Kenny brought the chalk and he's shaking the spray
Bobby blows bubble gum ready to play
Sarah sticks her tongue out she's got thumbs on her face
We never understood why daddy loves television
Lalalalalalala
Everybody's saying things that make a kid wanna cry
We just wanna be outside yeah
It's '09 and so fine yeah
Sit back soak up the sunshine yeah
Now I stay inside and watch the pixels on the screen
But when I close my eyes I live in simple memories
I swear now
I can almost see the end
I just wanna play on the sidewalk with my friends
Cut the jump rope
Bobby turns red
Tripped up, he could've lost his head
But Sarah don't quite like the sight of bloodshed
Everybody knows it's alright
We don’t need kisses on little cuts
Cause I count the bells of the ice cream truck
We're outside yeah
It's '09 and so fine yeah
Six cones, we'll get you next time yeah
Now I stay inside and watch the pixels on the screen
But when I close my eyes I live in simple memories
I swear now
I can almost see the end
I just wanna play on the sidewalk with my friends
Now I'm just as cold as any ATM machine
And I don't get the jokes in all the teenage magazines
I know now
That I'll never see the end
And I just wanna play on the sidewalk
With my friends

The Playground
02:52

I've been sleeping on the floor
I want everything and more
But I still wake up
Back shaped like a skateboard
I've been working round the clock
Still the second hand won't stop
Any minute now
I'll slide back to the ground
But the pain won't go away
Spotlights in my eyes
Can't see a thing
I miss the sand and the silly games
Cause in the playground nobody knows your name your name
I get up
Come strike a ten
Its time again
Its time again
I get up
Let's play again
Its time again
That time again
Don't you wanna stay?
Take another ticket to yesterday
I get up
Come strike a ten
Its time again
Its time again
I'm the kid who takes his hand
To every castle in the sand
Then begs his friends to build again
Start to get the feeling I could feel much better
If I just stop sleeping on the floor
I want everything and more
Back then you'd see me smile
If my swing lined up with another child
But the pain won't go away
Spotlights in my eyes
Can't see a thing
But in my mind it's a darker place
Cause in the playground nobody knows your name your name
I get up
Come strike a ten
Its time again
Its time again
I get up
Let's play again
Its time again
That time again
Don't you wanna stay?
Take another ticket to yesterday
I get up
Come strike a ten
Its time again
Its time again

Bright Side Baby
03:48

No time for love
No time for reason
Just scratch the answer deep in my skin
And I could be wrong
This time next season
I'll take back every kiss that I spent
But she's everything that I need right now
I look myself in the eyes and I lie through my teeth like it's nothing
Lonely up to my knees right now
Don't you know that I'd rather drown
I'm looking for my bright side baby
I'm looking for my bright side baby
I'm looking for my bright side baby
I'm looking for my bright side, for my bright side, oh
She got no sins
No complications
But I still dream of tropical sands
With paradise
Comes sweet temptation
So keep me from the popsicle stands
But she's everything that I need right now,
Oh I said it again
It's a lie
I could try
To tell the truth
But I don't want to led her down
Don't you know that I'd rather drown drown drown
And when she finally shut the door
Just about a second, didn't mind it.
But then I crashed down to the floor
Can't forget the darkness in my eyelids
I'm looking for my bright side baby
I'm looking for my bright side baby
I'm looking for my bright side baby
I'm looking for my bright side, for my bright side, oh

Hey You
03:54
|
|||
|
Yeah I lost my love in the fire
Ten stories in a single flash
And I still can't find my desire
There's nothing left
I take my pills and sleep with a blindfold
No monsters underneath my bed
But I'd still rather stay in a choke hold
Than breathe again
All the screens and photographs
They drive me crazy
I don’t need to look at that
Lookin for someone just for me
What's wrong with that?
I bet you need me too
Hey You
Yes You
Oh you
Well you could be my friend
It's true
So true
I'll lose
If I find no hand to hold
And yours looks cold
I'll keep you warm long as you don't let go
Hey You
Yes You
Oh you
You could be my, be my friend
Staring down through the bottle
Black holes they never seemed so close
I'm a phone call away from the start of
Another dose
And I run so fast in the other direction
But I never seem to get that far
I'm a stones throw away from a head rush
And another scar
All the screens and photographs
They drive me crazy
I don’t need to look at that
Lookin for someone just for me
What's wrong with that?
I know you can't say no
Hey You
Yes You
Oh you
Well you could be my friend
It's true
So true
I'll lose
If I find no hand to hold
And yours looks cold
I'll keep you warm long as you don't let go
Hey You
Yes You
Oh you
You could be my, be my friend

We said she was pretty since 2nd grade
Oh what a face she made
I'll never forget it
Walking by her side made me suffocate
Imagine the face I made
I couldn't tell if it was real love,
After all, we were only sixteen
And yeah I know that it was real love,
And I know cause we were only sixteen
And even though I know it's over
I fall asleep so I can hold her
Baby, won't you love me in my dreams again?
And even though my body's older
My heart's still young and it’s still cold yeah
Baby, won't you love me in my dreams again?
I said baby, won't you love me in my dreams again?
I was getting ready for wedding bells
As far as I could tell
Her skirt was a gown but
Now she's telling me bout her other plans
Cancel the wedding band
I could've sworn that it was real love,
She said slow down we're only sixteen
And now I wish it wasn't real love,
I can't find another girl for this ring
And even though I know it's over
I fall asleep so I can hold her
Baby, won't you love me in a dream again?
And even though my body's older
My heart's still young and it’s still cold yeah
Baby, won't you love me in my dreams again?
I said baby, won't you love me in my dreams again?
Haaaaa
I still want you
Haaaaa
Ain't it funny how the world can end
In someone else's arms
Ain't it funny how the distance
And the time tears us apart
But now I'm thinking about you
About the time you broke my heart
And it's still in pieces

Kick Your Friends Out

Kenny's got a real long neck
And Bobby keeps talking to himself
And sarah's got a big mouth
Can't keep her eyes on someone else
If I could get you alone
I swear they all would turn to stone
Better take the wigs out
Mannequin city
Lookin pretty but you always say you think you don't
I've been a real bad mess
But I'd hate to push the kiss
Display of affection
Far from perfection
But I think we can get to this, because
Every single time I come over
I'm always looking over my shoulder
Now it's time to kick your friends out
Kick your friends out
Kick your friends out
I know you feel a little scared
But darling with friends it's never fair
Gotta bring the big guns
Let em know when you're done
With the whole friendship love affair
And we can make a real bad mess
But I'd hate to get undressed
Display of affection
Make the connection
But I'm sure we can get to this
Because
Every single time I come over
I'm always looking over my shoulder
And every night I seem get closer
I'm ready to lose my composure
Now it's time to kick your friends out
Kick your friends out
Kick your friends out
Oh no don't look me in the eyes again
Cause you seem so shackled every now and then
I'd like to be the one to set you free
Now it's time to kick your friends out
Kick your friends out
Kick your friends out

Knock knock with the knowledge
Knock knock with the knowledge
Knock knock with the knowledge
Knock knock with the knowledge that you
The knowledge that you
That you are my son
Knock knock with the knowledge
Knock knock with the knowledge
Knock knock with the knowledge
Knock knock with the knowledge that you
The knowledge that you
That you are my son
I'm writing my words right on the spot
I'm telling you man this girl is hot
She's my tamalè my tabasco
My fiasco so I'm not calm
And even when Siri says I'm right I am wrong
Making me want to bite right off my own tongue
But then I couldn't kiss her like she want me to
And then I couldn't diss her like she know I do
I like to think my life is in my hands shame
My mom and my girl both asking where u been like I got
two chains
And no balls to cut them off cause that would be a pain
Vasectomy New York now I've seen more than you would
think man
I hit that 24
It's that quarter life
Can I get that sort of life
Not thinking there's more to life
This ain't no stream of consciousness
I'm so blocked up like god damn
I wish my mind was bottomless
And there's two voices in my head at least they never
agree
And poetry don't mind if you're pretty or you're ugly
And following the signs won't get you to the honey
So comb your hair back if you're good at making money
And there's two voices in my head at least they never
agree
And poetry don't mind if you're pretty or you're ugly
And following the signs won't get you to the honey
So comb your hair back if you're good at making money
And there's two voices in my head at least they never
agree
And poetry don't mind if you're pretty or you're ugly
And following the signs won't get you to the honey
So comb your hair back if you're good at making money
