Girls 02:58
Here in California I stepped in paranoia And twisted my ankle thinking of you I don't remember saying This girl will end up paying Her whole life to the cause of bride and groom These shows make it all better Alive in this great weather Though I can't help but scold the setting sun I wish that I could just not think about girls, in general Prioritize my life with dreams and hopes, drugs and chemicals Don't think it's love or infatuation, just insecurity Convince myself that it's a lonely phase and fear of commitment I'll step in the Pacific And drown myself in linens Then suffocate the sadness from this dream You'll walk right up this mountain Your steps I will be counting I'll trip and fall and roll back down to earth (and you'll start running away) It's not one it's two or three Another day another she Those New York nights I fantasize Or Philadelphia trips, I can't decide

East End 03:52
Little girl, why don't you call out to Jersey City Just a train to separate This filthy river Think she could swim Across to him He'd sink to Hell She'd float on right back towards herself On this side I have it all with notes and love and laughter I still long for the East End and 82nd Does she still cry Through jealous eyes Does she still drink Through bottled wine and shattered glass Why couldn't you just wait here And count up all the times you scared me I wish that I could take it back I'll wonder if you're lonely And sort it out when I'm in therapy Just to start it all again Record these songs just to escape From the thoughts she stars in Reality is cast aside No time for sadness What says the shrink About these dreams Let's write them down In the form of a song and ask Why are there tears Almost been a year and I know I'm better off without you here I hope that you hear these three words from me I apologize for the nights you'd weep I was so obsessed with those Brooklyn lights Forgot what you meant to me I lied

Welcome back to New York City It's been two years since we kissed Became a man started a band to name a few things that you missed I've been waiting for the right time to confess my apathy Instead I pulled her close to me and asked her back into my life I know that we were nervous then and a little bit freaked out Should we relax, are we in love, not sure what's to worry about She looked down deep into my eyes, her arms around my neck Pushed me away, not today, close the door on your way out now I walked on home that night with nothing more than fist to bite and waited for your call I'm drunk and she's sober I'm young but still older than her She's living and I'm dying from all this time inside my mind Welcome back to New York City Can't believe it's been six months Since I declared this love affair For you to shove it down my throat Girl I want you, girl I need you To invade my solitude Use me then I'll use you Throw us out for something new Must we over think and wonder Why not have a little fun She said I'm fucked up and I can't talk And I don't know who to trust I left it felt so wrong not knowing what she saw that fall That scared her all away To my girl and secret love, you probably think this song is scum It's never been so clear, realized my greatest fear You'll go to settle down, replace me for that wedding gown And I'll nod and shake his hand Never ask what could have been And I think what bothers me is that while you have set me free Lost the bond, one to mend Voice of reason, loyal friend And I'll miss you less each year Want to now make sure you hear Final word, current state Tell you one last time, you're great

Grandad 02:24
85 and still alive but might as well be gone I do forget that you exist in this forsaken and forgiving world I hear you preach, and I've watched you teach But where's my lesson learned All those birthday cards you sent do not redeem this relationship These past seven years I drank the tears From the night you flipped the car All of your kids could not imagine how their lives would be turned upside down When you were sick I'd reminisce Of precious grandson times All that I could see were stories of that infamous and fateful night Forgive, forget says that strong man you call your boss But it's hard to practice what you do preach And now I'm drinking, wondering where our time has gone I guess I'll walk your talk, accept your apology When I heard you passed There was no such gasp Or tears to fill my cup Just this pit of guilt and anger towards myself for my own apathy I tried to cry and say goodbye For my old man and his four kin We'll be just fine, we'll do our time Until we meet again in negligence

Heard that you're already hitched because you cannot drive Another man, a brand new job lead you to bluer skies All I can do is hold you tightly in my right hand So I'll toss and turn and scratch and bleed until my pillow stains Never thought I'd be the one to call myself depressed My friends all suck, and exes fucked by other, richer men I'll call on you to guide me through this dark and twisted path But you're preoccupied screwing other guys I'm so mad at God knows what I am so sick of losing air Panic attacks, shortness of breath, I'm just so scared They all think I'm full of shit My life is not so bad So why am I still locked inside These dried out eyes I have Can't help but feel that all I have are songs on this guitar I'd pick it up smash it to the floor if it'll let me fucking breathe

The City 02:19
Night time in my parents house, feeling like that mouse Trapped in his little cell Strapped in and I think back to, all the friends that drew that house we built Two years out and there's still times I fear That you're still here Because I feel dead Weight loss that I never had, look this mirror's sad I'll just write this song Write this song like nothing's wrong New York for the city life, not to meet my wife But for those one nights Instead all the weekends brought were these travel costs and Taco Bell But who am I to cry these stupid eyes, out of these precious lies I still feel as though I lost my way, such a dumb cliche I'll just write this song How will I know that she Is fat and happy How will I know that I Can feel this burning From every show and every girl From every fucking business ploy I can't take this dream anymore

Willis Ave 03:10
25 and I'm high off this paper cut Bleeding through my lip What happened to the days I'd smoke my breath Drown my wits Now I play this card, try to call it fun I'll put a smile on Six chicks, five guys and I'm bored to Tears of do not give a shit 24 and I'm poor off this salary and city dreams Still she walks, never talks through my dirty mind Girl take your time I'll call her up then we'll meet down in Union Square Pretend that I don't care Settle tab, call a cab, rinse, wash, and dry I've become that nice guy Out of the three I like you best today Recall all the fairy tales from the year 2008 Since we are older now Let's drink back to the nights on Willis ave. Cut the cord, shut the door who's 21 Or with fake ID Park up top, set it up, lay the table down Leave your keys Come here girl, we're so in love, baby spend the night And then we'll wake up dead Next to me and not a worry of Life and her false innocence I'm not so old that I can't still remember love Born in this here suburbia And even though we do forget the friends we've lost This road we'll never cross
8.
How do I fall asleep now I whisper to myself Unlock the door and keep drowning Cut this pill say it's natural It takes me right away Into these dreams of ex lovers And I'm tripping Start to crawl on back and I spread my arms to receive you Hold you close through the midnight 'Till I wake up in a sweat Keep me down don't shake me out of this dark fantasy It's all that I have to live out these fucked up therapy dreams In this world you're still smilin' Begging for my touch Up through your hair and in daylight Close my eyes and you're layin' Down inside my head Your body's just as warm as The times I found us on your bed Take me in Don't wake me up

Aphrodite 05:04
My anchor No longer Six nights to the day, said I couldn't stay Thank Jesus Tie off my IV Give me my morphine Please trip me away, tumble down to her place Hello Jesus Hear my cry get me out Of this dark walkabout Down this road tonight to land this laid over flight Thanks to all who stayed on board We're going home I miss her Long to kiss her It's only been weeks, since that day we did meet Still can't shake this My Aphrodite, will you write me? No need for balloons or a large teddy bear Just sound waves I take, you give, I refuse hope Press once, press twice, my angel's time And see your light face 'cause I'm drowse and weak Was this due to my dark, hasty delight?
