I’ve got you waiting around
I’ve got you waiting around
I don’t mean to scare you but I am down
Don’t be afraid of me now
Don’t be afraid of me now
I’ve got these demons I can’t hide cause I am down
All of your friends have figured me out
They say
I’m just too jaded and all spun out
And every day that I’m messin around
I could
Appreciate that you’ve stuck around
I feel I’m sinkin now
I feel I’m sinkin now
It seems that I am without air as I drown
Don’t walk away from me dear
Don’t walk away from me dear
Your cold shoulder is turning; I’m in fear
All of your friends have figured me out
They say
I’m just too jaded and all spun out
And every day that I’m messin around
I could
Appreciate that you’ve stuck around
And you know and I know that you haven’t
And you know and I know that you haven’t
So let me just ask,
Where were you when I tried to leave this place?
Or what about the time when that knife wouldn’t find its place
Or when I felt my life was a lie and I wouldn’t survive
And what about the times when I cried cause my head felt so tight
Why would you say that you were around?
I swear I heard you bat an eyelash as I drowned
So now the truth comes out; I didn’t like you too
Come down from your high horse
You’ve got me waiting around
You’ve got me waiting around
I don’t mean to scare you, but I am down
I am down and out
I won't stick around
if you're scared about
dealin with me

Move away
To better days
Away from here
And all of your fears
I lie awake
Replaying mistakes
Inside my head;
Full of regret
I used to think of you
In hopes that you would too
Give it a month or two
Then I’ll be over you
It’s all the same
When we feel pain
Like minimum wage
We don’t get a raise
Sit or leave
But don’t mislead
Out in the cold
Waiting to smoke
I didn’t see
The kiss on the cheek
His hands’ on her hip
The kiss on the lips
I used to think of you
In hopes that you would too
Give it a month or two
Then I’ll be over you
It’s all the same
When we feel pain
Like minimum wage
We don’t get a raise
Out in the cold
Standing alone
Waiting to say
What I’ll never say

Two more years and it’ll be ten
What was it we used to say back then
With hazy eyes and endless hopes?
We seemed to reach the end of our rope
Is this not the plan that you wanted?
Am I not the man that you needed?
Staring down at your cold plate
As the waiter says he can wait
Memories drain from every vein
As you say I’m to blame
Children grow up in an instant
And now it seems that we’re distant
Is this not the plan that you wanted?
Am I not the man that you needed?
Staring down at your cold plate
As the waiter says he can wait
Stayed up late with the ringer on
Even though you were far from gone
Filled up my cup with all the rum
Drank until I felt numb
Is this not the plan that you wanted?
Am I not the man that you needed?
Staring down at your cold plate
Saying how this is our fate
Saying how this is our fate

Are those your whispers?
In the dead of night
I hear the break in your voice
In the dead of night
There are ghosts in this room
While I feel asleep
Want you here in my arms
While I fall asleep
Wait, don’t stay
My thoughts were just being loud
Didn’t mean those things
See your face in the crowds
Haunting me
Your last words I heard are
Haunting me
I crave the feelings we once had
Constantly
Making wish’s on stars
Constantly
Wait, don’t stay
My thoughts were just being loud
Didn’t mean those things

I used to see your sweetness when we’d watch fireflies
I used to know what it felt like to look into your eyes
The goddamned things we would say, now, were never meant
Close my eyes and now I see that this all makes perfect sense
Felt my life falling through
All the cracks because of you
Found my soul on the outskirts
Of town
Too impaired to go inside
Bet my life; fear in your eyes
Called a cab I’m goin home
While you walk all alone
Felt my life falling through
All the cracks because of you
Found my soul on the outskirts
Of town
This just isn’t the way, this just isn’t the way
To feel everyday, to feel everyday
You were fading away, you were fading away
I never knew who you were, I never knew who you were
So now I’m calling you out
On everything that you said
To all the people you told
And all the colors you were

Precious day, please go away
While I stay inside
Lets get back to the rainy days
Where I’ll try to forget you
Went and cut you out
From pictures on walls
Burned every single thing
You left in my car
This may seem childish
But you’re so full of shit
Been a long time, since I could breathe
Felt so empty with you
Went away and saw myself
Precious day please stay
Went and cut you out
From pictures on walls
Burned every single thing
You left in my car
This may seem childish
But you’re so full of shit
I tried to call you last night when I was drunk but you didn’t answer. I didn’t mean to it was just out of habit. So who do I call now?
I found a picture of us, and I didn’t recognize myself
God damned hands together; your face is a painting
Your face is a painting
Your face is a painting
Your face is a painting
Your face is a pain in my mind
“Please stop calling. You need to move on this is getting ridiculous. I’m worried about you, but it’s not my job to take care of you anymore. You need to stop calling. I want you to be happy and… that’s not with me.”

Got your letter
It came late
Didn’t read it
I’m sure it read
‘Here’s your stuff back
And your ring back
Don’t ever write back
I heard you’re back home
back home
I heard you’re back home
Back home’
You probably think I’m dead
on the inside; I’m not.
Wrote a letter back
I think it read
Here’s your stuff back
Why did you send that
Don’t ever write back
I heard you’re back home
Back home
I heard you’re back home

My eyes won’t eyes close, the phone's on the floor
My friends won’t answer and I can see why
And I can tell why
I cried for help to so many walls
They’re staring back and it’s hard to convey this
When you can’t relate
Worse than the sound of the voice that says I’m fine
when I’m not is the lack there of bliss
I watched the leaves fall down to the ground
at the end of October. They were waiting around for the wind to change
and take them away
I drove around for far too long
I won’t pull over; the gaslight is on
But I want to stay gone
Worse than the sound of the voice that says I’m fine
when I’m not is the lack there of bliss

Out on the sidewalk are some boxes with your name
will you come back to pick them up or put them away?
I've been outside here it's so cold dear, the neighbors are here
they ask "Where'd she go to, who'd she go to, what will you do?"
I'm still out here
calling your name
the rain is falling, the boxes are damp
guess I'll go inside
This house is so quiet, the lights are off and windows shut
Days come and go now, so very clear you'll never stay here
Gone are the boxes on the sidewalk, where'd they go?
I'm still out here
Calling your name
The rain is falling, the boxes are damp
Guess I'll go inside
Guess I'll go inside
Guess I'll say goodbye

And when you try to come around
I won’t be waiting by the door
My phone is ringing off the hook
With those you think are probably crooks
Its been killing me lately, you need to find out
That I’m so unhappy with how this turned out
Cause I’m on the east coast and you’re down south
I’m asking you baby to give me an out
Don’t bring that boom box to my lawn
Because I’ve left and will stay gone
To a bar where I will not pay
I won’t be home for days and days
Its been killing me lately, you need to find out
That I’m so unhappy with how this turned out
Cause I’m on the east coast and you’re down south
I’m asking you baby to give me an out

Saw the west on a train
And the east coast by plane
Where went you’d complain
said ‘it was all the same.’
What you said was so toxic
Burned my eyes out their sockets
Shoved my hands into pockets and I
Wanted nothing from you
If we can’t feel the same
then go ahead and
Let go of my hand
If we can’t feel the same
Then what’s the point of try'na be sane
Let go of my hand
If we can’t feel the same
Then you can see the west coast by train
And say whatever the hell you want.

I am a sucker for your sore eyes
When you come looking I’m a dead man
I can’t deny those advances
With the hands and the romantics
And I can hear now what you’re saying
But you still go and call him ‘baby’
I’m a slave to all your calls and glances
So we’re stuck all these songs and dances
One more kiss around the corner
Run and hide look for cover
Where is the man who adores her?
Asking ‘round ‘where’s my lover?’
And I can hear now what you’re saying
But you still go and call him ‘baby’
I’m a slave to all your calls and glances
So we’re stuck all these songs and dances
Call me so late
I won’t hesitate
Love me but you say
Please wait I cannot stay

What are you drinking?
Can I get you somethin’ with ice?
How bout a ciggerette?
And we can go step outside
Because the weather’s nice
I want to talk with you all night
If that’s all right
Did I mention you look nice
It’s three AM and we’re not tired
The way things are lookin’ we’ll just retire to your bed
And that’s okay if it’s okay that I like you
Cause you’ve got a boy and I guess he won’t be in your head
Here’s another
Shot to throw back
Pour another
I’ll do it if you do
We’ll have each other
When the others go pass out
How bout a ciggerette
We can go step outside
It’s three AM and we’re not tired
The way things are lookin’ we’ll just retire to your bed
And that’s okay if it’s okay that I like you
Cause you’ve got a boy and I guess he won’t be in your head
Am I just drunk and picturing
That this is going well between
You are so nice but could use ice
In that red cup oh my I’ve spilled
It’s three AM and I’m not tired
The way things are lookin we’ll just retired to your bed
And that’s okay but not okay that I like you
Cause you’ve got a boy and I guess
he’s still stuck in your head
Still stuck in your head

"It just takes one thing, one tiny little offense and it can snowball
And that's when you find out that that pretty little girl you married isn't a pretty little girl at all, No...
A man-eater, the kind that uses your dignity as a dishtowel to wipe up any shreds of manhood that might be stuck inside the sink.
So much so that, by the end of that relationship, I honestly don't know who I hated more -- her or me?
I used to sit around and wonder why our friends weren't trying to destroy each other, like we were.
And here, it turns out, the answer's pretty simple:
They weren't unhappy. We were"

Waiting on you to decide
Cause Texas is a different state
I guess it’s just too far to drive
You’ll never come down to this place
She said, “I’m just confused
'bout what I should do
But I guess I’ll visit soon”
Late nights talks on the phone
Fewer and fewer they seem
I guess I should have known
That you’re livin’ a different dream
I said, “I’m just confused
'bout what we should do
But I guess you’ll visit soon”

I’ve been wasting away watching TV shows and drinking
And I still remember the day when you sent the text “we’re through” while I was gone
You’ve been dancing away at all the bars while all the boys sing you songs
And you still try to say that you love and breathe all things Kurt Cobain
Remember that time we went to that show and all you said was “lets go home”
The next day you wore my shirt to impress the guy who helped you in some class
So what if I call you out? Lets be fair, you’re not that great at acting
And if I may speak the truth, I can’t stand the thought of you so happy
So call me out cause I don’t give a damn
You’re wrong about Cobain and Pearl Jam
So what’s the beef you have?
You said ‘I’ve moved along’
So call me out cause I don’t give a damn
You’re wrong about Cobain and Pearl Jam
So what’s the beef you have?
You said ‘I’ve moved along’
(She said "I'm just confused bout what I should do but I guess I'll visit soon)
(I said "I'm just confused 'bout what we should do but I guess you'll visit soon)
(She didn't tel the truth)

[Intro from The Notebook]
As we walk to your house hand in hand all smiles
The spring rain is comin gonna drown in it's flooding
Now the school days are done and we go together fine
Cap 'n gown look great grad party is at eight
Tonight I'm fine and you're mine
Dance along, I'm fine
(But I'm really not)
She's still rockin that letter jacket that I gave her
Yet there's no point in it
Ceremony is over now there's drinks in hand
The frown on your face looks very out of place
Now the school days are done and we'll have to say bye
That dress looks great but we can't run from fate
Tonight I'm fine and you're mine
Dance along, I'm fine
(But I'm really not)
But she's still thinkin we'll last forever
She thinks she's swooning like in the movies
I'm not George Clooney. She thought I could be
She's still rockin that letter jacket that I gave her
Yet there's no point in it
