Simple surf rock Suzie Does she know that she’s a doozy? She’s got her blanket, her book, and her short-shorts on And a Kilty in a coozy Surf rock Suzie! Woah oh oh oh We don’t really know what surf rock is But Avey says labels are made for cans Be my lazy baby, simple Suzie you’re a doozy oh oh oh! Simple surf rock Suzie I asked her to the movies Lugosi at 8 or Ponyo at 10? She said: “I’m not that choosy! Now play something bluesy!” [guitar solo that isn’t really blues music at all] We don’t really know what surf rock is But we’re doing okay for a couple of kids Be my lazy baby, simple Suzie you’re a doozy oh oh oh!

Luminarie 03:04
It’s the first step back To recovering It’s not as bad as you remember But you remember everything Candle in a paper bag Soon to be catastrophe Candle in a paper bag Hold me like it’s meant to be We lie down on our backs She asks me if I’m happy Bright as a luminarie You remember everything Candle in a paper bag Soon to be catastrophe Candle in a paper bag Hold me like it’s meant to be

I can’t wait to spin some records In our living room together You can tell me about all the bands you like Like the first time when you messaged me At 3 am to ask if I like Warpaint And I said I do, but really I was saying That I just like you You’ve been living in my mailbox Darlin’ won’t you come in? Won’t you come in? You’ve been living in my mailbox And I don’t mind the time alone But every song sounds like it’s just on hold when you’re not here

William Nye 02:48
You spent the summer swimming Hoping your hair would turn green Before you were old enough to buy hair dye I spent the winter between November and spring Learning about heaven and praying to Bill Nye William says it’s not magic, it’s just science But I see magic in your eyes William says it’s not magic, it’s just science But I still love that Bill Nye the Science Guy I saw the universe bloom In my grandma’s spare room Inches from a screen made in 1955 Now I’ve got my degree But I don’t know anything It’s a mystery, easier for Bill Nye William says it’s not magic, it’s just science But I see magic in your eyes William says it’s not magic, it’s just science But I still love that Bill Nye the Science Guy

You’re so good At keeping it in Glass jar Paper skin Wax heart Bedroom eyes Pick your poison I’ve picked mine Body pillow A place to lay my head I’ll write another song About the ghosts inside my bed I’d do anything to please you Anything to please you Anything to please you When you pause Before you speak Takes a second Takes a week don’t wanna break even So take what you need Take a breath Make it sting Body pillow A place to lay my head I’ll write another song About the ghosts inside my bed I’d do anything to please you Anything to please you Anything to please you

Fake Roses 03:44
I hope he’s okay with you coming home with roses As long as he don’t know who grows them How do they grow when the weather’s so drastic? I guess it helps that they’re red silk and plastic But I think they’re fantastic You think they’re fantastic too If they face the wastebasket At least they spent a passing moment with you Passing moment with you Passing moment with you Passing moment with you Passing moment with you I’m getting comfortable taking cold showers Just one of my superpowers And look I kept all this food in my stomach I deserve my own Marvel comic I wish I kept all the photos you sent me I wish the mill was still the tallest thing in Tempe I wish I couldn’t be happier And my wish came true I think you’re fantastic You think I'm fantastic too If I face the wastebasket At least I spent a passing moment with you Passing moment with you Passing moment with you Passing moment with you Passing moment with you
