why would somebody do this on purpose?
i wanted to go, but i didn’t.
we talk until we think we might just kill ourselves.
you were screamin’ at the evangelicals.
swore i could feel you through the walls.
somebody better be dying.
now i can’t breathe, and i can’t sleep.
i feel something when i see you now.
anyway, don’t be a stranger.
i hate living by the hospital.
you must’ve been looking for me.
if it meant i would see you when i die.
all the skeletons you hide…
it must be something in the water.
will you have me, or watch me fall?
remember getting the truck fixed?
i know there’s something waiting for us.
i don’t know what i want.
i can’t open my mouth and forget how to talk.
always surprised by what i do for love.
please don’t hold me to it.
show me yours, i’ll show you mine.
i know he needs you, you’re all that he sees.
i scared you in your house.
i want to live at the holiday inn.
i guess it’s too late to change it now.
tell me what you’ll do, please.
one of your eyes is always half-shut.
i’m singing at a funeral tomorrow.
i’ve been talking to his dad, it makes me so sad…
somebody roll the windows down.
i would do anything for you.
i’ll be whatever you want.
i don’t need you to tell me what that means.
i asked him nicely once to pack his things and go.
something happened when you were a kid.
there’s a last time for everything.
i couldn’t take it any longer, and i lost control.
it’s amazing to me how much you can say.
i didn’t know you then and i’ll never understand.
i went with you up to the place you grew up in.
there’s something i’m supposed to say.
i swear i’m not angry, that’s just my face.
you, you must’ve been looking for me.
no, i’m not afraid of hard work.
you got me good; i knew you would.
you know the killer doesn’t understand.
man, i wish that i could say the same.
if i fix you, will you hate me?
i miss you like a little kid.
i could scream to drown you out.
next time i see you, you’ll show me.
he is a fine new addition, so young and so clean.
always have and i always will.
i’m at the movies, i don’t remember what i’m seeing.
i’m tired of trying to get in the house.
wouldn’t know where to start.
it’s a government drone or an alien spaceship.
everyone knows you’re the way to my heart.
i even scared myself by talking.
i’m on the outside looking through.
sorry that it all went down like it did.
last night, i blacked out in my car.
he came up through the water without a sound.
you get a few points for tryin’.
i can count on you to tell me the truth.
i’ve never seen you smiling so big.
he got me good, i knew he would.
i’m always pushing you away from me.
i grew up here, ‘til it all went up in flames.
they dragged me off to jail, set a million dollar bail.
i will always be right here.
there’s no place like my room.
i wanted to see the world.
but i asked him one more time, this time pulled out my shiv.
was hoping you would let it go, and you did.
the drug stores are open all night.
no, it’s not important, they’re just pretty words, my dear.
that’s quite a list, but there’s one thing you missed.
it’s gonna be just like my recurring dream.
i get this feeling whenever i feel good.
i’ll stay out of my own hell.
for generations, they’ll romance us, make us more.
i buried a hatchet, it’s coming up lavender.
i turned around, there was nothing there.
from the window, it’s not a bad show.
not even the burnouts are out here anymore.
i hardly feel anything at all.
so i gotta go, i know, i know, i know.
you were still in the ambulance.
you always say that you’d prefer to drown.
i’m amazed that you’re alright.
when i’m lonely, that’s when i’ll burn it.
if you find me, will you know me?
they were screamin’ right back from what i remember.
i’ve been running around in circles.
i’m sleeping in my bed again, and getting in my head.
they make you live in the past.
i can hardly feel anything.
i woke up in my childhood bed.
a feeling of relief came over my soul.
i want to know what would happen.
you’re gonna drown in your sleep for sure.
he never lies or picks up his phone.
you’re holding me like water in your hands.
after a while you went quiet.
no, i’m not afraid to disappear.
you must’ve been looking for me.
i would give you the moon.
i have this dream where i’m screaming underwater.
they killed a fan down by the stadium.
when i think too much about it i can’t breathe.
i can’t sleep and i miss your face.
they strapped me in the gurney, took me off to the infirmary.
i’ll find a new place to be from.
i hate you for what you did.
he got me in the shins, and he got me in the arms.
i’m gonna chase it, i know, i know, i know.
all of our problems? i’m gonna solve ‘em.
yeah, i guess the end is here.
i won’t be home with you tonight.
underneath her whimpering, i could hear the sirens sound.
fell on hard times a year ago.
sometimes i think i’m a killer.
there is no distraction that can make me disappear.
i dreamt that he drowned.
when he gets older, he might be the one.
she can do anything she wants to.
plus, i’m pretty sure i’d miss you…
either way, we’re not alone.
you don’t have to know that it’s haunted.
you know i hate to be alone.
wouldn’t know when to stop.
i think when you’re gone, it’s forever.
i’ll be glad that i made it out.
either i’m careless or i wanna get caught.
i hope you kiss my rotten head.
hear so many stories of you at the bar…
all the bad dreams that you hide…
he’s half the man and you’re twice as tall.
i gotta go now, i know, i know, i know.
if i breathe you, will it kill me?
man, i hate this part of texas.
you know i’m never gonna let you have it.
you had to go, i know, i know, i know.
tell me what you wanna do to me.
you were in a band when i was born.
i have everything i wanted.
i’m not gonna go down with my hometown in a tornado.
i don’t believe in that stuff anymore.
jesus christ, i’m so blue all the time.
saw him in the kitchen, hanging up the phone.
i feel something when i see you.
there’s nothing i can do.
i would do anything you want me to.
but right now, it feels good not to stand.
i love a good place to hide in plain sight.
i will try to drown you out.
take a dirty picture, babe.
it’s sad that his baby died.
hey, why do you sing with an english accent?
i look at the sky and i feel nothing.
when you touch down, i’ll be waving.
now i’m too tired to go to sleep.
i hate it when she opens her mouth.
it’s just a matter of time before i’m hearing things.
would you fuck this and let us fall?
they still got payphones…
