Static 03:16
Maybe you're really not like they say you are, like I'd never wish It's just static A happy home, a never word His song in my head for the weekend His song in my head for the week Maybe, oh baby Maybe I walked too far, took away the wave we made last year When the feeling goes I'll leave you here A winter's night, just another talk His song in my head for the weekend His song in my head for the week Maybe, oh baby

Olympia 02:57
You're still a kiss on my forehead As you drive my car I'd take the sound back if i could Be okay with your empty mornings Keep my thoughts to myself Only to have them flood Halt my dreaming for an ocean far from you Your blank stare is enough for me to drown in Never wanting for the someday things Surround myself with all your old steals Haunt the grounds of this faulty lake If I were the person I wanna be I wouldn't care so much about what you think Keep my thoughts to myself Only to have them flood Halt my dreaming for an ocean far from you Your blank stare is enough for me to drown in Never wanting for the someday things

Yr Party 03:44
You should know I don't know how to kiss you the way I want to But now I'm home and my ideas have a light on them I know I'm not the only one to show you something you like I'll make my bed and I'll try a little bit I tell you that I'm done Don't invite me to yr party I wish you didn't listen to me I'll only confuse you I'm still gonna talk to you later I could make this whole thing go away but I don't want to This lukewarm drink and a less than excited smile I'll feel blue by tomorrow but I always show up anyway But really I'm the only one who tries Distractions aren't real I wish you didn't listen to me I'll only confuse you I'm gonna talk to you later

Volcanoes 02:54
Always make me drop who I'm seeing Like a fool I get a few with you Just enough to relive the past we had Just enough to forgive my poor decisions Maybe it's all the gin I've had But it seems like this could maybe work We're older now it's all okay And you let me know you've changed Since all the ugly words you said Killed me quick and left me for dead No matter that now, Let's go outside for a while Now I'm drunk and my blinders are on You tell me that he's not worth it He's another boy trying to hurt me Do you know he says the same of you But you're not like that anymore Your new girlfriend thinks you're really nice I can't even find a shirt to wear To the job that'll leave me sad next year You're the one who made me this way Years with you and I'm not the same Getting help might work for a while But I heard you're moving up here soon Maybe I'll find some time to eat There hasn't been much time for that lately Not when my songs depend on the way I look when I play them

Salem 01:45
All the times you wonder where to drive yourself To the top of some make-out view above the houses Parking lots too foggy for everybody else Did you know that I waited for you all night? Nobody really knows why I do it to myself
6.
About Us 04:48
I wonder if you'd be nicer if we were only friends I have enough friends I don't think of you that way I talk to Meredith about the way I feel And it means more to me than anything You could take away from me This sleepy house has to stay awake 'til morning So we can dance in my dining room I have all I need I used to think about him way too much Holding on to the breath I lost But when my friends tell me that they're sad and I might catch it I still try to take it away Find a ride to Salem Work on our record And when my best friend writes his songs about me I've never felt so Okay Alone
