pick up the phone
i wanna talk
about my day
it really sucked
the sun was out
i thought i was fine
but then you slipped
into my mind
i wanna see you
but i know i can't
cause you're not home
you're never home
i can't remember
why you left
and why you took
back all your stuff
i'm sorry i lost
your favorite t-shirt
i'll buy you a new one
a better one
pick up the phone
i wanna talk
about how i miss you
i miss you so much
hop on a plane
come back and see me
i promise i won't be such a brat
i promise i won't be such a brat
i promise you anything, i promise you that
i promise you that i won't be a brat
i promise you anything, i promise you that
i miss you (x8)

forget the second coming
i need you in the here and now
instead of dreamin' up a way to
spread your name across the world somehow
when you told me you were leavin'
i wasn't thirsty for revenge
no i wasn't disappointed much at all
cause you'll be back again
if you're movin' out to the west
then you'd better learn how to surf
the tide will break in on itself
and there are no ghosts to exhume or unearth
if you're gonna do it then do it
otherwise you just might lose your nerve
i swear that ocean it swallowed me fully
and it might have to follow you home
when you wake up in the morning
and you hear that awful applause
put it in your fuckin' napkin
and watch it dissolve
you could seal it in an envelope
tuck it away in your sleeve
but you can't take it to the bank
and you can't take it back

from one moment to a next
reading in the papers to know what's best
sometimes you don't know yourself
eating loads of vitamins for your health
from one moment to a next
red negativity in the street
maybe it's the dirt, maybe it's the heat
a baby on a bus smiled at me so easy
now i think it's alright we're together
now i think that's a riot, ah yeah
now i think it's the best we've ever played it
now i think that's a riot, ah yeah
now i think it's alright to feel inhuman
now i think that's a riot, ah yeah
now i think it's alright we'll sing together
now i think that's a riot, ah yeah
a running child's bloody with burning knees
a careless child's money flew in the trees
a camping child's happy with winter's freeze
a lucky child don't know how lucky she is
from one moment to a next
a thousand wasted brooklyners are depressed
the ins and outs of supper's chest
he'll only be your friend if he touches your breasts
from one moment to a next
a shifting in the plates of what you ingest
from sugared teas to honeyed pests
bulimic vegetarian wins weight contest
now i think it's alright we're together
now i think that's a riot, ah yeah
now i think it's the best we've ever played it
now i think that's a riot, ah yeah
now i think it's alright to feel inhuman
now i think that's a riot, ah yeah
now i think it's alright we'll sing together
now i think that's a riot, ah yeah
a running child's bloody with burning knees
a careless child's money flew in the trees
a camping child's happy with winter's freeze
a lucky child don't know how lucky she is
this one's

goodbye

my highs are high, my lows are low
and i don't know which way to go
every time you leave this house
everything falls apart
i can't get myself off the couch
i don't wanna talk to anyone else
every time you leave this house
everything falls apart
i lost my job, i miss my mom
i wish my cat could talk
every time you leave this house
everything falls apart
well i don't love you
but i don't hate you
i don't know how i feel
well i don't love you
but i don't hate you
i don't know how i feel
and nothing makes me happy
not even tv or a bunch of weed
every time you leave this house
everything falls apart
and every time you go away
i feel like i could cry
but i would never really cry 'cause
you're the worst at goodbyes
you're the worst at goodbyes
you're the worst at goodbyes
goodbyes at goodbyes (x4)

light the lamp and fire mellow
cabin essence timely hello
welcomes the time for a change
lost and found, you still remain there
you'll find a meadow filled with grain there
i'll give you a home on the range
i want to watch you windblown facing
waves of wheat for your embracing
folks sing a song of the grange
nestle in a kiss below there
the constellations ebb and flow there
and witness our home on the range

home/you

i drove hungover a thousand miles to escape an endless stripmall town
where a tj maxx is being built
where a tj maxx just got torn down
where everyone’s sad and everything’s bleak
i’ve been here days, it feels like weeks
i can’t get home out of my mind
i can’t get home out of my mind
i can’t get home out of my mind
and it’s driving me out of my mind
you always push me to go out and learn a few more faces
and i always have to hold you when we sleep in creepy places
officer don’t take these pills from me
i swear they’re for my ADD
i can’t get you out of my mind
i can’t get you out of my mind
i can’t get you out of my mind
and you’re driving me out of my mind
and there’s nothing to do
another month or two, ’til i am home with you
but what’s the point of this
i can’t think it’s bliss, even when you say it is
i can’t get you out of my mind (x3)

who are parents
parents are the ones who really care

parents are the ones who are always there
who are parents
parents are the ones who really care
who are parents
parents are the ones who are always there

who are parents

what a beautiful face
i have found in this place
that is circling all round the sun
what a beautiful dream
that could flash on the screen
in a blink of an eye and be gone from me
soft and sweet
let me hold it close and keep it here with me
and one day we will die
and our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
but for now we are young
let us lay in the sun
and count every beautiful thing we can see
love to be
in the arms of all i'm keeping here with me
what a curious life we have found here tonight
there is music that sounds from the street
there are lights in the clouds
anna's ghost all around
hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
soft and sweet
how the notes all bend and reach above the trees
now how i remember you
how i would push my fingers through
your mouth to make those muscles move
that made your voice so smooth and sweet
and now we keep where we don't know
all secrets sleep in winter clothes
with one you loved so long ago
now he don't even know his name
what a beautiful face
i have found in this place
that is circling all 'round the sun
and when we meet on a cloud
i'll be laughing out loud
i'll be laughing with everyone i see
can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all

i see a darkness
04:44
|

|
well you're my friend
that's what you told me
and can you see
what's inside of me
many times we've been out drinking
and many times we've shared our thoughts
but did you ever, ever notice
the kind of thoughts i got
well you know i have a love
a love for everyone i know
and you know i have a drive
to live, i won't let go
could you see its opposition
comes rising up sometimes
that its dreadful anteposition
comes blacking in my mind
and that i see a darkness
oh no i see a darkness
oh no i see a darkness
oh no i see a darkness
and did you know how much i love you
there's a hope that some how you
you can save me from this darkness
well i hope that someday buddy
we'll have peace in our lives
together or apart
alone or with our wives
and we can stop our whoring
and pull the smiles inside
and light it up forever
and never go to sleep
my best unbeaten brother
this isn't all i see
oh no i see a darkness
oh no i see a darkness
oh no i see a darkness
oh no i see a darkness
and did you know how much i love you
there's a hope that some how you
you can save me from this darkness

die anywhere else
03:24

dust on this tired old street
marked corners where we used to play
dust traced our tired old feet
in circles as we pace our time away
i just wanna die anywhere else
if only i could die anywhere else
so come with me let’s die anywhere else
anywhere, just not here, no
stuck on this dead end street
where all the new kids come to play
stuck where past and future meet
watching all our autumns drift away
i just wanna die anywhere else
if only i could die anywhere else
so come with me let’s die anywhere else
anywhere, just not here, no
and if they ever hear my name
will they know i walked alone
along these dusty streets
my tired old home
and will they ever stop to think
what was here before, no
they won’t remember that i’m gone
i just wanna die anywhere else
if only i could die anywhere else
so come with me let’s die anywhere else
anywhere, just not here

if i could have it back
all the time that we wasted
i’d only waste it again
if i could have it back
you know i would love to waste it again
to waste it again and again and again
i forgot to ask
sometimes i can’t believe it
i’m moving past the feeling again
sometimes i can’t believe it
i’m moving past the feeling again
sometimes i can’t believe it
i’m moving past the feeling again
sometimes i can’t believe it
i’m moving past the feeling again
