Isn't it crazy how you think you know someone so well farewell I should've realized sooner I was temporary We sit around I hear a sound it's a woman alone I should've seen the reason why I felt like I died a little soon we're in you're room my body's shakin' cold I had to leave to go retrieve the life that I once loathed I tried to give you the words that I knew would keep you here but you just ran I'm not the guy who would deny you what you say you want but it's not right Alone at night I can't sleep without you Alone at night Alone at night I can't sleep without you next to me "We moved too quick," but that's a fixable problem Just cut the shit I wanna get to the bottom of it I know you feel like I was still the reason why Your passion's gone, it's been so long, your plants are dry You read us all wrong You read us all wrong You read us all wrong You read us all wrong Your words, they cut through my bones The wounds will heal I drive to isolate my life from standing still The look in your eyes, a photo on Halloween A part of YOU died that night Just like me

it's buried 03:25

It's buried in my soul the fear of dying alone How to not think about it as you're growing old But it's buried You spin me around It's the reason I sway You bring me down You pass me around and it's the reason I stay confused inside my hole 'Do what I'm told But I'm squeezed and suffocated You seem to have it all figured out Our feelings aren't related It won't happen to me But it's buried in my In my soul In my soul In my soul In my soul But I'm squeezed and suffocated You seem to have it all figured out Our feelings aren't related It won't happen to me But it's buried in my soul

vanilla scent 03:43

I worked 10-9 I wanna get high but I can't now that I've met you Don't move your skin's so smooth I don't mind the light in my eye I hope that you'll give me a cause It's our own pace we set I love it when you get excited The VCR's on the previews are long Could you read the subtitles My eyes are weak Vanilla Scent Do I need a mint? It's the Beatles in the background staring me down I don't wanna leave But it's 6:30 in the morn' and my eyes feel heavy I don't wanna work or be a jerk but my arm's asleep and we're not uttering any words But that's okay I'm content if you are I don't wanna leave but it's 7:16am and my bones are fatigued I don't wanna leave But I know you'll be the end of me

preoccupied 04:01
lyrics

You don't know my name I don't play your games Just get to the point real soon A good day I won't let you ruin Preoccupied with what others say They're not around at the end of the day Your windshield's covered in rain Worried reflections in the glass Bent on a routine it seems it keeps you typecast It's the land that makes life possible is the same that make men hostile Preoccupied with their cynic words I can't deny that some of it's good But it's O.C.Debauchery Without light it's just stars I'm surprised we've come this far Trees and wind bring me back again to memories of being a kid It's hard to delineate 'cause it fades gradually When all is said and done You don't know my name and signs show disdain You're motivated by greed It's the waves controlled by the Moon I'm insignificant too Preoccupied with what others need Too hard on yourself just let it be But don't take advice from me

Between the heat and the bitter frost Count all the things you've lost Stashed aside in all corners of the globe Newspapers soaked in rain The letters dripping down your veins The air is grey and I can't believe you'd rather leave than stay for free Between the heat and bitter frost Between the heat and bitter frost Amidst a stubborn fog resist the ticking clock in the background of the left side of your brain Now, don't complain today Walk down an unknown street Head hung low fixed on your feet It's a dreaded tarot card with a blackened heart You missed the headlights staring at the stars Between the heat and bitter frost I found you Between the heat and bitter frost With your head held up high Kick dirt, it hurts But at least you tried You say you wanna rest Is that all you've to do You're barely half-dressed But sleep in shoes You say you wanna rest You say you wanna rest You say you wanna rest You say you wanna rest Between the heat and bitter frost Count all the things you've lost Stashed aside in all corners of the globe and now you're soaked in rain There's letters dripping down your veins The air is grey and I can't believe you'd rather leave than stay for free Between the heat and bitter frost Between the heat and bitter frost I found you cracked in two

You're surrounded You're surrounded You're surrounded You're surrounded You're surrounded What you think you know is just for show I see it in your eyes We locked heads and that set you off Another drink I had to think of how I'm getting home again on the road On that Highway 17 In the basement we're having fun We drank and sang and played the keys as 1am rolled around again You know what I mean You need to stop and think of what you've done don't you When'll you realize that you had no dreams at all it's no surprise Do you wanna slip away For just one moment's all I need When I'm next to you I just can't control myself When I'm next to you tonight

on a sleeve 03:18
lyrics

I'll drive into a wall if it'll stop the pain that won't go away You're mad and how is that It's not the way it goes It's not the way it goes On a sleeve I wore my heart out again Fallen leaves hide a Summer gone but well spent I've tried to run and hide In my apartment I stay as the broken record plays You laugh the polygraph It don't apply to me You can save your honey for his tea On a sleeve I wore my heart out again Fallen leaves hide a Summer gone but well spent This is a rant of common sense with proper tense I've gotten out this lull I'm in It leaves doubt in mind of all the time I've spent thinking aloud I've tried to run and hide In my apartment I stay as the broken record plays You laugh the polygraph It don't apply to me You can save your honey for his tea On a sleeve I wore my heart out again Fallen leaves hide a Summer gone but well spent

too many people 03:52
lyrics
buy track
Empty parking lot I throw my bottle in the air just to hear it break It's a metaphor the life I've made He's a transient on the sidewalk who skateboards along not knowing who's watching on Too many people are bringing you down They're unsatisfied with their situations Too many people are bringing you down When I'm wrong and you're right You can't change me You cannot change me overnight This night is long Why must we fight You can't change me You cannot change me overnight Too many people are bringing me down

rewind the movie 04:13

I've spent a lot of time thinking of you You're a good friend of mine I wanna know the truth Am I the best thing that you've got Am I the best thing that you've got Am I the best thing She doesn't know herself so how could she like me I sit here in Hell from the choices I must make You're the best thing that I've got You're the best thing that I've got Let's send them away 'cause you're the best thing The movie ended and the lights went off as you pulled me closer to your side I wanna rewind Striking out is second nature to me I got shot down at the age of 3 I missed the warnings the flashing lights I've spent a lot of time thinking of you You're a good friend of mine I wanna know the truth Am I the best thing that you've got While they're away You're the best thing that I've got Let's send them away You're the best thing

My look what I've found It was you in this ragged town I'm nervous lately sometimes I'm not perfect and baby you're right I wanna pick an orange from a tree I don't care if it's rotten as long as you're with me I wanna steal a kiss at the lake I made a big mistake My look what I've found It was you in this ragged town
