Send me home for Spring Break,
It's got nothing to do with you,
I get lonely nearly every day, just looking for something to do
I'm so bored I'm just lookin' for trouble in all the wrong places so I'll just,
Waste my time with you
I'm so bored I'm just looking 'round places, staring at faces
Wishing they were you
I wanna waste my time with you
Just looking for something to do
Got Laid Off on the freeway
And moving home just ain't that easy
But I hope you come to see me
Don't leave me 'cause I'm blue
I'm so bored I'm just lookin' for trouble in all the wrong places so I'll just,
Waste my time with you
I'm so bored I'm just looking 'round places, staring at faces
Wishing they were you
I'm so bored I'm just lookin' for trouble in all the wrong places so I'll just,
Waste my time with you
I'm so bored I'm just looking 'round places, staring at faces
Wishing they were you
Wishing they were you

Fade in, the sun is up
Ricky says I’m a heart throb but I don’t see it
He says I’m blind but the mirrors never on my side
Fade out, mom I’m home
I’m sorry I ever left you alone I didn’t meant it
She says I’m fine but she knows that I know she’s lying this time
Fade in, you’re in my head
You said you wanted to be my friend you didn’t meant it,
If you really did you wouldn’t text me after 2am
Fade out, mom answer the phone
You’re always working and I’m feeling alone you don’t mean it,
I know you don’t mean it
Fade in, the sun is down
The mirrors still not on my side so I don’t see you,
You get mad, you don’t see it so I don’t see you

This moment is beauty
You make the moment whatever
You wanted, you hoped for,
You dream for, its there for you to skew
—Now I know you
And you know me, but I need this more than I can see, and you do too,
So just sit back and take that jacket off,
In perfect incompleteness
The moment is a figure in a suit,
Who’s shiny vest peeks out for you
To decide to leave or stay here for a few
Neurotic, I step back, guess 2nd’s, I turn on dimes
And I’ve lost it in mindless behavior,
I hobble back in anger, in protest, in sadness, every next second
Im haunted, the vibrance stuck in mind till the next one comes along
In perfect incompletion,
The moment is a figure in a suit,
Who’s shiny vest peeks out for you,
To decide to leave or stay here for a few
Can we just stop here and wait,
We miss so much in our days,
I miss the sight of your smile,
When you take off that coat for a while.

You’re calling me in the morning, storm clouds are forming you want to see me
I’m scared of leaving, you don’t care you’re screaming please just listen
I don’t love the weekend
These days are slowly creeping by, it’s almost summer time
I’m scared of seasons changing, I don’t want these weekends fading by, before we’ve had our time
It’s evening on a Friday, the TV’s on but the color red I want to bleed it,
I’m bed locked on a Saturday, sun is up but the sky is gray
I want to see you, how could I be with you,
I’m sleeping in on a Sunday
The tower’s looming trees are grooving I can feel them, and they’re screaming
I don’t love the weekend
These days are slowly creeping by
It’s almost summer time
I’m scared of seasons changing
I don’t want these weekends fading by
Before we’ve had our time
You won’t come to see me the California sun is bleeding out
You’re filling me with doubt
I’m scared of seasons changing
These days are slowly creeping by
And now it’s summer time

I don’t want to be the one
I don’t want to say I’m wrong
Or that you’d rather get up and go
And leave me down in the cold
Oooooo
Green eyes in my nightmares
Green eyes in the mirror stare
The night feels a little less bad
Feels like something I’ve never had
They’re running me into the ground
And somebody’s humming a tune
Well I was just homeward bound
And now it’s all brand new (Oooo)
Tonight stars will come out to play
In Montana my heart will stay
The fear of two lives together
Is like a dream forever that I’ll never talk about, because
I was so naive to run
Don’t you know I’m just looking for fun
And now
They’re running me into the ground
And somebody’s humming a tune
Well I was just homeward bound
And now it’s all brand new
I didn’t need you
But oh I need you
Sail in from the bay
Come around
Asteroid
Did you wanna come back
My weak eyes can’t avoid your selfish gaze. (Oooo)
Naked poets
Paint their truths
With clothes
It was the start of great nothings

G
I don’t want to fold my laundry today
F
I want to stay in bed
C
Just pile me under the clothes and let me
G
burn till I’m dead
You’re pushing me into the closet door
You tried to punch me again
You always hate it when I stay out late when I’m out having fun with my friends
Am. C G
You’ve never wanted to go out at night
Am C G
And every time I see them it ends in a fight
G
You’re pushing me down to the bedroom floor
D
You’ve punched me again
C
I’m wondering how much I can take of this
G
Before I cry again
You’ve never wanted to go out at night
And every time I speak it ends in a fight
Am C G
You get mad when I speak about how glad
C G
I feel about you
Am C
You get upset how I try to not forget
G F C
The times we had before you hurt me too
You’re pushing me into the bed again
I’m crying at best
I’m 19 and my first memory is sleeping on
Am C G
the carpet but you’re still in my bed

I’m not all that you want me to be
But I’m suffering through self induced anxiety
But you make me feel this way
When you turn your head and say
When you lay on my roof and you stare at the stars and you
Pray to god that you know who you are
Even though you think god just exists in your scars
You’re you again
Getting so hard to learn that time doesn’t wait
Stuck in my head all this alternative fates
But don’t wait up for me
I just want you to be free
So when you lay on my roof and you stare at the stars and you
Pray to god that you know who you are
Even though you think god just exists in your scars
You’re you again
When you’re alone in my room and I’m not there
‘Cause I’m 100 miles away
Living under some stairs
Take a look at my photos and don’t be scared
You’re you again

Would you hide away with me if I asked
Well I’m asking
This love is everlasting
Let’s make it last
Sometimes the world can be too painful to bear
Let’s close the curtains
Hide away from the hurting
This storm will pass
Baby lay down with me
Baby lay down with me
Shadow puppets on the ceiling
Fingers intertwined
Happy in our allegorical cave
There’s no such thing as time in here
All our problems simply disappear
Darlin’ I would follow you to the grave
Such a beautiful world we’ve made
It’s a bedroom-sized kingdom
You’re the king of diamonds
And I’m the queen of spades
If you take out your phone I’ll play my favorite song
Who is this DJ
She’s freakin amazing
Won’t you sing along
Baby stay here with me
Baby stay here with me
The world is burning outside
The oceans are rising
But here we are together
I would melt with you any day of this life
Baby you’re the best thing in my life
Baby don’t let go of me
Please don’t ever let go of me
