When we were young

Don't you worry about a thing, don't you take it to heart the things I said back then.  I called you in hopes we could still be friends, please don't tear me apart for the things i did back then.

'Cause we were young and fucking up. We were young and we were dumb and we thought that we were in love. Than I went to far, that night in your car, I had too much to say and I pushed you away and I didn't want it to end like this.

 So how about one last kiss? One last conversation, one last chance to reminisce about our teenage explorations and all the things we will miss. But really I'll just miss you. Yeah, really I'll just miss you. Yeah, you know I'm gonna miss you.

You called me finally and said you had time. We could go to the lake, skip stones and talk for awhile. I ran there but walked down that dirt road. I saw you sitting on that old boat where we used to kiss and watch fireworks explode. 

And you know I got what I wanted, but actually we didn't kiss.  But I got some things off my chest and it seems like we might even speak again, maybe even become friends again. Like when we were young...

Time To Kill

You ran out of the house you told me you've lived in forever, and you, you were so new I needed to know you much better. So I asked you questions and you gave me answers. I always talk too much in the company of strangers, and I'm speaking to you and I'm interested and thats new to me so you're in for this, oh yeah you are.

So what about today? What about tonight? You could tell me anything, I want to know about your life. Yeah, what about today? What about tommorow? If you had time to kill what would you want to do?

You took your red flip-flops off and sunk your feet deep in the water. And I, I stood at the dock and I noticed the ink on your shoulder. So you asked me questions and I gave you answers. I was so suprised how honest that I was with talking to you and being interested and thats new to me so your in for this, oh yeah you are.

And you talk fast, And I move slow and somewhere inbetween there were some things you let me know. You said you lost a feeling you wanted to have again but you really werent sure when it would happen.

Stay Crazy

You were outside picking flowers at midnight under showers with a flashlight that was so dim, I didn't know how you could see the beauty in them.

And I watched you from my window. Yeah I saw you, bare feet in the grass. And I thought about how much longer your hair looked wet, and I wondered how long life will last.

And I watched you from my window. I thought about the time you used your own blood to paint that bird. You said it needed more color a little more depth and that was just something I didnt get, but for you babe I'd believe your every word.

But dont you want to come inside and show me what you found? Dont you want to come inside? If you stay crazy baby, you know I'll stick around.

Amy

Amy, she wakes up in the morning and stares straight up at the ceiling. Does she think she made a mistake last night? Yeah last night she was screaming "lets rock you losers" and drinking way too much booze and somehow we made it back here.

But oh, it was new years. And we drank those beers, and we let our fears go. Last night we were lovers I had a friend like no other but in the morning she was someone I didn't know.

Yeah last night, she was a drunken little princess wasted in a pink dress with a flask and some thoughts to share. Her and I, we danced between the hipsters and made fun of their haircuts and stumbled out into the night.

 Well, Amy I think sometimes I black out when I drink but right now you look good to me. Yeah Amy I think sometimes I drink till I get sick but last night you meant everything.

Do you lie?

Looking out the window of a train you left yesterday. Wondering what to say when those words they come out of her face. Do you lie, do you lie? like you've done so many times? Do you do just what you say you'd do and let her down for one last time.  I know she doesn't want to hear about the stupid things you've done, like all the booze and girls and drugs you did, you said was so much fun.  But nows your time to break her heart, to let her know that you are scum but let her down easy.

Looking out the window of a bar somewhere in chicago with no worries at all except the long ride back tommorow. Its crazy how you could ruin someones year and not even really care not even really feel bad for doing it.

And I know she is sad because she calls me on the phone and she doesn't say a word. Yeah I know she is sad because she hasn't eaten or even gone to work. And I just keep saying hold on. Yeah I just keep saying hold on, but not to him.

Everyone Dies

Everyone dies and its been hard on me my whole life. Has is been hard on you? Could you tell me true? I need someone to talk to.

I want to tell you about growing up about losing someone that you love so much. About moments in time I've tried to erase from my mind but they keep coming back. I want to tell you about that hot summer day when the ambulance came and it took her away. About the look on his face when he walked through the door and he spoke those words that killed us all.

And there's pictures at Grandmas that I look at sometimes to remind me of things I've forgotten. And I can't hear her voice in my head anymore there is nothing, only silence.

No Light

So lets go out tonight. there is no light, its just you and I. And I'll stare into your cigarette and wonder where the moon went.

And you didn't know and you took it kind of hard, you did. When I told you what I lost when I was a kid. With a light of your smoke and a turn of your head, a whisper of truth on a night thats so dim.

And there were years I didn't say anything about it. So many conversations I had to avoid. But now that I told you all about it, I don't want you to feel bad for me or treat me differently at all.  You touched your hand to your face and you put your head down. Me I turned the radio loud. Than I looked at you and while you were looking up you asked why you didn't know about this until now.

But someone told me, yeah someone once said "Sometimes its easier to deal with things unspoken." And I'm sorry it took so long to tell you. I guess the weight it got so heavy I just let it go. Yeah I just let go.

I'm here

You look sad, you really do. And I'll go crazy if it helps to make you feel good. And I hope it works because you've been through the worst and if I make you smile then I did what I needed to. Things in life they change when your hit by so much pain, it makes you think about the things you will miss and those nights you'll lie awake. Yeah I've been there before in a situation different from yours, but I just want to say I'm here if you need me. 

Love what lies

Wait for me in the heat, let your skin soak, soak right through your sheets. Let the wind from your fan and the smoke in your hand hit your face. And will you think of me? And I'll be there by 4 a.m, I'm in pennsylvania but on the other end. And if there was a time in my life when I thought things were right, here I am.

Somewhere along route 80 I realized you saved me. A sudden spark to light a lonely night. Somewhere along route 80 I realized you saved me. And I want to thank you for bringing me back to life.

Wait for me on that quilt. The one your grandma she knitted for you, such a long time ago and you hold it so close cause you miss her, you really do. And I'll be there by 4 a.m, I'm in pennsylvania but on the other end. And if there was a time in my life when I thought things were right, here I am.

So love what breathes and love what lies. Love what lives then one day dies. And love me now, because nows the time, we're still young we're still alive.

Through your teeth

Dont you want to see me in the morning? Dont you want to see me in the day? Dont you want to see me in the night, yeah every night. I want to see you that way.

So C'mon, C'mon, C'mon, C'mon baby I want you to stay. C'mon, C'mon, C'mon, C'mon honey. I know theres a way. And you said you had things to do and I thought you were lying through your teeth. And maybe its not you, maybe its me and all my insecurities. Because you don't know that when you go that I am painfully alone. You don't know because you go and thats the problem. I want to see you, I want to see you.....
