Safe & Aound 03:46
from the not so distant past I hear her calling me. please take this reverb off her voice she sounds so echoey. things will be better when you're older it's not as though you've lost your soldier and I said a thousand times I'm not going off to war you're safe and sound now. you buried all your feelings in the ground now. and everybody knows that this love is gonna grow now, darling, it takes some time, I'm gonna make her mine, and i will do all those things that I would have done unto me. and everybody knows that this love is gonna grow now, darling, it takes some time, I'm gonna make her mine, and I will do all those things that I would have done unto me.

Dad 02:15

Metaphors 02:30
you steep your tea in metaphors and you spill the mug that stains my floors and I'm scrubbing hard I look up to see that you've closed the door on you and me I'm marrying halls the shorts and the talls the boughs that I'm taking after shows where no one goes don't let the air-condition fool you even if I don't say a thing you see me here you know I'm suffering ba ba ba ba ba and we both pretend that the ship's not going down but it is
