- 2923 Monroe St.
I spent the night counting down all the cracks in the wall
I'll start having to cope with the fact that
I see everything that used to hold my feet on the ground
Falling apart around me
Everybody knows the world will spin without you
And talk about you when you're away
Your best years see further away
- Cardellini
I've got a secret that you should know,
From the deepest part of an actors heart.
Lights, Camera, Kiss here comes the spark.
Let's take our chances in hide and seek.
I'm all in if we're playing for keeps.
Cause I can't let you know, I can't let this go.
- Decline of a midwestern civilization
So I stayed the night hoping you and I
Would fix this shit, sorry can I get it right
But the lights are off,
And I had my doubts she can't be gone
Using photographs
We're over exposed when the shutter snaps
We're the best damn actors imitating our past (we won't last)
- Detroit
You don't need maps when you know
where the sidewalk cracks
Let's walk everywhere we can tonight
It's dark but I tend to see more clearly in this light
Being too angry at the age of sixteen
Turns your early twenties to one of those dreams
Where you can't find what you're looking for
- Five Years
I follow the signs, dead ends every time.
For reasons you refuse to understand.
There’s no gleam in the future, just a shadow of doubt.
But you take my hand and we walk so proud.
You were the first and you may be the last one to enter my life.
You were the first and you may be the last one to turn on the lights
- From Mountain Movers, To Lazy Losers
We're holding on, but you seem to let go.
Chasing your silhouette in those aspirations.
But you swallowed your pride and closed your eyes,
Gave into the trends, you couldn't hide.
Because you can't spell friends without the ends.
And I know that we're still young,
and we've fallen out of love.
We ran so fast with the motions and the moments.
- Geography, Vonnegut and Me
You're running out, your heavy heart I hope it slows you down
I'll be your gravity and pull you to the ground
You're running out of solid ground I'll be your tectonic plate
That shifts and brings your head back to this place
Everybody does their time on the fault line
For now let's keep our feet on the same side
- I Locked My Time Capsule
We were born night owls
The warm makes our eyes glow
Summer makes our heads spin
And the smell of hot pavement
Making rain rise like spirits
Holy water still freezes to winter
We drink from the sprinklers
The neighborhood left on
- I Support Same Sex Marriage
You're a classic case of,
"Look around, It's obvious!"
But further down your arm from that bracelet on your wrist
Your armpit's getting sore from that crutch that you've been living with
You want to love him but you don't know how
I can live with I don't know how
- Like Ships In The Night
I didn’t need drugs to teach me not to care.
My feet were already downers to a world up in the air
I’m on the outside and I’m choosing not to look in.
I never fell too fast. My friends and I just like being those you see at night.
Walking through graveyards like zombies.
I want to soak in the moonlight.
- Michigan Boys Need to Get a Clue
C'mon baby, lets be honest.
Did you really think that you could be
All I ever wanted?
Learn to bite your tongue
And catch your words before the run.
Do you remember staying out all night?
That shooting star was a satellite
- Seasick
Yeah
We don't sink to the bottom, we rise
As your life slowly rots from the inside
Your throne is slowly slipping
From the side of the world
It's down to you in the corner
You've been pushed into
A mold of your father is what you've become
- Show Me Your Vanishing Act One More Time
I'm so scared
There's no need to live in fear
'Cause we're never far from what we know
We're never far from what we know
There's no need to live in fear
Because we're never far from what we know
We're never far from what we know
- Summer
Borrowed
I think this year has left me borrowed
Tomorrow I'm waking up the sun
I'm dragging the lake slow
Follow this life line of memories
Tangled by the water side
That's where my youth drowned
It fell by the wayside
- We're Still Pioneers
I don't want to let go
If I ever told you I hope life treats you fair
I take it back
Life just doesn't care
Life just doesn't care
But I still hate the way you just expect things to change
And when they don't you say it
In that overly optimistic way
- When We Stand on Each Other We Block Out The Sun
It's been two years since I've taken this way home
It's comforting to know not much has changed
From the fields we used to roam to sneak into those two abandoned homes
Everyone's a writer I just have a general block...
There's signs in every yard
but a piece of plastic doesn't tend to make my mind
- You've Lost Your Charm
Sometimes you choose to make any excuse
Any reason to believe you belong in this room
You can't live life from the sheets on your bed
And it's a long way down, before you reach the ground
Nothing goes as orchestrated
But before you know you're there
Keep your fist in the air
