always wanted to learn to skateboard
you look so fine out there
your head is down
you're laughing, you're smiling, you're bleeding
but you don't really care
but you know
the way home in the dark
we hung out almost everyday
right up until summer break
and you came to visit in the fall
we were best friends ever since then
but you lost it in founder's hall
so call me
i've missed you since i left
i took a long walk off a long pier
and you appeared
i took a long walk off a long pier
and you appeared in the water out there
jackets on, cul-de-sac talk
you were in love when greg pulled up
but you don't wanna talk about her
she never knew your name
maybe there's still no one to blame
you took a long walk in the streets of annapolis
just to see her face
you took a long walk off a long pier
and she appeared in the water out there
but you never knew her name
she had a sweet smile in a sweet place
hit your sweet spot with her sweet face
and you fell in love with the checkout girl
at the ice cream store at the top of the world
you were losing yourself
to reckless affection
and i can't think of a better way to die

I Don't Belong Here

you are my everything
my black spaceship crashing into the sun
i know i sound pretty pathetic
but some of us don't have college to look forward to
i don't belong here with all these people and their friends
i don't belong here, i am listening to the wrens
someday i'll find myself back at home
yeah i'm a loser but i'm calling you
you say to me through the phone
"didn't you go to school?"
I said "i did but i didn't like it as much as i like you
aren't you impressed?
aren't i impressive?"
let's get bold, let's get nervous
let's get happy, let's get curtis
let's make our way down to the quarry
and dance until one of us can't see
let's pretend that those hostages in that video
are all laughing at me
let's pretend that your parents aren't separated
they're just playing strangers at the hotel bar
and this time it goes too far
i used to think about my words before they left my mouth
my dad said when i was young that i was an arrogant son of a gun
and charles e bukowski would be proud
sometimes i want you to kiss as much as i do
but i don't expect you to return
i want you in my life

i come home at night
and you are awake
you ask me the time
you say i am late
but i can't end my life for you
the room it is blue
the radio is glaring
i turn on a light
and see what you are wearing
you have been waiting for me all night
it's you and me falling asleep on the couch
something i can't do without
you are an angel baby
your white christmas lights and your arms around me
you believe in some sort of light but i can't find my way in the dark
you believe in what is right but i can't find my way to the car
it's you and me waking up on christmas eve
snow is falling slowly
you say "good morning baby"
like we were married
but we're not
but we'll never be

If You Knew Me

when we first met i knelt at your feet
i called you my god i need you to breathe
three years have gone and you're still at home
you're hopeful for better things you're hopeful alone
so don't call me again
we're hot on the road to lake michigan
we're gonna walk out on the lake
if you knew me this wouldn't surprise you in the least
grandma had painted a painting a day
till all she had were pictures and nothing to say
she lives alone except for st paul
and holy ghost haunting the paintings on her wall

Not a Ghost

got this thing in my brain
i don't know where i'm going
i hate my job i work as little as possible
my apathy is showing
i'll run clean outta cash before the semester ends
but i got you i got your love
and we keep moving back the bookends
cause we need room for more
my mom's not a ghost
i'm not heart broken like you
drive out west towards the coast
stand strong every pistol duel at high noon
me and all my friends struck gold on the local scene
with shadynasty's mako
and dirty talk's every scream
maybe it's not so bad with all these friends
