Re-Arrange Us

Mates of State Re-Arrange Us Lyrics
1.Get Better

Forget your politics for a while
Let the color schemes arrive

Forget your politics for a while
Let the color schemes arrive

Come on board, it's a curious site
Absorbing sound that's never been right
Never ahead of, never behind it
Occasionally guarded, just keeps us surrounded
It's luck

Everything's gonna get lighter,
even if it never gets better

I propose a less serious boat
Don't mistake for a party of jokes
You are never ahead of, never behind us
Floating in circles, there's more to remind them of less

Everything's gonna get lighter,
even if it never gets better

Forget your politics for a while
Let the color schemes arrive

Forget your politics for a while
Let the color schemes arrive

Forget your politics for a while
Let the color schemes arrive

Forget your politics for a while
Let the color schemes arrive

Forget your politics for a while
Let the color schemes arrive

Forget your politics for a while
Let the color schemes arrive


2.Now

I've been waiting for a sign
I've been waiting for a sign
Tell me where
Tell me where I belong

Oh, you've been waiting for the night
Oh, you've been waiting for the night
To take you far
To take you far away from me

Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Who, who, who, who?

Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Who, who, who, who?

I've been waiting for a sign
I've been waiting for a sign
Tell me where
Tell me where I belong

Oh, you've been waiting for the night
Oh, you've been waiting for the night
To take you far
To take you far away from here

Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Who, who, who, who?

Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Who, who, who, who?

And as I'm waiting on your doorstep, now
I notice patterns in the paint
I'm wondering how the glass will hit
When I, as I turn and go in shame

Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now


3.My Only Offer

Bought a home, we bartered right
So we kissed to, and caught a light
Those pictures on the wall
Small talk in a bedroom hall

Can't make it home tonight
Go to sleep and leave the light
I pretend to make a call
Lose talk in a bedroom stall

Oh, oh, oh
Is my only offer
Stifle copies of myself
Oh, oh, oh
Someone else

My friends, they all agree
Give into our defeat
Its sick, when we believe
We're nothing, nothing, nothing
Now we need

No, oh, oh
Is my only offer
Stifle copies of myself
Oh, oh, oh
Someone else

I always wanted to be
The face in front of me
Beating a life
Sipped out the energy

Built up a wall
Made out of finer things
Pile them high
So we could barely see it

No, oh, oh
Is my only offer
Oh, oh, oh
Is my only offer

Oh, oh, oh
Is my only offer
Stifle copies of myself
Oh, oh, oh
It's all I have to offer


4.The Re-arranger

red colonial houses lining on the snow white streets
working out all our problems there in the
back of a house where the ghosts all sleep

i know its impossible,

regret-oh-reg-gret-oh

i know its impossible, but you should
try to shake it off

5.Jigsaw

You write the good songs, baby
I'll write them until the end
And you can stand above us
And we can still be friends

It's like a jigsaw, maybe
You found the corner piece first
We never asked for nothing
You're always bearing gifts
Oh, you could see us through

Your stage is calculated

Your stage is calculated
You're hugging stars backstage
I like the old songs better
This thing was made for you and me
For you and me

You could see us through
You could see us through
You could see us through
You could see us through
You could see us through


6.Blue and Gold Print

So long, lost love
I haven't forgotten you, just yet
I held your picture before I knew
Next view, seems set in golden hues
Your face, still drifting inside my head
The weight it is gone
The words that I could have said
I sang instead
But, other girls only cry
I call it grace
I am a mindless child

But I said, he's treating me right
But I said, he's treating me right

You're gone
What's left?
Memories of greater days just hang
Look on, you say
But together the obvious cruels
Taught you
Skipped the series of laid out rules
Go stand outside
The clouds raining, spark the light
Thats how we met
The greatest day of his life.

I said, he's treating me right
I said, he's treating me right

We're just a little bit lost
Inside our houses
We're just a little unkept
Out in the streets
But, I won't ever pass up a second
To tell you the place, its a myth
Cause I know when the kids are all grown
We'll still have this blue and gold print

He's treating me right
I know he's treating me right

But, I won't ever pass up a second
To tell you the place, its a myth
Cause I know when the kids are all grown
We'll still have this blue and gold print


7.Help Help

Can't you see what's happening on the sidewalk?
Nowhere to go, nowhere to go
It's getting so old

Oh, oh
We're laying down
Oh, oh
So we can listen to the ground

Can't you see the seems cut in the shoreline?
I'm throwing sand into your hand
To speak the whole world

Oh, oh
We're laying down
Oh, oh
So we can listen to the ground

Help, Help
Can you help?
Don't hesitate
That is why they say it
That is why they say it
Help, Help
I will you meet you on the cellar floor
That is why they say it
That is why they say it

Help, Help
Can you help?
Don't hesitate
That is why they say it
That is why they say it

Help, Help
Can you help?
The cellar floor
That is why they say it
That is why they say it

Can't you feel the shifting of the stale air?
He doesn't care
Her vacant stare
Its getting so cold

Oh, oh
We're laying down
Oh, oh
So we can make a louder sound

Now, I wake up, all I see is new
I win the season, I am through
Will winter pull us through?

Help, Help
Can you help?
Don't hesitate
That is why they say it
That is why they say it
Help, Help
I will you meet you on the cellar floor
That is why they say it
That is why they say it

Help, Help
Can you help?
And I meet you on the cellar floor?
That is why they say it
That is why they say it

Help, Help
That is why they say it


8.You Are Free

I had a dream last night
That we lost the fight
I had a reason to stay in the back of my head
Still, I have to say goodbye
Here, in this bed

Free
You are free
Free
You are free

You oughta lay down low
Covered in packs of snow
Lay down low
Covered in packs of snow

Your hands they know
We're nearing the end

Free
You are free
Free
You are free

Stop telling me the right way to go
I'm on my own
You're selling our old ways
Stop telling me the right way to go

I'm on my own
You're selling our old ways
Stop telling me the right way to go
I'm on my own
You're selling our old ways
Stop telling me the right way to go

You are free
You are free
Living things need to be free

Free
You are free
Like everything wants to be


9.Great Dane

In the center of a living room on the street
Where you covered up your tapes and traded me
There's a record, I could set that you left with me
An act of kindness, simply, all but discovery

Discount meals are warm, dear
Then we'll choose our new, get it?
Have you heard me?

T-t-t-tonight
T-t-tonight
T-t-t-tonight
T-t-tonight
Sing in the sunshine
Sing in the sunshine

In the city, where the people never sleep
Busy looking at the pictures of you and me
Never promise, there are words that can rescue me
You can say it, I need a bottle of g

Discount meals are warm, dear
Old age starts a new whole thing
I can hear you

T-t-t-tonight
T-t-tonight
T-t-t-tonight
T-t-tonight
Sing in the sunshine
Sing in the sunshine


10.Lullaby Haze

Why are you making it harder?
Why are you driving it home?
I am not the broken-hearted
I am just a load of bad things

You can pretend you weren't let down
We all know the soft song tonight
You can pretend you weren't let down
We all know the soft song tonight

I am not the broken-hearted
I am just a load of bad things

You can pretend you weren't let down
We all know the soft song tonight
You can pretend you weren't let down
We all know the soft song tonight

I am not the broken-hearted
I am just a load of bad things
