Cool Girl
It always seems to work out like this
We have so much in common, but that’s it
I want more, you couldn’t care less
All you care about is that girl in the Hawiian dress
I’m always the cool girl — “she’s so rad”
I guess I like it, but it’s still sad
When I want to be the hot one
And I’m so fucking not one
You always come to me with girl crises
Hey, here’s a solution: just like me
“You’re so good to talk to, god I love you”
That meant so much more to me than it did to you
Trapped in friendship like it’s a cage
Trapped in friendship wanting to escape
You always want the pretty ones, you always want the preps
When will you realize they have no depth?
You’re the one for me and I know it’s clear
I feel so godamn happy when you’re near
I wish I could feel this way for eternity
But I’m just a cool girl, that’s all you see
The Ever Passing Moment
Every strum of the guitar
Every word that is sung
Every beat of the drum
Reminds me of the feelings
I had when you wanted me
Or the smells of the summer
Why wasn’t I happier?
So I put in this CD
And can go back in time
To the time I loved
Now your arm’s intertwined with hers
But, for a half hour, as the music plays
You’re mine again
I remember this verse causing my tears
And this one causing my happiness
I’m wrapped up in feelings of the past
Fogetting that last night you ignored me
I feel as if you said those words just now
Not months ago
How can one song bring back so much?
But now the music ends
And I slowly fade back to what’s real...
Getting Caught
I knew it was wrong, maybe that’s why I did it
Actually, it’s because of him, I admit it
How superficial and selfish could I fucking be?
I let her house get trashed so casually
By the look of things, I knew I was screwed
And my “friends” didn’t care, they were so rude
I told them to shut up so the neighbors wouldn’t here
But, whats the point? They already drank all the beer
They all left so fast, no one said goodbye
While I’m sitting there, about to cry
I actually thought I could get away with it
By lying to my friend, by being a bitch
The moment I realized there was nothing I could do
I was caught, I was hurt, and my parents knew
It was then, when everything positive dissapeared
Everything was happening, everything I feared
My dad was screaming about my stupidity
I swear, every word out of his mouth was a profanity
My mom was crying, saying “Where did we go wrong?”
The truth is Mom, I just wasn’t strong
I should’ve said no, I had the key
But I didn’t because I’m too fucking nieve
I did learn my lesson, whether they believe it or not
Oh I’ll have more parties, I just won’t get caught
For A Day
I know it’s pointless to be jealous, but I am
I wish I had what you have with him
To be in your shoes would be rad
When I see you flirt with him, it’s so sad
Chorus
He smiles at you differently than me
He says you’re name differently than mine
It’s obvious that he wants you
Why can’t I just be you for a day?
It’s a cycle, I don’t like it at all
I like him, then he likes her, that’s all
My heart’s been broken so much, and then
Just when I’m sorta fine, it happens again
Chorus
Frozen Tears
walking in the cold
frozen tears coming down my face
just lectured for not helping
how would you know if you’re never around
trying to unpuff my eyes
trying to to forget it and move on
it’d be easier if my mom could walk
it’s be easier if my dad had a heart
is this what i’m going to remember when i get old?
crying in the sub-zero temperatures?
or my dad yelling, or my mom falling?
or letting guys walk all over me?
or my friends not being there when i need them?
or maybe i won’t get old at all
“I Thought We Lost Her”
That’s all it took
A couple shots under the slide
And then my friend could’ve died
It happened so fast
One second we were laughing and running around
Then without a heartbeat, she was passed out on the ground
We just wanted to have fun
Mixing alcohol with punk rock, sounded good to me
But it ended up in a hospital with an I.V.
Maybe it’s a sign
We did it for fun, we never thought of death
“I thought we lost her,” that’s what her parents said
Thank God she was okay
Hearing her voice at 3am
Made me think I should never drink again
It taught me a lot
It showed me that life was more than vodka and shows
Becuause at any moment, any of us could go
New Year
looking into the camera lens
advertising my family’s happiness
with an artificial smile
when i’ve just been chrushed
it’s hard to pretend
if someone looks closer
they’ll see my glassy eyes and damp sleeves
i want to drown in my depression
instead i’m being ‘rescued’ by my dad’s stupidity
when i have nothing happy to think about
i can’t mask my sadness
a realistic picture
would be me throwing the camera
and shoving the tripod up my dad’s ass
but no one wants reality these days
Off The Bus
in case of an accident, everyone clear off
let’s practice getting off the bus
what we take and what we leave:
we take ourselves, our clothes, our makeup
we leave our souls, our thoughts
we take our lacrosse sticks and pom-poms
we leave our portfolios and photographs
we take the expensive, the material
we leave the priceless, the irreplaceable
is it this way because the rules favor the mindless
or because the school bus favors insightfulness
bangable lyrics yeah these are just some dudes that i'm a fan of, eh and stuff.
Blindfolded - Saves the Day
So now I've made the decision to walk behind you in the dark for the rest of my life and I'll never show my face again because it's too scarred and bloody to be enough and I don't have the right stuff - all I have are the empty boxes to carry away your heart and I think that tonight I will sneak into your house and I'll sing songs and wake you up and I'll take you blindfolded dancing onto bridges and you'll say you don't want want to be with me 'cause no one ever does and no one ever thinks of me that way but I will even drive you home if you never let me forget about you and if you promise me that I'm good enough for someone 'cause I've got to be good enough for you and someday soon I'll get it right and then you'll see just how good I can be so don't ask me about forever because right now I'm feeling lost but there's got to be a place for me because if there isn't where will I go? will there be some place for me and will you be there waiting for me? if and when we get there please catch me before I crawl all the way home but I won't stop until you do.
Passing Time - A New Found Glory
what a waste of a day.
such a waste of time.
i'd never admit to say
that the fault is mine.
i'm never too far away.
i'm never too close behind.
these songs are my way
to keep you in my mind.
too close is too far away from you.
you are the one and only sign.
why did it take so long, so long for me to come to?
all i needed was time.
too stubborn, too ignorant, too crazy about you.
i didn't know love was blind.
to say this world was made for us.
i never knew, i never tried.
how can we make it through today
without thinking about tomorrow?
one heart is enough to save.
sit back and watch it all go.
Going to Pasalacqua - Green Day
Here we go again, infatuation
Touches me just when I
Thought that it would end
Oh but then again it seems
Much more than that but
I'm not sure exactly what you're thinking
Well, I toss and turn all night
Thinking of your ways of affection
But to find that it's not different at all
I throw away my past mistakes
And contemplate my future
That's when I say...What the hey!
Would I last forever?
You and I together, hand and hand
We run away (far away)
I'm in for nasty weather
But I'll take whatever you can give that comes my way (far away)
Night on Earth - Bouncing Souls
Passed some time on the stoop on the block were we used to sit
I thought about it all too much I thought so hard i couldn't see
Pete rode by on his Hutch Passed some time on the stoop on the
block were we used to sit i looked down and tied my shoes
I thought about it all too much i looked up and then i knew
I guess these things were meant to be and there's no use fighting
what's in me Night on earth Passed some time walking around
looking for something to be when i stopped to look around
all the music was different to me All these places we used
to go when i loved you i didn't see I'll miss you but now
i'll know better next time because i found me
Sorry About That - Alkaline Trio
It hasn't been that long
Since we drank to the sunset.. until it was gone
and down with it went our pain and fear
as we slowly broke contact more and more with every beer
and we passed out in each other's arms
both admitting we'd never felt better
Never felt so warm
But awoke in each other's eyes
Without wearing a stitch of clothing
we were both deeply in disguise
and maybe I just set aside the fact that you were broken hearted
In my own special selfish way
and if I hadn't set aside the fact that you were broken hearted
Hell knows where your heart would be today
Maybe with me
It seems like it's been so long since we kissed through the darkness until it was dawn
Up with it came our pain and fear
that we'd already lost each other
We both knew that the end was near
maybe I just set aside the fact that you were broken hearted
In my own special selfish way
and if I hadn't set aside the fact that you were broken hearted
Hell knows where your heart would be today
Maybe with me
Maybe with me
Maybe with me maybe with me maybe with me maybe with me
Both Hands - Ani Difranco
i am walking
out in the rain
and i am listening to the low moan
of the dial tone again
and i am getting
nowhere with you
and i can't let it go
and i can't get through...
the old woman behind the pink curtains
and the closed door
on the first floor
she's listening through the air shaft
to see how long our swan song can last
and both hands
now use both hands
oh, no don't close your eyes
i am writing
graffitti on your body
i am drawing the story of
how hard we tried
i am watching your chest rise and fall
like the tides of my life,
and the rest of it all
and your bones have been my bedframe
and your flesh has been my pillow
i am waiting for sleep
to offer up the deep
with both hands
in eachother's shadows we grew less and less tall
and eventually our theories couldn't explain it all
and i'm recording our history now on the bedroom wall
and eventually the landlord will come
and paint over it all
and i am walking
out in the rain
and i am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again
and i am getting nowhere with you
and i can't let it go
and i can't get though
so now use both hands
please use both hands
oh, no don't close your eyes
i am writing graffitti on your body
i am drawing the story of how hard we tried
hard we tried
how hard we tried
Too Close To See - Strung Out
A cup of two day old coffee feeling like yourself again You're still on your own You've spent another night In this dingy room with the same four walls lookin' in the mirrors gettin' easier these days that old friend anger is losing its hold on you The game is survival in this crazy world and it's good to see you're still standing strong not too long ago you were tearing at a world that would never let you in strung out, outcast turned away you kept your face to the ground and fought the world with your silence and so the seasons change and the people change and the good times come and the good times go found yourself in a winless race fighting for a cause you never believed its easy to regret not so easy to forget all the stupid things that used to hold you down you gotta brake that chain and move on cuz I know I've seen it in your eyes before to surrender now to throw it all away is to sacrifice but you can't repay in a world that don't owe you shit you gotta think for yourself and fight every bit of that piece of mind that keeps you going on gets you outta bed and out that door step back take a look around and soon you'll find there's something more that'll come your way with a little patience it will all work out for you in the end this is my song to a friend that never needed anyone until now some times you get too close to see a different side of what life could be and if you stare too long it all becomes a blur and its easy to forget just who we are don't stare to hard, just take a look around...
