Can't Hang

And I can’t hang tonight
Just in case you might
Wanna see me and tell me you love me
Or cut the foreplay and maybe just fuck me
And i don’t have no cash
Or the nerve to ask
You to come out and just see a movie
It shouldn’t mean much, but it’s too big for me
Oh I just love how you make me smile
I love the light in your eyes, that’s as bright as a fire
And I wanna be your happiness too
And I just wish I could make me right
I could have the charm to take you out tonight
But I’ve made other plans to dream about you
And I can’t hang tonight
Oh, please don’t put up a fight
Cuz baby, baby, I know that you want me
Well maybe not, but there’s no harm in lying
I know sometimes I say I wanna die
But, in those moments I can’t stop reliving
I really wanna go and start living, yeah
I wanna live like I’m one of the normal, sociable guys that always get by
I wanna live like I’m one of the normal, sociable guys that always get by
Oh I just love how you make me smile
I love the light in your eyes, that’s as bright as a fire
And I wanna be your happiness too
And I just wish I could make me right
I could have the charm to take you out tonight
But I’ve made other plans to dream about you
And I can’t hang tonight
I can’t hang tonight
No kiss in the moonlight,
No perfect times in sight,
No fulfilling my appetite
Cuz I can’t hang tonight

I can't stand to get
Up and out of this bed
It's held me prisoner so long
And I think I got Stockholm Syndrome
I can't stand to pretend
That you even think of me as a friend
But I try and I try and I try
And truthfully I know the reason why
Cuz I am oh so lonely
And you are oh so pretty
I romanticize you up
Let's go and just get married
I'm a loner, I'm charisma
You're so perfect, you're abysmal
And I will fall asleep tonight
While you are with another guy
Can we just go and get
Some coffee from downtown Drip
Don't really like it too much
But I'm one away from a free cup
Sometimes I should just face it
I'm a better man when I'm wasted
But there's not enough beer in the world
To make me who you want me to be
Cuz I am oh so lonely
And you are oh so pretty
I romanticize you up
Let's go and just get married
I'm a loner, I'm charisma
You're so perfect, you're abysmal
And I will fall asleep tonight
While you are with another guy
OH
I'm getting stoned, not boned
On a Saturday night
And yet I still need a friend to
Roll the joint right
Can you spare to send
One text to me
On your phone all day yet
Can't keep a snap streak with me
(Oh, check me into Pencey Prep, haha)
Cuz I am oh so lonely
And you are oh so pretty
I romanticize you up
Let's go and make a baby
I'm a loner, I'm charisma
You're so perfect, you're abysmal
And I will fall asleep tonight
While you are with another guy
Cuz I am oh so lonely (I'm getting stoned)
And you are oh so pretty (Not boned)
I romanticize you up (On a Saturday night)
Let's go and just get married (Still need a friend to roll the joint right)
I'm a loner, I'm charisma (Can you sapre to send)
You're so perfect, you're abysmal (A text to me)
And I will fall asleep tonight (On your phone all day)
While you are with another guy (Can't keep a snap streak with me)
While you are with another guy (Can't keep a snap streak with me)

Big Framed Glasses

I just got out a movie
It was an art house flick
Some French director with seven wives
Filming a topless chick
And you say i’m a hipster
Maybe you aren’t so wrong
Come listen to my new mixtape
With that new James Blake song
And I heard you think indie guys are cool
You think mainstream culture’s dead
You don’t like guys who shred
And you think, you think that I’m alright
And you think Kid A is tight
I’ll buy some big framed glasses tonight
I just went to a thrift store
Put some pics on the gram
Took them all on a Polaroid
Cuz aesthetic never gets old
And I heard you think indie guys are cool
You think mainstream culture’s dead
You don’t like guys who shred
And you think, you think that I’m alright
And you think Kid A is tight
I’ll buy some big framed glasses tonight
I heard you
Read my last blog post
And you disagree
With my stance on polygamy
You don't think it's
The only answer
To solve all our problems
You capitalist swine
Baby, you know I'm sorry
Let's eat a bagel
And listen to In Rainbows
As Marxism clouds us,
I don't mean to bother,
But I heard,
I heard,
Well I heard
And I heard you think indie guys are cool
You think mainstream culture’s dead
You don’t like guys who shred
And you think, you think that I’m alright
And you think Kid A is tight
I’ll buy some big framed glasses tonight
And I heard you think indie guys are cool
You think mainstream culture’s dead
You don’t like guys who shred
And you think, you think that I’m alright
And you think Kid A is tight
I’ll buy some big framed glasses tonight

Confidant

It's crazy
Can I say?
I need you
To hold you
You talk and
I listen
You smile
And glisten
And I'll just say what you want me to say
The sun in your eyes is ending out waves
I only want you want me to want
Just let me be your confidant
You're a star
On the field
But so far,
It ain't real?
It's all up in my head
I never
Should have said
And I'll just say what you want me to say
The sun in your eyes is ending out waves
I only want you want me to want
Just let me be your confidant
And I'll just say what you want me to say
The sun in your eyes is ending out waves
I only want you want me to want
Just let me be your confidant

NYC Cops

Here in the streets of American nights
Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life
Studied all the rules, and I want no part
But I let you in just to break this heart, oh
Even though it was only one night
It was fuckin' sage
Nina's in the bedroom
She says, "Time to go now"
But leavin' it ain't easy
I've got to let go
Oh, I've got to let go
And the hours they moved slow
I said every night
She can't stop sayin':
"New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
They ain't too smart
New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
They ain't too smart"
Oh kill me now 'cause I let you down
I swear one day we're gonna leave this town
STOP
Yes, I'm leaving 'cause this just won't work
They act like Romans, but they talk like Turks
Soft time in your prime
See me, I like the summertime
But, fuck that
Nina's in the bedroom
She says, "Time to go now"
But leaving it ain't easy
Oh, I've got to let go
I've got to let go
OH, trapped in an apartment
She would not let them get her
She wrote it in a letter, :
"I've got to come clean
The authorities, they've seen
Darling, I'm somewhere in between"
I said every night
She can't stop sayin':
"New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
They ain't too smart
New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
They ain't too smart"
