"I knew who I was this morning,
but I've changed a few times since then."
--Alice in Wonderland

covered in a blanket on a sunday porch,
thinking of the weekends, she would party
in the city. she doesn't have a flame. she'd
prefer to burn out like a torch. if she gets nowhere in life,
at least she knows she's pretty.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song.
You go ahead, let your hair down. Sapphire and faded
jeans, I hope you get your dreams. Just go ahead,
let your hair down.

He says things a little
too well and comes off
a little too cute.

Don't be that note I can't hold
Well don't be that joke that I told and told 'til it got old
Don't be that hand 'round my throat so I can't breathe
Say you're my friend but why won't you be my family?
And if you break, just don't tell me

These wars cannot be spoken
Your words were never broken
Daydreams at night are stolen
Your lies;
Those lights will burn
And you never, and you never learn.
Tried to wake up,
Couldn't shake that side of me

i'll stand as still as you need
cause you're so good at talking smack,
heart attack
but you're the apple of my eye, anyway

you crawled into my mind
when you crawled into my bed.
said everything i've ever longed to hear.

If we all don't take cover we're all gonna fall back in love again
You work late to fight off your pulse
Your patient dies, you take the night off
They worked out all of the bugs
If you have enough money you can buy love

And I thought I mattered.
Tell me I still matter.

I lied to him.
Straight to his face.
I couldn't bare to tell him
that he is the only thing I need.

I'm gonna tell you what you want to hear anyways.
I could give myself a shot, I could get myself a pill.
I'm gonna go and try to buy a little more time to kill.
I need a can opener, cuz I got some beans to spill.

they're singing deck the halls,
but it's not like christmas at all.
i remember when you were here,
all the fun we had last year.
if there was a way,
i'll hold back these tears.
but it's Christmas day,
baby please come home.

And it's hard to be a human being
And it's harder as anything else
And I'm lonesome when you're around
And I'm never lonesome when I'm by myself
And I miss you when you're around

If he's the first person you
look for when you walk into
a room, then he must be a
little bit more than just a friend.

At the end there is a house by the sea
like a perfect end of a movie
From in here there is just these gray walls around you

And boy,
it scares the hell out of me,
knowing I may never get over you.

Well I haven't had enough and I said I had my fill.
The past does not exist and I'm told it never will.
I guess that I'm stuck here like a plant on a windowsill.

Best friends never tell each other
they're best friends - they just know.

No reference no consequence
I think of you, I think of you
No commitment, nonexistent
Lovely you, I think of you

Everyone has a moment..
where they know when they
wake up tomorrow
nothing will be the same.

when we were fifteen,
i believed i could ask god for you.
as if i could earn you with unashamed faith,
and the shear frequency of my asking.

You make it impossible to love you.

your finger closed around mine blindly
the way an infant will grip any finger held within reach
so i won't ever say you chose me
no one gave you many choices back then

When there is no more room in Hell,
the dead will walk the Earth.

if i had just one bullet and a trigger i'd pull it
shoot my cupid out of the sky
break off his wings, and gouge out his eyes
AND THANK HIM FOR NOTHING CUS THAT'S ALL THAT HE GAVE TO ME.
your love is my heart disease.

I love you.
Not maybe, not tomorrow, not someday,
right now - at this very moment.
I realized something.
I need you. I trust you, I admire you,
I want you.

thought if only I could try and change
That all my pain would be in yesterday
But it's true I'm still blue
But I finally know what to do
I must quit, I must quit you

the waitress is practicing politics
as the businessmen slowly get stoned,
yes, theyre sharing a drink they call loneliness,
but it's better than drinkin alone.

I would look you squarely in the eye and say,
"I'm sorry, I have a strictly no boys policy these days."
You would keep looking at me in that knowing way,
as if you were still waiting for me to answer.
I would smile at you and say,
"How about Friday?"

And you can be wrong a lot of the time,
and we can fight, and get mad at each other,
but nothing, nothing in this world
can change the fact that I love you.

I liked the sensation of uncertainty.

Crisp leaves, coffee shops, and long, plaid scarves
Autumn winds, photographs, and starry nights
Our hands laced together and you squeezing me tight
I can't remember a Fall ever feeling so right.

'cause the walls start shaking
the earth was quaking
my mind was aching
and we were making it and you
shook me all night long

Explain to me why you did it.
Don't say it didn't mean anything
because at that point,
it was exactly what you wanted.

"do you know how mI may have got an invitation but i wasn't invited.
But I thought that this meant something more than broken hearts and new addictions.
We'll leave our sins within the carpet twine.
Our bodies will dissolve the chemicals in due time. any nights i've cried over you?
how many good days i've wasted thinking about you?
how many boys i let pass me by, thinking you would be back?"
she screamed her heart out at the boy she once loved. "it's
your turn." were her last words, as she walked away.

can you see me, floating above your head
as you lay in bed, thinking about everything
that you did not do
cause saying i love you
has nothing to do with meaning it

This is for the girls that are in love with that guy,
but he's in love with another girl. For the ones that are considered "just a friend"
and sit and listen to him talk about this other girl, meanwhile,
knowing that she is no good and would just drag him down,
but sit and nod along because you don't want him to think that you aren't there for him. This is for the girls that put away messages up,
delicately picked out so maybe, just maybe he would get a mere glimpse of
how you feel about him. But he never does, he plays it off
and you just live with the feeling hidden away, tucked away,
a treasure that you will never give away, a secret you are never going to tell.

Do you think I'm lying?
I lie all the time.

three cigarettes deeper and deeper.
i've been drinking more and eating less,
i'm a mess without you laying here

you're the star
and it's the scene where
you let down everyone who cares.

Isn't it funny how
day by day nothing changes,
but then when you look back,
everything is different.

I know.
I knew before you got home.
This world you're in now,
It doesn't have to be alone,
I'll get there somehow, 'cause
I know, I know, I know
when even springtime feels cold.

I called my mama, she was out for a walk
Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk
So I picked up a paper, it was more bad news
More hearts being broken or people being used
Put on my coat in the pouring rain
I saw a movie, it just wasn't the same.

Pull back the shield between us and I'll kiss you.
Drop your defenses and come into my arms.
I'm all for believing, I'm all for believing.

Here's to the moments
where we didn't think about right and wrong,
where we just lived, crossed our fingers
and hoped for the best.

And so I'll run, but not too far,
incase you chase me,
But this is how it goes, baby.
I'll get angry at your words and I'll go home,
And you won't call after me
'cause I'll be back before you know.

And that's when i realized,
i didnt stand a chance.

I've always been chasing rainbows,
Staring out of classroom windows.
I don't think I'll ever be happy,
Unless I'm unhappy.

We met by chance.
Two kids with a whole lot to lose.

the jukebox is in the corner.
my mouth is the speaker.
it plays your favourite songs
and you know where the coin slot is.
isn't that what you expect?
i can sing you to sleep.
and all you want from me is
a broken heart.

Day eighteen thousand two hundred and fifty-three
well honey that's fifty years,
yeah here's to you and me.

Well you thought I'd wait around forever...
But baby get real
I just kicked you to the curb
In my red high heels

She wakes up every morning with the desire
of that one guy that changed her whole life.
The desire to hear him say,
'I love you,'
just another time.

Take me, take me back to your bed.
I love you so much that it hurts my head.
Say I don't mind you under my skin.
I'll let the bad parts in, the bad parts in.
When we were made, we were set apart.
Life is a test and I get bad marks.
Now some saint got the job of writing down my sins.

If I rise and we fall
Will we find ourselves remembering at all?
You're never coming back
It never hurt like this
Are we understanding or withstanding?

counting all my relevant friends
well this keeps coming up again and again
if everybody knows how it's gonna end
why doesn't someone stop me
because I'm sick of waking up on your floor
for the 6th or 7th night in a row
i'm lying next to you in all of my clothes
someone stop me?

Sleeping's overrated, we lie awake and cry. If this is
love then kill me now and save me from my life.

Let's run away to a place where
the air tastes like rain
and the sun shines like sunday morning.
You bring your laugh and I'll
bring my sense of humor, and
we can taste the days,
one week after another.

You walk like a zombie.
You talk like a zombie.
It's not in your head;
you're the living dead.

when i say i miss you,
it's not an attempt to fill the silence.
it's a fact.

It's just like a long lost friend
you haven't seen in a while,
you can't help but smile.

your life's a flashback, a question,
a photograph, a statement.
a struggle, a chance to laugh. 

It's the way you tell me you love me
after I tell you to leave me alone.
And the way you put up with all my
little flaws.
It's the way you show me that you care,
when I don't show you an ounce of respect.

picture yourself in a boat on a river,
with tangerina trees and marmalade skies.

Throw it away, forget yesterday, we'll make the
great escape. We wont hear a word they say,
they don't know us anyway. Watch it burn,
let it die, cause we are finally free tonight.

don't waste your time with people
who don't make you feel alive.

I only wanted you to stay
Linger and mean the words you said
Foolishly I romanticized
Someone was saving my life
For the first time
I only wanted you to be there
When I opened up my eyes

i'm a slow motion accident, lost in coffee
rings and fingerprints. i don't want to feel
anything, but i do, and it all comes back to you.

I really miss your hair in my face
and the way your innocence tastes.
and I think you should know this
you deserve much better than me.

get over yourself and say goodbye.
forget my name, forget my face.
i hope you get on a plane
and forget this place.

Millions of sunsets, but the one I'll remember
The one where you told me
you'd love me forever

and all she really wants is a boy who will
look past the shyness, the awkwardness,
and love her for it.

you'd think he's addicted to himself
but he wishes he could be someone else.

rain pours from the sky while the branches sway.
i sit here in the dark looking out my window
thinking, "what a beautiful sight."

He never meant for it to end.
He wanted to give her everything.
So when she said, "higher," he pushed her higher.
But she said, "No. Higher."

she knows things are changing,
and she knows she can cope.
she has faith in everything,
and she's gleaming with hope.

you were given this life;
because your strong enough to live it.

and it's over before you know it.
it all goes by so fast. yeah,
the bad nights take forever and
the good nights don't ever last.

I told myself I won't miss you,
but I remember what it feels like beside you.

she's the type of girl who sits on her roof,
who rides bikes in stores, who sleeps in class, 
who always makes you laugh. she's the girl who'll
never get over the guy who knows all of this.

"tell me my dreams are unrealistic,
because i'll tell you,
yours aren't big enough."

most people are other people.
their thoughts are someone else's opinon,
their life's a mimicry, their passion's a quotation.

Stay the same
I think we're better off this way
Play your game
I'd rather fight then fade away

Sometimes, someone can
mean so much to you,
not even the truth can change
your mind.
