runnin' my mouth
when I get tossed out
baby, you know it to be true
baby, Im stuck on you
runnin my mouth
when I get tossed out
baby, you know it to be true
baby, I'm addicted to you
I hate this part
just as much as the very start
I cant get off the floor
cause my arms they seem so sore
from holding onto something
not quite worth believing
and oh yes I feel weightless
but hate the way I feel it
you piss me off
but its all my fault
either way, would you feed me the line
runnin' my mouth
when I get tossed out
baby, you know it to be true
baby, Im stuck on you
runnin my mouth
when I get tossed out
baby, you know it to be true
baby, I'm addicted to you
and no, youre never going to seem to break me down
and no, Im never getting stuck in this
god damn dead ass town
and I hate the way you lie
but I love the way, way you lay
in my bed
Isnt that just sad?

Oh yes, I feel kinda weird
So, lets get the hell outta here
Oh, I know somethings wrong
Because you wont pick up your telephone
Oh, why don't we just go to bed?
Cause yours is the one I wanna lay my head
Oh, I know somethings wrong
Because you wont leave me the hell alone
In the land where angels weep
where muscadines fall from the leaves
And I gotta get away
But Im not sure why
I just gotta move on
And I gotta get away
But Im not sure why
I just gotta move on
Oh, when this night has come to end
well your always my sleepyhead
and I know somethings wrong
because I cant leave you the hell alone
And I gotta get away
But Im not sure why
I just gotta move on
And I gotta get away
But Im not sure why
I just gotta move on
Because I was a man
who shot the moon
and kissed the skies
I miss the taste of Bobby's moonshine
because it reminds me of you
Why don't you hold me under?

I wanted more
than you were willing to give
blood cells turn into paper
under my skin
under my skin
see Ive been paintin' with darker hues
and suddenly the world caves in
and all I could save you
was this heart tattoo
that I plastered on your lips
and if I see you at Scarletts affair
I wish that I could have
made something of worth
from these scribbled words
these scribbled words
written on the inside of a book from my childhood
and suddenly the world caves in
and all I could save you
was this heart tattoo
that I plastered on your lips
and If I see you a Scarletts affair
I hope I see you dance
I hope I see you dance
with that circle around your neck
your porcelain neck

Long Ride
03:49

It starts with a pause
then goes to a whisper
and thats when you lean in and kiss her
on the neck
and oh the nights run long
oh yeah oh yeah but I think Im beginning to like it
I take a long ride
into to the city
just to see a fortune tellers smile
and I feel stupid
and affictitious
and I dont know where home is, anymore
I take my medicine
but I hate that it tastes on my tongue
oh but I love how it makes me feel numb
oh yeah oh yeah I think Im beginning to like it
I take a long ride
into to the city
just to see a fortune tellers smile
and I feel stupid
and affictitious
and I dont know where home is, anymore
Who are you waitin' on?
Who are you waitin' on now?
just waitin' on the world
to crumble into nothing

Bad Week
03:58
|

|
And the weight of the world was on my shoulders
seems to be the only way I can hold you
now-a-days
Damn
Damn baby
where you going to?
Can I go there too?
Cause all I want is you
Damn
Damn baby
Plunge deep in your love
just to prove
that youre the one I'm dreamin' of
And I know its a little too late
but I know its a turn of fate
Ive been having such a bad week
oh, its been a hard year
and I know I should get off the floor
but I'm not sure how the hell how
from holdin' up masses and tearin' down castles
I don't think I'll ever reach
Oh well
Oh well
As I walk towards Blakes house
I get torn up
Torn up by the words of your love
that are not mine
Damn
Damn baby
and I love that dress
and in your happiness
you seem so innocent
Damn
Damn baby
I saw a shooting star
I wished upon it
and wondered where you were
and I know my words they do come out absurd
but I just want in your world
Ive been having such a bad week
oh, its been a hard year
and I know I should get off the floor
but I'm not sure how the hell how
from holdin' up masses and tearin' down castles
I don't think I'll ever reach
Oh well
Oh well
Oh well
Oh well

Standby
04:06

|
Give it to me
and I'll come clean
give it to me
and I'll come clean
oh yeah I'll come
clean
It's an awkward pause
when my self confidence is lost
I'm on standby
and when I'm with you
I smile ten miles wide
Give it to me
and I'll come clean
give it to me
and I'll come clean
oh yeah I'll come
clean
All my friends were there
drunk sittin' in their easy chairs
I'm on standby
and when I'm with you
I smile ten miles wide
And all we ever talked about
were the ashes in our mouthes
and oh my God
you were there
smoking your hand-rolled apache cigarette
just waitin' on a change
and my parents were on their front porch
laughing, wondering
is this heaven?
or hello, how are you?

Hey
The kid is back
He's back on track
And I'm not sure what he's doing
Hey

shes too stoned
And I'm not sure what she's saying
Hey

He's back on track
And I'm not sure what he's thinking

And I'm not sure what she's wearing
And she dont wanna

And she dont wanna

but she dont wanna
t-t-talk to you
And she dont wanna
seem rude
but she dont wanna
talk to you

Oh, I really tried my very best
to get you to stay
get you to be mine
all of my days
and for all time
I've been tryin' hard
get you to stay
get you to be mine
all of my days
and for all time
and its raining outside
darling I dont mind
I'm sick of the snow
I want you to know
If youre out in the rain
is anyone out there
on the window pane?
I swear to God it gets easier
to say
Is anyone other there
feel the way I do?

Worst of It All

Oo babe
gotta get you some
gone away
now here I go
I don't care if you stay or if you go
Oh oh I see it
comin' over that blood red sky
lickin' my cigarette
telling you a white toothed lie
if I could stay here
run with you in that tall green grass
I would be happy
I would never let a moment pass
Oo babe
gotta get you some
gone away
now here I go
I don't care if you stay or if you go
Cause it's a brain tongue tie twisted
and all the things that you're missing
its a brain tongue tie twisted
over you
I turn around quickly
because I thought I saw your ghost
dancing in the moonlight
in that flower dress I like the most
and every single word and every single thing I said
was all just a lie
to get you in my bed
In my arms
I'll be there
in my silk upholstery chair
your lipstick I can taste it
Call your name
in the dark
heres my heart
cause I swear the worst of it
is over
Carve your name in my skin
let me in
for the worst of it is over
and I could almost blame you

Wasted Youth
05:18

Swimming
in this dust bowl
baby I'm frightened
by how my life's getting on
Will you
come along with me
I swear
I'm not afraid to die anymore
Were just wasted youth
She's standing in the corridor
drinking from a wooden cup
with a frown on her face
bleeding for the passion
a paintbrush necromancer
cut in when the red runs out
oh well I believe
in everything
that comes
trickling out love
of your mouth
so I let go
and then she loses all sense of self control
And I don't mind if you don't mind
so lets pass the time
with drinking blueberry wine
Nights when she wakes up
cold inside the graveyard
clutching his old clothes
she's screaming over the balcony
throwing out her ouija keys
for he still haunts her dreams
and in her love-sick memories
she swears she couldve seen him
in the rain
notebook close
with sacred words
and then she loses all sense of self control
And I don't mind if you don't mind
so lets pass the time
with drinking blueberry wine
and then she loses all sense of self control
And I don't mind if you don't mind
so lets pass the time
with drinking blueberry wine
for were just wasted youth
