Make Damn Sure

Filed under: Music

You’ve got this new head filled up with smoke
And I’ve got my veins all tangled close
To the jukebox bars you frequent
And safest place to hide
A long night spent with your most obvious weakness
You start shaking at the thought
you are everything I want
‘Cause you are everything I’m not

And we lay, we lay together just not
Too close, too close (How close is close enough?)
We lay, we lay together just not
Too close, too close

I just wanna bring you down so badly
(Well I trip over everything you say)
I just wanna break you down so badly
(In the worst way)

My inarticulate store bought
Hangover hobby kit it talks,
It says, "You, oh, you are so cool."
Scissor shaped across the bed, you are red, violent red."
You hollow out my hungry eyes
You hollow out my hungry eyes

And we lay, we lay together just not
Too close, too close (How close is close enough?)
We lay, we lay together just not
Too close, too close

I just wanna bring you down so badly
(well I trip over everything you say)
I just wanna break you down so badly
(In the worst way)

I just wanna bring you down so badly
(Well I trip over everything you say)
I just wanna bring you down so badly
In the worst way (worst way)

I’m gonna make damn sure that you can’t ever leave
No, you won’t ever get too far from me
You won’t ever get too far from me
I’ll make damn sure that you can’t ever leave
No, you won’t ever get too far from me
You won’t ever get too far from me
You won’t ever get too far from me
You won’t ever get too far…

I just wanna bring you down so badly
(well I trip over everything you say)
I just wanna bring you down so badly
In the worst way (worst way)

I’m gonna make damn sure
I just wanna bring you down so badly
I just wanna bring you down so badly (damn sure)
In the worst way (worst way)

Tonight

Filed under: Music

I remember the times we spent together
On those drives
We had a million questions
All about our lives
And when we got to New York
Everything felt right
I wish you were here with me
Tonight

I remember the days we spent together
Were not enough
And I used to feel like dreamin’
Except we always woke up
Never thought not having you here now
Would hurt so much

Tonight I’ve fallen and I can’t get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you, I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

I remember the time you told me
About when you were eight
And all those things you said that night
That just couldn’t wait

I remember the car you were last seen in
And the games we would play
All the times we spilled our coffees
And stayed out way too late

I remember the time you sat and told me
About your Jesus
And how not to look back
Even if no one believes us
When it hurts so bad
Sometimes not having you here
I sing

Tonight I’ve fallen and I can’t get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you, I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

I sing
Tonight I’ve fallen and I can’t get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight…

Moment of Truth

Filed under: Music

Here we are, in the best years of our lives.
With no way of knowing,
When the wheel stop spinning cause we don’t
Know where we’re going
And here we are, on the best day of our lives.
And it’s a go, lets make it last, so cheers you
All to that, ‘cause this moment’s never comin’ back

I used to know her brother, but I never
Knew I loved her, ’till the day she laid her eyes on me.
Now I’m jumpin’ up and down,
She’s the only one around, and she means
Every little thing to me.

I’ve got your picture in my wallet, and your
Phone number to call it, and I miss you more,
Whenever I think about you,. I’ve got
Your mixed tape in my Walkman, been so
Long since we’ve been talkin’ and in a few
More days, we’ll both hook up, forever and ever

And here I am, on the west coast of
America and I’ve been tryin’ to think for weeks of
All the ways to ask you, And now
I’ve brought you to the place, Where I’ve
Poured my heart out, a million times, for a million
Reasons, To offer it to you
I used to know her brother, but I never
Knew I loved her, ’till the day she laid her
Eyes on me. Now I’m jumpin’ up and down,
She’s the only one around, and she means
Every little thing to me

I’ve got your picture in my wallet, and your
Phone number to call it, and I miss you more,
Whenever I think about you,. I’ve got
Your mixed tape in my Walkman, been so
Long since we’ve been talkin’ and in a few
More days, we’ll both hook up, forever and ever

I used to know her brother, but I never
Knew I loved her, ’till the day she laid her
Eyes on me. Now I’m jumpin’ up and down,

Nice Piece of Art

Filed under: Music

I’ve tried not to let anyone in until now
I guess conversations never allow
And I’ve been feeling like I’m on some sort of marry-go-round
And I know, I know, yeah I know, I know

And I’ve tried not to let anyone in until now
It took time for me to figure it out
And when I feel like I’m complacent with my
Head in the clouds
And I know, I know, yeah I know, I know

And every time I wonder what’s real you make me feel…

You make me feel like a lavender sweater
And I’m caught in bad weather,
In my Volkswagon Jetta
You make me feel like a complete work of art
When I’m just falling apart
A really nice piece of art

Dear God, (art, art, art…)
I hope you hear me (art, art, art…)

And I’ve tried not to let anyone in until now
Misunderstandings are an easy way out
And I’ve been feeling all this pressure just to figure it out
And I know, don’t know, yeah I know, don’t know

And I know if I can stay strong I can make it
And try harder when I just can’t take it (can’t take it)
And when everything around me feels so broken and jaded (broken and jaded)

And I know, I know, yeah I know, I know
And every time I wonder what’s real you make me feel…

You make me feel like a lavender sweater
When I’m caught in bad weather
IN MY VOLKSWAGON JETTA
You make me feel like a complete work of art
When I’m just falling apart
A really nice piece of art

(art, art, art…)
It’s kinda of warped, but it’s picking up slowly
I don’t know, but I can if you’ll show me
I guess sometimes it takes more than just fake conversations
To feel like I know that
It’s kinda hard when I’m planning for something
To get across this whole without jumping
I guess sometimes it takes more than just false information
To find out who we are

You make me feel like a lavender sweater
And I’m caught in bad weather
IN MY VOLKSWAGON JETTA
You make me feel like a complete work of art
When I’m just falling apart
A really nice piece of art

Taste of Ink

Filed under: Music

Is it worth the can you even hear me
Standing with your spotlight on me
Not enough to feed the hungry
I’m tired and I felt it for awhile now
In this sea of lonely
The taste of ink is getting old
It’s four o’ clock in the fucking morning
Each day gets more and more like the last day
Still I can see it coming
While I’m standing in the river drowning
This could be my chance to break out
This could be my chance to say goodbye
At last it’s finally over
Couldn’t take this town much longer
Being half dead wasn’t what I planned to be
Now I’m ready to be free

So here I am it’s in my hands
And I’ll savor every moment of this
So here I am alive at last
And I’ll savor every moment of this

Won’t you think I’m pretty
When I’m standing top the bright lit city
And I’ll take your hand and pick you up
And keep you there so you can see it
As long as you’re alive and care
I promise I will take you there
We’ll drink and dance the night away
We’ll drink and dance the night away

So here I am it’s in my hands
And I’ll savor every moment of this
So here I am alive at last
And I’ll savor every moment of this
Savor every moment of this

(As long as you’re alive here I am..)

As long as you’re alive
Here I am
I promise I will take you there

As long as you’re alive
Here I am
I promise I will take you there

Won’t you think I’m pretty
When I’m standing top the bright lit city
And I’ll take your hand and pick you up
And keep you there so you can see it
So long as you’re alive and care
I promise I will take you there
So long as you’re alive and care
I promise I will take you there

So here I am it’s in my hands
And I’ll savor every moment of this
So here I am alive at last
And I’ll savor every moment of this
Savor every moment of this
Savor every moment of this

You’re So Last Summer

She said
"Don’t, don’t let it go to your head
Boys like you are dime a dozen
Boys like you are dime a dozen"
She said
"You’re a touch overrated,
You’re a lush and I hate it,
But these grass stains on my knees
They won’t mean a thing"

And all I (all I)
Need to know (need to know)
Is that I’m something you’ll be missing
(is that I’m something that you’re missing)
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that far
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that…

I’d never lie to you
Unless I had to I’ll do what I got to
Unless I had to I’ll do what I got to, the truth
Is you could slit my throat
And with my one last gasping breath
I’d apologize for bleeding on your shirt

And all I (all I)
Need to know (need to know)
Is that I’m something you’ll be missing
(is that I’m something that you’re missing)
(maybe I should hate for this)
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that far
(maybe I should hate for this)
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that…

Cause I’m a wishful thinker with the worst intentions
This’ll be the last chance you get to drop my name
Cause I’m a wishful thinker with the worst intentions
This’ll be the last chance you get to drop my name

If I’m just bad news, then you’re a liar (Maybe I should…)
If I’m just bad news, then you’re a liar (…hate you for this)
If I’m just bad news, then you’re a liar (Maybe I should…)
If I’m just bad news, then you’re a liar (…hate you for this)
If I’m just bad news, then you’re a liar (Maybe I should…)
If I’m just bad news, then you’re a liar (…hate you for this)
If I’m just bad news, then you’re a liar (Maybe I should…)
If I’m just bad news, then you’re a liar (…hate you for this)

Maybe I should hate you for this
(If only you knew half as much as you pretend to)
Maybe I should hate you for this
(If only you knew half as much as you pretend to)

Buried Myself Alive

Filed under: Music

You almost always pick the best time,
to drop the worst lines.
You almost made me cry again this time.
Another false alarm,
red flashing lights.
Well this time I’m not going to watch myself die.

I think I made it a game to play your game
and let myself cry.
I buried myself alive on the inside,
so I could shut you out,
and let you go away for a long time. GOD!

I guess it’s ok I puked the day away.
I guess it’s better you trapped yourself in your own way.
And if you want me back,
you’re gonna have to ask.

I think the chain broke away,
and I felt it the day that I had my own time
I took advantage of myself and felt fine.
But it was worth the night,
I caught an early flight and I made it home.

I guess its ok I puked the day away
I guess its better you trapped yourself in your own way.
And if you want me back
you’re gonna have to ask
nicer than that
nicer than that…

With my foot on your neck
I finally have you,
Right where I want you,
Right where I want you,
Right where I want you,
Right where I want you

I guess its ok I puked the day away
I guess its better you trapped yourself in your own way
And if you want me back,
You’re gonna have to ask

Nicer than that,(I guess its ok I puked the day away)
Nicer than that (I guess its better you trapped yourself in your own way)
Yeah, and if you want me back,
You’re gonna have to ask
Nicer than that
Nicer!!
Nicer!!

A Decade Under the Influence

Filed under: Music

Well, SAD, SMALL, sweet, so delicate
It used to be this dying breed
Well I’ve got a bad feeling about this
I’ve got a bad feeling about this

You kept still until the long drive home
And slept safe and close to the window…
Well, I’ve got a bad feeling about this
I’ve got a bad feeling about…

Who’s to say you have to go? (I could go all night)
Well say you have to go (I could go all…)
To hell with you and all your friends
To hell with you and all your friends, it’s on

Well sad, small, sure and porcelain
You’re skin and bones, I’m a nervous wreck
Well I’ve got a bad feeling about this (when it comes to this)
I’ve got a bad feeling about this

You kept still until the long drive home
You slept safe and close to the window
Well I’ve got a bad feeling about this
I’ve got a bad feeling about…

Who’s to say you have to go? (I could go all night)
Well say you have to go (I could go all…)
To hell with you and all your friends
To hell with you and all your friends, it’s on

Well, I got a bad feeling about this (what is this for?)
I got a bad feeling about…

Anyone will do tonight
Anyone will do tonight
Close your eyes, just settle, settle (it’s on…)
Close your eyes, just settle, settle (it’s on…)
Anyone will do tonight

Close your eyes, just settle, settle (it’s on…)
Close your eyes, just settle, settle (it’s on…)

Close your eyes, just settle, settle (it’s on…)
Close your eyes, just settle, settle (it’s on…)

Well I got a bad feeling about this,
I got a bad feeling about this (to hell with you and all your friends, it’s on).
I’m coming over but it never was enough
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you
