Give Me A Break
03:48

Swimming in the strait
Freezing, but fine
I try to breathe
I try to make you look at me
Crying in the car
Losing my mind
I try to hold you
But you just phase through me
so could you give me a break?
Give me some semblance of relief
It’s all i can take
It’s just getting old now
Im tired and run down
I’m trying to hold on
Im sick of the sad songs
So please get a move on
Oh, give me a break
Sleeping through the day
Dying at night
I try to hate you
I try to wish i didn’t know you
Keeping to myself
Lying to my friends
I try to live
But i fail
so could you give me a break?
Give me some semblance of relief
It’s all i can take
It’s just getting old now
Im tired and run down
I’m trying to hold on
Im sick of the sad songs
So please get a move on
Oh, give me a break
Lie like a dog and a husband
Say that it’s all out of love, then
Take what you want and destroy it
Keep going until i’ve got nothing
Tell me you don’t really hate me
Don’t hear a word that i’m saying
Say on the phone that you miss me
Call me a dick when you see me
(quiet) so could you give me a break?
Give me some semblance of relief
It’s all i can take
It’s just getting old now
Im tired and run down (kick back in)
I’m trying to hold on
Im sick of the sad songs
So please get a move on
Oh, give me a break
You said you couldn’t believe you had sex with me
not cause i’m hot but cause i was 18
and I didn’t know what to call my thoughts
so i just tried to forget it
two months later and nothing changed
but you finally decided to come out and say
that we weren’t even dating
Now I feel fucking stupid
Took a year alone and took some space
You apologised but you didn’t change
I took a chance at forgiveness
And i don’t know why I listened
Blame the drugs you’re on, blame the pain you felt
But never take the blame for the pain you’ve dealt
I don’t know how to share a bed
I don’t know how to fix my broken head

Crush

[Verse 1]
His window’s already passed
So he’s shooting at the glass
Keeping guns in his locker
And he denies it
Like it’s actually important
But he lied 'cause I sure did watch him
Showing up wearing black
And he knows that
His daddy’s on death row
But he’ll say it with his chest, though
His friends move dope
He hasn’t tried coke
But he’s always had a problem saying no
His older brother bagged the valedictorian
His mother steady screaming he should be more like him
[Chorus]
Can you read my mind? I’ve been watching you
(You know it, you know it, you know it, you know it’s true)
Couldn’t fight to save your lifе but you look so cool
Camo jacket robbing corner stores
Hard odds to bеat when you’re on all fours
Good men die too so I’d rather be with you
[Verse 2]
I owe you a black eye and two kisses
Tell me when you wanna come and get em
I only want him if he says it first to me
I wanna … him in the back of his mom’s Mercury
He looks like he works with his hands
And smells like Marlboro reds
It makes me so … and I can’t get enough of it
Something’s been feeling weird lately
There’s just something about you, baby
Maybe I’ll just be crazy
And piss him off ‘til he hates me
(Yeah right, he fucking loves me)
Low slung bad bitch, baby come and get you some
[Chorus]
Can you read my mind? I’ve been watching you
Couldn’t fight to save your life but you look so cool
(You know it, you know it, you know)
Camo jacket robbing corner stores
Hard odds to beat when you’re on all fours
Good men die too so I’d rather be with you
Oh, I’d rather be with you
Oh, I’d rather be with you
'Cause good men die too so I’d rather be with you

Moon Song

[Verse 1]
You asked to walk me home
But I had to carry you
And you pushed me in
And now my feet can't touch the bottom of you
[Pre-Chorus]
You couldn't have, you couldn't have
[Chorus]
Stuck your tongue down the throat of somebody
Who loves you more
So I will wait for the next time you want me
Like a dog with a bird at your door
Mmm
[Verse 2]
We hate "Tears in Heaven"
But it's sad that his baby died
And we fought about John Lennon
Until I cried
[Pre-Chorus]
And then went to bed upset
[Chorus]
But now, I am dreaming and you're singing at my birthday
And I've never seen you smiling so big
It's nautical themed and there's something I'm supposed to say
But can't, for the life of me, remember what it is
[Bridge]
And if I could give you the moon
I would give you the moon
[Chorus]
You are sick and you're married and you might be dying
But you're holding me like water in your hands
When you saw the dead little bird, you started crying
But you know the killer doesn't understand

you go out on your own
and you don't need a reason
putting on your coat
no need to be speeding
you don't have to run
but you can if you want to
and you don't have to go
noone's gonna find you
you're doing so well
you're doing so well
you can call your friends
however loud you want to
noone's gonna judge
noone's gonna hurt you
you're doing so well
you're doing so well
you're giving your all
you're giving your all
it's all in the past
memories can hurt you
but it's gonna pass
you're gonna be alright soon
you're doing so well
you're doing so well

[Intro]
Stacy's dad has got me goin' mad
Stacy's dad has got me goin' mad
Stacy's dad has got me goin' mad
Stacy's dad has got me goin' mad
[Verse 1]
Stacy, can I come over after school? (After school)
We can hang around by the pool (Hang by the pool)
Did your dad get back from his business trip? (Business trip)
Is he there, or is he trying to give me the slip? (Give me the slip)
You know, I'm not the little boy that I used to be
I'm all grown up now, baby, can't you see?
[Chorus]
Stacy's dad has got me going mad
He's all I want and I want him SO BAD!
Stacy, can't you see? You're just not the girl for me
I know it might be bad, but I'm in love with Stacy's dad
[Verse 2]
Stacy, do you remember when I mowed your lawn? (Mowed your lawn)
Your dad came out [;)] with just a towel on (Towel on)
I could tell he liked me from the way he stared (Way she stared)
And the way he said, "You missed a spot over there" (Spot over there)
And I know that you think it's just a fantasy
But since your mom walked out, your dad could use a guy like me!
[Chorus]
Stacy's dad has got me goin' mad
He's all I want and I want him SO BAD!!!!!
Stacy, can't you see? You're just not the girl for me
I know it might be bad, but I'm in love with
Stacy's dad has got me goin' mad
He's all I want and I want him SO BAD!!!!!
Stacy, can't you see? You're just not the girl for me
I know it might be bad, but I'm in love with
Stacy's dad, ah-oh-ah-oh (I'm in love with—)
Stacy's dad, ah-oh-ah-oh (Wait a minute)
Stacy, can't you see? You're just not the girl for me
I know it might be bad but, I'm in love with Stacy's dad

You Are In Love

[Verse 1]
One look, dark room, meant just for you
Time moved too fast, you play it back
Buttons on a coat, lighthearted joke
No proof, not much, but you saw enough
Small talk, he drives, coffee at midnight
The light reflects the chain on your neck
He says, "Look up" and your shoulders brush
No proof, one touch, but you felt enough
[Chorus]
You can hear it in the silence (Silence), silence (Silence), you
You can feel it on the way home (Way home), way home (Way home), you
You can see it with the lights out (Lights out), lights out (Lights out)
You are in love, true love
You are in love
[Verse 2]
Morning, his place, burnt toast, Sunday
You keep his shirt, he keeps his word
And for once, you let go of your fears and your ghosts
One step, not much, but it said enough
You kiss on sidewalks, you fight and you talk
One night, he wakes, strange look on his face
Pauses, then says "You're my best friend"
And you knew what it was, he is in love
[Chorus]
You can hear it in the silence (Silence), silence (Silence), you
You can feel it on the way home (Way home), way home (Way home), you
You can see it with the lights out (Lights out), lights out (Lights out)
You are in love, true love
[Bridge]
And so it goes
You two are dancing in a snow globe, 'round and 'round
And he keeps a picture of you in his office downtown
And you understand now
Why they lost their minds and fought the wars
And why I've spent my whole life trying to put it into words
[Breakdown]
'Cause you can hear it in the silence
You can feel it on the way home
You can see it with the lights out
You are in love, true love
You are in love
[Chorus]
You can hear it in the silence (Silence), silence (Silence), you
You can feel it on the way home (Way home), way home (Way home), you
You can see it with the lights out (Lights out), lights out (Lights out)
You are in love, true love
You are in love (Ah)
You can hear it in the silence (Silence), silence (Silence), you (Ah)
You can feel it on the way home (Way home), way home (Way home), you (Ah)
You can see it with the lights out (Lights out), lights out (Lights out)
You are in love, true love
You are in love

Partner In Crime

[Verse 1]
When I asked you to coffee
Could you tell I don't drink it?
When I got to the café
Could you tell what I was thinking?
My heart's on my sleeve, it's embarrassing
The pulpy thing, beating
[Verse 2]
When you asked my age, I lied
I saw relief dawn on your eyes
It's not your fault, it's mine
Let the record show
I walked in on my own
[Verse 3]
Knee-deep in the city that never sleeps
I lay down in the middle of the street
Lamplight like parallel suns
Crowding out the early morning stars
Concrete holding heat from the daytime
Picking petals to see if you will be mine
[Chorus]
Do you lovе me? Do you love me not?
Do you lovе me? Do you love me not?
Do you love me? Do you love me not?
Do you love me? Do you love me not?

[Verse 4]
You were my partner in crime
It was a welcome waste of time
Eating cherries on the bridge, feet dangling
Throwing the pits and stems into the racing current below
I get vertigo looking down and looking in
[Verse 5]
Drop me off at the curb by my curfew
Around the corner so nobody sees you
You drop a hint that you got a girlfriend
I tried my best not to take it
I wanna run my fingers through you
You say nobody understands you like I do
[Chorus]
But do you love me? Do you love me not?
Do you love me? Do you love me not?
Do you love me? Do you love me not?
Do you love me? Do you love me not?

I Think It's Working Out
03:31
|

|
Im turning twenty in march
Im pretty sure thats 4 years more than I thought
Already whining about
The economy and how much bread costs
When did it change?
One day my problems seemed so small
I guess life finds a way
Or whatever they say
im getting on a plane
with some guy i met this side of may
may be a mistake
but i’ll do it anyway
All the good ones say
If you’ve got a life, you might as well live it
All that’s to say
Think I’m living big enough, anyway
I moved out of home
I made my own food
I got a job alone
I made it out good
I made all my friends
Forgave what I could
But I stood my ground
Cause I know what’s good
Got a huge TV,
Hung a picture up
Spent all my money
Made it all back up
I think it’s working out
think it’s working out
think it’s working out
think it’s working
im driving out of state
with some guy ive been on 2 or 3 dates with
may be a mistake
but ill do it anyway
All the good ones say
If you’ve got a life, you might as well live it
All that’s to say
Think I’m living big enough, anyway
I moved out of home
I made my own food
I got a job alone
I made it out good
I made all my friends
Forgave what I could
But I stood my ground
Cause I know what’s good
Got a huge TV,
Hung a picture up
Spent all my money
Made it all back up
I think it’s working out
think it’s working out
think it’s working out
think it’s working
