I'm not trying to drink from your bottle I'm an honest man
and I'm straight but they call me a faggot they don't like my band
but I don't mind I'm not trying to scoop every butterfly out of the sky
no I don't mind I'm gonna sing sing sing tonight
I'm gonna sing sing sing til I die
days seem long waiting to sing our songs
no one goes on and on I know I know

locate the wrong today won't fit
please don't not call me your friend
to pieces from a working man
berate this song ignore it
berate this song and ignore it
please don't not call me your friend
she's forgotten in your head
to correct when i'm wrong
would a lonely kinda girl check you out?
you could wait in line you could start looking round
loneliness waits past where you'll stay forever more
to correct when i'm wrong

coffee hits me wrong these days
I'm sweeping up the floor
in the familiar life of here I am stranded
so forget your drunken Christmases and fuck me

"run away" said the day and I didn't argue
I called you dead like all the rest
my thoughts are away from the men who've held you
I turn my head to the west
she's not the kind of dame who'll take you away from your guitar
whoever you are it's alright you know I love her
when these cold songs disappear
and these thoughts I can't call home
I'll let the sober morning clear
I'll let the sober hands steer
then I'll know I'm not alone
don't tell me nothing is alright you know I love her

you're being careful you're a doormat
don't give too much away
I know that you will stand beside her on her wedding day
could there be anything much sadder than a man stuck on a chain?
well I hope she helps carry that weight
should you be settling for never coming out to play?
cuz you never will if she has her way

You got big ears and we've been waiting so long to carry on
I gotta bottle it out
I said hey no way could it be that what you need is me because I read and so do you I gotta lot of it too
so got on this game that'll take you away
I believe it cuz I've seen it and I'm screaming like I'm bleeding and you're feeling like seeing me here
so get on this game it's another way of saying okay and yeah you're saying okay
it's been a long year and we've been waiting so long to hear a new song you've got a lot of them on your computer that's great now make me a CD you know that it'll take me to a place I wanna be with you
just when I didn't believe
that's when you found me
because I read and so do you

Late you'll drive all the way home
stay the night keep the days long
inner cries are for the movies
do you cry just to prove it?
Come out later and tell your friends this summer I'm just stuck working
so I don't hate it because this is it this summer I'm just staying in
You're beautiful girl got your eye on the world I gotta look in your eyes to notice
Come out later and tell your friends this summer I'm just staying in
so I don't hate it because this is it this summer I'm just stuck working

dont wait up
dont lie down inside a head of hollow love yous
i want a lonely girl
take me outside and never leave her waiting
back again
and i know it's all you
inside the head and the games that you play
waiting on no one
ill wait up
you'll come around
you know it's all i wanna see
i want a nighttime girl
bring her inside and never leave her waiting on no one

All eyes on you in a happy way
the nights are long when you sleep all day and you belong home with me
I'm breaking bottles in a horseless town my babies ghost still hangs around and I ain't on your side
Maybe I'll catch you on the phone
a selfish girl should sleep alone
what kind of love you looking for?
don't tell me everything is gone
Hard looking at you when you look that way
but you know I'm here to stay and you belong home with me

Don't tell me why I wonder why for
your eyes the kind the hungry die for
she's in the kitchen maybe thinking you've been missing who you're kissing in the kitchen maybe thinking you've been missing her
I wonder why for
what would you die for

I'd like to walk around here without thinking about my smile
I'd like to talk to you without drinking just for a while
oh I long to have your arms around me so gently
the nights are long when you can't sleep
I'd like to be the call you make when you only get one call
I'd like to be the love you make when you only have love for one
Your man is wrong for you so leave
my last girl thought to run
oh baby leave your man and i'll show you who I am
your calendar will show
the way your love might come to me and be not like the rest

the lights revealing strange lines on your face you've been sleeping upside down again or does his face look like a blanket left it's prints upon your face like a firework in a public place so obvious and teeming and swollen like your lips now while you're swallowing your chips and if the last piece catches your throat you'll know much more than this that life is fleeting not for eating and that this ramble has no resolve if anything is something it isn't hard to solve now because everything is something i hope you hope
so let the sun beat down upon you toast your face a golden brown and with this tan I'll hold your hand and keep the bugs away because I'm a man no more flailing arms in houses driving wedges between spouses and soon it will be winter with the humming wind so bitter make no mistake about this place it's real it's there it's this disgrace and this will keep us warm until you find out what it is so don't keep your eyes behind the glasses bright and beaconesque and if these words will tell you my heart would turn black inside my chest because so long I loved to think of you and me as something like together

fighting gold is lonely when i can't watch your temper sit down
keep it on the burner hands upon the candles burn like love
baby I'll be your law of averages
I ain't special but I'm yours
mathematics and science
are like twin heartbeats
go on undone with your broken faith without key

who wants to be forgotten?
all these hands shake to belong to keep your grip strong
Send me your sunshine rake my back long nails are necessary to get along
When ink has dried and you're awake girl too late to tell jokes don't be afraid to tell all:
don't fuck with me
