California here I, here I come
Gonna make it big at number one
Sing about drugs and having fun
Feels like we're teaching kids to be dumb
Don’t think that I will ever forget the sound
Of a million people failure bound
Think I’ll take it slower this time around
Lot of crazy people in this town
I swear to God I’ll rue the day
That all good music fades away
Then there will be nothing to say
And all the talent in town will go waste
Radio stations try to keep us down
Everything just comes up washed and drowned
Think I’ll take it slower this time around
Lot of crazy people in this town.

She’s perfect for me, she’s perfect for me
She’s my constant motivation to do anything.
She’s so stunning she’s so stunning,
I can barely think straight because she’s so pretty.
She’s perfect for me, she’s perfect for me.
She’s down to earth and independent thinking
I think I need her now, I think I need her now
But I can’t quite go and get her anyhow because
You’re cooler than me, you're cooler than me
I hate you so much cause you're cooler than me.
American boy with blonde hair and blue eyes
And thoughts and aspirations that are bigger than mine.
You’re cooler than me, you’re cooler than me
You’ve got a great life ahead just wait and see
Goddamn you’re the luckiest guy in the world
But who could ever blame you cause you’ve got her.

Pictures From Before

Don’t wanna see you in your bathing suit
Don’t wanna think of you like that
Just wanna think of that 21st Century Girl
Who takes real deep pictures of her cat
I wish that I could take you anywhere
I wish that I could make you laugh
All the while I know that he fulfills your dreams
And seeing you together just makes me sad
I like your pictures from before he was around
I like your pictures without him
I like your pictures from before he was around
Where your wearing a sweater that you got from Goodwill
I've been thinking lately pretty baby that we should go.
All these crazy thoughts are running through my mind.
So many different things that I thought you ought to know.
I won't stop until I know you're mine.
I hope that maybe you would throw them all away.
Kill all these memories that you had.
You never minded any words I had to say.
Your happiest thoughts are the ones that make me mad

Every day it starts the same with how are you
And then you give a smile that makes my afternoon
If only I had the courage to make this true
Then we could be together now just me and you.
I don't know how much I really care
About the things I do when you're not there
Forgetting you just seems so hard to do
For all the conflict I put myself through.
Alone again without a friend is really rough
You say you’re busy all the time but what a bluff
Opinions clashing I don't care about that stuff
Cause when I see you smile and laugh thats just enough
I don't know how much I really care
About the things I do when you're not there
Forgetting you just seems so hard to do
For all the conflict I put myself through.

Why can't you, why can't you, why can't you leave me alone?
I’m screaming I’m screaming I’m screaming through the telephone.
Why can't you, why can't you, why can't you hear me out?
I can't handle it when your voice is filled with doubt.

Yearbook

I wanna bubblegum life in this shittown world
I wanna spend a whole night with an indie rock girl
I wanna live a life free from pabulum
I Wanna fuck my life up with something dumb
I wanna start taking lots and lots of risks in life
So I don’t end up broke with a boring wife
I wanna live a little live alot
have a good time I guess not
I should of went in a bit more strong
But how could act like nothing was wrong
There was a lot of bad shit going on in my life
I didn’t have the energy to take the time
To get to know everyone that I wanted to
Sometimes life’s a bitch and you’ll get screwed
I wanna live a little live a lot
Have a good time I guess not
Hindsight bias has caught me again
I should've should’ve tried to make you my friend
I wanna go
Please talk to me it’ll make my night
Please talk to me it’ll be alright
please talk to me, we can make up for lost time
and maybe I will give you my yearbook to sign
Things aren't how they used to be
I’m stuck a pool of my own sadness and insecurity
Don’t know how I’ll make it through
I guess I’ll, guess I’ll have to talk to you
Or clear up like a sunny day
With no horizon line and endless light rays
I wish I was more empathetic and could put myself in someone else’s shoes
Instead I feel like i’ve been living broken fragments of a life I didn’t choose
Choose.

For Me

Somewhere out there is the one for me
At least that’s how its supposed to be.
Hard to find but plain to see
Never ending misery.
Girl by girl I’ll conquer the world
In my mind these thoughts swirl
Feeling fucked up from the dream I had
Hopefully it won’t turn out that bad
For me you are the one for me
La da da da da daaa
Killing lies that strictly paralyze
I can see it in your eyes
Through these halls, now we’re out the door
This is what I’ve been waiting for
Holdin’ back, so many skills I lack
I will never face the facts
Love you so much until I get bored
Lets see what the future has in store
For me you are the one for me
La da da da da daaa

This is What Happens
04:46

I need a free ride to heaven’s door
Cause I don’t think my smile will get me there anymore
What i’m doing now just gets me stuck
so i might as well face it and start to grow the fuck up
I'm lost again
I’m lost again
I’m lost again
And this is what happens
I'm getting close with every motion I'm deciding to take
It’s no surprise I close my eyes and suddenly my life's at stake
Now I’m older and I’m colder and I’m well aware
Of what's eventually together and desperately not there

Lots of people went outside today
And they'll all have something to say
Like the sky is really gray
And I’m just sitting here wasting away
Broken fingers on the guitar string
Broken drums and a mic that swings
Like a bird with broken wings
And a voice that cannot sing
Existential crisis every night
Look in the mirror can’t stand the sight
Of a man with a broken life
Can’t seem to do anything right
Don’t understand socially
Why you won't be friends with me
Give them time and then they’ll see
Probably just gonna die alone
Cause it’s 5:55
And i'm barely alive
Sitting in my bedroom
Wasting time
Lots of people went outside today
And they'll all have something to say
Like the sky is really gray
And I’m just sitting here wasting away
Solitary life in my time
So bored I'm losing my mind
Sorry if I didn’t say hi
I've got a lot of things on my mind
Think I'm making a bigger deal
About the way I feel
These feelings just seem so real
I don't have nerves of steel.
