album: so impossible ep (2001)
label: vagrant records

song: for you to notice
i'm starting to fashion an idea in my head
where i would impress you
with every single word i said
would come out insightful
or brave or smooth or charming
and you'd want to call me
and i would be there every time you'd need me
i'd be there every time...

but for now i'll look so longingly
waiting...
for you to want me
for you need me
for you to notice me

i'm starting to fashion an idea in my head
where i would impress you
with every single word i said
would come out insightful
or brave or smooth or charming
and you'd want to call me
and i would be there every time you'd need me
i'd be there every time...

but for now i'll look so longingly
waiting...
for you to want me
for you need me
for you to notice me



song: so impossible
so she says
"everyone's going to the party
won't you come if i come with a friend for your friend?
i'd be so pleased to see you
out of the classroom wearing the smile that i'll bring you
i was hoping to learn a few things like...
do you do you like dishing the dirt on the whole class
and talking the big smack
and playing the fool
and wearing all of the latest fashions
or bucking the new trends
wearing your old threads
well if you like taking a cup of coffee in the evening
these are a few things that i'd like to know
that I'd like to know"

so i said...
"i've been scheduled to work
but i'll call in
and my friend isn't busy he'd be happy to join me
and maybe my friend and your friend will hit it off
or maybe we will?"

i'm dying to know
do you do you like dreaming of things so impossible
or only the practical
or ever the wild
or waiting through all your bad bad days
just to end them with
someone you care about
and do you like making out
and long drives
and brown eyes
and guys that just don't quite fit in
yeah do you like them?
so yes, i'll see you there



song: remember to breathe
she fixes her lips
they always look perfect
never a smudged line
never too much

i try on my blue shirt
she told me she liked it
she wonders where i went
she knows knows just what she'll wear
she always wears blue

so sneakers or flip flops?
i'm starting to panic
remember she asked you
remember to breathe
and everything
will be okay

okay...
okay...
okay...

alright?
alright?
alright?
alright?
alright?
alright?

okay...



song: hands down
this air is blessed
you share with me
this night is wild
so calm and dull
these hearts they race
from self control
your legs are smooth
as they graze mine
we're doing fine
we're doing nothing at all

my hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me
so won't you kill me
so i die happy
my heart is yours to fill or burst
to break or bury
or wear as jewelery
which ever you prefer

the words are hushed lets not get busted
just lay entwined here undiscovered
safe from the earth and all the stupid questions
"hey did you get some?"
man, that is so dumb
stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't hear
so we can get some

my hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me
so won't you kill me
so i die happy
my heart is yours to fill or burst
to break or bury
or wear as jewelery
which ever you prefer

hands down this is the best day i can ever remember
i'll always remember
the sound of the stereo
the dim of the soft lights
the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers
and the time on the clock when we realized it's so late
and this walk that we shared together
the streets were wet and the gate was locked
so i jumped it and let you in
and you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
and you kissed me like you meant it
and i knew that you meant it
that you meant it
that you meant it
and i knew
that you meant it
that you meant it
