what is this
that I'm fighting for?
from the hall I saw
the light underneath your door
you take your coffee with
artificial sweetener
you say her name as if
I would never meet another
well I'm sold
highways and bridges
they twist and they divide
when school is over
I'm hoping i'll have more time
but when I call you up
you are already gone
and I'm left wondering
what it is I have done
I don't know
you take your coffee with
artificial sweetener
you say her name as if
I would never meet another
well I'm sold
well I'm sold
yeah I'm sold

Jacob you have got me
on the edge of my seat
you're in no hurry
to share the news with me
and no one's looking at me now
feels too much like lying
but everyone has lied,
so share the news with me
saying nothing is just a lazy
way of saying goodbye baby
I know this cos
I've been on both sides
saying nothing is just a lazy
way of saying goodbye baby
but I'm too scared
to come down from this high

Another City

Did the wind make you long for
another city, perhaps another time?
cos the heat made me wander
but you are better, more virtuous than I
Lines on maps they are not at all
like I thought they would appear to be in real life
if they were clear cut and if they were defined
then I wouldn't paint and I wouldn't write
maybe its the company I keep
or all the songs I've been listening to
before I go to sleep
is this as good as
where you thought you would be
is this what you pictured for yourself
when you were 23?
I have done half of my share
of the straying, I know I get so scared
you have done half of your share
of the staying, you're more virtuous than I
I had a dream that you were all alone again
honey what would I do, if I was all alone again?
what would I do without you?
maybe its the company I keep
or all the songs I've been listening to
before I go to sleep
is this as good as
where you thought you would be
is this what you pictured for yourself
when you were 23?

A Person Worth Knowing

I'm seven years older than I thought I would be when you'd turn around and you'd look at me and you'd say all of your songs sound the same and the meaning is mixed up
in complaining
now I never said I was an artist but I didn't let on that I had rehearsed and I left the notes that I took in my pocket when you questioned me I revealed everything
all at once
and did they really treat you that bad and do you wish you still had her, you had her, accountability is a funny thing and my dear you have got such a special set of charms
if there's no reward for worrying then I'm working too hard and I'll never win so keep on pretending that you're interested in me cos it makes me feel like
a person worth knowing

Minutes from June recommends:
Sadie has got to be my favorite guitarist (Tied with Stephen Malkmus). They put on an amazing, energetic live show. Thoughtful and powerful songwriting. Not a single Speedy song I don't like.
go to album
I guarantee you will have "Relaxed Lizard" on repeat. It's ridiculously infectious.
go to album
I saw Tancred open for Speedy Ortiz, what an amazing show. Jess has a beautiful voice, and she can really shred. Such a full sound from a three piece band.
