Forget You

You hunting like a tigress
Cloaked by green from the blizzard cold
You wearing that red dress
Dive bar lights shine blue and gold
You throwing out glances
Heels down south and a mind in space
You making advances
Labyrinth heart with a pretty face
Never dream of keeping you
Tell you what I'm gonna do
Yeah yeah yeah forget you now baby
No regretting you just forgetting you
Yeah yeah yeah forget you now baby
No regretting you just forgetting you
Hey hey just for one night
I don't need a line to remember to
Hey hey hold you so tight
I won't have to lie and remember you
You starring in your own show
Hitting those marks and turning heads
You acting like you don't know
Watch men rush to prepare their beds
You dancing on by them
Plastic heroes in a game you play
You loving like an island
Beautiful, close yet far away
Never dream of keeping you
Tell you what I'm gonna do
Yeah yeah yeah forget you now baby
No regretting you just forgetting you
Yeah yeah yeah forget you now baby
No regretting you just forgetting you
Hey hey just for one night
I don't need a line to remember to
Hey hey hold you so tight
I won't have to lie and remember you

Can't Be Satisfied

Idleness is fine for a while
But I find my mind is too wired
Can't keep still
I’ve got a will to move
And I feel it every time
A dogged pull
A feeling less than full
I don’t know what the hell is wrong with me
I think of all the things I cannot be
I can’t be satisfied
I hit a rut and I’m antagonized
I live a dream but I fantasize
I can’t be satisfied
People say we got everything
We live a life of warm luxury
But lurking under
All we plunder there’s
An itch that can never be found
Feeds our doubt
And sends us out at night
I don’t know what the hell is wrong with me
I think of all the things I cannot be
I can’t be satisfied
I hit a rut and I’m antagonized
I live a dream but I fantasize
I can’t be satisfied

When We Were Together

When we were together
I felt wild and alive
We held captive every eye
Rambling down the high street
Feeling fine in the sun
Never time for cloudy skies
When we found the moment
Nothing dampened our hopes
Not a chance to second guess
But when we found some time to kill
And we lacked lust or thrills
That when things start to die
When we fell together
We went all the way down
Nothing slowed us but the ground
Now we’re not together
And I’m lost in a haze
Waste my precious time away

State of Affairs

Downstairs at 6:05
Put my head up, feel alive
Can’t shake the feeling though that something’s not right
A quiet slink away
A good morning to the day
Wearing the clothing that I had on last night
A cocktail we enjoyed
Intemperance we employed
A naïve notion that we had it laid bare
A dim-lit mystery
Not to be left unseen
Though through a haze when we finally got there
I know it’s incorrect
Indecent, decadent
We’re both sinners in this state of affairs
You got no history
You got no misery
You’re a fresh face in this vanity fair
And now I’m a mess
I need your tenderness
But I can’t take all this changing your mind
Leave me an alibi
Give me a real goodbye
I’m an orphan in a world that’s unkind
I guess I never had a prayer
in this state of affairs
You hold my heart but you don’t care
And it just isn’t fair
I need to rest
I need to rest
But I can’t get home

Ready to Leave

Over five years
We’ve been down here
Things are dying while
We’re imbibing
Restless feelings
Hear you’re leaving
As our old crowd
Starts to break on down
Well we drank all night
And left the dawn behind
But it’s borrowed time
You gotta do what’s right
It’s responsible
It’s a choice you made
So ends our crusade
And the plans we laid
So it turns to me
And the path I’ll take
The new life I’ll make
The new things I’ll be
Now you want to see
And you’re asking me
What will it be
Am I ready to leave?
I’ve been tempted
By a large spread
Gardens so green
Living room dreams
Change has been stark
Down the sidewalk
Do you stand tall
Or just let it fall?
In the world we try so many things in vain
I’m full of needs that I can’t explain
I wish like you I had it sorted out
Could move on now cause I have no doubts
So many thoughts that weigh on my mind
I can’t give up what I’d leave behind
I can’t commit to what I don’t believe
If you’re asking me am I ready to leave

Little Songs
by The Soft Collapse
Believe this is called "chamber-pop," or as these guys tag it, "bedroom." Intimate guitar and cello songs. Dave played cello on our album as well.
