-Favorite lyrics from each song-
1. willow
You know that my train could take you home. Anywhere else is hollow
2. champagne problems
Your Midas touch on the Chevy door. November flush, and your flannel cure
3. gold rush
What must it be like to grow up that beautiful? With your hair falling into place like dominos. I see me padding 'cross your wooden floors with my Eagles t-shirt hanging from the door. At dinner parties, I call you out on your contrarian shit
4. 'tis the damn season
It's the kind of cold, fogs up windshield glass, but I felt it when I passed you
5. tolerate it
While you were out building other worlds, where was I? Where's that man who'd throw blankets over my barbed wire? I made you my temple, my mural, my sky. Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life
•You assume I'm fine, but what would you do if I, I break free and leave us in ruins? Took this dagger in me and removed it? Gain the weight of you then lose it? Believe me, I could do it
6. no body, no crime (feat. Haim)
No, no body, no crime. I wasn't letting up until the day he died
7. happiness
In the disbelief, I can't face reinvention. I haven't met the new me yet
•I hope she'll be your beautiful fool who takes my spot next to you. No, I didn't mean that. Sorry, I can't see facts through all of my fury. You haven't met the new me yet
•Honey, when I'm above the trees, I see it for what it is. But now my eyes leak acid rain on the pillow where you used to lay your head. After giving you the best I had, tell me what to give after that? All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness. You haven't met the new me yet, and I think she'll give you that
8. dorothea
If you're ever tired of being known for who you know, you know, you'll always know me
9. coney island (feat. The National)
If I can't relate to you anymore, then who am I related to?
•'Cause we were like the mall before the internet; it was the one place to be. The mischief, the gift wrapped suburban dreams. Sorry for not winning you an arcade ring
10. ivy
How's one to know I'd meet you where the spirit meets the bones in a faith-forgotten land?
•Oh, goddamn. My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
11. cowboy like me
And you asked me to dance, but I said, "Dancing is a dangerous game"
•Forever is the sweetest con
12. long story short
Actually, I always felt I must look better in the rear view. Missing me at the golden gates they once held the keys to
•Past me, I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things. Your nemeses will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing
•Long story short, it was a bad time. Long story short, I survived
13. marjorie
The autumn chill that wakes me up
You loved the amber skies so much
Long limbs and frozen swims
You'd always go past where our feet could touch
And I complained the whole way there
The car ride back and up the stairs
I should've asked you questions
I should've asked you how to be
Asked you to write it down for me
Should've kept every grocery store receipt
'Cause every scrap of you would be taken from me
Watched as you signed your name Marjorie
All your closets of backlogged dreams
And how you left them all to me
14. closure
I know I'm just a wrinkle in your new life. Staying friends would iron it out so nice
15. evermore (feat. Bon Iver)
And I was catching my breath
Staring out an open window
Catching my death
And I couldn't be sure
I had a feeling so peculiar
That this pain would be for
Evermore
16. right where you left me
I swear you could hear a hair pin drop right when I felt the moment stop
•Help, I'm still at the restaurant, still sitting in a corner I haunt
•If our love died young, I can't bear witness
17. it's time to go
That old familiar body ache, the snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
•Or trying to stay for the kids, when keeping it how it is will only break their hearts worse
