unknown

They're closing down the caldecott tunnel,
so tonight I'll dream she's the bridge.
I never knew there'd be distance between us,
what I've done cannot be repeated...
And I've got scars I'm willing to show you,
you had heart that I'll never see,
she had answers to all the wrong questions,
It's funny these answers are all that I need.

Carry me, carry me softly,
let her down easy so she doesn't know.
Carry me, carry me waiting,
Let her down easy so she can let go.

Tore down your freeway,
built her an airplane,
It's crazy the things we made in the sky.
So picture me drowning,
pretending I'm happy,
we end up regreting the things..
We don't try.

Carry me, carry me softly,
let her down easy so she doesn't know.
Carry me, carry me waiting,
Let her down easy so she can let go.

Here with my problems
I don't need the light,
they're bigger than darkness and darker than night.
I leave on a promise of something that shines,
perfection aint perfect

a leaver will find. I find this all the time

Carry me, carry me softly,
let her down easy so she doesn't know.
Carry me, carry me waiting,
Let her down easy so she can let go

I can hear ticking clocks,
Running rampant in Me,
chiming in apogee
Waiting for the cynergy
Of Her and Me waiting on the light
And I Never say goodnight
Never say that I'm always right

Now in you girl
I'm consent to drown
You're High and I'm so Down
This Night'll end sooner But much sooner now
I'm awake in you and You're Asleep in me
All the things I'll never be
Make me Wonder could you see
And I Said

Wait, till I hit the ground Harder
Wish I could Wait, To I could hear your heartbeat fast
Wish I could wait Till I missed her flavour
My days are numbered here
and I don't want to be the last one Home
don't want to be the last one home

Though I'm weak inside
I'm thriving just the same
Still Calling out your name
Wondering who it is that I should blame
Stabbing Hard and Buried
Consciousness and fear
Forgetting others I hold Dear
Won't cha maybe could you hear
And I said To

Wait, till I hit the ground Harder
Wish I could Wait, To hear your heartbeat fast
Wish I could wait Till I missed her flavour
My days are numbered here
and I don't want to be the last one Home
no no no
the last one home
(Oh here we go...)

There you are baby
just waiting on the sun
just Staring at the sky
said When will he be done
and I said there you are baby
waiting on the sun
staring at the sky
said when will he be done
when will he be done

and I wish I could wait, Till I see you shaking
wish I could wait to pull out of this one fast
wish I could wait till I taste your flavour
and maybe I can savour every last drop
and I said

Wait, till I hit the ground Harder
Wish I could Wait, to hear to hear your heartbeat fast
Wish I could wait to see you shaking
My days are numbered here
and I don't want to be the last one Home
the last one home
the last one home

You little creep,
That's what she said,
these quotes from your mother, get better every day.
And you'll be nothing, just like your father,
at least that's what the kids at school say.

And Jamie spent her Christmas at the Airport,
She said planes made her feel like she could get away.
And I spent Christmas in a detox ward,
I wish I had an Airport...
Someday...
Cause somedays are just so hard

And we hung like space stations and rocketships
And dreamed like we were things of the sky
We dressed like kings and queens and lovers
And shouted out into the night "we're never gonna die"
And I've waited here for hours, hoping that you'd call
And my dialing finger's tired, and your machine is full
And I've taken 18 showers just to pass the time
And that fucking phone just rang, but it wasn't you on the line.
(And you don't seem to mind)

And it was New Year's Eve, but I was thinking of the summer,
knowing that at midnight you wouldn't be around.
And they say children make the greatest soldiers,
they do just like they're told,
and take up less space on the ground.
And it seems to me that we'd been here before

Where were you when I was at the airport,
where were you when i wanted to fly
Tell me where you were when i was at the airport,
these planes fall from the sky.

And I wish I had an airport, somedays
Cause some days are just so hard

Letters to Noelle
Marked up cardboard boxes fell
I fell with them
Crushed like them
I am

Letters to Noelle
Years of waiting, nothing fading
Emptied out my pen
Carved the rest into my hand

Letters to Noelle
Written from my darkest cell
Filling up my wishing well
Waiting on their return

But the driveway's clear
You pray for silence
Step into my quiet violence
Do you see pictures in my words?
Standing still, I'm moving faster
Searching out my next disaster
You're gonna get what you deserve

Letter to Noelle
I see them in a box inside a case
That she keeps locked up in a place
I'll never be

Letters to Noelle
I emptied out my veins onto a page
Set to a scream you just can't gauge
She cannot see what's inside of me

But the driveway's clear
You pray for silence
Step into my quiet violence
Do you see pictures in my words?
Standing still, I'm moving faster
Searching out my next disaster
You're gonna get what you deserve

Letters to Noelle
Tied on ribbons in my brain
Obsession don't give way to pain
I know that now

I know that now

Departures are so hard
You say
Packing up your things
Your necklaces and rings
Your darvidan and morphine

You can't believe the actor
Smacked her
Gave her a black eye
There's something in a western winter
Where it's easier to say
Goodbye, Goodbye

These yellow lights
are turning red (turning red)
You starve your heart
You starve your head
And when its over
You go back to bed

I don't want a job
I don't want to go to school
I don't want a job
I've got more important things to do

You keep in touch with old friends
I keep in touch with you
Your begging me to make
Every little word count
I don't now but I used to
You still do drugs
I still play games
You prefer not knowing I call you names
In flights of fancy
Grandeur and fame
Goodbye goodbye

These yellow lights
are turning red (turning red)
You starve your heart
You starve your head
And when its over
You go back to bed

I don't want a job
I don't want to go to school
I don't want a job
I've got more important things to do

Wake up to the thought of you
It's december, remember
How cold it was in my garage
You sat with your legs crossed
and your heart lost
mine lost in losing you
Street lights like a christmas tree
But the fires aren't burning
Cuz it's 80 degrees
and I'd like to have you alone
In my favorite cologne
With the air on your hair
and we're still getting stoned
It's a shame the games we play
But I like it that way

These yellow lights
are turning red (turning red)
You starve your heart
You starve your head
And when its over
You go back to bed

I don't want a job
I don't want to go to school
I don't want a job
I've got more important things to do

More important things to do
Than you

She's out of school again
But she won't be calling from where she is going
the lines are jammed this time
what could a girl like her need with a slacker like me

If I were a terrorist
I'd bomb you're graduation
If I were a terrorist
there'd be no hesitation

So I'm going on tour with the band
She said "stay for the summer" but she don't understand
That the radio plays what they want you to hear
and I want them to play you your love song this year

If I were a terrorist
I'd bomb you're graduation
If I were a terrorist
there'd be no hesitation
The cameras are flashing
Her black robe is passing
and there I am chilled to my bones
This is the year my girlfriends leaving home

She'll probably end up with a frat guy
She'll probably get pinned while I sleep in the van
I'm sure she'll be home for thanksgiving
I'll send her a picture of me making out with a fan.... And.....

If I were a terrorist
I'd bomb you're graduation
If I were a terrorist
there'd be no hesitation
The cameras are flashing
Her black robe is passing
and there I am chilled to my bones

This is the year my girlfirends leaving
this is the year my girlfriends leaving
this is the year my girlfriends leaving
home
