1. KING OF ME

Now I can finally feel the taste of victory
That golden cloud of self-respect
that's towering over me
Keeps screaming out that everything's ok

And now you show up with a thousand words to say
And burden me with blame because I let you walk away
You're trying all your best to bring me down
But I won't take the guilt
I did the best I could
Cause nothing I could do
And nothing I could say
Could ever seem to soothe your pain

I tried to make it right
And swore to hold you tight
But I'm done
I had enough

So hold me down
And I will never see the crown
That was designed for me when I came to be
The sole king of me
Depose me of my mental integrity
And I will bleed
And you will watch as I sulk in
Into another half year of crawling around
Till you figure out
The obvious: that I am better without you

2. CHAIR TEA

Do try to understand
I've been through this before
About a hundred fucking times
Before I met you

I want straightforwardness
Let's go right to the point
These days I'm running short on time
To waste on love songs

Don't keep me waiting
Don't leave me hanging out to dry
I've been so lonely
That positively
only this can make me feel alive

I'm not so self-assured
As you would thing I'd be
This time I'm trying to say goodbye
To all these fucking butterflies

Don't keep me waiting
Don't leave me hanging out to dry
I've been so lonely
That positively only this can make me feel alive
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I'm really not that kind of guy
I've been disrupted
Shut down and self-destructive
Don't give me any bullshit
Come bring me back to life
Don't leave me lonely
Cause positively
only this can make me feel alive

3. BARLEY WINE

We don't need more than a glance
To start a crazy romance
So sweet baby
Come take a chance with me

It took me less that a while
To fall in love with your smile
So sweet baby
Come cross the Nile with me
And we will be

Eating French fries at the movies
Drinking barley wine on Tuesdays
Feeling awkward at the boardwalk riding our bikes
You're never gonna feel alone again

If you just let yourself fly
Into the arms of this guy
So sweet baby
Please, don't deny
I'll bake a vegan cherry pie and we'll be

Eating French fries at the movies
Drinking barley wine on Tuesdays
Feeling awkward at the boardwalk riding our bikes
You're never gonna feel alone again

Do you think that it's too soon to play this part?
There's a window newly open in your heart
And I can see that this is meant to be a start
So take a chance with me
Take this dance with me
and we will be

Eating French fries at the movies
Drinking barley wine on Tuesdays
Super awkward at the boardwalk riding our bikes
You're never gonna feel alone again
Oh no you're never gonna feel alone again
That's the plan

4. PLEASE, DON'T LET ME FALL IN LOVE AGAIN

Oh yeah
I'm just a loser
Seeking for approval everywhere
There comes a time
When I will find
Hope in people that are never there

Oh yeah
Please don't abuse me
I'm nothing but a walking bleeding heart
You'll bring me down
Without a sound
Just playing by your part
I warn you from the start

You'll break my heart
You'll leave me shattered
Don't kick me on the ground
When I'm already down
Nobody cares
It never really mattered
So please don't let me fall in love again

Oh yeah
I'm such a loner
Clinging onto people I don't know
I fantasize
Inside my mind
Situations
Conversations
I can't let it show

You'll break my heart
You'll leave me shattered
Don't kick me on the ground
When I'm already down
Nobody cares
It never really mattered
So please don't let me fall in love again

And though I know
That I'm surrounded
By the sweetest people living in this world
I look away
I seem to love the pain
Don't make it start again
I'll make you go insane

You'll break my heart
You'll leave me shattered
Don't kick me on the ground
Cause I'm already down
Nobody cares
It never really mattered
So please don't let me fall in love again

4. BEST FRIENDS

I always write about my heartaches
Sometimes I write about a happy ending
I often write about relationships and might-have-beens
with people that I barely even know
I never wrote a song about you
The ones that really care the most
Cause girlfriends come and go
Colleagues never show

But you're there
You were always there from day one
You were there
Every time I needed someone
Over bangs and over trends
Over gangs and over bands
You were there
This song's out there
For all my best friends

Most of the times we stood together
So many times we couldn't stand each other
All of the time I knew that I could always count on you
To put whatever argument aside
(You were there)
To celebrate
To advocate
To reprimand
Or just stand by me
Whenever I should need a hand

So please don't be upset
If in anyway you've ever felt I let you down
This is bros before hos
This is us before those
And in this song I'm pouring my heart inside out
You can always count on me
Cause I always knew

Like I'm there
I've been always there, from day one
I'll be there
Every time you should need someone
Over bangs and over trends
Over gangs and over bands
Over fame
Over games
Over dames
Over girlfriends - fuck yeah!
You were there
I'm always there
For all my best friends

5. LINCOLN CENTER

It's been sinking in
That you're leaving
It won't be an easy year for me
I've been dreaming
Of our meeting
Feels like eternity

But I'll keep waiting
Suffocating
Choking on that void you made
I'll be holding on

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
Remember that I adore you

This time next year
You will be here
All dressed in white, I'm wearing black
And this yearning
For so long I've been learning
Could never counter that

Cause time keeps changing
I keep changing
Knowing this will never change
We'll keep going strong

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
Remember that I adore you
When time gets you down
Remember my vow
The moment I knelt before you

Five thousand miles
Will never find their way between the hearts
Next time we fly
I'm not coming home without you

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
Remember that I adore you
When our trial's done
This distance be gone
Together we'll walk the aisle
And when the nights get wry
Don't break down and cry
I'll be there to fix it for you
Wherever you go
Forever will do
Remember that I adore you
