How To Run

Keep your voice down
You should know by now
That anything you say could set fire to this town
Now I’m folding like a deck of cards and
damn you’re the king who stole my heart
First time I saw you there sitting pretty in a motel bar
Should’ve known it from the star
Silence is questioning the
Violence tension brings
We were running from the night screaming
“I got the money, and you stole the keys”
Cuz silence and violence
I thought we were falling in love
but you were teaching me how to run
You told me I could have a better life
I said, “wait a minute, you can be Bonnie I’ll be Clyde”
Cuz we were flying high until we ran out of time
And your past caught up to you
I was a fool to think you’d choose me
Cuz no surprise, you chose you
Silence is questioning the
Violence tension brings
Cuz the rush is fun like a loaded gun
But you better run
Cuz silence and violence
I thought we were falling in love
but you were teaching me
how to run
Now things were getting fun
The two of us on the run
Back at the break of day,
You left with the sun
You said “I’ll meet you at the train”
But of course, you never came
Left me there with the evidence, and the baggage, and the blame
Now
I’m cursing your name
Silence is questioning the
Violence tension brings
Cuz the rush is fun like a loaded gun
but if I were
you,
I’d run
Cuz silence and violence
I thought we were falling in love
But you were teaching me how to run

Cool Guy

My dad warned me to never date a man who
Plays guitar in a rock and roll band
Dark hair string scars on his hand
So I waited till the end of his show
To tell him “Hey I like your brown leather coat”
Pull the alarm, pull the alarm, someone pull it
It’s lies
Covered up with love
Covered up with “I'll see you again”
But you never did
Cuz you never made it
So if I'm the one that you
If i'm the one that you want
Tell me now
Cuz im so, I’m so tired of waiting
His car smelled of regret and menthol
Gladly sat back watching me as I fall
Deeper again, deeper again, deeper again
And he’ll never know what he meant to me
I stood with the crowd but I got in for free
The high life seemed so pretty
But running with the wolves caught up to me
It's lies
Covered up with love
Covered up with “I'll see you again”
But you never did
Cuz you never made it
So if I'm the one that you
If i'm the one that you want
Tell me now
Cuz I'm so, I’m so tired of waiting
Hey cool guy, tell me, whatcha doing now?
He told strangers “yeah my band is pretty underground”
And “You probably wouldn’t get the lyrics”
But I got them fine
You know you know that it’s not that deep
But he's a poser a Lou Reed wanna be
And I’m begging you begging please
Don't read your poetry to me
Please don't read your poetry to me
It’s lies
Covered up with pretty eyes and a
Crooked smile that makes you feel alright for
A minute or two or until the band is through
So if I'm the one that you
If I'm the one that you want
Tell me now
Cuz I'm so, I’m so tired of waiting
And you’re so damn good at faking

Torn in Two

Lyrics:
I wish the shade of us was just as vibrant
As when I first met you
Do you hang on every conversation like I do?
Cover up this love in plastic wrap
I’ll try to make it last
I’m afraid we’re far too late for that
Might be
Time to let go of you
If you say
Not to leave then I won’t move
But I’m torn in two
Empty picture frames and waisted pages too
Now the memory of us, it lingers like dust
Covering my bedroom
I can’t escape this insurmountable pain
You’re the joker who love the game
Cuz you lit the match and left the flame
Might be
Time to let go of you
If you say
Not to leave then I won’t move
But I’m torn in two

Hang Around

Remember what it’s like
All those Friday night
Football games and concerts
We’d sing until our throat hurt
Late night July drives, oh those kept me alive
You told me your favorite song
And we sung it all night long
But I gotta tell you something well
I’ve been dreaming
up night scheming
summer lovin’
something more than this
cuz this is getting pretty boring
so let’s go far away one day
we’ll look back as we stand among the waves
cuz we got out of this town
but now I guess we’ll hang around
You’ve been sneaking out
To California towns
And you know I’m right there with ya
Let’s take a long vacation
I’ll pack the bags
Cuz you know that
I’ve been dreaming
up night scheming
summer lovin’
something more than this
cuz this is getting pretty boring
so let’s go far away one day
we’ll look back as we stand among the waves
cuz we got out of this town
but now I guess we’ll hang around
Imagine sand beneath us
Walking around Encinitas
Oh, you gotta trust me
Cuz you know that
I’ve been dreaming
up night scheming
summer lovin’
something more than this
cuz this is getting pretty boring
Let’s go far away one day
we’ll look back as we stand among the waves
cuz we got out of this town
You know that
I’ve been dreaming
up night scheming
summer lovin’
something more than this
cuz this is getting pretty boring
but now
I’m saying that now
I guess we’ll hang around
