Memories hit me
They’re flooding in
Taking over
I’ve lost my mind
Am I old now?
They say I’m young
But I see the young peeps
And I’m not them
Just keep going
Don’t watch the clock
Soon it’s night time
Then you can give up
I missed out, I missed out on everything
I missed out on Everything
I’m doing some learning
And I think that I’m wise
But my body’s burning
For those good old times
Swimming through screen land
It’s fucking us up
Watching the replays
Every director’s cut
Every Director’s cut
I missed out, I missed out on everything
I missed out on Everything

Out the Window

I love that moment
We talked each other into throwing it out the window
A man that don’t give enough
A boss who’s so out of touch
Let’s brush em’ off out the window
And when the light passes, we’ll leave that weight behind
These guys been draggin’ us down, can’t get em’ off our minds
Moving on, I see it, I see it
Moving on, she sees it, she sees it
I love that moment
You said enough’s enough just throw that job on the fire
And then the slow smiles
We realized we’re gonna raise that bar way up higher
And when the light passes, we’ve reached the other side
Short skirts and sunglasses, our outfits of the night
Moving on, I see it, I see it
Moving on, she sees it she sees it
I love that moment
We talked each other into throwing it out the window

Stepping Stone

Better I should know
You don’t talk to me no more
Was I just a stepping stone for you?
Friends, they come and go
And I hear your song on the radio
Was I just a stepping stone for you?
Ooo you did me wrong, I should have known
Working hard in the industry
I thought we’d keep in touch while we live the dream
Cuz you were my fan, and I’m still yours
Could you send a wave from California?
Guess you don’t have time for me, now you’re
Off to the Big Leagues
I believed in what we did
But I had a sense that it wouldn’t stick and
I guess that I am not surprised at all
Maybe if we talked up close
I could see behind your powdered nose but
I guess I never really saw in there at all
Working hard in the industry
I thought we’d keep in touch while we live the dream
Cuz you were my fan and I’m still yours
Could you send a wave from California?
Guess you don’t have time for me, now you’re
Off to the Big Leagues
Ride the wind, it keeps on blowing
But if you don’t stick to anyone before you know it
You will find you’re a stepping stone too
Friends, they come and go
And I hear your song on the radio
Was I just a stepping stone for you?

She Makes Men
03:57
|

|
First year residence, girl across the hall
It was totally different, she was a lesbian
And you needed a break from all the other girls
She was like no one else, she was like no one else
You never talked like that before
This was a girl who made you see
You never thought you'd fall for her
But talking like that made you believe
She makes men, she makes men out of them
They don't understand, so she makes men out of them
You always got the girl every other time
They were waiting there, while you stood in line
Behind the other girls, now you're in the wrong line
But she's like no one else, she like no one else
You're learning all her favorite songs
Put them on and dance around
You'd put on a dress for her
But she will only be your friend
She makes men, she makes men out of them
They don't understand, so she makes men out of them
(Aah aaaah, aah aah aaaah)
You never loved like that before
You went so far in your head
But boy, you had to learn somehow
There are some things you'll never get
She makes men, she makes men out of them
They don't understand, so she makes men out of them

It Will Pass
05:21
|

|
Take a breath, it will pass
Call a friend, it will pass
Wait it out, it will pass
Draw a bath
And when it does, you’ll forget
All your pain, so far back
You can simply
Carry on, it will pass
Shake it off, it will pass
Go outside, it will pass
Go to bed
So if you’re down, just wait for up
Cuz life it full of murder and chaos
Life is strange (it’s so strange)
Who is sane?
Love is lost (lost), love is gained
Believe me, I’ll try to believe myself
Say the words, say the words it helps

Good Friends
02:05

I got a friend I call when things aren’t going right
She’ll listen to me talk about myself the whole time
She doesn’t mind cuz she knows I’ll listen next time
She’s a good friend alright
I got a friend who always offers me a ride
He’ll pick me up and take me anywhere I like
We’ll go downtown and get some drinks on me tonight
He’s a good friend alright
Some people want a love to come take them away
I want a love that holds me up in the same place
Cuz there’s so many people here keepin me safe
I got good friends OK

I Won't Stop
04:11

Was it that I was so new?
Was it my unshaved legs?
He’s got knives in his eyes for no one but me
Every word I get out
Gets caught or twisted around
He’s got a filter that makes me wilt but
He’s got a filter that makes me wilt but
I won’t stop, until I win
I won’t stop until he’s gone
He stands back at my face
Cutting all of my light
Franky, I’ve been waiting for ya
Franky, I’ve been waiting for ya
And I won’t stop, until I win
I won’t stop until he’s gone
Well I went over everything to find what I did wrong
But he was making up all of the bad things that he saw
And I tried to be nice for so long but I don’t deserve this
It’s not working, and someone has to leave but it’s not me
I won’t stop, until I win
I won’t stop until he’s gone

Montreal
05:17

When we met up in Montreal that time
The trip went long, we found a ride
It left three days after the time
We were meant to go back to our lives
Ooo Montreal
Ooo I come when you call
As more friends came, we all got along
And everybody drank under the summer sun
And everything was right, keeping us in line
We snuck all of our friends into the show every time
Ooo Montreal
Ooo I come when you call
It was the perfect time
To forget about our lives
We left them in Toronto
For just a little while
We may have been messed up
And crossed some lines
But I think it was the best time, best time of my life
It seemed we never tired, or not enough that
We couldn’t be cured by an afternoon nap
Was it just my age? We were so young
It’s never been the same, but I still want to come
Ooo Montreal
Ooo I come when you call
Sometimes I go back
To play a shitty show
And look for the magic
But no one really goes
Well it's still worth a trip
Just never quite as nice
But it’s a pretty good place
To forget about your life
Ooo Montreal...

Love Is On Now
04:26

Love is on now, coming for ya
Don’t where it came from
I don’t know how it left
Was it just my state, hun?
I was such a mess
I was going under
I was diving deeper but I came up
It was off, and I was gone but now it’s on
It was off, and I was gone but now it’s on
Love is, love is, love is, love is on now
I had left Toronto
Probably for the best
Lost my mind in England
Headed home for some rest
It was a cold winter
But I bundled up and walked the dog
and her sweet, sweet energy and the fresh air brought me back to see some light
It was off, and I was gone but now it’s on
It was off, and I was gone but now it’s on
Love is, love is, love is, love is on now

Can't At All
05:05
|
|||
|
I learned talking but I can’t listen at all
I learned listening but I don’t care at all
I learned caring but I can’t feel at all
I learned feeling but I can’t love at all
I can’t at all
Each time I reach the summit I see another one grow
I’m searching through some places I never looked at before
But I’m so tired from working this thing I love that hurts me the most
I can’t at all
I learned loving but I can’t apologize
Apologizing now I can’t compromise
Negotiations, I still want to be heard
I take it out on him cuz I’m still hung up on them
And now they’re listening but I don’t know what to say
I said so much in my head just the other day
So scared it’s all for nothing
Am I just picking the bones?
I saw the way she moved. I know how it goes
And I see what we have in common, I’ll admit
But if I’m gonna end up like that, I should just quit
And I know she’s always there, with plenty of love
So then why am I so scared to call?
