They told me to tell you/How much they love you/They told me to hug you/They told me to meet/Ok, maybe that’s not true…/But I still need to, so it seems/And you know I don’t like talking to strangers,/And I’ve spoken to stranger ones than you dear/Don’t like talking to strangers/Talking to strangers/That’s why I’m here with you//But, Ooh baby; Ooh, ooh baby,/Tell me something’s wrong /’Cause you don’t smile; you don’t laugh the way you did not that long/Ago, so I strung together some random words to make a song/About you/about you//They told me to be there/When life just ain’t fair,/But nobody really cares anymore/They told me to write down/Just what I find out,/But I know there aren’t words to describe just how everything’s happened to play or pan out//This seems randomly picked and randomly placed/You don’t understand me; I don’t understand you; we misunderstand grace/But girl, you know I don’t understand the words that come right out/Of my mouth when I know there’s something more than me

Laughing At Traffic

Another day, another way I could be getting on/Another taste of the atmosphere through filters I've put on/The cardinal sin would be waiting/A cardinal sin so they say - at least that's what they say//I could be living, but I'm laughing at traffic/I'm laughing at traffic/Yeah, I'm laughing at it/Any other girl would tell me I'm insane/Hardly any other girl likes walking in the rain/Another day, another way I could be moving on/Another check on the atmosphere that's dangerous and hot/The cardinal sin would be waiting/A cardinal sin, so they say/At least that's what they say//Time will take away what you didn't have/It's the time of your life and you're looking back/All you got left is a black and white photograph/Medicine that'll cure you from ever feeling bad/She's not so sure that I'm sane/But umbrellas and blankets are the only shapes I'll ever say/I'll ever say/At least that's what I'll say

Falling Together

Let me know if you need anyone/To take a bullet or a gun for you/I really care, but to you, it's unclear how much/'Cause it's all too smooth to show you that I'm really clutch//But if you get cold, just tell me, and you can take my sweater/But I ain't never seen a day - never seen the sky look much better/Feels like everything's falling together//Seems in loving you, I forgot to begin/I've rushed on through to reach the end/But it's not a game I can forfeit or win/It's myself I forget when we're not feeling it till we fall in love again//It's grace like this that keeps us sane/Keeps us from drowning in all the rain/In this age of pain, it didn't stop being possible to breathe life into the clay
