I’ve been waiting for you again You’re too cool you carry secrets for all of your friends You’re a track star you only know how to win You post weekly metal covers on the violin What do you wrong? Nothing, nothing at all What do you wrong? Nothing at all

people ask me, ‘does it make you happy?’ writing songs for fun is ok, i guess but I’ve always had a thing for the feeling of tightness in my chest everybody says that you did something wrong but you don’t want to talk about moving on now the wild eyed confused child kills a stranger with an alternative point of view shut the door don’t let in the light we can make it happen tonight don’t destroy yourself settle down don’t destroy yourself you’ve got time don’t destroy yourself... ADHD is what keeps me hungry its time to go I’ve got a green light again but then i get the thing where I’m thinking I’m so inside of my head everybody says that you did something wrong but you don’t want to talk about moving on when your girl said, ‘you’re not stupid’. did you listen? Or did you tell her why she was wrong? shut the door don’t let in the light we can make it happen tonight don’t destroy yourself settle down don’t destroy yourself you’ve got time don’t destroy yourself... there it goes another year in a second they said that you’re a legend but in the back of your mind you hear...don’t destroy yourself...

There’s a grammar that i can’t stand A cadence that offends An accent with no country recommending friends It's all my fault Wanna start again Tried to pass on the pass it on It catches like a plague All the cheap seats clap your hands Wave your little flags It's all my fault All my fault Land masses move An inch or two every year Ride along or be left alone I've been living inside my head it’s windowless, i know There’s a rhythm that i can’t dance to Like I’ve ever danced before, it’s all my fault all my fault Land masses move An inch or two every year Ride along or be left wrong Don’t just let go there’s more for you to know Come along Or be left alone Go on and get involved Learn to sing the major chorus Come on and get evolved take a bite from ourobourus all my fault all my fault Land masses move An inch or two every year Ride along or be left wrong Don’t just let go there’s more for you to know Come along Or be left alone

When you’ve danced with everyone And the evening’s nearly done Excuse yourself in a blaze of finger guns Turn around for one more drink Watch conversation shrink Look around It’s exactly what you think Go on round it out Come on scream your name Hold onto yourself That sweet embrace like no one else (Til you read it backwards) Half asleep in tangled sheets Keep reliving every speech You see them each with arms folded tight In the blankness of the night You know no one else is there, right? You’re a satellite With nothing else in sight Go on and settle down Come on and scream your name Hold onto yourself That sweet embrace like no one else Oh, give it a rest A life sentence don’t make any sense Til you read it backwards

take a look around tell me what you see everybody’s watching can you pretend to breathe above our heads the sky is spinning around and everybody here thinks they can hear the sound of the radio the radio the radio when i first came around you were out of my league i tried to over play tried to get my feet maybe you could tell i was falling apart all i needed were the feelings that i thought you caught it all falls on me it falls on me i thought that you were all i needed for a broken heart there’s nothing left for us to say now i understand why its you and i they’re whispering behind your back now I know we still have time i heard your favourite song on the radio echoes of dreams we’d never hold when i met you after work you knew what i’d done you saw through my lies you made me wanna run you couldn’t get through to me, I made it a game i took the opportunity to hide away it all falls on me it falls on me i thought that you were all i needed for a broken heart

So you wanna make a concept album Hell, maybe it'll be a double LP You want a theme, motifs, no space between songs Something no one would be able to stream So you wanna make a concept album Talk about a world that's faded away Blow all our cash, and fast, like a label advance Get a blurb in Spin magazine in 2003 Our A&R guy would have lost his mind I think he works in tech now? We should tell him to check it out!

All of my friends have kids and jobs We take it slow yeah we play the part Of the people we know Who did it years ago We all try to pretend that we know what to do But it's the same as it was in '92 The only difference now Is that we make our own money They were right, right Right when they said it You try, try Try to hold on to a moment Then its gone You can never get it back And then its too late And you know that you blew it So give 'em what they want Give 'em what they want Give 'em everything they want When you see that enough is enough Everything else is amazing So give 'em what they want Give 'em what they want Give 'em everything they want The finish line keeps pulling away Lets keep running anyway I walk through the old neighbourhood I remember the times I never understood That I fucked up And I forgot to say 'sorry' They were right, right Right when they said it You try, try You try to hold on to a moment Then its gone You can never get it back And then its too late And you know that you blew it So give 'em what they want Give 'em what they want Give 'em everything they want When you see that enough is enough Everything else is amazing So give 'em what they want Give 'em what they want Give 'em everything they want The finish line keeps pulling away Lets keep running anyway So take me by the hand now You've got a long, long way to go Give 'em what they want Give 'em what they want Give 'em everything they want When you see that enough is enough Everything else is amazing So give 'em what they want Give 'em what they want Give 'em everything they want The finish line keeps pulling away Lets keep running anyway

Coming soon to a theater near you The black curtain rises and then descends again Can’t get your money back So you wait until the end Telling all your friends Again and again It was a beautiful piece of work Picture of the year, maybe Fool yourself baby You won’t be sorry Fool yourself one more time Stick to the story and you’ll be fine Certain lines have a kind of rhythm Everything’s a beat so long as it repeats And so we must repeat Coming soon to a theater near you

maybe you could play this song forever these days we’ve got time to kill i have a memory holding your broken arms in the back of your laramie you said you never really wanted a truck maybe you could play this song forever?

She’s telling someone please forgive me what i’ll do Don’t take her picture no recordings and no proof Kind of likes it when there’s no one there Can’t contrast and she can’t compare Nothing left to do but sing in bed I’m overworked And underslept Waving in the distance, yeah Waving in the distance, yeah Call me up I’m never there i’m just waving in the distance, yeah Try to call me up Can’t even wake up I’m waving from a distance yeah These days are killer all she needs is another one A sip of silver, touch of danger on the tongue With a whisper to the howling wind I don’t really live here i only dropped in i’ll be on my way again real soon I’m underworked I’ve overslept waving in the distance, yeah These days are killer come and find me I’m not there I’m not there

you say you’re suffocating you can’t keep up but over time you find your rhythm time is a thief you say you read you’re overwhelmed by mysticism so hold on to what you can see so hold on to what you can see i don’t care what you think you believe you’re gonna wreck it for the rest of us if you don’t leave oh, i’m not reading minds I’m not wondering why I’m going on facts that can’t be denied And you still can’t breathe you sit down your sisters well but you can’t believe she let them in she was burning up head on fire she gave up on her religion she held on to what she could see she held on to what she could see i don’t care what you think you believe you’re gonna wreck it for the rest of us if you don’t leave oh, i’m not reading minds I’m not wondering why I’m going on facts that can’t be denied And you still can’t breathe go ahead and hide behind your lies they don’t matter to me you still can’t breathe

Easy to fall in love with Worshipped by the public Hard to feel he's not your final stage Soon he'll come for you Kill the frontman before he do Ooh, he'll sing for you Pull the sun all around him Make everything about him If you allow him to
