7 Hours

7 hours or 30 hours you know that I don't mind
Sometimes I just get so lonely I'll do anything anyone likes
Daydreaming and sleeping away the nights to the sound of your voice
And the way I know you wouldn't choose me even if you didn't have a choice
Cause I'd drive 7 hours any day
If only that meant you would want my face
I thought I was beyond doing stupid things for a prospective love
I hate that I said "prospective" instead of "unrealistic crush"
The best of times and the worst of times at the top of the rock
You're giving mouth to mouth and I just want to jump off
Falling for you through the floors of the Museum of Modern Art
With only you and Rothko in my hollow heart
Cause I see you putting your charisma on like cologne before school
Listening to swimming pools and drowning in them too
But you're getting old I heard the doctor said you can't play sports
You gotta drive through Baltimore to get to New York
Cause I'd drive 7 hours any day
If only that meant you would want my face
I thought I was beyond doing stupid things for a prospective love
I hate that I said "prospective" instead of "unrealistic crush"
Cause I'd drive 7 hours everyday
If you said that you wanted it that way
I thought I was beyond doing stupid things for a prospective love
I hate that I said "prospective" instead of "unrequited crush"

Triple Dog Dare
04:21

Do I have to be like you in order to be good?
I think that I do
I think that I do
Do I have to say what I mean for you to understand me?
Don't make me say it please
But if you were to understand do you know what they'd say if they saw us holding hands?
Don't worry, I know I don't stand a chance
But between your long black hair and your triple dog dare, will you say my name?
I just wanna know if you'll think about me just before it rains
Your soul is old
And my hands are cold
And I can feel you letting go
Your words are soft
And when I speak, I just cough
Does that mean we'll break and fall apart?
Wish it wasn't easier to say "I love you" when it's over the phone
And I wish I had your cool clothes
Would it be better if I lied and said that I liked him better than the way I like how we lie?
You and I, you and I
Your words are warm
And I wanna say them back
But I'm pretty sure they'd come out flat
I love you so
More than my words can show
It's just kind of hard to let you know
Cause your soul is old
And my hands are cold
And I can feel you letting go
Your words are soft
And when I speak, I just cough
Does that mean we'll break and fall apart?

Bloody Mary
03:33
|

|
I know I'll never look good in shorts or short sleeves
It's something I've now known to know and believe
"Am I a bad person?"I wonder at dinner time
"Am I too ordinary?" I save for falling asleep at night
Oh, bloody mary in the bathroom
While my wounds were in full bloom
And everyone in the world was asleep
So I bled and I'll bleed
I wanna tell everyone I'm one year clean today
But that would involve explaining how I got dirty in the first place
I'm clean, but I wanna know, can you see my ribs from there?
Don't wanna eat, just brushed my teeth
So I sang bloody mary in the bathroom
While my wounds were in full bloom
And everyone in the world was asleep
So I bled and I'll bleed
I don't have what you want but I've got what I need
My garden's growing, it's just got a couple weeds
So just give me a couple weeks
I'll go back to being who I used to be
Oh please don't leave me
Oh please don't make me sing

Crooked Nose
04:37
|

|
Telling myself it was easy when I know it was not
It was just familiar and I confuse those things quite a lot
Telling myself there was nothing more to me and you
I was just wondering if it bothers you like it bothers me to
Cause everywhere I go I see your crooked nose
And I wanna forget so I try
But they all have your eyes
I don't wanna let you go
I just wanna keep you close
I know that I need to come up with some better ways to say that I miss you
I know that I need to start singing some different songs
But did you know that the only reason I sing these songs is cause you liked them once
Long ago, I know, but nonetheless, I hang on
Cause everywhere I go I see your crooked nose
And I wanna forget so I try
But they all have your eyes
I don't wanna let you go
I just wanna keep you close
Cause everywhere I go I miss your crooked nose
And I don't wanna forget, I don't wanna try
I just wanna see your eyes
I don't wanna let you go
I just wanna keep you close
So when we are apart
Know you'll always have my heart

Breathe
02:44

You were born on the hottest day of the summer
In the same month as me, but not the year
And I wonder what would happen if I told you all my fears
On the very first day of the spring I left school
To get high with you and your friends
And I wonder what would happen if the movie never ends
But you don't call me when you're drunk anymore
Cause you don't even think about me anymore
You don't even love anymore
You don't even breathe anymore
But you don't call me when you're drunk anymore
Cause you don't even think about me anymore
You don't even love anymore
You don't even breathe anymore

Pepperoni Dreams

Last year this time I was falling out of love with you
Last year this time my skin was clean
Now I have pepperoni dreams
Last year this time I wanted the world
Had no idea that I would miss my home
Last year this time I felt so like me
Now I look in the mirror and see someone who doesn't know how to leave
I played a spring sport
Kept the conversation short
You let me cry in your room
Then I had to leave you
A year later I was there
In the parking lot after school
I saw you looking at me
But I couldn't look back
I just couldn't back

Your long hair in the sunlight
Does wonders to my brown eyes
Lady Macbeth in the morning
June 7th still a warning
That year I spent next to you
Changed me in ways I wasn't used to
Tried to make this a love song
But you've been gone for too long
Hope that your family is proud
Hope your love now sticks around
Hope you'll remember my name
As long as you're happy, it's all the same
But you didn't have to sit with me at lunch
Knowing I had your heart was more than enough
I hope you don't think of me with regret
I hope you don't wanna forget
Cause I don't know why I look back sometimes
And wish I was there
There's nothing for me since I've been here
Yes I wish I didn't waste so much of that time
Oh, living in fear
Thinking there was nothing there and nothing here
Know that I'm older now
Can't let these feelings stick around
But can't I be growing and still think about
Lady Macbeth in the morning?
