High Achievers, Part 1
High achievers, make believers, when am I good enough?
Where are my dreams?
We play the same scenes, when am I good enough?
High achievers, make believers, when am I good enough?

Sweet Fear
Night hits hard like an old dirty friend
You get the wine and the beer and the song in your head
And you can't explain exactly what this feeling is
Dawn breaks, you can feel in your eyes
In your heart, in your head, in your fears, in your thighs
And the chemicals don't quite make you feel right
Sweet fear, my dear, you come on like a bullet
You get up and you put it aside
There's a ring in your ears and a sting in your eyes
And you're walking away from this divine design
And all things get too mellow
And all the part time days
And you can't help think that you've just done the same
In the light and the night and the traces
Flash of armour in each passing face
All these thoughts that you thought that you hated
You think this is it, this is it, the end
And the enemy sites
You think of long bristling times
Waking up pent up and tired
As the hairs stand end to end
Sweet fear, my dear, you come on like a bullet

Souvenirs
I've got a plan to collect all these abandoned souvenirs
Just give me some time to collect my glowing thoughts
We're waiting here, we're waiting for someone to come and claim us
Can you keep me in mind when you're in town for the 4th
Souvenirs of all our boring stories
This bragging is distracting
I want to ride this positive vibe
Don't you get so sick of serious all the time
Spending time in corners locked in step with what's her name
I'm surprised you even notice what I want
Souvenirs of parties and all our treacherous past glories
Souvenirs of all these boring stories
Turn up the radio
Turn on this mad parade
We're waiting here, we're waiting for someone to call our names
We're looking for the passion in the line up to get paid
Souvenirs of all these boring glories
I think I invented a new thought
I think I invented a new feeling

Gulls
We'll take any excuse to hold on to
And any vague enough reason to stay
I don't think too much when you say it rough
Beachside boys and pink bedroom girls are making time
You're all I wanted
Sisters, brothers, fucked up lovers
Mothers, fathers, mixed up sons and daughters
Sinners, saints, those that can't relate
Villains, heroes mixed up zero
Wives, husbands, pretending by the dozen
Friends, haters, pretenders, and traitors
We're all gonna make our very own stars
We're all gonna make it (Repeat)

High Achievers, Part 2
There's fights to match the pretty lights and souls here to be saved
But I'll save that fight for another day
I've got matches for my cigarettes and hearts hanging on the line
And the glasses that we tip to pass the time
The bigger you go, the deeper the debt, a future to owe and I'm a mess
But I saw it once and it was amazing
There's a chorus in the bedroom and bird perched on the line and I think that we can get there if we try
Oh you high achievers, you make me want to cry
Give it up, give it one last try
I'll take the good parts and you can keep the rest
Give it up, give it up, it's for the best
Oh, you high achievers

High Achievers, Part 3
I'm gonna make you something great, just wait for it
Take the whole blue sky, it's made for us
Wrap it up and make it ours and bake it in a pie
We're high in the ocean, we're high in the trees
High in our hang-ups and hopped up on our dreams
When I'm good enough, I'll shake this madness free
I don't dream because it's easier
I don't feel because it's safe
I just float in the ocean, up and down with the waves
Going up and down with the waves
We're high in the ocean, we're high in the trees
High in our hang-ups and hopped up on our dreams
I don't care that I want you so much more than you want me
When I'm good enough, I'll shake this madness free
Ooo, get high, achievers
