You're spillin out your guts to another random stranger desperate for anything to remind you of love / and whos to say where these things should begin or end i think the current arrangement's kinda fucked Why should we give ourselves to just one person who will prolly end up just breaking our heart / why is a friendship something less meaningful why is physical affection where things fall apart Oh i know i may never find an answer / but sometimes i think life's about the questions that we asked / oh i may be a natural disaster / But once in great while i can not help but fall too fast Crushes well i've had a few and i assure they all hurt but never quite as much as tryin to asleep alone / and everytime that i meet another person a fear strikes my heart could now could this be the one Whos gonna tear you up to little pieces and scatter your remains underneath the waxing moon / or just a friend who you'll never really know victim of what can wrong fallin far too soon Oh i know i may never find an answer / but sometimes i think life's about the questions that we asked / oh i may be a natural disaster / But once in great while i can not help but fall too fast
2.
With a wit as sharp as a blade / and a look on point to match / cut into me and left my heart flayed / full of new schemes to hatch And oh you make such a pretty cute girl / and a cute pretty boy i see / not another like you in the world /not a queen but khaleesi What if i tried to write a song for you / would you mind a mixed a metaphor or two / we’re like the stars who burned too bright / twin black holes devouring the night Ghost stories sound much better at night / especially with you next to me / and when the clouds shot out their lights / we fell fast asleep Do you remember when your dad got me drunk/ and we saw my favorite band? / and oh i know this summer kinda sucks / but fuck if that wasnt rad What if i tried to write a song for you / would you mind a mixed a metaphor or two / we’re like the stars who burned too bright / twin black holes devouring the night
3.
Seasons come and seasons go / no one ever really knows / why some are good and some are bad / but summer came as cruel as any villain Time it passes faster since / those days when we were little kids/ innocence and ignorance / indifferent to anything that wasn’t thrillin hook: Someday i know ill see you then we’ll talk about our way back when You’ll tell me about your new dog and Ill ask about your new boyfriend You’ll say he’s cool but thats not as important as it used to be You’ll say that school is almost just an absent memory Tell me that your chasing dreams you had when we first met Living your life for once without an ounce of regret Verse 2 So hold on to your heavy heart / i know things tend to fall apart / but (some)centers hold and centers stay / and center stage is where you’ll make a killin And this too like all things must pass / our sorrow too wont ever last / sun will rise and the sun will set / and sometimes our best tears just come out spillin

Wake up to the smell of blood and it's tinny taste lingering on my tongue Oh my stars where have I been and what have I become Celebrate your sadness with another stupid song Anticipate the every awful thing that ever could go wrong Would you follow your heart to the ends of the earth And be content to watch it die Is everyone you've ever loved Just a reason to hate goodbyes I know summer ain't the same Without a sweetheart by your side But fuck if I know where they're at I'm just lucky to be alive While everyone left looking for a reason to get out of bed You're fuckin around flirting with every little demon left in your head Self destruction manifestos man I've made a few in my time Introduction to the world of the bittersweet and sublime Would you follow your heart to the ends of the earth And be content to watch it die Is everyone you've ever loved Just a reason to hate goodbyes I know summer ain't the same Without a sweetheart by your side But fuck if I know where they're at I'm just lucky to be alive

hold on to your heavy heart this time i think we'll make it through one word before we start lets try our best to make it new go forth and gather youself up take your love and give it all away with any luck it will find its way to you again on a some dark and cold and lonely and fateful day unsaid as the thought thats you kept to your self unread like the books left gathering dust up on your shelf tell yourself it will be ok fragile as a fabrige bluer than the epponymous jay while clouds above such an ominous gray as elegant as a tv tray or a thesis to a punk rock essay a pigeon to their bird of prey the sea gulls screaming at the bay all the prophets whove been lead astray or pauses left in a family way the message of hope we could not convey just dissapointment without delay all the fears you could not allay all the tears you would wipe away so save em up for a rainy day like those three little words that you'd never say your better angels were on display replete with childish naivete you were the costs i could not defray or the hell that we would one day pay your best attempts not to betray those secrets held in dossiers you were the loner to my jfk now someone call the cia the lizard people to my greys mysterious and vast as the milky way or the consequences we never weigh those games we tried hard not to play all the rules that we would disobey much to our mothers dismay oblivious as your fathers toupee and the welcomes that we'd overstay take me to the sweet soiree let your love be my attache we can talk it out or just hit the hay pray for a tomorrow better than today as miserable as the 17th of may or the leftovers we set out for the stray so send out a communique queer as in fuck you, im them and they anachronistic as bombay corpses cought in eternal ballet while the ladders of our DNA lie twisted up in acidic array our passions we found oh so passe slaves to all our social mores the day we die and turn back to clay left eponential in our decay all the gods to whom we'd never pray or the dragons that we'd never slay will one day come and make everything alright

I heard your name last week at a party somewhere out there on the east side of town I was like yeah I know that one and you can bet your ass that one don't fuck around They said your boy had been stepping out you had had enough of his shit and you were through And I just stared at your name on my phone thinking I should write I should call I should really talk to you CHORUS But baby (baby) Baby (baby) Don't expect that boy to be back again Just call my name (call my name) I'll come runnin back to you just as fast as I can Loneliness (loneliness) Is a jail that's so fucking hard to break Just call my name (call my name) We can be your your greatest little mistake I think it's been about a year since I've your face without the aid of a computer screen I take what I can get but when they say absence makes the heart grow fonder I've no fucking clue what they mean Because fondness is the furthest you could possibly get from the feelings you foster for former friends I'm not sure I'll find a more fitting line about you I just don't where to start or where to end
