Vulnerability
you are lying through your teeth
and i don't think you really get me
and i don't want to have to guess
just say i look pretty in this dress
or i'm prettier than something that's as pretty as can be
is it my vulnerability that keeps you from wanting to marry me?
baby it's like you said, it's all in my head
don't break my heart again
it's okay if you wanna go out
just get home safe and we'll figure the rest out
there's hard times in the factory
by the time you get home i'll be asleep
my girl is as pretty as can be
is it my vulnerability that keeps you from wanting to marry me?
baby it's like you said, it's all in my head
don't break my heart again
not a single reason to stay here i think i'll disappear
you gave a new meaning to disappointment dear
is it my vulnerability that keeps you from wanting to marry me?
baby it's like you said, it's all in my head
don't break my heart again
Rollerskating Song
it's a sad, sad story from the get go
he met her at a rollerskating disco
and the roof was off the whole damn building
and the stars were out and they made a good ceiling
they skated all night long
he took, took, took her hand in laughter
she's awkward this could be disaster
and he drained her of every ounce of love
and he gave her up when he had enough
they skated all night long
it's a shame, it's a shame she's so ashamed
every single boy is just the same as the last one
they skated all night long
Loneliness Anonymous
maybe a new hair-do
maybe another town
maybe just travel
so i'd never be found
maybe a bandage cuz i cut my arm
maybe i was damaged from the day i was born
tell me why you made me cry all night long
why couldn't i stay the night in your arms
now i just want to forget you
and i just want to pretend you never broke my heart
maybe go dancing
a one night stand
maybe a woman
maybe a man
loneliness has got my dress and it's coming off
all my tears kept me here but it's your loss
now i just want to forget you
and i wish i never met you
you say to me
what i am to you
just a ghost in your bedroom
24
by the time that i turned 18
i had already seen so many things
like fights and drugs and more drinking than you could dream
when i survived 21, i got myself a loaded gun
and told everyone i’d shoot it just for fun
oh god, 22, i cried when we all had to bury you
and i never was the same again
so if you’re gonna go, go
and if you’re gonna run, run
go on and dance to the beat of your own fucking drum
this is not about love anymore
i don’t even know you anymore
this must be the answer to everything
it’s hard words to take when you learn all of your mistakes
and tell your boyfriend that you’re sorry
and you’ll do better next time
all in the name of fun and games
everyone loses and everyone hates
i believe that you will have your day
so if you’re gonna go, go
and if you’re gonna run, run
go on and build your own mighty kingdom
this is not about love anymore
i don’t even know you anymore
this must be the answer to everything
i gave up the pills and
i gave up the thrill of being in love
i gave up the knife and
i gave you my life
and i never was the same again
Bad Habits and You're Full Of Shit
i got a lot of things to say to you
but you're always unavailable aren't you
do you think i'm gonna stand for this, baby i don't
i got a big mouth boy and everybody here knows
with my plane flying up near the sun
i'll spell it out for everyone
with a taste of your own medicine
i'm in love with everyone
and it's a bad habit
and everybody knows you're full of shit
yeah everybody knows you're full of it
it's a shame you got a bad habit
and everybody knows you're full of shit
yeah everybody knows you're full of it
i got a lot of things that i wanna do
believe me not a single one of them is you
i'm outta sight and i'm outta mind
man you never did miss me
well that's my boyfriend coming over here to kiss me
now that i will not catch you
i see two sides to every face
and i may not ever be happy
but you're the selfish kid and i've been replaced
and it's a bad habit
and everybody knows you're full of shit
yeah everybody knows you're full of it
it's a shame you got a bad habit
and everybody knows you're full of shit
yeah everybody knows you're full of it
i'm running outta gas
you better take a picture and make it last
i think this plane is gonna crash in your room
and it's a bad habit
and everybody knows you're full of shit
yeah everybody knows you're full of it
it's a shame you got a bad habit
and everybody knows you're full of shit
yeah everybody knows you're full of it
Wide Awake in Silence
how much does it cost
it must be a lot
how much does it take
to get me back some change
i wanted to go to college but no one saved for me
i stayed home and learned way too much
about drugs in a family
three more years locked down
do you think that i should forgive by now
you're wide awake in silence and you cannot hear me
how's the view from there
does the sun shine on that place
what is it you wear
i'm sure it's better than grey
i thought that i would be something especially
beautiful and talented and most of all clean
three more years locked down
do you think that i should forgive by now
you're wide awake in silence and you cannot hear me
try to keep yourself out of trouble this time
the judge he has no pity for you and of your kind
three more years locked down
do you think that i should forgive by now
you're wide awake in silence and you cannot hear me
Somerset
are you sick of the colors
are you sick of the bars
are you tired of everything
you're accustomed to thus far
do you wish for a woman
can you still play guitar
well you're mother still loves you
any which way you are
it's been a long time boy
i hope you understand
that this is what it took for you to be a man
you probably changed and you're probably different
but i wouldn't know cuz i never did visit
you probably wish for a whole lot better
but money never moved fast enough for you
can you smoke all you want
can you go back for seconds
i picked it up and i don't even like it that much
he is still opinionated
she is still sensitive
we can't change that we're related
it's just not something we discuss
it's been a long time boy
i hope you understand
that this is what it took for you to be a man
you probably changed and you're probably different
but i wouldn't know cuz i never did visit
you probably wish for a whole lot better
but money never moved fast enough for you
Patience, Boy
east of all the danger
caught up with a stranger
all of them were bastards
masters of disaster
as soon as you get outta here
you need some patience, patience
more patience, boy
you're dying for freedom
save me from you're demons
if all the stars are diamonds
i'm not asking you to buy one
i blink twice you disappear
you need some patience, patience
more patience, boy
there are mechanical animals
chasing after me
common words for common birds
that everyone can sing
you need some patience, patience
more patience, boy
Trainwreck in Pennsylvania
this train wrecked in pennsylvania
and there's nobody around
i am standing with my brother
on the outskirts of the town
we have half a million dollars
and a suitcase to our name
we have nothing much in common
but we share the same name
all of this means nothing
to everyone but me
if i can't make you happy
you are bound to leave
this train wrecked in pennsylvania
and we are finally free
this train wrecked in pennsylvania
and we can finally breathe
we have made it up to heaven
we are back on third street
school is not in session
this is summer just beginning
i miss those summer days
when the sun never fades
all of this means nothing
to everyone but me
if i can't make you happy
you are bound to leave
this train wrecked in pennsylvania
and we are finally free
i do not have to wear
a uniform up there
god don't need me to change
cuz i'm fine the way that i am
where everyone is happy
everyone is clean
and no one has to shower
cuz no one has the need
all of this means nothing
to everyone but me
and if i can't make you happy
you are bound to leave
this train wrecked in pennsylvania
and we are finally free
There is No Getting Through
find my way back down
from the hill behind the school
following the black top
til it leads me to you
dogs and rabbits in the garden
all bad habits started here
i'm not gonna change you
and i would be the last to save you
everybody turns eventually
cuz there is no getting through to you
i'll see you off
on a cold day
the coldest day that i have ever felt
the grass is not green
the birds do not sing
but everyone has got a lot to say for you
i'm not gonna change you
and i would be the last to save you
everybody turns eventually
cuz there is no getting through to you
