Tell me a story
But don't tell me how it ends
There's pleasure in the process
Pleasure in the process
It's been a day now
A week, a month, a year
So what have you got to tell me?
What have you got to tell me?
Seems like everybody's heading somewhere
Even if they've got nowhere to be
So come out and play
Shut up and say
Something that moves me
You're five by five
There is no justice
So forget about right and wrong
There's no such thing as progress
But there's pleasure in the process
Seems like everybody's heading somewhere
Even if they've got nowhere to be
So come out and play
Shut up and say
Something that moves me
You're five by five
Seems like everybody's heading somewhere
Even if they've got nowhere to be
So come out and play
Shut up and say
Something that moves me
You're five by five

Give Up

Turns of phrase, twists of tongue
So much age for one so young
Whilst I wonder from whence you came
There are so few who know your name
Asymmetry, but a propos
Drawn to what we do not know
So surreal, I'll take the chance
And return that longing glance
Shit gets real, find the door
Before you feel anything more
Lights come on, take the stage
Tell the stories from that page
The one you wrote before my eyes
Inspired there between my thighs
Disappear as you arrived
Without warning, by surprise
[CHORUS]
Now all I see are recurring themes
Morbid patterns, broken dreams
Struggling to learn what it means
But it means nothing at all
It takes up space inside my head
Bleeds me dry, leaves me for dead
For all the times that it's been said
You'd think by now that I'd have given up on love
Silence is deafening, it's true
Desperately waiting for a signal to come through
Eventually you'll walk away
And lie to yourself that it's better off this way
Maybe someday I'll understand
Why nothing seems to go as planned
Starting back now at square one
For the record, it's been fun
[CHORUS]

You can't always be high
It can't always be good
You don't always comply
When you know that you should
You do the best that you can
Take the ebbs with the flows
In this strange, fickle world
That's just the way that it goes
[CHORUS]
It's a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
A reminder to self that you're still alive
A promise and a plea to make it to another day
Then a 6 and a 7 and an 8, 9, 10
Time to get on up and do it all again
Don't shoot the messenger before you hear what he's got to say
There's a knock at the door
But there's nobody home
Even when you're inside
You like being alone
You can fight the good fight
Get your head in the game
But at the end of the day
Is it all not the same
[CHORUS]
While the story plays out
Before they take final bows
There's still a cast on the stage
'Til the curtain comes down
[CHORUS]

Wind Me Up

Maybe he loves me
Maybe he loves me not
Maybe he's scared, unsure, unhinged
And just likes to fall in love a lot
Maybe I'm in over my head and should just leave it alone
It's a sticky situation
Feels like an eternity
I think the fear of the uknown
Is gonna be the death of me
I breathe in, breathe out, keep calm 'til he looks my way
[CHORUS]
I'm a wind up toy, baby, don't you wanna come and play?
Crank me up, watch me lose control, and dance the night away
Push the button, turn the dial
You can try to hide that smile
But I'm fairly sure I know you're/your game
You can wind me up today if you want me to stay
The quiet scares me
It can be unsettling
Because the moment that he's gone
The real world catches up with me
It's the crash after the high that keeps you craving more
[CHORUS]
[CHORUS]
