She's You 03:56
she doesn’t care what she wears, or how her hair looks in the morning and she’ll be sure not to look before she leaps without a warning she knows a lie by those eyes so don’t try to keep a secret but she can’t believe the heart that’s on my sleeve is hers and she can keep it she isn’t anyone ordinary she isn’t anyone new she isn’t anyone she’s you she’s you, you, you she’s you, you, you and my most favorite girl to see is her with me as long as she is you she doesn’t fight, because she’s always right and I don’t like to argue cuz she’s too sweet and even if I could compete I wouldn’t want to she knows my lies in these four eyes so why wouldn’t I be true when everytime I do she comes through yes she does and it’s all because she isn’t anyone ordinary she isn’t anyone new she isn’t anyone she’s you she’s you, you, you she’s you, you, you and my most favorite girl to see is her with me as long as she’s open to the rhythm that is driven by her hips and she’s closing both those eyes, cuz she never lies with her fingertips opens both her arms cuz she knows I’ll be ready and she’s right, yeah every night I’m a teenager going stead, cuz this isn’t something I take for granted this is a love that is true she isn’t just anyone she’s you, you, you she’s you, you, you and my most favorite girl to see is her with me as long as she’s you, you, you (she’s a red hot mammajamma man I wanna be her lovah) she’s you, you, you (gotta get her lovin, got it bad for my mammajamma) and my most favorite girl to see is her with me as long as she is you

Evaporate 03:52
duckin through the city with our heads down people say your name but we dont even turn round try to be alone in the crowd but alone's not allowed smothered by the judges on the sidewalks make a single move and everybody's eyes talk guess the only way to be here is if we disappear so why dont we evaporate? why dont we evaporate wouldn't it be great to be gone? no one would be able to be jealous cuz we'll be too invisible for them to tell us we'll be gettin lost for a while in a different style why dont we evaporate? why dont we evaporate? wouldn't it be great to be gone? gone high above the crowds floatin through the clouds where nobody can find us we are in the air nowhere near a stare and the stars are there to remind us that we're gone sure, the awful truth is still that we are stuck here but there might just be a backwards stroke of luck here if layin low is what we gotta do i might as well lay low with you why dont we evaporate wouldn't that be great? why dont we evaporate wouldn't that be great?

Balancing 03:11
all of the roads all of the options all of the things to say where you could go where you are goin aren’t the same way we are balancing, baby, balancing always too much, never enough balancing staying the night leave in the morning dont wanna let her in it isn't right but that's not important dont wanna let her win we are balancing baby, balancing the black and the white, the wrong and the right, balancing ohh no we're gripping and flipping and slipping away oh no not today we are balancing baby, balancing you're at the helm and its overwhelming balancing all of the roads all of the options all of the things to say

Trouble 03:16
hello there pretty lady, do you know my name? do you realize how far you are inside my brain? we're in this situation so let's stay in it we made this bed, so why dont we just play in it what am I to do? go home, or go with you? we could cause some trouble we could cause some trouble i could use some trouble i could use some you i know this kind of loving isnt logical but the sun is washing over and it's magical and the moment that it rises we will have to go so the rest of what we do today we may never know so unplug your busy mind just unbutton and unwind as we cause some trouble can we cause some trouble? no i dont want trouble but i do want you to know that it should be you and me, indefinitely one day we may behave badly out of fear but just for tonight, let's stay right here where it's clear that we're in all kinds of trouble since the only the trouble will be all the trouble that we'll get into since the only trouble that i need is you no i dont want trouble...

DEEP THANKS to the original hustle for their original hustle. to paul, nate, edwin, parris and mark for constructing a magnetic and abiding vibe out of thin air (and to edwin’s kids for the spongebob sketches). to jo lampert and daniel watts, for two transcendent weekends of midwestern hangtime and in-booth majesty. to tricia small, for your infinite inspiration and support. to ava delaney, for the smokey vokes and tiny-hand jokes. to suzi dietz, for always being up for pushing me forward. to brian mazzaferri, for your big brian brain, and for letting me borrow every single one of your family and friends. to magoo leopold, for your real talk and real bad singing. to adela mazzapold, for looking like a sci-fi morph of your parents. to zia hassan, for endless imessage return volleys. to bill prokopow, for your ears, your interior design and your last name. to chris leon, for the millions of mornings, for always leading with “yeah i like that,” and for taking this thing to the next level. to packy lundholm, for being the even keel captain of chicago, for your taste, your instincts, and for adapting to every single crazy thing i threw at you, dude. suh. leo thomas mcgarry, for all the lonely hours waiting for me to get home from recording. IOU buddy. to my love, my lady, my wife, my life, ana nogi: this thing is about and for you. and finally, to everyone listening: thanks for adding these songs to the soundtrack of your lives. be good to each other. it's a team sport.
