College dropout
Such a negative connotation
College dropout
Never livin' up to expectations
But I've had enough of this nonsense
Yes I work at a pizza parlor
No the music doesn't pay the bills
Maybe I'll go back again someday
But first, I must travel the world
Yes I've had my share of trouble
No I won't stop smoking those ciggerettes
Maybe you should sit and enjoy your life
But first, you must travel the world
Oh so perfect
You've got life all figured out
Oh so perfect
Your nose turned higher than the clouds
But I've had enough of this nonsense
Yes wish my hopes we're higher
No I don't wanna hear about my horoscope
Maybe I'll be big someday
But first, I must travel the world

This girl whose boy'o was in my band
said she wanted to be my friend.
She broke things off when I said no, but I
still got him to play the show.
...well...
This boy who was my friend once
told me that I drink too much,
then he got drunk and kissed me. Now he
says that I'm too clingy.
...well...
Stand me up!
And I'll turn around
Take me out!
I'll never come back in
Turn your cheek!
And I will kiss it.
Lose your head and I will tell you it
WONT BE MISSED
This girl I met a while ago,
she talks to much and I told her so.
After that she talked a bunch,
doesn't think I like her much.
...well...
This boy I thought was a good man,
I set him up with my best friend.
He stole all my booze and conned her so I
threw out all their furniture.
...well...
Stand me up!
And I'll turn around
Take me out!
I'll never come back in
Turn your cheek!
And I will kiss it.
Lose your head and I will tell you it
WONT BE MISSED

In My Head

I keep wondering
What you think of me
It doesn't matter
There's no place I'd rather be
Than with you
In my head
It's just you
In my head
And when I see you
I don't know what to do
And when the nights through
My brain starts to stew
On you
In my Head
It's just you
In my Head
I sit idly
With you beside me
I'm not lying
I can't hide it
It's just you
In my head
It's just you
In my head
And when I'm alone
I sit by my phone
And when the day dawns
I know my minds on
You
In my head
Its just you
In my heAEad

Nothing's really permanent except the word inked on my wrist
And the files in my head are locked with the keys lost in my toes
I don't have any money but I can pay you in beer bottle caps
And If I ignore you, it's cuz I wanted to
And I H-A-T-Everything that you do to me
And I C-A-N-Tell you why life is misery, OH
And I'll T-A-K-Even last place for gratification
But you W-O-N-Tease me, no sensation
I told you "I don't need you" to the air I breathe each day
I jumped into the deep blue lake but all the water was frozen
I'm sure your mother knows, that I'll be late for dinner
But I've got a really good excuse, there's just too much on my plate right now
I super glued my doorknob just to get you to stick around
But you wore gloves that day, and I'm stuck with the memory of the right one
I drink three beers with every meal just to better myself
Cuz I've been told, that alcohol can cleanse you
And I H-A-T-Everything that you do to me
And I C-A-N-Tell you why life is misery, OH
And I'll T-A-K-Even last place for gratification
But you W-O-N-Tease me, no sensation
bow da bow dig a bow now dow da dow

It's Nice to Not

So far so good
but I think about you way more than I would
If I were thinking at all of all the
reasons that I shouldn't.
So far so good.
Haven't gotten nearly as drunk as I said I would
being so troubled and all but
All this while you've kept me like I couldn't.
It's nice to not feel like I'm on your back
Yet
So far so good.
I don't think I've fucked up much
but you just might not
bring that up.
So far so good
but that expiration date's staring me in the face.
I don't want to see the face that you'll make when I
bring that up.
It's nice to not feel like your burden.
It's nice to not feel like I'm on your back. (x50 thousand)
Yet

You fucked up
What you had in place
You fucked up
Any sense of peace
Don't try to tell me
You had it it comin'
You only did it to yourself
Now mama's cryin'
What do you turn to?
You hear the sound of carbonation
Just suck it up
Don't show you're struggling
Don't let the family know
You're the black sheep of their kin
Don't try to tell me
You had it it comin'
You only did it to yourself
Now mama's cryin'
What do you turn to?
You hear the sound of carbonation
AHHH
AHHHH
Shut your hickey hole
No one wants to hear that shit anymore
You know that it gets cold
When you hear the slam of your front door
Don't try to tell me
You had it it comin'
You only did it to yourself
Now mama's cryin'
What do you turn to?
You hear the sound of carbonation

Livin' life out of a paper bag.
Can't go home and I don't want to ask my friends to let me stay
again and again and again.
I'm still not sure that all that's real is what I see
so I sat there for two days and let 'em crawl all over me
being eaten alive in my dreams.
Then it turns out I'm not asleep.
I'm leaving my house. I'll keep my suitcase.
No sense in paying rent if all my time's spent lookin' for a new place.
Something's gonna push my brain
right back to insane.
Bow wow bow wow bow wow
BA DUM
All the ambulance drivers complained.
Well, I can't explain it but at least my foot was on the break.
I interrupted their lives
just to keep me alive.
Standing shirtless in the headlights of a van
smoking a cigarette, ripping EKG sensors off my skin
to sleep in another bed
I really don't belong in.
The doctor tell me that my heart it ain't so strong.
The only anecdote: Don't do anything that ya love
and nothing that stresses you out.
Especially don't stand in front of crowds.
