"Jaws Theme Swimming"

In a car outside, we stalk the idle kind.
If you're leaving, just let me know.
Tobacco and peppermint, dusting for fingerprints.
A film in her eyes from the glow.

Some rules are made with all intentions to break
And she defends it with a warped rationale.
And I've seen what happens to the wicked and proud
When they decide to try to take on the throne for the crown.

[Chorus:]
And we learn as we age.
We've learned nothing and my body still aches.
And you take cause they give.
Though I love you and my body it leaks like a sieve.

When it got old outside, smoke beneath the playground lights.
If you're coming home, just let me know.
Sucking on your breath mint, dissected and stuck with pins.
A film in her eyes from the glow.

Concrete and water, she's looking for her daughter
At midnight in torrential downpour.
And everything I said about how messed your head is,
Was cut up and left in bits and pieces on the cutting room floor.

[Chorus x2]

Take the picture from the wall when you think that nothing matters.
Take the picture from the plane and it's a long ways to the floor.
Cut your finger on the edge cause it's sharper than they told you.
Take a leap from out the window cause it's way too far to go through the door.

[Chorus]

The No Seatbelt Song

So it's sad this doesn't suit you now
and me fresh out of rope
Please ignore this lisp
I never meant to sound like this
So take me and break me
and make me strong like you
I'll be forever grateful to this and you

It's only you beautiful, or I don't want anyone
If I can choose it's only you

Fix me to a chain around your neck
and wear me like a nickel
Even new wine served in old skins cheapens the taste
I shot the pilot,
I'm begging you to fly this for me
I'm here for you to use, broken and bruised
Do you understand?

It's only you beautiful, or I don't want anyone
If I can choose it's only you
But how could I miscalculate,
perfect eyes will have perfect aim
If I can choose its only you

We're wrecking
and I'm dry like a drum with springs
So fine, I'll leave...
we're spent and...
we take our time in trials...
measured in miles...
we slave for days and we...

It's only you beautiful, or I don't want anyone
If I can choose it's only you

How could I miscalculate
perfect lies from a perfect aim
If I can choose it's only you
