WORRIED BIRD
V1
I can imagine her too clearly/ the girl you held so dearly/ never thought I was that kind/
nothing to hide behind/ I reach reach reach/ you’re far far far away/ like an apple on a
branch/ and I shake shake shake
C
And I can’t tell you/ my heart flies just like a worried bird/ and you can’t find me/ and
that feeling only makes it worse/ and I can’t tell you/ my heart flies just like a worried
bird/ and if this falls through/ I might not find my way again
Stop, stop, stop looking away (repeat)
V2
I’m so afraid you’ll leave me/ that I’m convinced you will/ just once you’ve had your fill/
and it’s complicated/ knowing things will fail/ I can’t learn to be alone/ or on my own
C
And I can’t tell you/ my heart flies just like a worried bird/ and you can’t find me/ and
that feeling only makes it worse/ and I can’t tell you/ my heart flies just like a worried
bird/ and if this falls through/ I might not find my way again
Stop, stop, stop looking away (repeat)

TOO YOUNG
V1
All of the moments side by side/ and all the waiting/ I made a promise to be kind/ but
I betrayed it/ I tried to keep it to myself/ wanted to save it/ you always know when
something’s wrong/ and so I slipped away
C
Maybe it’s my selfishness/ or maybe I’m too young/ I always hold a little bit/ back with
all I’ve done/ so things fade away/ things fade away from me
V2
I always take what I can get/ and keep what’s staying/ instead of thinking of regrets/ and
your heart breaking/ I want to tell you what I’ve done/ but I’m afraid/ I’ve always been a
loaded gun/ and you got in the way
C
Maybe it’s my selfishness/ or maybe I’m too young/ I always hold a little bit/ back with
all I’ve done/ so things fade away/ things fade away from me

WAX
V1
Glass and shell and coral and wax/ I keep too much of the past/ I just want to make it last/
somehow I keep going faster/ and all the little things/ I keep forgetting/ I thought I knew
myself/ but it turns out I don’t know
C
And so I take it slow/ and so I make time go backwards/ now it’s so much better though/
just have to tell myself no
(Repeat)
V2
Paper cuts that keep getting deeper/ I’ve become an afternoon sleeper/ make my life
inside the dream/ makes it seem so easy to keep it/ but if I’m holding on/ I’ll stay this
way too long/ I thought I knew myself/ but it turns out I don’t know
C
And so I take it slow/ and so I make time go backwards/ now it’s so much better though/
just have to tell myself no
(Repeat)
Bridge
After all I run around/ just trying to come back down and meet you
(Repeat)
After all I run around/ just trying to come back down and meet you, sore
(Repeat)
C
And so I take it slow/ and so I make time go backwards/ now it’s so much better though/
just have to tell myself no
(Repeat)

DAYS IN OTHER DAYS
V1
I woke to sirens like loons/ bodies stuck to mine like glue/ he said he might visit soon/
but tells me/ he’s too afraid to leave home
C
And I know I’m wasting time away/ living all my days in other days/ I know I’m wasting
time away/ living all my days in other days
(Repeat)
V2
I sit/ separate my dreams/ ship hulls/ liquid dark drifting/ they said we’re glad you
haven’t changed/ in wreckage/ everything’s the same
C
And I know I’m wasting time away/ living all my days in other days/ I know I’m wasting
time away/ living all my days in other days
(Repeat)

Cut It Up

CUT IT UP
V1
I never hold out, or let doubt/ stop me from feeling this way/ but maybe this time I should
try/ cause I don’t know how long you will stay/ you swore you’d be true, me and you/ but
sometimes the heart can’t lie/ and I stayed awake for a night/ fearing what I would find
C
Cut it up, it’s all the same/ cut it up or break it/ I’m just another heart for you to play with
(Repeat)
V2
Sometimes I can’t find where my mind is/ and I wander around for a while/ you made
me believe that you wouldn’t leave/ that your love was a thing that was mine/ but I
understand that I can’t/ tell you which way you should feel/ you don’t have to decide,
take your time/ just know that it’s something that’s real
C
Cut it up, it’s all the same/ cut it up or break it/ I’m just another heart for you to play with
(Repeat)

LOSING TOUCH
V1
Do you really think her childish ways will keep you fine/ do you really think her poetry
compares to mine/ I’m not in love with you but you and I know I wasn’t cruel/ I always
tried to stand by/ even though you’re left behind
C
I’ve never known the heartache you have/ and maybe I’m asking too much/ but when I
think back on what we had/ I can’t imagine losing touch
V2
I remember when you said I was your only friend/ we were so young then, I can’t believe
how long it’s been/ I know how you’re losing/ I know you want to remove me/ so I’ll just
watch you slowly forget
C
I’ve never known the heartache you have/ and maybe I’m asking too much/ but when I
think back on what we had/ I can’t imagine losing touch

LOCKED AND LOADED
V1
Maybe I’m not in love/ maybe I’m just lonely/ If only I could know for sure/ when it’s
late at night/ and it’s you my body’s holding/ it’s then I think that I could understand
C
Don’t want to fight/ don’t want to fight it/ you keep me on my toes/ and it won’t do/ do to
deny it/ you keep me locked and loaded
(Repeat)
V2
Covered up my flaws/ and I tried to make it simple/ but all it did was make me lose my
mind/ opened up your world/ and you let me see your secrets/ and now I’m left digging
for more to find
C
Don’t want to fight/ don’t want to fight it/ you keep me on my toes/ and it won’t do/ do to
deny it/ you keep me locked and loaded
(Repeat)
V3
Loneliness creeps up/ and I get so damn distracted/ and act like I’m the only one who
cares/ I’ve got so much more/ and I swear I’ll show it to you/ just wait until my feet are
on the floor
C
Don’t want to fight/ don’t want to fight it/ you keep me on my toes/ and it won’t do/ do to
deny it/ you keep me locked and loaded
(Repeat)

Sugar

SUGAR
V1
Sugar when we’re waking up/ it’s like I’m looking at a four-leaf clover/ kind of funny
how we found each other/ from the distance we were running over/ I know, I know that
we’re still new/ but don’t think that I’ll get used to you
C
Breaking, feel the blood in my skin/ what I remember in the dark/ and now these secrets/
are something to hold on to/ no I won’t let this fall apart
V2
Somewhere on a pull-out couch in Chesaning/ you said you loved me/ had to keep my
heart from falling out/ and lying there on the sheets beside me/ and though the months are
racing by/ they don’t have a hold on you and I
C
Breaking, feel the blood in my skin/ what I remember in the dark/ and now these secrets/
are something to hold on to/ no I won’t let this fall apart

THE ONLY GOOD THING
V1
In the dark I try to find you/ but all alone it’s hard to see/ keep and looking, words behind
you/ but don’t turn back, it’s only me
C
I tell myself to stop/ and I tell myself stop worrying/ or you’ll lose the only good thing
that you’ve got/ and you keep standing up/ sit back down, stop hurrying/ but maybe you
still want love on the rocks
V2
When the distances get further/ when an hour is a day/ I dig the holes a little deeper/ I
stop knowing what to say
C
I tell myself to stop/ and I tell myself stop worrying/ or you’ll lose the only good thing
that you’ve got/ and you keep standing up/ sit back down, stop hurrying/ but maybe you
still want love on the rocks
V3
I can’t hide out from this much longer/ because some fears never go away

WONDER
V1
Colors fading, disengaging, all I wanted was to hold/ I see you changing, rearranging, the
winter out an open door/ and when you welcome me back/ I plan on staying the same/
forget the power that I hold
C
I had a dream that I lost you but you were awake and I had to take your place/ what this
selfishness cost you/ down in the basement, searching for something like me/ and now I
wonder what it really means for you to be alone/ yes I wonder what it really means for
you to be alone
V2
The weekend’s waiting, you try to save me, think that I’ve fallen from the light/ pretend
you’re thinking, care that I’m sinking, until I’ve gone out of your sight/ and I’ve lost
something again/ the water stays in the lake/ and you’re left drowning on the shore
C
I had a dream that I lost you but you were awake and I had to take your place/ what this
selfishness cost you/ down in the basement, searching for something like me/ and now I
wonder what it really means for you to be alone/ yes I wonder what it really means for
you to be alone

Nightlife Ann Arbor, Michigan
Darin Rajabian and Caroline Myrick met at a Michigan house show in early 2010. They soon discovered a mutual infatuation with dream-life, dancing, and pop music, and began work on a new project to incorporate Caroline’s soft vocals with Darin’s classic euro-disco inspired tracks. The music evolved, and after months of work, they formed the sound of Nightlife. ... more
