Driveway 02:37
I called up and asked her If she remembered hanging out On her driveway 21 and a radio Where we would argue I hated the music that she owned Except the Marshall Mathers LP And The Mark, Tom, and Travis show We should hang out again I’ll meet you at your front door Unlike your douchebag boyfriend He pulls up and just honks his car horn I am a gentleman but the nice guys finish last In real life the monsters win so I’ll just keep on living in the past Let me ask you a question When did you give up on your dreams? So young, so passionate I still wave when your parents drive by me We go way back- got history I wonder who you grew up to be You thought that I let you win Truth is you were better than me I miss when we would stay out Until the streetlights came to life How do you spend your time now? Where do you spend you nights? Your Super Nintendo Outlived mine by seven years Our favourite level To this day I still can’t clear

Well I'm just waiting for this little blue bird To bring bring bring me your word And if I expected anything, well, That would would be so absurd Binary ones and zeros carry All the combinations that may make you want to see me I'm just waiting for the day that you turn 3-D (cause) I'm growing tired of these electric conversations And this hollow stimulation Yes these electric conversations Don't cut it, don't cut it, For me anymore Well I know that you are one in a million Hope I'm I'm one in a grand And I don't know why I thought you'd be impressed Cause I play play in a band I'm afraid you're just a fantasy Really a costumed nightmare, posing as my dream Falsely satisfied, but really wearing on me (because)

I only want what I can’t have The answer to a question that I don’t know how to ask And I have run all of my excuses into the ground, so sorry But I’m only at my best when there's no one around And I don’t know why I’m still trying to get it right Crown me the king of bad timing - The fuse will not ignite So I can’t get it off the ground, I had such bright and Starry eyes, but the world has dimmed them down So put my life on hold for yet another season We're doing this for the wrong reasons While all the years have rolled past us All of my plans for the future have begun to rust, and fade away Like a dream that slips out of memory the moment you wake up Did last night really happen? I should learn to hold my tongue When do we give up - When do we give up And call it quits We’re holding on- We’re holding on By just our finger tips We’re holding on - Keep holding on

I wrote you a song But I doubt you'll ever hear it I hope it's not wrong That I'm smitten by your spirit 'Cause all I have are these six strings I'll play them 'til they rust, I'll make them sing And with a stroke of luck one of these stray notes Will battle through the air, And float right on to you And stick to you like glue I took you this picture But I doubt you'll ever see it And you're getting sicker And there's no way I can fix it 'Cause all I have are these six strings I'll play them 'til they rust, I'll make them sing But they won't make the cold, cold go away Oh yes I'm sorry to see that you've lost your productive days I wish that you could play I would take you skating Yah, we'd go round in circles And there's no need waiting for coffee My hands would keep yours thermal And if liking you's against the law I hope I'm out on parole before the ice starts to thaw I'd take whatever path that you would choose I'll drive that rainbow road Whatever it takes to get to you You're a newfound clarity You're my newfound clarity And all I have are these six strings I'll play them 'til they rust, I'll make them sing I'll play them all night long 'til the morning dew I'll cherish every note Oh how I wish that they were you I wrote you this song But I doubt you'll ever hear it

Look Around 03:03
I couldn’t tell you the last time That the sun was in my eyes Close the curtains, shut the blinds Lock the doors I hide behind Out of body, out of mind I can now bend space and time Oh dear god I made things worse Tore a hole in the universe Help now Too scared to let my- Self out I’m losing track of all of my days Take a look around Take a look around Watch it all come crashing down Do you feel it now? I feel nothing now Do I live here, or just haunt this house? I couldn’t tell you the last time A clear went through my mind I may be drunk but I’m not blind These bloodshot eyes are open wide Watch my neighbors come and go What’s my name? Nobody knows I miss the fresh air in my lungs Basement apartment, dust, and drugs I will Keep poisoning Myself I'm so convinced it’s just what I need. Melt my brain with good intentions I am testing the limits of my body tonight Collapse foundation And bury me alive

Apparently we're all just a dying breed What we want is not what we really need Bypassing logic, with a drive to succeed Making more sacrifices than victories It's a struggle, but we're going at it differently (Hey hey!) it's worth all the memories And my heroes come to me Inside of small packages My heroes come to me in the strangest of places that I can't even dream Don't worry about getting close to the flame Executing all objectives with perfect aim A blaze of glory, now you're leading the way You've gone away You've gone away Chasing down your dreams, and now Kicking up the dust at full steam My commentator My caned crusader Helped me realize that success is not measured in another's eyes My crusty waiter My straight edge raver They say you should never meet your idols, But my idols are all of my peers You found a way We found a way And my heroes come to me Inside of small packages My heroes comfort me with all their different faces Cause I can always see them smiling My heroes come to me in the strangest of places that I can't even dream

Werewolves 03:09
Well I'm pale and awkward Skinny tall I play guitar not sports And I'm ignored by girls All summer long Cause I don't look good in shorts My actions contradict All of my well thought out plans And now for my next trick Watch me closely while I spill my guts all over The Stage Scream away all my rage 'Til I begin to choke I can do this alone I’ll wear all my flaws like Armor So give me your best shot I am who I am - I’ll do the best with what I’ve got I know I've got this Whiny voice, but still I stand here singing songs I want to be like Kurt Cobain, But I sound like Tom Delonge And my friends look like werewolves And I shave once a month And I don’t know when to be careful Or when I should shut up and just roll with the Punches Can’t do many crunches But I can make you laugh Harder than he can I’ll wear all my flaws like Armor So give me your best shot I am who I am - I’ll do the best with what I’ve got Think fast - I am starting to unravel Like glass - My brittle bones are so damn fragile I am not invincible A little too emotional And I can’t commit - I can’t control And I depend on alcohol I won’t pretend from now on I'll wear my heart on My sleeve For everybody To see I’ve got nothing to hide I’ve laid it all out on the line I’ll wear All my flaws like Armor So give me your best shot I am who I am - I do the best with what I’ve got
