Who left that little light on? I thought that you were somebody else You're the girl who dreams of diamond rings And I'm the boy who just doesn't sleep But we're not quite sure what that means yet A light blinks across the water I thought of that book you read Of the man who longed for the love that he'd lost And how mine was right there with me But at the time I just couldn't see it, yeah You cut me off You cut me off It's not your fault It's not your fault Fly with me south for the winter You're a bird you just didn't know it But the airlines are such a pain these days And it's cheaper so it seems If you just go and use your wings I don't know if you've got it in you I don't know if I care All I know is that I love to hear you talk And I love to hear you scream From the tops of all your trees, yeah You cut me off You cut me off It's not your fault It's not your fault Oh, there is nothing to do here Oh, there is nothing to do here Oh, there is nothing to do here Oh, there is nothing to do without you here You cut me off You cut me off It's not your fault It's not your fault

Well girl, let’s make some dinner plans She calls her group of lady friends I’ll be the one man band, no one can hold my hand Cause I’m using both my hands Well I’m stuck here, drowned in girlish smells Who thought this could become my hell I’ve got these ho’s to my left, and ho’s to my right Got all the girls looking cause I’m with ladies night Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh And oh I must be going crazy I’ve got two too many girls on all my extremities And I start the arguments I’m a psychologist, don’t you think so? Well oh, oh, please, it’s so flattering All of your blabbering, you’d find me royal too Or am I blind, I’m blind to all my pride I thought I glued my eyes open wide So can we give up the fight, I think I just might Go show to the young how to get back to life Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh And oh I must be a little mixed up when the world takes me It takes me incompatibly And I, will fight bad mix by getting by I will fight bad mix with fighting cries And every single day that I get away from you and our Break, my heart grows with every party And all the lovely voices How they are right on time My mind begins to shine They touch me baby Don’t it drive you crazy One, two, what you gonna do Got all the right things, they’re right in front of you And it’s the very same things that separate the youth That yield strength from old age where lies become the truth And my demons They, they like to show I just gotta keep them low I just gotta keep them low So girl, when you make our dinner plans You’ll hold me in higher demand

I've got ghosts in my chest screaming Kid you're out of time The skies are ignoring the seasons They've got colder intentions in mind In mind... The crows are condemned to the murder singing "We live our lives on the line! And we know your health is fading, we're waiting, Outside your windows at night" At night... I moved to Southern California To turn all my blues into gold But I couldn't keep up with all of the motions So I took the train alone All alone... I never asked for these twelve hour friendships They're draining my arms in the night And these birds out my window they're creeping, they're creeping, Singing all the while... "On the line, on the line, we live our lives, on the line On the line, on the line, we live our lives, on the line"

Mistakes! 03:35
Mistakes find me with some credit New friends killing all the negative And I’ve got none, I’m stable Oh Mom, wishing I could say it But you gotta go and listen to my every word I love you And if this feeling stays, Stop the “if’s” I want it every single day I’ll find my crew, but where are Ricky and Paul? I gotta say that the crew... We’re missing you New friends, I call em’ again And the company comes through You’re crushing my expectations And there’s something said about being nice A sweet, sweet girl has come To rotate the world, and slow down my whirl And if this feeling stays I will keep it 'til it burns out like a flame But I bet you would come round, and light up my night But don’t leave or I’m dead Can we make some plans? Oh if this feeling stays I’ll keep it with a smile on my face So put all your money on me Cause I’m doing the things I’m doing the things I’m doing the things Yeah I’m doing the things Mistakes, find me on a ferris wheel, Oh shit, what the fuck? Didn’t you say that you were... Yeah there’s something said about being nice A sweet, sweet girl has come And fixed up my whirl And tilted my axis And if this feeling stays I will keep it til’ it burns out like a flame But I bet you would come round And light up my night But don’t leave or I’m dead We can make some plans Oh if this feeling stays I’ll fight it if it’s leading me away From kindness, and trying To court all the girls That I think have good taste Or just taste good Or just taste good Yeah you just taste good

Astronauts 05:08
My Thursday starts out with me alone, again And if I had my way, we'd be in love I look right back on it I think if had twice the brain I'd solve it But now I'm left dissecting half I'm in the darkest places And all I really want is familiar faces So I look to the sky for answers And no one answers I look to the sky to check the rafters To check the rafters I walk an empty street, just me I pray for shadows please, company My only friend, on my side I've come to conclusions And in the end all I show are contusions So I will rest, my doctor says I'll end in affluence My injuries heal into congruence So I look to the sky for answers, oh an answer And mister sky breathes love In myself so I can make it through the day Rise above the blackend And fly above the sidewalks And we'll forget the madness as we fly High beyond it each new day Cast the rockets off Cause we're the astronauts

I took a plane Over the sea to fine I don't need anything Beleaguered by the synapse and sighs The bursts blasts our ears From the break and the wake of relationships Complications, oh what a time All the love in my life is dying And all my trust It goes with showing That nothing's golden Our bonds our stolen away Drifting away with the waves The burst blasts our ears From the break and the wake of relationships Constellations fade in the sky Cause the love in my life Is dead
7.
The civil war has broken out in me And now I must choose a side I found that Cali's divided Into a wicked north and a south piece And how I'd like to reside And fight for southern's side (With all the lovely sunlight) Now with that all clear I'll wrap up here I just need motivation To separate me from the terrible things around here And I'm glad I'm alive Cause all my friends know This town could suck the life out of me It thins out my blood And beats up my head So I will try out another instead I migrate and think the birds are so damn blessed To change their home as they please And come and go with the seasons (With all the lovely sunlight) Now with that all clear I'll wrap up here I just need proper notice to such good employment And I'll just hit the road Through the mountain side In the mid-day I drive And I'm just glad I'm alive Cause all my friends know This town could suck the life out of me It thins out my blood And beats up my head So I will try out another instead And you, my baby you do You seemed to get me And I thought I got you too But you got me to move And now I'm here alone You go and do it on your own But I'm not standing here alone You go and do it on your own But I'm not standing here alone, no And I'm just glad I'm alive Cause all my friends know This town could suck the life out of me It thins out my blood And beats up my head So I will try out another instead

Halloween 03:20
I sneak around in my old home town It's colder than I remember in November But nothing can be worse than last year at this time I'm just happy to be with all my friends I wrote you a letter last night to say it's over And the worst part is I don't think that you'll mind And there's so many girls in this town who I don't want to see But there's one sea that I would kill to cross tonight Where was I when you were born? Where was I when you first came to this city? Where were you when they told you for the first time? Where were you when you found out that I was dead? ...but I'm not dead I wrote you a letter last night to say it's over And the worst part is I don't think that you'll care And there's so many girls in this town who I don't want to see But there's one sea that I would cross but I don't dare (ohh la la) If you could save me for your rainy days Just keep me with you always I'm not asking of you anything Just to keep my with you always You were mine and I was yours One week baby that's all we'll ever know You never know... I'll chase the shots with a lonely kiss I'll go to bed with someone who I don't know You'd never know I wrote you a letter last night to say it's over And the worst part is I don't think that you'll mind And there's so many girls in this town who I don't want to see But there's one sea that I would kill to cross tonight

I don't even know you You've become a stranger The salt in my eyes And the bottom of my drink Left me for another Found a new lover You know I'll make a scene But it ends the same You let me know That you had let me go When you took my money Down to Mexico When you find a new man Be sure to tell him You're gonna up and run With his love someday
10.
Oh my life is like this story world Where I fight the thought to have a girl And I'd like to get through this sentence to finish the chapter Cause the next is blacker (Whoa, oh) If I was a book maybe then you'd look, whoa Because you focus your eyes downwards all the time Please babe, my talking is supposed to get attention Please don't let this be the last time I've got to live it up with all the time... I get, we get, we get it, I get it (Whoa, oh) And I can't attach to the chances given It's just like I am icy-smitten, yeah Oh, yeah It's like adeptness glides right off me Sometimes I just gotta think I gotta think Let's say (It's such a damaged countdown) for a second maybe I am scared (The Summer ends some things) The Summer ends some things Cause I think (Even though I'm sun-kissed) With a love attaching onto me I can't attach to the chances given It's just like I am icy-smitten Like active learning's overridden I can't attach to the chances given (And I know that I will just love your taste) It's just like I am icy-smitten (Even more for the time and space...) Like active learning's overridden (...between)
11.
I'm sorting through the things I do When you're not here And this list is despicable My eyes are squares from a stagnant glare Of lamps so bright there's millions in hiding Behind the LCD of my friendly television And over there she's without a care Oh, how she needs to drink away her graveness From the stress of college, and knowledge, and flawlessness I met you there In the Autumn air at half past five The sun was sinking in the sky Through old shadows and the store front glow Do you feel like I do? Are you talking to a stranger? With all the weight of eyes and a love that we had left behind I over sleep It just gets me closer to Saturday She's coming back Saturday You see I write the songs sometimes to pass all the tasteless time The senseless kiss and love just are missing from a wallowed, hollowed boy All the testing brings an echo (An echo) I'm looking for the things that I miss the most Way on past the hills and down those country roads Some would say I'm crazy to try and stop the world Sing it to me like an echo (An echo) This place is small and damn to big for me All alone I swear the walls they talk to me Creak uneasily and echo (An echo) You'll never find your future in the past Keep me breathing while the years go stumbling past Ringing through me like an echo (An echo)
