FINNEAS - For Cryin' Out Loud! Lyrics






Starfucker

Picking all the petals off
Every flower that you come across
Your eyes are closed, your voice is soft
Honey, I'm afraid I'm lost
Sweep the glass up off the floor
Sell the clothes you never wore
You told me that you wanted more
Are you sure?

You starf*cker, I loved you
Against my better judgement
In the evening, when you're leaving
Your promises have lost their meaning
I was yours before you were cool

Cross the names off a list
Cartier around your wrist
I was such an optimist
You were just a narcissist
Driver's pulling back around
You tell me I'm so tightly wound
You think that you're underground
But you're so much less profound

You starf*cker, I loved you
Against my better judgement
In the morning, without warning
You tell me life is boring
I was yours before you were cool

You starf*cker, I trusted you
Against my better judgement
Watched the sunrise, tears in your eyes
If you'd just apologize, I'd still be yours for sure
But you're cruel

What's It Gonna Take To Break Your Heart?

What's it gonna take to break your heart?
(What's it gonna take to break your heart?)
Do you think I'd even leave a mark?
(Do you think I'd even leave a mark?)
And who you gonna call when it gets dark?
(Who you gonna call when it gets dark?)
What's it gonna take to break your heart?
(What's it gonna take to break your heart?)
If you only knew the way I pray for you
There's nothing I can do
If you only knew I don't mind making room
I just want more of you
What's it gonna take to break your heart?
(What's it gonna take to break your heart?)
Mm, do you think I'll even leave a mark?
(Do you think I'll even leave a mark?) Ooh-oh

Bury all the powerlines
Cut out all the middlemen
We could play it, rain or shine
If it ever rains again
Tell me when you see the signs
So I know it's happening
Lovers goin' back in time
Lovers goin' back to friends

And I don't think about it 'til it's too late
When you're not around, I don't appreciate it
I don't think about it 'til it's too late
Mm-mm

What's it gonna take to break your heart?
(What's it gonna take to break your heart?)
Mm, do you think I'll even leave a mark?
(Do you think I'll even leave a mark?)
Oh, honey, if you only knew the way I pray for you
There's nothing I can do
If you only knew I don't mind making room
I just want more of you
What's it gonna take to break your heart?
(What's it gonna take to break your heart?)
Who you gonna call when it gets dark?
(Who you gonna call when it gets dark?)

Like you can't afford it
Like it's all imported
Like it's hard to score it
(If you only knew)
I been waitin' for it
Like it's Sunday mornin'
Like your coffee pourin'
I want more of you
Like you can't afford it
Like it's all imported (ooh)
Like it's hard to score it
If you only knew
I been waitin' for it
Like it's Sunday mornin' (ooh)
Like your coffee pourin'
I want more of you

What's it gonna take to break your heart?

Cleats

It's a little touch and go
You could be the crutch that she holds
Got herself a sprained ankle
If you know, you know

Bad things always come in threes
When you broke your thumb, you lost your keys
She plays for a different team
Scrapping her knees
But it's all the same to you
When she's standing in your room
On an endless afternoon
And the summer's over soon

Maybe she's a late bloomer
Or maybe it's a fake rumor
But you've got the same sense of humor
As her

She's always at the wheel
You're often on her street
You don't know how to feel
You don't know how to sleep
Like it'll never heal
Your heart's still in the weeds
Straight off the soccer field
She's still wearing her cleats

But it's all the same to you
When she's standing in your room
On an endless afternoon
And the summer's over soon

If it's all a waste of time (all a waste of time)
If it's all been silver lined (all been silver lined)
If it's all a warning sign (all a warning sign)
If she's always on your mind (always on your-)

Nothing you can do either
Old crush on the new teacher
Wave as soon as you see her
From the bleachers

Little Window

Just a little window
Glowing in the dark
To give you all the info
To keep you where you are
Honey, what's on your mind?
"Everything, all the time"

Coming here forever
Laughing to yourself
Birds with bloody feathers
And no way you can help
Honey, I'm seeing signs
Everywhere, all the time

Tears in your eyes
Brush them aside
And have a nice day
Not a cloud in the sky
And you're still alive
But you don't look that way

Just a little window
Shining on your face
Used to watch the sun arise
And you've lost track of days (ah)
Honey, what's on your mind? (Ah-ah)
"Everything, all the time" (ah, ooh)

Tears in your eyes
Brush them aside
And have a nice day (ah)
Not a cloud in the sky
And you're still alive
But you don't look that way

Oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

Buy yourself a halo
Illuminate your room
Just a little window
Looking back at you

2001

Stuck waiting for you on the dark side of the moon
With an unbeatable view at a table for two

Texas calls to take me home
Spent too much time alone

Honey, what you runnin' from?
When you comin' back to bed?
Toss and turnin' all night long with me instead
Honey, what you runnin' from?
Where the hell you headed to?
Do you like the way I run after you?

2001
Life or death, you did it for fun
But you flew too close to the sun
And look what you've done

Texas calls, you're out of range
They say they're pickin' up somethin' strange

Honey, what you runnin' from?
When you comin' back to bed?
Toss and turnin' all night long with me instead
Honey, what you runnin' from?
Where the hell you headed to?
Do you like the way I run after you?

It doesn't have to-
It doesn't have to be
Such an odyssey

Honey, what you runnin' from?
When you comin' back to bed?
Toss and turnin' all night long with me instead
Honey, what you runnin' from?
Where the hell you headed to?
Do you like the way I run after you?

It doesn't have to-
It doesn't have to be
Such an odyssey
It doesn't have to-
It doesn't have to be
Such an odyssey

Same Old Story

Same old story you've heard a hundred times
You know the punchlines
An allegory for what you couldn't find
To help you unwind

A little lifted, little too high
Maybe love is a way to kill time

Same old story you told me yesterday
It ends the same way
Purgatory and nothing new to say
"Are you still okay?"

A little lonely, a little wasted
You think you know me and I wish you did

Same old story about a haunted house
We had to burn down (we had to burn down)
Did I get boring? Or did I wear you out?
It's a nice couch

The roof starts leakin', mouth gets too dry
I know you're leavin', and I don't care why

Just be careful what you wish for
It's controversial that I am still yours
Just be careful what you wish for
It's controversial that I am still yours

Sweet Cherries

Couldn't take my eyes off you (you're something else)
She's watching too (can't help herself)
Sweet cherries too (how could you tell?)
I know you too well
Couldn't take my eyes off you (you're something else)
She's watching too (can't help herself)
Sweet cherries too (how could you tell?)
I know you too well

She'll break your heart with her hands tied
She's got a car waiting outside for you
You bought a house on a landslide
With a hell of a view
She likes it hot, likes it greasy
She says she's not, but she's easy for you
You're on the rot, she's on TV
With a key to your room

But someone's gotta break her fall
And if you're gonna take her call
You know you're gonna say it's her fault
You knew it all then and you'd do it all again

Couldn't take my eyes off you (you're something else)
She's watching too (can't help herself)
Sweet cherries too (how could you tell?)
I know you too well
Couldn't take my eyes off you (you're something else)
She's watching too (can't help herself)
Sweet cherries too (how could you tell?)
I know you too well

(I think we're (?) Miles)
(I think it's just really loud)
(Super loud)

What went wrong?
We don't talk about
You'd take too long, it's all water now
Call me what you want, when I'm not around
Every bridge you cross, you just burn it down

Here we are, again, we get too close
Take it too far and then we go right back to the start
Just friends
Is that what you think we are?
Like a wrecking ball, inside an apartment
Watching plaster fall all over your carpet
She's an actor, all an actor wants is the part

What went wrong?
We don't talk about
You'd take too long, it's all water now
Call me what you want, when I'm not around
Every bridge you cross you just burn it down

(I love that-)

For Cryin' Out Loud!

Maybe it's me, or maybe it's you
Maybe I never learned my lesson
Someone to seek, someone to soothe
Someone to answer all your questions

I don't know what to tell ya
Maybe I never knew
Not tryna make you jealous
But it looks so good on you
Been stuck on elevators
In airports and empty rooms
Been stuck here, waiting for you

For cryin' out loud
I'm calling your name
You're wearing me out
But I love you the same
For cryin' out loud
Your heart is a maze
You're running your mouth
But I'm singing your praises

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

All of your clothes all over the floor
All of it happened in a hurry
Show me the ropes, then you show me the door
Why don't you show me why you're so worried?

You're sweating off your makeup
You're running every light
What's gonna help you wake up
Won't help you sleep at night
Sometimes I see the future
Sometimes I'm not so bright
Sometimes you're looking for a fight

For cryin' out loud (loud)
I'm calling your name (name)
You're wearing me out (out)
But I love you the same
For cryin' out loud (loud)
Your heart is a maze (maze)
You're running your mouth (mouth)
But I'm singing your praises

Ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

For cryin' out loud (loud)
I'm calling your name (calling your name)
You're wearing me out (you're wearing me out)
But I love you the same (I love you the same)
For cryin' out loud (loud)
Your heart is a maze (your heart is a maze)
You're running your mouth (mouth)
But I'm singing your praises

(Ooh-ooh-ooh) watch what you say when you're talking to me
The meaner you are, the harder to leave
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) walking away with your kiss on my cheek
And a bruise underneath
For cryin' out loud

Family Feud

Mom and dad are out of town
The two of us are grown-ups now
Pepper had to be put down

Hard to take, hard to own
Not hard to break a collarbone
A little late, but not alone

And you're only twenty-two
And the world is watching you
Judging everything you do
Just a house and just a room
Just a handful of balloons
Just another afternoon

Just the way it almost was
When it's just the two of us
Sleep all day, I'll wake you up
When it's just the two of us

Quiet dream, chaperone
Got homesick, got sent home
Mom and dad on the phone

And you're only twenty-two
And there's nothin' I can do
I've made mistakes, you'll make 'em, too
A part of me is part of you
Just a different shade of blue
Just a little family feud

Just the way it almost was
When it's just the two of us
Sleep all day, I'll wake you up
When it's just the two of us, mm

And you're only twenty-two
And there's nothin' I can do
Part of me is part of you
Just a different shade of blue

Lotus Eater

Say it like you mean it
Couldn't keep a secret
And maybe you could leave it out, o-o-out
Backseat and my teeth hurt
Blowing out the speaker
I'm the lotus eater now

And did you figure me out?
Who's the mystery now?

Grab my wrist 'til your knuckles are white
It's a brand-new kiss in the same old light
In a Friday bliss on a Sunday night
I wanna feel like this 'til I feel alright, I wanna

(Feel like this 'til I feel alright) say it like you mean it
(I wanna feel like this 'til I feel alright) couldn't keep a secret
(I wanna feel like this 'til I feel alright) kinda think we're even now

Did you figure me out?
Who's the mystery now?
I think I figured you out
Not such a mystery now

Grab my wrist 'til your knuckles are white
It's a brand-new kiss in the same old light
In a Friday bliss on a Sunday night
I wanna feel like this 'til I

Did you figure it out? (I wanna feel like this 'til I feel alright)
Who's the mystery now? (I wanna feel like this 'til I feel alright)

As she slips out the door
Hard to feel sorry for
Such a cool girl
(But it's a cruel world)
Take a drag
Take a walk
Plastic bags
Classic rock
Such a cool girl
(But it's a cruel world)

Did you figure me out? (Ooh)
Who's the mystery now? (Ooh)
I think I figured you out (ooh)
Not such a mystery now (ooh)

Back to: FINNEAS


For Cryin' Out Loud! is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Finneas. The album was released on October 4, 2024, through OYOY and Interscope. It is the follow-up record to his debut studio album Optimist.

During a May 2024 Rolling Stone cover story for Finneas's sister, Billie Eilish, Finneas revealed he was working on a new solo album. He described feeling lonely whilst solo-producing his first album, believing that he did an "OK job", but not making songs in the best possible way they could sound. Therefore, Finneas said, "I've made a point to be hyper-collaborative. Fortunately, most of my friends are producers".

On August 8, 2024, Finneas announced For Cryin' Out Loud! on Instagram and released the title track as its lead single, along with a music video directed by Isaac Ravishankara.

A same-day press release characterized Finneas' creative process for the album as "steering things away from the bedroom producer mentality and to a classic studio/band environment".

The album was produced during a series of live studio sessions in Los Angeles, California.
