The Summer That We Need

She’s putting on her favorite song
She’s getting ready for the weekend
I’m rehearsing dialogue
That I’ll recite when I go brain-dead
I got this twenty-four hour palpitation
The ticking on the clock has got me waiting
I’m thinking about her short skirt, hair in the breeze
And the way she rolls her eyes when she’s talking to me
And I don’t wonder why
She doesn’t have to try
She’s so alive
Woa-oh I love the way you talk back
Shake your head and smile when you do that
And I could never leave
‘Cause I’m always underneath
I’m singin’
Woa-oh you got that look in your eye
Take a breath and tell me that it’s alright
This might always be
The summer that we need
I’m running out of things to say
But I’ll do my best to pretend
Because I’m half way down the drain
And she’s leaning on her girlfriends
I got this one last chance to make you notice
I covered up the doubt with good cologne
It’s either turn around for a night on your own
Or I could really make you smile when I get you alone
And I don’t wonder why
She doesn’t have to try
No I don’t
I never wonder why she’s so alive
Is this all it’s come to
Make me shut my mouth
And I wont forget you
I’ll say it all out loud I have to
All it’s come to
Make me shut my mouth
And I won’t forget you
I’ll say it all out loud

When you’re alone by yourself
Do you think of something else?
Because I think about our dialogue
It’s the way I spend my nights
And I don’t think there’s something worse
Than to know you’ve been usurped
By the boy who wears the blue jeans
Anchorman’s his favorite movie
When you’re stuck in your head
Do you think of what I said?
Because I think about the day we met
The day I should have stayed in bed
And oh I never get this way
But I was blinded by the need to know
The way you look in lingerie
Now I can’t stay still
I can’t stay still anymore
No I can’t stay still anymore
And it’s ironic that at night
You’d stay up late and cry
When you thought about our time apart
The coming months are oh so hard
And there’s really nothing better
Than the time we spent together
But you traded that for real estate
A metaphor for getting laid
Now I can’t stay still
I can’t stay still anymore
And I’m shaking more
Than I’ve ever shook before
Now I can’t stay still
I can’t stay still anymore
No I can’t stay still anymore
You’ll be together forever and I’ll die alone
(All I wanna do is have angry sex with you)
When you’re alone by yourself
Do you think of something else?
Because I think about the day we met
The day I should have stayed in bed

I’m sick of thinking about the way that we left things
I feel it in my blood this time every year
It’s kind of cute but we can stop pretending
On and on
On and on and
I called your bluff and you think it’s a bad thing
That I refuse to act my age
I’m sorry I can never make you happy
Just say something
You know that you’re losing all your ground
Whenever I’m around
And I won’t try to change your mind
‘cause I’ve learned it all the hard way
And I won’t leave it all behind
The way you left it all behind
Do you remember the night you said?
You consider me your best friend
I knew you were there for me then
You were there for me then
Headstrong with your eyes on the future
Forget everything we once were
And everything that you were once defending
On and on
On and on and
Hard-pressed and I’m stuck with a picture of
The last time that I made you smile
I’m sorry I could never make you happy
Just say some thing
You know that you’re losing all your ground
(Stuck in waiting, contemplating odds)
Whenever I’m around
You were there for me then
(I’m sick of thinking about the way that we left things)
You were there for me then
(I won’t forget the way we met, the nights we spent on Madison)

Come on make me feel real
You don’t and you never will be
So change the way that you talk
And I’ll think before I speak
I hate the way you close your eyes
When you deliver all the bad news
And the way you act surprised
When I claim I always knew it
You wear your heart on your sleeve
Underneath
take a breath when it’s impossible to breathe
And take the words from my mouth
I’m leaving now
Leave you shaking in disbelief
I’m thinking this could be the end
Will you feel better in the morning?
I’m the voice inside your head
Whispering, making you unhappy
Oh I’m sinking
And I just wanna catch my breath
You’re always stuck on some thing
Some little thing
Just grow up, get a grip, and act your age
And take me out of your phone
I’m not coming home
I’ve had enough, I give up, you’re on your own
(Well I lament the things I said)
It’s too late to take those words back
(I’m the voice inside your head)
You’re the voice inside my head
(Always making you unhappy)
I’m done
Making you unhappy

Away
03:45

Cut my throat
The way you do with all your friends
And when it starts to scar and close the gap
Cut the scar again
If you lost a single part of you
When you put me in this place
They’d rip and tear the parts of you
‘Til you’re gone without a trace
Away
Like saying goodbye
To a best friend
‘Cause I don’t matter at the end of this
She said her phone ran out of battery
And she disappeared for five whole months
Like I knew
She would
Well if that’s how it’s gonna be
You wrote a masterpiece
On the abandonment you’ve known
But that’s all you’re ever known for
And you left you’re rock
You’re lost at sea
Now the waves and the tides
That rip through me will break you
They will break you
Away
Once again
You build me up to watch me break apart
The pieces fall and crush the ground around us
Once again
You build me up

Sunrise

Come On!
Here I am again
Singing line after line of the words that you fed me
It’s obvious
From the way that you speak you could never console me
It’s hard enough
But I’m never giving up never giving up
And it’s just bad luck
But it’s ruining my life ruining my life
I am alone
Forgive me
But I think I found a way to cope
We sold ourselves again
If it’s all over now
I’m wishing for sunrise
Summer come on and take me home
‘Cause I need this more than you know
Yeah!
There’s a quiet little bridge at the end of the road
Maybe I can show you where angels go
I tried screaming but my tongue’s ripped out
And your fingertips are stained
I’m hearing voices
They keep reminding me
That it’s hard enough
But I think I’m growing up think I’m growing up
And it’s just bad luck
But I never could decide who I really am inside
You don’t even miss me (x3)
At all
You wont even miss me (x3)
At all
I’m bursting at the seems
Cut open by your lack of faith in me
But I still believe

I am not the boy they think they know
I’m crippled to the bone
If it’s all you wanted
Wouldn’t you like to know?
Wouldn’t you like to know?
I’ll stay in bed
I’ll wait and no one’s listening
I’ll sleep instead
My dreams are all that I have left
What a charade
To make it seem like you’re okay
There’s a quiet little bridge at the end of the road
Maybe I can show you where angels go
The New York winter tastes like death
And jealousy is turning me into a monster
The summer sun gave its final breath
It’s time to take me home
The Prince and The Maker
Wouldn’t you like to know?
Wouldn’t you like to know?
Those things I said
I said and no ones listening
I’ll sleep instead
Don’t pretend like you were ever my friends
There’s a quiet little bridge at the end of the road
I won’t stay here and I can’t go home
Where did my father go?

I spent the first day wondering how you came to be
The next four months I spent trying to believe that I don’t need you
I don’t need you or anyone
I finally forgot about the girl who up and left a year ago
I’m right back on my feet and then you had to say “hello”
You didn’t need to
You didn’t need to
You’re killing me
Well I’m hoping that you’re worth it
‘Cause I’m feeling like I’m worthless
I wanna believe in you
I wanna hold my breath and count to ten
And hope you feel it too
‘Cause you’re stealing all the air out of the room
you’re killin’ me
Yeah I won’t sleep at all tonight
‘cause I need you to know
I’ll never let you feel undone
You’ll never feel alone
You shouldn’t have to
You shouldn’t have to
Well I’m hanging by a feather
Put me back together
You never know and you’ll never know
Well I’m hoping that you’re worth it
‘Cause I’m feeling fucking worthless
Well I’m hanging by a feather
Put me back together
You never know and you’ll never know
If I was never meant to meet her
or we were always meant to be here
You never know and you’ll never know
You never know and you’ll never know.

My bedroom’s littered with picture frames
Placed face-down and turned away
It’s a mystery how we got this way
(But you’re never coming back no you’re never coming back)
I wish you felt the same
But with people like you it’s just a game
That I spent twenty years learning how to play
(Now I’m never turning back no I’m never turning back)
Never turning back no I’m never turning back
You only hold me down
(You try to wear me out)
And now it’s not like then
(I’m never coming back again)
The thorn in your side
(Is screaming way too loud)
Starting to bleed you out
(I’m never coming back again)
Back again
Tell me I’m wrong
It’s like you’re fighting back with broken bones
Tell me that it’s all for nothing
And that you have to go
Tell me I’m wrong
My bedside nightstand’s full of past
From the days when you still called me back
When I fell apart at night so fast
(But you’re never coming back, no you’re never coming back)
I gave my blood and guts
But it’s easier pretending than to give a fuck
And I honestly am wishing you the best of luck
(‘Cause I’m never turning back no I’m never turning back)
Never turning back no I’m never turning back
Tell me I’m wrong
It’s like you’re fighting back with broken bones
Tell me that it’s all for nothing
And that you have to go
Tell me I’m wrong
It’s like I’m lying in an empty home
And if that’s true I’m wrong for you
Forget and let it go
Tell me I’m wrong

Partyin' Summer

Yeah I dig all the latest spots that we drove down
(Paradise here we come)
And I think we got a good thing goin’ on
(Good thing goin’ on)
I’m on the beach with the boys
And there’s plenty of girls
And we’re dancin’ like
there’s not a care in the world
and I’m hoping
I hope I see you there
(hope to see you there)
We’ll all be partyin’ summer
Take my hand ‘cause I cant wait to be with you
And I can see that you wanna
I can tell that you wanna see me too
And we’ll be partyin’ summer
Take your time because I love the way you move
(Party on for the rest of our lives pa-pa-pa)
(Party on for the rest of our lives pa-pa-pa)
Cruisin’ past the boardwalk and the hotel
(Paradise here we come)
We’re drivin’ top down on an island in the sun
(Island in the sun)
We’re rockin’ tank-tops, cut-offs, flip-flops, and shades
And I’m feeling this, let’s go all the way
And I’m hoping
I hope I see you there
(Hope to see you there)
Party all summer long
