Face to Face

I'd rather go one on one
I think it'll be more fun
and I'll get to know you
and you'll get to know me
and we'll go walking
and we'll get to talking
the sun will be glistening
and you'll know I'm listening when
I hear you say
face to face
"easy"
"kiss me"
face to face
I'll buy us both root beer floats
take a ride on a banana boat
admire the sunset
return the fish that we catch
you'll teach me the ocean
and I'll teach you to love again
we'll sail away together
two birds of a feather and
I'll hear you say
face to face
"easy"
"kiss me"
face to face
[drum solo]
We'll have a big family
building lots of memories
and grow old together
what could be better?
We'll keep playing shows
from Brooklyn to old Frisco
and grow old together
two birds of a feather
I'll hear you say
face to face
"easy"
"kiss me"
face to face

Sweet Hoody

Where did you find that sweet old hoody?
I haven't seen you wear it in a long long while
That old hoody, it reminds me of
That time we walked a mile
To play that show out in the sunset, at sunset
And you know, I feel right here and now
Just like I did when the
Days felt like months
And months, seemed like years and years
Memories linger and fill my eyes with tears
I haven't felt this way in years
Do you remember when we played the Purple Onion
And I wore all those clothes
And you loaned me that sweet hoody
And I wore it to the show
And that band that dressed like astronauts
Got tackled at the door
We never slept that night
Or so the story goes
Days felt like months
And months seemed like years and years
Memories linger and fill my eyes with tears
I haven't felt this way in years
Why don't we take a walk through the mission, on a mission
To find our former selves
And all the fucked up dumb decisions
We put up upon the shelf
We could feel the way we felt
Back at 18 Sycamore
When we met each others gaze
That night you worked the door
Days felt like months
And months seemed like years and years
Memories linger and fill my eyes with tears
I haven't felt this way in
Days felt like months
And months turned into years
Memories linger and fill my eyes with tears
I haven't felt this way in years

Come Down

Come down off of your cloud
Settle down and I'll tell you what's wrong
I know you know
All of the things I'm going to say
Very low, low
So very low, low
Come down off of your cloud
Settle down and I'll tell you what's wrong with me
I know you know
All of the things I'm going to say
So low, low
So very low, I'm so low
Come down off of your cloud
Settle down and I'll tell you what's wrong with me
I know you know
All of the things I'm going to say
I'm so low, so low
So very low, so low
Come down off of your cloud
Settle down and I'll tell you what's wrong
I know you know
All of the things I'm going to say

Forever

I try to grip on to time and space
I just can't see any other way
Take a look at this old mans face
And tell me I'm lying when I say
I just can't picture me and you
In any other life that's new
This is what we were meant to do
Forever
You feel the same it's in your face
There's no other be to place
Walking hand in hand
It's now or never
I don't think this means we lose
Everything I get I choose
Put your feet inside my shoes
I'm not lying when I say to you
You feel the same it's in your face
No backup needed just in case
It's the only dream we'll chase
Forever
I just can't picture me and you
In any other life that's new
This is what we were meant to do
Forever
Forever
Forever

Driving Song

He's home alone with his teenage hormones
Trying not to think about her
He phones a girl from his lonely world
He doesn't know what to tell her
Wake up, wake up, wake up
You're still on the line
Don't hang up, hang up, hang up
Don't hang up this time
If you want to crush all the mountains
And carry the dirt to the sea
If you want to flatten the world
First you must get through my friends and me
The man alone at the podium
Says that he can fix all your problems
He says with a grin if you vote for him
He's even gonna tell you who caused them
I say bullshit, bullshit, bullshit
This man is a liar
Liar Liar pants on fire
Liar liar pants on fire
If you want to tear down the houses
And level a forest of trees
If you want to flatten the world
First you must get through my friends and me
My friends and me
If you want to crush all the mountains
And carry the dirt to the sea
If you want to flatten the world
First you must get through my friends and me
My friends and me

Wasted Imagination
02:56
|

|
I never thought the day would come
We'd have to face what we had done
In a world that we love
Earth and sky above
You only see what you wanna see
If you and I could just agree
Well it happens all the time
People change their mind
This world is lost in translation
And wasted confrontation
Wasted Imagination
Always, imagination
The world is lost in translation
I never thought that we could fall
I always thought that we'd stand tall
But it happened anyway
It happened just that way
I only see what I wanna see
If you and I could just agree
Well it happens all the time
People change their mind
This world is lost in translation
And wasted confrontation
Wasted Imagination
Always, imagination
The world is lost in translation
Wasted Imagination
Always, my imagination
The world is lost in translation

Medley

(Dead Dog)
He said he could not be loved
He couldn't play, he couldn't
Leave these things for the young
Once you fall you can't get up
Why why why do we live this way
Price we pay for the ball and chain
Why why why
do we live this way
(RIVIVR)
Everybody's talking shit
We get use to it
And it goes on and on
Everybody's just a bore
Let's cut the chord
And it goes on and on and on and on
and on and on and on and on
(This Bike is a Pipe Bomb)
This is what I want
I want all the punks to
Take to the streets, playing their guitars
This is what I want
It's what I want
(Underground Railroad to Candyland)
I'm going downtown
To see the body of the bird
To see the body of the bird
To see the body of the bird
the bird, the bird, the birrrrrrr
(Fleshies)
You don't have runners legs
But you run away so much
Why don't you have a drink
with someone you can trust
(50 million)
I'm just a carpet technician
And I'm on a mission from god
Waiting for my ship to come in
I'm just a carpet technician
On a mission from god
Waiting for my ship to come
(Ramones)
Hey ho let's go
Hey ho let's go
(Toys That Kill)
Out here it's just a little bit stranger
What's a trip without a little danger
Take me in it gets a lot colder
That's why you got a head and I got a shoulder
(Marked Men)
This won't make or break me
It's just my OCD
I got a record that might sedate me
(Screaming Females)
Forward on the right
When day turns into night
Muscles flex your turn is next
Join in the fight
Yeah baby, he's waiting for you
(40 Oz. Folklore)
The neon lights
They keep you occupied
While they figure out
How you're gonna die
The neon lights
They keep you occupied
While they figure out
How you're gonna die

I Love You Anyway
02:33
|

|
You're always distant
Wonder where you are
Inconsistent
Battle from the start
When i grow up I'll show thee
I can wake up happily
And shed this ugly skin
I'm living in
And when I act this way
You're gonna have to say
I love you anyway
I love you anyway
Don't waste another day
I thought I heard you say
Inside the hospital
Inside where no one knows
I'm always with you
You're always in my mind
Us forever
There's never enough time
To tell you all the things I feel
Most of which is no big deal
But I feel you all the time
You're on my mind
I thought I saw you there
I thought I felt your hair
Pretend I'm unaware
Pretend that I don't care
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna be your friend
I wanna paint this town
Your favorite color
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

Destroy Me I'm Yours

|
I wanna go to California
Gonna pack my bags and leave tonight
I wanna go to California
Nah there ain't nothing wrong
It's where I belong
Destroy me I'm yours
Just be sure that you are sure I'm dead
Or you're sure to find
That I've made a narrow escape

Dots in Rhyme
03:01
|
|||
|
Two dots in rhyme
On the same line
Living together
In a zodiac sign
Two dots are more
When two dots can form
The lines in the sword of Orion
Without you I'm not
Much more than a spot
In fact I'm a dot
And I hate it, I hate it, I hate it
With you I'll be
Much more than a pea
Two peas in pod
Ooh I love it, I love it, I love it
