This weekend is such a weird experience of letting you go, but you're not coming back. I'm already on a trip w/o you And I don't know where I'm going And I don't know, if I'm coming back. Wondering if I could say No. So I'll go to a party. And you can maintain your yard. No matter what, you did enough today. And I ain't gonna come when you call. No I ain't. And for the first time I realized, I had become old fashioned-- It was exactly what I needed. Naturally, I do what I want to do. I underestimated how tough it was. So you want to raise a family. But you left me with a drunken mind. And I don't know, if Frank Sinatra was an asshole. But I'm making out with his girlfriend in my mind. There is no perfect state-- That does not mean that much to me.

Echo Park 04:47
Got in a car, drove to a lake Went by myself for heaven's sake Wandered alone, into the woods Did all the things I knew that I should And thought about... Echo Park (cont.) Stand in one place, alone in my room Smelled all the shit and dreamt of perfume With no TV, and nothing to do The cat and me thinking of you. Yeah we'll be down at... Echo Park (cont.)

wrecking ball, cannot be sure what it is that you want when we were, in her room i had something that i've lost And it's a weird experience, but it's our best bet. broken hands, and no excuse and nobody to bring flowers to it was you and me, we could not save and now you've been picked up by a wave And it's a weird experience, but it's our best bet.

I can't wait for you no longer In a perfect world I could but... I'll be moving on now baby Sorry that you could not accept my heart. You we're better off now baby at least that's what you we're thinking But you missed my heart my baby You couldn't even see it, shining for you. Yeah... shining for you. I didn't care, I fell asleep Just wasn't there, I overreached. It's in my head, 10 points of light. Go to bed, doesn't feel right. Good friends in love, I play for keeps. We messed it up, I had a ring. Everybody just needs somebody. I wish I didn't need you in the morning when I am awake. But it's not that simple baby, When i start to shake... I miss my heart (cont.)

7 years together now I'm sitting here without you, trying to find the courage to say goodbye cause i have cried so many nights, since you broke my heart and i didn't give up on you, you gave up on me. And another year later and i'm still sitting here alone and my heart wanders to you, like a dog without a home and i still haven't done away with all the things that you used to hate and when i see you around, you are doing well. and i know you think you're better off without me but part of you just knows that isn't true and i know that you're not as satisfied with him as you we're with me and only time will tell, i'm sure we'll both be doing well so right now i'm just trying to say goodbye i still love you, but we gave it our best try and i still don't think i gave up on you, you gave up on me so right now, there is no goodbye to be.

Put me on a train in the morning and you might find why you can't live alone There's an upside, fools-ride, family full of- old minds, youth, and fireside chemicals It's a landslide beyond belief And it's heart ache with no relief. You're the only one playing everyone don't you think that you oughta figure it out Well don't you save your breath it's for everyone there's something on your mind but you won't let it out. It's a secret that's so discreet And it's a grown man who can't compete And it's a rough night to hit the streets.

Nice Way... 03:28
I got my head screwed on straight I did it for once I watched the waves roll by I kissed the sky And then I took a deep breath I started to smile My legs went straight And my heart went wild And so I headed to the bar I got up on the stage Once was never enough I gave fuel to the rage Cause when the music is good And the poetry rolls And the dance hall shakes And it's not under control Until the pulse shakes you baby yeah... the beat shakes you baby And it's not under control. No it's not under control anymore But it's a nice way to meet someone you wanted to know.

All I need to learn is how to wake up and to sleep And to be the kind of person who is calm when they breathe Someone told me what you do is follow your heart That seemed smart, I did that-- I chose art. I'll be a famous singer riding on a tour bus I'll get puss and discuss the business Maybe god was tired, so he handed it to us Finally advise I can trust. But lately I'm just wasted and I'm tired of myself With no dough and nowhere to go, I'm solo And so low I can't keep my head above the water The dream in the distance getting farther I won't give up, you can still put money in my cup And I'll be here until I make the hands go up But the discipline is tough I try and keep my life cleaner Depression, the curse of the dreamer. So just be mine girl, I don't believe in the chase I like the color of your hair and your nice tril waist I like the way the moonlight lights up your face It's late, let's begin the real date Now take your time sweet girl this is our night From now on you can always know you're gonna be alright And the starts shine so bright. Anything is possible. 1,2,3, for creativity 4 & 5 for the smile that I hide 6,7,8, because by now it's too late 9 & 10 and by now I'm your best friend 11 & 12 and tomorrow will be hell. 13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24 Will I die from being lonely? (I don't want to die young) Well my liver has failed. (I don't want to die young) There's a tumor in my head. (I don't want to die young) I got too much to do (I don't want to die young) Should I not give a fuck? (I don't want to die young) I'm a king what the fuck? (I don't want to die young) It's a roll of the dice (I don't want to die young) Well i want a family (I don't want to die young) Because I'm trapped in the lies I created for myself I feel crazy and fucked up and lately i just want to sleep when I open my eyes. i will shine but right now I'm barely alive And it's right there but I can't seem to swallow my pride And I'm too scared to face what is killing inside If we could do it again, I wouldn't let you fly I'd hold onto you for life. But i fucked it up, so I'm back at the start The roar from the beast that explodes in my heart And the songs that I play when it's just me If people could just see, that really there for everybody Just want to take it all back, star charts like the indians Buffalo breath and arrow heads from obsidian The green in the trees the planets in the sky The dreams I just won't let die.
