Scuffed up tennis shoes 
 She lives just one more chainlink over (back to you) Back through the middle With the wire cutters over my shoulder Trampled the flowers coming over (all for you) Back through the middle just a petty criminal When my heart's on fire I’ll burn my tongue for you All the rich kids play their heartless music while I’m crying over my bloody knuckles Ain't it hard, to feel this good? It ain’t hard to look this good (All for you) Oh, the band sounds like stage fright like late night fighting I want a normal life in here And if all we’ve got to remember Is a changing city And scars from a chainlink accident I’ll take that with me When my heart's on fire I’ll burn my tongue for you All the rich kids play their heartless music while I’m crying over my bloody knuckles Ain't it hard, to feel this good? It ain’t hard to look this good

DAGGER EYES 02:51
Your spit Oh, It tastes like Mexican Coke Sweetest things in life for free I ain't gonna lose no sleep Moving on from the factory Sweetest things in life for free We’re paying our dues to the Dagger Eyes Like breaking my heart for the sixth time Leaving it out for the Dagger Eyes Heartbreak in the cutting room I do it for me as much as I do it for you I do it for me as much as I do it for you Oh we’re running On the roof of a moving train Shaking off the Devil’s novocain Passing by the downtown hustle Like lightning in a rain delay The lot is flooding We’re paying our dues to the Dagger Eyes Like breaking my heart for the sixth time Leaving it out for the Dagger Eyes Heartbreak in the cutting room I do it for me as much as I do it for you I do it for me as much as I do it for you I do it for me as much as I do it for you I do it for me as much as I do it for you

I'd run into a busy highway If you were on the other side Maybe get hit, maybe I'll die for a chance to catch a ride I'd dance through a violent hurricane Just to keep you dry Oh we move our feet till the sunrise in the East If we make it out alive I'd drive into the ocean Just to learn to swim Among a shiver of sharks into the depths too dark but I'll resurface again I'd make a home in the airport The Ghost of Terminal 3 Haunt 'round and 'round till you come back to me I'd dance through a violent hurricane Just to keep you dry We move our feet till the sunrise in the East If we make it out alive I'll fall down Can't get tired of this Saw a bat out of hell in a handbasket We move our feet till the sunrise in the East If we make it out alive If we make it out alive If we make it out alive

METS 02:08
Staring at the sun in the garden we grow I've been walking into spider webs wherever I go I was overcome When the music stops but the words keep coming It'll never die if you keep humming along I was overcome When the Mets don't win and it hurts like sin on your sunburnt skin, just do it again I was overcome 360 Flip to Nose Blunt, baby Digging deeper than a Shin Bruise maybe I was overcome To live for a moment when the moment has passed I was slipping through your fingers, fingers of glass I was overcome On my walk to therapy where the sidewalk meets the edge of the weeds I was overcome

I walk through every evening I’m worn and torn in the right way Pantone Karaoke with your new girlfriend Looking over your shoulder at the ATM Barkeep, I’m gonna need another I only have her old phone number, aww Pantone Karaoke with your new girlfriend Looking over your shoulder at the ATM I put my two weeks in Four years wasting my time or did you just waste mine? Alright bring the drums in Oh the Rainbow Kid Aw he strikes again Oh the Rainbow Kid at the Pantone Karaoke... I stumble into my old ways Jukebox fistfight gone sideways Pantone Karaoke with your new girlfriend Looking over your shoulder at the ATM Barkeep, I’m gonna sing another Local superstar, pride of my mother, aww Pantone Karaoke with your new girlfriend Looking over your shoulder at the ATM Oh, I put my two weeks in Four years wasting my time or did you just waste mine? Alright bring the bass in... Oh the Rainbow Kid Aw he strikes again Oh the Rainbow Kid at the Pantone Karaoke...

NITE STAIRS 02:32
I’ve been left to rust in a sun shower Kicking up the dust in a wildfire Maybe meant to try and go it alone I don’t think that’s true Since I met you Falling in love like missing every last step in the dark Black eye just to say I want another try Falling in love like winning every race on a false start Miles ahead just to find out that I’ve gone too far Oh, I’ve gone too far Apologize to a ringtone We don’t talk anymore Gonna take the long way home, comfortably alone Do you think of me like I think of you? Do you think of me when I think of you? Falling in love like missing every last step in the dark Black eye just to say I want another try Falling in love like winning every race on a false start Miles ahead just to find out that I’ve gone too far Oh, I’ve gone too far

Sun never sets on a pale blue summer Bottle of gas station wine loading us up right Throwing up on the floor like it's the first time See the color of your eyes like it's the first time I was looking for a vice when I found you New York 2002, it was all I could imagine Looking for a vice when I found you Fall asleep in the passenger seat while we're waiting at the red light Dark blue in the morning suits you glowing in the low light You leave it all behind like this, this is the last time But you say it like you know this will never be the last time I was looking for a vice when I found you New York 2002, it was all I could imagine Looking for a vice when I found you When I found you When I found you When I found you When I found you

I'm alone in my bed with these faded freckle memories instead Dead stars shine bright before we forget It's a sun seekers paradise where you fall in love with the Grim Reaper like me I wanted you to like me No one ever wants to feel like that You're just like Vacation Torture No one ever wants to feel like that I'm just like Vacation Torture Vacation Torture Vacation Torture Vacation Torture Oh, virtuously patient like life is a waiting room I could pretend I never think about you anymore but it's overly saturated, highly defined, crystal clear nothing is alright in paradise No one ever wants to feel like that You're just like Vacation Torture No one ever wants to feel like that I'm just like Vacation Torture No one ever wants to feel like that You're just like Vacation Torture No one ever wants to feel like that I'm just like Vacation Torture Vacation Torture Vacation Torture Vacation Torture Torture

I thought of you for a New York minute again Stepping out in the freezing rain Fruit stand vampire watching me as I Sneak a drink on the subway train And it’s all we could do And the darkest nights are always blue At least for you I’m floating out in the Rockaways Not a care in my mind I’d rather surf to a watery grave than ever Leave those thoughts of you behind And it’s all we could do And the darkest nights are always blue At least for you You take the boy out of New York You never take it out of me You take the boy out of New York Ahhh-ah! You never take it out of me I flew the coop at a young age I cut my own hair now All the pigeons over Starr Street Find their way home somehow And it’s all we can do When you’re falling just enjoy the view It’s all we can do I thought of you while I was doing laundry A perfect time to overthink I wonder what you’d do if you saw me All my whites are turning pink And it’s all we could do And the darkest nights are always blue At least for you You take the boy out of New York You never take it out of me You take the boy out of New York Ahhh-ah! You never take it out of me

SLEEPTALKER 02:05
Night creatures talking through the day Sunbathing, uncomfortable and afraid Oh, I'm toss and turning staring at the ceiling Sleeptalker, you were sweet talking nothing to me I broke the dream machine, I broke the dream machine I watch a nightmare unfold all around me I close my eyes, wide awake... I was overcome, too much to fix before a setting sun Deep sleep through the alarms Like waking up in another person's open arms Waiting for another part Well, I'm toss and turning staring at the ceiling Sleeptalker, you were sweet talking nothing to me I broke the dream machine, I broke the dream machine I watch a nightmare unfold all around me I close my eyes, wide awake...

I left my voice at the bar saying the wrong things right from afar We're like lightning without the thunder miswrote your name and your number Forgetting the words we always play I'm a sore throat singer of dyslexic poetry Misread queues in the dark nowhere to go and nowhere to start I'm like an overly confident romancer too sure of a definite wrong answer Spinning songs for all to see I'm a sore throat singer of dyslexic poetry Ooh hearts, faded like bathroom wall art Bury me out in the last call Promise to run if the getaway stalls Ooh we fall asleep like two moths underneath the butterfly tree Bury me out in the last call Shotgun wedding in a bathroom stall The silence could be heard through the payphone wall from the glance at the bar to my untimely fall you were everything to me Cause you never fell for my dyslexic poetry Ooh hearts, faded like bathroom wall art Bury me out in the last call Promise to run if the getaway stalls Ooh we fall asleep like two moths underneath the butterfly tree Bury me out in the last call Shotgun wedding in a bathroom stall

Your face lights up, toe-to-toe with the sunset Oh, young and in love, too fast to outrun but we... We waited so patiently, oh we waited so patiently You chipped your teeth as a bottle opener why couldn't they love you like you were? Oh, young and in love Mistakes to outrun but we We waited so patiently, oh we waited so patiently You'll smoke a cigarette between the cars I'll never stop chasing her We'll burn like a comet in the stars Awh, burn it up, baby I'm over it Too young to be fucking it up So young and you're falling in love Go to sleep when the suns coming up It's never perfect but it might be enough I'm not tired yet but we stayed awake for tomorrow and if this is love I'd be too dumb to outrun it We waited so patiently, oh we waited so patiently I gave myself tattoo, I did em both for you and if this is love, nothing left to outrun but we We waited so patiently, oh we waited so patiently You'll smoke a cigarette between the cars I'll never stop chasing her We'll burn like a comet in the stars Awh, burn it up, baby I'm over it Too young to be fucking it up So young and you're falling in love Go to sleep when the suns coming up It's never perfect but it might be enough

DISARRAY 02:26
Am I running out of tears of joy? Eulogy for a sunset cowboy Fallen in the lap of luxury Back of the crown jewelry There's a weight to the wind, I swear like thieves in the midnight air I need to catch my breath running down highways It's like violence in my head when we're letting go of memories to the silence in my head let's embrace the disarray It's hard keeping secrets you don't like I'm sober now, remember everything from last night but I'm still just a... Distracted magazine flicker A passion dependent bread-winner A smoke break babysitter A bench clearing home run hitter It's like violence in my head when we're letting go of memories to the silence in my head let's embrace the disarray let's embrace the disarray let's embrace the disarray let's embrace the disarray let's embrace the disarray
