"The Night After" Run your fingers through my hair to feel every strand. Whisper my name to your pillow, take my arms and pull me close. Chorus: I swear this doesn’t mean anything. I’ll grab my clothes in the morning, run back to my house and find someone new. Kiss me outside a bar and bring me up your stairs. Lock the doors, turn the lights out. We can laugh and drink all night, but I’ll be a ghost in your bed when the sun decides to rise. I’m only good for sex A quick fuck attractive for a night of fun. But if you want to get close you’ll soon realize I’m better replaced by a more stable person a more stable person and I can’t be mad that I am so easily replaced, it’s just sudden disappointment to know that I lack the ability to be good enough. Well I wrote this for her and her and me.

“Weak” Chorus: Sometimes I hold my breath. I miss the dizzy feeling in my chest. Miss you in my front seat. My vomit is black. My hair is straw. Sunken eyes. Under bags of clothes. I am weak. I’m never strong. Verse: Much like my wardrobe most of me is made up of tiny pieces people threw away or donated. Like chemical bonds take this, I don’t need it. I am never going to find a whole set, anything that isn’t borrowed used or trashed. Bridge: I never will know what love is. I never knew what love was. Throwing up in the toilet at 8 o’clock in the morning. Wondering what made me think I could drink you away. Why’d I think I could drink you away?

I am sifting through my voice mail, Desperate to hear you speaking, As I lay down on the floor And count the tiles on the ceiling. Try to make out constellations In their cracks and spots and holes. Close my eyes and take a breath; Take a breath, inhale and hold. I'll get drunk on the floor of an attic bedroom, And I'll fall down in the front yard. I'll have a shit eating grin As the rain begins 'Cause I don't know where my shoes are; No I don't know where my shoes are. There is not quite enough time left To still be considered night. So we'll share my last cigarette And search for satellites. The gradient from red to blue; The sunrise that we never knew From sleeping in till the afternoon, And waking up hungover. I'll get drunk on the floor of an attic bedroom, And I'll fall down in the front yard. I'll have a shit eating grin As the rain begins 'Cause I don't know where my shoes are; No I don't know where my shoes are.

I hate last summer, Wrecked my car on the last day of high school. It was the first day I learned to walk again, But there's no place here worth going. I hate last summer, When you were overseas vising family That you'd never even met before. Wasted all my time by the phone Waiting for you to keep your promises. Light green eyes And long dark brown hair, I'd give anything to go Anywhere but here. My thoughts of you are gone now, And I can't quite hear The way you said "I love you" Before you disappeared. I hate last summer, Making seven twenty-five an hour And putting it all in to a band That was never going anywhere. And I hate last summer, How we fought every single fucking day. How you thought my school was too far away For your trust issues to handle. Light green eyes And long dark brown hair, I'd give anything to go Anywhere but here. My thoughts of you are gone now, And I can't quite hear The way you said "I love you" Before you disappeared.

We were walking down the streets out in the rain. I kept steady on my feet all the same. I'm gonna explode, I'm gonna go insane, But on the outside I look perfectly okay. Why speak out today, What I can put off for forever? When you ask if I'm okay The real answer is no never; No never. I will play the part If you want me too. And if all else fails, We can make things real. My eyes rolled back into my head. I wasn't feeling too well. My hands are shaking, But nonetheless I'm staying still. Your head was spinning And my arms are falling off. My face is bleeding from where you punched me in the eye. I never thought we'd work things out. (I never thought we'd work things out) Why speak out today, What I can put off for forever? When you ask if I'm okay, The real answer is no never; No never. I will play the part If you want me too. And if all else fails, We can make things real.
