Try Again

I tell her every time, damn books ain't worth your money,
you're barely keeping alive, go on now run away honey
My words they leave my mouth, nothing seems to come of it,
the patients come and go, the waiting, I'm sick of it
Come on now pick yourself up man,
you know very well she ain't coming back again,
listen up get yourself a plan, put on your shoes, walk out the door,
fix your shit and try again
Emotion takes control, everything gets all sappy,
one day I'll find the love of my life, like buzzing bees, you and me happy
The days of curly hair, are long gone and that's just the way it is,
now fixing broken hearts is my only stratagem

Everybody

Everybody wants to be famous, everybody's got some words,
everybody wants to be famous, everybody wants to be heard
Everybody thinks they're special, thinking they've got the magic touch,
everybody thinks they're special, thinking they're gonna make the cut
Evan he's gonna be an actor,
he wants to be in a movie you'll probably see,
Sarah she's gonna be an athlete, she wants to make all of the crowds scream
Sometimes I want to give it all up, and try to find a job that pays,
maybe I'll start a bar band, who knows you know, whats the shame
I really wish that I could be happy, singing songs to myself,
I really wish that I could be happy, without millions of peoples help
But I won't lie I want it all,
I want my poster hanging on your wall In your room,
But is that me or is that my phone screen,
brain washing and programming me to believe in unrealistic expectations of what success is
And they all told you it wouldn't be easy, and you just laughed it off,
but now you're out there in the real world, asking yourself
is this really what you want?

When I met you, you were sitting in the kitchen,
you said that you liked st vincent,
then we laid down in a park and you told me about the stars,
I was a bit young, but a little bit taller,
but I was too dumb to notice the problem,
and thought I was in love right from the start
And you got to hold the gun, thinking this is finally fun,
in control of your world, you thought you'd won
You came and went as you pleased,
no one could resist your charm and beauty,
to put it simply you had us all fooled
I was sixteen when you took about it all,
my love, my innocence,
my ability to fall madly in love with anything else in this goddamn world
But once you realized that was the truth,
you took off running for something new,
and set your sights for the distant land of Kalamazoo
Now four years has come and gone,
and I'm still trying to write this damn song,
but I'm having a hard time finding the words
So if this story sounds a little like you,
let me tell you, you probably got used,
the pain never stops but it does grow old
So finish your drink and follow the night,
try to crack a smile, who knows what you might,
just bump into throughout this life
Note: 1 Abuse of any kind is never okay, big or small.
2 Abuse is a choice
3 I was 18 when I finished writing this song so you can do the math.
you know who you are.

Do you realize, that we haven't got much time,
and that it's always a possibility that this could be our last goodbye
So I'm going to go ahead and try to open up inside,
cause the clock is ticking, and my mind is spinning,
and I don't want to be alone
So although the night might not feel quite right,
and a party won't do the trick,
I just need you to know that I love you so, so, so much
Cause the world is dying, and with every second we are too,
and with mother nature and her plastics and papers,
I just don't know what to do
So hold each other tightly,
please love them while you can,
cause who the hell knows when a bomb will explode,
yeah, who the hell knows
So although your life might just be a light that's destined to go out,
I just need you to know that I love you all so, so, so, so, much
