one day soon i'm gonna let you down
but not just how i usually let you down
it's gonna hurt so bad and you won't know how to forgive me
i'm gonna be sad but trust me i'll understand
when you live your life this flawed
you just expect your friends to leave
it will be great for like six months
and then it's gone
tell me
who filled your head with these ideas
who taught you to live this kind of life
i don't want to fill your head with these ideas
and trust me
you don't want to live my kind of life
could you just reach inside my head
and grab all the words i need to say
you seem to be the only one who gets it right
emotionally, i'm at cinema east again
we both decided we can't be friends
now i'm in row 10 crying my eyes out
watching the credits roll again

Pittsburgh

we took the cheapest bus out to pittsburgh
because your car wouldn't make the trip
we hung out with all your friends out in pittsburgh
and i was just happy to be there
you showed me the best cup of coffee out in pittsburgh
but it tasted just like the one i had back home
you said sometimes you wish that you could live here forever
me myself i don't know where to go
we took the cheapest bus out to pittsburgh
because your car wouldn't make the trip
we hung out with all your friends out in pittsburgh
late on the floor bed, dreaming about home

Movies All Day

i said i liked your hair
but i can't say that anymore
i said i liked your friends
but they don't like me no more
i said i liked your place
but that don't mean that i could stay
i said i wanted to be friends
but it never works out that way
we could watch movies all day
we could do whatever you want to do
just put your arms around me and tell me things are ok
we could watch movies all day
we could do whatever you want to do
i don't think that i could talk about it anymore

sitting on the beach wearing orange shades
secretly fearing someday
that you're gonna get older
and all your friends are gonna move away
and you'll just be stuck here forever
even when it gets colder
but for right now
i'd say you're doing alright
you just gotta calm down
but for right now
drink that 40 that you snuck on the beach
yr gonna live forever

Sunday
04:01
|

|
i sat on your porch and wondered if i could spend my life like this
give up what i knew and put more faith into my feelings
it's totally irresponsible but when i hear your car coming down the road
your smile reminds me that sunday's still so far away
every sign on the interstate will just remind me of you
i'll think that you're in every car that's going around me
and when i see the signs pointing towards the turnpike
i'll remember how far you really are
but your smile reminds me that sunday's still so far away

to my old blonde hair
i know that i have failed you
i have grown to be the very thing you hated
dearest old blonde hair
you might think that i have lost it
i don’t do the things i used to do
and i hate to break it to you
but when you become my age
you’re not gonna do them too
dear my bleach blonde self
you’re never gonna get that septum piercing
one day you’re gonna quit smoking
one day you will hate being in a band
and when you're older
you’re never gonna be that happy again
in fact most days are pretty shitty
but it’s gonna be better than it was way back when when
i know that you don’t need me to spell out exactly what that means
but if you heard this when you were nineteen
you’d be thankful that i said it then not now
i know you hate them but for the love of god
listen to your parents
you’re not gonna make it that far where you are
you’ll still hate cops
in fact you’re gonna hate a lot of things
but you’re also going to learn to be forgiving
in fact you’re gonna want forgiveness
more than you’ve ever wanted anything
and if you get it, it’s gonna feel better than
thinking you're right
you’re gonna fall so hard in love
that you think you won’t deserve it
it might happen a couple times
but it’s cool that you get to even experience that in life
to my old blonde hair
i know that i have failed you
i have grown to be the very thing you hated
dearest old blonde hair
i hope that you forgive me
because trust me
you're gonna want to be forgiven too
