SMART WORDS FROM FIVE
"Mom," he says, fiddling with my newly shorn hair, "I want to introduce you to all my classmates because you're like a new person."
LYRICS TO LIVE BY
All my life
Is changing every day
In every possible way
In all my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems
I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you
Then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be
"Dreams"

Lyrics and Failures
With the weight of the world resting on my back
And the road in which I've traveled is as long as it's cracked
I keep pressing forward with my feet to the ground
For a heart that is broken makes a beautiful sound
When you're wearing on your sleeve all the things you regret
You can only remember what you want to forget
Let them roll over me
Let them roll over me when I doubt you
Let them roll over me
Let them roll over me when I doubt you
"The Things I Regret"

Smart Words From Five
"What if we built a trap-door for the groundhog, right near your garden? Only we would know where it is, and then he'd step on it and fall right through to a pit we've dug."
Five, not completely grasping the tunneling ability of groundhogs.

Lyrics to Live By
What would I do without your smart mouth
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can’t pin you down
What’s going on in that beautiful mind
I’m on your magical mystery ride
And I’m so dizzy, don’t know what hit me, but I’ll be alright
My head’s under water
But I’m breathing fine
You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind
‘Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I’ll give my all to you
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I’m winning
‘Cause I give you all, all of me
And you give me all, all of you
"All of Me"

Lyrics and Failures
Dancing around the lies we tell
Dancing around big eyes as well, ah
Even the comatose
They don't dance and tell
We live in cities you'll never see on screen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Living in ruins of the palace within my dreams
You know we're on each other's team
I'm kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the air
So there
"Team"

Science Facts From Five
Vampire squid can swallow their whole bodies and just float in the ocean as just a big mouth with really sharp teeth. And they're red! Get it? RED, like blood!
Lyrics to Write Romance
And if I may just take your breath away
I don't mind if it's not much to say
Sometimes the silence guides our minds to
Move to a place so far away
The goose bumps start to raise
The minute that my left hand meets your waist
And then I watch your face
Put my finger on your tongue
'Cause you love the taste yeah
These hearts adore
Everyone the other beats' heart is for
Inside this place is warm
Outside it starts to pour
Coming down
One love, two mouths
One love, one house
No shirt, no blouse
Just us, you find out
Nothing that I wouldn't wanna tell you about, no, no, no
'Cause it's too cold
For you here and now
So let me hold
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
"Sweater Weather"
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

Lyrics to Live By
If everything we've got is blowing away
We've got a rock and a rock till our dying day
I'm holding on to you, holding on to me
Maybe it's all we got but it's all I need
You're all I need
And if all we've got, is what no one can break,
I know I love you, if that's all we can take,
the tears are coming down, they're mixing with the rain,
I know I love you, if that's all we can take.
"All I Need"

I know I love you, if that's all we can take,

Lyrics to Live By
So here you are now, nowhere to turn
It's just the same old yesterday
You made a promise to yourself
That you were never gonna be this way
And the only thing that you've ever known is to run
So you keep on drivin' faster into the sun
But everybody needs somebody sometimes
Yeah, everybody needs somebody sometimes
"Everybody"

Lyrics to Live By
I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded and unfolded and unfolding
I am colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am fine
"Colorblind"

No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside

Lyrics to Live By
I got my ticket for the long way ‘round
Two bottles of whiskey for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
And I’m leaving tomorrow, what-do-you say?
When I’m gone
When I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
"Cups"
