Act 1 Scene 1: A Drunk Man Breaks into a Spacelab
I’m gunna steal this ship and take this shit out to a different universe
(Are you sure you have the clearance for that?)
It doesn’t matter cuz I’m drunk as shit, don’t care if things any worse
(Wait a minute back up.. what happened?)
It’s been a few years and she looks too happy with this dude named Danny(Ok?)
I ran into them at the local brewery my homie called me a cabby
What was I supposed to do?
Go home and turn on the tube
Keep watching movies that make me miss you?
What was I supposed to do?
Go home and turn on the tube
How bout something that you wouldn’t approve
Like anime, or a Christopher Nolan film
Something where there’s like 3 different versions of Peter Parker
Or one of those cartoon movies with like a darker older version of Batman from an alternate universe
Wait a minute.. alternate universe? We’re developing a spaceship like that at work…
What if there’s an different version of Maeve out there?
(So that’s why you’re here)
I’m gunna steal this ship and take this shit out to a different universe
I’m gunna find a different version of the girl that put me in a hearse
Maybe she’ll like me or maybe she won’t
Maybe she’s hotter than the one back home
I hope that she don’t believe in horoscopes
Maybe she’ll like me?
(Or Maybe She Won’t…)

What do you say?
What do I say?
We just skip all the bullshit and we just go straight to your place
Boy Go away
I didn't mean sex, I just thought I could hear you better?
I guess it's loud here(harmony to me saying It's kinda loud here)
It's not like I didn't notice baby
You're seconds away from a feeding frenzy
It's not like I didn't notice baby
You came to this place to just get away
But why leave with you?
Well... I'm not tryna scare you but I think I'd be good for you
Boy you don't even know my name
Okay let's start with your name... it's Maeve
wait
you're 28
um
You're in between jobs
not true
You live with your dog
What's a dog?
(Sonny there's no dogs in this universe)
Well maybe I got a few details wrong
But how many boys do you know in your life that would court you by breaking out into a song
My name's Sonny
You're not Funny
It's not like I didn't notice baby
You're seconds away from a feeding frenzy
It's not like I didn't notice baby
You came to this place to just get away
Let's fast forward to the part where you can't fucking stand me
Let's fast forward to the part where I hate all your family
Let's skip to the part where I need more commitment
I lost you once Maeve, I came here to do things different
You seem nice enough but...
It's hard to trust 'cuz
I wasted 2 years with my ex and it was rough bud
Try me Maeve
It's ok... unless you wanna hear about the girls he laid
So okay he cheated, but why should that stop us from enjoying this evening 'cuz
I came all the way from a different universe just to try and make it work, there's a few things that I learned like:
I would focus on the shit you did
My attitude could use a little work
Jealous of the friend you had at work, especially cuz I know you're such a flirt
I could've really laid off you at your work party that night
Yeah I saw him making you laugh but I didn't have to start that fight
You were miserable from 9 to 5, 5 days out of the week
and the last thing that you need is me just causing you more problems
Problems, let's skip to the part where we got problems
Rather be alone than try to solve them
A Romantic moment's just a means to an end

Bad Little shawty, says she’s not over her ex and she don’t wanna know me
It’s kinda discouraging
Dating in my late 20’s has been kind of rocky, but girl you ain’t the only one…
I met this girl last night, and I’m not gunna fuck this one up
She got her pronouns and “blm” “acab” displayed in her bio
I found that shit kinda peculiar so last night I asked her at dinner like,
“What about black cops?”
“Umm what about them?”
“No like… do you condemn them for having that job or does their life still matter to you?”
“You Conservative ASSWHOLE!”
“Wait.. I was just asking a question?”
“Well you shouldn’t have asked it!”
And she got up and left then
Was that my fault I’m not sure but it might have been
Some oats are sown, some hot, some cold
Pretty lil Mami
Dad owns a business and mom is a teacher
She seems really pleasant
That’s why I’m confused
why her truck had a sticker that said, “Come and Take it”
But girl I’m bout to find out
She said, “Sonny, could we first, get something real quick to eat?”
So I suggested this new vegan spot up the street, they require a proof of vaccine
She said, “I never got the vaccine and I don’t eat fake meat, are you some sort of liberal pussy?”
I’m not sure what that has to do with their chicken and waffles, girl trust me this stuff really isn’t that awful
“It sucks cuz I thought you were cute but my parents would never approve”
She got up and left then
Was that my fault I’m not sure but it might have been
Some oats are sown, some hot, some cold
I met this shawty in the club last night, it was emo night, on a tuesdayyyyyyy
We had a back and forth about all of the bands that they never play at these, we both wish they would
Somehow we got to talking bout how much we hate all the ads they got on youtube these days
She put her drink down and grabbed my hand, I’m feeling optimistic
And now we’re dancing
Nothing dirty, just innocent
and then she asked me
hey what month were you born in?
I said September
She said you virgo piece of shit
I said I’m sorry?
Yeah I’m sorry too, I quit you ass holes last year
I’m not sure I follow you?
It’s called astrology, and we’re far from compatible
That just might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard
That's it I’m leaving….
We used to go to every after school event just to sit in the bleachers and hold hands
We used to go to every movie and not ever know whatever the fuck they were about
We used to spend all day just walking in the mall and buy nothing
Somewhere down the line I swear to God we all became monsters cuz we never get along
I just might be destined to grow old and lonely, poor-ass has-been
You just might be destined for bad jobs and bills and a bad husband
Maybe you’re insufferable or
Maybe I could be more humble

Sonny and Sally

Sonny’s got a funny way of picking’ them out
I got him sniffing through his “Hall of Shame” while he was blacked out
I guess he’ll never learn a Gotdamn thing
Sally’s got a funny way of picking them out
What she teacher her new boyfriend, she learned from Sonny’s house
I guess she’ll never learn a Gotdamn thing
You always liked my sweater
I always loved your temper
Maybe it’d be better if we weren’t together
Pull out the Decanter
(I’m) as good for you as Cancer
Maybe it’d be better if we got back together
Sonny’s got a funny way of sticking around
Even though she yelled at him in public over an ounce
He never
Even smoked a gotdamn thing
Never smoked a gotdamn thing
Sally’s got a funny way of digging around
It didn’t take too long for her to figure out he was banned from every
Tiki bar in Bakersfield
You always liked my sweater
I always loved your temper
Maybe it’d be better if we weren’t together
Pull out the Decanter
(I’m) as good for you as Cancer
Maybe it’d be better if we got back together
Maeve created a monster, Cuz nobody wants to see sonny since he ain’t been sober since October
Of 20 eleven
Love was just a field of fallen soldiers and resin
How many fucking time(s) (do) we gotta meet up at chevron,
Tell me why I eat toxic masculinity up for breakfast?
I blame you Maeve…
For why I’m having trouble getting along with Sally
All that’s gotta change
I’m floating out in space
No Luck for me and Maeve(s)
Was all of this a Waste
I Can’t deny I got kicked out of Tiki Co, on my own accord
I Can’t deny I raised my voice at your best friend, even if her boyfriend was mouthing off
Can’t deny that I made an inappropriate joke
Yeah I can’t deny I got shit I’m sorry for
Can’t deny I left earth for something unreliable,
Can’t deny I should’ve spent more time with you

I can’t take it
Another unhappy day on this planet
All my friends
Can’t stand them
They all got degrees in political science on insta-
Grampa called me an asswhole and chuckled
As if he’d known it’s the last time I’d see him
I’ve been letting myself go
My friend disagreed(but I think that she’s in the same boat)
I’m not as drunk as you think right now
Cuz I still haven’t texted me ex-girlfriend yet
It’s not as bad as you think
I’m on a “casual bender”
I just fake it
Another wet handshake to give to your parents
Make amends
For Past things
I might as well have a degree and a masters in acting
Parents lasted for 20, my Brother did 2
I’m shooting for 3 when I’m 50
I’ve been taking up yoga and I don’t feel down dog, lately
But I keep my shirt on!
I’m not as drunk as you think right now
Cuz I still haven’t texted me ex-girlfriend yet
It’s not as bad as you think
I’m on a “casual bender”
It started like a stupid fucking carrot on a stick
Chasing you and maybe I’m just thinkin’ with my (hahaha)
So what’s it that makes you so cyclical?
You prob’ly think I’m too typical
So what’s it to you,
If I wake up dreading the thought of something to prove?
Nothing compares to that feeling of something new
One day this room might stop spinning
But I’m still convinced that I’m winning
I can’t take it
Another unhappy day with my habits
All my friends
Can’t stand me
They all got degrees in psychology when they come check on me
It’s just as bad as you think
I’m on a casual bender

"You’re probably out of service
Well… lately I’ve been working at this fucking high school
Dealing with some bad kids
You’ve been out there touring
Making lots of bad friends"
"Have you been running from your unpaid loans
A series of squares and cows and mobile homes
Your brother’s friend just moved in Seven Oaks
One of my students lost both of her folks"
Got recognized for my music while sitting patiently at the local urgent care
I pray to god hoping that he didn’t overhear the nature of my visit here
I’m so Drunk on the past that my future’s already Hungover
"You’re probably out of service
That’s what I tell myself when you’re ignoring me on purpose
Fuck it, I’ve been working
You had to find yourself
So I had to find a… boyfriend"
"Held on to every old shirt of your band
A Series of Premature lyrics at best
Heard you’re with someone you argue with less
'Agreeable Temperament' at what expense?"
The Grass May Not always happen to be much greener on all the other smith machines
But If I stumble on Healthy Soil, it’s only fair that I show Transparency
I might give you up
I might let you down
I might run around and desert you
I might make you cry
I might say goodbye
I might tell a lie and hurt you

Red Flag Football

She’s showing up late to our dinner date, tryna laugh it off and she say she hopped up on her prescription pills
I’m running it late on my bills(unpaid) tryna laugh it off, but I gotta buckle up, dinner is all on me(fuck up my credit score)
I won’t tackle you
If you won’t tackle me
Let’s just play this game
Try to keep it safe
We’re playing a game of Red! Flag! Football!
And baby the score is tied(baby the score is tied)
We’re playing a game of Red! Flag! Football!
And baby the score is tied(baby the score is tied)
You must be a catch or there’s a catch
I’d ignore your past for all that ass
You think I’m a catch but there’s a catch
Just ignore my past for all this ass
So When was the last time that you talked to your parents
“Huh? I never talk to my parents”
Oh. She’s got a bad relationship with her parents(Red Flag)
When was the last time that you talked to your exes
Umm I’m actually friends with all of my exes
“Is this dude really friends with all of his exes?”
(Red Flag)
I hopped up in her whip, that shit was riddled with plastic bottles and Ritalin, old bags of grass and chicken strips
She walked up in my room that shit could use a broom, shit I forgot to pick all my smut, empty bottles and plastic cups
I shouldn’t tackle you
Please Don’t Tackle Me
Let’s just play this game
Let’s just keep it safe

My High School Reunion
03:35
|
|||
|
I gotta take time away from touring
Gunna make sure I make the Reunion
Went and bought a purple suit, the day of
Trying to avoid talk of my income
Loren Wines became a doctor
I took shots with Todd and Sonic
Charles gave a real nice speech
And I still have a crush on Bri, but
I’m so fucking Glad we’re still friends
We should meet again in 10 more years
I’m so fucking glad we’re still friends
We don’t gotta wait for 10 more years
And some of them got kids
And some of them own homes
One time I drove a coked out stripper to the hospital
Then we reminisced
On when we were all kids
Why did we all insist on wearing boxers in PE?
Andrew Worth became a doctor
I took shots with nick and navi
Karaoke with Holiday
I still have a crush on Nadia
I’m so fucking Glad we’re still friends
We should meet again in 10 more years
I’m so fucking glad we’re still friends
We don’t gotta wait for 10 more years
I was insecure for ten years
that my friends would judge me for not
Getting my degree in something
But turns out they just support me
People often ask me
How exactly is it that I find a
Sense of pride in my hometown
My honest answer is: “Just look around”

Is it the coffee?
Or maybe the pills in the morning but
We might like our Chemistry set, a little bit too much
Whether it’s wine in the evening or
Bowls before eating but
We might like our chemistry set, a little bit too much
I think everybody at this brunch table is sad
A little champagne with some OJ just to forget the past
And if it all comes down to picking between boredom and suffering
I think I’ll always choose suffering
I know why you keep leaving(Tryna fix your chemistry)
I was nervous all evening(Can we fix our chemistry?)
This might be the making of just a memory
That feeling is fading, it’s just a memory
i hadn’t thought of it lately
but maybe this craving
is just a way to get u closer
do i deserve ur touch?
and i know u quit that
but ur an enigma
if it’s not like that we can dissolve into
a simpler base
And he sacrificed his sanity to pay for her security
And every night she falls asleep smiling
Are we living in a gray twilight that knows not victory or defeat?
I know why you keep leaving(Tryna fix your chemistry)
I was nervous all evening(Can we fix our chemistry?)
This might be the making of just a memory
That feeling is fading, it’s just a memory
I’m turning 29 this year I’m pushing 30 for real
My 10 year high school reunion’s in November
I fear that I might show up wet and reckless
I’ll be coming off tour with Gold Necklace
I said it in "Self Aware" I’m more out of control than ever
Finally got that decade under the influence come this September
(We used to be this dying breed…)
I sit and sip wine on this Bakersfield night
Searching for a feeling that we had at one time
I see you in this asian girl I met recently
I get nervous tryna convince her of my decency
She asked me “Who did you vote for?”
I Lied and said “Biden of course”
She smiled in relief
I Can’t let her find out I’m not even registered
We took a sip of sake just to balance out our chemistry
My LA tongue is weary trying not to be embarrassing
I still don’t understand what qualifies as “problematic”
People relate to my music and I don’t understand them
In a world where I’m one tweet away from losing my job
I’ve come to understand that I will just never be enough for them
Enough for them
Could I be enough for you?
Cuz I’m not enough for them
Could I be good for you?
Cuz I’m truly not good for them
Your father pulled me aside and said, “Love will never be like the movies”
“Will you waste my daughters time?”
“Will you give up when she gets moody?”
Will I drown in this fountain of youth before I get on your insurance?
I’m poor excuse for an adult… and…
I’m still tryna find out…
Could I be enough for you?
Cuz I’m not enough for them
Could I be good for you?
Cuz I’m truly not good for them
Could I be enough for you?
Cuz I’m not enough for them
Could I be good for you?
Cuz I’m truly not that good

We could’ve had a son or a daughter by now how did we manage to fuck that up?
Cardigans, split ends, the dead skin on our lips, our history, slipped from my sweaty grip
Got Married Poor so we lived in a morgue, in a basement we struggled to fall asleep
I hope you show up to my funeral cuz you’d have the best stories to tell of me
Was It something I did?
"More like something you said…"
I… can’t remember that night, why the hell did we fight?
"You…called me a phony a fake social advocate, I cried"
Oh yeah that’s right, I’m a funny guy right?
Heard you’re getting married soon, It’s not how your younger self had pictured it
"Heard you think your some rockstar but you’re just a glorified local act"
A wedding’s just a going a way party for all of your friends
Thanks for the dance, thanks for the cash, (We’ll) never see your ass again!
Was it something I did?
"More like someone you did"
How many times have I apologized?
Plus we weren’t even dating then…
"That doesn’t change the fact that was my best friend ho!"
Don’t make me bring up prom 2012 girl!
Heard your getting married soon, he doesn’t know half the shit you listen to
"Heard you think you’re quite the poet, you just recite our past and don’t you know it"
Girl that’s not true, if that were true, got to admit, I’m good at it…
Cardigans and split ends and dead...
"yeah I get it…. Ok you win"
A wedding’s just a means of forgetting who you were in the past
Thanks fore the laughs, thanks for the gasps, never see your ass again
I first met you in the parking lot of rocking roots back in 2010,
"who would’ve known back then"
I’d spend every weekend sitting on a couch at your cousins house,
"pretending to like the movie 'Rent' for me"
It’s ironic cuz I like that movie now,
"It’s ironic cuz you thought it was a cringy musical
Now you’re nothing but a cringy musical yourself"
How do I, get back to jumping on a couch with you blasting from first to last
"How do I get back to songs about promises of how you wouldn’t burn out fast"
How do I get you to apologize for being way to honest that it pushed me away
"How do I get you to apologize for leaving me alone when I needed you most"
I just keep trying love over and over again, just to wish that I had made it work the first time
I just keep trying love over and over again, just to wish that I still had you by my side

Really great. If you like Hail the Sun, DGD, I can't recommend these guys enough. This is one of my favourite albums of all time. Dwellings makes swancore with a twist - to my ears they have a more progressive-focused sound, and the lyrics and themes are always interesting and are what keeps bringing me back for another listen.
