Can't go out, got to stay home
I've got to stay hid
Manic depressive, or repressive
Emotions of a kid
I'm in my bed with a migraine
It's in my brain, it's in my brain, it's in my brain, it's in my brain, it's in my brain
In the front lawn
With the flowers
I can't stay green.. I can't stay green
Do you remember, your first cigarette?
Or being strung out in the bathroom
With your best friend Nicolette?
I'm in home with a migraine
It's in my brain, it's in my brain, it's in my brain, it's in my brain, it's in my brain
In the front lawn
With the flowers
I can't stay green.. I can't stay green
I'm in my bed with a migraine
It's in my brain
It's in my brain
It's in my brain
It's in my brain
It's in my brain
In the front lawn
With the flowers
I can't stay

Out of Touch

I need you, to hold my hand
I've been getting a little out of touch
LA was far fetched and I know I'm not in high demand
I want you, to call my name
As I wander the Back Bay through the night
September was too short, that's why I'm lying here instead
Lately I've been scared of the truths I tell myself
Is it a lie? Is it real? Force fed thoughts for mass appeal
And I don't need this ocean between us
She is my waves
What would it take to save?
I need you, to hold my hand
I've been getting a little out of touch
LA was far fetched and I know I'm not in high demand
I want you, to call my name
As I wander the Back Bay through the night
September was too short, that's why I'm lying here instead
She don't know how I've been feeling, white lies keep me reeling
It's time to make up my mind
Or stay behind, what will I find?
I'm not angry, just neglected
Thoughts of you are resurrected
Save me from my pain, I'm lost inside my head again
I need you, to hold my hand
I've been getting a little out of touch
LA was far fetched and I know I'm not in high demand
I want you, to call my name
As I wander the Back Bay through the night
September was too short, that's why I'm lying here instead

Young Love

Don't redefine me, all the colors in your hair
Between you and me, well I don't really care
You build me up higher, few and far between
The light in your eyes, it burns a deeper green
Oh It don't seem the same when you call my name
Oh it doesn't feel the same when you're calling my name
Walking along Boylston Street
Back to the place, where we used to meet
Through a thick haze, it feels like I'm asleep
It all makes sense, when it's Young Love in heat
Oh It don't seem the same when you call my name
Oh it doesn't feel the same when you're calling my name
A deeper shade of blue, it don't mean something to you
A lighter shade of green, spoken but unseen
Oh It don't seem the same when you call my name
Oh it doesn't feel the same when you're calling my name

Thursday Night

I could see it in her eyes, with her velvet hair and crystal lies
She slipped into a secret tongue, and went off
I never expected anything, but while it was happening
She slipped into my home
Oh she slipped into my home
I saw her pretty face today and though it went away
She slipped into her secret tongue, and went off
I never expected anything, but while I was wandering
She slipped into my home
Oh she slipped into my home
It was Thursday night
I never expected it like this
You piece me up to tear me down
It was Thursday night
I could see it in her eyes, with her velvet hair and crystal lies
She slipped into a secret tongue, and went off
I never expected anything, but while it was happening
She slipped into my home
Oh she slipped into my home
It was Thursday night
I never expected it like this
You piece me up to tear me down
It was Thursday night

Rainy Day at Work

I've been driftin' for a while now, and you say it smells like the rain
The leaves have grown but they're falling down
Maybe it's time for a change
My view's been a long way down to the ocean floor, but don't say it's all your fault
Shadows are longer in the winter time, that's why I'm crying out
It's so easy to picture yourself, somewhere you'd rather be
When it comes time to get off the shelf, you always drag your feet
My view's been a long way down to the ocean floor, but don't say it's all your fault
Shadows are longer in the winter time, that's why I'm crying
My view's been a long way down to the ocean floor, but don't say it's all your fault
Shadows are longer in the winter time, that's why I'm crying out
That's why I'm crying out

Standing on a street corner, no one's around, no one around
You call me up as I come back down, you turn me on
Get on the subway head back your way, from Mid-Town
Sleepless city, but no one's around
And you grab a hold of me, strung up in sympathy
Don't get lost in the ashes of terrible beauty
We all turn on the radio to forget the sound
Of our heart beats, of our souls
Strange people everywhere, no they don't care
Pills flying through the air, get swept away
Some lady says, "Fuck me," politely, I'm lucky
I said, "Oh you wouldn't dare"
And you grab a hold of me, strung up in sympathy
Don't get lost in the ashes of terrible beauty
We all turn on the radio to forget the sound
Of our heart beats, of our souls
You grab a hold of me, strung up in sympathy
Don't get lost in the ashes of terrible beauty
We all turn on the radio to forget the sound
Of our heart beats, of our souls

Drowning faster than you swim again
Trying to keep your head above the air
Telephone receiver lies across the room, whispers pouring out
The call to me, they call from you
Would you wake up? Would you wake up, next to me?
I can't count the times, the time we couldn't breathe
Would you stand up? Would you stand up to the sea?
I get washed away as it washes over me
I remember the late nights
Staggering through the broken streets
Slipping off the sidewalks as we danced around, falling down
We pulled back, as we fell to sleep
Would you wake up? Would you wake up, next to me?
I can't count the times, the time we couldn't breathe
Would you stand up? Would you stand up to the sea?
I get washed away as it washes over me
She spends her summers on the west coast
Trying to kick the thing she loves the most
And I don't know why, I try, when it ends like this
All I know is...
Would you wake up? Would you wake up, next to me?
Could you count the times, the time we couldn't breathe?
Would you stand up? Would you stand up to the sea?
I get washed away as it washes over me
Would you wake up? Would you wake up, next to me?
Could you count the times, the time we couldn't breath?
Would you stand up? Would you stand up to the sea?
I get washed away as it washes over me
