Title: After The Fact

Additional Challenge: CAR/MALL/PARTY

Lyrics:

Its a tough day for the home team
moving furniture is easy, its the personal stuff that worries me
cause cleaning out your parents house is not how I imagined
while it looks like packing boxes up and sweepin out the cabinets
its another introduction to who you thought you knew
a one-way heart to heart that's hard enough to make it through

without the pictures up in frames on the walls of your office
a collection hand-selected to be handsome and flawless
I never saw the box of polaroids you'd forgotten
packed away inside a cabinet in the back of your garage

there's your first car with the hood popped
here's you at a party with my uncle in a headlock
some candids of you camping, this one had to be from prom
its strange to see your arm around someone who isn't mom
I never knew that you knew Marty since you were in second grade
In my head you met at work but now I don't know where that came from
A bunch of big assumptions never challenged while I could
A side I never saw because I thought I understood

None of it was fiction but I learned after the fact
I'm mad you never told me but I'm madder I didn't ask

and all the pictures up in frames on the walls of your office
a collection hand-selected to be handsome and flawless
I never saw the box of polaroids you'd forgotten
packed away inside a cabinet in the back of your garage

And Now I know you better than I ever have
And it's nice to meet you after the fact

And Now I know you better than I ever have
And it's nice to meet you after the fact

Title: Pull You Below

Additional Challenge: PRANK!

Lyrics:

You turned all the clocks back by 15 minutes a day
Til I felt like I was drowning just by being awake
You switched out all the lightbulbs
Til I couldn't even see my hands
There was a photograph beside my bed
Of you and me but I don't recognise it
Whispers and laughing out in the hallway
There was a time I think
But I'm not sure
You called me by another name
Where did I go
Pull me below
Under the water

I might be lost
For now, but I'm clawing
My way from hell to your door
You can't even look me
Dead in the eyes
So you won't see the lights coming on

So turn all of the clocks back by 15 minutes a day
I'm quietly counting the seconds away
Switch out all of the lightbulbs
Fill the house with shadow
There was a photograph beside my bed
Of you and me and I'm coming to get it
Something is moving out in the hallway
There was a time our love
Was strong enough
To raise me from the dead
Where will you go
When I pull you below
Under the water
