Ive got to preface this with this is gonna be cheesy as hell But you are the moon eclipsing the sun I know youd think Im lame as hell Youd stare me down and call me a poser And I know some would say im looking at the wrong person But like a burning building I cant look away Eyes that pull me in a smile thats hard to capture But thats all I have to say so I guess Ill call you later I know I said I was gonna go but I just dont have the heart to leave See everytime I go itll be weeks in between So can I just lay on your floor and hear about your day? I dont want to bother you but I dont think I can get away

Hope for us 01:08
Somehow youve occupied the forefront of my mind Ive never had anything like that before The other day I saw you at the park I hadnt seen you in years I couldnt believe my eyes And maybe I can try and not be so negative Imploy all my tactics to try and stay cognitive I guess what Im trying to say is I dont wanna be a bummer and have hope for us

I'll do anything to anyone to get these feelings felt and done They say only write about what you know well I only write about me But can I borrow 20 bucks because what I have isnt enough Theres a tour coming up and I need to get fucked Forget about who I am I used to think these 3 chords were the only things I'd need but now Im treading these boards all I ever want is sleep But when I'm home its hard to lay down so I sit around make excuses everyday to keep my feet off the ground But you are generous you are kind and I fuck up time after time but you still steal food for me We cuddle up and watch tv and then you take me up to bed and when I wake with a sore head Its 7 in the morning I walk down the stairs and start again Forget about who I am And if all it took to write a song was memories of times gone wrong Id put put an album a day still have stuff for splits and comps But as it stands I am okay despite the demoralizing depression of everyday that haunts everything I say Cuz Ive got you and not a job and you hate that I'm a slob Lets pack our bags and settle off far away from where were from Forget about who I am and concentrate on you

Your political ideas leave something to be desired And when I look at you, you look so goddamn tired Your hair is always such a fucking mess And when you smoke you say its for your wellness but youre just bored You keep saying “Im not that cool” but Ill still put you on a pedastal You hate all the bands I like but when we kiss it feels alright I wish I didnt suck at being alone So like my baggage I could leave you at home I know Im not that great With my stupid hair and baby face, but how bout you come over and Ill tell you youre great We both dont know what were doing Well except each other when were screwing We both swear were for each other so how bout next week you meet my Mother Just wear something nice
