alone on the road
I wish was less traveled
too narrow to have someone to hold
it’s been 9 long years
since I’ve felt loving lips
or slow dancing hips
the broken thoughts just skip
and skip and skip
further now
always, further now
I think I’ll know it’s you
when I first make you smile
you’ll hang around a while with me
before you have to go
you’ll look deep in my eyes
laces will intertwine
heartbeats will finally align
further now
always, further now
everyday I lose more time with you
they say, “You’re young boy.”
(they say, "You're young girl.")
well, I wanna be young with you

I Don't Believe You

come on, tell me
it’ll be alright
so I can cry, ‘cause I don’t believe you
come on, tell me that you’ll stay
so I can cry, ‘cause I don’t believe you
come on, tell me that you’ve been savin’ up
for a trip for us, I don’t believe you
come on, tell me you can see my heart
when you look into my eyes, I don’t believe you
you look away when I say, “I love you.”
you turn away when I come home to see you
I don’t believe you
come on back to me

brother bed, I ain’t comin’ home tonight
I’m on a high, runnin’ in the moonlight
right where I belong
alone in broken thought
brother bed, I ain’t comin’ home tonight
all my friends are fast asleep
and I am still awake
alone in my heartache
in the dead of night
I feel more alive
with my tired eyes
I can see the light
reflected and easier to bear
all my friends are fast asleep
dreamin’ dreams that I can’t keep
in my hands, my slippery hands
lose my grip on every chance
on every dance
I’m right where I belong
alone in broken thought

Hold Out
03:50
|
|||
|
heart lost in the shuffle of the cards
I missed the flush, just wanted a pair
someone to hold, someone to care
someone to dare me to stop this
I’m holdin’ out now
just waitin’ around
feels just like I’m missin’ out on you
let down in the hustle of the love
she didn’t feel, I didn’t heal
for years and years
from fears and fears
brings me back here
starin’ at the pile
I’m holdin’ out now
just waitin’ around
feels just like I’m missin’ out on you
beggin’ again, I can’t let her in
missin’ again, I can’t let her in
let her in
“Let her in!”

Kiwi Madcat 24/7

late at night, I can’t sleep
fallin’ into fantasy
SNL on PS3, Diet Coke bubbling
nowhere left in my head
coherent thoughts have gone to bed
watchin’ Abby Elliott
standin’ in the back of the pack
on the phone, speech bubbles
Kiwi Madcat just won’t go
sayin’ things that she sees
anything and everything
I am lost in my head
all the things I should have said
when I saw Abby Ellliott
across the street in my dream last night
what’s wrong with Kiwi Madcat anyway?
what’s wrong with me
when Abby Elliott is across the street
in my dream last night?

Written by Jake Newbold of Super Ghost
am I just lonely or just how boring am I?
leave on those colors, babe
they make the room bright
‘cause it gets harder to explain
and I have seen better days in my life
mermaid in the sand
why are you on land?
don’t you belong in the see
as far away from me?
mermaid in the sand
you’re with another man
and he’s not me
‘cause it gets harder to explain
and I have seen better days in my life
all my friends
are gone all summer
and we’re gonna go surfin'

Hopeful in the Morning
04:08

does anybody here know
where I should go tonight?
I wanna go to sleep but
the timing isn’t right
does anybody know
where I should go tonight?
my head is full of thoughts
that I don’t want anymore
I need to hang with friends
that can open up that door
and push all of them out
before I scream and shout
and lose my voice again
does anybody know?
does anybody know
where I should go tonight?
well everybody’s busy
doin’ other stuff
sometimes I wish that phone calls
would always be enough
sometimes you’re just the one
gets left out of the fun
nobody meant to break
your little heart
I think about a bullet
plowin’ through my skull
I think about a girlfriend
that I will get to know
I think about the people
that say that I’m a fool
I wonder if they have the
exact same thoughts as me
and then I go to sleep
and have forgetful dreams
and wake up feelin’ hopeful in the morning

Dull and Gray
03:29
|

turned ‘round again
I didn’t know
you were talkin’ to the back
of my head
you speak so loud
I didn’t know I was walkin’ away
from the way you make everything I love
so dull and gray
burned out again
with nothin’ to show
let that gust of wind
come in full
tear me limb from limb
every part separates
just a cloud of smoke now
I am dull and gray
I want something better
not another word from
you don’t understand I
don’t want any part of
it is always crumbling
hope is always hanging
onward, I must go where
love is more than words and fantasies
dull and gray fantasies
not for me
