Maybe I can sail and stay afloat Maybe I can dive, but I won't 'Cause I can't face the tide alone Sitting on the edge of windows Where we used to talk and you'd smoke But now I'm up here on my own Boxes full of years in empty rooms The hardest thing is lettin' go of you So you can Keep my T-shirts For what it's worth They look better on you anyway These old photos I'll keep them close In case you wanna see them again Someday I know we haven't spoken in weeks It's like we only meet in our sleep And I can't wait to close my eyes I found the missing earring you wore The night you threw me out and slammed the door But you won't let me back this time And now it haunts me in these empty rooms The hardest thing is letting go of you So you can Keep my T-shirts For what it's worth They look better on you anyway These old photos I'll keep them close In case you wanna see them again Someday Keep my T-shirts For what it's worth They look better on you anyway These old photos I'll keep them close In case you wanna see them again Someday

My eyes are t-shirts, they're so easy to read I wear 'em for you but they're all about me They always say "I want you to take me home" They always say "I want you to leave me alone" My tongue's a bible in the drawer of a desk Leave it alone please, give it a rest You walk in the room like a blade in a cutter Some things, baby, are made for each other When I see you something sad goes missing I stop crying, lay down and listen I hear your voice and my heart falls together Please come back, baby, make me feel better My mind's a flashlight flickering out The wires are fussy, the batteries are out My breath is an ocean that suddenly stops When you walk in the room, the temperature drops When I see you something sad goes missing I stop crying, lay down and listen I hear your voice and my heart falls together Please come back, baby, make me feel better Please come back, baby, make me feel better Please come back, baby, make me feel better

Could it be a stranger night? The basements filled with kids. I don't know. Not beautiful like your songs, But all awkward and alone and don't belong. I saw a vacant seat. I sat down next to you. I thought of all the boys that wanted to. I laughed out loud. Do you hate this band too? I smiled a nervous smile, But I warmed up and acted cool standing by the stove. And your eyes made it strange and I felt out of place. Wondering if you... if you could take her place. You can't be sly. You can't forget her. You don't ask why. You can't forget her. Give up. What hope do you have to save her? Give up. What hope do you have to save her?

Living at home Living under one roof Walls are raging They're all crazy Mind is racing Say you left it far behind And you'll always feel your 17 In a dream Isn't it a sad thing that we all can't win? You got your sad songs or the radio It's for sure that you are all done Just a quiet evening Just a quiet evening When you get home the street is quiet in the morning And the sight of her is all you need to get so down I can't figure how a letter so upset her just climb down the stairs Just disappear I can promise something fleeting Just a quiet evening that will pass And although we ain't got nothing to show By sitting at home It'd mean a lot to me I can promise something fleeting Just a quiet evening that will pass Just a quiet evening Just a quiet evening.

I know you're just confused. And I know I ain't the best. But why put my heart to the test? Can you turn the light on now? I'm gonna grab my coat. I'm not sticking around to watch you gloat... this time. Cause it gets only close enough So you'll know you'll never have her heart. Just sometimes words and long waits inbetween, When she tries hard to be mean. You'll never have her heart. But you'll probably hate her now. You know she's just a name. But with smoke in her hair, I could still smell how sweet she would be to kiss. And we talked about nothing until she had to go where second chances And small talk could have kept me up all night. Cause it gets only close enough So you'll know you'll never have her heart. Just sometimes words and long waits inbetween, When she tries hard to be mean. You'll never have her heart... this time.

I'm so tired, but i can't sleep a wink And i'm in trouble deep Yeah i'm so tired Not enough cash to keep me in vices I can't think about it now She's getting too close and i don't even like it I can't think about it now Always behind on the latest devices I can't think about it now Panic in the office Record label crisis I can't think about it now So many words i like like to say to convince you i'll stay So many words i'd like to say to convince you that i'm so tired So many words that i'd love to get by this But everyone's watching me I'm out of disguises And nobody know if the kids gonna like it So c'mon and tell me Don't think about all the things that you want And the things that you need Its only a matter of what you don't see There's not enough cash And there ain't enough vices Couldn't think about it even if i tried to

1, 2, 3, 4. It was too loud to hear what you were thinking. And somehow I knew I would be sleeping alone tonight, But I figured that's alright. Could you still walk home with me? I don't wanna be wondering. You couldn't keep me here. It's you or two months on the road. Just two months waiting by the phone. She grew wings and I grew wheels. And now the dust covers my heels. You couldn't keep me here. It's you or two months on the road. Just two months waiting by the phone. She grew wings and I grew wheels. And now the dust covers my heels. I sent your letter next day air. No-dozed a lot and sat and stared. I couldn't make it fifty pages in that book. I'll pull into town when the saddest sun sets down. And I'll see you at the show. I hope you'll go. You'll be there just waiting for me. Just waiting for me. I'll pull into town when the saddest sun sets down. And I'll see you at the show.

Across the stations it's a fact there ain't no place left to stop Two far away for me to hold cupboards empty t.v.s sold Come along come down and see come down your stairs I'm waiting Almost time for us to go so won't you open up your door I hope your in your car right now turning this shit up so loud I hope your in the mood to tune into my favorite station Across the nation it's a fact you ain't never coming back Car is running out of gas push it up the overpass You stayed inside to long so come along just come on you stayed away Too long so I wrote for you this song I hope your in your car right now turning this shit up so loud I hope your in the mood to tune into my favorite station Sweetie pie come along come along come down your stairs Don't make me wait to long come along 'cause summers here Sweetie pie come along come along come down your stairs Don't make me wait to long come along 'cause summers here
