Dreams

Well i don't wanna fall asleep, wanna close my eyes
cause i don't wanna be asleep without you
and you don't talk to me
with words that you want to use
and i can't see you
with my eyes
but in my dreams,
you're there
and you kiss me.
but in my dreams,
i die.
so i will wait for the day
when seeing you gets as easy
as the sunrise.
so i will wait
until the day
when i can't even remember
what it was like never
seeing you again.

well it's 11:11 and i've made my wish
so why the fuck aren't you here?
and what the fuck can you give to me?
when you know all the reasons?
and i try to talk to you.
but you only ask me one question.
"why?"
and i'll bet supervillains don't have these problems...
i bet they don't even fucking care
that the girl that they love has left them
for a time to disassemble
oh i bet superheroes don't have these problems...
so maybe i'll start wearing a cape
and maybe i'll start fighting crime
and maybe i'll fly down to florida
and i'll punch you in your fucking mouth.
oh i'll bet supervillains don't have these problems
and i bet superheroes don't have these problems

Dying With My Boots On
03:41

|

i've made my wish.
and i'm making it over again.
i've made my wish.
and i've decided i'm not keeping it.
i'm not spending my life on a pipe dream.
i'm not spending my life on a broken kind it seems
of a girl who just wants to cut herself
and i've already forgotten why i started talking to you
and to you
i'm sorry. i don't love you anymore.
i'm so sorry.
and i can't believe i wanna break up with you for a pipe dream
for a girl i probably won't ever meet.
and you love me so much.
and it hurts to let you go.
and i suppose it's like what my father once said,
"find your self a girl who won't get out of your head
and follow her to the break of dawn or til you
fall in the line of war."
"but for god's sake, die with your boots on."

October

well i want to smoke away
every light of beauty left in my voice
and i want to scream away
every hole in my heart
that you have left behind.
and i'm sorry that october
couldn't be our month.
and i'm sorry that i wrote you this song,
but i'll never let you hear it.
and i want to let you know
you're the girl who got closest to my heart.
and i never meant
to always be sad and lonely.
this is your song.
well i played you this chord progression
in the summer on your lawn
you said it sounded so countrytastic
and kissed me on the cheek
well, i want to take every kiss back
every unmeant feeling
that i'm sorry i faked.

Going for the Gold
07:08

and i got a fortune cookie
that told me i would complete my goal in two months.
and i got to wondering what my goals were.
and i came up with this much:
first i would really like to have my band play
at a punk rock show.
my second one would be to smile at least once a day
and laugh at least once at a stupid joke
my other goal is to get rid of this girlfriend
who deserves so much better than me.
i can't provide for anyone.
not for you, not for me.
another goal of mine is to grow up a little,
i'm almost released into this big world.
and i'm wondering what this guitar has to do with all of that.
can it take me up into the sky and save my soul?
and my other goal is to kiss tori
at least once on the lips.
i don't know if we'll meet halfway inbetween
her state and mine.
and i hope you will forgive me
for all the lies i've told.
there are few and there are many.
some are are new, some are old.
and i can't play these same songs
til i lie in the ground
my fingers have grown sore and stiff
and i just want to be someone else.
there's a symphony behind me.
i can feel it...
and i've had this same feeling
since i was 9 years old.
i'm wondering if it's all worth it.
like those stories i was told.
you were my one and only,
you are my only goal.
this is a race to florida,
and i'm going for the gold.
