Let You Go
03:36
|

i know you’re no good, you’re no good for me
i try to tell myself over and over again
i remember how, how you let me down
i remind myself over and over and then
i pick up the phone put it down again
i go through this shit over and over each day
think i see you each time i walk through town
i swear it happens to me over and over, oi vey!
you done me wrong left my heart needing stitches
but i still miss your kisses
as i write this song i remember how we fought
but i’ve still got a weak spot
i must be insane
cuz i really wanna see you
i’m wishing you were here with me right now
you know i really wanna see you
but i’ve got to resist somehow
cuz i really wanna call you
it would be a mistake i know
and i really wanna see you
even though i know i just gotta let you go
it’s so hard to make, make myself believe
i won’t be with you ever, not ever again
i try to convince, to convince myself
that i’m through with you forever and ever amen
i can’t call you up and it’s making me so sad
but my mom’ll be so mad if i do
she was the one had to hear all my crying
while i thought i was dying over you
and i know she’s right
but i really wanna see you
and i’m wishing you were here with me right now
you know i really wanna see you
but i’ve got to be strong somehow
cuz i really wanna text you
my shrink would kill me if she knew
that i really wanna see you
cuz we all know i’m better off without you
i’m a strong and independent girl
i know i’ll find somebody new
and most days i understand that
i deserve way better than you
but there are other days every now and then
when i’m feeling lonely i remember when
when we started out how you were so sweet
and how you’d blow on my soup when it was too hot to eat
before i figured out how you like to pick fights
how there’s no use in arguing cuz you’re always right
you’re such a jerk when you drink and you insulted my band
you never knew who i was you never did understand
so though i really wanna see you
i really wanna call you
and though i’ll miss getting to text you
though i’ll miss just being next to you
though i really wanna see you
it’d be a bad idea i know
and i’m not going to see you
cuz it’s clear my dear i just gotta let you go

Samantha
03:11
|
|||
well she’s cute, cute as a button
but you better watch out
she don't take shit from anyone
cuz she’s tough yeah she’s tough as nails
cuz she’s been through a lot
you wouldn’t know it cuz she’s so young
and her smile’s still as bright as the day that we first met
yeah we were only kids
at ms. beirman’s school of ballet
and i’ve been thanking my lucky stars for her ever since
when everything is falling apart
when i’m feeling black and blue
another useless boy has broken my heart
well it’s okay long as i got you
samantha
well she’s smart, smart as a whip
and if you need advice you won’t get better from anyone
and she’s short, only 5 foot 2
but what she lacks in height she makes up for in guts and spunk
and samantha loves being a girl and wearing pink
but you know she’s strong in her own way
she’s carried me through the worst of times
she’s been the light in my darkest days
well i remember riding my bike fast as i could
the five miles to your house
when things at my place were just no good
and i had to get out
well i can’t recall all of the times
i’ve asked you to bail me out
when it comes to you words fail me, girl
don’t know what i would do without
samantha

Let's Not Fight
02:35
|
|||
you and i could be out riding bikes
or record shopping down at generation
we could be on my roof snuggling
under a blanket watching the setting sun
maybe we could watch kung fu movies
while we’re eating chinese take-out for two
so why are we sitting here arguing
when there’s a million other things we could do?
let’s not fight
come on love, don’t be so cold
there’s so much fun to have before we get old
to waste a single day ain’t right
so come on baby let’s not fight
why are we shoutin? we could be making out
inside a fort that we made out of my sheets
we’re alone yeah my roommates aren’t home
we could be doing anything that we please
while they’re out we could be finding out
if two adults fit in my very small tub
or rifling through old tapes and cd’s
and singing clash songs at the top of our lungs
let’s not fight
life’s so short there’s so much to do
i wanna do it all with you
to waste a precious day ain’t right
so come on let’s not fight
we could be out at a rock show or an art gallery
i could be kicking your ass in a game of gin rummy
we could grab a bite up on 2nd and 9th
or walk across the brooklyn bridge at night
and if today was our last day on earth
would we want to spend it feeling angry and hurt
or would we forget about it, would we take it all back
and make the most of every minute that we had?
so bring me flowers, i’ll write you a song
we’ll kiss and make up and admit we were wrong
you hold my heart in the palm of your hand
so let’s not ever fight again

Everything's Overrated
02:05
|

i thought i wanted a job
so then i found me a job
and then i hated my job
turned out it wasn’t what i wanted at all
i thought i wanted a boy
so then i found me a boy
turned out having a boy
still didn’t make me any less miserable
don’t you know everything’s overrated after all
i thought i wanted a home
so then i found me a home
and then they tore down my home
for luxury high-rises and fashionable bars
i thought i wanted to feel
so then i learned how to feel
big fuckin deal
now i can feel it when they’re breaking my heart
i thought i wanted a scene
then i found me a scene
having a scene
still didn’t make me feel as if i belonged
i thought i wanted a dream
and then i found me a dream
turned out that dreams
leave you jaded and mean, i should’ve known all along

it’s been a great night and i mean totally great
went to the movies we just had our second date
not ready to say goodnight though it’s starting to get late
you asked me your place or mine i said your place would be fine
and now we’re talking and hanging out all alone
i know it’s late but i just don’t wanna go home
don’t want this night to be through i’m having too much fun
i’m not sleepy are you? what are we gonna do?
dance party for 2, your room, 3 am
dance party for 2, your room, 3 am
i think i’m falling for you like a fool and you know i am
dance party for 2, your room, your room, 3 am
you play me your favorite songs and then i’ll play you mine
turn up the volume i’m sure the neighbors won’t mind
jump up and down on your bed i’m having such a good time
the way you dance makes me laugh i like how you’re such a spaz
i’m feeling giddy and just a little crazy
i think i drank too much coke when we were at the movies
maybe it’s just the effect being with you has on me
think i could stay up all night i have a feeling we might
dance party for 2, your room, 3 am
dance party for 2, your room, 3 am
you got me feeling so up i might never come down again
dance party for 2, your room, your room
and if the neighbors complain and start banging on the walls
we’ll only turn the music louder
and if we dance till we’re panting and collapse on the floor
you know it doesn’t really matter
we’ll just lay there holding hands
and when we’ve caught our breath again
we’ll have a dance party for 2
dance party for 2, me and you
a dance party for 2
dance party for 2, me and you
i think you’re falling for me i can see
and you know it’s true
we’ll have a dance party for 2 me and you

with persistence you will be convinced
what you what you want you know i got it

No Way
04:30
|
|||
this is just no fun at all
i thought life with you’d be so cool
but every day feels like
a funeral
you’re always in a bad mood
king of the sullen attitude
it’s gone on for months now
snap out of it dude
cuz if you think that i’ll be hanging around
trying to cheer you while you’re dragging me down
and if you think that i’ll be sticking this out
so i can watch you while you’re sulking about
no way
star of your own tragedy
mr. dead poet’s society
seems you’re in love with your
own misery
you’re always falling apart
it’s always breaking my heart
you’ve turned defeatism
into an art
and when it comes to being sullen and cold
it’s like you’re going for the olympic gold
and if you think that i’ll be hanging around
getting more familiar with your frown
no way
you’re more than sour grapes
you’re like a whole rotten bunch
i’d feel sorry for you
but you keep beating me to the punch
I can’t make it right
I wouldn’t know where to start
but you could lean on me
instead you let this push us apart
and when i think of you
i think of a drowning man
so busy screaming for help
you won’t even reach for my hand
and everyone feels shitty every once in a while
but only you could make it your entire lifestyle
so if you think that i’ll be hanging around
trying to cheer you while you’re dragging me down
and if you think that i’ll be laying in bed
spending quality time with your self hatred
so i can watch while you reign
as the perceived king of pain
when you’ve got so much to be happy about
man if you think that i’ll be sticking this out
no way

Never Saw It Comin'
02:47
|
|||
sometimes you find what you’re looking for
in the last place you expected
sometimes you find all you dreamed about
in the one you least suspected
what a surprise when you learn to see
something old in such a new way
open your eyes suddenly his stare
is enough to take your breath away
it seems like yesterday we were chatting away
complaining on the phone how we’re all alone
he’d listen to me cry about these other guys
i don’t know how it took me all this time to realize
holy shit you won’t believe it
i think i’ve fallen in love with my best friend
holy shit it’s true i swear it
don’t know how i never saw it coming
sometimes you find what you thought was one thing
turns out to be another
sometimes you find after all this time
all you needed was each other
what a surprise when before the thought of a kiss
would have been shocking
open your eyes and he’s standing so close
and he looks so good that your knees are knocking
now it feels so groovy straight out of a movie
where a girl and guy are just totally blind
they can’t seem to catch that they’re the perfect match
but in the final scene they kiss and it’s just like a dream
holy shit you won’t believe it
i think i’ve fallen in love with my best friend
holy shit it’s true i swear it
don’t know how i never saw it coming
i’ve fallen in love
never saw it coming
i’ve fallen in love
holy shit you won’t believe it
i think i’ve fallen in love with my best friend
holy shit it’s true i swear it
and no one’s more surprised than i am

Sweet Sweet Boy
02:19
|
|||
Time and again don't know how I do it
Somehow I always manage to screw it
Up but I'm telling you that it's not gonna happen this time
Time and again don't know I manage
My failure rate's a shocking percentage
But I am telling you it's gonna be different this time
Waking or sleeping I'm dreaming of you
And I'm so glad you gave me one more chance to love you
You're a sweet sweet boy and I'm trying not to screw this up
Time and again don't know how it happens
Passion it fades and patience it slackens
And it all falls apart but it's not gonna happen this time
I've built up love just to watch it all fall
It seems I'm an emotional wrecking ball
But I've got a feeling it all could be different this time
I got worked up and I let you down
And I'm so relieved to find you still want me around
Cuz you're a sweet sweet boy and I'm trying not to screw this up

Crazy Tonight
02:54
|
|||
don’t know what went wrong today
that went and made me feel this way
but my claws are out and i’m about spout
insults and profanity
yeah my mood is fuckin sour
it grows worse with every hour
my demeanor’s mad and my temper’s bad
so back off and back off now
i’m going crazy tonight
there’s something in my head that isn’t right
i’m all fired up i swear i think i’m gonna start a fight
i’m going out of my mind
and i ain’t got nothing nice to say
so it’s in everyone’s best interest
if you all just stay away
i’m going crazy tonight
yeah i’m snarling at babies
I’m snapping at old ladies
I’m not normally so ornery
don’t know what’s gotten into me
should i get myself a room
in the ward at old Bellevue?
my brain is busted, can’t be trusted
don’t know what i might do
don’t know what went wrong today
that went and made me feel this way
was it the wrong side of the bed
or was i knocked upside my head?
my rage is so outrageous
man i hope it’s not contagious
i’d best be left alone
don’t try my door, don’t call my phone
and if you say i’m just premenstrual
i will stab you with a pencil
so if you should come to harm
babe, just don’t say that you weren’t warned!!
