Stacy King 04:14
I don’t really know what I want anymore you do what you can and nobody keeps score time flirts with time flirts with time 30 dough circles in the back of my car wheels losin’ tread as they rip on the tar time flirts with time flirts with time but I’ve got Stacy King on the speakers waitin’ for the next time I’ll see her sing I remember when I saw her at The Underground with an ex-girlfriend that eventually skipped town time hurts with time hurts with time a lot of people wish they could go back and make changes figure out the kinks and rearrange it time’s gone with time’s gone with time but I’ve got Stacy King on the speakers waitin’ for the next time I’ll see her sing I’ve got Stacy King in my ears I get to listen to her sing for years and years

Heat Days 03:21
man, I hate my job sometimes but that don’t change a thing when I close my eyes I can hear the soft whispering “It’ll be all right. Just don’t stop moving. It’ll be all right. You’ll sleep tonight. Just don’t stop moving.” sweat rolls down into my mouth eyes are burnin’ red oh, Nebraska summer call me when the leaves are dead need to find a place to rest my brain even up in outer space they’re busier than anyone things are not that bad I’m just tired please, don’t think I’m angry I’m just tired of bein’ alone people say, “Get over it.” then they walk away everyone is actin’ like celebrities these days Holden here are your phonies we’re runnin’ off the cliff into the sea and rocks of internet and cell phone pics no one is innocent everyone’s at fault that’s why her head ain’t restin’ on my shoulder right now I took too long I took too long to correct so many wrongs

Cause It Is 03:36
she’s in my head today and there’s no way of gettin’ her out she’ll kill me dead one day and I’ll help her put me in the ground it’s like torture cause it is she’s in the ticking clock her laugh is in the birds her answering machine is the only way I’ll ever hear her voice again it’s like torture cause it is a hot rusty shiv a claw in my back a brick to my throat glass to my toes

Embarrassed 05:43
something has to go memory delete every day afraid I’m going to repeat everything I’ve done everything I’ve said that hasn’t been for good can we edit out the mess I’ve made? I’ve made every song I write is another short escape from all the pain and strife I’ve brought into this place I’m embarrassed about almost everything everything

Aaaw, Snap! 01:22
feel I’m gonna snap in half feel I’m gonna snap in half without you and everybody’s gonna laugh when I finally break when I finally crack when my legs move forward and my head’s in the past think I’m finally gonna snap

Diane where you gonna go when all your friends are in magazines? Diane, Diane who you gonna know? Diane I’ve seen the way they talk about you when you ain’t around you don’t need that honey you so smart and funny Diane, Diane you need another crowd if you give me a chance would you come over and dance with me? oh, baby please I’m droolin’ at the mouth for you Diane Diane are you home? haven’t seen you in school people say “Diane? Diane! She gone to Mexico!” Diane are you gone for good or in a different neighborhood? I’ll miss you, Diane Diane, Diane please don’t go if you give me a chance would you come back home and dance with me? oh, baby please oh, what I would give to have you hold hands with me oh, baby please some girls just go yeah, they just disappear without a trace and you spend the years tryin’ to remember their face the way her hair was wind the way her eyes would grin sent shivers down your spine there just wasn’t time there just wasn’t time for you, Diane

go, if you don’t like it, go don’t be the man who doesn’t row go, if you don’t like it, go don’t blame the people that you’ve come to know hold, if you can’t lose it, hold don’t be the man who isn’t whole fold, if you can’t win it, fold don’t blame the fire that you stepped in far up above I can feel the sun on my every thought deep under the blue I can feel the weight of my dirty slate oh, cruel world stop the ride and let me off gone, everybody’s gone they’ve all had to move on and you should tag along on, off and on good and bad they come to everyone

I don’t know much but I know I love you don’t know calculus politics or medicine don’t know kung fu but I still remember when we first met you skipped up to me and you said “Who are you? Where did you come from? What would it take to get to spend some time with you? Gimme your number so I can call you. Talk to you late at night until we fall asleep. You drive me wild.” every day you just make me want you how you walk and talk and laugh and cry it all makes me swoon but I kept it together when we first met you put your hands on my blushin’ cheeks and said “Who are you? Where did you come from? What would it take to get to spend some time with you? Gimme your number so I can call you. Talk to you late at night until we fall asleep.” you drive me wild the constellations of the freckles on your face you drive me wild burstin’ at the seams I am livin’ in my dreams I’m like a child learnin’ everythin’ all over again too many thoughts to know where to begin you drive me wild

That's Fine 04:29
I watched your eyes reflect the stars this big boy wrapped in your little arms didn’t need a watch, didn’t need a car cause space and time felt so far far away I watched your hair dance in the air then you told me you didn’t care anymore that I was a step, I was a spare that space and time were leavin’ me behind I let the break get the best of me your pretty face in everything I’d see I became a creature of the night deaf and dumb and walkin’ blind I watched the day through blinds in bed heart full of lead I guess I proved you right stayed in the same place wasted all that time wasted all that space now I’m on the run chasin’ down the sun years and years behind but if it keeps me far from you… that’s fine
