- A Good Time At Your Expense
I don't like your cowboy boots
To me they don't tell the truth
I feel like mine do, I'm from the Midwest
You're from New York.
This voice is stronger, this boy is grown
You'd better claim sticks and stones
You better pray to God I choke
- Dead End
Hold on, there's a hole in my heart
everyone can see right through me
it goes all the way to the waves
where my love she tried to wash it away
see we break for the summers
so she can find lovers
she treats them like a bottle of wine
- Dog Problems
Don't you dare
Speak for someone you don't know
They'll feel it in the back of their throat
We know I cant construct a poem
'Cause words like girls get bored and run
c'est la vie
I say "I've got so many better things"
I've got nothing
- Faith In Fast Cars
Somewhere someone puts all of their faith in a fast car,
California opened your legs.
Well, honey, your feet, they ain't as pretty as you think.
My teeth are all still crooked on the inside.
Could you please leave all your clothes on,
and let me sweat this out?
I can only see you naked.
- Inches And Falling
I love Love
I love being in love
I don't care what it does to me
Take these tattered boxes
that used to hold your clothes
Break them down
Build them back up with your bones
- Matches
Ashes to ashes
Some dust on the dash
I've got my cigarettes
but I can't find the fire
that's calming me down
I was just out on a night with my friends
You are still out on a night
- On Your Porch
I was on your porch
the smoke sank into my skin
so i came inside to be with you
and we talked all night,
about everything we could imagine
cause come the morning i'll be gone
and as our eyes start to close,
i turn to you and i let you know,
- Pick Me Up
And you
You're gonna walk backwards
through the room
Does that mean I won't see you?
It means you walk backwards
through the room
Tiffany's crying
- She Doesnt Get it
All the girls pose the same for pictures
All the boys got the same girls' hair
I am bored 'cause I feel much older
Look at me, as if I've got a reason to stare
But you talk so loud
that it calms me down
You're crying "Let's make a toast"
- Snails
Nico, take it slow,
Show me that you care cuz love's just not a flare on my sleeve
Sleep well, I pray that cardboard box set the perfect stage
'Cause woodgrain makes all man make things seem so out of date,
Life is not a play its what we make of the people we love,
Snails see the benefits,
- Sore Thumb
Forgive me you
Cut out again.
It seems so easy just to blame
The reception.
Theres something wrong.
I dont know why
Why you, you never say goodnight.
- The Compromise
You, you think its cool to be crazy,
I say "you're born rich? stay rich."
There's no point in taking chances.
And me, I wouldn't call it a sophomore slump
No, I'd say I’m one step closer to bein' just where I want to be.
Away from this scene,
- The First Single
I can't stand to think about
A heart so big it hurts like hell
Oh my God I gave my best
But for three whole years to end like this
Well do you want to fall apart
I can't stop if you cant start
Do you want to fall apart
- The Lottery Song
You could do the laundry
I'll come by on Monday
You give me the money
I'll go buy a ticket
On the local lottery
We could win the lottery
We could go to Vegas and be very happy
- Tie the Rope
I'm in envy of addicts, you're obsessed with stars dont, dont you go sounding so excited youre showing me your vanity
Whisper it once, just a little bit c'mon whisper it twice, i cant stand to see the spotlight shine one more night its
Killing me to see you
[chorus]
- Time Bomb
Oh no, was it worth it?
Starting now I'm starting over
I'm gonna sleep
with the next person I meet
Starting now I'm starting over
You swore "together forever"
Now you're telling me lies
