Me to You
03:41
|
|||
|
I need a drink
and a little time to think
I need something to do
and a little more time with you
there is nothing I won't do
if it brings me to you
there is nothing I won't do
if it leads me to you
I get so tired
(unintelligible)
and I'm just full of nonsense
there is nothing I won't do
if it leads me to you
there is nothing I won't do
if it leads me to you
(unintelligible last verse)
there is nothing I won't do
if it leads me to you
there is nothing I won't do
if it leads me to you

I Can Feel My Skull
03:39
|
|||
|
Like the wind knocked out
I can feel my hair falling away
so look up and look away
(unintelligible)
I can feel my skull pressing against my brain
I can feel my skull pressing against my brain
beautiful world
The world is best from a distance
Blue and green
spinning and pleading and living
The world is best from a distance
but I don't worry about that at all
I can feel my skull pressing against my brain
I can feel my skull pressing against my brain
beautiful world
Remember when I had that car?
That nice guitar?
Remember thinking I was climbing out
But I don't worry about that.
I can feel my skull pressing against my brain
I can feel my skull pressing against my brain
I can't feel at all even if you want me to
I can't feel at all
beautiful world

Caring at All
02:44
|
|||
|
Maybe I'm lonely or maybe I'm scared
or maybe I never feel prepared
but I don't want you to settle for me
I just want to be the only thing that you need
The only thing that you need
The only thing that you need
And maybe we're just wasting time
maybe it's all in my mind
well maybe... who cares at all
and I'm better off not caring at all
Not caring at all
I'm not caring at all
I'm not caring at all
I'm not carrying it all

I Don't Bother to Try
03:30
|
|||
|
I see more than I should see
but that's not really up to me
and I know more than I need to know
I only know what you've done for show
I don't ask why you do
I don't try to understand you
I know all that you want me to
and I know all the things I should do
I don't try to get better
and I just write all these letters
I don't ask you why
and I don't bother to try
and I don't, I don't ask you why
and I don't bother to try
I don't, I don't ask you why
I don't bother to try
I don't, I don't ask you why
I don't bother to try

|
the time has come for me to figure out
if I believe what I sing about
is it time for me to just lay down?
is it time for me to just lay down?
I don't mind
is it on me to stay alive
and just try and breathe and never die?
is it time for me to give it up?
is it time for me to just give up?
because I don't mind
I don't mind

Nothing to Get Out
01:43
|
|||
|
You keep asking me "What's wrong?"
and I'll keep telling you "there's nothing wrong."
and you ask if maybe you've done something wrong
I'm just trying to make sure we still get along
We've got nothing to talk about
I've got nothing that I want to get out
there's nothing left that I need to say
anyway

Next Year
06:00
|
|||
|
My bones creak under my weight
My eyes sink further every day
My skin crawls and slips away from me
My face is not who I used to be
I hope
I hope someday I'll be
Something, Something that means to me
everything, everything I want to be
Next year, maybe
The days pass unnoticed by me
The years fall and die around my feet
I float through the air like falling leaves
and I'll disappear like fallen leaves
I hope
I hope someday I'll be
Something, something that means to me
everything, everything I want to be
Next year, maybe
Next year, maybe
Next year, maybe
Next year, maybe

Keep my head high
Keep my eyes wide
and the more I long
Keep my mood high
don't think about
(?)
What if I find another way?
What if I had something to say?
What if I got out of my own way?
What if I had something to say?
keep my head down
and my feet on the ground
and (?)
(?)
know what I rely on
What if I found another way?
What if I had something to say?
What if I found another way?
What if I found another way?
Write another song
I will get along if
I can explain to you who I am
Gain another face
and I will stake my claim to
whoever it is I think I am
What if I found another way?
What if I had something to say?
What if I found another way?
What if I had something to say?
What if I got out of my own way?
Wouldn't that just be a day.

Okay, You Win
04:23
|
|||
|
Amazes me I've lasted this long
and I see how I've done it all wrong
it catches up to me like I knew it would
my brain don't work like it should
okay, you win
okay, you win
It amazes me I remember to breath
and somehow always find something to eat
amazes me that you still stick around
But we both know I'm only dragging you down
okay, you win
okay, you win
okay, you win
okay, you win
okay, you win
okay, you win
oh, son of a bitch

I had a dream about your hair
running my fingers through it
I had a dream about your stare
Amazing that I woke up and made it through it
I just want to be better
I know I have always been better
I know I keep saying I should be better
and I don't know why I'm obsessed with better
I had a dream about your voice
Running through my bones and all over the place
It sits inside the walls of this old house
it sits inside the walls of this old house
and I'm not sure if I want to be better
I don't even know what's considered better
I don't think that I'm going to get better
I don't know why I'm so obsessed with better
sometimes you call me on the phone
and I wish you would just leave me alone
it's easier pretending you don't exist
it's easier pretending you aren't missed

Song for the Empty House
04:13
|
|||
|
Wake up in the morning and get myself dressed and find something to do
I don't think I'm going to
sit in my living room and act like I
have got something going on inside my life but I don't
I could write a thousand songs and paint a hundred paintings and write a million stories
but I've got nothing but full boxes of shit around me
Pace through the house and pour a drink.
try to figure out what it is I think about you
and everything
and I've got nowhere to be
I've got nothing to see
no one wants to meet
I guess that's fine with me
and I'm sure the weathers great outside
but I'm staying inside
I don't know what to do with my time
I'll just clean the house again.
You think I have such a hectic life and
you think I had such a beautiful wife you think
you know what I'm doing now you think
I know what I'm doing now
and I've got nowhere to be
I've got nothing to see
no one wants to meet
I guess that's fine that's fine
My shoes are dirty and my pants kinda get loose
when I wear them too many days in a row
but I never see anybody so I guess they wouldnt know
just a box of wine and a whole lot of time and
I'm trying to sort out my goddamn mind
but I can't
And this song goes on forever
this song is gonna go on forever
if I just keep thinking
and I've got nowhere to be
I've got nothing to see
no one wants to meet
Its this old life for me

Thank God
04:08

I got one girl who likes to sing me songs
I got one girl who likes to tell me I'm wrong
I got one girl who likes the color of my eyes
I got one girl who likes my lies
I got one girl who likes the way that I dress
I got one girl who says I'm a mess
I got one girl always blowing me off
I got one girl that likes to sing me song
but none of them are you
none of them are you
none of them are you
thank god.
I got one girl who likes to cook me meals
I got one girl who likes the way that I feel
I got one girl who likes the things that I say
I got one girl who wants to get away
and none of them are you
none of them are you
none of them are you
Thank god.
none of them are you
none of them are you
none of them are you
and I always think thank god
I always say thank god
I always write thank god
What if I'm wrong
I got one girl who's had enough of my shit
I got one girl who's so tired of this
I got one girl who says I won't be missed
and it's you
and none of them are you
none of them are you
none of them are you
and I'm wrong

Don't Say
02:36
|
|||
|
Sometimes I talk to you
Just to touch base again
Just to see how you're living
my old best friend
and I know you're somewhere else now
and I'm not much to you
that's all right with me I guess
it's we're supposed to do
I'm glad you're doing good now
I'm glad it's working out for you
I'm glad you're looking up now
Sure I guess I'm doing what I'm supposed to do
I wish you wouldn't say what could have been

you keep making small talk with me
you keep trying to make up with me
I don't care
I don't care
you keep telling me that we're okay
you keep saying things are better this way
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't feel anything
I keep thinking about all the good times
and trying to frame it all like it was all the time
and I keep wanting to make up
and I keep wanting to make up
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
you believe I don't care
don't you believe I don't care
don't you believe I don't care

I Think You're Pretty
02:41
|

|
Don't feel so shitty
I think you're pretty
that won't pay your bills
but even still...
Shit might look dark
it doesn't matter
because one fucked up job
it doesn't matter
because what have you lost?
just one fucked up job
don't feel so shitty
I think you're pretty
and I like talking to you
it's something you'll get through
don't feel so shitty
I feel so shitty

keep finding spiders in my house
it's nice to have someone to talk to
keep finding spiders in my house
it's nice to have someone to talk to
and I keep getting number
and I keep forgetting your number
and I can't seem to feel my legs anymore
*****
go and see the doctor and mellow me out
go and see the doctor and mellow me out
a week in and I can't feel a thing now
and I went five days without a drink
everything is dust now and I can't think
and it's, it's got to be for the best
I'm not sad
and I'm not happy
but I'm somewhere in between
and I can't create things
and I don't want to sing
if you know what I mean
but it's, it's gotta be for the best
it's, it's got to be for the best
I'm never hungry
and I'm never angry
go to the doctor and mellow me out
but I'm always thirsty
mellow me out
I need a drink
I need a drink
I need a drink
mellow me out
calm me down
nail me to the ground
stop the sound

fuckin who cares
03:49
|
|||
|
you tell me you keep thinking about me
how literally everything reminds you of me
and I keep thinking I'm trying to forget you
sixty days of drinking myself to death
and I don't know if I give a shit
and I don't know if I care about it
you only send me messages sometimes
when you got something you have to get off your mind
I don't fucking belong here
you don't fucking belong there
we don't belong anywhere
well I don't care at all
I don't care at all
and I've loved so many girls since you left me
that's just fucking fine I guess whatever
and none of those girls are actually you
and if they were I don't know what I would do
fuckin who cares
fuckin who cares
fuckin who cares
fuckin who cares

The Ink Won't Flow
05:32
|
|||
|
and I know the songs are gone
and I know the winter's long
and I know it all works out
if you stay I think it can work out
I can't find the words
to fill up my world
the ink won't flow
and I guess that's just how it goes
So I've got to move along
and write some shitty songs
So I've gotta keep moving on
forget that I used to write true songs
Oh they'll come back to me
and maybe I'll believe
there's still some part of me
that will, with passion, speak

well I didn't know you didn't know
and if I had known, I don't know...
I wouldn't have said anything
and I did not go back home
'cause I didn't know that you didn't know
well I shouldn't have said anything
and I shouldn't have said anything

Haven't you thought you've had enough of this?
Haven't I given you someone to miss?
Haven't we thought about this all before?
I don't know
I'd like to say it could get better
I'd like to just blame it all on the weather
I'd like to say it's just to much time apart
but I don't know
