Bussy 04:46

You asked if you could phone me tonight I said I'd give you a ring As soon as I walked out the door I stood under hazy downtown lights As you spilled your guts into the receiver This is the greatest city in the world The trash piles up in the drain I take the next bus to your house You lay your head against my chest Do you want to put things back together, Or just watch them fall apart? Cuz if you want to go from where we left off, Honey we'll re-break each other's hearts So if you need me, darling You can let me know And I will be there to help you live But if you want to love me I will tell you no I have got no more love to give We sat in silence on your couch We didn't have to talk to listen You said you want to work things out Why doesn't this feel any different? These are the best years of our lives We see the scars through rosy glasses You say you want to make things right I'm tired of being so fucking passive Do you want to put things back together, Or just watch them fall apart? Cuz if you want to go from where we left off, Honey we'll re-break each other's hearts So if you need me, darling You can let me know And I will be there to help you live But if you want to love me I will tell you no I have got no more love to give

I don't wanna dance tonight I'm not feeling alright You're the one that I'm here for But you're sat drinking by the door We both barely know the one guy here Who told us to come over Now he's doing blow and I don't feel Like waking up hungover So we should go back to my place And let these memories fade away We've got the same thing to say But neither of us wanna give it away Our eyes meet across the room And I know that I've gotta ask you soon If you wanna jack a car And catch a ride into the night Or if you wanna fall asleep with the windows down And me right there beside you We could watch a movie or just Make out in my bed for hours The taste of beer's stuck in my mouth And your lips look a little less sour I know time is running out So let me know if you're thinking Exactly what I'm thinking about

Darling 03:30
lyrics
buy track
It started gettin dark today early on the walk home So we watched the clouds go From grey to blue We stepped around the puddles draining into the dirt path I stopped when I looked back Face to face with you We're just Sittin on the pier and skippin stones in the river Freezin on the beach and taking polaroid pictures Under an umbrella in the pouring rain Lookin for excuses not to go home again Hanging up old photos on your bedroom wall Wonder if there's any better reason at all To be anywhere else in the world There's something I forgot to say, girl Darling Some part of me is falling Falling hard for you And somewhere The perfect words are out there So I can tell the truth What more can I do? I waited for you as the sun rose over the tree line So cold but I'd be fine As soon as you're there You said we had a lot of time so we walked a bit farther Started gettin darker Earlier than before You took me by the hand and led me under the boardwalk We both took our clothes off And held each other close You whispered in my ear and said in so many ways that you loved me I stopped feeling ugly I had a reason to live, I had a reason to live Darling Some part of me is falling Falling hard for you And somewhere The perfect words are out there So I can tell the truth What more can I do? And if I drive you home Will I spend the night alone? Or will I wake up with a note beside my bed Sayin "if you're feeling lonely I'm your one and only. If you need a place to rest your head Save what's been said..." Darling I'm falling hard For you

PunK DreamZ 02:28
lyrics

Got a zippo and a blue path jacket Got a candle on my windowsill Watch it blow out as the cool breeze floats in Got no electric cuz I don't pay my bills On the street it's me and Henry Rollins Shouting "six pack!" at the top of our lungs In my bed it's me and my punk dreamz that's the only place I have any fun Ay, oh Let's go Ay, oh Oh no! Call my mom up, gotta make a deposit These black Doc Martens don't clean themselves Got a gig tonight at Sammy J's ballroom At the end I think I'll smash my guitar Ay, oh Let's go Ay, oh Oh no! Ay, oh Let's go Ay, oh Noooooo!!! I'm smoking cigarettes to sound like Kurt Cobain Smoking cigarettes to sound like Kurt Cobain Smoking cigarettes to sound like Kurt Cobain Smoking cigarettes Got a band, but we don't have a name yet And we're working on our very first song Got two singers doing double-lead vocals Me and the drummer just can't get along Heading home at the 5th street bus stop "Last Caress" and the pouring rain Can't wait til I'm under my covers Rippin' solos in my punk dream state Ay, oh Let's go Ay, oh Oh no! Ay, oh Let's go Ay, oh Noooooo!!! I'm smoking cigarettes to sound like Kurt Cobain Smoking cigarettes to sound like Kurt Cobain Smoking cigarettes to sound like Kurt Cobain Smoking cigarettes

Apples & Oranges 02:49
lyrics

Down by the beach on a Monday night You're playing bossa from your speaker and the feeling's alright Flowers in bloom while kids fly their kites Apples, oranges, wouldn't it be nice? Down by the river you took my hand You said you wanna get wasted and sleep in the sand Who am I to disagree? Apples, oranges, you and me You called up your friend who had a few tabs I got nervous when you said that it wouldn't be so bad Took your car down to the lake Apples, oranges, that was a mistake Took off all your clothes on a whim Went in the water, you forgot how to swim Picked you up and ran back to the car Apples, oranges, CPR

Still Can't Skate 02:49
lyrics

Sitting motionless with a haze across my eyeballs watching white paint chips falling off my drywall Start boiling water to clear the air Picking yesterday's cobwebs out of my hair 10 hours later I'm back for more stuffing cans in my bag at the corner store 5 dollars to my name 50 grand on my head Stumbling home tryna get back to bed Wake up Shake down Get home Locked out So tired So stoned You won't Pick up your phone Lying in the street with my head in the gutter Don't need a radio, I'm the song of the summer Setting fireworks off in the parking lot Jump behind a car before they go off Steal a deck from a downtown shop Caught on the way out, now they called the cops Rode it down the street, barely got away Broke a tooth on the ground 'cause I still can't skate Wake up Shake down Get home Locked out So tired So stoned You won't Pick up your phone Knock Knock Open up Windows cracked "Shut up!" Left out On the grass Fall back On my ass

Glimmer 03:25

I have the same dream every night of my life I'm in a dark room, with a dot of light I try to reach out and cup it in my hand It turns into your eyes and then to grains of sand These dreams won't leave my head Every night until I'm dead Pieces of you, fragmented Never come together, never come to, never come to... I can't tell if I'm ever really awake Everywhere I go, never an escape I spin around in circles, try to open my eyes Your breath hangs in the air, clouding out the sky These dreams won't leave my mind No release, never even a sign Your image can't align Never come together, never come to, never come to...

Singing About the Summer 03:32
lyrics

Out of the day, and into the night Out of the sun, and into the light How does it feel to visualize your vision? How does it feel to drive a manual transmission? Nights at McDonald's and mornings at Denny's We're pulling our bootstraps and counting our pennies I never did know the names of the chords But I was singing about the summer And I was thinking about when the streetlights never turned on at all I was singing about the summer And I was dreaming about when you taught me how to play the guitar I was singing about the summer When we listened to Vampire Weekend and never ever fought at all I was singing about the summer When we took turns shotgunning Hey Y'alls Our parents never asked us to call I was singing about Pennies for breakfast, Fentanyl for dinner Why stop a sin when you can punish a sinner? Surrender to habit or take the offensive And why are these smokes so god damn expensive? When do we stop and start again And why is it dark? It's only 4pm I think it's time I memorized those chords And I was singing about the summer When we started a band, but I didn't know the names of the chords I was singing about the summer When we went for a drive and you taught me how to use my words I was singing about the summer When we climbed to the top of that building, that French guy kicked us off I was singing about the summer When I first tried to smoke cigarettes and you showed me how to take a shot I was singing about the summer When we got your sister to buy us some booze and we drank it together I was singing about the summer When we jumped in the ocean at midnight and knew it would last forever I was singing about the summer When we listened to Vampire Weekend and carved our names into the wall I was singing about the summer When we sat on the beach until sunrise and never thought about it at all

Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous 03:24

Don't tell me to wake up I haven't put on my makeup Get up, roll over Take a look at my four-leaf clover My luck charm My left arm Fell asleep cuz I slept on it last night What a sight I must be My eye's feeling lazy My vision's going hazy In your friend's apartment Let's get some coffee started We're up and we're at 'em Ready to face a brand new day What have you got to say? I wouldn't trade it for the world Guess what I traded for the world? My own worst enemy My good integrity I wouldn't trade that for the world Lifestyles of the rich & famous Don't slow down or the kids might replace us Neither hell nor high water ever phased us Cuz if we brave the waves we might stay famous Guess what? You're front page Headlining actor, main stage No scandal you can't handle Going up like a roman candle You're gorgeous, you're morbid An icon of perversity Who do you wanna be? I wouldn't trade it for the world Guess what I traded for the world? My own worst enemy My good integrity I wouldn't trade that for the world Lifestyles of the rich & famous Don't slow down or the kids might replace us Neither hell nor high water ever phased us Cuz if we brave the waves we might stay famous

You're Too Shy 05:39
lyrics

I'm sitting in my room Waiting for a call Everybody else but you and me Is out getting drunk or losing teeth I think we should meet In the park between our buildings After dark And sometimes I think it could be Exactly like it is in my dreams And you'd be wearing the same dress you were When I first saw you And I'd be wearing the same dress I was When you first saw me too And it starts with a look And it starts with a step And it starts with two hands together And four feet stepping in time But if you're too shy to dance let me know you're too shy to dance let me know you're too shy to, you're too shy too You're too shy to dance let me know And you're worried your parents will find out You're worried that they'll notice when we're gone But we don't have to worry here and now We're living in this moment, this single perfect moment And I don't sleep much anymore cuz It's not the same when I'm not next to you And I don't open up my door cuz You might be on the other side Waiting to come in And you're the only thing that's going on in my mind It's like every second you're away I'm wasting my time It's like can't fuckin think of what I'm not doing right Because you're the only person that I want in my life, yeah You're the only person that I wanted to love me You're the only person that I wanted to love me You're the only person that I needed to love me You're the only person that I ever need, ever need So if you're too shy to dance let me know you're too shy to dance let me know you're too shy to, you're too shy too You're too shy to dance let me know If you're too shy to dance let me know you're too shy to dance let me know you're too shy to, you're too shy too You're too shy to dance let me know If you're too shy to dance let me know you're too shy to dance let me know you're too shy to, you're too shy too You're too shy to dance let me know If you're too shy to, you're too shy too If you're too shy to, you're too shy too You're too shy you're too shy, you're too You're too shy to dance... If you're too shy to dance let me know you're too shy to dance let me know you're too shy to, you're too shy too You're too shy to dance let me know
