Lyrics

You leave your mug by the sink I leave mine in the car We talk about the rent And never where we are Your coat stays on the chair Mine falls beside the bed We know the easy answers We skip the things unsaid You ask if I’m okay I say, “I’m fine, I guess” You nod like you believe me But baby, you don’t press Say what you mean Say it to me Don’t keep the hurt Behind your teeth We keep the room clean But not our skin Say what you mean Before we both give in You laugh at something small While staring past my face I try to hold your hand You move a little late The same show on the TV The same plate in the drain We know how to stay busy We know how to name the strain You ask if I’m okay I say, “I’m fine, I guess” You nod like you believe me But baby, you don’t press Say what you mean Say it to me Don’t keep the hurt Behind your teeth We keep the room clean But not our skin Say what you mean Before we both give in I’m tired of reading signs In the space between your words Tired of making room For a silence that still hurts If you want out, say that If you want me, stay I can live with truth I can’t live halfway Say what you mean Say it to me Don’t keep the hurt Behind your teeth We keep the room clean But not our skin Say what you mean Before we both give in

Lyrics

You leave your watch on the sink I leave the lights on low We eat at the counter again Like we got somewhere to go Your keys by the bowl My coat on the chair Two glasses sweating in silence Like we both been there You ask me what’s wrong I say, “nothing, I’m tired” Then you look at me longer Like you heard what I’m hiding We know how to dodge it How to keep things neat But the room gets smaller Every time we repeat Say it plain, say it plain Don’t make me guess again Say it plain, say it plain Before we call this a friend I can feel you slip I can feel me too Say it plain, say it plain What you want from me You still fold my shirts The way my mother taught I still rinse your cup Even when we’re not talking There’s a clean dish towel Hanging by the stove And a whole lot of us That never gets told You laugh at the phone I pretend not to care Then you turn your face And I know you’re half there We keep making dinner Like it’s gonna fix time But the truth sits cold In the back of my mind Say it plain, say it plain Don’t make me guess again Say it plain, say it plain Before we call this a friend I can feel you slip I can feel me too Say it plain, say it plain What you want from me I know my silence Has a shape of its own You know your distance Has a way of coming home Maybe we’re loyal To the wrong old hurt Two good people Making love do work Say it plain, say it plain Don’t make me guess again Say it plain, say it plain Before we call this a friend I can feel you slip I can feel me too Say it plain, say it plain What you want from me Half-eaten grapes On the plate between us Half-spoken truths We keep meanin’ to say Half-eaten grapes And a room full of us Still here Still scared Still awake

Lyrics

Your shoes by my door Still on the mat You call it staying I call it that I rinse two plates You dry one glass We talk around it Then let it pass Same old couch Same old show You ask, "You okay?" I say, "You know" I keep my side You keep yours too We learn the room Instead of the truth And every small thing Starts to mean more A pause, a look A hand on the floor Say it plain Say it plain We keep dancing Around the pain Say it plain Say it plain I still want you I still want you You leave your ring In the soap dish Like it forgot What it was for I fold your shirt You fold your face We both know where This goes before You say "later" I say "fine" But later turns Into killing time I know your fear I know mine too We wear our calm Like it's something true But there's a crack In the way we talk A quiet yes A longer walk Say it plain Say it plain We keep dancing Around the pain Say it plain Say it plain I still want you I still want you Maybe trust ain't loud Maybe it comes in slow In the way you stay When you don't know In the way I ask What I really mean In the bed between us Where the questions lean Say it plain Say it plain We keep dancing Around the pain Say it plain Say it plain I still want you I still want you Say it plain Say it plain Don't let this become What we don't explain

Lyrics

You left your keys in the same blue bowl I still stack mail like you might come home Two plates set out for a month or two I tell myself that’s just what we do You ask me fine I say I’m good We keep that line like we said we would But the sink stays full and the jokes feel thin I know your face when you’re holding in You kiss my cheek then you turn away There’s a lot we mean that we don’t say Say it plain say it plain don’t dress it up say it plain I can feel the space in the middle of us Say it plain say it plain Your phone face down when I walk by my name goes quiet in your eyes I learned your moods from the way you breathe from the car door slam to the careful keys I still make coffee the way you like two spoons in the cup one crack of ice We keep routine like it’s enough but love gets small when it’s never touched And I hate that look like you’re miles off saying “later” twice then the night goes soft If you want out or you want in say the ugly part before it hardens in Say it plain say it plain don’t dress it up say it plain I can feel the space in the middle of us Say it plain say it plain I don’t need perfect I need true even the part you hate to lose If you stayed for habit say that too I’d rather hear that than hear “we’re good” Say it plain say it plain don’t dress it up say it plain If you still want me then pull me close Say it plain say it plain Say it plain say it plain I can take the truth if it stays plain

Lyrics

Caught me on the wrong side Left me high and dry No relief No respite So sweet So tight Paralyzed Don't know how to break this spell I guess it's better if I don't tell Keep your enemies close But your lovers closer I don't know what you want from me Keep your enemies close But your lovers closer I don't know what you want from me Now you want me all night Running back for more Once a one-time thing Not anymore Paralyzed We just keep on switching sides I guess it's better if I don't fight Keep your enemies close But your lovers closer I don't know what you want from me Keep your enemies close But your lovers closer I don't know what you want from me Now Where do we go from here? I guess it's better if I don't care Now Where do we go from here? I guess it's better if I don't care I don't care I don't care Keep your enemies close But your lovers closer I don't know what you want from me Keep your enemies close But your lovers closer I don't know what you want from me

Lyrics

Quiet storm and the wind still blowin' Sittin' in the shade with a whisper Oh my God baby I'm still knowin' Mmm baby girl you better listen Because the quiet storm Because the quiet storm Because the quiet storm Quiet storm and the wind still blowin' Sittin' in the shade with a whisper Oh my God baby I'm still knowin' Mmm baby girl you better listen Because the quiet storm Because the quiet storm Because the quiet storm Because the quiet storm Because the quiet storm

Lyrics

You came in late Left your shoes by the mat I made tea for two But you never asked for that We talked in circles About work and the rent You kissed my forehead Like that meant what it meant And I know your face When you want to leave You go quiet first Then you hide it in “we’ll see” I been learning your pauses Like a second language You been reading my silence Like a note I never sent Say what you mean Say what you mean Don’t leave me holding A half-full glass Say what you mean Say what you mean I can take it Just don’t make me guess Your jacket on the chair Mine folded on the couch Same seven steps From the sink to the mouth We keep the room neat Like we keep the pain Folded in the laundry Hidden with the change You touch my hand Then you let it go Like you’re checking if I’m still Somewhere you can know And I know your face When you’re not all here You smile a little too fast You say “I’m fine” too clear I been learning your distance By the way you pour the wine You been learning my patience Like it’s got no bottom line Say what you mean Say what you mean Don’t leave me holding A half-full glass Say what you mean Say what you mean I can take it Just don’t make me guess Maybe we’re both tired Maybe we’re both scared Maybe we love each other In the wrong kind of spare I don’t need perfect I need the truth in your mouth Something I can stand in When the floor gives out Say what you mean Say what you mean Don’t leave me holding A half-full glass Say what you mean Say what you mean I can take it Just don’t make me guess If you want out Say it clean If you want in Come back to me Say what you mean Say what you mean

Lyrics

I think there's something in the water And it's all on me (All on me) And it's all on me (All on me) And it's all on me So I hope you came ready (Yeah, yeah) Hope you came ready 'Cause it's all on me I hope you came ready Hope you came ready (Mm, mm) 'Cause it's all on me Mm-mm-mm Baby Let it breathe Give it air You in the ocean Ain't no need to be scared (Scared) Ooh So what you 'bout to do with it?

Lyrics

We don't have to get high to get by This daydream of mine Glimpses of her The other world And my mind just races Races Races Wonderin' if I could Maybe Maybe Maybe I know that I should But maybe Maybe Maybe 'Cause you're an angel And you fell from the sky You're just like the Sun Got me close to your light Then we drift away But we're back in no time Then we're flyin' through the clouds Got me high like a kite Yeah I wanna know Babe And I want you to show me Is it a dream Or is it real? I'm thinkin' it's both My body's here But I float If you only knew the way you make me feel Yeah You light up my life Got me losin' control Is it a dream Or is it real? I'm thinkin' it's both My body's here But I float If you only knew the way you make me feel Yeah You light up my life Got me losin' control La-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Mm And you could hold me Like a little trophy The night is so quiet All I hear is you talkin' About this girl you know Said she was my age "She looks a lot like you" And I was like "Okay" Like Who is this girl? You could tell me about her Oh Wait I'm that girl Oh And it's all comin' back now 'Cause you were sayin' this Sayin' that While you're layin' on your back I was thinkin' 'bout her And now I see her Is it a dream Or is it real? I'm thinkin' it's both My body's here But I float If you only knew the way you make me feel Yeah You light up my life Got me losin' control Is it a dream Or is it real? I'm thinkin' it's both My body's here But I float If you only knew the way you make me feel Yeah You light up my life Got me losin' control Is it a dream Or is it real? I'm thinkin' it's both My body's here But I float If you only knew the way you make me feel Yeah You light up my life Got me losin' control Is it a dream Or is it real? I'm thinkin' it's both My body's here But I float If you only knew the way you make me feel Yeah You light up my life Got me losin' control
