Jaws of Love. In the jaws of love, hold me tighter In the jaws of love, tear me apart It’s so hard to know what you should focus on How high you’re rising, or how hard you fall. In the jaws of love, you remember In the jaws of love, you can’t forget Where you were when you first were lifted up When you knew that you’d have to surrender. Ain’t it the life? Ain’t it what you wanted?
2.
All night running wild Swore we’d do it right Leave it all behind. Release all that guilt Every drink is gonna spill Just a little. Your love is all I need Your love is all I need When I can’t face the actions of A world I don’t believe Your love is all I see. I saw through the rain All Hawaiian plates Are a number short Well I don’t think there are Islands small enough For the both of us.

Lake Tahoe. 04:04
I put the red brick door-stop on the pedal of the piano so that it rings out every note You said you wanted to get away, well we’re here and you still wanna run away, what are you running from? Look out the window, all our friends are gone. They’re at the lake all singing to stay warm. They’re going like, “Oh oh oh oh oh” They give it all to be on fire. Can’t you feel it floating through the air? Grab it and don’t let go. Hold it and then you’ll know what it feels like to be young and know nothing. Fill your lungs up with something. I get a laugh when I try to have you repeat what you think is Spanish. I record it on my phone. We start a fire and can’t believe how many stars are outside of the city, We become amateur astronomers. Look out the window, all our friends are gone. Feels like forever that we’ve been alone. We’re going like, “Oh oh oh oh oh” We give it all to be on fire.

Microwaves 06:06
I called out your name You had your headphones on So when I thought my whole world was lost I forgot you always say Don’t look down. Laid in the backseat of my car Cedars-Sinai garage Through the phone I heard you say, “Repeat after me: Don’t look down.” We are always pretending The other would rather Be alone and suffering Like we’re staring at microwaves We know it’s too easy To pretend that when we fight We think we’re right but it’s a lie Cause we would die Without us. I don’t know I don’t know where the flower grows (no no I don't know) I’m only subservient To the powers around me (all I know is when I look into your eyes) All I know is I love ya (then I know) I love ya (then I know).
5.
Shrink... 02:59
We’re sown into the past With the strongest thread And I know how to cut it But I don’t bother I don’t bother I don’t bother I don’t bother I don’t. Keep it to yourself ’Til you explode. We’re sown into the past We’re sown into the past Again.
6.
Everything. 03:54
I see your face You had no calls for a week and you’re Counting the fingerprints on your phone While everyone else Is alive in the place that no one told you to go. We’re crawling past A crumpled heap of metal that is decorated with blue and red lights And I heard you say, “If we’re all gonna die than it doesn’t mean anything.” Doesn’t that make it mean everything? Doesn’t that make it mean everything to us? Doesn’t it make you want everything? Before they take away everything from us? Doesn’t it make you want everyone That you have ever loved something they know? Doesn’t it make you feel anything Is better than feeling nothing at all?
7.
I’m always thinking of you When I’m up this high I see me at your funeral I see you at mine I get embarrassed and rub my eyes This always happens every flight I see the plane going down Counting the seconds of my life. I want you to love me like I’m gone The way that I love you when you’re gone. I fast forward five years Got the place that we wanted You’re on the veranda painting Early morning, blurry eyes I knock the vase off the shelf Dog jumps, baby cries You just smile cause you know That things can break but we stay alive.
8.
I’m leaving you today I’m packing all my years away And I’m not even close So I’ve got to go. Before The hurting lands. I’m believing it will fade away As my pockets start to lose their weight And I’m as light as a balloon Rising high, naming rivers on the moon.
9.
Costa Rica. 03:24
Why don’t you believe me when I say, “I love you”? Why don’t you believe me when I say, “I care”? I’ve spent so much time with you How could I not care about you? As if blood was just as thick as the air I know you’re smart And you know that’s not fair. So why don’t you believe me when I say, “I love you”? And that all you need to see is that I’ll always be there If I did something to hurt you How could I have ever meant to? So poison helps to numb all the pain? I know you’re smart And you know that’s not fair. There’s a picture of me saving you From the tide in Costa Rica And I know if we’d been switched You would do the same for me.
10.
Nightlight. 05:39
In dreams we find All we’ve ever wanted Between flying cars And being on your favorite TV shows We get what we want We get what we want Until the bars let out And you realize you’re waking up. I’m your nightlight When every creak is out to tell you You’re not where you thought I’ll be here to help you You get what you want You get what you want So you can lie back down And know that I’m the one that you can count on. You know that I’m the one that you can count on You know that I’m the one that you can count on. I’m your nightlight I’m your nightlight.
