Water Signs

I'd never seen anyone in their underwear before
I'd never stuck around to see what's under there for sure
But Ava used to tell it like it is
Said there's more to life than wives and kids
But I'd never seen anybody else in their underwear
An American flag and string lights on a conifer
An American dream in a town full of commoners
But Ava always made it crystal clear
Romance only lasts a fiscal year
But I'd never really tried to just be myself before
In dire straights on my flight
Who's gonna love me in the middle of the night
Got off the plane only to find
Ava's still raising cain in my mind she
Replies I'm such a water sign
I don't even know what that means
Don't try if you're seeking dollar signs
You can't make a living off dreams
But oh my love is a fever
I'll love her still then I'll leave her she
Replies I'm such a water sign
Fish don't have a say in these things anyway
I'd never seen anyone in their underwear before
A decade later and now I'm too cool to care and poor
But bloodied and bruised I stagger on
And when all my stab wounds are gone
I'll forget the pain and remember the reason I swam ashore
Oh my God I know I can take it
I can hear her words in my head
She replies I'm such a water sign
I don't even know what that means
Don't try if you're seeking dollar signs
You can't make a living off dreams
But oh my love is a fever
I'll love her still then I'll leave her she
Replies I'm such a water sign
Fish don't have a say in these things anyway

Let's collaborate synergistically
Conceptualize deliverables
Enable profitability
Streamline company principles
It's all business jargon
Love's got no business starting at half-past noon
It's just me and you and the copy room
Examine our portfolios
Visualize fungibility
Us and HR should only know
Our emerging channel diversity
It's all corporate nonsense
Let's get it corporate on since it's almost three
It's just you and me and the fax machine
Seamlessly fashion principle-centered users
Monotonically incentivize elastic outsourcing
Dramatically enable backend convergence efficiently
Efficiently so efficiently
Let's collaborate synergistically
(Collaborate)
Conceptualize deliverables
(Conceptualize)
Enable profitability
Streamline company principles
It's all business jargon
Love's got no business starting at half-past noon
It's just me and you and the copy room
(This copy room)

LA's not much of a view
Bitter thoughts bitter thoughts
They're best kept a secret
Success ain't following you
Better thoughts better thoughts
They're just out of reach it's
Enough to give you a panic attack-ack-ack
Enough to give you a
A City ripe to pollute
Dry heat and Summer smoke
Bake me to pieces
We're lost with nothing to lose
Except that first month's deposit for
Breaking our leases
You're a noose, You're old news
You're unused to loving like we used to
You're too afraid to be wrong and that's what's wrong with that
Take dirty looks that you gave me to the laundromat
You're too afraid that you'll fail and that's self sabotage
Once all that weight's off your back you'll need a back massage
Breathing smoke isn't great for an asthmatic
My lungs are stuck in traffic
I'd rather just not have it
All the stars in the sky wouldn't employ me
I'd eat my weight in soy meat
Those rich kids would destroy me
LA's not much of a home
Bitter thoughts bitter thoughts
Are best kept a secret
I've got me some dreams of my own
Better thoughts better thoughts
They're just out of reach, kid
You're too afraid to be wrong and that's what's wrong with that
Take dirty looks that you gave me to the laundromat
You're too afraid that you'll fail and that's self sabotage
Once all that weight's off your back you'll need a back massage
You're terrified that you'll fail you poor unhappy soul
Keep taking shots at my face behind your grassy knoll
You're so afraid that you go off like a firecracker
Once you pull your head down from there you'll need a chiropractor

NDA

I guess baby that's show biz
So those in the industry say
If I'm cast as her love interest
She'll make me sign an NDA
That's Hollywood politics
Love is dead or say the Gen Z say
Love's as real as the profit is
If you adhere to a NDA
I signed a nondisclosure agreement
To keep both our involvements a secret
If you want to shake hands with behemoths
You'll have to sign your love away
She won't hold my hand at the grove
Hell what would Ryan Seacrest say
I just eat my fancy lunch alone
Because she made me sign an NDA
I can't disclose that I love my woman
I can't say if I met her at all
But when the camera's gone
There's no more show then
She hangs my picture on the wall
I guess baby that's the city of stars
And for your consideration campaigns
Consider me for the leading part
But don't make me sign no NDA
Don't make me sign no NDA
I signed a nondisclosure agreement
To keep both our involvements a secret
If you want to shake hands with behemoths
You'll have to play how the Emmy's play
You'll have to write that damn screenplay
That's Hollywood baby anyway
You'll have to sign an NDA

You say it's not your fault
I don't think it's my fault either
No cards, no crystal balls
Baby I'm not your mind reader
Let's set the table
Let's try to talk it out
I don't think I'm able
To just go on without
You, it's all about you
It's all about us
Don't care what it's about cause I've had enough
Here we go again
How am I supposed to be your friend
If you never let me know about it
Never let me know about
Never let me know about
Never let me know about it
Been talking to the wall
Having better conversation
It listens when I talk
With you all I get is frustration
No more excuses
Half-assed apologies
I'm tired of telling you
The person that you ought to be
You, it's all about you
It's all about us
Don't care what it's about cause I've had enough
Here we go again
How am I supposed to be your friend
If you never let me know about it
Never let me know about
Never let me know about
Never let me know about it
I want to work it out
Is that a fantasy
You're not the handsome knight
They sent to rescue me
As far as I'm concerned
You're the one in distress
Damsels don't have to be
Helplessness in a dress
I want to work it out
Is that a fantasy
You're not the handsome prince
They sent to rescue me
As far as I'm concerned
You're the one in distress
Damsels don't have to be
Helplessness in a dress
You, it's all about you
It's all about us
Don't care what it's about cause I've had enough
Here we go again
How am I supposed to be your friend
If you never let me know about it
Never let me know about
Never let me know about
Never let me know about it
Ah!

Am I wrong
Or did I break in two
When you broke into
My heart
Were you right
Were you lead astray
By letting in a stray
In the dark
Dark
Once I opened
The horror's scoping
Out the stars in the sky
How could I let go
Archipelago
Floating inside my mind
Mind, mind
Am I weak
Disappointed and displaced
Cursed to stay in this place
While I'm falling apart
Were you right
Were you lead astray
By letting in a stray
In the dark
Dark
Once I opened
The horror's scoping
Out the stars in the sky
How could I let go
Archipelago
Floating inside my mind
How could I let go
How could I let go
