Nose Rings
03:50
|
|||
Well, I used to have a thing for nose rings,
and she used to have a thing for low self esteem.
But, I got tired when I grew up.
And, I used to have a thing for a summer night,
Oh, I used to love pickin' fights.
Kids 'round here they just don't let up.
'Cause there's a darkness in this town
that's really got me down,
and Sheena's not a punk anymore.
Oh, we were so fearless of death,
so let me get this off of my chest:
When we get older, we won't feel like that.
I used to have a thing for tight jeans,
and she used to have a thing for fast machines.
But, she left, oh, when I ran right out of gas.
And, I used to feel like I was in love,
but now it just feels like I am stuck
in the middle of nowhere with no one.
'Cause there's a darkness in this town
that's really got me down,
and Sheena's not a punk anymore.
Oh, we were so fearless of death,
so let me get this off of my chest:
When we get older, we won't feel like that.
Oh yeah, when we get older, we won't feel like that.
Oh yeah, when we get older, we won't feel like that.

When we're talkin'
it feels like summer in my bones
feels like I am finally home
but it won't last
'Cause I've noticed
what makes you happy when you're sad
but, talkin' only makes it bad
unless I'm clever
But I've gotta pick it up,
'cause my time is almost done,
and I'm tired and lonely from waiting around for nothin'
Oh you know,
That I'm glad you're glad I'm glad,
when these words ain't so depressed
maybe my winter blues won't be left
yeah you know,
I'm glad you're glad I'm glad,
open hearts and heavy breath,
all this heaving in my chest
It's funny
how alike we have become
all this assimilation
I don't know who I am
But don't worry
It's not a bad thing at all
if it comes across as pissed off
just know that I'm not
Oh you know,
That you're glad I'm glad you're glad,
we're takin' what we can,
and we'll leave with what we get
yeah you know,
you're glad I'm glad you're glad,
all these words all left unsaid,
oh, it's just like a party

Clara's In Her Dress
04:43
|
|||
Clara is in her dress
and it's her sunday best
keepin' up appearances for the old folks
in her pocket she hides all of her smokes
but, pretty as she is
there are those things she did
she can't erase from the back of her eyelids
I've known her since we were kids
and I know she's been tellin' lies
can't get to sleep at night
every time she tries
she just can't get it right
it's like she got the wind
all knocked out and
someone punched out her lights
hangin' from the ceiling
the colors golden and gleaming
everyone comes for miles to stare
it's like I'm not even there
and in her lasting sleep
she's caught in a dream
no longer got any care
with the ribbons and the flowers in her hair
so I say, "Just sleep, baby, sleep.
No need to answer me.
You're the light that's shone through the deep.
Sleep, baby, sleep.
The grass will all turn green.
The sky will light up blue again."
And she is like the sun
so nice to everyone
and her troubles are just the core of her outward beauty
and nobody now
could ever leave her be
not even her own baby

Like A Dog
03:30
|
|||
When are you gonna notice?
I've been tryin' so hard
to put my words on paper, and I always put you in my songs
but you, you have no clue,
and I shouldn't be mad at you
excuses, excuses, for the same old abuses
help me get out right now
just tell me what you're feeling
'cause the way you joke has got me reeling
it's dry socket for my brain
all it does is cause me pain
'cause you've got me following you like a dog
and you can't even tell I'm a bit in love
so I drive through the night
blasting soul music cryin'
wishin' I was the one in those songs
you've got me following you like a dog
and you can't even tell I'm a bit in love
I drive through the night
blasting soul music cryin'
oh, they grow up so fast
give me no time to relax
drive me crazy as a bat
is there something that we lack?
but you, you have no clue,
and I shouldn't be mad at you
excuses, excuses, for the same old abuses
help me get out right now
'cause you've got me following you like a dog
and you can't even tell I'm a bit in love
so I drive through the night
blasting soul music cryin' at you
you've got me following you like a dog
and you can't even tell I'm a bit in love
I drive through the night
blasting soul music cryin'

Featherweight
06:46
|
|||
She, she's a featherweight
easygoing at any pace
and I'm the kind of guy
who'll forget
I forget to stay in my place
and we move like an interstate
drive into the dark as it gets late
It's easier for me
easier to treat her like love is disposable
It gets hard for me
hard to leave her be when I only learned to be subtle
a rattle trap
broken down hatchback
I call it love
she call it plastic wrap
it's constricting
i'm never listening
and I've rambled to the point
of the disregard for feeling

Cloudy skies and cold weather
you know, I'd say it could get better but I don't think it can
my baby says she loves me in my mind
my baby says she loves me in my mind
the year is coming around again
like the fallen leaves that've fallen on the ground
for me it's just like starting over
for me it's just like starting over
but the only dj making me fall in love
is you the way you pick out all of my favorite songs
and you've got me singing along again
but the only dj making me fall in love
is you the way you pick out all of my favorite songs
and you've got me singing along again
you know, I'm really dying to meet you
because I've never really seen you
but I know we're in love cuz we like all the same bands,
yeah I know we're in love cuz we like all the same bands
but the only dj making me fall in love
is you the way you pick out all of my favorite songs
and you've got me singing along again
yeah the only dj making me fall in love
is you the way you pick out all of my favorite songs
and you've got me singing along again
yeah the only dj making me fall in love
is you the way you pick out all of my favorite songs
and you've got me singing along again

Good Lord
04:08
|
|||
Always with the smart talkin' mouth
my head gets to restin' but my thoughts turn south
and you're colder than the pouring rain
just promise me you'll stay
and you killed me inside when you said he was there
and you blamed me for acting like I didn't care
did you want me to be afraid of you?
did you want me to leave?
well she's here now and you're with him
I look back at us when times feel grim
and I realized you sucked the life
out of every living thing
now I feel bad for him stuck with you
I never thought this would ever do
me better than I was before
good lord, good lord, good lord,
good lord, good lord, good lord,
I feel better than before.
good lord, good lord, good lord,
I feel so much better than before.

When I finally get to your house
you're in bed half asleep
and when I finally pass out
you're up and making coffee
so I guess I'll just lie alone
until the minute you leave
I'm too tired to go home
too restless to sleep
and darlin' I'm loony
but just hear me out
everything is going to change for me now
if I wanted to stay conscious,
you know I'd leave
but I'd rather just sleep off
my heart's disease
no it won't help
if it spreads to where you lay
but maybe if I stay long enough
your mind will change
and darlin' I'm loony
so just hear me out
everything is going to change for me now

Coffee Black
03:35
|
|||
I started to drink my coffee black
no more sugar coating
gonna keep my soul in tact
from the sweet nothings I read in the paper
can I save this growin' up thing for later?
I started believing everything I read
and I wanna know, can true love really be destiny?
and if the world were to stop spinning in a couple weeks,
I'd hope that you might still be holding on to me
somebody told me we're all spent
now, just let me give you my two cents
why would I give you a penny for thoughts
if they'll just get lost in the end?
the only thing I ever wanted to believe
was that my love could withstand a breeze
and if the world would just stop talking about you and me
maybe we could get a little bit of peace

It'll Be Just A Minute
05:00
|
|||
Well I left you in the city
in a second floor apartment
and I think that when I left
there was a piece of my heart that went
into the room with a tweed couch
and a turntable
we listened to your records and you talked to my friends
while i sat in the other room
I swear it'll be just a minute
I swear this'll be just a minute
and the whistling hot metal pierced my eardrums as it steamed
while the taste of mint and seasoning put my head into a dream
you took out your guitar and asked me to sit right next to you
said you learned a song last night and wanted me to sing it, too
and my heart it ripped open, 'cause your claws just scratched
and I hoped to myself that I wouldn't get too attached
I was on the floor beggin' to stay with you
and you were at your door telling me to pass right through
I swear it'll be just a minute
I swear it'll be just a minute
and if I leave anytime soon
tell me you'll be in the same place I left you
I don't wanna leave
what is it you can't see?
of all these things that I'm afraid of
it shouldn't be you and me

This town
is like an old fair ground
hasn't changed since the party left last year
don't you worry my dear
it comes back
on a heavy attack
and I've never stopped believing I had the chance
to find you
so get your dress on baby
fireworks hail tonight.
we both walk blind into a field of light
I don't know where you're going
don't know where you'll be
but please come find me
this town
is like a merry-go-round
everyone leaves until it spins them back
to my home ground
and lately I think
I can set myself free
but I realized it's not as bad
as it could be
so get your dress on baby
fireworks hail tonight.
we both walk blind into a field of light
I don't know where you're going
don't know where you'll be
but please come find me
