REAL TALK
You could say one of two things. Call me sometime or let`s hang out. Or maybe I could help you out. Stop acting like you`ll ever see me again, and like I don`t have you figured out. I understand how it works. On paper, we are similar people. I understand how it works. On paper, we are similar people. But we`re different people. You are tearing down walls I built untill they scraped the sky. So tell your wrecking crew, I welcome you. When the days slow down this summer don`t forget. I did two years in your silouhette . Your jaws of steel never forgave. Its haunting, the way silence sounded. If I fucked up long ago I`m sorry, I didn`t realize it counted. It just wouldn’t work out, that’s what I am telling myself. That we`re just two different people.

WORLD FAVORITE
It’s eleven thirty at night, and your in your bed nice and tight. Maybe your dreaming of me I am calling you, I am wishing you were here. I hope I didn`t annoy you today. If I did you answered anyway. Now I am laying in my bed I am hearing you wishing I could feel too. I miss her. I wanted to tell her. I spoke to myself in the mirror for awhile tonight. I made a promise that I would never fuck up having you in my life. To be honest…I think your my favorite girl I ever met. I bought a new notebook for the road. Covered it with your area code. Over and over again, It’s tattooed by the pen and I wish it was my home. `Cause I kinda hate everyone I know and lately I’ve been feeling so low. Come get inside my bed you make me feel dead by being out there in the Unknown. I just wanted to tell her.

FANTASY GIRL
Just like a dream….she called me kinda late last night. `Said that she knew everything and all those pretty little words came out. And just like I planned, she fell into my arms again, and I could pretend that I would lie with her forever and wait for the end.  You’re right, we should be together. Tonight, I could make it better if I just gave up on my stupid little fantasy world. You’re right, that was a fake smile and you’re right, I am in denial. I should just go home to my perfect little fantasy girl. You’re my fantasy girl. Just like I said…she crept back up inside my bed. `Said that she missed everything and all those words that made me fall came out. Just like a trap, everything just fell right back and we were on track. I could lie with her all night now and wait to react.

PARTING GIFT
Always turning out for the worst, you were always my most consistant curse. Now I hope this gets you kind of heated, or stings a little if you even read it. Bringing everyone down, you left this house feeling empty, but it’s better then feeling like it’s burning to the ground. I can’t live with you around anymore. You’re blocking out the sound outside my door. I found more. I can’t remember all the times that I almost had bruised eyes for being on your side. Now I hope that someone gets to ya, and if I`m there I`ll pretend I never knew ya. See you around, you were alright back when we were young, but you don’t compare to anything that I`ve found. I wrote you down a letter before I went to sleep, it had all the secrets I could no longer keep, I held them in for so long I was going to break but maybe now I can rest and you will lay awake.

DARKNESS, EVERYBODY
I`ve been trying to escape but something keeps calling me. A feeling I can’t shake the darkness has swallowed me. I can’t move fast enough to ditch what has followed me, and lightening strikes everything that I touch. This is how it feels for me to be on my own the sadness has cut me down to the bone, and it’s so bad I dont think I`ll make it home tonight. There’s not enough lights in your house that you could leave on for me tonight. There’s not enough fights I could lose to justify how I feel tonight. So try calling all your friends and asking what they have heard your looking for the gossip and hanging on every word. I’m not mad It’s cute its actually absurd I cant believe someone loves me so much. I’ve been failing every test and late for the makeup. Left alone at your request as you do your make up and I know that I won’t make this alright, before it’s over now tonight. And I know that this wont be the last time that I walk these streets and I hang my head. And I know that this won’t be the last time that I walk these streets and I wish I was dead.

SHE’S GOT HER OWN MAN NOW
At my best, I`d suggest I`ve been weird since she left. It’s normal autumn stuff, I guess I never thought enough. Look at me almost free from my crippling disease, shoot bullets through my foot I think that`d work out real good. Call me out, call me out, she’s calling me out. `And I guess she didn’t know better cause she called me out. Call me out, shes calling me out. I guess that’s why she`s got her own man now. She’s doing fine. She’s got her own man now and I guess that’s why she called me out. Call me out, whats she talking about? I guess she didn’t know better cause she`s got her own man now. At my best put to test I`d score average or less. I can’t apply myself if I could just untie myself. She wants the yes`s gets the no`s before long there she goes. I guess she dug too deep and now she’s just too bugged to sleep. You made yourself the guest of honor and the party got stopped and everybody just went home.

AL SHARPTON
I know you`re sound asleep right now and you can’t hear but I`m gonna explain everything. Turn this into every dream your pretty little head could ever come up with. I am drunk with the thought of sharing these blankets right now.  I think were old enough to know. I think were old enough that we would know better if we should know better. I should be sound asleep right now but I`m not so I`m gonna explain everything. Hope that you can hear me so your pretty little head goes undisrupted. I`m drunk with the thought of sharing these blankets right now. I pretend that I`m already someone, and all my problems faded away.

MONTROSE
I figured I’d go at the least to check in cause I just miss her grin and to show
that I didn’t really never wanna see you again… and my heart caves in when I look at you… this is so hard. Do you take pictures off the walls when you know I’m coming to your room, do you hide all the stuffed animals the other boys bought for you… I wasn’t surprised she was chillen lookin hot in her bed smoking pot and i kept my distance i was a “good boy”

FM DIAL STYLE
Let’s go home. To a place we can call our own, we can live there together, be in love forever and never have to be alone. Would you try? Or would you leave me for some other guy. I have been sitting without you just thinking about you and wishing you were here inside. When you wake up you will call me and I will tell you that I miss you so, I make records so that when I`m gone you can hear me on your stereo. Love. I think were in Love. I`m so tired, since I met you I`m always inspired. I think I could change the world if you were really my girl and we would have all we desired.

I LIKE YOU
Looks like were holding hands, who knows exactly what this all could be… All I know is that I feel fine when I pretend your mine and you lie close to me. I’m finally laying somewhere where I`m happy that I`m here, and my troubles said goodbye and the heartache disappeared. I miss you most when I try to act like I dont care about the warm hands, I think that were best friends. I like you face thats why I stare your everything I hoped a girl could be. So hears a toast to laying close I`m comfy now and I just won’t leave. You and me we could be… You and me I could see… I`m in it for the long haul… I like you. You better come back if you’re running.

SEPTERMBERISM
The rain poured down on the day that I left to hang with you in New York. Every little thing made me miss you more so I kept running. It’s like I had never been so sure of doing something stupid, doing something without thinking. I`m just trying to make a getaway to you, and I`d have gone a thousand miles more. I`ll meet you in your head, tonight when your in bed. The one time that I came to your house I was freezing outside until you finally came out, then you pulled me by the arm and we went around back where you glared me up and down though you say you don’t remember that. Then we went downstairs I saw your bedroom and stuff and I tried to say something but you said to shut up and I looked at you you were so damn cute… sifting through the pages of the pictures that you drew. I`ll meet you in your head. Tonight when your in bed. I know you’re thinking of me. You’re everything that I hoped for and I`m all the shit that you go for stop kidding yourself now. I hate you you should have picked up the phone tonight.

SIDEKICK
Open your eyes kid you know I`m on your side kid. I`d like to save the world and you could be my sidekick. They’ll all say our names. As the words down on the paper answer yesterdays dreams. I`ve lived a lie kid I`d love to run and hide kid. You could say fuck them all and ditch the world like I did. We could be untouchable.
