What happened to you
You were always so complicated
Infatuated, in love with yourself
I bet you think that you’re so underrated
But you’re outdated, rotting on the shelf
Who do you think you are
Some kind of superstar
You’re looking pretty, underneath the city lights
But it’s not that hard
to look past your guitar
It’s not a secret when everybody already knows
Whoa, whoa
Think I might need a little help
Cuz I don’t know
I just can’t seem to figure this out
Guess I told you so
Now we're standing in the sunshine, but I can’t find a shadow of doubt
Well I guess that it’s true
Here’s something that you’d never picture
You, me and your sister, banging boots all night
Think I just became her latest fixture
But I can’t fix her, she was always wound too tight
Who do you think you are
Well you’re no superstar
You’re looking shitty, killing yourself every night
And it’s not that hard
to see through all those scars
You know there’s only so much that you can keep out of sight
Whoa Whoa
Think you might need a little help
Cuz I don’t know
Well I just can’t seem to figure you out
Guess you told me so
Now we’re standing in the sunshine, but I can’t find a shadow of doubt
Fast cars…and porn stars
They don’t keep me company
No they’d rather run from me now
Cash flow’s, just a little bit slow
Can you spare a nickel or dime
Ain’t it funny how we all chase money
Cuz it always adds up in time
But it always adds up in time
Don’t know what happened to you
It looks like you’ve run out of time

Body Lies

Your face says taken but your body lies
The lights are low, your standards high
I’m afraid of heights, but I’ll climb till I hyperventilate
I try to concentrate, you could be my motivation
No matter how hard to see the end
I just can’t begin again
Then I slip, turn around
You’re laughing at me but with a frown
You’re such a mystery, I need a you and me
And someone to figure out, reiterate and think about
I wonder you and I
If I could satisfy you
And I know it’s been like this before
And I know it’s been like this before
I know I got what you deserved
You leave me hanging on to every word
You said you wanted me, now that’s a sight to see, lately
The room is silent, three’s a crowd
Pin drop quiet, we ain’t laughing now
I wish that I could find, a way into your mind’s eye
Quickly, turn it around
Make a joke or a funny sound
I knew I had it in me to end this night smoothly
I need, someone to joke around, Imitate and laugh out loud
I wonder you and I
If I could satisfy you
And I know it’s been like this before
And I know it’s been like this before
And I know it’s been like this before
And I know it’s been like this before

Give Me Love
03:46

You’ve got me asking why
Won’t you give me love
It’s not nearly wide enough lately
And you could get me high
But it’s never enough
I need you all to me baby
You’ve got me by the throat, we keep it to ourselves
How your fingerprints stimulate me
So mysterious, it’s incredible
The way that you manipulate me
Cuz you’ve got that charm
Oh when you turn it on
I’m just the Blake to your Amy
Well I might the star, but this has been your show
Right from the moment you met me
Well this is just a game, I know I’m going to lose
You don’t play fair, oh baby break the rules
But when it calls my name I can’t keep my cool
I know I’m dumb , but I know I’m no fool
I just can’t stand it when you’ve got me
Got me asking why
Won’t you give me love
It’s not nearly wide enough lately
You could get me high
But it’s never enough
I need you all to me baby
You’ve got me asking why
Won’t you give me love
It’s not nearly wide enough baby
You get me so damn high
But it’s still not enough
I need you all to me lately
Down a Barton backstreet leading to one-twelve
Was the apartment you left me
I want to get away, baby calls my bluff
She invites like the lights on a marquee
Well I was going up
She was coming down
It’s hard to admit but you let me
Think for myself, but you’ve still got control
As hopelessly as it can be
Well this is not a game, but I don’t like to lose
I’ll act so hard, but I’m just so confused
I could always leave, but it won’t let me loose
I’ll just take a seat and eat up the abuse
Cut up and bloodied and you’ve got me
Got me asking why
Won’t you give me love
It’s not nearly wide enough lately
You could get me high
But it’s never enough
I need you all to me baby
You’ve got me asking why
Won’t you give me love
It’s not nearly wide enough lately
You get me so damn high
But enough is enough
I need you all to me baby
Oh won’t you give me love

Simpler Places
03:12
|

Take me back to simpler places
Like my old school or my best friend’s basement
I ain’t got the time to waste it
I’m getting older and more frustrated
My father says that I should get acquainted
To an average life with average escapades and
Average people with average faces
Working average jobs for average wages
Well I
Don’t wanna try
Living a lie
For the rest of my days
For the rest of my days
And the rest of my nights
I’ve got a Fender, I can barely play it
I feel so useless, yet so overrated
We all strive to be almost famous
Oh well I’m no Hendrix, might as well face it
My mother says that I should quit complaining
So I quit my job and I took up painting
You call it art, I call it entertaining
Oh but I’m through talking
And I’m done explaining
How I
Don’t wanna die
Living a lie
For the rest of my days
For the rest of my days
And the rest of my nights
Take me back to simpler places
Running with my best friend
While he barks and chases
Tiny creatures through their tiny spaces
Where their tiny problems all seem so basic
I don’t think I’ll ever get acquainted
To the kind of life where everything’s so jaded
Just take me back to those simpler places
Where I’d hide from problems
Not have to face them today

Breakdown
03:20

|
I’ve heard it all before
So hold your tongue and shut your mouth
Things have got a little stale
And I feel like moving out
I like it here but I can’t stay, I can’t stay, I can’t stay
I just wanna scream and shout
You know I've gotta run, run away, run away
Or else I’m gunna breakdown
You’ve got to break it down
Before you breakdown (before you breakdown)
You’ve got to break it down
Or you’re gunna breakdown
They say she’s got her momma’s eyes
But she’s got her daddy’s mouth
She lives with him way up north, in the cold, in the snow
But she dresses like the south
And she’s cool like the breeze
But all she does is stress me out
Got me waiting for the day
Until I’ve had about as much I can take and breakdown
You’ve got to break it down
Or you’re gunna breakdown (or you're gunna breakdown)
You’ve got to break it down
Before you breakdown (before you breakdown)
You’ve got to break it down
Or you’re gunna breakdown (or you're gunna breakdown)
You’ve got to break it down
Right before you breakdown (before you breakdown)
Breakdown
Don’t let me loose my cool
If only I could see you now
Going against everything that I taught you
I’d be cussing you out
And everything is on a plate, nice and quaint
I exclaim, right before your very eyes
Just don’t blink, stop to think
Rest assured, cross the T’s and dot the i’s
You’ve got to break it down
Or you’re gunna breakdown
You’ve got to break it down
Before you breakdown
You’ve got to break it down
Or else you're gunna breakdown
You’ve got to break it down
Right before you breakdown
You’ve got to break it down
Or you’re gunna breakdown (or you're gunna breakdown)
You’ve got to break it down
Before you break down (before you breakdown)
You’ve got to break it down
Or else you're gunna breakdown (or else it's gunna breakdown)
You’ve got to break it down
Better not breakdown

We'll Be Just Fine
05:14

Friday afternoon, nothing to do
Nothing rewarding to say
My relationships are stale
Or at least they make me feel that way
I’ll be bored for hours
When I think I’ll write a song about her
What comes easiest to mind
Do you see me in your eyes
Cuz I think I see you in my eyes
Cuz I think I see you in my eyes
I guess it happens all the time
I guess it happens all the time
I remember a time when we were so simple
Laying in the grass or the sand
Not holding hands
When we fight you’d come over
You’d lean your head upon my shoulder
So carelessly, you always meant so much to me, yeah
Cuz I think we’ve grown a bit too much
Cuz I think we’ve seen each other too much
You were always great for that
Being there when I lost my mind
You were always great for that
Feeling scared when I feel refined
And we’re doing fine
And we’re doing fine
And we’ll be just fine
We’ll be just fine
