this is how it always starts,
with a look in the eye, and a hold of the hand
i guess, i didn't think too hard about it,
frankly did anyone else give a damn?
and i suppose it's just a matter of time,
till we're lying in the grass, getting covered in bites
it's just the little tax that you just have to pay
when you have so much time in your life
i dont know where i'm going
all i know is i
can't just let the time go by
i just feel i've got to try
and late at night
through the snores of my sleeping roommate i
find
that the breath in my lungs is so much sweeter
than it's ever been
i can't wait to make this house a home again.

Milkshakes
03:20
|

hey man whatcha up to?
do you wanna do anything tonight?
we haven't hung out in a while
we could grab some shakes after 9
we could go play pinball
you could even crash at my place
let's just out of our heads
and not have to think bout anything
i know it's late
but i know there's still time
for joyrides
and milkshakes
look at the stars
and realize that each one
reminds us
who we are
but it's not so easy
they've been puttin more street lights up
so the view is kinda hazy
cause it doesn't get dark enough
isn't that poetic?
isn't that just so profound?
whatever, this shake tastes great
we'll just find peace in this town
or whatever we're looking for
on a night like tonight
you can even have the aux cord
just keep me feelin alright
and i know it's hectic
i know it's all going down
but as soon as you get off work
i'll pick you up we'll drive around
i know it's late
but i know there's still time
for joyrides
and milkshakes
look at the stars
and realize that each one
reminds us
who we are

the students rush their papers
and are picking out the capers
from the meal they had too many times that year
they didn't like em anyways
but ate them just to prove to all their friends
"look im a human
doing normal human things"
i'll make it clear
despite the theatrics
i'm doing quite alright
i'd like to think
so don't you worry april
i'll soon be home
and i'll get to hear your voice again
yeah
a full three months is far too long
i've been writing down these thoughts in
permanent ink
so don't you worry april
i'll send you letters
i'll tell you all about these boring weeks
all the people that i've met
all the things that i have seen
i've barely gotten my feet wet
it couldn't hold a candle up to
us at night in the frozen air
the snow like glitter frozen there
nearly 4 am and counting
but we both know we don't really care
or a kickback sippin on whiskey and cokes
and the lightweight fool who gags and chokes
sipping nasty drinks with some string lights on
just shooting the shit with the tv on
it's chill
but i miss you, april
despite the theatrics
i'm doing quite alright
i'd like to think
so don't you worry april
i'll soon be home
and i'll get to hear your voice again
a full three months is far too long
i've been writing down these thoughts in
permanent ink
so don't you worry april
with me and you
i think we're gonna make it out alright
yeah, we're gonna make it out alright

Ugly/Ugly
03:08
|

you never feel the same
you barely know my name
and still it's not my place
to diss you face to face
you fought behind your wall
i hid, you stood so tall
took time to figure out
ugly inside and out
cause if it's not too late, i've been waiting for you
with your fucked up face, yeah this hate is toward you
i got no problem with the cold shoulder
but remember that the both of us will soon be getting older
yeah i'd like to carry on, but i'd hate to bore you
(ugly inside and out)
(ugly inside and out)
(ugly inside and out)
(ugly inside and out)
(inside and out)
(inside and out)
(inside and out)
(inside and out)

Give It Hell
04:05
|

peer out the window at the cars outside, you wish you
were someone different living other lives, it's not
anyone's fault but your own but that just
makes it all the worse when you're alone
as if the silence makes it any easier to
think clearly when you're stuck in your head
checking your cellphone way too much
wish you were out instead
so i'll give you one more hug
and then bud you're on you're own
you know, fuck the things they said
you gotta get out of your head
so they'll give you one more chance
so just stand right up and dance
you know, fuck the things they said
you're gonna do it all instead
you used to think you had it figured out, and now you
realize you didn't, so you sit and pout, you know
everyone dies, and i know that you know so
stop moping around when you're alone
i know it's harder than it ought to be, but it
it will get easier so clench your teeth, put on a
beanie and jacket, leave home and find your
self in everyone else who is alone
all i want to do
is get out of here be done with school, i
don't know how to tell you
but this waiting shit was never cool, i
wanna put all of this to rest
i wanna feel cold air fill my chest
i wanna do something
i wanna give this shit my all
i wanna give it hell
so i'll give you one more hug
and then bud you're on you're own
you know, fuck the things they said
you gotta get out of your head

find it hard to believe
you're not here with me
stuck here on lane street
still trapped in my room
i won't see you soon, i guess
pinned to my bedsheets
and i know it's just no use
being so damn mopey
all of the time
but if i had just one good thing up here
i'd be fine
i'd be alright
eating dinner with the lights off
stroll the city in some high tops like i'm
tryna be someone that i'm not
(if you saw me then you might scoff) mm, well
find it hard to believe
you're not here with me
stuck here on lane street
still trapped in my room
i won't see you soon, i guess
pinned to my bedsheets

Again
04:26
|

an eight year silence
i'm fine i promise
i want you to know
if i don't make it home tonight, i'm sorry
if i can't make it all alright, forgive me
i've just been running out of time-- it's so cliche
but that doesn't make it go away, it sticks and stays
a lightyear's distance
i'll never listen
well here we go again, again
again, again
again, again, again
here we go again, again
again, again (i'm stuck inside my thoughts)
again, again, again (caught up on what i lost)
as if i never tried breathing
the stupid frigid air
as if you're all not leaving
yeah you leave me standing there
why should i
why should i still be here
or anywhere else
why should i
why should i ever go home
or leave home
or anything, anywhere
tell me, tell me anything at all
just keep me breathing
convince me, convince me nothing could be wrong
my hands are seizing
if i could tell it to you
i'd say it any way i can
i'm so scared
of getting left behind
and i know that it's unreasonable to think
the world is ending, or that you'll
leave me, but prove me wrong
it's all happened before
and it'll happen again
it's all happened before
and it'll happen again
it's all happened before
so here we go again
so here we go again
so here we go again, again
again, again (i'm stuck inside my thoughts)
again, again, again (caught up on what i lost)

turn off the lights and come sit down it's
it's been too long since you've been right here with me
and though the gravity's lost on all of us
maybe we'll find it tonight, we'll wait and see
i'm just so tired of sitting in my room
how can you blame me it's not easy to do
i haven't written in ages, poems or songs
i haven't felt this in ages, like i belong
i miss the projects and late night TV
i miss the shit talk and proving our teachers wrong
maybe it's just hard
cause now you're somewhere else
and i know that it's just not like us
it happens anyway
maybe i'm just tired
of fighting for everything
and just know that i'll always be here
to take it day by day so if
you had a bad day
or i had a bad day
you can always hit me up.
just call with no warning
play games until morning
take our minds off all this stuff.

you've said it all before
when? where? well you're not sure
but you've ought to get it right this time
and if i don't close the door
then you'll be pissed i'm sure
laying in the bathtub crying
like everything's normal
is it bad to wish life was ending?
was ending?
left everyone on read
and i went back to bed
still in my jeans, my glasses on
i'm not even trying
and if i don't call you back
then that's the end of that
pawing at your cellphone
trying to make all your thoughts go away
and if i was still in dallas
and you still in la
me, drunk, stumbling and naive
one false step from taking my life away
would they even care about me?
would you even know my name?
do you think i'd have more songs to write?
do you think that i'd feel the same?
i'd find myself in stairwells
top floor, parking garage
i fell asleep in the stockrooms
writing a text to my whole entourage
i never want to grow up
don't make me grow up
i never want to forget what made me this way
i don't want to grow up
i don't want to grow up
i'm just kind of tired of today

Juicy Fruit
02:30
|

i don't really wanna do this
i don't really wanna go outside tonight
can you please turn on the music
i just want a little silence in my life
and i know it's gotten too hard
to keep in touch
and i know that i've gone too far
to keep this crutch
daydreaming, stuck in my car
i'm here too much
moving like binary stars
afraid to touch
but it's stuck in my teeth
and it won't come out, and it's
got me spinnin in circles
like a roundabout
back at my desk again
write a song that'll never reach you
filling all my notebooks
with high school memories
and i should be over it
but nothing really ever goes away
and my head just latches on to your voice
in the night and the songs that you used to play
but i'm just so tired
and i can't go home
should i shut my mouth
is it all still fine
will we be okay
let me go to sleep
make it go away
make it go
and yeah i'm sick of it
so what's the point just keep it moving
in the thick of it
like juicy fruit you can't stop chewing
picking fights with all
my friends who don't think i can make it
i've got the wherewithal
so put up that wall, i'm gonna break it
maybe
it's time burn that bridge
it's time to cut that tie
it's time to move along
from here on
i'm trying something new
i'm getting out of bed
and moving on from you.
