Stone in the Road

Can I come out
Cause I need something to do
Don't wanna drink on my own
Well that's not completely true
She said come over with me
Cause all I want is you down
And I'm not proud of the three times I drove across town
But I find losin' my mind can be so, oh...
Well I can't go out, I wanna be by myself
The walls are my friends, I don't need nobody else
We laugh and we talk about the things on my mind
You think that I really mind
Right now, I'm losing my mind?
But I find losin' my mind can be so, oh...
My window's open again
But no one's singing from down below
She said that I
I'm just like everyone else, I'm just
Another stone in the road
This road's
Going nowhere, and going there way too slow
Alright let's go I guess...I'll come out
With you if you gotta place
You know you're bleeding with doubt
They got enough guys, quite simply not enough beer
How bout you go on inside, I'll just wait right out here
Cause I find losin' my mind can be so, oh...
My window's open again
But no one's throwing rocks from below
She said that I
I'm just like everyone else, I'm just
Another stone in the road
This road's
Leading nowhere, there's no where else to go
Break my neck just do it while I'm sleeping
Oh well now I'm going home
Cause I can't think for myself
We both got what we need
But now I'm somebody else
So then she left with a kiss
She probably does all the time
I think I'm losing my shit
I think I'm losing my mind
The night's been a mess
I think I'm gonna run
But you say I should come and stay up to watch the sun
I think about it while I play a couple songs
You start to make me think you're right but you're wrong
Cause it's
Almost morning, it's raining, and cloudy as shit
Alright I'm gonna go out
Don't wanna be on my own
I'm gonna wear my good shoes
In case I wanna run home
You're havin' a time
Because you met a new guy
And you don't really mind
Right now I'm losin' my mind
But I find losin' my mind can be so, oh...

First Trip to the Ocean

First the trees came to life
Then the street started to wind
Up the hills in my mind
The clouds were turning black and I lost sense of time
It meant nothing to me
She came out of the dark from behind every tree
She walked right through me
Some things tell me to run
Why can't I just go to sleep?
Maybe then I'll make it all disappear
Like the street light that's talking to me
And though we barely came through
We promised we would stop
But it's probably not true
We ran into the woods
Thinking nobody knew
But everyone knows
We came back to see everyone had matching clothes
Check out my new nose
Someone can take me home
The sky is open, clouds in the night
They want to discover our heads
They say we should open our eyes
But what do you want from me?
You want to make me feel alright
You can't give me what is already mine
Just help me get through the night

Brick Wall

Fast forward to the part where Monica's
Making eyes at everyone
I play the part of "that guy in the corner
Who's waiting for somebody to come"
I guess it's my turn for her to gravitate
She's given everybody hugs
Is that your twin, your cousin, or are you just taking all of the same drugs?
I'm seeing two, I'm seeing four of you
Flying on the Pixie train
Just take away the wigs and the cigarettes
And everybody looks the same
I grow a pair and ask if she likes music
She grows an ego and decides to leave
Somehow she's dancing to Joy Division
While she's stealing everybody's weed
But nobody really knows you
Cause they're scared of what they'll find
Just go smoke another cig
Cause when they sneak up from behind...
She's a Brick Wall
A flash of a passion
But there's nothing on the other side
A Brick Wall
The back of reality's
The only place where she can hide
She could be mean, she could be bubbly
When there's no one else around
But she's neither, she's nothing, she's high as the sky, and her wall's never coming down
Flash back to the tainted memories
Filling up the morning sky
To California with a broken memory
Thinking it's a place to hide
A sunset and an endless party
Are too good to be true
You're home now, cause they're all phonies
And faking it just like you
Now everybody thinks they know you
And there's nothing else to hide
So go smoke another empty heart
Cause when they sneak up from behind...
She's a Brick Wall
A flash of a passion
But there's nothing on the other side
A Brick Wall
The back of reality's
The only place where she can hide
She could be mean, she could be bubbly
When there's no one else around
But she's neither, she's nothing, she's high as the sky, and her wall's never coming down
I say it like I've got everything figured out
But I don't
I think I’ll open up her lifeless eyes
But I won't
She's a Brick Wall
A flash of a passion
But there's nothing on the other side
A Brick Wall
The back of reality's
The only place where she can hide
She could be mean, she could be bubbly
When there's no one else around
But she's neither, she's nothing, she's high as the sky, and her wall's never coming down
No, no
I thought this was over but they build up almost every day
Brick walls, pretty to look at but they're always getting in the way

Atlantic Pathfinder

Drown in your mind
Find the time, it's all over now
Stand on the shiny Atlantic, she knows
Wipe off your smile
So wild, now it's changing shape
Smiling on changes beginning to show
Find control of the sand
Biting beneath your feet
Or it will take it's control out on you
Keep your mind in the sky
And your feet in the dirt
Taming the wind won't be hard when you do

Average Joe

With a name like holy water on ice
And a splash of dark whiskey with a little spice
She descended from the sky, a halo on top
But I put away my ring, cause everyone thought
We were just two stupid teenagers in love
Nobody told me she was sent down from above
I didn’t need them to, she gave off the vibe
That was the last time I felt that I was alive
See I’ve been pegged as a regular guy
I put my pants on one leg at a time
I mess up, I move on, and God only knows
That I’m a good willed person with a heart of silver
Oh I’m just a Jay but I’d like be Joe
Cause he’s not dumb enough to let you go
I wish I had another chance, but it’s too much to ask
I would’ve danced both my legs off if I knew it was our last
Now he’s her King making love to his Queen
On the blanket that I gave you when you turned eighteen
I’m just a jester on the floor with a bottle of wine
So I’ll crack another joke and just pretend that I’m fine
They say it seems like I messed up I say that they’re wrong
They think I’ll end up lonely writing sad love songs
I say that’s cheesy but it turned out to be true
So you can kiss my ass because I have a heart too
Now sometimes I’ll think when I look up at the sky, when you get
Lucky for a second in the blink of an eye
That luck can turn to regret, your blue sky to grey
Even the prettiest clouds will fade away
And even if your day starts out with a pain
In your heart, someday you’ll find someone who loves the rain
As much as you do, so pick up your head
She’s probably watching the storm from her window in bed
Oh I’m just a Jay but I’d like be Joe
Cause he’s not dumb enough to let you go
I wish I had another chance, but it’s too much to ask
I would’ve danced both my legs off if I knew it was our last
Now he’s her King making love to his Queen
On the blanket that I gave you when you turned eighteen
I’m just a jester on the floor with a bottle of wine
So I’ll crack another joke and just pretend that I’m fine
Now this’ll mean nothing as time goes by
Because you’ll never hear these words and you’ll forget you cried
When I dug out a hole for your heart
So I could bury it deep in the ground in the dark
The sun sets down as the story goes
She’s falling asleep with Not Your Average Joe
And she’s burned the book of her and Jay
While I read it every night and every coming day
Oh I’m just a Jay but I’d like be Joe
Cause he’s not dumb enough to let you go
I wish I had another chance, but it’s too much to ask
I would’ve danced both my legs off if I knew it was our last
Now he’s her King making love to his Queen
On the blanket that I gave you when you turned eighteen
I got my feet on the floor but my heart’s in the sky
I think I'll learn to love again and you're the reason why

We snuck in the guest room to find us a space
But my long legs stuck out into the fire place
When we crashed on the air mattress, what did I find
That you were passed out, gassed in the blink of an eye
That was the first time from them I did hear
I'd better say goodbye to Mom before I just disappear
Because I feel their beady eyes focusing on my mind
I think I made first contact, just don't leave me behind
Now sometimes I sneeze when I look up at the sun
And It seems pretty cool but I don't tell anyone
So I thrive in the nighttime not so much in the day but
I keep my secret hid so they don't take me away
There was a time when I thought you would save me, my baby
But you left me floating out under the stars
You don’t have any moon rocks to hold yourself down
I’m hanging up on Mars but you’re stuck on the ground
I’m in the mountains of Saturn looking down at your face
While you’re crying in the desert cause you left me in space
I know it’s all an act
Cause you treat all our fights like it’s practice
So please, have a seat on a cactus
Now Sometimes I wig out when my mind over thinks because
Altered states of consciousness aren't really my kink
And I feel uncomfortable right when my body goes numb
While I'm stuck inside my mind I thought this should've been fun
You think it's easy cause you give into it all of the time
While I'm cracking up and panicking, "I'm totally fine"
And the floor beneath my feet is like a river that leads
Into an ocean of your memory receding in dreams
I said I wouldn’t tell anybody you’re crazy, my baby
But since then I’ve had a change of heart and you’re gone
You don’t have any moon rocks to hold yourself down
I’m hanging up on Mars but you’re stuck on the ground
I’m in the mountains of Saturn looking down at your face
While you’re crying in the desert cause you left me in space
I know it’s all an act
Cause you treat all our fights like it’s practice
So please have a seat on a cactus
Alright I’m back on the ground and everybody’s insane
I guess the desert heat steaming must be melting their brains
But just because you’re imperfect doesn’t mean that you’re weak
If you get sick of waking up you can just go back to sleep
It’s safe to say everybody’s a little bit crazy, you baby
It’s hard to admit that I’m wrong, when I’m right
You don’t have any moon rocks to hold yourself down
I’m hanging up on Mars but you’re stuck on the ground
I’m in the mountains of Saturn looking down at your face
While you’re crying in the desert cause you left me in space
I know it’s all an act
Cause you treat all our fights like it’s practice
So please have a seat on a cactus
So please have a seat on a cactus
I mean for real, please sit down on a cactus
Ow
