Nobody's Partner
03:07

I got this girl racing through my mind
every now and then, her face I see
I get caught up in what it would look like
if the world turned into just her and me
she's seen things that make me cringe at night
honestly I don't think I could talk to guys, if I were her
she makes me feel like I'm doing something right
and all at once brings me down to size
Chorus
she don't wanna be nobody's partner
that's fine by me as long as she's mine
and it's hard to think anybody could stop her
this whole damn world is on her side
I wonder about if she's eating
and I hope she gets enough of her sleep
its hard to say, cause she's so driven
but more likely than not, she'll be her own defeat
We disagree on a lot of things
but she's patient enough not to close her eyes
and I'm not sure what this story holds for us
but I'll sit by, we got plenty of time
Chorus
she don't wanna be nobody's partner
that's fine by me as long as she's mine
and it's hard to think anybody could stop her
this whole damn world is on her side

Little Lynn

Little Lynn got her heart broke today
by some boy that she swears is okay
doesn't seem that way to me
maybe just bad writing in their story
she's a skater from a west coast town
he's some shithead who's just messing around
don't know what he wants, or what he needs
Pre-Chorus
Maybe just too young to fall in love
Chorus
Little Lynn, don't you cry
everything will be alright
I know it hurts right now, but that will fade
Little Lynn, don't you cry
your heart will get stronger with time
just do the best you can to let it heal
Don't you worry bout who stole him away
Don't you worry bout the games that he plays
You keep track of yourself, keep your words kind
Don't you worry bout what people say
Don't you give them the time of day
If they weren't there at the start, they won't be in the end
Pre-Chorus
Maybe just too young to be in love
Chorus 2
Little Lynn, it's alright
I know it sucks, but you'll survive
Just carry on and keep your head held high
Little Lynn, it's alright
Don't be so stuck your life flies by
take some time to reflect on what you need
Little Lynn when you find love again
Don't you forget what you learned from him
But don't you be afraid to open your heart wide
Pre-Chorus
Because you're never too young to be in love
Outro
Little Lynn... Little Lynn... Little Lynn...

Learn to Crawl
02:49
|

i don't get around very much
don't have the push to get myself up
i don't remember what its worth
to do an honest hard day's work
i sleep, i eat, i fall back in
wonder which of these days will be my end
some days i feel like i could burst
and others i feel like i am cursed
Bridge
learn to move all again
before this day begins
roll out of bed, put my clothes on
it's easy to do if its in a song
get ready for work, wake up a six
go to bed at nine, and do it all again
i beat my head against the wall
to see what parts of me can feel at all
a razor blade is in my hands
my shallow skin is what it demands
Bridge 2
haven't gotten there yet
and i'll do my best
Chorus
learn to crawl
learn at all
cause i can't walk this way anymore
Outro
learn to crawl... learn to crawl... learn to crawl... before i fall

Right?
02:18

i'm proud of the bags under my eyes
they show just a little of what's inside
and yes my heart is wearing down
my mind breaks without a sound
my shaking legs, my leaden lips
my fingers tremble at their tips
and if my lungs soon cease to breathe
it'll come as no surprise to me
Chorus
and ooh-ooh i'm not depressed
right?
and ooh-ooh i'm at my best
right?
eyes will close, my feelings fade
seems for sleep my soul was made
for in my dreams there is a place
where all my time is mine to waste
i wonder if my body's sick
some new disease has climbed in it
what a nice excuse to play
as i burn away my days
Chorus
and ooh-ooh i'm not depressed
right?
and ooh-ooh i'm at my best
right?
if my friends ask if i'm okay
i'll say i'm fine, it's just today
i'll hide my burning cry for help
beneath the waves of my self doubt
these little songs keep me alive
bring back the spark into my eyes
and it will be my final day
when a guitar i cannot play
Chorus
and ooh-ooh i'm not depressed
right?
and ooh-ooh i'm at my best
right?

Writing Songs Angry
04:00

i can't sing, seems i've lost my voice
well that's just fine, all i want is noise
my guitar's bent, so all of my riffs suck
can't move in life, cuz i'm so stuck
try to put my thoughts down in a song
that's kinda hard to do when i can't think at all
my lyrics flow when my feelings come
but these last few weeks i've felt so numb
Chorus 1
hey, why, am i falling apart?
hey, why, won't this song start?
hey, why, is it only today?
hey, why, can't i run away?
all these stupid guys think they're so cool
well everything you do it makes me drool
when's the last time you even left the state?
all you do is drink and masturbate
and please don't get me started on girls
a few years ago they meant my world
but now i'm to shy to even flirt
fucking terrified of getting myself hurt
Chorus 2
hey, pal, tell me who the fuck asked
hey, babe, would we go out if i asked?
hey, bud, i think you're better off dead
hey, girl, would you get outta my head
now people say I can't solve things with my fists
but i'll be damned if i don't try it
we could talk things out, or i could even wait
but why bother to give when it's so easy to take
yeah i know it's privileged and it's immature
but it's the only thing that i know for sure
if you hate who's talking why not punch out their teeth
after something like that it's much harder to speak
Chorus 3
go, ahead, why don't you laugh all you wan't
why, not, i'm too weak to be fought
just, watch, you'll fucking choke on your words
and i'll, bounce, as i flip you bird

Human Mess
02:00
|
|||
|
the girl upstairs playin her ukulele
maybe some day i'll ask her to sing with me
oh, that'll be the day
and maybe some time i wont push myself to sleep
dreamin bout what i thought my life would be
oh, that'll be the day
maybe some time i wont be afraid to speak
to people who may or may not like me
oh, that'll be the day
Chorus 1
but for now i'll keep on hangin on
singin all these stupid songs
never really learning anything
i'm a human mess
maybe sometime i'll find a reason to breathe
everyday won;t seem the same to me
oh, that'll be the day
although you'd never hear me say this thing out loud
the life i'm livin doesn't do me proud
i'm just driftin through my days
and if this song's beat don't match well with the words
it's a parallel with just how my mind works
and how i deal with things
Chorus 2
but for now i'll keep on hangin on
writing all these dumb old songs
hoping it'll bring a little peace
to a human mess
the reason that i study in a public place
is that maybe i'll see a friendly face
to keep my heart alive
and maybe some day i'll have a friend i trust
not to let our friendship go to rust
that'll be the day
Chorus 3
and as life pushes me to the end
i'll keep waiting for the day when
my life won't be such a fucking wreck
as a human mess
