Something happens
Not the way you want
Maybe it's your fault
Maybe it's not
But it's gone forever
There's nothing you can do
Call up your friends
Who can root for you
Me, I've got an instrument or two
I'll write a song about it
I've been able to be true
And for the moment things are OK
The way some things work out
Can cause you a bit of pain
You can take some time
Some time to go insane
Are the chords too simple?
The words too direct?
Nah, how do you put limitations on how you feel?
Well, writing this song won't send me back in time
And I might be sad again when it ends
But for 4 minutes and 7 seconds
I get past it for a little
That's far away now
That's far away
That's far away now
And I love you, guitar, but there's only so much you can do

Run to the Boathouse

Fell into the lake
Is anybody out there?
I don't see any help
And I'm not sure it'll ever get here
People walk around
Unaware of my position
They don't see my situation
In my state of desperation
You, you cannot, you cannot let go the memories
But you can, oh you can, reach down and bring them back
Now, don't forget, even though nothing will happen
But you can't, oh you can't, let them get lost in the past
I miss everyone
And everything I've ever done
And everything I've ever felt
And everywhere that I have ever been to
Just let it be gone
Everyone else seems to do it
Why can they just do it?
Are they not scared to lose it?
Hey, above the clouds there's always sun
You'll see it all one day
You will find out that once it goes
Away you'll be OK
To let it go and all those thoughts
Were never meant to stay
So let it go and slow it down
For your own sake

It's just another day
My brother's here to stay
I'll play the guitar
Do you like this song so far?
When things get tough
I'll call your bluff
I'll come through for you
Figure out what to do
You are lost and you are found
I'm just glad you're around

The Long Change
02:16

On the bench and so are you
Feet are tired, but we gotta skate through
Are we gonna make it to the other side?
It's a long change, but the game is on the line

Logical Reasoning

Standing in the subway car
Everyone's got a hand to hold
My right hand's collecting germs
On a pole that's old and very cold
It's nights like these I think of you
Wherever you are and whatever you do
If you come back, it was meant to be
But if you don't, it's all the same to me
I try to hold off my rage
I clap, snap, hand in the pocket
Clench my teeth, breathe through my nose
Crack my knuckles and cross my toes
It's about time I've met someone else
I wanna ask someone out on a date
It's been two weeks since I've gotten my
Haircut and it looks great
Kindle the fire and light the balloon
Most things seem to end too soon
If you'll come back, please let me know
But if you won't, then I've let it go
If two doors lead to the prize
And one's slammed shut and one's cracked open
Should you go the way you came in
If there's only a slim chance you'll win?
Going to sleep with 64 gigabytes on my chest
Unaware all its contents had just been repossessed
You can try to alleviate all your concerns
But after the rainbow, the rain always returns

I want to be with you but not forever, just not forever
Oh no, I want to be with you... but not forever, no, not forever
Oh no, I want to be with you... but not forever, just not forever
Oh no, I want to be with you... but not forever, just not forever
I have to be true to you - this is not forever, this is not forever
Oh no, I have to be true to you - this is not forever, this is not forever
Oh no, I have to be true to you - this is not forever, this is not forever
Oh no, I have to be true to you - this is not forever, this is not forever
Oh no no... oh no... oh no, no, no no no no!
You are not the one!
You are not the one, no no no!
You are not the one!
You are not the one!
Go! Doo doo doo....
You're not the one!
You're not the one!
No... you're not the one!
You're not the the one
You're not the one!
No, you're not the one!
You're not the one!
You're not the one
No, you're not the one
No, you're not the one
You're not the one
No, you're not the one, oh no

Alternate Ending

I wanna be with you now
But I don't wanna be with you forever
I'm sorry you'll have to come to realize I can do better
Start to think of the end before the beginning happens
In which direction is the safest way out?
It's a maze I won't get trapped in
My strategy is not to say or let on to what I'm thinking
But let you smile at me while we sit here eating and drinking
We could get out of here, maybe have some fun
I'll walk away and quickly stop and then it will be done

You are not going to believe me even if I told you what I knew
You are not going to forgive me even if I beg you 'til I'm blue
You are not going to release me even if I beg you 'til I'm blue

Miss Mississippi
04:23
|

I went down to Mississippi
With just my brother in tow
It was a place I didn't think of
It was a place I didn't know
We first stopped in New Orleans
Saw some friends along the way
Walked up and down Saint Charles
Hoping the rain would go away
Will the streetcar ever come?
Did that hand grenade have rum?
We sipped on Bourbon and ate beignets
Down to the last crumb
America the free
America the brave
Saw the flying of Confederate flags
And the men who put 'em in their graves
Now, the big city's alright for me
But I miss Mississippi sometimes
Crossed the border
Into the state of which we speak
For maybe just a day or two
But we probably could've stayed the week
Our canopy was blue
With specks of white painted on the scene
We chugged along the highway
Houses few and far between
The Rebels won the game
The Grove came into frame
We spent all night with the fair-haired of the south
Without a name
When it was time to leave
We packed our things and said goodbye
And headed on to Memphis
With a twinkle in our eye
I miss Mississippi sometimes

Come on.....
Did you get some sleep last night?
Did you just lie in bed?
Did you go out and party?
Did you hang out with friends?
What are you doing now?
Do you have any plans?
Are you gonna get a job
Or just sit on your hands?
And you know I know you're just
Trying to make some small-talk
You might even have a
Genuine interest in my life
My future is up in the air
Not quite sure what it's doing there
The picture's clearing but the focus is blurred
Please don't say another word
Why don't you have a girlfriend?
You should eat more vegetables
Are you coming over tomorrow
Before our friendship gets cold?
You can't just sit and watch
Seinfeld and sports all night
ESPN will be here tomorrow
And you still can't return a jacket for spite
And you know I know it's a
Tough job economy
But I'm more than fairly certain
You'll pull through one day soon
My future is up in the air
Not quite sure what it's doing there
What's LinkedIn for if I get left out?
Give me a connection, give me a shout
My future's here but I'm not caught up
I hear the second season kinda sucks
I want a nice, shiny legacy
As soon as I become an employee

I Miss Everything

How many times have I said 'see you soon?'
How many times have I really meant it?
I try, I'd like to think I try
You fall out of touch and then it's too late
Can't remember where you were on that date
It's sad, man, sometimes it's just sad
Wish I could take everyone I've known
And everything I've ever done
And throw 'em all on the shelf
To take out for a little while
When I want a reminder
Or a quick little update
I can't move on and I can't go back
So I'm stuck here in the middle
Ruining what I have
Wanna make every moment last
Somehow always goes too fast
I know, yeah, come on, I know
Put off whatever's next
Make it count in the present tense
And go slow, yeah, make it slow
I can't move on and I can't go back
So I'm stuck here in the middle
Ruining what I have
But how do you move on?
You see yourself smiling in a picture and can barely remember yourself being there
Trying in futility to hold it all together
Like the flame of a candle fighting for its last breath
We started out at 12
Went down and up again
Without even being asked
I miss everything
