Someone Who Protected You (demo) 04:40
lyrics
buy track
I want to be your savior I don’t know how to save I want you to call me your hero Charming, funny, brave Timing my breaths in With your breaths out to See if I absorb the things I love about you I don’t believe in souls But I feel something connect to you I’ve never had the words To show how I’ve respected you And all I want to be Is someone who protected you If you give me what I crave I’ll ask for something more Give it a couple weeks I’ll be knocking at your door As if you owe me something To make me someone good To make me feel better As if you ever could I don’t believe in souls But I feel something connect to you I’ve never had the words To show how I’ve respected you And all I want to be Is someone who protected you There’s nothing else I need There’s nothing I expect of you All I want to be Is someone who protected you When I meet my maker I’ll be glad to reach the end He’ll ask what I accomplished I’ll proudly say I was your friend

Kinda Happy (demo) 02:53
lyrics
buy track
I head down to Brooklyn The trains are on time I don’t remember The statistics on crime The pretty barista Remembers my name At least for today Just for a minute I’m not so alone I feel something vibrate My friend’s on the phone He’s coming to visit Can he stay on the couch? We’re too poor to go out I shoved my way in Elbows and teeth To live on these streets I’m worn out, broke, and getting older But today I don’t care I’m kinda happy, I swear I see Jake and Becky With an hour to kill I beat back the darkness Through sheer force of will The world is on fire An imminent end But I love my friends On my way home Dead rat on the street A pancake with teeth I’m worn out, broke, and sort of ugly But today I don’t care I’m kinda happy, I swear All these years, all my life So much work to stay alive Now this fragile optimism Is balanced on the edge of a knife Every day’s a brand new fight But today I don’t care I’m kinda happy, I swear But today I don’t care I’m kinda happy, I swear
