i saw you looking at sweaters and you found an ugly striped one but it was too big and then you found one with a cat chasing a bird chasing a worm and you looking around then you put it on then you moved over to housewares you picked up a picture mug and you laughed at it you put it up to your lips to see if it fit and it did so you got it i love stuff and you love stuff we both love stuff together i love stuff and you've got stuff well i don't love you i just love your stuff and then you moved on to the movie isle you went past the dvds and straight on to oh my god you went for the vhs i think my heart stopped oh bless this mess and then i saw the most beautiful thing you had two xanadu and i could not believe that you had two xanadu so i asked you why you got two xanadu and you said that you got two xanadu so you could give one to a friend the sweetest thing i've ever heard the greatest movie ever made you got two xanadu but i still don't love you i just love your stuff

i can't eat my computer i can't digest a vhs i can't cook my phone or bake my car without making an awful mess oh oh oh ohh i've learned what is important it's all the people that i know it's my community and the things we eat got to stop wanting things that i can't grow

Hard Times 01:06
i'm having a hard time i'm having a hard time getting out of the house not having a hard time with all this alone time i'm just wanting something else don't go out won't enjoy any local nightlife silently i'm like a stick in the mud turning down your dials souring your smiles cramping all your styles but i won't find it i won't find it i won't find it there i'm having a hard time i'm having a hard time getting out of the house not having a hard time with all this alone time i'm just wanting something else don't go out won't enjoy any local nightlife powerless, i'm like AAAHHHHHHHHH

Weirdo Club 03:03
weirdo club hangout time weirdo club hangout time weirdo club hangout time is where i go when i need to get away where do all of the shy kids go? cause when i feel shy i still don't wanna feel alone i am longing for a place i can just go hang around and not make a sound where do all of the sober kids go? and when i say kids i mean i'm 28 years old and i'm still struggling to find times i don't wait on bated breath this is life or death weirdo club hangout time weirdo club hangout time weirdo club hangout time is where i go when i need to get away and where do all of the sad kids go? they stay at home playing sad songs on the stereo we're just so obsessed with happiness to feel anything is pretty cool i guess where do all of the weird kids go? they're overwhelmed by status quo when it comes time to fight for our lives i know we will win put my whole self in weirdo club hangout time weirdo club hangout time weirdo club hangout time is where i go and i need to get away.

How Much 00:34
how much do you spend each month on cigarettes and drugs and alcohol? cause i wanna spend at least that much on candy and soda and ice cream for all of my friends cause what's the point in money if i don't spend it on the things that i love and the people that love them?
8.
Friendship 01:42
challenge the friends around you and when they challenge you too learn from how you respond learn to say when you're wrong cause no one ever said friendship was easy look outside yourself it's not all about me oh oh ohhh i've got to do better challenge the friends around you and when they challenge you too just open wide your mouth and let the thankfulness out cause no one ever said friendship was easy look outside yourself it's not all about me oh oh ohhh i've got to do better.

when your confidence blows and you fail cause you know your heart's not in it and you can't win it but you just wanna play so you play every night a different town, it feels alright but this county music is killing music so you step outside that box and then you take that box set it on fire and destroy everything inside feel your heart grow with desire from those ashes comes new life support your friends and what they do but only if it feels good for you and make sure you feel supported because that's important too that's important too is that it important too? is it so important to fee cool and when your confidence blows and you fail cause you know your heart's not in it and you can't win it but you just wanna play so you play every night a different town, it feels alright but this country music is killing music.

when i go to the doctor and they ask me if i smoke or drink i know they're not supposed to make any kind of judgment but i'm sure they think that i am a loser but if you've had all the problems that i've had maybe you'd stop and think before you put all that stuff in your system when your parts stop working you'll start to miss them cause my lungs and my heart and my back and my knees are all falling apart and i'm begging you please to take care of your self because all we've got is our health but what does it mean to be healthy anyway? is it physical? i don't know is it mental? i guess so is it emotional? ugh what does it mean to be healthy anyway? when i go to the doctor and they ask me if i love myself i know they're not supposed to make any kind of judgements but i'm sure they think that i am a loser

Your Hands 03:00
you put your hands down my mouth and you pull it all out i run my mouth down your spine and now you're all mine if you put your mind to it you can do whatever if i put my mind to yours we can do it together. sigh, talking
