i can’t sleep cause of something your said
oh, all these thoughts running round in my head
and i don’t wanna sit around here anymore
all my friends are going away
and i’m still here wasting day after day
and i don’t wanna sit around here anymore
and if it’s ok by you
gonna find something better to do
cause i’m feeling little bit out of tune
all my friends are going away
and i’m still here wasting day after day
and i don’t wanna sit around here anymore
i’m just afraid that i’ll fade away
before i get the chance to do something great
and i don’t wanna sit around here anymore
and if it’s ok by you
gonna find something better to do
cause i’m feeling little bit out of tune
you know i gotta get out soon
before i start to split into two
before i start to turn into you
i wrote a song in 17/8
but if it’s not 4/4 then i’m not getting laid
and i don’t wanna sit around here anymore
i’m just afraid that i’ll fade away
before i get the chance to do something great
and i don’t wanna sit around here anymore
and if it’s ok by you
gonna find something better to do
cause i’m feeling little bit out of tune
you know i gotta get out soon
before i start to split into two
before i start to turn into you

Four Quarter Pool
03:00
|
|
||
|
driving around in your old station wagon
the windows rolled down
dancefloor to fake tails
packard to main
we speed through the yellow lights
down to the dock
oh, where we can get stones
four quarter pool
down at the old arcade
dressed in the suits we bought for prom
in the garage
we order four pizzas and forget the world
till we get caught by your mom
you’ll be fine
but try not to let go
you’re in your mind
but it’s just not you anymore
way after dark
we hit the golf course
cavort with the stars
and roll down the hills
and i fell in love
she tore my heart out
it ruined my life
at least for a week
you’ll be fine
but try not to let go
you’re in your mind
but it’s just not you anymore

Start This Over

i can see we’re standing on the dock and you’re smiling
looking in my eyes like they’re galaxies spiraling in my head
and i can feel your breath on my lips and your touch on my hand
and now the sun sets
now i snap out of it and remember
my life’s not a movie, nobody rolls credits on the day jdie
i’ve just gotten pretty good at daydreaming
And wishing i could make you mine
i don’t wanna waste your time
already wasted enough of mine
i know you’ve probably made up your mind now
i’ve fallen behind now
i can’t admit to myself that i’ve missed my chance
just wanna say can’t we start this over?
i’m a bit young but i know what i’m looking for
don’t tell me you’re busy, just give me a no
my heart can’t live off of excuses
so break it if you have to
but don’t go just yet, gimme five more minutes
to make my case, to tell it like it is, it’s just
i never learned how to play this game
it didn’t come with instructions
when i look into your eyes, i see galaxies
all lined up and it spells my name
but i had a dream last night
i said hi and you rolled your eyes
i was convinced it was real life
i don’t wanna waste your time
already wasted enough of mine
i know you’ve probably made up your mind now
i’ve fallen behind now
i can’t admit to myself that i’ve missed my chance
just wanna say can’t we start this over?
i’m a bit young but i know what i’m looking for
don’t tell me you’re busy, just give me a no
my heart can’t live off of excuses
so break it if you have to
i can see we’re standing on the dock and you’re smiling
looking in my eyes like they’re galaxies spiraling in my head
and i can feel your breath on my lips and your touch on my hand
and now the sun sets

and i made sure that when you left
you had the book in your arms

around that much since then
but i see your posts
sometimes
i saw the photo of your bookshelf
my book is living on the bottom left
and oh i think i want to read it again
oh i think i want to read it again
and now you’re quoting hemingway
for all the world to see

if you're in my car or you’re needing a lift
when your classes are done or you finished your shift
take my aux cord and plug it in
open the windows, let out all the steam
i wanna aux all night, aux all day
aux every kind of song that we wanna play
aux in the kitchen late in the evening
aux in the park if that’s how we’re feeling uh
we were driving up 94
she turned around, said “you tryna aux, love?”
said “yeah," told shotgun to bump it
he said “why?"
i said “cause i’m tryna aux bro”
now we’re at my place sitting in the den
listening to records at 2 am
remember that one song? it goes like this
gotta switch to the aux for three and a half min
i wanna aux all night, aux all day
aux every kind of song that we wanna play
aux in the kitchen late in the evening
aux in the park if that’s how we’re feeling uh
we were driving up 94
she turned around, said “you tryna aux, love?”
said “yeah," told shotgun to bump it
he said “why?"
i said “cause i’m tryna aux bro”

i went back to the spot at the foot of the hill where we used sit in my car and listen to songs
but all i did was stare at your number in the little dirt parking lot
i thought maybe by now it’d be alright after all
maybe right now’s not such a bad time to call
sitting at the corner of huron river drive and parkway
i thought about driving by your house just to see if the lights were on
and i remembered all the times i picked you up and that scent you had on
cause that scent you had on would fill up my car and stick to my clothes
and i hoped with all my heart that it would never leave me alone
and i can smell the grass at huron river drive and parkway
i dont wanna feel your pain
and i don’t wanna make the same mistakes
i don’t wanna fel your pain
i was listening to the crickets and watching the cars go on by
watching the reds and greens take turns lighting up streetsigns
and i thought about the way your face was lit in turn
the way my insides burned, how much i used to yearn
sitting at the corner of huron river drive and parkway

what a lovely carpet
i think i’ll lay down right here
what a shitty party
everybody here thinks i’m weird
i don’t know who you are
and i don’t know where my friends went
guess ill just walk home now and
fall asleep on the couch
with the spins
hey i give up
i’m not feeling brilliant right now
but that’s alright
i’ll be more useful another time
hey i give up
i’m not feeling brilliant right now
next time i’ll bring an open mind
what a lovely evening
what a shitty conversation
you look so fucking bored
what is wrong with me?
i swear i’m more interesting than this
you’re just so pretty (change)
oh you’re not laughing at my jokes
i’m really trying here
This shits hilarious
it worked out so much more in my head
hey i give up
i’m not feeling brilliant right now
but that’s alright
i’ll be more useful another time
hey i give up
i’m not feeling brilliant right now
next time i’ll bring an open mind
