Every Loser Knows Regret

Yeah I know
I'm a little soft
So are you
Now I'm falling apart
Can I borrow your glue?
Someone told me every loser knows regret
Man, no need to tell me I'm familiar as it gets
We went to school together, and then shared a bed
And when my thoughts foreclosed he started squatting in my head
I never have the courage to do what I want
It makes it easy to depend on another drop
I'd pay a ghost ten dollars to learn how to haunt
Then I'd never be alone once all this is done
Someone told me every loser knows regret
Man, no need to tell me I'm familiar as it gets
We went to school together, and then shared a bed
And when my thoughts foreclosed he started squatting in my head

Bumming Me Out
02:25
|
|||
|
I begged her to stay, I couldn't stand to be alone
She said, "This rain is bumming me out, I'll just go home"
She laced them up and walked outside
The ripples in the puddles were like reminders
that she left me there alone
The sound of her sedan
was swallowed by the static of the storm
She stopped for a second, then she was gone
I'll cry for a minute, but I'll move on
I used to sit and stare at the tree in my front yard
We tried to see Orion's Belt, but it was just too hard
We watched the leaves dance to the rhythms of the wind
The august fire of July
gently sings
The sound of her sedan
was swallowed by the static of the storm
She stopped for a second, then she was gone
I'll cry for a minute, but I'll move on
She called me up twice just to see if I'm okay
But that rain was bumming me out, I'm not okay
I laced them up and walked outside
The ripples in the puddles were like reminders
Of those lonely Saturdays
The sound of her sedan
was swallowed by the static of the storm
She stopped for a second, then she was gone
I'll cry for a minute, but I'll move on

Wolf Like Me
03:18

That hokey pokey had gone on for too long
I left the split level thinking that i was wrong
But it doesn't matter
What could we have done?
Those ice cream cones will always taste like you
Those afternoon skies are the same shade of blue
As the marbles that you'll never share with me again
We were too young to make it work
Good thing I'm older every day
The sirens go off in the neighborhood
The clocks been ticking but I need some more time
My eyes aren't great but now I'm wishing I was blind
Cause seeing you smile
Cracks me like a whip
What can I do to be your pet again?
My hide is nasty but I'll wear my sheepskin
Do you think you could ever
love a wolf like me?
We were too young to make it work
Good thing I'm older every day
The sirens go off in the neighborhood
My memories are rotten
At least those that aren't forgotten
Denim jean, black cotton
And the car that we were caught in
Now as we crawl to autumn
After all the leaves have fallen
Remember those spring blossoms
The yellow ones that I've forgotten

Land Grazing
03:00

Feeling those blues
It isn't easy
It isn't easy
Come back to my room
I'll make it easy
I'll make it easy
I'm breaking my rules
This isn't me
This isn't me
I won't be cruel
But I can be
But I can be
Come graze my land
I'll set you free
I'll set you free
Grasp my hand
Just wait and see
Just wait and see

Leonidas
You were my skeleton key
Unlocking all of me
Leonidas
The perfect size to fit inside
But time has worn my gears
And you don't open me anymore
Leonidas, I wont behave anymore
And you don't open me anymore
Leonidas, I wont behave anymore

Commander Of Space
04:05
|
|||
|
Bees won't believe me
When they hear my lies
Who even wants bees
To prosecute a trial?
Green grass isn't green grass
If you eat grass
Then you'll see what I mean
I said moonlight carved from limelight
If you like light
Then you'll glow with a broken nose
I did my job today
Commander of space
Passenger of time
Psychotic finish line

Sail Away From Me
03:12
|
|||
|
A bounty for a broken heart, the sign laments
It wants no part in this revenge
My eyes grow green
My roots dangle inside a cavernous cocoon,
hoping I survive
Sail away from me
Don't call my name
Under this broken glass
I dance alone
The starlight tries to steal the fame
from the trees
So these willows began to sob
They sob deeply
The geese all migrate
They know what comes next
Those that are caught get wrung by the neck
Sail away from me
Don't call my name
Under this broken glass
I dance alone

Saturday Evenings
03:01
|
|||
|
At the end of the week
I sleep on concrete
Every comfort reminds me
Of months with Sandy
I can't handle those feelings
On Saturday evenings
At the end of the week
I watch sad movies
Any laughter reminds me
Of smiles with Sandy
I can't handle those feelings
On Saturday Evenings

Cuttin Newspapers
03:03
|
|||
|
We cut our names out of newspapers
We glued them up on our refrigerators
So that we could finally be cool
Skinny dipping in local pools
Up on that hill where geese leave waste
For the first time I felt my age
I wish that we could have held on
Slip and sliding down is more fun
Cold spring nights driving down the road
Hoping that I don't give you my cold
But that never stopped us before
We'll be gone a while so lock the door
Dancing around a small bonfire
No-ones laughing at these ugly liars
We all need those who scream and cry
To all let us know its okay to die

Purple Goodbye
02:56
|
|||
|
Inside a glass
Looking out on tomorrow
Warping the stars
Purple goodbye
Hollow bubbles
Trying to cover the hole
Dandelion
Forgive my sin
Frozen mountain
Where did all your green friends go?
You drove them away
A better place to stay
Covered in blankets
Wasting their pretty gifts
Another time maybe
A Saturday maybe

Please don't make me happy
I want to be angry
My heart won't keep pumping
I think you broke something
Please don't call me pretty
I want to be ugly
My breath won't stop burning
Maybe I broke something real
These days don't come a lot
Give me some time to watch the stars
And think about my heart
Please don't make me happy
I want to be angry
My heart won't keep pumping
I think you broke something
Please don't call me pretty
I want to be ugly
My breath won't stop burning
Maybe I broke something real
I was never a cave
I don't want you inside
Just cause I cannot close
This treasure beneath
Under fossils and coal
It never belonged to you
I don't care if you're cold

Mishandled It
03:01
|
|||
|
My world was repeating
I decided not to handle it
My heart wasn't beating
Maybe I mishandled it
In another we cried together
In another space we died forever
