I Want To Save You
Standing on the edge of morning
Scent of sex and New Found Glory
Playing as she's pulling back her hair
She drives away she's feeling worthless
Used again but nothings different
She'd stay the night but knows he doesn't care
Home by three to deafening quiet
The porch lights off guess they forgot it
She'd cry herself to sleep but she don't dare
And she wants to be a model
She wants to hear she's beautiful
She's beautiful
I want to save you
I want to save you
I need you, save me too
I want to save you
Dressed by dawn and out the door
No lights she memorized the floor
So she could leave without being detected
She works til three it's uniform
She dreams that he'll come by the store
She prays for days when boys mean she's protected
And she wants someone to see her
She needs to hear she's beautiful
She's beautiful
I want to save you
I want to save you
I need you, save me too
I want to save you
And she won't sleep
She won't sleep
And She won't sleep at all
I want to save you
I want to save you
I need you, save me too
I want to save you
Let me save you
Let me save you
Let me save you
Let me save you
Punk Rock Princess
Maybe when the room is empty
Maybe when the bottle's full
Maybe when the door gets broke down love can break in
Maybe when I'm done with thinking
Maybe you can think me whole
Maybe when I'm done with endings this can begin
This can begin
This can begin
If you could be my Punk Rock Princess
I would be your Garage Band King
You could tell me why you just don't fit in
And how your gonna be something
Maybe when your hair gets darker
Maybe when your eyes get wide
Maybe when the walls are smaller there will be more space
Maybe when I'm not so tired
Maybe you can step inside
Maybe when I look for things that I can't replace
I can't replace
I can't replace
If you could be my Punk Rock Princess
I would be your Garage Band King
You could tell me why you just don't fit in
And how your gonna be something
If I could be your first real heartache
I would do it all over again
If you could be my Punk Rock Princess
I will be your Heroin
I never thought you'd last
I never dreamed you would
You watched your life go past
You wonder if you should
If you should be my Punk Rock Princess
So I would be your Garage Band King
You could tell me why you just don't fit in
And how your gonna be something
If I could be your first real heartache
I would do it over again
If you could be my Punk Rock Princess
I would be your Heroin
Whoa Ohhhh, you know, you only burn my bridges
Whoa Ohhhh, you know, you just can't let it sink in
You could be my Heroin
You could be my Heroin
I Woke Up In A Car
I woke up in New York City
From my sleep behind the wheel
Caught a train to Poughkeepsie
And time stood still
She wrote me a letter from San Diego
To qualify her luck
These flights connect through Arizona
But I think I'll stay stuck
So here I am
Here I am
Well, I woke up in a car
I traced away the fog
So I could see the Mississippi on her knees
I've never been so lost
I've never felt so much at home
Please write my folks and throw away my keys
I woke up in a car
I woke up in a car
I met a girl who kept tattoos
For homes that she had loved
If I were her I'd paint my body
Til all my skin was gone
She wrote me a letter
As we passed through Rockford
She said she wont forget
Maybe I do maybe I don't
But I know I haven't yet
So here I am
Here I am
Well, I woke up in a car
I traced away the fog
So I could see the Mississippi on her knees
I've never been so lost
I've never felt so much at home
Please write my folks and throw away my keys
I woke up in a car
I woke up in a car
And maybe I could live forever
If not ever I had known
That you'd be waiting there whenever
I am all alone
but here I am
Well, I woke up in a car
I traced away the fog
So I could see the Mississippi on her knees
I've never been so lost
I've never felt so much at home
Please write my folks and throw away my keys
Well, I woke up in a car
I traced away the fog
So I could see the Mississippi on her knees
I've never been so lost
I've never felt so much at home
Please write my folks and throw away my keys
I woke up in a car
I woke up in a car
I woke up in a car
If You C Jordan
I have a story, a bitter anthem for everyone to hear
About this kid who just don't like me and that's a solid fact
They say he's hunting me and as you see I'm all swelled up with fear
Cause I can't get him off my back
If you see Jordan
If you see Jordan
He makes me sick
He makes me sick
High school's over
High school's over
And you still won't quit
You tried to fight me down at Tyler's Beach
And man I think that's great
You nearly cried and said to yell at you like I do at all the girls
Then you drove home real quick
Did you make it in time to masturbate?
There's one too many of you in this world
If you see Jordan
If you see Jordan
He makes me sick
He makes me sick
High school's over
High school's over
And you still won't quit
You say its chivalry, well its jealousy that led us to this song
Won't play it often just at least until you're gone
You'll stop at nothing but the real thing and everything up to that's pretend
You tried to brainwash all my friends
If you see Jordan
If you see Jordan
He makes me sick
He makes me sick
High school's over
High school's over
And you still won't quit
Fuck you, Jordan
Fuck you, Jordan
You make me sick
You make me sick
High school's over
High school's over
I don't care if you dye your hair
You'll always be a little redhead bitch
The Astronaut
I've been sleeping with ghosts
I've been watching stars coming out of the sky
And I've been hoping and closed
To the space man movies I'd call my life
My life
And I've been climbing ladders through time
I've got tunnel vision but I'm doing fine
And I've been watching stars coming out of the wall
And maybe if I'm lucky I can catch them before you fall
And you are not alone
Calling out to the astronaut
I need some of what you've got
I need to be high
Crawling out of the world she brought
Calling out to the astronaut
I need to be high
And I've been holding this microphone
And I've been channeling but I think we're alone
And I've got platinum vision and a tin foil touch
I've got you to propel me
But I still need so much
Not to be alone
Calling out to the astronaut
I need some of what you've got
I need to be high
Crawling out of the world she brought
Calling out to the astronaut
I need to be high
And you are not alone
And you are not alone
And you are not alone
Calling out to the astronaut
I need some of what you've got
I need to be high
Crawling out of the world she brought
Calling out to the astronaut
I need to be high
Calling out to the astronaut
I need some of what you've got
I need to be high
Disappear in the world she brought
Calling out to the astronaut
I need to be high
And I've got you to propel me, but I still need so much
Hurricane
Shake down, you make me break, for goodness sake
I think I'm on the edge of something new with you
Shout out, don't drown the sound
I'll drown you out, you'll never scream so loud
As I want to scream with you
Standing there with your smile blinding your eyes from seeing
my face as I'm dying to figure out a girl
But she drifts so far away, I'm on her coast
So maybe I should stay and map around your world
So Don't Say, These currents are still killing me
And you can't explain
How the wind went and pulled me into your hurricane
Into your hurricane
Stand up don't make a sound, your ears might bleed
There's sweet fluorescent enemies that live inside of me
The world moves faster than I knew, not fast enough
To not creep up on you and the space we put between
So pull me under your weather patterns
Your cold fronts and the rain don't matter
Because a sun burns what I needed
So Don't Say, These currents are still killing me
And you can't explain
How the wind went and pulled you into the hurricane
Into the hurricane
You don't do it on purpose but you make me shake
Now I count the hours until you wake
With your babies breath
Breathe symphonies
Come on sweet catastrophe
Well maybe this time I can follow through
I can feel complete, stop paying dues
Stop the rain from falling
keep my ocean calm
This time I know nothings wrong
So Don't Say, These currents are still killing me
And you can't explain
How the wind went and pulled me in and no
You Don't Say, These currents are still killing me
And you can't explain
How the wind went and pulled me into your hurricane
Into your hurricane, into your hurricane
Cavanaugh Park
At Cavanaugh Park
Where I used to sit
All alone in the dark
And dream about things
That I cannot say
You always said destiny
Would blow me away
And nothings gonna blow me away
At Cavanaugh Park
Where you used to take me
To play in the sand
And said to me son
One day you'll be a man
And men can do terrible things
Yes they can
There was never any place
For someone like me
To be totally happy
I'm running out of clock
And that ain't a shock
Some things never do change
Never do change
At Cavanaugh Park
We used to get high
Watchin teams as they fought
They loved my friend Adam
But he always got caught
Man that kid made fucking up look cool
Aren't we all so cool now, No
There was never any place
For someone like me
To be totally happy
I'm running out of clock
And that ain't a shock
Some things never do change
Never do change
Never do change
Never do change
Never do change
At Cavanaugh Park
Where I used to think
That this life would be good
And I would do things
That I thought that I should
And no ones going to tear me down
There was never any place
For someone like me
To be totally happy
I'm running out of clock
And that ain't a shock
Some things never do change
There was never any place
For someone like me
To be totally happy
I'm running out of clock
And that ain't a shock
Some things never do change
Never do change
Never do change
Never do change
Never do change
Fall
I close my eyes
Thought I was lost but I was stranded
I go outside
To my surprise the sky had landed
I thought it made more sense
If I could only keep you guessing
I was a fool to think
That I should stop you from undressing
Now I'm believing all the words you say
That I can't say back to you
To you
So I fall
I don't want to feel this small
You know I just can't handle this
Handle this at all
And I'll just fall
I let my heartbeat drop
I falter as the music stops
And you watch me as I stall
And wonder when I fall
I kiss your neck
I feel you breathing on my shoulder
Still I'm perfect
It must be you cause now it's over
I was so close
That was the most that I have ever been through
Now old cassettes and cigarettes
Will be the ones to save you
How can you ask for me to stay
When all you ever do is go?
Just go
So I fall
I don't wanna feel this small
You know I just can't handle this
Handle this at all
So I fall
I let my heartbeat drop
I falter as the music stops
And you watch me as I stall
wonder when I
Go on
You've kept me waiting
Go on
And watch me as I fall
I don't want to feel this small
You know I just can't handle this
Handle this at all
And so I fall
I let my heartbeat drop
I falter as the music stops
And you watch me as I stall
And wonder when I
Straw Dog
Staring into the intersection
She thinks that she can fly and she might
Holding on in a new direction
She's gonna try it tonight
The closer I get to feeling
The further that I'm feeling from alright
The more I step into the sun
The more I step out of the light
Jessica is covered in a blanket
On a sunday porch
Thinking on the weekends
She would party in the city
She doesn't have a flame
She'd prefer to burn out like a torch
If she gets nowhere in life
At least she knows she's pretty
She says
Hey now The straw dog's out in the street
Hey now there's chemicals in the clouds
Hey now they're calling all the police
But they wont get to us anyhow
The moon is shining now
And shadows are what's left of all the noise
Simple silhouettes and cut outs
As if we had a choice
He listens closely now
Swears that he can hear a voice that's calling him
And saying
Hey now the straw dog's out in the street
Hey now there's chemicals in the clouds
Hey now they're calling all the police
But they wont get to us anyhow, No
What does it take to be a super hero in my world
Make no mistake that these villains always get the girl
We can escape and then we'll skate away from all of this
And no one ever does
But she's saying
Hey now the straw dog's out in the street
Hey now there's chemicals in the clouds
Hey now they're calling all the police
But they wont get to us
No, they'll never get to us
Hey now the straw dog's out in the street
Hey now there's chemicals in the clouds
They're calling all the police
But they wont get to us
Na na na na na na na na now
Good News
She's trapped inside her room
With reruns on the screen
Old books and movies
But she can't stop thinking
I'm torn between myself
My radio my friends
I want to write this one off over and over and over again
And then she looked at me to scream
My castles are falling
But I can't look into the street
Without everything changing
I want to read good news, good news
I want to be innocent again
I want to read good news, good news
But nothing good is happening
She waits all day
She stands a stranger in her skin
She moves the science with her hands
She lines the walls
With every paper she can see
These words consume her
But they never set her free
And then she looked at me to scream
My castles are falling
But I can't look into the street
Without everything changing
I want to read good news, good news
I want to be innocent again
I want to read good news, good news
But nothing good is happening
But nothing good is happening
But nothing good is happening
I want to read good news, good news
I want to be a little kid again
I want to read good news, good news
But nothing good is happening
I want to read good news
I want to go to sleep at night again
I want to read good news, good news
But nothing good is happening
But nothing good is happening
But nothing good is happening
Drunk Girl
I kissed a drunk girl
I kissed a drunk girl, yes I did
Kissed a drunk girl on the lips
I let my guard down
How could I have been so dumb?
Her eyes were open
I know I am not the one
I know I am not the one
I know I am not the one
I kissed a drunk girl
Why do I do these things I do to myself?
I kissed a drunk girl
And now I'm sure I could have been anybody else
I went to her house
And everybody there was gone
Her little cousin just passed out on the lawn
We walked to my car
She mouthed "Is everything ok?"
She leaned in slowly
So now I can say
I kissed a drunk girl
Why do I do these things I do to myself?
I kissed a drunk girl
And now I'm sure I could have been anybody else
I pulled away
I didn't think it would be right
I said "Let's save this for another night"
And she said "No, no, no I know that everything's gonna be just fine"
How could I do this when I want her to be all mine?
I kissed a drunk girl
Why do I do these things I do to myself?
I kissed a drunk girl
And now I'm sure I could have been anybody else
I know you don't care about me
I'm sure when all is said and done
And I go home feeling lonely
You will have had your fun
Do you even remember?
I kissed a drunk girl
Why do I do these things I do to myself?
I kissed a drunk girl
And now I'm sure I could have been anybody else
Not What It Seems
A long day
If ever these questions were yours what would you say?
I dont know
But I'm writing the answers on cheap paper napkins
And now he's turning off
Now she's shutting down
No, its not what it seems
Nothings the same when you give it away
No, its not what it seems
It's just what you think it is
And these fights
They climb through my veins like its mercury rising
And these nights
I seem to remember a home that was better
And now he's turning off
Now she's shutting down
No, its not what it seems
Nothings the same when you give it away
No, its not what it seems
It's just what you think it is
Now he's turning off
This family's breaking down
No, its not what it seems
Nothings the same when you give it away
No, its not what it seems
It's just what you think it is
It's just what you think it is
No, its not what it seems
Nothings the same when you give it away
No, its not what it seems
It's just what you think it is
It's just what you think it is
It's just what you think it is
What you think it is
You're Gone
Taking steps back through the words I should've said to you
They all got lost, you went away
Well I feel sick, and you just don't care anymore, anymore
Hours to be with you
Minutes of me in you
And I cant feel this happening
So tie my hands back, and make me feel you coming down
I'm coming down
And you don't care
Your face is on a billboard
And you're everywhere
You don't care much for interviews
You're gone, you're gone, you're gone, you're gone
You're gone, you're gone, you're gone, you've gone, away
If you don't like being hurt then please don't stay
It's hard to wave goodbye
From airplanes when I
Just don't think that you can see
I taper off and say it's never worth the pain
Sometimes it is
And you don't care
Your face is on a billboard
And you're everywhere
You don't care much for interviews
You're gone, you're gone, you're gone, you're gone
You're gone, you're gone, you're gone, you've gone, away
If you don't like being hurt then please don't stay
If you don't like being hurt then please don't stay
God I wish that I could make this right
I wish that there was something worth the time
For her to give to me
A phone call from L.A. is my present
There's nothing left for me to give
I wish I could
And I know that I should
But you know I know, I won't
And you don't care
Your face is on a billboard
And you're everywhere
You don't care much for interviews
You're gone, you're gone, you're gone, you're gone
You're gone, you're gone, you're gone, you've gone, away
If you don't like being hurt then please don't stay
If you don't like being hurt then get away
If you don't like being hurt then please don't stay
Globes & Maps
Light breaks underneath a heavy door
And I try to keep myself awake
Fall all around us on our hotel floor
And you think that you've made a mistake
And there's a pain in my stomach from another sleepless binge
And I struggled to get myself up again
I wanna hang onto something
That won't break away or fall apart
Like the pieces of my heart
And globes and maps are all around me now
I wanna feel you breathe me
Globes and maps I see surround you here
Why won't you believe me?
Globes and maps they charter your way back home
Do you wanna leave or somethin?
And dreams came around you in a hazy rain
You opened your mouth wide to feel them fall
And I write a letter, from a one-way train
But I don't think you'll read it at all
And globes and maps are all around me now
I wanna feel you breathe me
Globes and maps I see surround you here
Why won't you believe me?
Globes and maps they charter your way back home
Do you wanna leave or somethin?
And I can't take this anymore
Well I know that I can't take this anymore
I can't take this anymore
'cause I know someday I'll see you walk out that door
And globes and maps are all around me now
I wanna feel you breathe me
Globes and maps I see surround you here
Why won't you believe me?
Globes and maps they charter your way back home
So do you wanna leave? do you wanna leave?
Globes and maps they charter your way back home
Do you wanna leave or somethin?
