i'm just a little queasy
i'm just way too cool
i think i might be in trouble
but i think that's better than hope
maybe this was a mistake
maybe i forgot what i was just saying
the prayer i was just praying, or the breath i was just taking
the love i was just creating, or the heart i was just breaking
i can't remember anything lately
i think...i don't know
please, officer, don't ask any more questions
just let me go
i'm running so fast i might get away
i might crash right through the "the end." that i can see coming up so soon
not soon enough, for us
i just wish you'd remembered, you're not the only one
in this relationship
you're not the captain and all the crew
on this ship
but i'm inviting you to try and read my heart
and tell me where we should go
so excuse me, if i ask you to take your hands off the wheel
i have a talent for reading maps and following directions
but you don't work that way
and i don't want this to happen this way
(the way it's already turning out)
don't tell me it gets easier when you fall in love
because it's like quicksand; the harder you try to get out of it
the more it sucks
and the deeper you fall
it's so easy to notice the bad, and the good is too easy
too easy to forget
come on, make your decision
there isn't a right one you can make, so just hurry up
'cause it doesn't really matter
whichever way you throw my life off track is fine by me
i'm almost sure i don't want you as an enemy
but with you it always goes too far
i'm gonna confess, i don't know how to manage my life
and i have no idea who has the trademark on my mind
but i have a feeling it isn't me
is it you dad?
is it the baron of inconsistency
or the enemy of decency
now let's not pretend we don't know where this is going
right toward a messy collision
how come having fun is such a headache?
and how come it's so hard to have
or keep
this sucks
what's holding it all together?
it's not me, that's for sure
sometime after she saw through all the lies i'd said
(which, funnily enough i thought were true)
and i watched the sunset from a support underneath the bridge
i realized that too much time had passed
and the tree we'd carved our names into had died at last
like everything comes to pass...
i won't see you later, but i had a blast
as the goodbyes linger
upon the crisping autumn air
i can't forget the taste of time gone by
or the color, the feel, the scent of her hair
oops, i think i might have done the same old thing again
blown up in the face of water
and the only person who could put me up and out
if i can get out of this town before that happens again
i just might be okay
how do you keep all your friends?
how do you afford all the expenses
that come with being a nice guy and always happy
like inside jokes and showing up on time
like saying her poem is fine, even though she has no idea how to rhyme
remember me?
that kid that blew you off when you tried to be friends
that was just another episode in the Season Two (that never seems to end)
what are you doing
lies can't teach me how to live
nor breaches of trust, or punches to the face
i have some news for you
my love died today
just went and up and blew its brains out into the bay
now the body is all that's left now
begging for everything, especially tickets for a train
to make it out of this city of pain
or just a ride over to your apartment to talk things out
actually, i just want you to get off of my case
i don't know if i can do it by myself
but i don't have any friends to help me
i'll just bite my lip and black my eyes
press the eject button and blast off to paradise
"but you can't make this go away, detective"
don't you tell me how to live
i can't remember falling asleep
so i'm not sure if i'm really waking up
or if that was just another sleepless night
my spine is bent, my neck is crooked
as the clock ticks on, i want my mom
or somebody to tell me it's okay
but i have to get up by myself
dim apartment, aching head
pressure pounding; am I dead?
or just making my way like i do every day
simultaneously everywhere and nowhere
living far too far past the point of
