{Verse 1} Black jean queen, what’s your tattoo mean? See your patience peeking through a loose seam Rest your worried eyes, now you’ve got a drink that’s all warm Pool table, stool fable, dull light shed at a pretty angle Work your tired feet dancing ’til your soul is all worn {Chorus} You don’t know what you mean to me And I don’t want to be your bad news Infatuated easily, you’re brand new And I know, My ego’s got me up in arms And I could never say that I tried So when you tell me nothing’s wrong, you’re so right {Verse 2} Hair dye in a sink drain Did it drunk and left a pink stain On the only white shirt that you had Shoelace damp with cheap beer Changing states every leap year Leave some room for my heart in your bag {Chorus} You don’t know what you mean to me And I don’t want to be your bad news Infatuated easily, you’re brand new And I know, My ego’s got me up in arms And I could never say that I tried So when you tell me nothing’s wrong, you’re so right {Bridge} “What’s it mean when it’s never enough?”, I said I spun a web and been waiting for months I bet My stomach hurt because you ain’t fall for the rush in my head In my head “What’s it mean when it’s never enough?”, I said I spun a web and been waiting for months I bet My stomach hurt because you ain’t fall for the rush in my head In my head {Chorus} You don’t know what you mean to me And I don’t want to be your bad news Infatuated easily, you’re brand new And I know, My ego’s got me up in arms And I could never say that I tried So when you tell me nothing’s wrong, you’re so right

Don't Sleep 03:36
{Verse 1} I don’t want to go to sleep, I don’t want to go to sleep Want to spend some time with you while you’re still in front of me I could do it on my own, I don’t really want to, though I could tell you all these things you don’t really want to know I just keep it to myself. I’ve been good at that I think I don’t want to go to sleep. I don’t even want to blink That’s how I’mma loose you. I would be a fool to Feel like you’re a part of me. I can’t tell, like, who’s who I’mma try to stay awake. Don’t care how much drugs it takes I can’t even play no more. If I sleep that’s my mistake You can put it on me. I’ve been waiting all week Now you finally call on me, don’t want to go to sleep {Chorus} I don’t want to go to sleep unless I see you in my dreams You’re there when I close my eyes, I’m trying to find out what it means Maybe you can help me out and show me what it’s all about Put it all in front of me before I go to sleep I don’t want to go to sleep unless I see you in my dreams You’re there when I close my eyes, I’m trying to find out what it means Maybe you can help me out and show me what it’s all about Put it all in front of me before I go to sleep {Verse 2} I’ve never been this tired before My disguise lets me hide some more And my bed used to feel like home Now it don’t Wonder is I’ll ever learn. I got so much I never earned Think I only love myself, but every night I toss and turn Every night I toss and turn. Every night I toss and turn Toss and turn, Toss and turn, turn, turn, turn, turn {Chorus} I don’t want to go to sleep unless I see you in my dreams I don’t want to go to sleep. I don’t want to go to sleep Maybe you can help me out and show me what it’s all about Put it all in front of me. Put it all in front of me I don’t want to go to sleep unless I see you in my dreams I don’t want to go to sleep. I don’t want to go to sleep Maybe you can help me out and show me what it’s all about Put it all in front of me. Put it all in front of me I don’t want to go to sleep unless I see you in my dreams You’re there when I close my eyes, I’m trying to find out what it means Maybe you can help me out and show me what it’s all about Put it all in front of me before I go to sleep I don’t want to go to sleep unless I see you in my dreams You’re there when I close my eyes, I’m trying to find out what it means Maybe you can help me out and show me what it’s all about Put it all in front of me before I go to sleep

{Verse 1} If my lips produced anything, my house would be haunted less White paint peeling pitifully. Dull Yellow from cigarettes Pine needles now cradle me, breath fleeing me fatally Birds whistling gibberish, got nothing to say to me And I get it I would too 40 bottle hollow calling me to follow through Join with the clouds, I’m leaking steam to solid blue And I don’t know what’s coming after but I’ll tell you when I do {Verse 2} Find me in the woods spent, lying in a creek bed Thunder growling, raindrops kissing on my forehead Reminds me of your face lit dimly in a basement Poison in my brain stem, dormant entertainment And I wish I had the patience To wonder until the sunrise, wait until to dew dries Knowing that your head lies a mile as the crow flies Only makes the problem way worse

{Verse 1} Coffee’s going cold, I’ll drink it anyways Come to think of it I don’t drink it for the taste Money in the bank is just numbers on a page ‘Cause I’m never really seeing what I make I’m never really seeing what I make I’m never really seeing what I make I’m never really seeing what I make {Verse 2} Jealous of the snow that feeds the river bends Purpose super clear ‘cause nature can’t pretend Silent when I pray, I just do for Heaven’s sake ‘Cause I’m never really giving what I take I’m never really giving what I take I’m never really giving what I take I’m never really giving what I take {Verse 3} Buzzing in the brush, lie lazy on my skin Prairie grass will grow and claim my breath again Lips will kiss the shade of the ripple on the lake And I think about it every single day I think about it every single day I think about it every single day I think about it every single day I think about it every single day I think about it every single day I think about it every single day Think there’s gotta be some other way
