Corners

(chorus)
maybe leave me on the road on the corner
i could be something that you could never hope to be as
everyone says to me
you are starving
here without her
feeling safe inside these memories
fall asleep in all the reverie that's coming on
every one is coming back to me
and i know
and i know i cannot trust them now
(chorus)
maybe keep me for yourself for your borders
we could be something that they could only hope to be as
everyone is saying
how'd you do it
how'd you get there
but i'm safe inside this ecstacy
all their words they fall away from me
don't matter now
ashamed to say that this is what i need
but i know
but i know that i'll be all right now
(chorus)
so you leave me on the road on the corner
i will be something that you could never hope to be
and
everyone says to me
you were falling
til you found her
i'm betrayed by all my memories
aware i'm days away from what i need
and all my fault
falling back on all these tendencies
as they go
don't you know you should be home by now

so i saw her
sitting there
with those eyes and
golden hair
(chorus)
don't play a love song
now i'm here and
i don't know why
drowning in my
summertime
and i don't
understand
all these words
that i've said
i'm a natural born survivor
and you're slipping through my hands
(chorus)
so i saw her
sitting there
with those eyes and
golden hair
(chorus)

but we'll take you home

(chorus)
tie me up in knots
if that's the way you'll have it
make your great escape

in all of the wrong places
just time enough
to know you never were missed
fact of the matter's
we're going down here
just look around
like you're not so sure and
now every girl that
i saved for later
has disappeared
come out for the summer
(prechorus)

Summer's Almost Over
04:21
|
|||
it's gonna work out
you're better off they say to me
but no one even cares about us
no one gives a damn about us
it's gonna work out
you're better off they say to me
but no one gives a damn about us
no one even cares about us
(chorus)
outside your bedroom
i wish you would come home
i want to see you one more time
summer's almost over
they're taking you from me
don't wanna start over
to see you without me
stuck here on the ground
the east coast is jealous of you
but you don't even care about us
you don't give a damn about us
(chorus)

summer's almost over

Western Sun
02:05
|
|||
i took the long way
just to tell you
he's not the one
like you for me
two years apart
it only still proves, i want you
but you want to
hold this over me
it's for the best
i don't confront you
i speak my mind
all blasphemy
if there's a hope
i'd jump from the queue,
to get through
i can't get by
on certainty
(chorus)
we go out
drink too much
now i'm fucked
leave me here
western sun
while i'm out
pick me up
souvenirs
(instrumental)
(chorus)
we go out
drink too much
now i'm fucked
leave me here
western sun
while i'm out
pick me up
souvenirs
sound alone
gets you there
wars go on
every year
midnight run
soldiers on
wall comes down
we were here

Modern Static
01:52
|
|||
sharing cigarettes playing now dead verses
my eyes are blank i'm alone
modern static it goes, makes my ears ring
so broke in front, this picture show
it's all we know
your temple crumbles so fast, the sight of me
a fight to stand up on your own
urgent friends bleed you dry, like they ought to
take to the freeway make their time
we're dressed in moonlight tonight, it's a parade
just floating light above the way
the streets are empty at night, where we once lived
years have come made it their own

Townie Nights
03:04
|
|||
those crazy townie nights
were fucked but made us who we are
driving round for sounds
with no goal in your broken little car
and i'm sorry
we never did escape
and i'm sorry
it's coming much too late
(prechorus)
i wanna tell you something else
i wanna tell you that this
didn't mean that much to me so
(chorus)
we know just what we have in store
the wheel it never changes course
just scraping by and drinking time
6 miles bleed us til we're dry
we fight each night to find a light
to carry us right through
all the fables we are able
to convince ourselves are true
and i'm sorry
we can't escape our fate
yeah i'm sorry
i guess we'll have to wait
(prechorus)
i wanna tell you something else
i wanna tell you that this
didn't mean that much to me so
(chorus)

Put Mom on the Tele
03:00
|
|||
put mom on the tele
whenever you're ready
no it's not your fault
i'd sooner be forgetting
that i have to call
put mom on the tele
i'll talk if you let me
but it's all my fault
i'd sooner be forgetting
that i'm gone at all
(chorus)
i have never bled so badly
as when your words ran right through me
all that sweet imagination
has been spilling from my head
so please please take it from me
i never wanted to leave
i never wanted to be so far from now
so please please take it from me
i never wanted to be
i never wanted to be so far aground
wish i could've known you
wish i could've known you'd be on your own
but i'm hoping you'll see through
all the words i wrote
so put mom on the tele
if she's even ready
or not at all
cos this day will be ending
in a gray tableau
(chorus)

The Same
02:14
|
|||
there is reason to
believe that we
are floating with
no self esteem
these paper days
are tearing me
it's half past shit
we're old
