Mine

You can turn me on or you can turn me off
All right!
I'm tortured by these thoughts of you
That keep me up at night
You can shut me down or you can shut me up
That's fine!
One way or another
I'm gonna make you mine
For a good time, I know just who to call
It won't be just a name on the bathroom stall
You and I, we know the score
I'll always keep you coming back for more
You try your best to act like such a tease
But I know that you're so eager to please
I'll play along with you, if you insist
'Cause you're so tempting, I just can't resist
You can turn me on or you can turn me off
All right!
I'm tortured by these thoughts of you
That keep me up at night
You can shut me down or you can shut me up
That's fine!
One way or another
I'm gonna make you mine
Oh, I see the way you twist and turn
Well aware of just how much I yearn
To leave lipstick tattoos across your skin
And I just can't wait to dive right in
You can turn me on or you can turn me off
All right!
I'm tortured by these thoughts of you
That keep me up at night
You can shut me down or you can shut me up
That's fine!
One way or another
I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna make you mine
Don't you dream of playing hard to get
I'll give you a night you won't forget
We could have one dance
If you just give me a chance
No more second thoughts and no regrets
Here we are again, alone at last
No time for acting out, that moment's passed
Looks like this bed ain't big enough for two
So I guess the floor will have to do
You can turn me on or you can turn me off
All right!
I'm tortured by these thoughts of you
That keep me up at night
You can shut me down or you can shut me up
That's fine!
One way or another
I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna make you mine
Oooooh

Unsteady

You say there's always room for me upon your shelf
But how can I trust you when I don't trust myself?
You're tempted now, but I'm not trying to be coy
I don't deserve to be viewed as a living toy
I weaponize my hesitation
As an excuse, or an explanation
I'm just a little unstable
A little unsteady
I'm insatiable
But I know I'm not ready
I know you'd never hurt me, but I'm scared to decline
I'd say I'm indecisive
But I can't make up my mind
You look to me, because you know I'm in control
But you don't understand- your deference takes a toll
You dropped the ball, and now it's come back to my court
And we're not playing out of love of the sport
Have I got anything to lose?
Is it an explanation, or excuse?
I'm just a little unstable
A little unsteady
I'm insatiable
But I know I'm not ready
I know you'd never hurt me, but I'm scared to decline
I'd say I'm indecisive
But I can't make up my mind
Have I got anything to lose?
Is it an explanation, or excuse?
I'm just a little unstable
A little unsteady
I'm insatiable
But I know I'm not ready
I know you'd never hurt me, but I'm scared to decline
I'd say I'm indecisive
But I, but I'm just a little unstable
A little unsteady
I'm insatiable
And I know I'm not ready
I know you'd never hurt me, but I'm scared to decline
I'd say I'm indecisive
But I can't make up my mind

No Moss On This Stone

don't make friends easy
I don't know what to say
At the first sign of kindness
I just turn away
And I'm so used to leaving
That I never unpack
I just pick up the pieces
And I don't look back
I could have had a life of ease
But what I have is rarely what I need
Home is where the heart is, but my heart wants to fly
And the road unfolds beneath this Pennsylvania sky
And I can't find a reason not to roam
There's no moss on this stone
No moss on this stone
Every day I am woken
By the birds in the trees
And the brook with its babbling
Keeps me company
I am safe in my travels
Never stuck in one place
Knapsack on my shoulder
And the sun on my face
Don't need a place to hang my hat
'Cause when I tried, it just slid off the rack
Home is where the heart is, but my heart wants to fly
And the road unfolds beneath this Pennsylvania sky
And I can't find a reason not to roam
There's no moss on this stone
No moss on this stone
Can't call me a runaway if I didn't run
Can't say I'm homesick if I don't have one
A roof over my head keeps me confined
And my mind's always seeking exit signs
Some may speak of a warm hearth
And a welcome-home kiss
But since I never had that
There is nothing to miss
So if you're feeling restless
Lace the boots on your feet
How the open gate beckons!
Don't the roses smell sweet?
Home is where the heart is, but my heart wants to fly
And the road unfolds beneath this Pennsylvania sky
And I can't find a reason not to roam
There's no moss on this stone
No moss on this stone
I'm not going home
There's no moss on this stone

Weekend Activist
04:07

I heard the call for revolution
From your distant megaphone
You want to rewrite the Constitution
While you keep yourselves at home
You may think you're the authority
But you've never felt the sting
Speaking over the minorities
Criticizing everything
It's my business to whine
'Cause I'm a musician
And you're not better
Than a fucking politician
'Cause everyone loves a weekend activist
Who rallies 'round the flag, but won't attack
And that's all you are- a weekend activist
Waiting to be patted on the back
Let's send our love to Richmond
To show them that we care
The storefronts of Minneapolis
Are in our thoughts and prayers
And what's happening in Portland
Did those protests cause a row?
They're not civil or obedient
You know MLK would frown
And so you waste your airtime
Not giving them a say
Thinking justice can't be served
Unless it's done your way
And you ignore their viewpoints
You refuse to understand
So how's the ostrich feeling?
Are you safe under the sand?
'Cause everyone loves a weekend activist
Who rallies 'round the flag, but won't attack
And that's all you are- a weekend activist
Waiting to be patted on the back
If you wonder why
My praise is lenient
It's 'cause you only show up
When it's convenient
'Cause everyone loves a weekend activist
Who rallies 'round the flag, but won't attack
And that's all you are- a weekend activist
Waiting to be patted on the back
'Cause everyone loves a weekend activist
Who rallies 'round the flag, but won't attack
And that's all you are- a weekend activist
Waiting to be patted on the back
