a really dualistic
Impression of what's good and bad,
Fuck that!
Time was wasted
Time was wasted
Time was wasted

I was in a video
Of some people dancing at an Athens show
I mean a party no
Oh your were there too? Whoa
And things were moving slow
Listening to The Blow
Wait no, Mac Demarco
Then I slipped into your side
But for now that can just be and aside
I mean a footnote, wait
Didn't anticipate
For this to be this great
Start drinking liquor
Things start moving quicker
Then you slipped yourself into my side
But for now that can just be an aside
I mean a footnote, wait
Is this a book or a play?
Or a movie? IDK.
If it's a movie that's great
If it's a book or a play
If it's a movie that's great
If it's a book or a play
I was in a video
Of me basking in the moon's glow
Or was it sunlight wait
Man we stayed up so late
Talked about stuff we hate
You said that you were great
Didn't anticipate
For this to be this great
And I'm inclined to agree
You turned a two into three
And then a three into four
You got my shirt from the store
Guess that I'll paint you some more
Guess that I'll paint you some more
Is this a book or a play?
Or a movie? IDK.
If it's a movie that's great
If it's a book or a play
If it's a movie that's great
If it's a book or a play
The sky
Can literally b
So many wats
Tonite a once in lifetime
Twist on an old standard
"Half Moon
I feel like Dubuffett
With my thighs and calves brut
Casting shadows on shit
And my body feels like a very cold body
I forget I have a body
Until the moon becomes a mirror
For the whole stinkin planet like
U get one chance to check urself out
I hope the Earth is thinkin:
"Earth, you look good"

I'm a lightweight
Lightyears away
From the nearest lighthouse
It's ok
Like what our dear friend
Used to say:
"Guys I'm just happy to be OK!"
That's a misquote
I just hope you'll
Forgive me
I know you will
Like you did when
I broke through your skin
In the seventh grade
Won't happen again
No not again
It's really odd how I'm still your friend
Think about it all the time think about if it will end
It's really odd how much it can bend
And if it breaks, it doesn't really matter because
I'll be there,
Pick up the pieces and
Gently repair
I shatter things and then
We just don't care
Boo bada buh da
Guys I'm just happy to be here
Guys I'm just happy to be here
Guys I'm just happy to be here
Guys I'm just happy to be here
Guys I'm just happy to be here
Guys I'm just happy to be here
Guys I'm just happy to be here
Guys I'm just happy to be here
Guys I'm just happy to be here
Guys I'm just happy to be here

I Love You
04:02
|
|||
|
I go outside and look around and
I feel weird and so surrounded by
The things that I could
Write a song about
Right now I'm feeling overwhelmed,
It's nothing new I know myself
At least well enough to know
When I need to shout
And I need to shout
Just so I don't freak out
Yeah I need to shout
Since I entered the seventh grade
I knew I would be ok
Because in every blade of grass
You look at there's a golden rectangle
Smiling back at you
That's really cool
Sorry that I'm dropping out of school
I wish that I was not
But I am just a little baby
And I had to dip me toes
In the pool, yeah.
No I mean like really I need to shout...
Ahhh!
Sorry
But I need to shout
Just so I don't freak out
I need to shout
Yeah
I go outside and walk around
I breathe the air
I'm safe and sound
And even though the news
Was bad today I hope in vain
It comes around
A cat pops out
From behind a tree
What else is in store for me?
I can only think about it for so lond
Before I have to see!
And I have to see!
I love you I love you
I love you I love you
I love you I love you
Love thy neighbor
Love thy pet
Love yourself and
Don't forget to
Love plentifly
Love your enemies
Fuck it,
Love all your regrets!
Say: "I love you"
To your best friend
Like it was the most important thing
You've ever done
I love you I love you
I love you I love you
I love you I love you
I love you I love you
I love you I love you
I love you I love you
I love you I love you
I love you I love you
I love you I love you
I love you I love you
I love you I love you
I love you I love you
And don't forget I love you!
