Can I see you? This time’s too wild for just me And you know everything Will hopefully Be just fine It’ll take time Just like it did to make you mine and I'm yours But I’m just so tired Can I see you? This time’s too wild for just me And you know everything Will hopefully Be just fine It’ll take time Just like it did to make you mine and I'm yours But I’m just so damn tired right now I’m feeling lazy cause you’re out of town I said I’d do my homework but I’m still here on the couch Many phases of the moon dream the Milky Way above And I’m crawling on the ceiling waiting for you to come Oh and it seems so long Doing nothing just feels like I’m doing something wrong And you can think about it all night Send your love through a satellite And I’ll try and keep up the pace Punctuate my dreams with a smiley face Bare foot on the green grass, Adagio Maybe move to New South Wales and grow hemp and wild mangos Oh and it seems so long Doing nothing just feels like I’m doing something wrong And you can think about it all night Send your love through a satellite And I’ll try and keep up the pace Punctuate my dreams with a smiley face And I know it seems it’s so hard sometimes We can lay in the yard while the world crumbles and stare at the sky And I think we’ll be just fine, you and I What a, what a fucking crazy time

I saw her In my dream side She said tell me what you remember about last night Not much I said Not anything of note You and me I let you borrow my coat And I miss summertime The hot sand and grapevine wine and me and my Your swimming pool high I’m just thinking about that dream I had last night Another year gone by another time to dissatisfy You refrain and feel the same then runaway Say my name then runaway and feel the same You refrain and feel the same then runaway Say my name then runaway and feel the same You refrain and feel the same then runaway Trouble time, your dream side, tell me what you remember about that night

She’s the only one who picks me up when I’m down Strawberry leaves and 2am curls roll around And I’m bleeding blackberry wine, and she’s Crying all about her vibes And I don’t know what to make of any of this And I want to know just what she wants I want to know just what I want I know (know know know) And if I had the hours Then I’d be selling you sunflowers And fall on my chest to say Pretend you love me for the day And she’s bleeding blackberry wine, and I’m Crying all about my vibes And I don’t know what to make of any of this And I want to know just what I want I want to know just what she needs I know (know know know) And if I had the hours Then I’d be selling you sunflowers And fall on my chest to say Pretend you love me for the day (The whole night sky is in my eyes when you’re laying by my side) Her love is always floating around my mind As the Earth changes seasons from Summer skies And I’m bleeding mulberry wine, and she’s Smiling all about her vibes And I don’t know what to make of any of this And I want to know just what she wants I want to know just what I want I know (know know know) And if I had the hours Then I’d be selling you sunflowers And fall on my chest to say Hope you love me for the day She is so beautiful I confess And I know my love just bit too obvious (ooooooh) There's no one I’d rather with anytime

Museum Scene 06:41
Morning song Sung to the streets Skin to Skin underneath the bubbles and the secrets they keep And he's dosing off He not into the crowd (not into the crowd) Intoxicated by the way her words come out Morning song (morning song) Singing to the streets (singing to the streets) The bath is colder now than the gas stove of memories And they see the world in black and white And think it’s actually black and white But it’s not really all black and white He’s a tightrope And he’s a scarecrow Don’t get too close and be pulled into his black sun Let me hold you on the balcony Right next to the sea And what even is the sea? Come love me in the garden Although the paths are full of honey bees and smoke signs Don’t spill that wine on your patterned shirt You make me wanna hurt Watering all your sunny vines But rainy days made you and I He’s a tightrope He’s a tightrope And he’s a scarecrow He’s a scarecrow Oh no no no no And what even is the sea? What even is the sea? Smoke rings as we lay unclear On the roof looking over the edge of time And thinking, how the hell did we get here? Take off you jacket I want to understand Spin the wheel I want to understand Turn the water I want to understand I need to understand If only I could understand If only I Come love me in the garden Although the paths are full of honey bees and smoke signs Don’t spill that wine on your patterned shirt You make me wanna hurt Watering all your sunny vines But rainy days made you and I

(Janice and Liam autotuning) Well it’s November 3rd And it’s as bleak as a magazine An overall sunny day And a month from 17 And I know it seems I don’t do much and I’m lazy But that’s alright by me Well it’s been a year since he pulled up with blood on his hands And I scorched their mouths Standing in the kitchen And just like that we were off riding into the foggy night As soon as October’s here, October waves goodbye And when my oval comes on spinning spinning back around The color round my eyes starts falling down (Down Down Down Down Down) And it drips down on my cheeks and down my neck And on my hands when I crawl back into bed I bet you don’t remember the campus in the fall His pilgrimage, they grow far and tall He hasn’t ever really calmed me down Concentrating incense on the east side of town And he moved a little west, no more black roads to drive As soon As November’s here November waves goodbye And when my oval comes on spinning spinning back around The color round my eyes starts falling down (Down Down Down Down Down) And it drips down on my cheeks and down my neck And on my hands when I crawl back into bed And I’ll make it clear that I’m your boy, I’m only yours Do whatever you wanna do to even the score And no fireworks or foam filled fights As Soon As December’s here December waves goodbye

Intertwined 03:37
I haven't been out like that in long time And I know that she says she's alright But I know it’s wrong I look like a Navy captain from ‘45 And I know that’s a weird comparison to make But it’s all I got I haven’t been out like that in a long time And I’m laughing loud with droopy eyes At another night And I know that she wants to be so intertwined In all the material appetites That draw her down Rolled by the water that’s running red I think He hit his head on the feelings Of his older self Staring at the sky I can see a million worlds From the rubber floor I’m sorry if sometimes I get a little bored It’s nothing to worry your mind My black shirt collected fuzz throughout the day But I didn’t mind all the ways My mind flew when she texted if I had the time To go watch the gloomy sunrise and talk awhile And so I sat back and watched her attentive eyes As I defended my walls and felt trapped inside This glass dome and synthetic sun Staring at the sky I can see a million worlds From the rubber floor I’m sorry if sometimes I get a little bored It’s nothing to worry your mind Staring at the sky I can see a zillion worlds From the rubber floor I’m sorry if sometimes I get a little bored It’s nothing to worry your mind I said it’s nothing to worry your mind Nothing to worry your mind She wants to feel so intertwined Nothing to worry your mind

It’s been so long since I’ve seen her (so long) And how am I supposed to be? Do I look her in the eyes? Do I keep em to the side? Or do I let em fall at my feet? (fall at my feet) I’m not crazy about you And it feels so strange, feels so strange And I’m not crazy anymore Don’t tell me what we used to do Don’t tell me too That birthday was on a cold night (cold night) And colder than I could be But with her by my side I could laugh at his high And look the other one right in her eyes (her eyes) I’m not crazy about you And it feels so strange, feels so strange And I’m not crazy anymore Don’t tell me what we used to do Don’t tell me too I’m not crazy about you And it feels so strange, feels so strange And if you’re glad we cleared things up then Me too You don’t care You don’t care and it shows It shows that you don’t care Never there Never there Never in my mind anymore And I know you And you won't change until Until it’s time to change! Don’t tell me to Tell me to Tell me to go home

And when I come to You’re lightin up in that thrift store dress with Makeup pouring down your neck and my Head laying on your chest and now I spent the autumn in Utrecht building a house and now I’m coming down And when the air whips through the window From far enough away you can’t tell laughing from crying Maybe I’ll run a bath to help rid my mind of my problems And I See you callin from all the way down the street I can see your smile from a thousand feet And you live in a Castle in the forest Want me to sign some sort of union to tell me that I’ll always love everything Won’t you figure it out Your battle plans are written on napkins From a restaurant Down the corner And when I come to I’m half out in medieval dress With a prince bishop asking what I said And I’m like I have no clue with anyone else And her headlights can’t tell her where to go cause the forest is black and its’ Cold, and were watchin the moon rise so slow Cause when I come to I look up and I only see You I can’t tell where I am but I Sure know where I’m going to

Guys 03:33
And I know that it sucks when the homies say they got Stuff to do Why don’t you come over, help me see things through And I can tell you that I never know what you’re gonna wanna do And we ran Pressed up like Halloween Probably listening to something we can’t see Don’t worry I think There’s a first time for everything and I don’t know what you mean Guys! I don’t know what you mean I don’t know what you’ll think That summertime feeling We’re laughing to scream And we sat right down and she paid for my green beans Riding three there’s never any leg room in the back of his car And maybe I’ll see you again either in my film or in my mind afar And warm skin hot enough to melt the forest snow (Let it go) There’s a first time for everything and I don’t know what you mean Guys! I don’t know what you mean I don’t know what you’ll think That nerve-racking feeling My jacket on her floor And the taste on my lips, locks frozen to the door There’s a first time for everything and I don’t know what you mean Guys! I don’t know what you mean I don’t know what you’ll think That good time feeling When I’m laughing on the floor And the homies help me up To go and find some more

(Ok take us there Aiden) Neptune up above And I know you, it’s Trans-Neptunian love For any time, I know it’s me And it’s so far out you’ll see Super cluster, it’s waiting to be Come up and climb with me (ah) Saturn up above Cosmic rings and devoid of Any kind of Safranin Saturnine figures crawling down slow The way she looks in her kaleidoscopic glow Moody kinds of love only her and I know (woo) Jupiter up above Cosmic rings not devoid of Any kind of you loving me And me loving you right back you’ll see And I know we’re in the corner of where we should be It’s just you and me
11.
She’s the only one who picks me up When I’m down And I was down a lot Down a lot Sometimes when you’re lonely you forget What you’re like when you’re not I hope me and my same old outfits Can satisfy Every part of her worried mind Where’s he gone? That old guy The younger me Probably ‘way for good At the station now We can only hope A cloudy night A foggy air Rooftop strawberry meteors And back to the time of incense streams And misty nights And seldom lights and corner time And muffled sounds Well I dug myself out of quite the hole From that Spring of sufferin’ It was the peppermint on the tab for food To expensive to have eaten And I the willing patron But this one she’s something different And I promise I’ll always find the hours To be by your side selling you sunflowers And fall on my chest to say I’ll always love you anyway

Well Martin called to Charlie Said “give me back my world!” “Cause Freddy’s at home on the couch getting high and bored” And I’ve never been lost before I’ve never been lost before I’ve never been lost before (woo) And you never ever loved me And that beats me to the core And you never ever loved me And I’m not high getting bored I’ve never been lost before I’ve never been lost before I’ve never been lost before (I’ve never been lost before) Sometimes I wanna fly Forget all the past and what you did to my life To my eyes Well up the street from Worms Theres a tavern where all the kids meet to discuss dinner plans And I’ve never been but I’ve heard it’s velvet Nothing special and wet like old carpet I’ve never been lost before I’ve never been lost before I’ve never been lost before (ahhhhhhhhhh) Well I got 95 reasons why I don’t need you in my life I got 95 reasons why I don’t need you in my life And you sped down the road Right next to my lies I never understood why you were Still in my eyes Cause I’ve never been lost before I’ve never been lost before I’ve never been lost before You never ever loved me And I’m fine with that now I don’t try to understand what you’re doing What you’re having all your doubts Cause I’ve surely been lost before
13.
Sometimes I’m scared of a good love The clock that turns the day Ice cold, her black skirt went and wrapped around her legs And I’m going all alone She sews up all my seems (you know it’s true and) She wants to live in my dreams (I know you do and) I’m hanging out in sleeping bag of memories And I think that should be enough of a guarantee Sometimes I’m all alone and I think that that’s just fine I know that the same sometimes also doesn’t apply And I don’t want her to know it’s me (don’t want her to know it’s me) Dripping out like oil from a Myrtaceae tree I’m hanging out in a sleeping bag of memories, you’ll see Help me undo the zipper and get myself free Won’t you please
14.
I don’t listen To myself Sometimes I do want to but it’s so hard to try And I can’t rub my eyes Well I left before she dropped It felt like a fever dream My shorts smelled like champagne I didn’t drink anything It must have been some chlorine scene Crystal television I noticed that thinking all I could About her I sat Smelling northern lights On the couch Red eyes and flashing lights Thinking back crying out my head He told me Remember what Fin said

about

Selling Sunflowers is the phrase that has stuck with me for the past year. I don't know what it means but this album tries it's best to answer that. This is the reason for many late nights and late assignments. Hope you like it it, -Liam
