Nose Prints

We were jumping in the streets
Oh we were running into traffic
But I just couldn’t tell her no
No I just couldn’t escape the magic
Of the trap she had me in
Of the spell she had me under
But you know it took everything I had in me to muster
The strength to let her go
When it came to that last summer
But I know in my heart of hearts
There will never be another one like you
No there will never be another one like you
No other one like you
And your nose prints on the window
Yeah they serve as a reminder
Of a time when things were simple
Of a time when I could find her
Riding next to me
In that passenger seat
Just excited to be going where we’re going
Wherever that may be
Wherever that may be
But as long as she told you to say hi
I can get by
Cause just the thought that I may be on her mind
Like she’s on mine
And she’s on mine all the time
Yeah I remember sleeping with your weight pressed on my chest
Sinking to the center as air slipped out of that mattress
And we woke up the whole fucking house trying to air that thing back up
But as long as she told you to say hi
I can get by
Cause just the thought that I may be on her mind
Like she’s on mine
And she’s on mine all the time
She’s the music to my ears
The only thing I want to hear
She’s that gentle breeze that’s blowing
She’s my mid-afternoon nap
Yeah she’s the pin stuck in my map
Of places I hope to be going,
But as long as she told you to say hi
I can get by
Cause just the thought that I may be on her mind
Like she’s on mine
But as long as she told you to say hi
I can get by
Cause just the thought that I may be on her mind
Like she’s on mine
And she’s on mine all the time

Choke

You can’t leave your mark on this world
Without the world leaving it’s mark on you
And it’s hard to speak your mind when your voice shakes
But it’s what you have to do
If this is it then how will I
Make you the bad guy in my mind
And if not spent hating you
Then what will I do with all my time
But I’m not interested in
A washed up
Watered down version of a love
I was expecting for the rest of my life
Some days you love me
Some days you don’t
And that painting hanging on my wall reminds me
Of your hands around my throat
As you watch me choke
If I never break then how will I
Know just how far I can bend
And you know it doesn’t matter whether it will matter in the end
It matters now
And for now it always will
Cause I’m lost
And you’re hysterical
To bounce back now would truly take a miracle,
But I’ve prayed for worse
And you’ve prayed for worse
Some days you love me
Some days you don’t
And that painting hanging on my wall reminds me
Of your hands around my throat
Cause you’re the drunkest of drives
Home from the time of our lives
And you’re that one final crash
That left us dead on impact
Now all we’re left with are the memories of a bitter past
I was always sure we’d have time to get back
But we’ll never have time to get back
Some days you love me
Some days you don’t
And that painting hanging on my wall reminds me
Of your hands around my throat
As you watch me choke

See You in My Dreams

Don’t talk to me right now
I’m trying to figure this out
The last thing I heard from you after the fallout
I thought fine by me
I guess I’ll see you in my dreams
Never knew how I’d feel after a couple of weeks
Cause your picture beside my bed
Reminds me never to forget
The ones who truly love you
And the thought never entered my head
That I would ever have to live without you
But it may need to
Because tonight I’m ruining two lives for the price of one
Two can ride for just the cost of one ticket for admission
And I know that the world isn’t that simple but at least
I was hoping you and I could be
You’re a deep cry in a beach towel as paradise surrounds us
And you’re that hidden spot right off the coast where no one could’ve found us
So if I stay until tomorrow
Will you let me dry your tears
Cause happiness is in the moments
Misery is in the years
And it never even crossed my mind
That that may be the last time that I’d see you
But it may be true
And the thought never entered my head
That I would ever have to live without you
But it may need to
Cause you’ll stay quiet
And I’ll stay distant and remote
I may not like it
But that’s just how this story goes
And I know the world isn’t that simple but at least
I was hoping you and I could be
Cause I spend hours in the shower just to get my conscience clean
Of all the shameful things I’ve done
And all the shameful things I’ve seen
So take a look around
And if you don’t like what you see
Things are clearer in the mirror
And all that’s left is apathy
Apathy
Apathy
Apathy
Because tonight I’m ruining two lives for the price of one
Two can ride for just the cost of one ticket for admission
And I know the world isn’t that simple but at least
And I know that the world isn’t that simple but at least
And I know nothing is that simple but at least
I was hoping you and I could be
Cause your picture beside my bed
Reminds me never to forget
The ones who
Truly love you

Maybe Then I'll Learn

I flip like a switch
From happy to sad to back again
I know it’s exhausting
But I won’t stop
Til I find out just what it will cost me
And that’s it
The sympathy that I’d been needing
Hidden in between the letters
On the pages
Of the book that you were reading
The less I think
The better off I really am
Because it gives me less to work with
When I start making up those goddamn stories
That we both know are never true
But I’ll still get it in my head
And I’ll still take it out on you
I’ll say I’m sorry
But that won’t work this time
I know I’m not all that important
But I still can’t wait my turn
It’s just this one key in my pocket
But I won’t get too concerned
Until my roommates lock me out
And I can’t get in my own house
I have my doubts
But maybe then I’ll learn
When I talk
Is it cause I have something to say
Or just to hear the sound of my own voice
Knowing you don’t have a choice
But to stay
Cause you said you’d love me either way
And this love is just a game
And unlucky few are forced to play
You don’t deserve it
And I’m sure you never will
I know I’m not all that important
But I still can’t wait my turn
It’s just this one key in my pocket
But I won’t get too concerned
Until my roommates lock me out
And I can’t get in my own house
I have my doubts
But maybe then I’ll learn
I know I’m not all that important
But I still can’t wait my turn
It’s just this one key in my pocket
But I won’t get too concerned
Until my roommates lock me out
And I can’t get in my own house
I have my doubts
But maybe then I’ll learn
