Work Today
01:30
|
|

|
I can’t go to work today, I can’t go to work today
‘Cause there’s nothing
That I’d rather do that spend the day alone with you
Or if you won’t have me I’ll spend the day alone
I can’t go to work today, I can’t go to work today
I won’t leave the house but they won’t miss me anyway
Well it’s that and I’m just too afraid
Yeah I’m just too afraid

Everyone I Know
02:26
|
|

Everybody knows
I’ve got a job but I never wanna go
Rather stay at home
Lay in bed, watch TV, and drink alone
And you’re just the same
You think bein’ grown-up’s some kind of game
And I’ve gotta say
All your interests and goals are pretty lame
Everyone I know is no good
Everyone is no good at nothin at all
They say we’re wastin’ such great potential, oh oh
Everyone I know is no good
Everyone is no good at nothin at all
I guess this all just means so little, oh oh
I don’t cook or clean
And need someone to pick up after me
What’s the point in being
Good if I’m never out and never seen?
Try to go to class
But before noon I can’t get up that fast
I could just move back
But my parents think I’m a pain in the ass
Everyone I know is no good
Everyone is no good at nothin at all
They say we’re wastin’ such great potential, oh oh
Everyone I know is no good
Everyone is no good at nothin at all
I guess this all just means so little, oh oh
I swear they were just nonsense words
You don’t agree
I swear that this means nothing… to me
Everyone I know is no good
Everyone is no good at nothin at all
They say we’re wastin’ such great potential, oh oh
Everyone I know is no good
Everyone is no good at nothin at all
I guess this all just means so little, oh oh

Girls Are Always Wrong
02:57
|
|

Girls are always wrong, they find out later on
They find out later on when it’s too late to fix what’s done
When it’s too late…
Boys are always wrong, they find out on their own
They find out on their own then they’re too ashamed to change what’s done
And it’s too late…
We all make mistakes
I know no one’s ever right, it’s proven every time
We’re human that’s what happens and it’s never worth a try
I fail at everything, and every day’s the same
I’m human that’s what happens and there’s no one else to blame
I am always wrong, but I’ve known it all along
And it’s so great
We all make mistakes

Boys Who Are Taken
02:31
|
|
||
|
I go out
get mistaken
And I end up gettin’ with boys who are taken
Who’s your girl?
I know you have one
I’m so sick of getting’ with boys who are taken
Who showed up and said that you’re sorry
Can’t believe you’d pick her over me
When you’re with a girl so damn ugly
I think you’re blind, keep your apology
Oh oh
Why’d you act
Infatuated
When I wasn’t the only one that you were dating?
If you cared
You would be staying
This is not the kind of night I anticipated
Who showed up and said that you’re sorry
Can’t believe you’d pick her over me
When you’re with a girl so damn ugly
I think you’re blind, keep your oh –
I go out
Get mistake
I’m so sick of gettin’ hit with this heartbreakin’

Friends
03:27

Well my friends we go out and we drink and we’re loud
And we’ll tear up the town to the point where you can’t build it back
The point where I can’t take things back
And they’ll swear I’m the worst cause I’ll spit or I’ll curse
And I’ll fight and the next day I won’t remember what I did
I don’t remember what I did
If you know where my friends are hangin’ out
If you know why they haven’t been around
If you see them please tell them to come talk to me
Well they all had a laugh when I climbed up the shaft
And I pissed in the elevator in that old parking garage
But I really wish they hadn’t watched
And thought it was cute til I kicked off my shoes
And I started to puke and my friends well they all walked away
I thought real friends would have stayed
If you know where my friends are hangin’ out
If you know why they haven’t been around
If you see them please tell them to come talk to me
All it takes is a phone call
And I’ll say that I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry
If you know where my friends are hangin’ out
If you know why they haven’t been around
If you see them please tell them to come talk to me

Warmer Days Ahead
03:08
|
|
||

I’m locked inside my bedroom
It’s way too cold outside
I’m sick of facing everyday
Under a gray sky
At Christmas this was pretty
The snow the ice and cold
I really think I loved it then
But now it’s getting old
The winter it gets to me
I feel it creeping in
There’s ice along my blood stream
Beneath my purple skin
I keep trying to love you
Pretending that it’s spring
But I’m so cold my heart’s gone numb
And I can’t feel a thing
When winter’s cold I freeze
Every kind part of me
And I swear it’s never planned
But no one understands
And when we gain some degrees
I’ll come crawling on my knees
And hope you’ll love me again
All my friends they said
There’s warmer days ahead
Warmer days ahead
Warmer days ahead
When winter’s cold I freeze
Every kind part of me
And I swear it’s never planned
But no one understands
And when we gain some degrees
I’ll come crawling on my knees
And hope you’ll love me again

Somehow I Forgot
02:08
|
|
||
|
I like to walk around in the middle of the night
And never settle down ‘til I find a place that’s right
And every time I do, I end up in the same old spot
The place I started out, as if somehow I forgot
I like to walk around in the middle of the night
And I’ll be all alone but I never feel alright
So I go walkin’ out to find myself a brand new spot
But I end where I was as if somehow
Somehow I forgot

I Think We're Alright
01:42
|
|
||
|
I think you left your phone in my room
It goes off and I wake up too soon
I tried tellin’ my friends but they can’t believe what we’ve done is true
But I always feel that we’re alright
Like when we’re stayin’ up late at night
We perch on the porch smokin’ and run if anyone starts a fight
The neighbors call us at 4am
And tell us not to do it again
My parents see me in the mornin’ and ask where the hell I’ve been
But I always feel that we’re alright
Like when we’re stayin’ up late at night
We perch on the porch smokin’ and stay until the sky turns to light

Wait, Wait
03:22
|
|
||
|
Walk past the neighbors at night
Hope that I get home alright
I think everything is better when you’re not around me
There’s just one thing on my mind
Call you up and down some wine
‘Cause the longer I wait is the more that I want to see
Your face an inch from mine
And my heart stops this is all I want
Right hand walking down my spine
Can’t close my eyes I could just die
Summer nights I’m flicking flies
Sharing stories telling lies
Stubby nails scratching my bites
Laughing shouting starting fights
Never been told that I’m kind
Screaming like a little child
Balled up crying on the floor just like everyday before
Your face an inch from mine
And my heart stops this is all I want
Right hand walking down my spine
Can’t close my eyes I could just die
I think you went out
Can’t find you around
I wish I hadn’t been so loud
But I guess I’ve calmed down
Where have you been?
Don’t give me this shit
You know I can’t take it
I’m so scared of nothin’
Time to get up get a life
‘Cause I wasted the whole night,
Time to decide what I want the rest of my life to be
I’m gonna catch up with you
If it’s the last thing I do
‘Cause it is a waste to wait for good things to come to me
Your face an inch from mine
And my heart stops this is all I want
Right hand walking down my spine
Can’t close my eyes I could just die

Good Time
02:40
|
|

Well I walk to the neighbor’s lawn
and I see in their eyes
And I try to walk down the street
But I see in their eyes
And you know what’s botherin’ me
You can see in your eyes
And I know what you want from me
I can see in your eyes
‘Cause you know what I’ve done
And you know where I’ve been
Yeah you know what I’ve done
That I’m at it again
I don’t wish I could take it back
And we both know time can’t skip a track
Guess I’m too young to mess around
It’s just what happens when you’re out of town
‘Cause you know what I’ve done
And you know where I’ve been
Yeah you know what I’ve done
That I’m at it again
I can’t help havin’ a good time
I can’t help it

Gorgeous and moving, this album fills a musical void in my collection that I didn't know existed. With lyrics that speak about the human condition and instrumentals that have a medieval flair, this has become my new musical addiction 😁 Not a single note is wasted here
