"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 *Repeat I am invincible I am invincible I am invincible As long as I'm alive *Repeat 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 this shit 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, tonight a 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 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 I'm never speaking up again I'm never speaking up again Starting now 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 Swim in 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 Swim in 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 Like no one can She comes and goes 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 *Repeat 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 every game I play But forgive me, love I can't turn and walk away this way 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 I'll say to you 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 |

After all the jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns have all gone to bed You can hear happiness staggering on down the street Footsteps dressed in red And the wind whispers mary A broom is drearily sweeping Up the broken pieces of yesterdays life Somewhere a queen is weeping Somewhere a king has no wife And the wind, it cries mary The traffic lights, they turn, uh, blue tomorrow And shine their emptiness down on my bed The tiny island sags down stream ?cause the life that lived is, Is dead And the wind screams mary Uh-will the wind ever remember The names it has blow in the past? And with this crutch, it?s old age, and it?s wisdom It whispers no, this will be the last And the wind cries mary |
