Small World 04:20
come build a shelter with only your hands come build a room for your love to stand paint the walls, I stand in the door you can’t feel unprepared at all stay calm, stay good we’ll be fine if we take it slow lay me down on your chest darling, arrest my adolescence turn me around and wind me down unpack my heart, wrap it in my jeans and stack it in the drawer lace your grace across my feet trace your father’s name upon my back while I try to sleep take what you want, build a better man hang those skinny arms over those white keys play me something rough, don’t just play to please give me something beautiful to break cause I can't face this right now what if I can’t love him like I should? lace your grace across my feet trace your father’s name upon my back while I try to sleep take what you want, build a better man

I am a quiet riot born out of harm’s way with static in my mind and bones made of nylon wake up, stop flinching the golden voyager just watch me I’ll drift ‘til I find that corner office there I’ll find the beggars and choosers are hand in hand wake up, stop flinching the golden voyager it won’t hurt just throw me in the dirt break my legs and tie me up again the golden voyager

Us City Boys 04:27
us city boys we drink to get drunk, fight for laughs and us city boys thought that you’d get right back up but don’t you know? we were meant to say sorry and not goodbye for Justin we shout aloud we raise our heads to the sky now for Justin we shout through the rain cry with us now us city boys we only cry with smoke in our eyes when we threw the roses down and knew that you were truly gone but don’t you know? we were meant to say sorry and not goodbye we miss you mate for Justin we shout aloud we raise our heads to the sky now for Justin we shout through the rain you cry with us now and we are the boys of old Fitzroy

Steps 06:08
did you write down the steps to falling in love? did you tell yourself to quit or fall asleep with the light on? ...fall asleep, don’t you fall asleep with the light on & the face in the tv is nothing more than a cheap film wash dissolving ...nothing but a ghost did you write down the steps to falling in love?
