Leaving Through the Window and AudioBoxer

"I Want to Save You" Standing on the edge of morning, center sex and New Found Glory Playing as she's pulling back her hair. She's drives away, she's feeling worthless, used again but nothing's different. She'd stay the night, but knows he doesn't care. Home by three to deafening quiet, the porch light's off, guess they forgot it. She'd cry herself to sleep, but she don't dare. And she wants to be a model. She wants to hear she's beautiful, she's beautiful. I want to save you. Dressed by dawn and out the door, no lights, she memorized the floor so she could leave without being detected. She works 'til three it's uniform. She dreams that he'll come by the store, she prays for days when boys means she's protected. And she wants someone to see her. She needs to hear she's beautiful, she's beautiful. And she won't sleep, she won't sleep at all. Let me save you.

"Punk Rock Princess" Maybe when the room is empty. Maybe when the bottles full. Maybe when the door gets broke down, love can break in. Maybe when I'm done with thinking. Maybe you can think me whole. Maybe when I'm done with endings, this can begin. This can begin .. If you could be my punk rock princess, I could be your garage band king. You could tell me why you just don't fit in, and how you're gonna be something. Maybe when your hair gets darker. Maybe when your eyes get wide. Maybe when the walls are smaller, there will be more space. Maybe when I'm not so tired. Maybe you could step inside. Maybe when I look for things that I can't replace... If I could be your first real heartache, I would do it over again. If you could be my punk rock princess, I would be your heroine. I never thought you'd last, I never dreamed you would. Watch your life go past, you wonder if you should. You know you only burn my bridges, you know you just can't let it sink in. You could be my heroine.

"I Woke Up In A Car" I woke up in New York City from my sleep behind the wheel. Caught a train to Poughkeepsie, and time stood still. She wrote me a letter from San Diego to qualify her luck. These flights connect through Arizona, but I think I'll stay stuck. Here I am. I woke up in a car, I traced away the fog so I could see the Mississippi on her knees. I've never been so lost, I've never felt so much at home. Please write my folks and throw away my keys. I woke up in a car. I met a girl who kept tattoos for homes that she had loved. If I were her I'd paint my body, til all my skin was gone. She wrote me a letter as we passed through Rockford, she said she won't forget. Maybe I do, maybe I don't, but I know I haven't yet. But here I am. Maybe I could live forever. If not ever I had known, that you'd be waiting there whenever, I am all alone. But here I am.

"iF yoU C Jordan" I have a story, a bitter anthem for everyone to hear about this kid who just don't like me, and that's a solid fact. They say he's hunting me and as you see, I'm all swelled up in fear, 'cuz I can't get him off my back. If you see Jordan, He makes me sick. High school's over, and you still won't quit. You tried to to fight me down at Tyler's beach and man I think that's great. You nearly cried and said to yell at you, Like I do at all the girls. Then you drove home real quick, did you make in time to masturbate? There's one too many of you in this world. You say it's chivalry, but it's jealousy that led us this song. Won't play it often, just atleast until you're gone. You'll stop at nothing but the real thing and everything up to that's pretend. You tried to brainwash all my friends. Fuck you Jordan, you make me sick. Highschool's over, I don't care if you dye your hair, you'll always be a little red head bitch.

"The Astornaut" I've been sleeping with ghosts. I've been watching the stars crawling out of the sky. I've been hoping I'm close to the spaceman movies I call my life. And I've been climbing ladders through time. I've got tunnel vision, but I'm doing fine. And I've been watching stars coming off the wall, and maybe if I'm lucky, I could catch them before you fall. And you are not alone. Calling out to the astronaut, I need some of what you've got. I need to be high. Crawling out of a world she bought Calling out to the astronaut, I need to be high. I've been holding, this microphone. And I've been channeling but I think we're alone. I've got platinum vision and a tin foil touch. I've got you to propel me but I still need so much, not to be alone. You are not alone.. Calling out to the astronaut, I need some of what you've got. I need to be high. I disappear in the world she bought, calling out to the astronaut, I need to be high.

"Hurricane" Shake down you make me break, for goodness sake, I think I'm on the edge, of something new with you. Shout out, don't drown the sound out, I'll drown you out, you'll never scream so loud, as I wanna scream with you. Standing there with your smile blinding, your eyes from seeing my face as I'm dying to figure out a girl. But she drifts so far away, I'm on a coast so maybe I should stay and map around your world. So don't say "these currents are still killing me" and you can't explain, but the wind went and pulled me into the Hurricane. Stand up, don't make a sound, your ears might bleed there sweet fluorescent enemies, that live inside of me. The world moves faster then I knew, not fast enough to not creep up on you and the space we put between. So pull me under your weather patterns, your cold fronts and the rain don't matter, because a sun burns, what I needed. You don't do it on purpose but you make me shake, gonna count the hours, til you wake with your babies breath breathe symphonies. Come on sweet catastrophes. Well, maybe this time I can follow through, feel complete stop paying dues. Stop the rain from falling, keep my oceans calm. This time I know, nothing's wrong.

"Cavanaugh Park" At Cavanaugh Park, where I used to sit all alone in the dark, and dream about things that I cannot say. You always said destiny would blow me away. And nothing's gonna blow me away. At Cavanaugh Park Where you used to take me to play in the sand, and said to me "Son, one day you'll be a man and men can do terrible things, yes they can." There was never any place for someone like me to be, totally happy. I'm clock and that ain't a shock, some things never do change. Never do change. At Cavanaugh Park, we used to get high watching teams as they fought. They loved my friend Adam, but he always got caught. Man, that kid made fucking up look cool. Aren't we all so cool? At Cavanaugh Park, where I used to think that this life would be good, and I would do things that I thought that I should, and nothing's gonna tear me down.

"Fall" I close my eyes, thought I was lost but I was stranded. I go outside, to my surprise the sky had landed. I thought it made more sense if I could only keep you guessing, I was a fool to think that I should stop you from undressing. Now I'm believing all the words you say that I can't take back to you. To you. So I fall, I don't want to feel this small, you know I just can't handle this, handle this at all. And I'll just fall, I let my heartbeat stop, I falter as the music stops and you watch me as I stall and wonder when I fall. I kiss your neck. I feel you breathing on my shoulder. Sill I'm perfect, it must be you 'cuz now it's over. I was so close this was the most that I had ever been through, now old cassettes and cigarettes will be the one to save you. How can you ask for me to stay when all you ever do is go? Just go. Go on, you've kept me waiting. Go on, and watch me as I fall. I don't want to feel this small, you know I just can't handle this, handle this at all. And so I fall, and I let my heartbeat drop, I falter as the music stops and you watch me as I stall, and wonder when I ..

"Straw Dog" Staring into the intersection, she thinks that she can fly and she might, holding on in a new direction, she's gonna try it tonight. The closer I get to feeling, the further that I'm feeling from alright. The more I step into the sun, the more I step out of the light. Jessica is covered in a blanket on a Sunday porch, thinking of weekends she would party in the city. She doesn't have a flame, she'd prefer to burn out like a torch. If she gets nowhere in life, at least she knows she pretty. Hey now, the straw dogs out in the street. Hey now, there are chemicals in the clouds. Hey now, they're calling all the police, but they won't get us anyhow. The moon is shining now and the shadow are what's left of all the noise, simple silhouettes and cutouts, as if we had the choice. He listens closely now, swears that he can hear a voice calling him and saying hey now, the straw dogs out in the street. Hey now, there are chemicals in the clouds. Hey now, they're calling all the police, but they won't get us anyhow. What does it take to be a super hero, in my world? Make no mistake that these villians always get the girl. We can escape and then we'll skate away from all of this, but no one ever does.

"Good News" She's trapped inside her room with reruns on the screen. Old books and movies, but she can't stop thinking. I'm torn between myself, my radio, my friends. I want to write this one off over and over again. And then she looked at me to scream, "My Castles are falling." But I can't look into the street, without everything changing. I want to read good news, I want to be innocent again. I want to read good news, but nothing good is happening. She waits all day. She stands a stranger in her skin. She moves the science with her hands. She lines her walls with every paper she can see. These words consume her but they never set her free. And then she looked at me to scream, "My castles are falling." But I can't look into the street without everything changing. I want to read good news, I want to be innocent again. I want to read good news, but nothing good is happening. I want to read good news, I want to be a little kid again. I want to read good news, but nothing good is happening. I was to read good news, I want to go to sleep at night again. I want to read good news, but nothing good is happening.

"Drunk Girl" I kissed a drunk girl, I kissed a drunk girl, yes I did. I kissed a drunk girl on the lips. I let my gaurd down, how could I have been so dumb? Her eyes were open, I know I am not the one. I kissed a drunk girl. Why do I do these things I do to myself? I kissed a drunk girl, and I'm sure I could have been anybody else. I went to her house, and everybody there was gone. Her little cousin just passed out on the lawn. We walked to my car, she mouthed "Is everything okay?" She leaned in slowly, so now I can say... I kissed a drunk girl. Why do I do these things I do to myself? I kissed a drunk girl, and I'm sure I could have been anybody else. I pulled away. I didn't think it would be right. I said "Let's save this for another night." And she said "No, no, no I know that everything is gonna be just fine" How could I do this when I want her to be all mine. I know you don't care about me. I'm sure when all is said and done and I go home feeling lonely and you will have had your fun, do you even remember?

"Not What It Seems" A long day, if ever these questions were yours, what would you say? I don't know, but I'm writing the answers on cheap paper napkins. And now he turning off, and now she's shutting down. It's not what it seems, nothing's the same when you give it away. No it's not what it seems, it's just what you think it is. And this fights, they climb through my veins like it's mercury rising. And these nights, I seem to remember a home that was better. And now he's turning off, and now she's shutting down. Now he's turning off, the family is breaking down. It's just what you think it is.

"You're Gone" Taking steps back through the words I should have said to you, they all got lost, you went away. Well I feel sick and you just don't care anymore. Hours to be with you, minutes of me in you, and I can't feel this happening. So tie my hands back and make me feel you coming down. I'm coming down. And you don't care, your face is on a billboard and you're everywhere. You don't care much for interviews, you're gone. You're gone away. If you don't like being hurt, then please don't stay. It's hard to wave goodbye, from airplanes when I just don't think that you can see. I taper off and say it's never worth the pain.. sometimes it is. God I wish that I could make this right, I wish that that there was something worth the time, for her to give to me. A phone call from LA is my present. There's nothing left for me to give. I wish I could, and I know that I should but you know, I know, I won't. If you don't like being hurt then get away, if you don't like being hurt then please don't stay.

"Globes and Maps" Light breaks underneath a heavy door. And I try to keep myself awake. Fall all around us on a hotel floor, and you think that you've made a mistake and there's a pain in my stomach. From another sleepless binge and I struggle to get myself up again. I want to hang onto something that won't break or fall apart like the pieces of my heart. Globes and maps are all around me now. I want to feel you breath me. Globes and maps I see surround you here. Why won't you believe me? Globes and maps they chart your way back home. Do you want to leave or something? Dreams came around you in a hazy rain. You open your mouth wide to feel them fall and I write a letter from a one way train, but I don't think you read it at all. I can't take this anymore. I know I can't take this anymore. I can't take this anymore cuz I know someday I'll see you walk out that door.

"Konstantine"I can't imagine all the people that you know, or the places that you go, when the lights are turned down low. And I don't understand all the things you've seen, but I'm slipping in between, you and your big dreams. It's always you and my big dreams. And you tell me, that it's over. Wake up lying in a patch, of four leaf clovers. And you're restless, and I'm naked. You've gotta get out, you can't stand to see me shaking. No, could you let me go? I didn't think so. And you don't wanna be here in the future. So you say "The present's just a pleasant interruption to the past." And you don't wanna look much closer, cuz you're afraid to find out all this hope you had sent into the sky by now crashed. And it did, because of me. And then you bring me home, afraid to find out that you're alone. And I'm sleeping in your living room, but we don't have much room, to live. I had these dreams that I learned to play guitar, maybe cross the country, become a rockstar. And there was hope in my that I could take you there. But damn you're so young, well I don't think I care. And if I hurt you, then I'm sorry. Please don't think that this was easy. And then you bring me home, cuz we both know what it's like to be alone. And I'm dreaming in your living room, but we don't have much room, to live. And Konstantine is walking down the stairs, doesn't she look good, standing in her underwear? And I was thinking, what I was thinking; we've been drinking and it doesn't get us anywhere. And my Konstantine came walking down the stairs and all that I could do was touch her long, blonde, hair. And I've been thinking, it hurts me thinking that these nights when we were drinking, no they never got us anywhere. No. This is because I can spell "Konfusion" with a "K" and I can like it. It's dying in another's arms and why I had to try it. It's to Jimmy Eat World and those nights in my car, when the first star you see may not be a star. I'm not your star, isn't that what you said? What you thought this song meant? And if this is what it takes, just to lie in my mistakes and to live with what I did to you and all the hell I put you through. I always catch the clock, it's 11:11 and you wanna talk. It's not hard to dream, you'll always be my Konstantine. Konstantine, they'll never hurt you like I do, no they'll never hurt you like I do. No... This is to a girl who got into my head with all the pretty things she did. Hey, you know you keep me up in bed. This is to a girl who got into my head with all the fucked up things I did. Hey, maybe, baby, you could keep me up in bed. Spin around me like a dream we played out on the movie screen, and I said "Did you know I missed you?" Oh God, I miss you. And then you bring me home, we'll go to sleep, but this time not alone, no. And you'll kiss me in your living room. I know, you'll miss me in your living room. I know, you'll miss me in your living room. Cuz these nights I think that maybe I will miss you in my living room. We don't have much room .. I said does any one need that room? Because we all need a little more room .. to live. My Konstantine

"Bad Days" It's been a bad day, another bad day and all I want to do is look at you and know I'm okay. From where I'm sitting these shoes ain't fitting and I'm walking backwards, looking down, don't see the sky I see the ground. Above below you look and so you wonder, where the time has gone of looking up, tomorrows on its way. Above below you look and so you say, when I wake up in the morning is it 'gonna be another ugly day. She sits in church its 2 pm and look whose back from work again. I guess they thought your better off, without this life, without a job. From where I'm sitting these shoes ain't fitting and I'm going nowhere, killing time, just trying to feed my bleeding mind. It's been a bad day, another bad day and I cross my heart and hope to die, these dreams of yours are 'gonna fly.

"Little" Climbing out of the sky a man who could fly and a painting anyone could play. It's a comic book crush that taught you to trust. Staring out of the stands at a rock n roll band and a hero no one else could save, it was never much but it's all that you gave.And I wonder if you wonder, or did your stars finally explode? Did the thunder pull you underneath the haze? I'm amazed, than I let go. Little minds let little games burn big old dreams with little flames, and you don't think I understand. Little holes in parachutes won't leave you falling, if they do, it's because you want to land. Climbing out of his chair to fix the T.V. glare is a man but no one knows he's there. It's a Dramamine dream that kept them alive but lost. She's got her plastic friends and a brand new Benz and she laughs, "Hell, sometimes life ain't fair" It's a comic book crush that got them nowhere. These elevator doors are closing again you leave before I planned. I taste you walking down the hall. You left your perfume on the nightstand.

"Walking By" Your grand dad left home for the circus. He was young just like me, with hope to explore. He married a girl in Virginia. She could swing the trapeze; they could sleep on the floor. Your mother was born in December, on the one sunny day that winter gave up. She had warm summer eyes that flickered like fireflies, when she stared at the world. So why do you leave these stories unfinished, my Cheshire cat doorstop with tears in her eyes? Why do you look when you've already found it? What did you find that could leave you walking by? She was raised in a New England village. Then she moved to LA with her firefly stare, and you loved sunset strip when it sparkled, you grew up and you sparkled but why don't you care? So why do you leave these stories unfinished, my Cheshire cat doorstop with tears in her eyes? Why do you look when you've already found me? What did you find that could leave you walking by? These nights I get high just from breathing. When I lie here with you I'm sure that I'm real, like that firework over the freeway. I could stay here all day but that's not how you feel. So why do you leave these questions unanswered? The circus awaits and you're already gone. My Cheshire cat doorstop with fear in your smile, what makes it so easy for you to be walking by? And what did I do that you can't seem to want me? Why do we lie here and whisper goodbyes? Where can I go that your pictures won't haunt me? What makes it so easy for you to be walking by? <

b>"Forgot December" On Christmas morning outside it was pouring, all was hopeless in this home, and no one speaking, no one creeping to see if she was on the phone. And you were quiet. This routine riot is all but practical to me, and if we see it why can't we be it? Can we let each other be? Forget December. It won't be better than I remember it before and this month only would be so lonely and not so homely anymore. New Year's Eve came, but nothing had changed. All the problems just got worse. We sat in silence, the routine science could heal the sickness we reherse and if I'm talking, my words are mocking the deaf ears they have fallen on. These words are tainted with years of jaded in a sense that's all but gone. Forget December, it won't be better than I remember it before and this month only, would be so lonely, and not so homely anymore..a nymore... anymore...anymore...Forget December, it won't be better than I remember it before and this month only, would be so lonely, and not so homely anymore. Forget December, it won't be better than I remember it before. A silent night won't feel quite right, it's not so silent anymore.. anymore... anymore... anymore... On Christmas morning, outside it was pouring, all was hopeless in this home.

"Airports" "You little creep", That's what she said, "these quotes from your mother, get better every day. And you'll be nothing, just like your father", at least that's what the kids at school say. And Jamie spent her Christmas at the Airport, She said planes made her feel like she could get away. And I spent Christmas in a detox ward, I wish I had an Airport... Someday... Cause somedays are just so hard. And we hung like space stations and rocketship and dreamed like we were things of the sky. We dressed like kings and queens and lovers, And shouted out into the night "we're never gonna die". And I've waited here for hours, hoping that you'd call, And my dialing finger's tired, and your machine is full. And I've taken 18 showers just to pass the time, And that fucking phone just rang, but it wasn't you on the line. (And you don't seem to mind) And it was New Year's Eve, but I was thinking of the summer, knowing that at midnight you wouldn't be around. And they say children make the greatest soldiers, they do just like they're told, and take up less space on the ground. And it seems to me that we'd been here before. Where were you when I was at the airport, where were you when I wanted to fly? Tell me where you were when I was at the airport, these planes fall from the sky. And I wish I had an airport, somedays, Cause some days are just so hard.

"Babies of the 80's" I grew up on five-alive, And transformers and slip-n-slide. Toy's R Us and Chuck-e-Cheeze, Disco out and techno in to synthesize my favorite sin. And here I am on my knees, To get it back again. Babies of the 80's, Little girls in lycra shorts. Tented beds, nerf contact sports. My babies of the 80's, Shout it out just one more time, For the generation that was all mine. We learned to crawl on linoleum floors. Ronald Regan fought Star Wars, But he'll never be Han Solo. Students march Tienemen Square, They took him out hey that's not fair, Dad said "it's good to be free", As we watched from our T.V. Babies of the 80's, Little girls in lycra shorts. Tented beds, nerf contact sports. My babies of the 80's, Shout it out just one more time, For the generation that was all mine. We watched the wall fall down. Woke up early for Bozo the clown, MTV and Nick at Night. And I slept for the first time, Without the light, without the light, without the light (one two one two three go) My Babies of the 80's, **Little girls in jelly shoes, got the ferris bueller blues** My babies of the 80's, this could be something after? Who knew this could be something after,Who knew this could be something after, Who Knew?

"Ben Franklen's Kite"Give me an answer Why this cancer eats me away, How this restlessness Could turn into a day. I fear what comes first, The things that hide in the night, But I'm quaking, and shaking Even now that it's light. And no I don't feel right. I can see but I've lost my sight. I'm high, so high, Like Ben Franklin's Kite. And maybe you'll find me, On another lonely street. By the smell of summer, after she rains, Maybe you'll loose me All together in her heat, Let this humid air Take away my pain. And no I don't feel right, I can see but I've lost my sight 'cause I'm high, so high, Like Ben Franklin's Kite. Maybe you're weary, You always stand so tall. Maybe you, holier than thou, Will make me crawl. I don't claim to be better, I don't think that you do, But see I'm weak and incessinct, My addictions the proof. And no I don't feel right, I can see but I've lost my sight, I'm high, so high Like Ben Franklin's Kite. And maybe I'm crazy, But lightning might strike me tonight. And Maybe I'm crazy, But lightning might strike me tonight.

"Caldecott Tunnel"They're closing down the caldecott tunnel, so tonight I'll dream she's the bridge. I never knew there'd be distance between us, what I've done cannot be repeated... And I've got scars I'm willing to show you, you had heart that I'll never see, she had answers to all the wrong questions, It's funny these answers are all that I need. Carry me, carry me softly, let her down easy so she doesn't know. Carry me, carry me waiting, Let her down easy so she can let go. Tore down your freeway, built her an airplane, It's crazy the things we made in the sky. So picture me drowning, pretending I'm happy, we end up regreting the things.. We don't try. Carry me, carry me softly, let her down easy so she doesn't know. Carry me, carry me waiting, Let her down easy so she can let go. Here with my problems I don't need the light, they're bigger than darkness and darker than night. I leave on a promise of something that shines, perfection ain't perfect a leaver will find. I find this all the time. Carry me, carry me softly, let her down easy so she doesn't know. Carry me, carry me waiting, Let her down easy so she can let go.

"I Don't Want a Job" Departures are so hard You say. Packing up your things, Your necklaces and rings, Your darvidan and morphine. You can't believe the actor, Smacked her, Gave her a black eye. There's something in a western winter, Where it's easier to say, "Goodbye, Goodbye". These yellow lights are turning red (turning red), You starve your heart, You starve your head. And when its over, You go back to bed. I don't want a job, I don't want to go to school. I don't want a job, I've got more important things to do. You keep in touch with old friends, I keep in touch with you. Your begging me to make Every little word count, I don't now but I used to. You still do drugs, I still play games. You prefer not knowing I call you names In flights of fancy, Grandeur and fame. Goodbye goodbye. These yellow lights are turning red (turning red), You starve your heart, You starve your head. And when its over, You go back to bed. I don't want a job, I don't want to go to school. I don't want a job, I've got more important things to do. Wake up to the thought of you. It's December, remember How cold it was in my garage. You sat with your legs crossed and your heart lost mine lost in losing you. Street lights like a christmas tree, But the fires aren't burning Cuz it's 80 degrees and I'd like to have you alone. In my favorite cologne, With the air on your hair and we're still getting stoned. It's a shame the games we play, But I like it that way. These yellow lights are turning red (turning red). You starve your heart, You starve your head, And when its over, You go back to bed. I don't want a job, I don't want to go to school. I don't want a job, I've got more important things to do. More important things to do, Than you.

"If I Die" A train crashed, And everything slows down. I was wishing I could get out of this town. These dreams we've had, have never made you cry, And I am not a twinkle in your eye. But I've got to get out of here, Cuz you drive me up the wall. I've got to get out of here, Cuz I can't stand to fall. And If I die, see you won't be so close to me, And I won't be the one Who sticks around. If I'm awake see you won't go to sleep, I promise. And I won't be the one Who lets you down. Tailgates, long talks, And your superficial friends. Shiny, silver Fords That lead us to dead ends. And I said do you lick these salty wounds, That you, yourself condone. I sit, wait, and I'm all alone But I can't go home 'Cause you're my home. If I die see you won't be so close to me, And I won't be the one Who sticks around. If I'm awake see you won't go to sleep, I promise, And I won't be the one Who lets you down, No, I won't let you down. No, I won't let you down. Tell me where you are tonight And is everything alright? Do you remember what I said, While he's sleeping in your bed? tell me now you Smile hard, cuz I don't smile much so far, And is he everything you need? Is he everything I couldn't be? Does he make everything match better? Bring you all the shiny weather that you want? And is he everything, everything I'm not? And If I die, You won't be so close to me, And I won't be the one Who sticks around. If I'm awake see you won't go to sleep, I promise And I won't be the one Who lets you down. No, I won't let you down, no, I won't let you down, I won't let you down, I won't let you down.

"If I Were A Terrorist (I would Bomb Your Graduation)" She's out of school again, But she won't be calling from where she is going, the lines are jammed this time. What could a girl like her need with a slacker like me? If I were a terrorist, I'd bomb you're graduation. If I were a terrorist, there'd be no hesitation. So I'm going on tour with the band, She said "Stay for the summer" but she don't understand That the radio plays what they want you to hear and I want them to play you your love song this year. If I were a terrorist, I'd bomb you're graduation. If I were a terrorist, there'd be no hesitation. The cameras are flashing, Her black robe is passing, and there I am chilled to my bones, This is the year my girlfirends leaving home. She'll probably end up with a frat guy, She'll probably get pinned while I sleep in the van. I'm sure she'll be home for thanksgiving, I'll send her a picture of me making out with a fan... And... If I were a terrorist, I'd bomb you're graduation. If I were a terrorist, there'd be no hesitation. The cameras are flashing, Her black robe is passing and there I am chilled to my bones. This is the year my girlfirends leaving, this is the year my girlfriends leaving ,this is the year my girlfriends leaving home.

"Inside The Pocket" I met you last month at a party. You brought me up, you brought me down. You came to me last night as an apparation, Now you came around. What's with you and all your talk of independence? What's with me and my lack of innocence? Keep it locked up inside the pocket. And maybe I will sleep, I'll be right there inside the pocket, And you'll be knee deep. My palms were sweaty and my heart grew big. My leg, my leg was shaking. How badly I wanted you with me You came to me and said "This could be something". I'll take something over nothing anyday. What's with me and the way that I've been lately? What's with you and the way you make me feel? Keep it locked up inside the pocket, And maybe I will sleep. I'll be right there inside the pocket And you'll be knee deep. And I'm scared, 'Cause these things fall apart, Electric baby. And I've known it from the start. So please forgive me for being like I am, But I'll take you if I can Keep it locked up inside the pocket, And maybe I will sleep. I'll be right there inside the pocket, And you'll be knee deep, Oooooooh.

"Letters To Noelle" Letters to Noelle, Marked up cardboard boxes fell. I fell with them, Crushed like them, I am. Letters to Noelle. Years of waiting, nothing fading. Emptied out my pen, Carved the rest into my hand. Letters to Noelle. Written from my darkest cell, Filling up my wishing well, Waiting on their return. But the driveway's clear. You pray for silence, Step into my quiet violence. Do you see pictures in my words? Standing still, I'm moving faster, Searching out my next disaster. You're gonna get what you deserve. Letter to Noelle. I see them in a box inside a case, That she keeps locked up in a place I'll never be. Letters to Noelle, I emptied out my veins onto a page. Set to a scream you just can't gauge. She cannot see what's inside of me. But the driveway's clear. You pray for silence, Step into my quiet violence. Do you see pictures in my words? Standing still, I'm moving faster. Searching out my next disaster. You're gonna get what you deserve. Letters to Noelle. Tied on ribbons in my brain. Obsession don't give way to pain, I know that now. I know that now.

"Mulligan Goes To War" He graduated with a degree in Poli-Sci. Premeditated what he would do until he died, And then he faded into a never-rising sky, Surfaced in the airforce, then learned how to fly. Mulligan goes to war, Mulligan goes to war. The days are gone when he could tell you what he's fighting for. Mulligan goes to war. Flew helicopters with a patriotic grin. Built up brick walls, rarely letting people in. Had his pitfalls and he lived a life of sin That life is over now, the new one must begin. Mulligan goes to war Mulligan goes to war. The days are gone when he could tell you what he's fighting for. Mulligan goes to war. We all gotta go sometimes. Made his living selling real estate. Met his first wife, she came much too late, To save the low man, he was slowly growing mad. He lost his business, the economy went bad. Mulligan goes to war, Mulligan goes to war. The days are gone when he could tell you what he's fighting for. Mulligan goes to war.

"Plucked" (This goes out to the radio stations going out to you...) Lucy, I've confessions. don't think you ought to know. Lets just sit back, Forget about what's past. You see my longs are wet with age, Beyond what I can show. This is the first time, It's not the last, it's not the last. And it's been long since i've moved, Long since I've grooved on And now my empty chorus falls on empty ears. Since I left LA days ago The concert made me crave the shows, And times when I could be more cavalier. Don't you look away too long. You see I've got something you might need. Don't look away too long. I said you may not believe and I just may concede. Holding onto what is right, The truth escaped me twice last night. In clouds of smoke and scattered ash, With visions of an empty hall, While wiggers crowd the shopping malls, And overzealous DJ's that ghetto blasted rap. Don't you look away too long, You see I've got something you might need. Don't look away too long, I said you may not believe and I just may concede. hey.. (Chicka uh) Lucy, I've confessions I dont think you want to know. Let's just sit back, forget about what's past. You see there are places that we shouldn't go and not so fast. Don't you look away too long, You see I've got something you might need. Don't look away too long. I said you may not believe and I just may concede don't don't don't don't look away too long. You see I've got something you might need. Don't look away too long, I said you may not believe and I just may concede.

"Spin" So you've been knocked and you've been thrown, and you've run all the way back home. Saying you were searching for a reason, And you cried years so much before. You won't cry much anymore. Roll with the punches, Gonna leave it all behind. These highway signs areA sign of the time. If you wanna spin, Get yourself back in the game again. Throw down your money, Maybe you could win. But this world won't stop, So never stop, just spin. I've been there once or twice before, Destiny knocking at my door. But destiny only seemed to erase The happiness once where the ruins replaced. And you said this world treated you cruel, Played with your head, then played you the fool. Leave it all behind, don't let it get you down. If anything, you can be a clown. If you wanna spin, Get yourself back in the game again. Throw down your money, Maybe you could win. But this world won't stop, So never stop, just spin. And this place is cold. And you're feeling older now, And your body hangs. And you fear you won't get out. Suck it up, breathe it deep, Wake up from this creeping sleep. Turn around and around and around and around. Yeah, just spin. If you wanna spin, Get yourself back in the game again. Throw down your money, Maybe you could win, But this world won't stop. So never stop, just spin.

"Wait" I can hear ticking clocks, Running rampant in Me, chiming in apogee. Waiting for the cynergy, Of Her and Me waiting on the light. And I Never say goodnight, Never say that i'm always right. Now in you girl, I'm consent to drown. You're High and Im so Down. This Night'll end sooner, But much sooner now. Im awake in you and You're Asleep in me, All the things i'll never be. Make me Wonder could you see. And I Said, "Wait, till i hit the ground Harder. Wish i could Wait, To i could hear your heartbeat fast. Wish i could wait Till i missed her flavour. My days are numbered here, and i dont want to be the last one Home, don't want to be the last one home." Though Im weak inside, I'm thriving just the same, Still Calling out your name. Wondering who it is that i should blame. Stabbing Hard and Burried, Conciousness and fear. Forgetting others i hold Dear. Wontcha maybe could you hear. And I said To,"Wait, till i hit the ground Harder Wish i could Wait, To hear your heartbeat fast. Wish i could wait Till i missed her flavour. My days are numbered here and i dont want to be the last one Home. no no no the last one home(Oh here we go...) There you are baby, just waiting on the sun. Just Staring at the sky said "When will he be done" and i said there you are baby waiting on the sun, staring at the sky said "when will he be done when will he be done" and i wish i could wait, Till i see you shaking. wish i could wait to pull out of this one fast. wish i could wait till i taste your flavour, and maybe i can savour every last drop and i said, "Wait, till i hit the ground Harder. Wish i could Wait, to hear to hear your heartbeat fast. Wish i could wait to see you shaking. My days are numbered here and i dont want to be the last one Home. the last one home, the last one home.
