polaroids

looking threw our Polaroids
of army coats and love drunk notes
that we promote
with empty cans and inside jokes
the likes of which we love to quote

looking threw our Polaroids
of nights out late and pointless joys
and gangsta boys
gangsta boys that we annoy
they're anger brought use so much joy

and we anit got a clue
of what we're gonna do
trying to remember
last November

and we anit got a clue
of what we're gonna do
half baked reason
fits the season

we were picture perfect
in our polaroids
yeah we were so damn happy
in our polaroids

and I can see
the photographic memory
of you and me
still picture perfect as can be
there will always be
this photographic memories
of you and me

we were picture perfect

in our polaroids

looking threw our polariods
your so young and quite undone

but beautiful
and we're not sure what they imploy

when they say we're just trendy toys

we were picture perfect
in our polaroids
wer were so damn happy
in our polaroids

and I can see
the photographic memory
of you and me
still picture perfect as can be
there will always be
this photographic memories
of you and me

we were picture perfect
in our polaroids

lullaby

I miss sleep

i eat junk food when I head to bed
keeps my mind mixed up and out of it
I dream things i don't understand
and wake up cold with sweaty hands

the faucet fills my feet
with it's pitter patter beat
and the skeletons and demons waltz that I

keep in my closet

i scare myself
i scare myself to sleep
it's the only thing that keeps
me rested for weeks

i scare myself
from time and time again

i scare myself

when sleep won't give in

i'm not sure what's real anymore

three days awake spent on the floor

i don't wanna spend another night
saying over and over I'm alright

and that pitter patter beat
makes me anxious in my seat
so i sleep walk to the closet where i ask
if i can join them

i scare myself
i scare myself to sleep
it's the only thing that keeps
me rested for weeks

i scare myself
from time and time again

i scare myself

when sleep won't give in

i roll around and think
with that pitter patter sink
and by the time I'm done

i scare myself just cause it's fun

I get no peace from lullabies
unless they're yelled like battle cries
I get no peace from lullabies
unless they're yelled like battle cries
I get no peace from lullabies
unless they're yelled like battle cries
I get no peace from lullabies
unless they're yelled like battle cries

a mirco nap or two

just to get me threw

a comas getting closer

a comas getting closer

and i'm so sure what to do

so i scare myself
i scare myself to sleep
it's the only thing that keeps
me rested well for weeks

i scare myself
from time and time again

i scare myself

when sleep won't give in

i scare myself
i scare myself
when sleep won't give in

jersey

if finally own a jersey shirt
this is in celebration of that simple fact

well auto mechanics and high school attics
drive beat up pickups sputtering hiccups

going 95 singing enjoy the ride
oh, oh enjoy the ride
and then you'll find

that those kids know how to act

but they just fail to react

in their high school jerseys

when every garage band goes hand in hand

with blistering fame that's come and came

singing i'm alive so enjoy the ride
so, oh enjoy the ride
and then you'll find

that those kids know how to act

but they just fail to react

in their high school jerseys

it's come and came

and they're still the same

and they never change

in their high school jerseys

it's come and came

and they're still the same

and they never change

in their high schools jerseys

when football team promised you a dream

so you throw the ball and it's closer than it seems

so testify enjoy then ride

oh, oh enjoy

but then you'll find

that those kids know how to act

they just fail to react

in their high school jerseys

-solo-

it's come and came

and they're still the same

and they'll never change

in their high school jerseys

it's come and came

and they're still the same

and they'll never change

in their high school jerseys

cigarette

six five on another eon

and i know that i couldn't go on

without a cigarette

another cigarette

so light me up
so light me up

when six five on another eon

and i know that i couldn't go on

without a cigarette

another cigarette

so light me up

so light me up

it's cold cold night in the north north east

not a care in the world, no, not in the least

and i know that i couldn't go on

without a cigarette

a fucking cigarette

cause six five on another eon
and i know that i couldn't go on
without a cigarette
another cigarette

so light me up

so light me up

2010

i'm still learning what's right and wrong

the categories blur within the song

everybody knows their rights and wrongs but me

what's it gonna take to see?

maybe a call from the local cops

a house party in a cardboard box

stuck in the rocks

board it up with pins and locks

or insides filled with vladamir

when you're driving drunk without the fear

you don't notice everything's unclear

when you're driving drunk it's so hard to steer

you won't make it home this year

we're all raised as petty crooks

hardly breaking the laws in all the books

we fit the looks to dull to shine

and all these wrong words tend to rhyme

yes every wrong word tends to rhyme

strangest heaven

it's taken 6 years to write you a love song
i love ya bit

1 - dear ms. lady

2 - it's gonna be okay
3 - it's gonna be alright
4 - it's gonna take sometime
5 - for this wet paint to dry

6 - but maybe I'm wrong
7 - maybe they were the right one's all along
8 - we don't fit together cause being alone's
9 - so much better than being together

15 - kind of heaven

16 - so just take my chance
17 - and I'll meet your dare
18 - cause i'm one stubborn mother fucker and you're a vicious bitch
19 - but shits getting better all the time
20 - and a part of me says "fuck, that's fine"

21 - what a change of pace
22 - and this scenery
23 - I just thought I'd remind you that I'd loved you
24 - cause we tend to forget

25 - let me be your strangest heaven
26 - your backwards, up the wall, against your mother's law
27 - kind of heaven
28 - your twisted, mess up, wrong in every way
29 - kind of heaven

30 - now we don't have time for stupid fights
31 - I've learned that my ego isn't always right
32 - I've cleaned out my conscience and I gave it to you
33 - nearly tore your heart right in two-o-o-o

34* - let me be your strangest heaven
35 - your backwards, up the wall, against your mother's law

old apartment

in our old apartment

we were doing just fine

in our old apartment

when the world was small

and not a thing to find

in our old apartment

you could come and stop by

in our old apartment

when our life was good

and no one cried

in our old apartment

angel

i'm that angel with the one good wing

couldn't sing

doesn't know a god damn thing about prayer

and i'd never wear that halo

oh no, you know i go slow

so believe

in me

put faith in something you can't see
cause it's easy

to believe
but won't always grantee
it'll be
this easy
just don't leave me for another brother

i'm that angel with a broken string

no king

wouldn't do a god damn thing too brave
and i'd never save no one
don't run, i'm too fun and not done

tallies

two for the lies

threes for the lust and a DUI

and four is the cost

when five is the loss

of how i coulda been bolder, oh so bolder

still counting the tallies on the back of my shoulder

so count it one, two, three, four
