au revoir (adios)

• You know what I think's really sad / I know how really sad you are / I'm probably gonna leave real soon / Just wanted to let you know / Before I say / Au revoir / Au revoir / You probably don't even know what that means
• She says that it's French / "I know what it means / You don't have to be so mean / If you wanna leave / Why don't you go" / Right before she walks away / I'm pretty sure I hear her say / "Adios / Adios I bet you think I don't know what that means"

skeleton

• I walk around like a skeleton last night / Trying to find my way home / This white frame it’s all that I’ve got left / Cause not even you could chew through my bones / I’ve got very strong bones
• I walk around like a skeleton last night / Confused and alone / Who was I kidding I cant get past you, / You are the cops, you are my student loans / You are a head shaped hole / In a sheet rock wall / You are the pain I feel / You are the stud in the wall / Better than nothing at all
• And I got so stoned / I fell asleep in the front seat / I never sleep in the front seat / I’m too tall
• Come on, baby, calm me down / You’re the only one who knows how
• Reunited and it feels so good, / It’s so much better than I thought it would. / Cause I feel fucked, but in a good way. / I start to cough, taste the butane. / And I can tell that he’s asking her Yes or No questions / By the way she’s shaking her head / From left to right, then up and down, / Then left to right again.
• I got miles to go / Till I ever get home / But the sound of your laugh / And your voice on the phone / Makes me feel like I am already there

i swear to god the devil made me do it

• Space age crystals / I've been growing 'em since I was a kid / Like my mother plays the lottery / 'Til I get rich some other way or she wins it
• And there is someone out there just like me probably keeping to themselves / I know CPR, I know mouth-to-mouth / When your legs give in and your lungs give out / I will blow air into your open mouth / Baby, I can spit this game all day
• I swear to god the devil made me do it / It's a shame the bad habits are the hardest ones to break / Our love's a dangerous, dangerous game / One that I am definitely losing, cannot walk away
• I wanna make tear-jerking-shower-curtain-camera's-running genius / I wanna make them think they're seeing something they ain't never seen before / But I am full of shit, I'm a plagiarist / As a liar, I'm a ten / I just want this to mean something to anyone even if they don't know who I am / I am, I am, I am

twin sized mattress

• This is for the lions living in the wiry broke down frames of my friends bodies / When the flood water comes, it ain't gonna be clear. / It's gonna look like mud / But I will help you swim / I will help you swim / I'm gonna help you swim
• This is for the snakes and the people they bite / For the friends I've made; for the sleepless nights / For the warning signs I've completely ignored / There's an amount to take, reasons to take more / It's no big surprise you turned out this way / When they close their eyes and prayed you would change / And they cut your hair, and sent you away / You stopped by my house the night you escaped / With tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay / You said, "Hey man, I love you but no fucking way"
• I'm sure that we could find something for you to do on stage / Maybe shake a tambourine or when I sing, you sing harmonies
• This is for the lake that me and my friends swim in, naked and dumb on a drunken night / And it should've felt good but I can hear the Jaws theme song on repeat in the back of my mind / Make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face / There are lessons to be learned, consequences for all the stupid things I say / And it is no big surprise you turned out this way / The spark in your eyes, The look on your face / I will not be late
• I wanna contribute to the chaos / I don't wanna watch and then complain / 'Cause I am through finding blame / That is the decision that I have made
• She hopes I'm cursed forever to / Sleep on a twin-sized mattress / In somebody's attic or basement my whole life / Never graduating up in size to add another / And my nightmares will have nightmares every night / Oh, every night. Every night

peach

• You are my peach, you are my plum / You are my earth, you are my sun / I love your fingers, I love your toes / The back of your head, the tip of your nose
• And you are the reason I'm smiling when there is nothing to smile about / Yeah, you are the reason I'm smiling when there is nothing to smile about
• One day you will find someone who will love you like you deserve / But tonight I'm the only one left and I'm betting it's a fact that you will never learn / Once I sink my teeth, your skin's not so tough

I'll leave a tiny cut, there will be a lot of blood / But once you wipe it up you will feel better about our entire situation

• You are my light, no need to hide / You are my clock, keep me on time / You are my angel, you are my crime / I'll serve this sentence the rest of my life
• I do things wrong, you thought I might / You say I'm gonna miss you when you leave and you are probably right / But I'm just as stoned, I don't wanna fight / You say I should think before I talk, you say I shouldn't think about my life / Cause once I finally hit the ground, who's gonna drag me into the light? / It's just so hard to see tomorrow past tonight, woah

santa monica

• Sometimes I cry when I get sad / I guess it's true what they say / Emotional baby boy, emotional man
• I wish we were forever lying on the Santa Monica beach / Drinking Tecate 24oz underneath the stars / Being the superior couple, loving who I am cause what we are / I wanna confess it in a whisper that's just loud enough to make out / I want you to listen from the kitchen to me confessing on the couch / I wanna be stronger than your dad was for your mom
• Where I'm standing there is a cool, cool breeze / Heavenly bodies make the devil a little uncomfortable / I guess there are some things I was just born to be / Emotional baby boy, emotional man
• It's such a big city / I feel so stupid thinking I might see you if I wander around / If I do the things we used to do together and we were on the same level / You'd be doing them as well / There's something about drowning I can't shake / Or someone dying anyway

the feud

• I was so bored before I met you / But then I met you and everything changed / And now it seems I could be amused at the littlest things / If I told my truth
• She says you, you should admit it / She know I, I probably won't / That he's the sound you want now / And I’m just the noise you don't / And I’m just saying it's a bummer, man / I’m sorry for interrupting / I guess I’ll go
• You were my girl you were my baby / You were my homemade mashed potatoes, biscuits, and gravy / You were too good, I should have known / You were a prize my hands could never hold
• And she says “tell me what I need to hear, what I wanna hear or else” / I call her baby, I ask her to sit down, / Ask her to sit down and allow me to try to explain myself
• She says you, you, you / You should probably admit it, probably admit it / but I, I, I, I, I probably won't, probably won't, probably won't / That he, he, he, he's the sound you want now, the sound you want now / And I, I, I, I’m the noise you don't, the noise you don't
• And I’m just saying it's a bummer, man / I’m sorry for interrupting / I guess I’ll go

funny you should ask

• The good thing about this cast is I can still hold a knife / So if you ever twist my arm again I'll be sure to put up a fight / You see I just don't wanna do the things that you want me to do / But I'm a sucker, so I do them cause I am still in love with you
• She said / "Honey, y'gotta learn that love is simple just like mud. / If you play the dirt, then I'll play the water. All we gotta do is touch"
• Cause I was young, I thought I didn't have to care about anything / But I'm older now and know that I should
• And it's freezing / And I am watching you shovel snow off a driveway / Across from my parent's home / Now it's summer (now it's summer) / And you are laying out on your lawn / You look so sexy, Chelsea, with your polka dot bikini on
• Come on, Chelsea, speak a little French to me / Heard you spent two whole semesters drinking win / While I was stuck in Jersey trying to save some money / I guess I'm just another thing you left behind
• But you were young, you thought you didn't have to care about anyone / But you're older now and wish that you could
• 1, 2, 3! Everyone say cheese! / Thought you got the best of me / Turns out it was a video / Me and my best friend, me and my cousins / Sitting there smiling / Turns out it was a video
• It's funny you should ask / Cause I don't remember / It's funny you should ask / I coulda been a contender / It's funny you should ask / No I will not surrender / It's funny you should ask / Cause I don't remember

tattooed tears

• You should know / That you don't kick if you don't have to. / All's fair in love and war, / I know. Don't get me wrong.
• But if you listen to your heart, / It may mislead you. / Lord, I should know. / I have felt lost for so long.
• You had me go from what I thought was sliding carefully to seriously slipping out of control.
• And I'm gonna have to learn / That this love will never be convenient. / I'm gonna have to learn / That this love will never be convenient.
• It's not like a movie when we kiss. / There'll never be no music when we kiss.
• I hear her whisper, / "All I want is to want nothing." / The room is dark, / And I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm asleep.
• She says, "It just don't make no sense. / Why can't it work out in my head? / Why I can't be happy? / There's definitely reasons I should be."
• She says, "And I, for one, will not be held / Responsible for someone else. / I gotta go."
• Let's talk about how it fell on my shoulders as it came pouring out my ears. / Let's talk about the face of our love and how it might look with the addition of tattooed tears.
• Let's talk about the torn-up skin on my fingers right where it meets my fingernails. / Let's talk about how what you call sliding carefully is seriously slipping out of control.

lone star

• Goodbye future, once so bright, meet my pregnant girlfriend / Watch my bank account run dry, 437 dollars spent / To put things back to the way they used to be / Still, I woulda spent so much more / But 437 dollars somehow shakes all responsibility / But it's not easy
• She looks me dead in the eyes and says "hey Brian / If you still believe in the Lord above, / Get on your hands and knees and pray for us."
• The past few months were pretty rough / A couple times, wished we both were dead / I never cried like that before, / I thought my eyes would pop out of my head / Not just preparing for nightmares

Years and years I do suppose / Nothing feels alright now / The length of my hair or the fit of my clothes / I'm crying like a baby, soft and nothing

• 'Cause I can leave so what now what, so where do I go / 'Cause I could imagine myself throwing all my clothes / Inside a suitcase without bothering to fold them

backflip

• I don't see me mad at situations, I see me turn and walk away / I see a tattoo on my right thigh that I will probably regret one day / Yeah, I will probably regret one day / But now, I am happy to be bonding in a kitchen with my friends / A spool of thread, a few more good vibes, a safety pin and a ballpoint pen
• But there are answers here, they're just harder to figure out / Since all your questions got harder to dodge and dip around / And there is nothing wrong with my lifestyle / No matter how many times I tell myself to breathe in, hold it, hold it, now let it out, now let it out
• One day I will realize I don't need this because it is just not who I am / Until that day comes, I'll keep my eyes closed, and I will try to feel all of the effects / Yeah, I will try to feel all of the effects / And now I am talking way too fast and a little bit louder than I should, / Trying to say thank you for understanding my side of the story the best that you could / My side of the story the best that you could
• And this is how the cool boyfriend sits in the passenger seat of his girlfriend's car / He's lookin' at me, I wish the light would turn green, set me free, oh set me free, oh set me / Teach my rolling veins where there's a will, there is a way / Just cut me open, let me drain, oh let me drain, oh let me drain, oh let me
• I'll move to Florida, and I'll buy a brand new pick-up truck / And I'll tint all the windows including the driver's side / Now you can't see me, so you can't touch me / When I sit at the red light and watch your boyfriend wonder if I'm inside / If I am dead inside

everything i own

• Sometimes you get sad when we're together / Because you're not sure if you'll miss me when I'm gone / Just try to appreciate what you got while you got it / So if it ever goes away, you can say you enjoyed it while it lasted / Sometimes I don't feel like singing, I don't really like these songs / Sometimes I don't feel like dancing, DJ please don't turn the beat on / Let's keep it quiet, keep me honest, keep me true / Keep me in love; keep me believing it's with you
• But who's gonna push my wheelchair around when I get sick? / God forbid I ever stop feeling sorry for myself, for being selfish / This is not the way I plan on living for the rest of my life / But for right now, it gets me by, it gets me by
• It's reached the point in the night where I need to decide / Whether I'm gonna fall asleep or watch the sunrise / We are both into letting this develop / But the thought of starting over always sounded so much better / But I won't stop this, and you won't stop this / It'll probably go further than either of us wanted / And it all comes down to the fact that I don't care to / Sacrifice a good time 'cause someone says I have to / Next thing that I know, I am removing all my clothes / And you are dancing around the room to some song on the radio / You say I deserve it, all that is coming, the good and the bad bad, bad bad / I don't regret it, how could I? You were the best I ever had / I ever had, I ever had, I ever had, I ever
