CHORUS
Tell me when the hell am i gonna get paid
Cuz I’m overdue to throw it down the drain
And I know you're never gonna appreciate me
But that shit was due yesterday
And I got my tabs to pay
When am I gonna get paid
V1
I line pockets that ain’t mine
Zoomin out my mind
What’s the use, where the hell am i
Woke up sick today
I turn up anyway
As if I even have a choice
PRE
I make your world go round
While you sit and drown me out
But you’re gonna hear me now
CHORUS
Tell me when the hell am i gonna get paid
Cuz I’m overdue to throw it down the drain
And I know you're never gonna appreciate me
But that shit was due yesterday
And I got my tabs to pay
When am I gonna get paid
V2
My balance is bare
I don’t have a prayer
Work my fingers to their bones
Screw it, this ain’t fair
I'm leaving this nightmare
Until you give me what I’m owed
PRE
I make your world go round
While you sit and drown me out
But you’re gonna hear me now
CHORUS
Tell me when the hell am i gonna get paid
Cuz I’m overdue to throw it down the drain
And I know you're never gonna appreciate me
But that shit was due yesterday
And I got my tabs to pay
When am I gonna get paid
M8
Gimme all that money
I ain't tired for no reason honey
Us out here, we ain’t treated right, it ain’t funny
Got no time for anything you say
Less talkin’ and more pay
CHORUS
Tell me when the hell am i gonna get paid
Cuz I’m overdue to throw it down the drain
And I know you're never gonna appreciate me
But that shit was due yesterday
And I got my tabs to pay
When am I gonna get paid

Late Night Swim
04:35
|
|||
V1
Stay there
Sunlight on your shoulder
Sit still
Love me when we're older
That orange slice on your lips
I could get used to this
CHORUS
Late night swim
I'm ready so
Push me in
Kiss me in the deep end
And when we hit the bottom
I'll hold my breath
I'll hold my breathe
We're deep in this
So I'll hold my breath
V2
Lie low
Glide along the water
Speak slow
When we get to the altar
A golden band, a rubber ring
I could get used to this
Midnight
Tip toe on the tiles
Ice wine
Lie with me for a while
I've struck gold, I reel you in
I'm just not used to this
CHORUS
Late night swim
I'm ready so
Push me in
Kiss me in the deep end
And when we hit the bottom
I'll hold my breath
I'll hold my breathe
We're deep in this
So I'll hold my breath

Somewhere past the finish line
I can find you watching from the stands
I've been living lonely nights
But now I’m getting back to who I am
PRE

Let’s make them scared
CHORUS
Move up now
Don’t slow down
Cuz they’ll close in on you
Move up now
Don’t slow down
Cuz they’ll close in on you

I can be a cannonball
Don’t give it a second thought
I’m not here to lose it all
I won’t give them what they want
PRE
Let’s make them sweat
Let’s make them scared

Move up now
Don’t slow down
Cuz they’ll close in on you
Move up now
Don’t slow down
Cuz they’ll close in on you

Step it up
Hold my drink
Don’t give up
Stand by this
Push me now I need this

Cuz they’ll close in on you

Day-to-Day
03:05
|
|||
V1
My shoes have been by the door
They’ve been wondering why I’m still here
New coat has never been worn
I’ve been aching to leave since last year
PRE
Since we’re out again
Like we never left
I got something to say
CHORUS
Will you be my day-to-day
Hold me in that special way
Meet me on the outside
Make up for lost time
Just be my day-to-day
V2
We leave our shoes in the sand
I’ve been wondering where you’ve been
I put your head in my hands
You’ve always stayed with me somehow
PRE
Since we’re out again
Like we never left
I got something to say
CHORUS
Will you be my day-to-day
Hold me in that special way
Meet me on the outside
Make up for lost time
Just be my day-to-day
PRE
I can’t be without you again
Let me give you love
I can’t be without you again
Missed out on enough
CHORUS
Will you be my day-to-day
Hold me in that special way
Meet me on the outside
Make up for lost time
Just be my day-to-day

Moving Day
03:43
|
|||
V1
Pack up the boxes with all our mistakes
Wrap it and bind it in tight cellophane
Carve it in side with your knife
This belongs in the river
Leave what you want in our old fireplace
I’ve come prepared with the matches we saved
From nights at the bar, fighting hard
Light it up, let’s forget her
It’s never felt better
CHORUS
Knowing we’re not okay
It's time to start again
Leaving the world we know
But come moving day we’ll be so ready to go
V2
Keys in the bowl, guitar on your back
Take one last look at the stories we had
Friends on the wall, dancing here in the hall
But whatever
Between all the floorboards we never repaired
The past finds a way to remind us again
It gets through the cracks, can’t relax
And you just deserve better
Just want to forget her
CHORUS
I know we’re not okay
I’ts time to start again
Leaving the world we know
We’ve gotta let it go
Oh and despite it all
We’re breaking through the wall
It was so long ago
And come moving day we’ll be so ready to go
M8
Loaded the boxes
Goodbye fireplace
Keys in the bowl
And the floorboards can wait
Hold my hand tight and we’ll just drive away
Loaded the boxes
Goodbye fireplace
Keys in the bowl
And the floorboards can wait
Don’t lose your grip and maybe we can start again
CHORUS
I know we’re not okay
I’ts time to start again
Leaving the world we know
We’ve gotta let it go
Oh and despite it all
We’re breaking through the wall
It was so long ago
And come moving day we’ll be so ready to go

V1
Ahead of the game
Making your own way
Don’t hesitate to
Put them in their place
There on the train
Tie up your shoelace
Ready up cuz
You’re gonna get your way, get your way
PRE
Oh don’t you quit x3
Make them know your name
This is it x2
CHORUS
But in your head
You know what you want then it’s gone
Never there
You’re here, then you’re not
And you know
You come and go
V2
Getting in late
Drowned by a new day
Never changes
All these faces stay the same
PRE
Oh don’t you quit x3
Make them know your name
This is it x2
CHORUS
But in your head
You know what you want then it’s gone
Never there
You’re here, then you’re not
And you know
You come and go
M8
You never try
Make up your mind
You come and go
CHORUS
But in your head
You know what you want then it’s gone
Never there
You’re here, then you’re not
And you know
You come and go

Burden
04:26
|
|||
V1
Can’t stop shaking
I’m a dumpster waiting
To explode on fire
Any second, babe
Tired and broken
All these words unspoken
I’m not ready
To open the gates
PRE
Wait x2
I might need a little help
I’m no good at reaching out
Wait, wait up now
CHORUS
I don’t wanna be a burden, babe
I don’t wanna kill the words you say
I’m not ungrateful
Just unstable and ashamed
I don’t wanna be a
Burden, burden, burden x3
Cuz you can’t carry me
V2
Deep breath in and
While these shadows spin
Around the walls
Take all
Of my emptiness
Words so heavy
But my heart won’t let me
Pull you in
Unfair
You don’t need this stress
PRE
Wait x2
I might need a little help
I’m no good at reaching out
Wait, wait up now
CHORUS
I don’t wanna be a burden, babe
I don’t wanna kill the words you say
I’m not ungrateful
Just unstable and ashamed
I don’t wanna be a
Burden, burden, burden x3
Cuz you can’t carry me

Little Villains
03:50
|
|||
V1
Static in the living room
Sunday morning at my door
I just wanna sit with you
I don’t go to church no more
Football where they park their cars
Headlights out, there’s the alarm
Climb a tree and make it ours
Nettle rashs on your arm
CHORUS
Ring the bell
Ready to run
Little villains
Just for Fun
V2
Shout up to my balcony
Drag our knuckles around the block
Only one that’s nice to me
Pretend we’re older but we’re not
Trolley stranded on our street
Hijack it, push me round
Both our clothes are never clean
Scuff our shoes along the ground
CHORUS
City streets
Ready to burn
Little villains
Never learn
M8
When I look back, you come rushing in
Little villains back again x 4
CHORUS
Ring the bell
Ready to run
Little villains
Just for Fun
City streets
Ready to burn
Little villains
Never learn

I Dare You

V1
I’m a lightning bolt coming for you
Deadset on the road I'm running to
So let them do their worst, I bet they lose
When the morning comes I’m ready to move
CHORUS
See what I do
I dare you x2
V2
Feels like I’m on fire, everglow
Bulletproof, I’ll take on every blow
Try your very best to break the code
Cuz there's pieces of me you could never know
CHORUS
See what I do
I dare you x2
Fair warning, I’m coming through
Moving on is overdue
See what I do
I dare you x2
M8
Bring on, bring on, bring on
Bring on, bring on anyone
x2
CHORUS
See what I do
I dare you x2
Fair warning, I’m coming through
Moving on is overdue
See what I do
I dare you x2

V1
Come play in the valley with
Oh don’t you leave
I don’t like it at all when things change
I’m nowhere close to perfect
I'm so sorry
If you go leave life would get so damn strange
Don’t you even try
CHORUS
Cuz I don’t wanna say goodbye
I don’t wanna say goodbye
We flew too close to the sun
So don’t undo the work we’ve done cuz I
I don’t wanna say goodbye
V2
Ashamed of the part of me
That let this happen
Still some things that I can’t understand
But if you stick around
I’m still up for the challenge
Cuz you’ve made me the person I am
No more tears to cry
CHORUS
Cuz I don’t wanna say goodbye
I don’t wanna say goodbye
We flew too close to the sun
So don’t undo the work we’ve done cuz I
I don’t wanna say goodbye
M8
Maybe words can’t help no more
But no harm if I try
I’ll keep saying sorry for it all
Forever, I x2
CHORUS
Cuz I don’t wanna say goodbye
I don’t wanna say goodbye
We flew too close to the sun
So don’t undo the work we’ve done cuz I
I don’t wanna say goodbye
x2
