girl
02:14
|

i want a girl who can chew up my medicine
throw me under the bus when she’s done
i want a girl who can rip up my heart and then
sweep it under the rug when morning comes back to drag me down in the dust
oh i’ll never know when
if i got the chance to change my name i would
throw my face in the trash, forget the past
if i got the chance to cover my tracks i would
hop a far running train and never look back at where i came from
i want a girl who will stomp on my brain of sin
show me everything wrong with myself

hey girl
i think i like you but i don’t know why
i think i met you in another life
be my wife
julius
took a legion cross the rubicon
cast the die and now the game is on
number one
two things i know
i could go
you’d never notice i’m gone
bet it’s cold
in chicago with the wicked snow
wilco towers and cigarette smoke
blowin out your nose
desert sand
touched a cactus and it hurt my hand
wrote some songs about a foreign land
i hope you’re happy there
something shows
but you’ll never see
what it meant to me til i go
take the city
stab my back please
i’m itching to leave
just let me be someone good
hey gurl
i think i love you but i don’t know why
i think i met you in another time
another life

he’s a big kid
on the swing set
holding on for life
but he gets too tired
so he rubs his eyes
jackson teases
on the driveway
throwing out some lie
was it worth a try?
did he get the prize?
he’s a big shot
with the pumpkins
and a solution for time
such an ugly kind
what a stupid crime
rip the bandaids
see the skin scrape
tape the guitar clean
lay the body down
too composed for sound
nothing new to me
just an old routine
from way back in the day
he said it’s okay, it’s better off this way
he’s a big star
doesn’t care much
if he lives or dies
when he gets too high
or when the well runs dry
leaves the bus stop
walks the third block
to the county line
made it super fine
yeah he was up all night
i’m a grown man
work a day job
get my laundry done
in a quiet hall
never too much fun
but i’m a clean one
and i got freedoms
spend my time alone
in a quiet home
that i used to know
let me take you down to a plastic place
nothing new to me
just an old routine
from way back in the day
he said it’s okay

dogs
02:02
|
|||
rain rain falling on my shoulders like a dog
i work all day and sleep like a log at night
in the moonlight
some people say they’re better off when they’re alone
i think i know which way i would go if i were you
rain rain falling on my head i wanna drown
in a pool of my excuses i’ve never been found
to be the one who makes you smile
all the while i’ll know your name
but i won’t know the games you play

nothing to hide
01:53
|

got guns in my house
i got nothing to die for
got nothing to live for
got nothing to kill
i got guns in my house
i got nothing to hide
i got nothing to hide
i got nothing to hide from you
got words in my mouth
i got nothing but time
i got nothing but time
i got nothing but time
got words in my mouth
i got nothing but time
i got nothing but time
i got nothing but time time time
got guns in my house
i got nothing to run from
got nothing to hide from
got nothing to hide
i got guns in my house
i got nothing to hide
i got nothing to hide
i got nothing to hide from but me

ghost friends
02:00
|
|||
everybody that i know eventually gets bored
and then leaves me lonely, wanting
something that i know will never be in my reach cause i’m ugly stupid always dreaming
waiting for the end of the rain
haven’t found another who can read or uncode what i’m saying, feeling, thinking that
somethings gotta go i need to find a new home, maybe phoenix always loved a desert sunset, a scenery change
when i get to heaven will i make any ghost friends
or will they see right through me
cause not everything lasts when you’ve been to hell and back and that’s terrifying, so blind sided i’ve been crying in my bed for a week, i’ve been trying, i’ve been so damn
ready for release, i’ll send my body to sea for a cleansing, tell me it’s okay

best friends
01:46
|
|||
sunday went away too soon
and monday came and made me blue
never sure just what to do
when the waiter breaks the plate
welcome all the summer guests
some will stay to see who’s next
til winter comes and shakes the rest
out into the street
now i’m sitting on a pull out couch
slouched with nobody around
funny when the circle tilts
they follow the sun south
so take a bow and smile at
the leaves that pile around your neck
you like to think they fell for you
but you’re not fooling me
cause even when i’m gone
my memory will be your song
and i will wait for you in heaven
like a best friend
yesterday was trash i guess
tomorrow might just be the last
wishing for the best when all
the cars begin to crash
satellites and radios
and telephones to say hello
but who is there to dial up
if no one cares at all
so take me out back and grab
a gun out of the shed, and laugh
maybe i’m a hollow hack
fit for a shallow death
when you see me on the tv set
take a bow and smile at
the boy who couldn't help but fall
into your vacant lap
but even when i’m gone
my memory will be your song
and i will wait for you in heaven
like a best friend

gonna jump into the river and swim with all my friends
gonna buy some soap and scrub up in the tub
climb the tallest sky scraper in chicago and look up
at my great great maker up above
gonna tie that bow on the gift i bought for you
gonna start my truck and drive us to the zoo
gonna bake us a cake and cover it in love
for my great great maker up above
gonna go to the kitchen and grab my favorite snack
gonna do the dishes and throw away the trash
i’m a healthy helpful member of society, duh
for my great great maker up above
cause everything is awesome when you’re super duper cool
and the world wants to be your friend, because you really rule
so i’ll meet my friends at the YMCA pool
and thank my maker up above
and i’ve been looking forward to this
cause i love birthday time!
another day another chance to fly!

im happy we met
02:55
|

i understand
you don’t want a man
and you deserve so much
more than what i am
but it makes me happy
to know that i
am alive
at the same time as you
so you can pack up your things
and take a train out east
and i will wait here for you
like i always do
cause i’m your dog on a leash
a silly kid stuck in between
always looking for
something to believe

hot flash
fast lap
to the moon
see the stars pass
little loon
drink up
stiff cup
feel loose
feel nothing new
but i’m here
and i love
your cough
i love your step
i just hope you get
what you need
in the next life
in another time
you'll be smiling soon
nothing bad will hurt you
little loon

you? (bonus)
02:25
|
|||
i’m so confused
about you
i’m so confused
i don’t know what to do
with your hair falling down your head
some things just can’t be unsaid
i’m so confused
i still love you
puzzle piece
let me sink in the blue
with your head resting on my chest
there nothin id rather see
i’m so confused
always seem to lose
i’m so confused
about you
with your hand wrapped around my hand
there’s no place i’d rather be
than on that hill top in the sky
that sends us off across the sea

middle school soccer team
bench warm king
i practice like the other boys
but never can keep up the speed
i’m good at other things
like filling up my notebook
with superhero scenes
and writing little poems
for you, that you’ll never read
i’d need more self-esteem
but sometimes i think maybe
you feel the same way about me
high school freaks
all give me the creeps
i don’t ever wanna grow up
i don’t wanna get mean
or hurt anything
i see you in geography
you talk to me at lunch
i never care to say it
but to me you mean a bunch
and that’s enough i’m too shy for this
but sometimes i think maybe
you think the same thing about me
and next chance i get
i think i might tell you everything
sitting on the bleachers
playing with my hands
i pick be a little dandelion
and hand it to you
smiling down at your shoes
