Can’t stop looking at your face Staring across the room Wanting to talk to you But not knowing what to do Inching closer Taking this slow We’ve got time, yeah we’ve got Oh we’ve got time I should leave, things probably won’t go my way But your lights were so bright I couldn’t stay away Come on let’s see how this goes I mean how bad could it be We’re already friends And it’s only the start It’s only the start We said we’d see each other next week Who knew that would be a lie Cause you were gone And so was I
2.
What am I supposed to do with my life Look at her and I sitting by the fire docks On the telephone I know you’re far At least you’re not stoned I know you used to Staring at these white walls They get played after a while What am I supposed to do with my life Look at her and I sitting by the fire docks I’m hiding by myself I’m hiding by myself I’m hiding by myself
3.
Last night I drove for the first time I didn’t get very far got a long ways to go Got a long ways to get home So I turn on the radio To a song I’ve heard a thousand times before I unconsciously sing along Then you roll by in my mind again Your hair tangles my heart It’s skipping beats sitting here waiting wishing on you What should I do Cause I’m so in love with you
4.
I think I told you once that I could wait forever I was so fucking wrong I try to pass the time waste the days write another song It sucks, you tell me that you liked it I always wondered if you lied But why would you need to lie I would believe every word you say God I fucked up this time Why do I care why does this matter I’m sorry for wasting your time I was surprised with all the times you had stood by me Even when I did you wrong And I can’t seem to figure out The best way to get through this but I wish I could let it go And in a year or two maybe I’ll know what to do Then we could try to figure this out Cause right now my vision is faded I can’t see you gotta help me out Why do I care why does this matter I’m sorry for wasting your time
5.
You look so cold, here take my jacket It’ll keep you warm for now And if you want to, hold my hand It’ll keep away the cold from our hearts And we’ll go to the park, lay down in the grass I got snow all over my ass And I’ll (you’ll) play my (your) guitar And you’ll (I’ll) sing along And we’ll write a new song together Now it’s getting dark, I should probably go home But I keep getting lost in your eyes Now the moon’s coming out, I really need to get home But you look so beautiful tonight My parents will worry, they’re so uptight I know but stay it’ll be alright But I really need to get home I’m so sorry (It’s alright, It’s alright) Didn’t want you to worry (It’s alright, It’s alright) You should probably go (It’s alright, It’s alright) Let’s just lay here in the snow
6.
I stood in the rain You stole my umbrella last time you came over You always leave me in the cold You always leave me all alone I wanted to watch cartoons You said that you wanted to watch the news So we made a compromise and watched Saturday Night Live And I cried in the bathroom But not because of you Yeah I’m over you I swear If I had stayed nothing would be the same If I had stayed nothing would be the same And that apartment The one that you wanted to get downtown in the pearl Where we could hang out by the water And I could play my guitar for you Yeah I could write another song for you Yeah you’d make me write another song for you But nothing ever seems to work (I really don’t know) The way that you planned it (How bout we just take it slow) The way you expect it The way it’s suppose to (I just want this to go) The way that you want it to
7.
I can never let you go You’re apart of my soul You're the best girl I know I texted your friends but they still haven't responded Why do they always make me feel like shit I’m sorry to say that I’m not the one that you wanted But I guess I’ll just have to trust it will work out in the end All of our friends are off on some distant planet And we are alone in some basement again And every time I look at your California eyes I can’t help but to do a little grin Remember the time that we both said we wanted to leave Then you pulled around and you tugged on my sleeve And you said to me those words I can’t stop repeating Trust is a two way street will you wait for me Oh trust is a two way street will you wait for me That’s why I’m standing here
8.
You’re only happy when you’re in my bed You’re only scared when you get stuck in my head And you say that you would rather be dead Then have to eat another slice of bread I wanna go back to your house I want you to wear that pretty blouse You know the ones with all the flowers When I’m with you I stare at you for hours What should I do What should I do You’re scaring all the ones you love But you want them to get better too So just learn to forgive yourself Then maybe they could learn to forgive you What should I do What should I do I wanna save you I wanna save you You’re only happy when you’re in my bed You’re only scared when you get stuck in my head And you say that we should both be dead Cause we ate another slice of BREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU’RE ONLY SAFE WHEN YOU’RE INSIDE MY BED YOU’RE ONLY SCARED WHEN YOU GET STUCK IN MY HEAD AND YOU SAY THAT WE SHOULD BOTH BE DEAD CAUSE WE ATE ANOTHER SLICE OF BREAD
9.
I took a sharpie and a white washed wall I scribbled my dream from last night But all I saw was your face and A mistake I made a year ago Dreaming of spaceships flying away Wanting you to go but letting you stay Five days till I’m gone from this hell And then I’ll be in a new place Are you kidding me right now I’ve been ready to go for the past five hours You really need to calm down You’re crashing just like the twin tower Maybe if I stand alone Everything will just stay the same Maybe if I stand alone Everything will just stay the same
10.
I've been living in this town Watching you run around Let's just play our little school games And hide behind all of our shame It's as easy as 1 2 3 You should just run away with me Baby if you come outside Then I wouldn't have to hide Baby you know how much I love you
11.
Said we needed to talk I don’t know about what But you said you said you said it was serious Asked me what are we doing I said I don’t know but I’m still so I’m still so happy So if you wanna leave I would understand And give you some time to breathe And I’ve been waiting for something to happen But it’s not happening And you’ve been listening to me talk for almost a year now And it’s not helping no I love you I love you I know you do I know you do La da da da And I’ve been listening to you talk for almost a year now And I’ve been waiting for something to happen But it’s not happening so I guess we can just be friends
12.
I went down to the city docks Where I first met with tears in your eyes And all I could do was stare blindly You were always behind me And I was right by your side Now we stay inside all day You and I are wasting away You’ll go and I’ll stay and we’ll say everyday This is my song for you You were a big pile of rocks I picked you up and put you in my car And then we drove pretty far You were a big red balloon I held you so tight you popped And now you’re blue And all our friends will leave us in the end You and I we’ll be alone again I’ll go and you’ll stay and we’ll say everyday This is my song for you I can’t Get past I don’t wanna Put this pressure on you So I pick up my guitar and I write another song And I tell my friends to play along (Here we go!) This has been This has been another wasted year Another wasted year I'll go down to the city docks Where I first met you With stars in your eyes
