Hang-ups

I run away cause i'm
Scared that you might leave
There's nothing wrong
But that's not what i believe
Just tell me it's alright
And tell me i'm okay
And tell me that you're
Staying here tonight

I feel stupid saying
Words you've heard before
The way i feel today
Is all i know for sure
And if i scare you
I'm only scaring me
I've got so much to say
Why won't you speak with me
I need to know

What you're feeling
Do you feel like i do
Let's talk about everything
I want to share my life with you
And tell me that you feel
The way i feel with you
And tell me that
You love me like i do

You're in my life
Well i want to be sure
I'm not wasting time
I've been through this before

If only i was taller
If i had a million dollars
Maybe then you'd be with me

If only i was eighteen
And had the courage
Of the a-team
Maybe then you'd be with me

But for now i'll have to dream
About your smile 'cause you're not
Here and all i want to say is
That i really miss you

If i could surf a little better
If i had sumner's sweater
Maybe then you'd be with me

If only i had more time
If i had mike ness' hairline
Then you'd want to be with me

If only you weren't so fine
If onlyi wasn't so blind
I'd find a way
To make you stay
Then maybe i'd see you

If i woke up
With all these things
Would it even change your feelings
None of that is even me
But for now i'll have to
Wait another week
To see your face and all i want to say is
That i really miss you

You taught me how to play guitar
You told me that i'd go
Far just by trying
Yea just by trying
When we were kids
Playing social d
Spiritual man on lsd
We were frying
Yea we were frying

Once in a while you'd fuck with me
And ground on my bass and it shocked me

Chris cayton i called you satan
Cuz when we were skating
You would make the metal sign

You got kicked out of school for wearing profanity
'too drunk to fuck' said the dead kennedys
On your button your punk rock button
You were born in s.i.t.
Vegetarian man no blt on your muffin
No turkey stuffing

Once and a while i'd surf with you
Our first band was called imru

Ou got some question about your life
You don't know how you'll ever make it through
It hurts so bad but it's all you got
You're asking me for help
But all i got to say now is that
You don't know what pain is
You haven't suffered one iota
So just stop your whining
You don't know what pain is

Stop complaining point your finger
I'll tell you who to blame

So pack your bags
We're going out
I want to show you
Just what's in this world
Cause in the end its all you got
Memories to tell about your life
And how you lived it

So live it good
I know it's all that you've given

You don't know what pain is
You haven't suffered one iota
So just stop your whining
You don't know what pain is
Stop complaining
Point your finger
I'll tell you who to blame

My little story's growing way too long
I've had to suffer
Enough to write this song
And if i get the chance
I'll tell you how it feels
Cause in this sick old head
The pain is way to real
So i fall down
I don't know
If i can make it up this time
I know i want to but it gets
Harder every time
And if it's easier
To give up everything
I'd give it all to you
To relieve half this pain
Cause it's been hard
Yeah it's been hard
I sit there at the bar
I wonder what i've done
Should i just fuck it all
Or should i
Go back home
Cause if i take that drink
I might as well just die
And if i kill myself
I'd be giving up my try

Living life and freedom
Wondering if my love
Could be as one
And if that you could
Possibly love me
Thinking life
And living life
Are two very different things
The first one being harder
Than the last

Tonight's the last time
That i ever show you me

Thinking all these days are gone
And dreaming of my time with you
Just makes me wish
That i was with you now

Driving the ninety
I'm thinking of you
If i could turn back time
I'd look you in the eye
Then i might see your lies

The young boy has
Turned into a man
And he's growing stronger
He's battled through things
He thought he could
Go on no longer
Father stood by his side
Wanting nothing more
Than just be his dad
But pride only answers
To one call
He only condemns him

And if the boy only knew
The father's pain
The nights that he
Stayed up late
Wondered why
Doesn't he see the future
Is so bleak so bleak

Father's retired now
He's left with tv and rest
The weight of the world
And what did he do wrong
Has gone to his chest
He had such a good life
The family he loved
Were all by his side
To his son he whispered
Goddamn this pride

So fuck i'm all by myself
Now you've gone away
You've left me
All by myself
With that fucked up
Thing you said
If i could forgive myself
You knew the way
Now i'm all by myself
And i'm sorry

But if you only knew
Your son's pain
How bad that he wanted
You to say
You're doing just fine
You turned out to be
One good guy
But it's too late

Went out today
To try and phone you
I guess you didn't
Recognize my call
The lady on your end
Said you got caller i.d.
And i'm feeling sorry
That you've been
Woken up so much
And i'm feeling guilty
Just talk to me
Please talk to me

I hardly know you
Is it too late to even try
I want to know you
Another twenty cent goodbye

I found a pay phone
And it's busted
Another broken hearted fool
But still i pick up the receiver
My lips are touching
Someone's drool
Please make this worth it
You're all i'm thinking of today
I know you're worth it
Just talk to me
Please talk to me

Goodbye
Another twenty cent goodbye
Another twenty cents
