St Patrick's Day
- "Welcome to the real world", she said to me
- Condescendingly
- Take a seat
- Take your life
- Plot it out in black and white
- Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
- And the drama queens
- I'd like to think the best of me
- Is still hiding
- Up my sleeve
- They love to tell you
- Stay inside the lines
- But something's better
- On the other side
- I wanna run through the halls of my high school
- I wanna scream at the
- Top of my lungs
- I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
- Just a lie you've got to rise above
- So the good boys and girls take the so called right track
- Faded white hats
- Grabbing credits
- Maybe transfers
- They read all the books but they can't find the answers
- And all of our parents
- They're getting older
- I wonder if they've wished for anything better
- While in their memories
- Tiny tragedies
- They love to tell you
- Stay inside the lines
- But something's better
- On the other side
- I wanna run through the halls of my high school
- I wanna scream at the
- Top of my lungs
- I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
- Just a lie you got to rise above
- I am invincible
- As long as I'm alive
- I wanna run through the halls of my high school
- I wanna scream at the
- Top of my lungs
- I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
- Just a lie you've got to rise above
- I just can't wait til my 10 year reunion
- I'm gonna bust down the double doors
- And when I stand on these tables before you
- You will know what all this time was for
- I am driving up 85 in the
- Kind of morning that lasts all afternoon
- just stuck inside the gloom
- 4 more exits to my apartment but
- I am tempted to keep the car in drive
- And leave it all behind
- Cause I wonder sometimes
- About the outcome
- Of a still verdictless life
- Am I living it right?
- Am I living it right?
- Am I living it right?
- Why Georgia, why?
- I rent a room and I fill the spaces with
- Wood in places to make it feel like home
- But all I feel's alone
- It might be a quarter life crisis
- Or just the stirring in my soul
- Either way I wonder sometimes
- About the outcome
- Of a still verdictless life
- Am I living it right?
- Am I living it right?
- Am I living it right?
- Why Georgia, why?
- So what, so I've got a smile on
- But it's hiding the quiet superstitions in my head
- Don't believe me
- When I say I've got it down
- Everybody is just a stranger but
- That's the danger in going my own way
- I guess it's the price I have to pay
- Still "everything happens for a reason"
- Is no reason not to ask myself
- If I am living it right
- Am I living it right?
- Am I living it right?
- Why Georgia, why?
- My stupid mouth
- Has got me in trouble
- I said too much again
- To a date over dinner yesterday
- And I could see
- She was offended
- She said "well anyway..."
- Just dying for a subject change
- Oh, another social casualty
- Score one more for me
- How could I forget?
- Mama said "think before speaking"
- No filter in my head
- Oh, what's a boy to do
- I guess he better find one soon
- We bit our lips
- She looked out the window
- Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
- I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker
- And I could see clearly
- An indelible line was drawn
- Between what was good, what just slipped out and what went wrong
- Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
- Thanks for playing, try again.
- How could I forget?
- Mama said "think before speaking"
- No filter in my head
- Oh, what's a boy to do
- I guess he better find one
- I'm never speaking up again
- It only hurts me
- I'd rather be a mystery
- Than she desert me
- Oh I'm never speaking up again
- Starting now
- One more thing
- Why is it my fault?
- So maybe I try too hard
- But it's all because of this desire
- I just wanna be liked
- I just wanna be funny
- Looks like the jokes on me
- So call me captain backfire
- Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
- Thanks for playing, try again.
- How could I forget?
- Mama said "think before speaking"
- No filter in my head
- Oh, what's a boy to do
- I guess he better find one
- I'm never speaking up again
- It only hurts me
- I'd rather be a mystery
- Than she desert me
- Oh I'm never speaking up again
- Starting now
- We got the afternoon
- You got this room for two
- One thing I've left to do
- Discover me
- Discovering you
- One mile to every inch of
- Your skin like porcelain
- One pair of candy lips and
- Your bubblegum tongue
- And if you want love
- We'll make it
- Swimming a deep sea
- Of blankets
- Take all your big plans
- And break 'em
- This is bound to be a while
- Your body Is a wonderland
- Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
- Your body Is a wonderland
- Something 'bout the way your hair falls in your face
- I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
- You tell me where to go and
- Though I might leave to find it
- I'll never let your head hit the bed
- Without my hand behind it
- you want love?
- We'll make it
- Swimming a deep sea
- Of blankets
- Take all your big plans
- And break 'em
- This is bound to be a while
- Your body Is a wonderland
- Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
- Your body Is a wonderland
- Damn baby
- You frustrate me
- I know you're mine all mine all mine
- But you look so good it hurts sometimes
- Your body Is a wonderland
- Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
- Your body Is a wonderland
- Your body is a wonderland
- When sky blue gets dark enough
- To see the colors of the city lights
- A trail of ruby red and diamond white
- Hits her like a sunrise
- She comes and goes and comes and goes
- Like no one can
- Tonight she's out to lose herself
- And find a high on Peachtree Street
- From mixed drinks to techno beats it's always
- Heavy into everything
- She comes and goes and comes and goes
- Like no one can
- She comes and goes and no one knows
- She's slipping through my hands
- She's always buzzing just like
- Neon, neon
- Neon, neon
- Who knows how long, how long, how long
- She can go before she burns away
- I can't be her angel now
- You know it's not my place to hold her down
- And it's hard for me to take a stand
- When I would take her anyway I can
- She comes and goes and comes and goes
- Like no one can
- She comes and goes and no one knows
- She's slipping through my hands
- She's always buzzing just like
- Neon, neon
- Neon, neon
- Who knows how long, how long, how long
- She can go before she burns away
- I never liked this apple much
- It always seemed too big to touch
- I can't remember how I found
- My way before she came around
- I tell everyone
- I smile just because
- I've got a city love
- I found it in Lydia
- And I can't remember life before her name
- She keeps a toothbrush at my place
- As if I had the extra space
- She steals my clothes to wear to work
- I know - her hairs are on my shirts
- I tell everyone
- I smile just because
- I've got a city love
- I found it in Lydia
- And I can't remember life before
- The day
- She called up and came to me
- Covered in rain
- And dinnertime shadowing
- And as her clothes spun, we spooned
- And I knew I was through
- When I said "I love you"
- Friday evening, we've been drinking
- 2 AM, I swear I might propose
- but we close the tab
- split a cab
- and call each other up when we get home
- falling asleep to the sound
- of sirens
- I've got a city love
- I found it in Lydia
- From the battery
- To the gallery
- It's the kind of thing you only see
- In scented, glossy magazines
- And I can't remember life before her name
- I've these dreams I'm
- Walking home
- Home when it used to be
- And everything is
- As it was
- Frozen in front of me
- Here I stand
- 6 feet small
- romanticizing years ago
- it's a bitter sweet feeling hearing "Wrapped Around Your Finger" on the
- radio
- and these days
- I wish I was 6 again
- Oh make me a red cape
- I wanna be Superman
- Oh, if only my life was more like
- 1983
- all these things would be more like they were at the
- start of me
- had it made in 83
- thinking bout my brother Ben
- I miss him every day
- He looks just like his brother John
- But on an 18 month delay
- Here I stand
- 6 feet small
- and smiling cause I'm scared as hell
- kind of like my life is like a sequel to a movie
- where the actor's names have changed
- oh well
- well these days
- I wish I was 6 again
- Oh make me a red cape
- I wanna be Superman
- Oh, if only my life was more like
- 1983
- all these things would be more like they were at the
- start of me
- If my life was more like
- 1983
- I'd plot a course to the source of the purest little part of me
- and most my memories
- have escaped me
- or confused themselves with dreams
- if heaven's all we want it to be
- send your prayers to me
- care of 1983
- you can paint that house a rainbow of colors
- rip out the floorboards
- replace the shutters but
- that's my plastic in the dirt
- whatever happened to my
- whatever happened to my
- whatever happened to my lunchbox
- when came the day that it got
- thrown away and don't you think I should have had some say
- in that decision
- I'm writing you to
- catch you up on places I've been
- You held this letter
- probably got excited, but there's nothing else inside it
- didn't have a camera by my side this time
- hopping I would see the world with both my eyes
- maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm
- in the mood to lose my way with words
- Today skies are painted colors of a cowboy's cliche'
- And strange how clouds that look like mountains in the sky
- are next to mountains anyway
- Didn't have a camera by my side this time
- Hoping I would see the world with both my eyes
- Maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm
- in the mood to lose my way
- but let me say
- You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes
- it brought me back to life
- You'll be with me next time I go outside
- just no more 3x5's Guess you had to be there
- Guess you had to be with me Today I finally overcame
- tryin' to fit the world inside a picture frame
- Maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm in the mood to
- lose my way but let me say
- You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes
- it brought me back to life
- You'll be with me next time I go outside
- no more 3x5's
- just no more 3x5's
- Staying home alone on a Friday
- Flat on the floor looking back
- On old love
- Or lack thereof
- After all the crushes are faded
- And all my wishful thinking was wrong
- I'm jaded
- I hate it
- I'm tired of being alone
- So hurry up and get here
- So tired of being alone
- So hurry up and get here
- Searching all my days just to find you
- I'm not sure who I'm looking for
- I'll know it
- When I see you
- Until then, I'll hide in my bedroom
- Staying up all night just to write
- A love song for no one
- I'm tired of being alone
- So hurry up and get here
- So tired of being alone
- So hurry up and get here
- I could have met you in a sandbox
- I could have passed you on the sidewalk
- Could I have missed my chance
- And watched you walk away?
- I'm tired of being alone
- So hurry up and get here
- So tired of being alone
- So hurry up and get here
- You'll be so good
- You'll be so good for me
- Back to you
- It always comes around
- Back to you
- I tried to forget you
- I tried to stay away
- But it's too late
- Over you
- I'm never over
- Over you
- Something about you
- It's just the way you move
- The way you move me
- I'm so good at forgetting
- And I quit ever game I play
- But forgive me, love
- I can't turn and walk away
- Back to you
- It always comes around
- Back to you
- I walk with your shadow
- I'm sleeping in my bed
- With your silhouette
- should have smiled in that picture
- If it's the last that I'll see of you
- It's the least that you
- Could not do
- Leave the light on
- I'll never give up on you
- Leave the light on
- For me too
- Back to me
- I know that it comes
- Back to me
- Doesn't it scare you
- Your will is not as strong
- As it used to be
- Check your pulse it's proof that you're not listening to
- The call your life's been issuing you
- The rhythm of a line of idle days
- Scared of a world outside you should go explore
- Pull all the shades and wander the great indoors
- The great indoors
- Lamplight makes the shadows play
- And posters take the walls away
- The T.V. is your window pane
- The view won't let you down
- So put your faith in a late night show
- I bet you didn't even know
- Depends on how far out you go
- The channel numbers change
- Scared of a world outside you should go explore
- Pull all the shades and wander the great indoors
- Though lately I can't blame you
- I have seen the world
- And sometimes wish your room had room for two
- So go unlock the door
- And find what you are here for
- Leave the great indoors
- Please leave the great indoors
- Check your pulse it's proof that you're not listening to
- The call your life's been issuing you
- The rhythm of a line of idle days
- Suppose I said
- I am on my best behavior
- And there are times
- I lose my worried mind
- Would you want me when I'm not myself?
- Wait it out while I am someone else?
- Suppose I said
- Colors change for no good reason
- And words will go
- From poetry to prose
- Would you want me when I'm not myself?
- Wait it out while I am someone else?
- And I, in time, will come around
- I always do for you
- Suppose I said
- You're my saving grace?
- Here comes the cold
- Break out the winter clothes
- And find a love to call your own
- You - enter you
- Your cheeks a shade of pink
- And the rest of you in powder blue
- Who knows what will be
- But I'll make you this guarantee
- No way November will see our goodbye
- When it comes to December it's obvious why
- No one wants to be alone at Christmas time
- In the dark, on the phone
- You tell me the names of your brothers
- And your favorite colors
- I'm learning you
- And when it snows again
- We'll take a walk outside
- And search the sky
- Like children do
- No way November will see our goodbye
- When it comes to December it's obvious why
- No one wants to be alone at Christmas time
- And come January we're frozen inside
- Making new resolutions a hundred times
- February, won't you be my valentine?
- And we'll both be safe 'til St. Patrrick's Day
- We should take a ride tonight around the town
- and look around at all the beautiful houses
- something in the way that blue lights on a black night
- can make you feel more
- everybody, it seems to me, just wants to be
- just like you and me
- No one wants to be alone at Christmas time
- Come January we're frozen inside
- Making new resolutions a hundred times
- February, won't you be my valentine?
- And if our always is all that we gave
- And we someday take that away
- I'll be alright if it was just 'til St. Patrick's Day
