WHILE I’M ALIVE
something bad happened to you
i can tell by the way you stare
into the corner of a room
with no one there
something bad happened to you
do you have someone to talk to
it doesn’t have to be me
in fact, it probably shouldn’t be
i just wanna know what it’s like to know you
i just wanna know what it’s like to know you
i just wanna know what it’s like to know you
while i’m alive
while i’m alive
something bad happened to me
i used to blame myself
i still do, but now i blame her too
she should’ve known better
something bad happened to me
i was younger then than i knew
Lying to everyone I loved
Hiding from the truth
I just wanna know what it’s like to tell it
I just wanna know what it’s like
I just wanna know what it’s like to tell it
While I’m alive
While I’m alive
I wanna tell you the truth
I wanna know you
I think everyone could stand to be honest
Forget what we said, say what we mean
I’m gonna try it
i just wanna know what it’s like to know you
i just wanna know what it’s like
I just wanna know what it’s like to know you
while i’m alive

ALMOST MINE
It’s hard to know
What to feel sometimes
It’s harder to know
What to say
But i know it ain’t right to call you
I know it ain’t right to call you
I know it ain’t right
I’m seeing double
I’m scribbling lines
I wanna go back to when you were almost mine
How could you ever know
You were wasting my time
Wanna go back to when you were almost mine
I could not give
A reason
To save my life
For you to stay
You’re young and you’re fun and there’s no escaping it
You’re young and you’re fun and my heart aches for it
You’re young and you’re fun, I was fun once
I’m seeing double
I’m scribbling lines
I wanna go back to when you were almost mine
How could you ever know
You were wasting my time
Wanna go back to when you were almost mine
Stranger
Danger
Better stay away
It was nothing
Something
But that was yesterday
Yesterday feels like a long long time
I never thought to get you off my mind
You were almost mine
You were almost mine
You were almost mine
Almost
I’m seeing double
I’m scribbling lines
Wanna go back to when you were almost mine
how could you ever know you were wasting my time
Wanna go back to when you were almost mine
I’m seeing double
I’m scribbling lines
Searching for meaning to redefine
If you asked me how I’m doing I would probably say fine
But secretly I wanna go back
Wanna go back to when you were almost mine

NEIGHBORS
I was your lover
Now I am your friend
Not one, another
And we still like some of the same bands
Sometimes I wonder
Where would we end up
Then I realize
We’re already there, we’re already there
Keeping the neighbors up
But we don’t have any neighbors
Every time I call you up
I’m not doing you any favors
I’m doing myself a favor
I guess I’ll go out
Find meaningless again
You’re out of town
It’s easier that way, it’s easy
Keeping the neighbors up
But we don’t have any neighbors
Every time I call you up
I’m not doing you any favors
I’m doing myself a favor
I’m thinking of your sign
I’m thinking of your sign
I don’t believe in it
But I’m thinking about it
I think your dad is swell
I miss the hanging out
I miss the meals out
And i miss the ones in
with you and me and then
I stop thinking of
Keeping the neighbors up
Every time I call you up
I’m not doing you any favors
I’m doing myself one

SHADOW LOVE
You know me as the shadow walking
Around you with no sun above
I know you from the sleep talking
I know you, I’m your shadow love
Maybe I knew you long before I met you
A hologram, a winter mist
Not everything can last forever
Not everything can feel like this
I’m sorry for nothing
I’m sorry for nothing
I’m sorry for nothing
Nothing
I availed myself of the situation
I didn’t even say goodbye
I missed you like I always wanted
I missed you, and you know why
I’m sorry for nothing
I’m sorry I’m your shadow love

BIRTHDAY
i don’t remember your birthday
not that it matters anyway
i haven’t talked to you in months
i mean we haven’t really talked
this town is small enough
to run
into everyone you know
and who you don’t wanna know
A Tuesday night
i’m not looking for a fight
and neither are you
i mean i think i know the month
though i can’t place your sign
i guess astrology never meant that much to me
but lately i find
i get along with other capricorns
we wear our hearts on our sleeve
I’m pretty sure no one’s ever seen your cards
you’re tough, you bluff, collect and then you leave
this town is small enough
to run
Into everyone you know
and who you don’t wanna know
A Tuesday night
i’m not looking for a fight
and neither are you
neither are you
and it’s strange
it’s like i need you to know i’ve changed
but i’ve not
and it’s plain
have you changed?
you ask me to dance
and i must oblige
we were never very good
and we didn’t mind
stepping on each other’s toes
ain’t that our way
in a moment you’ll be gone
i don’t remember your birthday
