Cruise Control
02:56
|

i sit in the front seat
i take two pills for two separate reasons
i remember your face
i recollect the mess i created
the moment you left me
i sit in the front seat
i take two pills for two separate reasons
cause it feels like i'm on cruise control
these feelings are so stretched
they're wearing thin
like an old t-shirt found in a discount bin
go to the beach, to the park, see a film
filling holes that shouldn't exist
maybe if i talked better - then we wouldn't feel like this
i just need more time to do the things that i wanna do
things we used to do together
now i'll do me, and you do you
cause it feels like i'm on cruise control

IKEA Dreaming
02:42
|

so unorganised
can't seem to keep it straight
why don't you pack me up
so i am easy freight?
a new diary, a new mug
a desk lamp, a picture frame
i've got this faux belief
that it will help me sleep
flat pack my life so it's easier to carry
cause i'm ikea dreaming
scatter my room with plants
to add a splash of green
it'll help me think
as i neglect to clean
coloured folders, a calendar
a pen cup, some sticky notes
more things that i can get
that'll disappear like the rest
flat pack my life so it's easier to carry
cause i'm ikea dreaming

Sometimes, Somehow
02:03
|

i dunno, i dunno why i act this way
disconnect from my life, disconnect from the games i play
broken heart - got a job, got a tote that says "sell your car"
all alone in the dark in my room playing your guitar
"it's okay, it's alright - it's okay, you can leave me here"
haze of pseudoephedrine's gonna pass, it'll be all clear
i dunno, i dunno why i act this way
called my mum, she just said "sometimes life, it gets in the way"
sometimes, somehow - life gets in the way

City Strain
02:26
|
|||
i'm so weary all the time
can't seem to get a rest
life keeps getting in the way
of what i like to do best
living near the city
completely takes its toll
all this hustle and bustle
feels like a constant tussle
my bones are sore
and my head hurts
the constant sound of chattering
feels my ears like glass shattering
can somebody help me sleep?
so burnt out i'm feeling weak
try to live day to day
caffeinated on lattes
come live in the thick of it
there's so much you can check out
gigs and shows 24/7
it chewed me up and spat me out
constant stimulation
i can't seem to look away
i can't close my eyes
without the fear that i'm missing out
all the lights and white noise
have me wired so regularly
i'm half man and half machine
walking around like routine
i go out almost every night
i regret it every day
i find it hard to stay in bed
when i hear the buzz of my friends
city that never sleeps
has rubbed off on me
i take more care of my plants
than my own body
come live in the thick of it
there's so much you can check out
gigs and shows 24/7
it chewed me up and spat me out
maybe i'll move back home
take a break from all of it
but i know that it won't last
until i end up back again

Absent-Minded
03:00
|
|||
my life is high-strung, up like powerlines
my life is stagnant, like i sleep in slime
in the morning the sun warms my face
sometimes i don't feel it when it's there
i go for a walk along the merri creek
i sit and watch the sun climb so high
i think things are good between us now
i think that you don't feel the same at all

Stay Home
03:07
|
|||
sit in the car, radio on
wondering if i'll even go
one more song, maybe two
finish the album and then i'll choose
one u-turn away from home
fake sick - they'll never know
shaky hands, beating chest
is it the car or am i just stressed?
because sometimes, you gotta know when to not go
because sometimes, it's easy just to stay at home
walk down johnston, walk down smith
all these people that i kind of know
fake a wave, say a hello
the faster i walk the faster i get home
take long strides over cracks
head down and never look back
cosy room, dim lit desk
better to stay rather than force it
because sometimes, you gotta know when to not go
because sometimes, it's easy just to stay at home

another day in bed, depressed - i'm not well yet
i'm trying to find a job somewhere close to my home
it hits four o'clock, medication knocks me flat
asleep in an old chair
relaxed? it's a luxury
i'm so scared of the future
in my head it gets better
my neighbours
they own four cars and a caravan
two-storey house
white
inner-north family
i'm so scared of the future
in my head it gets better
one day maybe i'll buy a house
