To me this is a life style and not some silly trend
and years from now when they're all gone
I pray that we're still friends
in the sand at Gilgo beach
in the year two thousand and sixteen
I'll be 42 and so will you
in our chairs right by the sea
faded tatoos on our legs and back
and our feet are buried in the sand
I just bought a microphone for my kid
'cause she's tryin' out for a band

 

we lived inside each other
such careless lazy lovers

 

This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house
It seems like this whole town's insane
On the 31st floor, a gold-plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain

 

I say your name
I say I'm sorry
Oh it's not working
I'm no holiday
It's nobody's fault
No guilty party
I just got nothing
Nothing left to say

 

Had a talk with my old man,
Said, Help me understand
He said, Turn 68
You'll renegotiate

 

Still feeling this song so much.

 

I want you to stop insisting that I'm not a lost cause
Cause I've been through a lot
Really all I've got is just to stay pissed off
If it's all right by you

 

Remorse: when you stab me in the back with your dream

 

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared
After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here?
So, if you're asking me, I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what I've made
I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you
So, if you're asking me, I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting
All the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

 

Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back
And never moving forward so there'd never be a past

Beautifully sung, that last line always stood out to me.

I was a worm, I was a creature
I get on the ground the second I'd see you
You cannot command your love

I wasn't a catch, wasn't a keeper
I was walking around like I was the one who found dead John Cheever
Hand in glove

 

So blame it on me
I really don't care
It's a foregone conclusion
It wasn't so bad, I wasn't that sick
Got taken by love, I wasn't that quick
Foregone conclusion
It's gonna be different after tonight
You're gonna see me in a different light
It's a foregone conclusion

 

A million suns won't fill you up
If you can't see the wine flowing over your cup

 

I'm gonna hide out all night
Close my curtain and dim my light
I'm gonna lay here alone
Close my eyes and wish for home

Last time that I saw you
This is the end of
This is the end

Your face is surrounding me
The only face I wanna see
For now we're safe on the ground
We've got these words, these songs, these sounds

 

it's friday i'm in love

 

Tell the one about the man who dug a hole so deep he lost sight of his word

 

We haven't spoke since you went away
Comfortable silence is so overrated
Why won't you ever be the first one to break?
Even my phone misses your call, by the way

 

No it's not like any other love
This one is different because it's us

 

I have dreams of anonymous castrati
singing to us from the trees
I have dreams of the first man and the first lady
singing to us from the sea

 

And when I asked for a separate room
It was late at night and we'd been driving since noon
But if I'd known how that would sound to you
I would have stayed in your bed for the rest of my life
Just to prove I was right
That it's harder to be friends than lovers
And you shouldn't try to mix the two
'Cause if you do it and you're still unhappy
Then you know that the problem is you

 

put the broken pieces neat into piles
watch the ceiling sunlight swim
the present transparent
and I won't feel it again
but it's happening again

 

So in the end, whatever, we die, we dissolve
Equations unbalanced, riddles unsolved
And we were never connected or involved
Except for the intersections and crazy mathematics
With no time and no space and no schedule and no place
And they pass right through us without a trace
And sometimes that music drifts through my car
On a spring night when anything is possible
And I close my eyes and I nod my head
And I wonder how you been and I count to a hundred and ten
Because you’ll always be my hero, even if I never see you again

 

I never wanted to beg for you
I never wanted to ask anyone for their help
I know that when I don't (they'll know exactly what I want)
I'm just making a fatal mistake for myself

There is always a face you always make (please just tell me)
Whenever you don't believe (I need to know)
And I don't know what I want from you (I know you'll never have to choose)
And I can't tell if I lost anything that I need

 

I stare at the wall, watching my time float away. It’s all been a blur, and nothing will change.
