Calm Down

Are you sure you want to play it that way? I've seen the end of this one. I forgot what I wanted to say, and now I've lost my mind like... Now that I'm thinking it through, I don't think I'd want to stay even if you said you wanted me to. When I stop talking to you, it's still all I really want to do. It's not like you couldn't calm me down. So now I'm screaming out my stomach from a whole day's worth of holding it down. It's not like you couldn't calm me down. Are you sure that's how you want to begin? I've seen the end of this one. Turn your head at the drop of a pin, and now I've lost my mind like… Oh no, it happened again. They call me "GOOD OLD GONNA DIE HAPPY BUT ALONE IN THE END," so I give up and go out with my friends. We say our goodbyes. Strangely all the same. Can't say I'm surprised every time it unwinds, and in a year you won't remember my name. And I won't bother with assigning the blame, 'cause in a year you won't remember my name. It doesn't matter 'cause they all end the same, and in a year you won't remember my...

Take The Train With Me
01:56

Do me a favor , Won’t you please come and take the train with me
Cause I need you to help if the whole world just turns and throws me to my knees
And I don’t know if the walls are moving or if I’m spinning suddenly
But when I come to you’ll be the first smile that I see
You see these days they’re all the same in that I’m kind of not around
I’m always getting worse of course and you’re always feeling down
But I guess it’s really great cause we can both relate somehow
Do me a favor , Won’t you please come and take the train with me
Cause I need you to help if the whole world just turns and throws me to my knees
Well I’d go by myself if I didn’t need the help in some kind of emergency
But when I come to you’ll be the first smile that I see
I’ll count off each problem, you’ll be able to match them all
But instead of tears I’ll buy you beers and then we’ll have a ball
And if some night you drink too much I know a million doctors we can call
Do me a favor , Won’t you please come and take the train with me
Cause I need you to help if the whole world just turns and throws me to my knees
And I don’t know if the walls are moving or if I’m spinning suddently
But when I come to you’ll be telling the paramedics my identity
And if you take too much I’ll bring you down from all that awful anxiety
But with friends like you, a goddamn mess I’m proud to be

It was already one in the morning when she asked me could she be on my volleyball team. Didn't have the heart to say no. She was sitting at home feeling lonely and telling me all the things I could do with my time if I would only try. Well, I'm going to fire whoever's been writing this script and I'll be sure to hire you full time with a benefits package you'd be a fool to decline. Heading home on the highway, I noticed a sign said, "BEWARE: MOTORCYCLES ARE EVERYWHERE!" but there were none in sight. I try to make a living selling excuses. I've gone door to door. Now I'm ringing your bell, yeah, but nobody's home. Why can't I just tell you I'd like to lie and listen to Abbey Road with you sometime in the late afternoon when we're done with the day? Sometimes I let things slide. I'll wait here outside all night. It's all worked out till you pull up, then I'm lost in your headlights.

Bad Dreams
02:22

I got bad dreams of calling you. I wake up, it's like a punch in the face. I got bad dreams of calling you. Real bad dreams of calling you. Bad dreams of calling you tonight. Will she hang up or will she leave me hanging out to dry on the wall my head will be banging. Knock that goddamn phone right off the hook. In a vain attempt to secure my slumber, I reached in my pocket and tore up her number. But that’s no use; she’s listed in the book. She’s in the book for anyone. To call her now would surely seal my fate. I dream about impending doom. Throw a cell phone in my tomb. If she’s on the other line, then I can wait. I go to work tired. I go to bed scared. Nobody understands. My friends keep saying, "It could be worse! She's a lot cuter than Freddy Krueger!" I don’t want to hear their replies. I just want to open my eyes. I get drunk (keep text messaging the same girls). I get old (it’s not as cute as it was the first time). But it’s harder than you think it is to press send when there’s somebody on the other end.

Dream About You

I've got to tell you true
how much i think about you
and tonight its all i'll do
til the morning says its through
lie awake with one chance to dream about you
it keeps me up all through the night
thinking of how to treat you right
how to make that tender smile come to call
how would you feel in my embrace
i feel the softness of your face
when into tender sleep i finally fall
I've got to tell you true
how much i think about you
and tonight its all i'll do
til the morning says its through
lie awake with one chance to dream about you
why... must i wait til i can see you another night
i've never been a patient man
but understand i ask so little in this life
