It's kind of a funny story I met a girl And we started talking And if you know me, you know That I immediately, without question Fell in love with her Even though I told them I'd never do that again And it was this kind of talking, the deep passionate k...

I’d rather spend my evening Talking to Chloe on Twitter Than having you come over So it’ll be like old times But I know that you don’t give a fuck Cause you're knee deep in your iPhone But Now that you saw my tweets You know that I’m home Buried in my...

Downstairs, halfway dead, Sucking down coffee from a black old fountain. Is your home where you lay your head Or where your fake swordfish is mounted? Eyes-cross, habitually I would leave the room prematurely With a tiny little pile of dark roast grounds...

Are you hearing me? Are you "Embracing Facts?” Say things you understand, that way you’re catching my drift. Will you stay with me? Will you sleep here tonight? Just don't walk away when I say “crush.” Are you here with me? Or are you out in Space, orbiti...

the first time i saw you was in your apartment i followed my friends single file through the darkness i looked your direction for excessive inspection and i could not muster the courage to say a single word to you for a while we were playing this game tha...

Did you ever love me Biopsy from the origin of sound Confirms you're speaking truthfully Concludes everything I thought about Is this past or present? I can't seem to make it all out What's truths betrayal I find in the heat of the moment Betrayal, wha...

Some time at home will surely ease my mind As I leave another state, scared (What if I was someone else) Some time at home will surely ease my mind Paper crown I'm settled down, tonight (What if I was someone else) Some time away could never ease the...

I'm the best friend you have in this town, or at least you tell me so I'm the only one you talk to day and night But your days and nights must be slow, your days and nights must be slow I'm the best friend you have in this town, or at least you tell me tha...

I can’t help thinking about you this whole ride home From Alberta, Portland to wherever I’ll soon unfold Into oblivion or somewhere between here and fact Forever waiting for you Ever-aching cause I’m Longing for when I’ll be coming back to you Hopeless,...

Home alone on friday night No better time for exercise And wishing you were still my girlfriend Sweeping floors and folding napkins Praying something cool might happen The sun explodes we die The world ends Talking to my friends about stuff Nasty bee...

Though you might think you're cute It's not so giggly, when you prance around acting like you're a somebody Growing up in this good for nothing town Saying, "I'm gonna make, I'll get out" Well good luck, when all you'll ever be Is just a dreamer, stop co...

I'm pretty good at feeling sorry for myself Making up fake lives but nothing like, tangible Daydreaming while watching the TV Intricate combos by myself to fall asleep But alas, none of them come true No car accidents, plane crashing No six o'clock news...

Dead dreams and debauchery scenes I spent the last 3 bucks On the last thing that I'll need There's no way that I'll end in the black for this term Guess I got a lot to learn Eight hours on the top of a bus Just to find out in the end I will never stop...

It's not just what you say Or how you've come so far The words that you repeat When time tears us apart That smug look on your face When you have something to hide Or at least that's what I think Maybe I'm out of touch You tell me if I'm wrong But yo...

I’m circling the drain with all my problems in hand Well I gotta pretty good hand I’d say But these new caskets crack the same The first few stones are the worst They fall in unnoticed And scare you for more than they’re worth And all at once you will...

You hold my hand You hold your liquor Projection screen Had ceased its flicker You gave me tiny tastes Of your truth I was starved And you were full I drove back home When you got sicker Disputing claims That you still held the TV clicker Anna's f...

I hate worrying about the future cause all my current problems are based around the past. And I hate when you call me late at night just to check in to make sure I got nothing to be sad about. But it's alright and I'm okay. I won't need your help anyway, I w...

what do you give someone who's already got one of everything you thought would be the perfect accoutrement to their unnerving temperament? attention? what could a lonely peasant being like myself offer a perfect, pleasant savior of humanity, redeemer of u...

Take the train to Frankford I won’t answer when they call I guess that’s just my gift to myself Drank a lot and danced to The Cure Holding on for dear life To the frayed edge of a feeling we misplaced years ago And knowing we should really get back home...

He's been haunting my dreams at night I've been bleeding from tripping in the dark Trying to turn on the light Trying to turn on the light He's been haunting my dreams alright I've been hollering at him in the dark Trying to find the right switch Yeah m...

Blind of our futures Destined to shoes we know won't fit Riding high amongst the ignorance I'm guessing for the bliss Counting down the days and hours till we meet again I'll scream through all these trees This voice I'll project If you love don't let...

I speak soft hoping you’ll hear me Not too busy searching for your head and heart I sing loud but only in the beginning just to grab your attention Will you bare witness to these words that have been so hard to find. Look at me when I say I’m not just an...

I spent all of Christmas Eve fake angry at you for Who knows what now or then and you spoke so fast I just sat back relaxed and took you all in I spent all of Christmas Eve trying to get warmer After standing outside for hours knowing at this point I’d b...

She smiles bites her lips and turns away, From that point on she's not just another face She turns back to him with those hazel eyes There is no point of return she's all that's on his mind But he doesn't know what she's been through before; Puts herself...

I saw you from the bottom of the stairs before you knew I was coming And though nervous and scared, I lingered on I heard most things break by the ends of these types of nights So I'll force upon every word I’ve brushed up on Since knowing we wont speak li...

It's not fair. All is wrong, again. I'm not right; content with regret. And it's so late. And I'm so tired, again. Yet, wide awake. Forget what you said... Catch me wasting away, or whatever. Spend all my time, confined to home. Forget what you said, wh...

Don’t call me now, I am in bed. I’ve sacrificed all chances for street-cred As a result of sticking near The same bed time for 13 years But you know this I’ve said it before There's lots of things I’ve said before Lots of things you kind of ignored And...

I'm a waste of time and space Drifting through my selfish ways I don't know how I got here Travel light endlessly Distort all reality I can't say how I got here I'm a waste of time and space Meandering unwanted days I don't know how I got here Ente...

Look out I’m on a search for self destruction Crawling over the great plains of my cell phone contacts Just to, find a pretty girl to take home late at night To hold my sweaty palms and stuff Heads up because I’m always moving forward And if sometimes I...

Pulled over at midday The joker's still wet behind the ears He hands off a novel of novice citations outside the service station The glue sets beneath our heels My baby's in Massachusetts And all this booze is useless Sunset sing my scratched out sighin...

My love, my love is more than enough To fight off any fightings of Your lust for him, my loathing spits or that little pity party face You make when you're not up to par for one of our arguments My love, my love is more than enough To fend off those mons...

Don't call me now, I am in bed I've sacrificed all chances for street cred As a result of sticking near The same bedtime for thirteen years But you know this, I've said it before There's a lot of things I've said before Lots of things you kind of ignored...

These words were thrown together When I still had my faith in hand Kept it in my back pocket With the change I had to spare Swim through the skies when it’s night Let the stars be my sea breeze I love when the record echoes Reminds me of the trees Bu...

the fossils of my footsteps will be unearthed at a far off date, unknown impressed in concrete from walking home alone after walking you home and the mobs of greasy hair will romanticize my despair but they wont know that i didn't care i like the silence,...

I wanna start from the top, maybe like a do-over replace the voices in my head with blind innocence I wanna complete re-do, maybe change my name Report the loses grab the claim, it’s a shame it's such a shame We’re pissing away our time cause we’re pissin...

She said "Lets start from the top just rid of everything Like: the notes in your pockets the text you're always locking And if it's all the same; forget all of those lines where you mention my smile You gotta' lot of nerve complimenting me through choruses...

I'm just not the same, and I'm never gonna be again. Pissing contest in the parking lot, I wonder if I'll win. I'll just point and blame to the bottles under the third bench. It's not hard to hoax a smile in front of your friends. I spend a lot of time re...

Is he here? Are you making out? I can you hear you guys on the couch Shut up. Make out. Do something already. I'm waiting After reading that text from your friends I start losing all my confidence So I'll stay tired, I know soon I'll be bailing Then y...

I reckon you grew up in a town that said “reckon” all the time All your time so vile yet concrete And I heard little rumors here and there Little peeps that you may never leave (I swear to God if you never leave) Well here goes nothing I mean everything...

You're a love searching urchin, worst part you're not one of a kind You're the beat of my heart when I'm up late at night You're the "baby why haven't we kissed yet" You are, all I see is a sunset and your silhouette You're just another girl and I'm just...

When I was just a boy, we'll call it 15 or so, I found myself annoyed by a syndrome of sorts in my bones That girl who's next to me, she found herself bored to tears She realized that if she wanted conversation, she's out of luck for three more years When...

There's a tombstone in the brush with your name on the front, but I had no bucks to get "Here lies, they ran out of luck." on the back of it. Sharp as a tack but in the sense that you're not smart, just a prick. In my finger on my toe, with the sad holes o...

Didn't watch your ex’s set. I just left and thought about you; like when your teeth graze those lips, when you begin to smile. Later, you took my hand. You lead us to the doorway, but you let go of me once you saw all your friends. And I've known you fore...

Hey you, that's no way out. You can't find help in a bottle or a cut. They'll choose the wrong way to remember you. They'll find the wrong words to say... Hey man, whatcha thinking about? Not to be blunt, but haven't heard from you in days. Are you okay?...

Though I seem cool, calm and collected Making my way to Hipster with Glasses Was a little more than just nerve wrackin' Kinda’ just counted on her to turn me into goo Praise Whatever it ended with a smile Cause for a bit, a tad, a little while I expecte...

wait a minute cause i've been living more like a piece of shit without you and i've been spending your past killings trying to drink my way out of this room 

trying hard not to look like I'm trying that hard failing miserably at everything including that making plans in my head right before I go to sleep trying to think of who could make a better me than me maybe I'll shoot him an email, maybe he'll give it a...

Tonight we'll watch the presidential candidates debate And I'll bike 17 blocks down Haverford Avenue to buy a case And we'll pretend to know our facts While we verbally castrate the GOP And we'll make our parents proud by voting early But whatever the o...

Find it hard to believe tonight In a curiously well-kept house built before I was born This year we're gonna stamp out the sorry feeling Rain on summer vacation five blocks from Tasker-Morris Station Fucked for the ride home if I can't find two bills to ru...

When I was younger I thought of caring As a reason for some to praise me, in envy “So humble and kind” “No better person” Now that I’m older I’ve seen what I’ve been Ruthless, ungrateful, always trying to turn up tracks Be it about me or you Seeking o...

"It's a Wonderful Life" is still on TV As an hour ago you were still next to me. I've been chasing your thoughts, but I still can't see. Now all I've got left is the damn shake in my knees. It was the month of November, if I do remember Correctly, yeah,...

It's been three whole years of me thinking about you every day Sometimes for hours, sometimes in passing Saw you from the bottom of the staircase Stood out for hours as you complained About how you haven't seen your friends yet That you're too drunk to st...
