And I'm gonna get to
The bottom of this Gonna peel back my skin And look at myself shaking and shivering And I'll get the rope, from in the house Survey the scene, finding two of the tallest trees And I'm tying myself up, above the cool earth To dangle in the twilight (whoah) And I'm gonna get to The bottom of this Gonna peel back my skin And look at myself shaking and shivering And as my skin collects in a pile on the ground I'll radiate heat, and turn off my head And just pretend that I don't exist Then, I'll see clearly to the end Of the ropes that I've been hanging from (whoa, oh, oh) I say, loosen from the trees, I plummet to the ground Be impaled and turned around (turning right around) Finally free from the ups and downs And I'm gonna get to The bottom of this Gonna peel back my skin And look at myself shaking and shivering And I'm gonna get to The bottom of this Gonna peel back my skin And look at myself shaking and shivering |

There's a beautiful sky tonight and
if you were by my side then we could share it but you are gone. So come at me with your moon and burn me in the stars cause nothing matters anymore. If I could only see you now for about an hour maybe just a minute just to ask What has he got that I don't have? Is it his brown eyes? I know blue eyes get boring but I'll wear dark glasses all the time and hey if you want me to, I'll take a knife to my own bright eyes. If I could only see you now for about an hour maybe just a minute just to ask what has he got that I don't have? Is it his brown eyes? Well, I'll give you a thousand reasons that tonight you should grant me this one wish. Like the one year of my life that I gave to you and now you put me through hell. You break me up. I should hate you, but I can't replace you in my heart. Why am I so pathetic? I don't get it why you won't return my calls. Can't you look at me once? And please if you got a minute, enjoy this lonely sky with me. It'll swallow us whole if we only let it. If I could only see you now for about an hour maybe just a minute just to ask what has he got that I don't have? Is it his brown eyes? Well, I'll give a thousand reasons that tonight you should grant me this one wish. Like the one year of my life that I gave to you and now you put me through hell. You break me up. If this sky's going to eat us then I'd like to be digested into a million pieces with you. I'd love to be scattered to hell with you. To hell with you. |

If every limb were broken,
tires had all worn thin and my toes are all in pieces. Do you know what I would do? I would play can you drag yourself 200 miles with just your fingernails? A little game that I made up. Do you know that I never ever lose? There is nothing to keep me from coming back to you cause I can picture all the pictures of you and me on your walls. What would it take to make you mine forever? Just your fingernails, a little game that I made up. Do you know, that I never ever lose? Could I cut out my liver, make a special potion two parts my blood? Three parts my heart. Yeah, you know that I would do it in a second. With just my fingernails, a little game that I made up. Do you know that I never ever lose? With just my fingernails, a little game that I made up. Do you know that I never ever lose? Never lose. |

Your middle finger was clutching my thumb through the park
and over macdougal. The torches were blazing about our street and just down from the sky. Casey stepped with Anna off the curb. His shoes are clogs, did you see? They dipped in that puddle, the one catching green. They were tripping up and slipping around, singing 'Rolalita come out tonight' and oh I wanted to pull you down. roll on top of me, baby. just roll. we'll wreck our clothes. we'll scrape our knees. we'll taste the scabs. you, sweet, are worth these next four months until I bail out and kiss behind your ears, drive off in the van. oh my god, I think I'm dying in this car seat, where I'll spend through winter. |

Oh well, you've got me under your spell
and I don't think that I'm kidding around. I don't think I can forget you now. I once sat up on my roof and examined the planning of my town. I saw the structured grid and pavement cutting through grass and I remembered the cold of winter running up the legs of my pants. I picked the nicest lawn and imagined the two of us rolling around down along the ground. I saw myself touch your face and I noticed jets begin to race above our heads. But I pinched my arm and remembered how much you hate me. I remembered the fact that I can't see what you need and I'm too stupid to be aware of the beauty that you give this place and how shitty this town would seem without you in it. When you aren't around I let the shades fall down to shut out all the sun's light and make myself feel all right. What am I doing with my life? Remember that the only things we need sometimes are chilly nights and warmer thighs, 'cause there's nothing like being held. |

Don't you remember the last time we were speeding down this highway?
Anna slept in the back seat, dreaming in the autumn heat. We turned up the country radio. I said, "if you want me just say so." I slicked back my hair in the wind. I told you I didn't want my picture taken but you snapped it anyway. Now I guess you won't have trouble remembering me someday. So I floored it and swerved around the lanes. I kept wishing it were you instead of me behind the wheel so maybe with my camera I could steal a shot of you and go home to put it in my room. Maybe you'll never remember me. Maybe my face will lose these scars, 'cause sometimes they keep me home at night where I duck under the covers and wince when I see the light. |

Leif and I are on the train to New York in car 1399.
There's a guy with a quarter in his ear and I've seen Leif only once in the past two months. His hair is sticking up a little in the front. He's losing it just a bit. When I get home tonight I'll miss him in Hampshire. I'll miss his glasses and the way he writes in purple pen, the way his collar falls to the left. Have you seen his ankles lately? I know he's next to me. I feel his sweater here, but when I'm sleeping it's only green sheets and the hair down my legs. I think I'll write you, Leif, when I'm near Tuesday, sometime before you go and I'm back on the train. |

(I guess the only reality is the one you seem to believe in.
Well I'm walking out, this is the last time, I feel like shit. This isn't the way to treat old friends...) Let's go again Set me up Watch me stand on top of my old house Watch me spinning and watch me seeing the melon sky Oh, look it's so beautiful tonight But I was feeling so sweet I could barely breathe so deep But you had to come along You had to shatter everything Why'd you even fuck her in the first place? Friends don't mean a thing when you can actually feel the knife sticking in your spine For a second there I thought I was fine But oh, whatever I've tasted my own blood, and now every time you walk on by, I feel like spitting in your eye This is not the way I pictured getting hurt. |

I remember the time
When everything was all different We didn't really know each other then I didn't know how much you made me so I guess it was all pretend when You decided you're those all are different things. I don't think that it was all that bad. Especially that time in Princeton was nice. Then we pretend to be so close Now we wait Try not to be not so different Than we have in the past You made me so but I don't know To everything I'll hope again. I never wanna be not so here (x5) I never wanna be not so here again. |

You aren't the kind of person that I couldn't fall in love with, rather you are the kind of person that I could. And I'd like to spend an afternoon of laughing at ourselves, and hear all the wonderful things you might tell me. I'd watch your eyes gleam during that time of day when you can't really tell if it's day or night. I'd like to think of us in twelve years having a place and a daughter. I think she would look a lot like you. We'd be all the time smiling. Someone once asked me who I'd most like to be with. I said, "There's this really great gal that I'd like to hang out with sometime."

Playing shows and writing songs could've been much more than you can get out of sitting around and being unproductive. There's a lot more than being like the other kids. At least I have something to do with myself. Did you ever notice how sometimes you take for granted what you need, like having friends and good times and never losing touch? But I guess you found something else to hold on to, like a girl or money or being bitter to the end. I'd like to think of the days when we didn't have to, and everything that ever meant some to you? You only thought you had to circle so far, and then come back down to sacrifice this one last thing

I think you're a really neat person.
And I think I want to spend some more times with you, cause you aren't boring and your phone skills are really rad. You call me up again. I think I really like you. You're in my thoughts all the time. I remember what you look like. I can picture us walking hand in hand and side by side. Then I look into your grey-blue eyes. I like you an awful lot. |
