I wish I could give a fuck
But I'm just shit out of luck
tonight
I, I wish I wasn't this sad and that I wasn't so mad
Mad at this
Anymore
I, I wish I could sleep
Without blowing through
All my weed
Keeping my feet on the ground
Can't let this bring me down
I can't give up now
And we're doing the same
Shit we do every day
Tryin' to get away
From this state
But this Monotony won't get the best
The best of me
Keeping my feet on the ground
Can't let this bring me down
I can't give up now
And I don't wanna waste another day
Living with this sense of dread and regret
About how things could've been
Or what might've happened if I stuck around
So I packed my car and left
I got out of this hopeless town
Stuck below sea level
Baby, I don't want us to drown

Don't make a sound
Don't waste your energy
You'll wake me up
Inside your fantasy
Don't bring me down
Need positivity
And it's gone when you're around
You say, you say, you say you're good
But you're just lying like you should
'Cause if anyone knew the truth, they'd run away
I guess that's all I have to say
And I think
It's impossible
To be real
With you by my side
'Cause every action that I take
Won't be enough to satiate your
Undying desire to be a fucking asshole
And when I walk away, you won't be saved
And the time I've lost, I can't explain
To the sorry eyes that you use to look down on me
I guess I'm gonna have to leave
And I think
It's impossible
To be real
With you by my side
'Cause every action that I take
Won't be enough to satiate your
Undying desire to be a fucking asshole
I already knew that you were leaving
So keep on walking, you've done your deceiving
And I don't wanna hold on to this hate
So I guess that I'll just have to wait

Baby, how you doin'?
I know it's been a long day
Go ahead and light that smoke
Everything's gonna be okay
Yeah, you're always tired and you're always feeling grey
But I think that you'll be fine just as long as you stay
Put out the joint and then crawl into my bed
Right next to me has always felt much better than inside my head
Missed you so much
Baby, that's what I said
Because without you, I might as well be dead
Just stay the night
I sleep much better when you're home
Just don't dream the same dreams when I'm all alone
How can I say just what you mean to me without sounding weird?
A life without you is the only thing I've ever feared
I wanna wake up to your face every morning
Even if you're still there, just passed out and snoring
Nothing makes those rainy days feel any brighter
Than you rolling over and holding onto me much tighter
Baby, how you doin'?
I know it's been a long day
I'm just gonna light this smoke
'Cause everything's gonna be okay
Yeah, I'm always tired and I'm always feeling grey
But I think that I'll be fine just as long as you stay

Ooh-ooh-ooh
My blue '03 Corolla
Your seats have supported everyone I've ever loved
'One I've ever loved
And hey, hey, hey, my pretty little baby
I love you so I never ever wanna let you go
Wanna let you go
I'm driving in my car
But I won't get very far
If there's no gas in my tank
And no cash in the bank
Ooh-ooh-ooh
My blue '03 Corolla
Your seats have supported everyone I've ever loved
'One I've ever loved
And hey, hey, hey, my pretty little baby
I love you so I never ever wanna let you go
Ever wanna let you go
Yeah, you're breaking apart
But, honey, you've still got heart
Just know that when things fall through
Corolla, I have always loved you
Corolla
Corolla
Corolla, Corolla
I'll always love you

Scars/Pieces of Me

I've got burns and Scars on my hands and arms
From pulling pizzas out the oven
But that won't stop me from loving you
I've got burns and Scars on these hands and arms
From pulling pizzas out the oven
But that won't stop me from loving you
From loving you
From loving you
That won't stop me from loving you
From loving you
From loving you
Well, that won't stop me from loving you
I've got burns and Scars on these hands and arms
From pulling pizzas out the oven
But that won't stop me from loving you
----------
I've got a real thin crust and I can be a little cheesy
They say when it's love, it's supposed to be easy
But with you, it's not
I tried to bite into you, but you were too hot
And I got burned
I guess I'll never learn
And I know they say you are what you eat
But that doesn't mean that you can keep on taking Pieces of Me
Pieces of Me
Said I know they say you are what you eat
But that doesn't mean that you can keep on taking Pieces of Me

In all of the land and all of the sea
There is no other cephalopod wealthy as me
In my castle, I throw many lavish parties
With fifty-foot fountains, flowing with cheese
To raise money for various sea charities
To which I've donated quite generously
In my garden, I lounge in the cool ocean breeze
And light up a doobie whenever I please
Oh, I'm the Rich Octopus
I'm the Rich Octopus
Oh, I'm the Rich Octopus

High

I'm so fucking High
You can see it if you look in my eyes
But I'm not quite as stoned
As I want to be
So light a blunt with me
I never thought that I'd be this lit
I guess I just don't know when to quit
My dealer told me to have a sit
But I think I'll just have another hit
I'm so fucking High
You can see it if you look in my eyes
But I'm not quite as stoned
As I want to be
So roll a joint with me
I'm so lost inside of my head
I can't tell if I'm alive or dead
Not sure if you're serious or joking
Fuck it
Let's just keep on toking
And I only smoke dank
'Cause all that other shit is stank
And I think it'd be legit
If we all just took a hit
I am so High
I am so...
I'm so fucking High
I am so High
I'm...
I'm so fucking High
I'm so fucking High
You can see it if you look in my eyes
But I'm not quite as stoned
As I want to be
So smoke a bowl with me
DANK!

Into Space
04:10
|
|

In the backseat of your car
With the windows down
Saw you one last time
Before you left this town
Told me that you were sorry
That you couldn't stay
Now I'm just trying to understand
'Cause nothing's been the same since you've gone away
I'll smoke myself to sleep
I'll try not to dream of your face
I'll try to forget everything
As our memories drift slowly into space
On the long drive back home
Grip the steering wheel
Turn the radio up loud
I try to sing along but it doesn't feel real
Tell myself I'll make it through
But I can't stop seeing your face in the rearview
I'll smoke myself to sleep
I'll try not to dream of your face
I'll try to forget everything
As our memories drift slowly into space
'Cause you haunt me
In my dreams
I can't forget anything
You're just like a ghost
You're barely there
But somehow you're everywhere

Crashing Down

Hey, you, don't you think it's fucking crazy
How we do this shit so nonchalantly
And when I think of all the times you've let me down
Whoa
It makes me so sick to my stomach
I'm pretty sure this is the end
'Cause you make me feel like my head's going to explode
Whoa
Just leave
'Cause I don't really need you
Get out
'Cause I don't wanna see you
I'm done
Giving you chances that you'll only waste
You don't
Deserve my attention
You don't
Deserve my affection
This is what you get when love falls out of place
No more acting like a saint because you're not
Whoa
You're just the greatest fucking lie I've ever told
Whoa
Just leave
'Cause I don't really need you
Get out
'Cause I don't wanna see you
I'm done
Giving you chances that you'll only waste
You don't
Deserve my attention
You don't
Deserve my affection
This is what you get when love falls out of place
So tell me why
You were the only thing on my mind
When it all came Crashing Down

Friday night, clocking out late
Making my way over to your place
Swisher Sweets and an eighth of dank weed
We broke the bong
I guess it wasn't, wasn't meant to be
But still, we're getting loud in your room
Writing songs about our lives
Even though those memories can cut like knives
But this is where I want to be
Drinking High Lifes at a house party
With the people that I never see
Reminiscing on better days
And I still think that it's so strange we parted ways
But still, we're getting loud in your room
Writing songs about our lives
Even though those memories can cut like knives
But this is where I want to be
And you're right
Everything you told me
About how things change
But I wish that they'd stay the same

Anesthesia
Clouding up my brain
I can't feel
As things rearrange
When I wake up
It won't be the same
I just know that
You'll still be in my veins
You left me black and blue
I'm not over you
No matter how damn far
I wanna be where you are
Take me back
To the way things were
Try to recall, but it's all a blur
Is this amnesia or denial of
All of the times that I screwed up?
Yeah, I'm sorry
I'm so fucking sorry
And yeah, I'm black and blue
Still not over you
No matter how damn far
I wanna be where you are
I'm coming down
I feel the pain set in my bones
Anesthesia
I don't know what I'll do without you
Without you

Heaven Knows

My room's a wreck, but so am I
Empty water bottles stacked up high
I've been fucked up for too damn long
Never learning right from wrong
And I know it won't feel like this forever
These storm clouds will part and bring us both to better weather
Somewhere past all these empty city streets
There's a place for you and me
I put our love in a box
Buried it deep beneath the soil and rocks
So don't dig it up
There's nothing to see
'Cause Heaven Knows
Heaven Knows you ain't coming back for me
We're moving on and finding our own ways
To cope with this and make it through the haze
Somewhere past all these empty city streets
I know that there's a place for you and me
I put our love in a box
Buried it deep beneath the soil and rocks
So don't dig it up
There's nothing to see
'Cause Heaven Knows
Heaven Knows you ain't coming back for me
(I put our love in a box...
...fuck.)
I put our love in a box
Buried it deep beneath the soil and rocks
So don't dig it up
There's nothing to see
'Cause Heaven Knows
Heaven Knows you ain't coming back for me
Heaven Knows you ain't coming back for me

I think it's time that I start giving a fuck
Figure my life out and stop pushing my dumb luck
I wanna know how it feels to be content
And not wonder where the hell all of my time went
'Cause we get lost but we come back
Find out what we missed, pick up the slack
We won't stay down, no, not for long
We're getting up
And we'll finish strong
And I think that this is
All I've ever wanted
Just to find some sense of purpose
And I think what we've built out of nothing is totally extraordinary
So no one told you that there'd be days like this
Where all you wanna do is hide in your room and quit
But each day is just another shot
So get out there and give it all you've got
Cause we get lost but we come back
Find out what we missed, pick up the slack
You're not alone when you've got friends
We'll get through it
'Cause this isn't the end
And I think that this is
All I've ever wanted
Just to find some sense of purpose
And I think what we've built out of nothing is totally extraordinary
Don't give in
Don't give up
Don't give in
Don't give up
Don't give in
Don't
No, don't ever give up on me
'Cause I'll never give up on you
No.
