No Better Time - Kacey Johansing

At the core of the Earth It's too hot to breathe There's nothing much to eat And everybody leaves There's a place in the forest Where the animals dance Carefree and joyous, like nobody's watching And nobody's watching So they laugh and they dance Around mahogany trees Completely unawares they're gonna end up as meat And nobody's watching Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up Cry better next time Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up So, you know me, understand me Is that what you think? You haven't met the monster Who wakes up when I drink I was born out of time I'm not meant to be here With the weight of the world and the weight of a tear Are exactly the same Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up Cry better next time Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up Cry better next time Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up There's a spot in the ocean And that's where we'll meet Somewhere far away Where fish can nibble at our feet And we can grow fins, go back in the water Grow fins, go back in the water Grow fins, go back in the water Grow fins, go back in the water Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up Cry better next time Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up Cry better next time Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up It's a gas It's a party on this planet of flakes Somebody take a picture Before it's too late

We roll in every summer when there's strength in our numbers And your breath's hot and gross, but I kiss you like a lover Legs stick to the seats of the car someone grew into I forget the knowledge from the lessons that I went to And Jamie picks fights, but they're weak and short-lived Because no one can be bothered when it's humid like this And we roll in every summer like it's shameful to be underneath The ceiling or a roof, try come out and steal our thunder Now the days are getting cooler and the burning of our limbs Doesn't happen quite as bad, and the burn is just skin Deep in the fantasies and dreams of the winter Like the movies that we watched to pretend it wasn't winter And everywhere we go I can feel the subtle taste Of the deeds outgrown and the welcome overstayed And you're no better at swimming than you were in the beginning But you come over at night, and we practice all the breathing Go all the way, have your fun, have it all This will take you down Get through the days, do your thing, do it well This will take you down Go all the way, have your fun, have it all This will take you down Get through the days, do your thing, do it well This will take you down I'll pull the trick if I want to I'll pull the trick and it comes true I'm chewing gum and it's killing you We're getting dead, and it's the right way to do it I see you happy in the front seat I see you with all of your front teeth You're allergic, but you never said We're getting dead and it's the right way Go all the way, have your fun, have it all This will take you down Get through the days, do your thing, do it well This will take you down Go all the way, have your fun, have it all This will take you down Get through the days, do your thing, do it well This will take you down

Here you come draggin' in Three a.m. again Grinnin' that silly grin Smellin' just like sin Holdin' up that alibi that's tissue paper thin Diggin' down deeper and deeper In that hole you're already in If you can't lie no better If you can't lie no better If you can't lie no better than that You might as well tell the truth I know you been foolin' around With some fool from way 'cross town You're tearin' our good thing down Makin' me out your clown Lookin' for excuses that you know can't be found If you can't lie no better If you can't lie no better If you can't lie no better than that You might as well tell the truth And you could be more discreet With your love letters And honey, I smell some other man All over your Cashmere sweater If you can't lie no better If you can't lie no better If you can't lie no better If you can't lie no better than that If you can't lie no better If you can't lie no better If you can't lie no better than that You might as well tell the truth

I hate the way you cut me up I never liked the way you moved Whenever you're uncomfortable Because I was too close to you You always take up all the space There's never any left for me You promised that you'd stay awake Then you fall asleep on me You never share the blanket You always take it from me And baby I'm cold too But it makes me no better 'Cause I'm nothing without you Leaning in for a kiss, you turn away And start laughing saying missed me You know I hate that shit, now Get over here and kiss me Now, why would you run away? Would I ever break your heart? Or do you think we'd ever fall apart? 'Cause you like to blame me For being far away But baby you're far too But it makes me no better 'Cause I'm nothing without you I said it makes me no better 'Cause I'm nothing without you No nothing, I'm nothing no I've been lost, yeah I've been broken down And I've been alone But with you When I'm with you, I'm home I always say I love you more Do you really have to leave? You promised me one more song Baby, will you dance with me? I'll spin you around, oh-oh I'll fall to the ground
