What do I say when I'm late and she knows it, too? I make up a dumb excuse. Is this time for real? Hey, what's the big deal? It was just a birthday, that's all. Been sent to jail without passing go. It's my last card and I forgot to call uno. So I climb and climb and won't stop 'till I reach the top. This ladder doesn't seem to end. Is this time for real? Hey what's the big deal? It was just a board game, that's all. Been sent to jail without passing go. It's my last card and I forgot to call uno.
The last five years seem like they lasted so, so long. Is this hopeless, just fate, I guess, now you're gone. Is there a better way, to say goodbye, than in a song? If you would ask me just on question: Would I do it all again? In a heartbeat. In a perfect world time heals woulds, cut down to the tissue. Is this fortune, or fortuious? I am without you. And time goes by so slowly, I feel like I'm stuck here and I'm all by myself, I'm so lonely, I want to be somewhere else. Not here, not where my heart beats.
I looked outside today. I saw the sun was shining. I knew that everything would be okay. I looked outside today. I saw the sun was shining. I knew that everything would be okay. Feed my fish and brush my teeth. Grease an egg and put on some feet. Run around until I'm out the door as I lay here and smoke my butt in bed. I think about all the things I said. I looked outside today and saw the sun was shining. I knew that everything would be okay. I got a fish named Scooter. I got a ferret, too. I got so many things that I've gotta do. As I lay here and smoke my butt in bed. I think about all the things I said. As I lay here and smoke my butt in bed. I think about all things I said. I looked outside today. I saw the sun was shining. I knew that everything was going to be okay. I looked outside today. I saw the sun was shining. I knew that everything was going to be okay.
This is what I get, I guess I'm not your (best friend). What I thought in the past now when I look back I just look back to laugh Cause I'm walking home with a box of letters. I'm trying real hard, trying real hard. I scream, big stick, I'm drunk, I'm sick telling me that my hearts not in it but you ignore (everything I say) when I ask for help, you only help yourself. So go find someone else cause I'm walking home with a box of letters. I'm trying real hard, trying real hard. I scream, big stick, I'm drunk, I'm sick (every time I called you a muppet I apologize) there's so many thing that I do for you (That you don't realize).
When I saw you standing there
It was crystal clear to me
that it just wouldn't be fair
for you to be stuck with a guy like me
when i saw you yesturday
in my shirt that doesn't fit
it was crystal clear to me
that you were ment to wear it
every time i think
of all the things we did
(hanging out, trying to get drunk)
I just want to know
how i became
the lucky one
When i was just growing up
luck would never cross my path
I would break a mirror under a ladder
in the path of a black cat
i never learned how to be cool
the only "f" i got in school
I can't belive you talked to me
after you watched me play the fool
every time i think
of all the things we did
(haning out, trying to get drunk)
I just want to know
how I became
the lucky one
when will it be forever?
what was i really thinking?
I wasted time wondering why
when we could've wasted that time drinking
it will take more than letter
to patch things up this time
I only hope i'm lucky enough
to win you back again as mine
every time i think
of all the things we did
(haning out, trying to get drunk)
I just want to know
how I became
13 years in school is brining me down. It's not treating me right, and I'm so dropping out. I can't believe you dig this town. I've got to go. It seemed so hopeless a month ago. But now I'm saying "so long". One more week and I'll be gone. Yeah, so goodbye you never listen to me when I told you I needed something more. Wake me out of bed and take me out. I want to drive right, and then I'm leaving home.
Saw you in line for the big, yellow coaster. I wish I was standing next to you. Maybe we could get some cotton candy. Maybe we could get a candy apple, too. Follow you around the park; from light until it's dark. Sorry you got so sick on the Tilt-A-Whirl. Maybe we could kiss on the yellow coaster, and you would follow me to The Journey to the Center of the Earth. This park's so big. We only got one day. Tonight you'll get on that bus, and drive away. Let me buy you some cotton candy. It's too bad that you live in New Jersey. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
Every time I call you I don't feel the same, and every letter you write me I fell like I'm the one to blame (one to blame for what I didn't do). Got a picture in my mind. It's not perfect all the time. I got left, you go right. You throw out the bait, I bite. It's picture perfect. It's all I see. It's picture perfect. Just you and me. (All I have to do is take a look at you, and then I'm not so blue) Two hours later it's the same. Playing one another's games. I give in and so do you because all the things we go through are all the things that I don't want to (never want to go through with you). Got a picture in my mind. It's not perfect all the time. I go left, you go right. You throw out the bait and I bite. It's picture perfect. It's all I see. It's picture perfect. Just you and me. (All I have to do is look at you, and then I'm not so blue). It's picture perfect. It's all I see. It's picture perfect.
The lights go down now. I'm one thousand miles away from you. My only thoughts now are the one thousand smiles I took from you. This room is such a lonely place without the presence of your face. I dread the thought of every minute I spend without you. I can't sleep without you snoring. I can't speak without you ignoring. Every word that I slur with a grin. 'Cause what's a drunked word without a wasted ear to take it in. Late nights and too much smoke is starting to catch up with me. My voice is almost broke. You're the only thing that gets it out of me. It's been six weeks now since I drank the night away with you. Now I'm drinking by myself to try and keep my thoughts away from you. I'd drive all night on three hours sleep to make sure you last another day. The things we do somehow just make my life complete, and I know you'll make my bed someday. I'm like a wino staring at an empty bottle. Looking at pictures of me and you. If I don't get a taste of you tomorrow, God only knows what I will do.
Back in the boy toy days you had the jelly bracelets and the crazy waves in your hair. I was burning up for your love with my parachute pants and sequined gloves. You were standing on the corner on a Friday night. You had your hair slicked back, telling me it's alright to like it. Back in the boy toy days and I feel like such a jerk but I'm lucky to be alive in the classroom with a smirk. Back in 1985. Back in the boy toy days.
Another reckless night begins. A brand new thing called "all my friends" but one of them is sleeping and the other's too far gone. I go down to the movie store, but I've seen them all a million times before. Another weekend that I am nothing but alone. Why should I even try? I'm not sleeping on your couch, I'm just resting my eyes. I used to have too much to do. Now I'm kicking off my shoes. If i can just get drunk enough I'm sure I'll have a ball. I guess we found a place to go, mom and dad would always say no. Now I make my own rules and I have no place at all. Why should I even try? I know I should be happy in my easy chair without you there, but how can you explain why I always think of you. I guess I just have nothing else to do. Why does it always seem to be everyone's got something to do but me? I can't get my mind off things, when the telephone never rings. Just because I may not be Mr. Personality. I just wish I had a nightlife besides you and me. Why should i even try? I know you would be happy in your lazy-boy without your boy-toy. I can't explain how I ended up with you? I guess that your nightlife sucks, too!
blur the days togeather
postcards spread across my legs
books and bottles on the floor
Brown fields in my view, through the dirty window
leaving me in between cities
Bite my nails between notes and this blue pen
new respect for all the simple things
Hours turn into wasted days
Strings cut my fingers everynight
I miss trees in Pennsylvania
twisting bottle caps at night, with friends
I leave my messages long distance
Hating the moment I hang up
Blur the days togeather, todays theme is
Tired, bored, read, write, play, drink, pills, sleep
Waiting for a sign from you, tellingme that you're ok
February 13th one more day away
22 miles from Tallahassee
and my hearts in my stomach again
Coffee and watercolors spill
waking up on holiday
I miss trees in Pennsylvania
twisting bottle caps at night, with friends
I leave my messages long distance
I'm living on a couch, and you didn't think when I moved in that I would eat all of your food. Play all day with my pets. I'll help them make a mess. If you're not careful, I'll turn your house into a zoo. Because I'm a scavenger living on a couch. You go to work all day and I make a mess of your house. My back might hurt sometimes. I'm living on a couch. My brother calls me a geek bird, a lazy bum, a scavenger. he said I never worked a single day in my whole life. Roll out of bed around noon because my belly needs some more food. Sit and think to myself that this is the life. Because I'm a scavenger living on a couch. You go to work all day and I make a mess of your house. My back might hurt sometimes, I'm living on a couch.
I got an A for the day in Mr. Bishops Class
Mrs. Smith can kiss my ass
Miss Quigg is teachin me how to conjugate those verbs
I got so many detentions I dont know what to do
I got to see Mr. Martin After school
I dont wanna have to tell my dad
My parents gunna be so mad
When they find out
I got caught makin fake hall passes
I skipped my social studies classes
I stole Mr. Fenerty's glasses
Mr. Frick
Hes such a dick
Mr. Fenerty
Why do you bother me
Slap your ruler on my desk while i'm trying to take a nap
Mousy Ferraro teaches music
Mr. Williams breath is so sick
I got in trouble for throwing food at lunch
And Mr. Martin he yelled at me
Well he yelled so loud he made my ears bleed
I got detention forever
I wonder if I'll ever get home
When they find out
I got caught makin fake hall passes
I skipped my social studies classes
I stole Mr. Fenerty's glasses
Mr. Fenerty
Why do you bother me?
Slap your ruler on my desk while i'm trying to take a nap

I'm driving myself out of my mind. Cold feet in these old shoes that I can't throw out. I think about it too hard. Some way, somehow, I know I have to figure it out. I always wonder what you're thinking when you look at me that way. I hope it's the same thing I feel, but I won't know till you say the words I've been waiting for. If you leave it to me they won't be said 'cause I can't seem to catch my breath, heart in my throat, I am left staring at my shoes. I'm all tied up in knots I think that I should tell yo. Standing on a block of ice, looking at you is making me sweat. If I don't get this out I'll toss and turn sleepless nights.
Finally worked up the nerve to say a few words to your face. You were always on my mind, now you're on your way to my place. First time we met I lost my breath before you ever said a word. Now in a crowded room you're the only voice I even heard. Love is a battle with no reward. To win is only temporary. Like every time you get the last word (you may have won this time but next time we'll see who gets the last word). Six months in to it now and things aren't quite the same. You know too much about me and we both grow tired of one another's games, but we let it slide and buckle up for a bumpy ride. Even though we grew out of love, you never grew out of being by my side. What went wrong? Is it time for us to just move on? You were my purpose for holding on in this cold, hard life. Now you're my reason for throwing in the towel. Someone had to stop this bloody fight. Someone had to stop this stupid, dirty, ugly, messy, bloody fight.
I remember when you couldn't live without me by your side and I remember all the times I had to save you from your lies you tell without a hint of guilt or even just a trace of shame. Do you really think it's my fault? Why does it always end the same? Don't call me names, don't call me up. Just forget you ever knew my name. Why do you bother me with all your stupid games and subtle lies? I don't really understand you, but it comes as no surprise to know you dig me, but you'll never dig someone who treats you fair. The more I hate you and violate you the more you seem to care...
Up all night, maybe I'm crazy. I leave myself open. Naked but not naked. Everything's related. I'm wondering just what I have to do to get it through your head that I don't want to go to sleep now. I just want to go to bed. (So what if I'm serious but fun. It's a place to rest my head. I'm confused. I'm not drunk) Break me down into pieces. Back together, what do you have? A mess in my head, get it to come out. One of many, one in a million. Sometimes it really sucks. I know what I want but can't have it. In a letter it leaves me stuck. I'm wondering just what I have to do to get it through your head that I just don't wanna go to bed. (So what if I'm silly, serious but fun? It's a place to rest my head. I'm confused. I'm not drunk.) No rest, no time. I wish I had more time to get you off my mind. Break me down into pieces. Back together, what do you have? A mess in my head, get it to come out. No rest, no time. I wish I had more time to get you off my mind.
Follow what's in my heart, tonight can't keep my eyes off yours, stars over boulder, falling over sidewalk cracks we walked home. kissing in the streets stars over boulder falling over sidewalk cracks, kissing in the streets. now that's over i know you don't want to see me scared you wont let me go. airports all seem familiar kissing bye in terminals. i Swear i'll grow up once these nightmares disappear, centennials and keystones frequent flyer miles from here. i can't get this keyboard to work, my fingers are so tired to push the pen tonight. hardwood floors are my bed with one arm over my head, dreams of you again tonight. how long till i see you? i'll be waiting at the gate sending letters over mountains, traveling map sand interstates. and if you look at the sky tonight i'll be your star over boulder in the sky tonight i'll be your star.
I look out, I see it all beginning. I know that it's not all my fault. So bored, so tired. So filled with frustration. I've got no dreams, I've got no desires. Laughed at alone. No place to call my home. I wanna be gone, so far away. I don't know why. We were two and now we're through, and everything that you do makes me mad. So bored, so tired. So filled with aggression. I've got no dreams, I've got no desires. Laughed at alone. No place to call my home. I wanna be gone, so far away, and i just want it to be this time, sometime. Wouldn't it be so nice to have time? So bored, so tired. So filled with frustration, and now I know the mess that I'm in. I've got no dreams, I've got no desires. I've got no dreams, I've got no desires. laughed at alone. No place to call my home. I wanna be gone, so far away.
Burritos every day. Instead of running to the border, I'm running to the toilet. The weather's got me pissed and I'm always bitching about something. Can anything ever go right? My bed is a million miles away (miles from where I want it to be), and it's lonely. But, not as lonely as me. They call him a maniac, that's his name. I understand that he's just human. I play every night. Sometimes I play with myself. It's cool. It's fun, yeah baby, alright! My bed is a million miles away (miles from where I want it to be), and it's lonely. But it's not as lonely as me. Tour diary.
My life has no direction. Always spinning round and round, and no matter how hard I try I can't seem to get my ass up off the ground. I have no money, but that's OK, I have nothing to spend it on anyway. People seem to like me better when I'm not around. Let me tell you the story of the boy who lost his mind. Trying to find a place in life in a life where a good place is hard to find. I want to go back in time to find out when I crossed that line. 'Cause I used to care about what I do, and now I'm wasting all my time. My future was so bright, but now it's getting hard to see. I really don't know just how to get out from under this cloud that follows me. When will I ever get ahead? I hope it's before I am dead. I'm having the time of my life, but the best times are never free. I know I sometimes act like a space cadet. I'm surprised you haven't kicked my ass out yet. I know one day TV will be my doom. I'm an astronaut who never leaves his room. I don't have any time to deal with you. I have way too many pointless things to do. Let me tell you the story of the boy who lost his mind. Trying to find a place in life in a life where a good place is hard to find. I want to go back in time to find out when I crossed that line. 'Cause I used to care about what I do, and now I'm wasting all my time. At least I'm having a good time.
I'm lost at sea, and every wave looks the same I wake up in the morning, I can't remember my name Cause baby I sank all my ships for you The Ninja , the Pinto, the Dan Marino They're all ship wrecked, I guess that's just what I go through and I can't find the island that's you I guess you could blame me, If you cared anymore I'm in this beat up lifeboat I can't through the waves to the shore.
Long Distance Company loves me You know how that one goes Smile for a camera in a photo booth You know my favorite is black and white We're in this together and I thought forever Was I wrong? We're you right? Rely on machines that keep us safe and in touch (We rely on) Postmaster general loves me You know how that one goes Labels torn from bottles and pasted in this book You know my favorite is merlot Under circumstances What should I expect? Auction off my heart When there's only one piece left I'm blowing fire from my lips And I'm longing for your voice Will mail it out to me In security envelopes.
Dishearted on this piece of paper
covered black and blue in ink
twirl my fingers through my hair
bite my nails to the quick
think so hard it makes me sick
breaking out, breaking down
envelopes and photos i could send her
licked, stamped, and sharing what i think
i pretend i don't care
I dont want to deal with it
think so hard i want to quit
Agitated and restless, i'm shy and upset
high strung and timid
The cold hangs on this winter's long, it makes me want to go home. A postcard hangs on this rented wall, it reminds me of you. Slow it down, take a good look back and see where you're at. The simple fact everyon's telling me where I should be, I don't want that. I'm free again. A letter sent and read at midnight makes me want to go home. A candle burns up its last light, it reminds me of you. I'm free again. I can feel my world slipping away. Now I'll try to put it back together. How can I stop this feeling in my belly? When it's gone I'll be so much stronger, and I've found out she's all I need... (my world's slipping away).
Every time you come over I want the night to be over. Two people just can't fit in my bed. So, I'm figuring out a way to get rid of you. Does it have to be a hard thing to do? You gotta get me out of your head. Oooo girl, you got it bad for me. You are gonna get the boot unless I'm in the right mood. I gotta get you away from me. How can you be so annoying? I don't wanna go out in public because I'm afraid we'll be seen.
We had so much fun just always in the backyard. You know just what to say, and when I see that expression if you would say be mine I would be yours, too. But, I guess we're too weak, and now what can I do? It gets so dark at night. Darker than I remember. Hope everything will be alright. What will I do this September without you here? I'd love to hear from you. Now your voice sounds like a razor. Should've had a clean shave, but maybe things will turn out better.When I see you there it's just another lesson. I remember the fun times we had, but this future just keeps me guessing. It gets so cold at night. Colder than I remember. I want to hold you tight. What will I do this December without you here? Peel back the bottle caps and smoke another cigarette. I can't stop my mind from thinking. I know I really want you back, but I'm not ready yet and I can't get over it while I'm drinking. DRINKING.
Ten Twenty Five
Everything comes together
Yeah, I know
I know you feel better
You ask yourself
And you need no one
What's she ever left with you and I don't care
And I don't care
If you don't care
Feast your head on etiquette
Close your eyes
And walk away
Bring us his decree
Shoulda closed his eyes on his image
And even if I could change
What good could I give?
Is there a reason for this?
Would we ever know?
I’m so glad it’s over

It seems like you want me to be someone. I think I'm just another nobody. You can dress me up and send me on my way, but you'll never get the kid out of me. I know that I'm not half the man that you thought I should be, but one day I hope you'll see. There's no way that one hundred of your books could be equal to one hundred things I've seen. A new stage in a new world every night, and one thousand midnight highway dreams. I know I'm not half the man that you thought I should be, but I've traveled even further than their narrowed minds can see. I know I'm not half the man that you thought I should be (first time) There's more to my life you'll see. (second time) Can't you realize that I'm just me, the real me? That's all I want to be.
I can feel it getting closer, and the timing isn't right. It's time to go our own ways. Time to say goodbye. Scared when we are lonely, and alone when we grow. I can't justify these actions, so I'll let you go. Out of step, out of line. Who cares who was right? Push it to the limit. When the goal is out of sight. This scar's a reminder. A wrong chord, a wrong note. There's ways I can fix it, but not this time so... I'll see you later. Now's not the right time. (The right time at all) We've run out of time, this scar's a reminder. We've run out of time, who cares who was right? Out of time, out of mind, out of sight. Time to go our own ways, because we've run out of time.
My heart's heavy like sand. You heat it up and then it just turns into glass. It's easy for you to smash. The wreckage is on fire; melted and twisted iron. Wood splintered and chipped with one hundred nails stuck in it. I choke to talk to you. I choke to look at you. You're a piece of string in my throat. My face is like a map; you see where you are at an X for, "You are here between my eyebrow and my ear. Just a tiny mole." You see it? From up close, a picture of your face tattooed on my face.
I've had other guys. I've looked into their eyes, but I never knew love before 'til you walked through my door. I've had other lips. I've sailed a thousand ships, but I'm never gonna let you go.You're the one for me baby. This I know 'cause it's true love! You're the one I'm dreaming of. Your heart fits me like a glove. And it's gonna be true blue baby I love you! I've heard all the lines. I've cried so many times. Those tear drops they won't fall again. I'm so excited 'cause you're my best friend. So if you should ever doubt, wonder what love is all about, just think back and remember dear those words whispered in your ear 'cause it's true love! You're the one I'm dreaming of. Your heart fits me like a glove. And I'm gonna be true blue baby I love you! 'Cause it's true love you're the one I'm dreaming of. Your heart fits me like a glove. And I'm gonna be true blue baby I love you! No more sadness. I kiss it good-bye. The sun is bursting right out of the sky. I searched the whole world for someone like you don't you know don't you know that it's true love, oh baby, true love, oh baby! True love, oh baby, true love it's true love, oh baby, true love, oh baby! True love, oh baby, true love it's true! So if you should ever doubt, wonder what love is all about, just think back and remember dear those words whispered in your ear. True love, oh baby!
I'm swinging from the chandelier
At the Seaside Diner far from where
The ocean rolls in, empty tide
Empty stomach, empty time
Drinking coffee, stirred it brown
Make your ass sit closer now
Swimmin' back to Allentown
Cause where I'm at ain't nowhere short of down
I'm down
I'm out
I've flat out hit the ground
Now for you I'm just a face in the crowd
And this guy burps on his bacon way too loud
It's a midnight Cinderella sort of sound
I know you hate Country
I know you love Ben Folds Five
I know everything about you
Except the only reason why
Communication lacks between
A different you and the same old me
I just wish that we could be again
I'm swinging from the chandelier
At the Seaside Diner far from where
You left me standing cold outside
Without you here I don't feel right
I don't feel much anymore
Falling from the ceiling to the floor
Swimming back down to the ground
Cause where I'm at ain't nowhere short of down
I'm down
I'm out
I've flat out hit the ground
Now for you I'm just a face in the crowd
And this guy burps on his bacon way too loud
It's a midnight Cinderella sort of sound
I know you hate Country
I know you love Ben Folds Five
I know everything about you
Except the only reason why
Communication lacks between
A different you and the same old me
I just wish that we could be again
I just wish that we could be again [x6]
I just wish that we could be
I didn't want to want you. I didn't need to need you. I didn't memorize your number, so I wouldn't be calling all the time. Now we get in a fight, and I can hardly sleep at night. My head is tired but my fingers dial your number one more time. Isn't it ironic that you and me are both moronic? I'll stick with you no matter what you do. And isn't it a gas when you and me are low on cash? Stick to me and you will see, I'll never peel you off of me. If you leave please don't forget the time the only hear that was stuck on you was mine. (I'm stuck with you. You're stuck with me. Can't you see it was meant to be?) I'm not saying that you changed me, but I know that you rearranged me. You kicked me in the right direction when you kicked me out of bed. I know I'm far from perfection. At least I still have your affection. I can turn off the radio but you'll ever get out of my head. Isn't it a shame that you and me are both so lame? I'll stick with you no matter what you do. We have such awful luck. I guess we're lucky to be stuck. Stick to me and you will see. I'll never peel you off of me. If you leave please don't forget the time the only heart that was stuck on you was mine. (I'm stuck with you. You're stuck with me. Can't you see that it was meant to be?) Is it such a bad mistake to commit yourself to me? How much more of this can you take?
I used to think that I would always sort of have it good, and never need to try too hard to waste as much time as I could. I'd never need to get a job, or have to earn a bunch. Now I wish I could just quit it all. I guess I'm shit out of luck. You could call me a loser 'cause I guess I never win, but whoever's got my voodoo doll must be running out of pins. I'll keep walking down the road, holding up my chin. I'm here for the duration because quitters never win. Back when I first met you I was hopeless and confused. I never cared too much about my knack for self-abuse. Sometimes I feel like climbing in to a hole that's six-foot deep. But why should I quit on myself? You never quit on me. You could call me a loser 'cause I guess I never win, but whoever's got my voodoo doll must be running out of pins. I'll keep walking down the road, holding up my chin. I'm here for the duration because quitters never win. Quitters never win.
It's funny how things change, and affect the things you do. Taking a big chance, and I'm taking it on you. Now I'm standing, feeling like I should have thought things through before I spoke. Everyone messes up sometimes. You've got to keep your chin high. Don't let it bring you down. I'm taking on the consequences. Sick of everyone, and I want to be alone. The best times of your life can be the worst ones, too.
I head due north on my plastic wings. Five hundred miles an hour. Dwelling on the little things. My weakness is your power. Can't stand to feel my heart. A lonely drum beat droning. How can we be apart? Stripped down to late night phoning. I'll have to learn to fight the lonely nights. It just doesn't seem right. A toast to you and me above the sea on this miserable flight. Can't stand to see your face. Your picture just betrays me. Can't stand to see this place. This room annihilates me. Your memory cuts like a knife. You scarred my brain forever. Am I doomed to a lonely life? I hope one day we'll be together. It takes all I have to give to live through every day without you. I curse these wings for flying me away from everything that I know is true in you. Miss you so much I hate you.
One light to the next, short distances between
numbers of the world, power my machine
so softly, but you can't hear me scream
I go on and on and on...but no one hears me scream
inside these four walls
with pictures to remind me of
you left a bitter taste in my mouth
I signed XO you tore it apart
Tattoo broken hearts, inside this keystone state
with open arms, its hear where I wait
So cold, there must be a warmer place
I go on and on and hanging on, how long will I wait?
Inside these four walls
with pictures to remind me of
you left a bitter taste in my mouth
You signed XO I tore it...
Inside this keystone state
It's here where I wait
I'll never forget
I'll never forget
I'll never....
Inside these four walls
With pictures to remind me of
You left a bitter taste in my mouth
i dont want to talk to you
you don't seem to understand that
don't come around my house
unless you've got my hat
its gonna be that simple
i want my hat back
the one with the furry thing on top
i want the red one
the one that you kept in your closet
i want my hat back
cuz i got a stupid haircut
i want my hat back
so damn you
i want it back
I don't wanna be your friend
you don't seem to understand that
how can you look me in the face
when you know you've got my hat
I want my hat back
I want my hat back
the one with the furry thing on top
i want the red one
the one that you kept in your closet
i want my hat back
cuz i got a stupid haircut
i want my hat back so damn you
i want it back
i know i got a lot of hats
that's my favorite one
silly girl, silly girl, give it back
thats my favorite hat
i know i got a lot of hats
thats my favorite one
silly girl, silly girl, give it back
i dont wanna talk to you, I just want my hat back
i don't wanna be your friend
you dont seem to understand that
don't come around my house
unless you've got my hat
i want my hat back
i want my hat back
the one with the furry thing on top
i want the red one
the one that you kept in your closet
i want my hat back
cuz i got a stupid haircut
i want my hat back
so damn you
Weathered, Hitting new lows
Uninspired, I can't let that one show
I'm so sick, of my routine
monotone, is killing me
Apathy, No sign of light
Boredom hits, consuming time
Will Someone save me?
I'm going crazy
I'm wasting my time again
with the same shit everyday
Weightless, thrown out the window
frustrated, so red I should explode
A change is long overdue
sick of what i'm going throw
Intoxicate and breaking down
the silence breaks without a sound
Will Someone save me?
I'm going crazy
I'm wasting my time again
How could I let this happen? I want to punch myself right in the head. I was wrong, but it felt right. Now I can't even fix it. I feel torn apart. A confused mental wreck. If it's not my brain, it's my heart. So I beat myself 'till I'm numb. What a mess I made. I feel dumb. Over and over, what can I say? Maybe I won't and it will go away. I feel torn apart. A confused mental wreck. If it's not my brain, it's my heart. How could I let this happen?
Put 'em on an island in some other place then we'll have them destroyed. They know what I want; know what I need. They leave me alone and annoyed. They make me burn they make me bleed. They dazzle me dirty. Dale, oh might as well be dead; might as well be blind. I can't get a second glance half of the time. Must be something in the water that I drink that makes me like Dale. So sick and tired of meeting girls high off of hairspray. So much hair care and nothing to say. They make me tall, they make me short, they make me brown, they make me blue, they make me ugly, they make me go ut and kill at night. I'm so sick and tired of being Dale.
Two hearts and a bottle in the park on Sunday Everything is perfect but somehow today Paddleboat's on the duck pond are nothing but exercise I knew it from the beginning what's it take to make you smile This won't be the last time (I fall for this) As far as I can tell Questions I keep asking myself (over and over), While you're putting me through hell Actions louder than your words, but no one is listening Because you're so self absorbed, from your lack of ambition And the pleasant taste is gone; all that's left is salt And I'll take you with a grain, and leave you in a song What's it take to make you smile?
i cant remember the last time i felt this bad
and i didnt mean to throw it all away
i wanted to leave, but knew that i should stay
its the day after and im feeling sorry for myself
now i know the problem
and im gonna have to face it one day
turn around its in my eyes
im gonna try
i cant remember the last time i felt this mad
i cant believe im acting out this way
what was i thinking?i let you push me away
lets stop moving backwards and start running faster
Tired of kissing make believe like they do in the movies I was thinking that our date Was like the perfect mix tape And I can't stop listening Lets say all the things we never say before it's to late This distance is driving me insane It's the gray I hate the most Hearts with c's enclosed in notes And I feel so out of place But when I'm looking at your face I can't stop smiling Tired of kissing make believe open up my heart with this key pick me up off of this floor I can't take this anymore I can't stop believing.
Stop feeling sorry for yourself, I know you'll keep trying to figure out your place. Strength keeps you off the floor, it never matters who you are. It's always what you're not. And this is what you have, but you don't know what for. I guess that's what I get for giving you what's mine. And I guess that's what I get for being that guy.
Sometimes I think I'll freak out. I'm apathetic. I act pathetic. I think I cracked this time. Sometimes I think I'm schizophrenic, frantically feeling for a foothold, but I put it off. Falling faster, I'm looking for an answer. I'm coming up with nothing. You'll never get me down from this ledge. I feel I'm losing everything. Losing my mind. Losing my pants. Unplug me; you can send up anyone you want. I'm Phil's last stand. I see what's in front of me. It's just not what I want. I'm just gonna give up 40 more years of the same, and life would be so boring again. That's all I can see. I don't wanna feel that stupid again. What's wrong with me. I'm freakin.
I'm falling first class from the sky. There's ice on my windows, and it's freezing outside. And my vision is so blurry, and I feel like a snowflake. When I crash into your window, spread apart and separate into tiny little pieces. I'm screaming on the inside, when it's silent on the outside. And I'm looking, through my glasses, rear-view mirror, then ahead. Try and catch me now. I'm frozen cold down to my bones, and I'm thinking of the summer. When I fall into your arms, and I watch you from my bridge view. While I think of things to say, the best always after. Press my ear to the ground and I listen for you. I'm screaming on the inside, when it's silent on the outside. And I'm looking through my glasses, rear-view mirror, then ahead. Try and catch me now. I'm falling first class from the sky. And my vision is so blurry. When I fall into your arms. I'm thinking of the summer. I'm screaming on the inside, when it's silent on the outside. And I'm looking through my glasses, rear-view mirror, then ahead. Try and catch me now.
By now I'm sure you've heard, someday you'll look back at this, Pile of photos, and I hope they make you smile, (make you smile) Because right now, they're bringing tears to my eyes. I'm safe for now on these quiet streets of my hometown. Take me baby, take me like a photograph, keep me close. Close to your eyes and I'll be right by your side, I'll be there. But right now, You're bringing tears to my eyes. I'm safe for now on these quiet streets of my hometown. If you know what I mean, If you know what I mean: Yeah So happy they could die. Every couple disgusts me.
