Remember Me?
03:37
|
|||
|
do you remember me
the way I used to be
the way I used to talk
always incessantly talk
about nothin' at all
do you remember me
the way I used to be
the way I used to act
like I was about to have
a heart attack
do you remember me
all of the ways I used to be
oh I, I could be mean
oh I, I would try to control everything
everything
I'm not still tryin'
to get on your good side
I'm not still tryin'
to get to get a rise
I'm just tryin'
to apologize

PFFFFT!

you moved
into our town
we talked
about gunnin' our enemies down
and then we had
a young unmarried
english teacher
who thought she had us
figured out
I still get a laugh
when I think about
the hell we put her through
me and you
it was so
so easy
to devise
our peaceful
protest
not breaking
any of the rules
just acting
disrespectful
I guess our
parents really fucked us up
and we're holding you responsible
really fucked us up
now we're holding you responsible
pfffft chh
pfffft chh
tchh

Halloween
06:47
|

never got invited to a girl's party
never got in trouble at school just for talking
and I never had such a good friend
few more months it'll come to an end
I dressed up like Mulder from the TV
I brought a bag for all the candy
but I don't remember goin' up to the houses
I just remember walking in the streets
and all of us laughing
and all the guys were dancing
to barbie girl
you don't have to dress up like a witch
I knew I knew I knew I knew
you had strange powers the first time
I saw I saw you
and I was proven true
because boys fought and died for you
used to remind me of laura palmer
in all the right and all the wrong ways
and that time I went with you to the mall
I sensed something strange with your brother
can't believe I got permission to go
you liked attention
you were just like me
I don't think I ever
wanted wanted to be
anyone more
anyone more
I was so glad to see
that you finally kicked
I was so glad so glad so glad to see
you're still
you're still
the fuckin' shit

every day after school
you would come over
and we would be alone
for at least a couple hours
before my mom came home
I don't know what I did
to be
so god damned
lucky
to be
your friend
and now
I realize
how
I
did not
return
the love
you gave
so god damned
freely
I remember driving in your buick
you were telling me about a dream
prophesizing the ins outs of your
delicate
heart
but you see this dream
did not include me
and so I shrugged it off
put it out of your mind
the worst advice
each and every time
I should know
I gave it to myself
a long long time ago
I liked myself better
when I was with you
I liked myself better
when I was with you
I have so much
to pay
you back for
my whole life
woulda been
a fucking disaster
even more
than it was
I know it's true
you know it too
because
you took me under your wing
what did I ever do to be
so lucky

Time Is A Loop
06:50
|
|||
|
I've been here before
and I know I will return
the look of your hair
the shape of the room
and I wonder how much
will it change by then
I tend to make
a lot of revisions
I was a hurt kid
tell me did it show
what would you think
now with everything you know now
if you could somehow
go back now
go back
so many things I said
no taking it back
but I don't know how much damage I did
you didn't seem to react
time
they say it flies
but I
I know it's a still fluid
you can swim through it
and if you open up your hand
if you open up your hand
maybe I could rescue you from the past
oh oh oh
time is a loop
if there's something you need to do
time is a loop
if there's something you still need to do
well, do it
it's comin' back around
don't keep your head down
don't keep your head down
don't keep your head down
time is a loop
if it's true it's still true
time is a loop
I'll always have loved you
I'll always have loved you

Some People
07:13
|

|
some people I know are gone
like paper flowers in a stream
in the woods by the house where I used to sleep
and when I slept I used to dream
of movies and shows and tv
that's all this was then
that's all this was to me
was tv
remember I asked you
we were standing outside
it was the middle of the night
asked you how long had you been a smoker
you said well remember
when everyone used to say
I was burned out worthless
and I made everyone afraid
and we were only 10 or 9 or 8
well I guess it was somewhere around then
when I heard you died
I did not cry
or wonder why oh why
oh why oh why
now there's been several more
of my old acquaintances
shuffling off this mortal plane
and I don't find it hard to explain
why they're not all still here today
am I getting cold
am I getting getting cold
am I am I
if the dead could talk
if the dead could talk
I know what they'd say
if the dead could talk
I know just what they'd say
they'd say live
they'd say live

Stupid Truck
03:29
|

|
thought I'd found someone
who could give a damn
and oh how
you would make me laugh
but I'm tired of always
having to compete with you
when you know damn well
I'd've fought and died for you
for you
I maybe took it for granted
you could love me
I am tired of having to make do
with the little things that seem to
add up to love from you
I don't feel well
this music sucks
I'm tired of riding around
in your stupid truck
I could understand
what they done
I could understand
you're not the only one
and minor betrayals being
what they are
I never held anybody to
that high of a standard
but I don't feel well
I've had enough
tired of riding around
in your stupid truck
in your stupid truck
in your stupid truck
in your stupid truck

Let It In
02:57

the greatest friends I ever had
I didn't know that I had
the greatest friends I ever had
I didn't know that I had
and then it's too late
some things can't wait
if I had it to do over again
you better believe that I would
try to make you understand
that I'd do anything I could
just to let you know
you gotta piece of my soul
just so you understand
you made me who I am
the greatest friend you'll ever have
you might not know that you have
the greatest friend you'll ever have
you might not know that you have
look inside
you can't hide
it's always been a part
open up your heart
let it inside
let it inside
let it inside
let it in

Keys
05:57

keys I lost you
in the door
between being friends
and wanting more
now it chills me
really chills me
to my core
is that
what I thought
friends were for?
how many people
can you talk to in the dark
how many people
make you feel like it's okay
to be who you are
how many people
tell you your two chord
songs are worth
singing along to
(whistling)
keys I remember
sitting on the floor
giving you some bad
advice
keys I remember
wanting to commit murders
and pretending
I was bein' nice
in retrospect
it's gonna be hard to forget
being that much of a tool
to you
so let's make it count
the time is running out
I pray
you didn't change
your ways
unless
it was really for the best
the people you meet
open you up
and the best ones
split you in two
so I'm forever
grateful
to have been marked
by you

that's about it
when you think about it
it all comes down
and it can come down now
for all I care
I was unaware
of being up on a stage
of being up on a stage
no wonder I
was unprepared
somehow you make connections
when you're young
without even trying
it's amazing how close we have become
in my mind become
oh like brothers
in arms
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
if I'm up on a stage
up on a stage
lookin' at my face
all I can say
is I'm not comin' back
I'm not comin' back
I'm not comin' back
to what I was before
I couldn't take it anymore
what about you?
look like you're struggling too
can I carry the weight
can I carry the weight
can I explain
how much it all meant to me
