Standing around, twirling my thumbs next to you I know, I know...I do not know what to say here Don't go, don't go; I do not know a good reason to I don't need no explanations or excuses from you If there's anything I could offer you If there was anything I could do Once when I was younger I imagined amazing Don't know what I discovered But it sounds like what you're saying And it's as easy as breathing If breathing were hard to do Now I've got this feeling That I'm too far from you We can just sit; we can just watch the sun

I am afraid of the dark Scared of what I cannot see I do not know who you are But you gave me what I needed the most I cannot come out to play Tomorrow but not today What was that you heard me say? I promise I didn't mean it that way I am not to blame Throw it all on the front lawn Everything you want to keep Give it up for the one you love Give it up for the one you needed the most I am afraid of the dark

Nap Sack 02:57
These days it's hard to say if I'm here to stay So I keep my bags packed in the driveway At night it feels like a car crash in my mind So I switch sides and try to find peace of mind It's cool now, the sun's down and it's quiet in my house So I try to pay no mind to the loud sounds outside

My Ave 03:03
When I'm in the neighborhood And I hear somebody call my by name I wonder if it's you out there? Tell me, do you know me by name? When I'm in the streets and I See someone I think that I might know Tell me, is it you out there? I wonder, are we on the same road? When I'm in the woods and I Don't know how to get myself out I wonder, would you take me home? I hope I didn't freak you out And when I call you It's only 'cause I really needed to call you and say Remember when we first met And I was too scared to talk? I had some things I wanted to say but I'm sure you've heard them all But I would've meant it Every single word If I actually said it If I grew some courage Hey, hey

I won't write you off, no You're not that lucky You could throw me anywhere I don't think much would change I think that I would be the same I think that I would feel the same I think that I would think the same I think that I would be the same I couldn't talk you down, no From being up so high I forgot to cross my Ts And dot my Is You could drag it out Like a boxing match that you can't lose I won't be around, no For a minute or two 'Cause I don't mind the weather But there's somethin' 'bout the atmosphere around here That I don't like

I got your dollar store heart at a designer price If I could get some money back, well, that would be nice It took a lot of luck just to get me here If I could get home, I'd be luckier still I've got a dollar in my pocket and I'll buy it back I never thought I'd miss it so bad I got your dollar store heart at a discount price It only works if you hold it just right It takes a lot of luck just to figure it out Well, that's what we've all been worryin' about I got some money in my pocket and I'll spend it all Never even heard of it tomorrow I got your dollar store heart at a dollar store price And designer dreams for a discount life A lot to think a whole lot about Lots of time to figure it out I got a dollar in my pocket; you can have it back Turns out I didn't need it so bad "I think that was a lot better!"

Leave me with the women and children I don't think I'm strong enough Firetruck's coming to bring the ladder This tree is too tall and I'm just a kitten You gave me a chance that I didn't earn yet Like when daddy coached the little league team And all I want is to sit on the bench Warm it up for someone better You act like I am the best We're all fucked if there's no one better here to clean up I'm doing laps now around the school dance So no one sees me standing alone Give it a rest, man, I think they're watching And it looks like you just woke up I'm up next and I'd rather not be He throws real fast for someone in sixth grade

Beach Song 2 01:51
I'll just sit back I'll just relax Watch 'em go by Couldn't make a better plan I couldn't make a better plan If I tried I'll just go back I'll just relapse It's alright I could be a better man I swear I'll be a better man The next time I could be a dark knight Or I could be a white light I don't know I could be a road map Or I could be a car crash Let's just go I could be a pretty thing Or I could be a diamond ring It's all for show I could be a pot of gold At the end of an old Rainbow You can take a long time I can wait my whole life Whatever you like You could be the moonshine Or you could be the starlight The whole night You could just sit there You don't have to comb your hair You look just fine But I don't want to sit back I don't want to relax And watch it go by

My Bear 03:09
Graceful as I lay down Wishing that you were around Sometimes I can't fall asleep So I think of what you said to me You said, "I don't know what to believe But hell, I need to do something" So wide-eyed on the front porch of the world Shirt's pressed and folded up Like it didn't know what a wrinkle was Brows furrowed from the stress My head's burrowed in your chest How could I understand what you're gonna do Understand what you're going through Shoes polished on your feet Bed's made up and looking neat And you know just what it is Stay quiet, don't say it Our secret is written all over my face

When I meet the choirs of the angels I'll try and sing along Back when you met the choirs of the angels You sang a prettier song (We are sweet dreams real as we seem We don't happen to be anything) And now I find out it's made of roses Now I find out it's under our noses You made it real, so real it's going You're unreal but you don't know it Not that big of a deal, I just hoped you would notice And now I And now I'm so much braver Now I know why I am waking I remember this plan we're making The world is mine but I saw you take it Hearts were hearts before they were breaking And I'm still fine with second place And now I And now I'm so much braver I can't wait until I can show you What I've dreamt up, my eyes like showrooms Look inside then it goes unnoticed Just believe me, we're getting closer We're okay, so okay, I'll get going now (I hear wingbeats as the sun leaks Gold drops to clean everything) And now I And now I'm so much braver
