i tried at the beginning to make it blue when matt is singing, and red when jenn is singing, when they are overlapped, but it got too confusing, so i stopped.
1. Heather Rhodes
There will be no tragedies
lullabies they all sound like sirens now
just like heather rhodes when she was 17 years old
put another cigarette out in the square of my back
memories might last for years
and birthday cakes they always taste like crap
this isnt an insult
to your intelligence
we both already know how you feel about that
this isnt an invite
this isnt anything except for the fact that your here and im gone
saw someone today who looked exactly like you
its funny how the years go by
saw someone today who looked exactly like you
its funny how the years go by
2. Drunk with the Only Saints I Know
Drunk with the only saints i know
everyone was wearing their halos
this is how we look when we die
decorations on the tables
x-marks over our eyes
cleanse the faces of
all the ones you love
think about how your friends are
all the people who you'll ever do wrong
just because they'll love you anyways
doesnt mean they forget everything you say
im not so sure about anything
i never stop and think about anything at all
im not so sure about anyone
i never stop and think about anyone at all
this is how we all look when we die
im pretty sure we're crazy, saying that we're all just assholes
3. Lazy Eyelids
Trading your eyelids for a nightcap
no one has to know
your light is all out
saving all your yawns in a jar
no one has to know
sprinkled all of your cologne
all these things fly around my head you're feeling the things you say
trading all your friends
for a pile of gold
only fools search for gold
saving all your time to yourself
somewhere all alone
you arrived way too late
so what was it
there you go
so what was it
there you go
just like always
you always go away
all of these things fly around my head
feeling the things you said
you're trading your eyelids for a nightcap
what is this
and when was this
its a mystery
you tried
you always go away
try waiting in your car
your running way too fast
now that didn't hurt that bad
i didnt understand
you never had to ask
i would've told you right now
i guess that i waited way too long
i still want you
this is all such a big mistake
im so lost inside
i cant move on
i swear that i never asked for this
4. To Be There Now
Sometimes you get what you wish
i dont have to remember here
you're really close this time
i think its better to keep in your head
all the things you tried to have
maybe we already had the good times
maybe we left them behind
so forget the way it made you feel
dont forget it made you want to die
and all these scars
just wont ever seem to go away
do you ever think about the way
all these things they used to be
i think i lost it all out there
i think you know exactly what i mean
so i'll never go back
do you wish they remember still
it can happen again
maybe you should save in your head
all the things you tried to hide
did you ever think about her
did she ever make you cry
and all these scars
just wont ever seem to go away
did you ever think about
the way these things they all just used to be
i think you lost it all out there
i think you know exactly what i mean
so just to be there now
one more time with you
i could safely say
its finally the end of all this
so just to be there now
one more time with you
we could safely say
its finally the end of all this
so just to be there now
one more time with you
5. One Night Stand
If i could just see straight
i'd probably head straight for the door
please dont ask me what my thoughts are
cos i dont care about yours
must be a hole in my hat
where my thoughts are slipping out my head
and it doesnt really matter now
god damn it, it will tomorrow
suddenly a wonderful evening
turns into a sour sunrise
suddenly all the best feelings
turned to my unpleasant surprise
so i guess that i'm sorry
for everything i didnt mean to say
and i gues that im sorry
for everything that i had to say
so....small talk and pills...
since we're still doing quite well
this really isnt like me at all
suddenly a wonderful evening
turned into a sour sunrise
suddenly all the best feelings
turned to my unpleasant surprise
must be a hole in my hat
cos theres a hole in my head
and it opens up
this isnt me at all
must be...i guess it felt like its right
...if i cant stand up i'll have a one night stand
if i couldnt stand up i'd have a one night stand
6. Sitting in the Smoking Lounge of an Airport with a Broken Heart
We might as well talk about things on the news
maybe the weather cos its always true
we've got nothing left we can do
we might as well talk about anything
doesnt really matter, im sure you'll agree
we dont stand on common ground
we might as well talk, talk about you
and all the brilliant things that you do
is that what you really want me to do
i try so hard to talk really soft
....always talk way too loud
....and i dont understand
when i saw that man walking on by
...just to see you...
we sat and we watched you sing all your songs
secretly hoping that we'd sing along
but theres nothing left we can learn
and in the event you left me sitting
in the smoking lounge of an airport....
i'll write you a letter and send it away
you left me sitting in the smoking lounge
of an airport...
why do i turn into such a dumb wreck
every time that you...
i'll break your...
whiskey and coffee...
just fine talking about the way that
i'll break your....
7. Blankets Stare
So here is a note, its been a long month
and now i have to, have to go to sleep now
its 2 a.m. and i feel like
i might have done something wrong
finally made an end to all the backwards notes
now we all are standing in line
so change your clothes again
how can i convince you
to change your mind again
another one of those times
when i blanket stare
so this is a note, its been a long month
and now i have to, have to go to sleep now
its 2 a.m. and i feel like
i might have done something wrong
finally made an end to all the backwards notes
i'll try and catch a cold, close the window
so change your clothes again
how can i convince you
to change your mind again
another one of those times
when i blanket stare
tell me now
tell it all
tell me when your ready
dont tell me when i'm wrong
wait til we all ...
tell apart the lies and all the blanket stares
and tell it to the wives and we'll all...and thats the way it goes
8. Fluorescent Lights
I guess i'll make it clear now
we all hate ourselves
how many more now?
Drive myself insane before i've driven everyone away
if i could walk for a moment of this (bar?) til i hit the floor
if i could walk from one end of this town
to the other
goes away
the only reason people try to talk to each other
is cos they gotta say something
that is smarter than the other one said
everyone's fucking crazy
people never listen to what you have to say
cos their so damn scared
that you'll be smarter than them some day
everyone's fucking crazy
but i hate these flourescent lights
if i could walk for a moment every spore and cell
i'd hit the floor
if i could walk from one end of this town
to the other
i wouldn't go anywhere at all
i could talk to you and you could talk to me
i would say anything at all
i could talk to you and you could look at me
i would say anything at all
the only reason people try to talk to each other
is cos they gotta say something
that is smarter than the other one said
everyone's fucking crazy
people never listen to what you have to say
cos their so damn scared
that you'll be smarter than them some day
everyone's fucking crazy
but i just hate these flourescent lights
9. A Bathtile Green
Theres been times not to tell
and theres been lies told too many times
and if the strap from your shirt
fell over your shoulder
pull it back up
and i'll look the other way
now just in case the lights go dim
i've heard everything that you've said
and now i'm wrong
now i apologize
we told a couple of jokes
made us both laugh
now they don't even seem funny anymore
it's starting to feel a lot like christmas
i watched your hair make a mess of itself
a bathtile green, your fingernails
a comment that was made but not withdrawn
so now go right ahead
make yourself a note
and leave it out to see
we told a couple of jokes
made us both laugh
now they don't even seem funny anymore
we told a couple of jokes
10. Some Days are Better than Others
Tonight starts to fade
and i'm starting to think things arent so great
life would feel alright if i could just remember what i did last night
why drag the hours from the clock on the wall
didnt count at all
it always breaks my heart
seen everyone
its not right at all
its just the worst they've done
we took a plane and waited all night
because you felt like finding someone
she might wait by the phone
just in case he called and he didnt get through
its the only thing that makes any sense right now
some days are better than others
some people are too
some feel a lot better than others
just look at you
catch the plane as quick as you can
i wish i could see the look on your face when you...
much much more should...
take a photograph
send it to yourself
so when you...
11. Alphabet on the Manhole
Its cos your out of sight
shit, this makes no sense
she wants to tell me real bad
she drove her home
though you'll never know
you'll never know
she wants an explanation
she wants to tell you that
didnt know what had made me run for
dont think there is one
she wants an explanation
she wants to know what went wrong
didnt know what had made me run for
really dont think there is one
she wants an explanation
didnt know what had made me run for
she wants an explanation
wonder if i'll try to remember
i hope this makes you cry
i hope this makes you sad
this whiskey's just as dry as i am
she'd look more beautiful if she'd cried
i just want to lie down
how would i know she would break down
if i get a map and follow down
and alphabet written on the manhole
smiling there it means i finally
hold you head high
slip into the mood of our lie
i finally hold your head high
so we'll just give up
and we'll keep on going over
learn to keep your mouth shut
regret if we find the enemy hands
never fights with me
but all these ghosts never leave me alone
give everyone a call
tell them we hope to see them soon
give everyone who's dead a call
tell them you think you'll be home soon
try not to sleep and scare these self affirming notions
try not to think and scare these self affirming thoughts
