  1. [Lyric] In Manhattan (Nation of Language)

    Strung along by a fiction Read it in a magazine Strung along by a fiction From a movie screen In Manhattan You cannot have it all Turn around for a picture Watching from the balcony Another hymn to addictions That your move between A glance back my way In Manhattan You cannot have it all I'm staring into the room I wish I’d known what I know I...Learn More

  2. [Lyric] The Grey Commute (Nation of Language)

    [Verse 1] I was in love That was enough I swear to god I'm coming apart, cut up Eyeing the mask Singing at last Consume and collapse It’s violence, violence Oh, oh [Chorus] Broken hands Begging at the altar of the grey commute Some of the weight We can't carry it [Verse 2] Hand on the wall Reading it wrong I look around but they covered...Learn More

  3. [Lyric] They’re Beckoning (Nation of Language)

    And they're beckoning Everything is calm The wilting, aching pain Extended forward All that I could hope for All that I could hope for All that I could hope for Something to buy, they're announcing Always in line for the wrong thing Measure the fines that we incur Feeling the fall when the phone rings Ceiling above, soft simmering I was in love...Learn More

  4. [Lyric] Whatever You Want (Nation of Language)

    Can you see around the corner Heartbreak, I want it Can you feel it when you walk on the water How I, I want it And whatever you want Wasting time Wandering around your floor And you'll find it's whatever you want I'm only reading all the numbers on the doors What I want Can you give another warning Now I, I want it I'm locked inside myself With...Learn More

  5. [Lyric] This Fractured Mind (Nation of Language)

    Reeling from the moment I stumbled on the life we left behind Crippling innuendo Unaffiliated but waiting on the side Drew a line Slightly undermined But I want to find Meaning, motion And help me out I can’t seem to dream about Anything I can defend I wonder now and then D’you think that I could simulate My life, but done a better way In this...Learn More

  6. [Lyric] A Word A Wave (Nation of Language)

    Finally torn asunder Fall asleep romanticizing Heartache in the city center Watering your pothos while you hum Aching for something you could save A word & a wave Kindly pull me under Softening the seconds As they're falling from the open window Carried on a careful quiet song Aching with nothing to be gained A word & a wave...Learn More

  7. [Lyric] Former Self (Nation of Language)

    Hope, un-pardoned on the shore Logged in volumes locked in drawers My former self says I could ask for more Away from you I cover it well But I may crumble I can't stop myself A careful world Something to guide my soul A way forward Song, enrapture and unfurl Love, remand me to the floor Lay my head back Candlelight for warmth My former self says...Learn More

  8. [Lyric] Miranda (Nation of Language)

    Is this a movie? Some kind of play, or a fantasy? We wait for what was said to be recalled And suddenly realize they won And it's a grind Every time that I got something, I'm always out of time Always out of line Always into something I could never quite describe I'll pick you up In Tennessee Miranda I was underwater when you made the call But...Learn More
