Spider-Man 2 01:50
you sent me a letter telling me it was over it was the first letter i’d ever received and i thought what the heck how’d you get my address did seeing spider-man 2 mean nothing to you did thinking of you mean nothing i know i never told you but i spent lots of time imagining telling you i guess that’s not enough anymore
2.
Making Out 02:05
do you remember that time we were making out you lost your gum inside my mouth and we’re pretending we weren’t making out late at night on Elena’s couch would you tell me if you need me i can be there late tonight i can take the night off early i can be there late tonight probably shouldn’t go to san francisco but i’ll see you in san francisco now you’re fast asleep at your cousin’s house we said our goodbyes and you locked me out wish i could think of somebody else can’t decide how much i hate myself why’d you tell me that you need me it’s not like how i need you and i’m doing it to myself it’s not like i’m blaming you probably shouldn’t go to san francisco but i’ll see you in san francisco you called me up last night after you booked your flight just fly here next time i know you’re not that close with your cousin

Shark 01:35
Everybody says I'm a shark But I say don't go provoking Things with teeth enough To bite your head off Now I'm here Please don't blame me for Losing your head In so many pieces Now I guess we die Now I guess we're dead Now I'm here Please don't blame me for Losing your head In so many pieces Now it's passed I guess there's blood everywhere From your head When it emptied out
4.
Everybody tells you that you always like the same girls they like Anthropology bob cuts and crop tops And you only listen to pop songs like Doo doo Don't you ever wish you could find somebody Invite them over to play recorder Teach them how to play songs on recorder So those songs will go like this Doo doo Take her to a metal show where the punk rock bands Play heavy songs to dance to Wearing all black clothes you feel like you're out of place But then the songs kick in and you dance too Doo doo
5.
When we looked at christmas trees The scent reminded you of believing in something And you missed it so I changed the subject And we stayed past closing So we could kiss in the artificial snow You said I romanticized it because I always see it on vacation And I romanticized you Because I only see you sometimes I almost told you
6.
Bad for You 01:24
Bad for you And there was the night falling asleep sobering up on my parents couch I woke up and realized You're bad for me and I don't need you shouldn't take it seriously and plan my life around it and that night is the only night I felt that way but I know for a few minutes I felt that way and even though I don't remember what it was I figured out I know that once I had it figured out so when it hurts me when I miss you like I used to I remember I figured it out

Davey Babey 02:19
we used to take the train downtown from the universal city station learning bout the mexican american war on the walls while we waited I hate that we don’t talk enough I hate that I miss you so much And I don’t wanna have to think about it then we’re waiting in line for davey wayne’s talking about you and on the train ride going to davey wayne’s we’re talking about you and on the train ride home from davey wayne’s we’re talking about you and at davey wayne’s we talk to girls with glasses who look like you [i only want you ‘cause there’s nobody else and i don’t wanna have to think about it]

Alligator 02:56
a black alligator lives under the dock and it’s been sedated so it won’t do me wrong the yard slopes down slowly, the grass meets the creek and when i get closer my feet start to sink why draw it green when it’s totally black i keep complaining that it’s all i had fish in retention ponds murky with teak and when i get closer my feet start to sink and I’m barely floating to learn how to ski but i was too scared of what swam underneath they turned into beaches destroyed by the reeds and when I get closer I try not to think an old helicopter lands in the street blowing us down and destroying the reeds we go for a ride to escape from the heat and in a few minutes it’s under the creek
10.
if it were a real confession i’d keep it between you and me do you still want it are you glorified am i even trying when the man in church saw me saved from the fires of hell he turned me calvinist straight away i know how it ends why bother till then is the line about storing your treasures true it must be biblical i’ll come in broke sleeping on the golden streets i hear you’re in a recession i hear you need us i haven’t been listening i’m not ready
11.
In the moment all the conversations Echo in the different chambers Channel out all the negatives See if there's a way to get away Everybody only looks at People who look back Nobody takes a second to breathe Catching up with all your threads It takes a hundred years It takes a hundred years to even breathe Track something linear so you don't lose your mind Keep a place To feel safe Away from harm In the dark Keep a running tally of Whatever keeps you Moving on Remember when we left town for a new town A new town Don’t know what it means For you and for me Our sorry outfit Feeling unimpressed And I have to bet There’s hope for me yet something Linear Can’t help me Now i’m sorry I don’t mean it Always playing with your feelings Sort of empty Kind of greedy I want everyone to need me You don’t wanna hear about it But I wanna talk about it
