1.
It’s the way that you wish for nothing It’s the way that you wish for nothing You catch your breath You wish for nothing For nothing So when I dare you to wish for something I’m only asking you if you would stay And the way that you still adore her Oh it’s the way that I wish to be loved That I wish to be loved x4 And still the way that I wait for nothing It’s the way that I wait for nothing It’s the way that I feel it’s broken And the way I find my fears
2.
Let go of your gold Let go of your gold It doesn’t mean as much as you think It doesn’t mean as much as you drink Let go of your ghosts Of your ghosts let go It doesn’t mean anything It doesn’t mean anything It’s just not about you You’re not that important You’re not that important It’s just not about you Sitting around And barely present Thinking about How you’re affected Just forget about yourself for a moment Just forget yourself for a moment For a moment x3
3.
For Now 03:00
You can walk in any direction And instead, you follow her Someone’s guiding you to hurry You can’t hear them anymore You can’t hear them anymore You can’t hear them anymore Maybe you haven’t been there Maybe you just don’t get it Maybe it takes some patience I don’t know for sure for now You can be so many people But you choose to be like her You can see so many people But instead, you see through her There are so many voices They’re all screaming out your name Take a seat and listen carefully It’s the one you have that should take hold Maybe I just don’t get it Maybe I’m second-guessing Maybe you know what’s best for For the way that you live For the way that you live
4.
Carpet 02:12
The carpet feels flaky Your arm can’t hold its weight Concerned by your powers Your boots by the door You say you’re restless but you seem calm Convincing me that nothing is wrong The carpet feels new I’ll walk barefoot Your shoulder feels heavy under my weight Your hands feel steady with me at your side The carpet is wrapped up in the corner Next to a box of your receipts The carpet is wrapped up in the corner
5.
I clearly would do anything I clearly would do anything You clearly have this power over me I’m not pretending to be free You clearly have something over me You clearly have something over me I don’t want you to be free Of it, of you with me Do you pretend like you don’t care Are you afraid to take a step Why do you run from what I know Why do you run It’s killing me x4 Are you as clever as you seem Are you as shameless as your sins Am I as foolish as I seem Am I as hopeless as you’ve been It’s killing me x8
6.
Do you have time to feel Can you imagine what that’s like Do you have time to heal And do you care enough to try Cause I’ve been feeling like I really just don’t understand And I’ve been thinking that I really just can’t feel like you And I’ve been feeling like I really just don’t understand And I’ve been thinking that I really just can’t feel like you Do you have time to be Alone with thoughts that you don’t recognize Did you believe that you could always hide Cause I’ve been feeling like I really just don’t understand And I’ve been thinking that I really just can’t feel like you And I’ve been feeling like I really just don’t understand And I’ve been thinking that I really just can’t feel like you I just can’t feel like you x3 I just can’t feel like you want me to
7.
With Me 03:08
Still can't explain What a mess you’ve made of me Still can’t express The way I feel at night You should know, you should know You’re with me at night x3 You’re with me Every day is hopeful By the end, it’s not Every moment’s wasteful And it’s all we’ve got Not sure where I stand Not sure where you are Not sure where I want to be But not very far You’re with me at night x3 You’re with me I still think of you If you were here, what would you do I still dream of you When you are there, it’s who I know I still think of you If you were here, what would you do I still dream of you When you are there, it’s who I know You’re with me at night x3 You’re with me x3
8.
Waiting 02:42
I’m begging for the day to come I’m waiting on you I’m waiting on me too Don’t turn away There’s just no use Don’t let your mind sway From the abuse You know yourself Unlike she does Don’t let her raise Hell in your eyes She rests her head On someone real And breaks her neck In the appeal And whispers softly And loudly clear There’s someone out there Who can’t sit still
9.
Beyond 02:49
I seem to have forgotten what you’re worth to me x2 Beyond this patience is a vacant heart Beyond this silence is a broken mind Tell me once again why you left I looked for answers beyond your eyes I looked beyond what I thought I could find Even beyond what I thought I would find The first attempt was to run away What am I worth to you, I ask you dear How many fears have you left to blame How many tears you left behind What am I worth to you, I ask you dear I have forgotten what you’re worth
10.
You can stop and pretend like you want to You can stop You can run and pretend like you need to You can run There’s no stopping you x2 There’s no stopping There’s no loving you x2 There’s no loving, loving you You can jump ahead if you want to But will you remain in place You can laugh at something you need to But will you suffocate There’s no stopping you x2 There’s no stopping, stopping you There’s no loving you x2 There’s no loving, loving you Loving you There’s no loving you There’s no loving You can stop
11.
Wake up and think x2 Someone’s gonna undress you tonight Someone’s gonna undress you Wake up and listen to yourself Wake up and watch for lonesome theft Wake up Wake up and listen for what you want Wake up and think x2 Someone’s gonna undress you tonight Someone’s gonna undress you Someone’s gonna undress you tonight Someone’s gonna undress you How do you do it And walk away How do you tear their hearts out and.. How do you do it And let them play How do you do it (Wake up and think) And walk away How do you do it (Wake up and think) And walk away

---
The album balances accessible melodies with sometimes nonlinear song structures and evolving arrangements that move between shoegazey dream pop, slide guitar-fueled jangly indie folk, synth-driven ambient soundscapes, distorted indie rock, and noisy art pop. The lyrics veer from resigned to hopeful, biting to patiently observant, and grief-stricken to something approaching peace.
