Crashed Ur Car

When I grabbed your keys
I never knew that I would crash your car
Travel wax pathetic
Never thought about it very hard
And everyone agrees that I'm grown up
And all the laws of nature decree it to be true
Every time I think of you I throw up
To read between the lines, it's the things I never knew
Getting back at me
I never heard you say those words before
Some indecency
Even now you leave me wanting more
And though the world may think I'm happy in my place
I'm not a man of action, I'm more like a disgrace
Tie me to a tree, my dear, and then you dance away
Happy now, a miscreant, the words I never say

Take The Money
02:35

In this time
Find out why
I get such youthful indiscretion in my eye
Killing time
Try to fly
I don't need the who, what, when, where, how or why
But if you would take the money
I'll be right here by your side
And if you would call me honey, man
I'd find a reason why
In this time of dying labels
In this mouth we seek to feed
I don't need to know the way to show the way
On this day
I will say
I will no longer walk the game you want to play
Who am I
(When you say goodbye, well someone needs you)
To walk by
(And they never do their best to please you, so)
In the face of all that's good you start to whine
But if you would take the money
I'll be right here by your side
And if you would call me honey, girl
I'd find a reason why
In this time of dying labels
In this mouth we seek to feed
I don't need to know the way to show the way

Fall For No Reason
03:01

I never know what to do
When my ambition runs straight right through my head
I never know what to say
Perhaps we'll save it for another day with me
Will you speak my name?
You know this boy has missed his train again
Now everything feels so wrong
You stick the landing, you know it's good to me
I'm tired of taking so long
I'm getting ready so don't speak so ill of me
Go down and lay your claim
You know the act won't cause you pain
When I find out
I'm on my own
Another freak out, well which way is home?
Is it true now?
It will wait another day
It will wait another day
Just sit around here and moan
And you're not answering your telephone for me
Everyone's talking out loud
I heard the word once, it was L-O-V-E
Fall for no reason, it's cool
You know it beats another day in boarding school
So now I'm with someone else
Your words can puncture, you know it's cruel to me
Say yes, but it's too late
I'm doing well but you're not great
When you find out
You're on your own
And you call me
But I'm not alone
Yes, it's true now
It won't help you in the end
It won't help you in the end

Hold You Tight
02:18
|

|
Can you speak louder
I need to hear you scream
They need to notice
And you know what I mean
Everything will work out fine
Sit down and spend a little time with me
Do you ever feel
Tied up and broke inside
Why do you seem so
Alone and petrified
I'm out on a limb here
Won't you please heed my call
Are you as see through
Why do I want it all
Don't tell me to speak so clear
It's reservation held so dear to me

Taken Your Good Advice
01:44
|
|||
|
I said I've been around the mountain
I said I've taken your good advice
I know baby tries to please me
You know, I know, I feed into your vice
It's so hard
And it becomes hard
Oh yes, I know it's over (pick it up, pick it up)
And oh yes, I've taken your good advice (I don't wanna know)
Oh yes, I know it's over
But don't show
Well you tell me that you're better
Than your friends all way up town
(If I have to ask a hundred times)
And I don't know you any better
Well, can you fit in a wedding gown
I have none
Oh yes, I know it's over (pick it up, pick it up)
And oh yes, and I know I've seen through (I don't wanna know)
Oh yes, I know it's over
But don't show

Well good try
You paid out late
The world will come to rest
And we will stop at that
Underneath some lover's scar
The wind won't move us very far
And God will know I've tried
Everybody wants to play it straight
They don't feel the nightmare of your hate
Give me one good shot, I won't let down
On a holiday you wear a frown
Somebody please tell me why I know the feeling
Somebody please tell me why I've introduced myself
When you tell me three times that I'm overdue
Just to feel thirty times that I am brand new
Maybe I feel I'm the best
And maybe I can't touch your chest
And aren't you lonely too?
So he'll try to act real cool
And out comes the same old fool
Who's lost it every time
But I dream of you and everyone
And the pain of not becoming one
I don't try my best, I know it's true
Every word around me slips right through
Somebody please tell me why I know the feeling
Somebody please tell me why I introduced myself
And when you tell me three times that I'm overdue
Just to feel thirty times that I am brand new

You'd Cry
02:36
|
|||
|
Look away without a shred of reason
You're freaking out, you know it scares me too
I never knew (the things we talked about)
Would come so true (now won't you please get out)
It's every day and I'm not gonna feel it twice
You'd cry if you knew how much you meant to me
I'd die if I couldn't be your fantasy
It's alright, it's ok
I'll leave unscathed today and whine
It's really nothing in the end
Slow down soon, you might get what you deserve
And I'll pick myself up roll back home
You're laughing now (not like we used to do)
I let you down (your eyes an ocean blue)
Your silly words
Well they just pierce right through and tear me up, cause
I'd cry if you knew how much you meant to me
I'd die if I couldn't be your fantasy
It's alright, it's ok
I'll leave unscathed today and whine
It's really nothing in the end

Make It Long
03:03
|
|||
|
And on the day
You never felt the same again
You would laugh and tell your friends
The extent of bitter ends
As if I should care
Bleeding from the heart it seems
And to live is to be seen
So don't wake me from the dream
I know it's long
But if, well, you could see me now
We'd make a wish somehow
That we could stand eternally
Time's gentle arm caressing me
And though it wouldn't last
The hourglass falls fast
In time we'll see that no one's like you
From arid ash
Building castles in the sand
And now I'm some other man
And I finally understand
I know it's long

Awake and Miserable
03:05
|
|||
|
I'm everyone's favorite thing
And the whole room can see I can fight on my own
Stick around, don't let it ring
And you'll feel new
But on this day I will pray
And on this day I can say I will hold you all the time
Keep your eye on the prize
And I'll find you
I call out, but it's just not enough
I find you awake and miserable
Don't tell me why (I won't try again)
You lead me on (in the end, in the end)
I hurt so much
All for nothing
You've set the scene
A passing phase
And I'm knocked out
A million ways
I call out, but it's just not enough
I find you awake and miserable
I find you awake and miserable

Not Quite Swallow Me
01:41
|
|||
|
Everyone is not quite hollow
Planning out their own tomorrow
Dreams unfold in matinee
Your eyes too bright for me say
That I'd kiss them neat and quickly
Peeling off with words quite sickly
In eternal light I hope I see enough to learn the ropes
And oh, there I go again
Free in this world to absolve a man from sin
And oh, there they go again
Sharing the knowledge that could save them in the end
Well I can be not quite swallowed
Plans of hunting me tomorrow
If I had the world today
I'd say my piece then send them on their way
