College
03:03

I don't know if I miss you
or if I just miss college
I don't know if we're really friends
or just alcoholics
I don't know how to talk
without my hands
in my pockets
I don't know if I should
pick it up or just fucking drop it
Does it depend on the situation?
What do I do now
what do I do now
I don't know if I miss you
or if I just miss Tolland
I don't know if we'll ever be
the things that we wanted
It's the dirt and the dust
in summer air full of pollen
It's the room of the house
that I will always keep haunted
Am I the jist of a generation
what do I do now
I'm looking back on my graduation
what do I do now
what do I do now
what do I do now

Adult Friends
03:45
|

When you're in Vermont
and I'm still in West Hartford
It's all that I want
I'll pray for an early departure
When I'm in the city
and you're still in West Hartford
I know that it's shitty
I wish we were never apart
But when you grow up
with adult friends find
that you'll only see them
from time to time
and you'll only talk
when the stars align
or your busy lives
with schedules
allow it
When you're in your car
I'll wait on the concrete divider
I know that it's far
I wish we were still in West Hartford
But when you grow up
with adult friends find
that you'll only see them
from time to time
and you'll only talk
when the stars align
or your busy lives
with schedules
And when you grow up
with adult friends find
that you'll only see them
from time to time
and you'll only talk
when the stars align
or your dinner times
and time zones allow it
Yea when you grow up
with adult friends find
that you'll only see them
from time to time
and you'll only talk
when the stars align
or your busy lives
with schedules
And when you grow up
with adult friends find
that you'll only see them
from time to time
and you'll only talk
when the stars align
or your dinner times
and time zones allow it

Song Six and a Half
02:28
|

Here's a song
For a girl
That I wrote behind a wheel
Let me tell you
All the things
That I don't really feel
Yeah I know
That I'm not
But I never said I am
And I know
What you want
So I'll say I understand
You're always there for me
You're always there
Here's a song
For a girl
That I'll never get to meet
Add yourself
To the list
Of things not meant to be
Here's a line
For the friends
That I'll never see again
And the notes
That I wrote
But was too afraid to send
You're always there for me
You're always there
Here's the slow interlude
that I felt obliged to do
Summarize the sentiments
of verses one and two
Now the drums come back in
With a sick distorted riff
Someone arpeggiate
Major sevenths thirds and fifths
You're always there for me
You're always there

NYC
02:04
|
|||
I came to the big city
with big aspirations
knowing well that reality
never matched my expectations
so why would it start now
why am I let down
get me off the ground
and get me home bound
cuz FYI
NYC isn't all it's cracked up to be
and now I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
FYI
NYC isn't all it's cracked up to be
and now I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
da na na na na na na na na na naa na (x2)
I came to the big city
in bad constellations
self fulfilling a prophesy
to match my expectations
And I brought it down
on my own account
get me off the ground
and get me home now
and FYI
NYC isn't all it's cracked up to be
and now I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
FYI
NYC isn't all it's cracked up to be
and now I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home

Now to clean the mess you started
twenty months ago
cluttered junk stuffed in the closet's
tough to let it go
When the past is a friend you know
When the past is a friend you know
Suddenly the party's ending
everybody's gone
you still stuck around pretending
you could still move on
But its hard to let it go
when the past is a friend you know
And its all mixed up in mixed emotion
upside down and right side up
all that time wasted on bullshit
all that nothings adding up
to not very much
to not very much
to not very much
to not very much
All mixed up in mixed emotion
(now to clean the mess you started twenty months ago )
upside down and right side up
(cluttered junk stuffed in the closet's tough to let it go)
all that time wasted on bullshit
(Suddenly the party ended everybody's gone )
all that nothings adding up
(you still stuck around pretended you could still move on)
you'll see, I'm all red
you'll see, I'm all red
I'm all red
I'm all red
I'm all red
I'm all red
I'm all red
I'm all red
I'm all red
I'm all red
you'll see, I'm all red
you'll see, I'm all red
I'm all red
I'm all red
I'm all red
I'm all red
I'm all red
I'm all red
I'm all red
I'm all red

Most Angels
00:35
|

I was waiting for the dust to settle
in the wake of my most horrendous crimes
You were laying in a grassy meadow
did it hurt when you fell from the sky?
Most angels, most angels can fly
Most angels, most angels can fly

Latte

so I'll play

And if you hate I'll understand
if you're late I'll understand

I was going nowhere fast
So show me the door
I'll become a thing of the past

Sidewalks

Watching Wes Anderson Movies
always gets me down
I'm sorry when its hard to get through me
I know that freaks you out
Watching West World on the weekends
at my parents house
It got old so fast we couldn't make it last
but that's something, that's something now
And they're repaving the sidewalks
on my block one at a time
and I'm reading what the kids have written
I can't seem to find
a refrain from a love song
that you wrote in four four time
a refrain from a love song
that you wrote in four four time
And the windows from your bedroom
all reflect in all the light
the windows from your bedroom all
reflect in all the light
Like a refrain from a love song
that you wrote in four four time
like a refrain from a love song
that you wrote in four four time
What can you do when everything is falling over
what can you do when everything is falling apart
I like to think I'm not such an awful loner
but then when push comes to shove how I know in my heart
I'm only one step from it
I can't see it
I can't touch it
I'm only one step from it
off a summit
downward plummet
I'm only one step from it
What did you do when I was drunk and you were sober
what did you say when I was getting cold in the car
I like to think you're not such an ANACOVA
but then when push comes to shove
I'm a dot on a chart
And they're repaving the sidewalks
on my block one at a time
and I'm reading what the kids have written
I can't seem to find
a refrain from a love song
that you wrote in four four time
a refrain from a love song
that you wrote in four four time
And the windows from your bedroom
all reflect in all the light
the windows from your bedroom all
reflect in all the light
Like a refrain from a love song
that you wrote in four four time
like a refrain from a love song
that you wrote in four four time
Like a refrain from a love song
that you wrote in four four time
like a refrain from a love song
that you wrote in four four time
Watching Wes Anderson Movies
always gets me down
I'm sorry when its hard to get through me
I know that freaks you out

Life on Mute

This is my favorite song
I played it for you on your lawn
I used the same three chords
I've used a hundred times before
And I wrote a melody
to show you what you mean to me
I wrote a silly verse
to tell you just how cute you were
And now I'm harking back
to words I know are tried and true
but I love you
I love you
I love you
This is my favorite tune
I wrote it for you late last June
We were just wide eyed kids
on the brink of nothing big
And I wrote a stupid line
I think about you all the time
My mediocrity
is showing through
from every seam
And now I'm harking back
to words I know are tried and true
but I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

Shotgun
02:16
|

I woke up in Vegas
still high on cocaine
there's someone
in my bed
I open the shade
The day times
and night times
are one in the same
the girls are
all nameless
I don't know their names
My dad takes
the garbage cans
out to the curb
my mom and
my sister are
highly concerned
I woke up in Vegas
still drunk on champagne
the girls are
all topless
their smiles
are fake
shotgun

There
03:34
|
|||
you call me on the phone when you're there
you do what you're told when you're there
and they gave you a shotgun for the bears
and its cold to the bone over there
you sleep on a boat when you're there
you're panning for gold over there
and they made you cut off all your hair
and I wish you were home and not there
and I wish you were home and not there
and I wish you were home and not there
and I wish you were home and not there
and I wish you were home but you're there
and I wish you were home and not there
and I wish you were home and not there
and I wish you were home and not there
and I wish you were home but you're there
