Scratches on the walls from patients down the hall
Colored canvass painted by them all for the colors of the fall
Premonitions of perdition now before it's all gone by
Tried and true these cells cast shadows here so madness can subside
Don't ever believe a word they say my friend
It'll come back and haunt you in the end
Don't ever believe a word they say my friend
It'll come back and haunt you in the end
Never decide, but it's not unlike you
Out of my mind and it's true I'm like you
Voices seem so real, but give me time, my messed up head will heal
Constant fear that grips me might go by, stick around I'll try
To play the pawn in a game that's all but lost
Tried and true these walls speak whispers here 'til sanity exhausts
Don't ever believe a word they say my friend
It'll come back and haunt you in the end
Don't ever believe a word they say my friend
It'll come back and haunt you in the end
Never decide, but it's not unlike you
Out of my mind and it's true I'm like you
Worthless sad attitude shows for the fix I've fallen into
All this time to revive my aching conscience but I knew
I knew
Don't ever believe a word they say my friend
It'll come back and haunt you in the end
Don't ever believe a word they say my friend
It'll come back and haunt you in the end
Don't ever believe a word they say my friend
It'll come back and haunt you in the end

Lonely

Well I heard you're back in town, and you know I'm still around
Sometimes I wish things could be like they used to be
Back in fall of 2012 you didn't know me all that well
Guess it's fair to say I didn't know myself
Your indecision is like the water in an endless sea
Your best impression is the outrage that you feign for me
Are you lonely too? 'Cause I miss you - I miss you
On a Sunday afternoon the memories provoke a different mood
The best way to escape is to dissociate
Well you always keep it vague and I don't think 'cause I'm afraid
Collective thoughts of hypocrites can wait
Your indecision is like a shadow in a crowded street
The only way to find it is to open up your eyes and see
Are you lonely too? 'Cause I miss you - I miss you
I fell asleep sprawled on the floor, but not for long 'cause you
Had slammed the door - a glare is not a great way to communicate
We took a walk down to the park and hung around 'til it was dark
What's the point if we don't get to procrastinate?
Your indecision is like the water in an endless sea
Your best impression is the outrage that you feign for me
Are you lonely too? 'Cause I miss you - I miss you
Are you lonely too? 'Cause I miss you - I miss you
Are you lonely too? 'Cause I miss you - I miss you

If You're Around

Meet me down here, if you have the time
If you'd want to
Whether or not you're taking sides
I can't decide
Tell me I'm here, or somewhere beside
Lie if you want to
Lie about everything I'm here to find
Never been the one to really decide (now that times run out)
Never would want to even if I had tried (now that times run out)
Never been the one to really decide (now that times run out)
Never would've thought that I would really ever have to lose you
Meet me down here, if you're around
I'll control you
Hear me out now, just as a sound
I'll work this out
Had to end sometime, to keep it alive
Keep it moving
Nothing so dead as a diamond frozen in time
Never been the one to really decide (now that times run out)
Never would want to even if I had tried (now that times run out)
Never been the one to really decide (now that times run out)
Never would've thought that I would really ever have to lose you
Sometimes you're better off, to leave it alone
Undiscovered
The path that's better off, nobody knows
Sometimes you're better off, to leave it alone
Undiscovered
The path that's better off that nobody knows
Meet me down here if you're around
If you'd want to
Meet me down here, if you're around
Never been the one to really decide (now that times run out)
Never would want to even if I had tried (now that times run out)
Never been the one to really decide (now that times run out)
never would want to even if I tried

It's not so much the temperature giving me chills
It's not so much my nervousness, that much I can tell
It's not so much the endless nights, making me forget
I'm always trying to get us drunk, what did I expect?
It's not so much the audience, or lack thereof
My interest had been compromised before I begun
It's not so much the lack of gin, making me shy
Girl you got me burnin' with that look in your eye
And everything I feel is as real as a heart attack
As real as a heart attack
But I won't react - if you promise that I'll leave intact
Were you unaware? Of the way you look it isn't fair
Were you unaware? That the world stops when you stare
Were you unaware? You're unaware
Playin' up in Manchester, makes me wanna die
I guess for now the Alibi will be my alibi
It's not so much I'm desperate, I just wanna be your man
I just want you to think I'm cool, but I don't see how you can
It's not so much I'm bitter, I'm jaded at my worse
Always trying to impress is both a blessing and a curse
It's not so much the alcohol, making me try
Girl you got me burnin' with that look in your eye
And everything I feel is as real as a heart attack
As real as a heart attack
But I won't react - if you promise that you'll call me back
Were you unaware? Of the way you look it isn't fair
Were you unaware? That the world stops when you stare
Were you unaware? You're unaware
And everything I feel is as real as a heart attack
As real as a heart attack
But I won't react - if you promise that you'll call me back
Were you unaware? of the way you look it isn't fair
Were you unaware? That the world stops when you stare
Were you unaware? That the world stops when you stare
Were you unaware? That the world stops when you stare
Were you unaware? You're unaware

I Got You

Christmas was a bust, but I don't wanna make a fuss
I coulda had it worse, I coulda been alone
I didn't even want a gift, 'cause I know that don't mean shit
I don't need no stuff, I got you
We met on Mother's Day, and you said your name was Mae
That day was trash, but I thought we had some fun
Well I couldn't keep away, you told me I should stay
We had a time, I got you
Words are hard which is why sometimes I say what I don't mean
Thought I'd been in love before but it wasn't what it seemed
Please excuse my confidence I thought this was a dream
Now this is something, what we've got, you and me
Got some words I wrote in vain, and a song stuck in my brain
'Bout how all the things, remind me of you
I didn't mean to act insane, and I don't wanna be a drain
I truly hope I still got you
Words are hard which is why sometimes I say what I don't mean
Thought I'd been in love before but it wasn't what it seemed
Please excuse my confidence in case this is a dream
Now this is something, what we've got, you and me
Now I'm packing up my car, with my only one guitar
Gonna drive 'til I fall off the earth
I'm gonna play in every bar, I may never be a star
That's alright, I still got you
That's alright, I still got you
That's alright, I still got you

It's Cool

Could you ever convince yourself?
Could you ever forget?
About what you have felt
Do you think we could work this out?
Maybe try to set things straight?
Please try to relate
And It's a shame that we can't hate the world together
When we both wanna die
And I'm a fool so I wrote this song about the weather
And all of the distance between you and I
She said I'll see you when everything's alright
I know you'll stay 'til then - but I don't know why
He said I'll see you when everything's alright
I guess that I'm not fine
Is it a real tattoo?
What a stupid question
You've got nothing to lose
I'll do what's left to do
It's just for you
It's all for you
And It's a shame that we can't hate the world together
When we both wanna die
And I'm a fool so I wrote this song about the weather
And all of the distance between you and I
She said I'll see you when everything's alright
I know you'll stay 'til then - but I don't know why
He said I'll see you when everything's alright
I guess that I'm not fine
She said I'll see you when everything's alright
I know you'll stay 'til then - but I don't know why
He said I'll see you when everything's alright
I guess that I'm not fine
She said I'll see you when everything's alright
It's alright
It'll be just fine, it'll be alright
It'll be alright - it's cool
It'll be just fine, it'll be alright
It'll be alright - it's cool

You Don't Notice
04:22

She fell down the stairs, but she didn't care
We got drunk and I messed up her hair
That's about right given last night
She fell down the stairs, but she didn't care
The night before I just can't compare
The way she was making eyes just wasn't fair
The door guy hits the lights, but I'm feeling alright
She just smiled and I just sat and stared
I know this: that you don't notice
that this small town will bring you down
But I'll be around (I'll be around)
In case this all should burn to the ground
But you don't notice (you don't notice)
You don't notice (you don't notice)
Stood up top of the hospital parking lot
Pulled out a flask and we were taking shots
She asked "are you scared of heights?" and I confessed
She just laughed as I expressed distress
Walking home I'd say we had our fun
When a cop pulls up and she decides to run
When you try to make amends, but you make a mess
I make a joke, but no one was impressed
(I know this) I know this: (that you don't notice) that you don't notice
(So if you ever feel) That this small town will bring you down
(da da da da da da da down)
But I'll be around (I'll be around)
In case this all should burn to the ground
But you don't notice (you don't notice)
You don't notice (you don't notice)
You don't notice (you don't notice)
You don't notice
Tried and true our love is like a windshield that I crashed through
Falling on the pieces
I wore out all my strings to play for you
What can I do?
Serendipitously I watch you as you fall asleep
Wish I weren't so ignorant
Please accept my apology
(I know this) I know this: (that you don't notice) that you don't notice
(So if you ever feel) That this small town will bring you down
(da da da da da da da down)
But I'll be around
In case this all should burn to the ground
Now you notice
You notice
And it's just us
It's just us

Never Know
04:11
|

I know what I said, and I think that I said it wrong
But these apologies for everything we've done won't ever fix it
It seems like such a waste what people take for granted
What we take for granted
One more drink just to kill the pain, the misery you feel today
Until tomorrow you anticipate
Forever is a very long time to wait
Especially when forever feels like every day
Nothing means anything
If you don't want it to
I don't care about that
As long as I'm with you
Hang on 'til then
'Cause you never know
Just what life holds
We can't pretend
'Cause you never know
You never know
I know I seem sad, but I think that you see me wrong
In spite of everything that's been the same it always feels unusual
Indifference is a relative state of mind
Irrelevant to what you think that you define
It didn't mean anything
Unless you want it to
I don't care too much
As long as I'm with you
Hang on 'til then
'Cause you never know
Just what life holds
We can't pretend
'Cause you never know
You never know
Nothing means anything
Nothing means anything
Nothing means anything
Hang on 'til then
'Cause you never know
Just what life holds
We can't pretend
'Cause you never know
You never know
Hang on 'til then
'Cause you never know
Just what life holds
We can't pretend
'Cause you never know
You never know

For Forever
04:11

I've been tryin' to get it right
I didn't mean to put you down or start a fight
What else can I say to you?
That I haven't said a thousand times before today
But now I'm getting in my own way
And you're putting your boots on you're grabbing your coat
But I really wish you'd stay
Yeah, I really wish you'd stay
All I want's to be okay
For, for forever, for, for forever
For, for forever - loneliness ain't all it seems to be
Knew it from the start
Someone must've broke your heart
Someone to forget
Well you're running around what you really want
But you haven't found it yet
No you haven't found it yet
It won't hurt to take a guess
For, for forever, for, for forever
For, for forever - loneliness ain't all it seems to be
All I want is to be okay, okay
For, for forever, for, for forever
For, for forever, for, for forever, and ever, and ever
Forever

Chaperone

Another drink, another Jameson
I'll sing this song for you if we go out again - again
Another night and it's almost 4am
You said it's warm outside, and I said I'll sleep when I'm dead
I need a chaperone
I'd kill a fifth and fall asleep in the snow
I need a chaperone
I need a chaperone
Getting late now, half past Jen o'clock
Well I'd be cool if all we did was talk - was talk
Sun is up and I'm lyin' in the grass
Searchin' for the pieces of that glass
I need a chaperone
We'll drive tomorrow, 'cause I hate goin' slow
I need a chaperone
I need a chaperone
Well I just can't seem to let it be
This time we've spent has been quite the reprieve
I hope you're not too bothered by my apathy
Half awake and I'm lyin' in van
Out on old 66 wonderin' where it all began
Thank you, Texas, well I sure had fun
I'll drink my Lone Star first - then I guess we're done
I need a chaperone
I'd kill a fifth and fall asleep in the snow
I need a chaperone
I need a chaperone
We'll drive tomorrow 'cause I hate going slow
I need a chaperone
I need a chaperone

27 Minutes

27 minutes is the time that it takes
For me to pack my stuff and see your face
And I promise, you're not a flyover state
You're my New York City, and that's pretty great
And I can tell you'll never tell
I can tell you'll never tell
Why, oh why, did I treat you so unkind?
Why, oh why, did I have to change your mind?
27 minutes is the place between now and then
I'd stay awake all night to see you again
And this wait's been the longest that it's ever been
We're just wasting time - so tell me when
And I can tell you'll never tell
To hear your voice would do me well
Why, oh why, did I treat you so unkind?
Why, oh why, did I have to change your mind?
Why, oh why, did I treat you so unkind?
Why, oh why, did I have to change your mind?
27 minutes is the time that it takes
For me to pack my stuff
And see your face

On The Snowy Streets

On the snowy streets
Soft light reminds me
Of when we'd meet
Outside of Fody's
Remember walking home when we passed out in the grass?
Man, that was a laugh
But memories they fade in time no matter how you try
I really wish they all could last
In an empty bar
Above a river
you said don't go
I said I'd never
And I'll keep staring out the glass just happy to be close
With all our little sounds
Even in our silence there's a comfort that I can't
Get my head around
Staring at the water and I'm wondering if I'll get it right
If I'll get it right
The Merrimack's as black as the blackest ice tonight
The sweetest dream
That you'd consider
But I can't seem
To shake these shivers
Or maybe that's the wind out here - it's blowing right through me
Like I'm empty, like I'm empty
Maybe it's December's chill, but you don't seem to mind
I guess it's just me, it's just me
It's well past 2 o'clock, I've been drinking whiskey and I can't speak
I can't speak
It doesn't seem to matter now on the snowy streets
I asked for more
Another sunrise
To adore
In the meantime
