I won't let you down again
Even when you think that we're still friends
When everything turns out to be my fault
I won't let you down again, again
Even when it seems like we're not friends
When everything turns out to be your fault
I won't let you down again, again and again and again and again
I've got a silly feeling
And it hasn't gone away for years
I know I've gotta work on myself
If I'm ever gonna live for myself
I will get up
I'll try again
And I know I've got to improve
If I wanna be all good like you
I've gotta try
Try again
I won't let me down again, again
Even when I think I've made amends
When everything turns out to be our fault
I won't let me down again, again and again and again and again
I've got a silly feeling
And it hasn't gone away for years
I know I've gotta work on myself
If I'm ever gonna live for myself
I will get up
I'll try again
And I know I've got to improve
If I wanna be all good like you
I've gotta try
Try again
Because as long as I have Olive and a little bit of sanity
I figure I can live with such amazing friends, my family
Integrity isn't easy, not as easy as I was
I'm like a joke, a ghost, a specter
Like the great and powerful Oz
So give up, give in, give everything
Nothing matters in the end
I give up, I give in, take everything
Nothing matters in the end
I got my friends, my family, my cat, the studio
What else do I really need
Except for maybe some food and a bed
I know I've gotta work on myself
If I'm ever gonna live for myself
I will get up
I'll try again
And I know I've got to improve
If I wanna be all good like you
I've gotta try
Try again
I know I've gotta work on myself
If I'm ever gonna live for myself
I will get up
I'll try again
And I know I've got to improve
If I wanna be all good like you
I've gotta try
Try again

Hopeful Romantic

I don't know what to say
I'm shamed of my fears
I use them against me
And I don't blame you for doing the same
I'm a hopeful romantic
A willing brocomplice
Feel free to think of me
If it helps you feel more comfortably
About becoming yourself
Or pretending to be somebody else
You can do anything
I'm okay with sympathy
And I think that the future will be amazing
We've got all the abilities
Oh baby
Just maybe
I don't know what to say
I'm shamed of my fears
I use them against me
And I don't blame you for doing the same
I'm a hopeful romantic
A willing brocomplice
Feel free to think of me
If it helps you feel more comfortably because
I'm okay with sympathy
And I think that the future will be amazing
We've got all the abilities
Oh baby
Just maybe
Oh baby
Just maybe
Feel free to speak for me
Believe what you want to believe
And I don't blame you at all
No hard feelings
Only honest disappointment
In my self
In my self
In my self
In my self
But not anymore
But not anymore
But not anymore

Failure By Design
02:58
|

I asked if I could learn more
Fuel for the fire
More words on that page
Each a gift to be opened
Bring you more into focus
I could read up on you for days
But that would be creepy
So I'll sit and sew and sing
I'll write and I'll play my guitar
All while watching the tv
If I could afford drinks
Maybe you'd drink them with me
Then if I could afford anything
You'd be much easier to see
You said to come and jump into
Jump right into your arms
Since you're not super tall I thought
I'll give it my best shot
A decent effort
Since I wouldn't want to fall
No I wouldn't want to slip
Not at all
Too much future
Too many adventures
Too much failure
Not enough time
So much fortune
So many creation
So much pressure
Failure by design
I asked if I could learn more
I asked if I could learn more
Fuel for the fire
Fuel for the fire
More words on that page
More words all over that god damned page
Each a gift to be opened
Each a gift to be opened
Bring you more into focus
Bring you more into focus
I could read up on you for days
On you for days
Beautiful day
I would be all up on you for days
On you for days
Beautiful day
I would be all up on you for days

Stay Away From Me
01:54

Stay away from me
I'd rather be safe than sorry
Stay away from me
If I can smell your breath you might be deadly
I know you got a bunch of stuff to do
Sad and alone we'll make it through
So stay away from me
I wish that I could come and hang
Stay away from me
I miss my mom and I miss my friends
But these times they got real serious
and I hope it doesn't get the best of us
Please stay away from me
I'd rather be safe than sorry
Stay away from me
If I can smell your breath you might be deadly
You can do a bunch of stuff
As long as you don't do it close to others
Just stay away from me
I miss my mom and I miss my friends
Stay away from me
I hope that they don't end up dead
Stay away from me
I don't want anyone to die
Stay away from me
And we'll avoid the end of time

Conversation
02:03
|

|
Biting your tongue
The fastest attention spans will run
Right over flat tires without a patch
Not again
Lost energy to offend too
Keeping time through the mirror behind you
This conversation will probably end soon
We wouldn't be listening
If this wasn't happening
So barter for something to
Trade for admission
Let's hope this doesn't count
As an end or conclusion
Silence so predictable
Much like everyone else
Everyone but us
We should find more of us
Yelling from the heart
Filling blanks in with true compliments
Flying down the side of colors
That nobody's heard of
Smiling in the face of the wind
Losing track of why you ever worried
Trusting in yourself
And believing in all your friends
