Parksong 04:17
We could walk through the park You and I When it’s way after dark But that’s alright Cuz we’ll talk all about The way things used to be Or at least the way they seemed I’m so sick and tired of feeling old Three quarters of my left to unfold I wish I had a class to miss or wish I had a longer list of shit that I can do when I get older I remember stumbling through a field Carrying a 40 and another that’s still sealed And I hope that I don’t see you soon or maybe ever if that’s cool Don’t wanna hear whatever you would say If I could take all of the moments in time And have all of them trapped in my mind I’d just take out the ones that have you in them Over there by the fire Some friends of mine Known em all for a while I’ve watched em try To find out what to do With the rest of all their lives They’re as bad as you and I

Skydiving 03:40
What’s best in the long run? What’s better for this weekend? Did it beat out the last one? Least this time I’m not freaking out How does anyone have fun Without just non-stop drinking? I hate being in the sun But not as much as I hate thinking This life’s a parachute and I’ve been skydiving through But how ‘bout you? I always stand in the corner When I’m alone or with somebody Usually it’s the former Cuz I don’t talk to anybody I’m always staring at the sun At least when I’m not looking down I wake up to a loud buzz And go to sleep when there’s no one else around This life’s a parachute and I’ve been skydiving through But how ‘bout you?
3.
Ba da da Da da da da da Ba da da Da da da da da da I’ve made some friends and lost some too Looked stupid trying to act cool I hope they know I miss them all But I don’t think they would answer if I called Ba da da Da da da da da Ba da da Da da da da da da I’m not listening to I’m not listening to you I’m not listening to I’m not listening to you Ba da da Da da da da da Ba da da Da da da da da da I think your father hates my guts Honestly I don’t blame him much But if love is blind I don’t wanna see So I’ll tear out both my eyes so I can’t peek And it feels like we’ve been running for our lives And I hope that we can stay just for the night But if you just don’t wanna, I guess that that’s alright And I’m hoping that the future, it will look a little brighter Than it does right now Right now I’m not listening to I’m not listening to you I’m not listening to I’m not listening to you I’m not listening to I’m done talking shit with you

Anyways 02:41
Finally cleaning up Forced to look at who I was for the past month Turns out I don’t like him very much So sick and tired of waking up In a tomb I’ve built out of all of my stuff So I’m burning it all up I have no idea why I have so much Is that what you meant? No, don’t say that I’ve been doing this the wrong way I’ve had all my time spent on things that I won’t remember Anyways Got so sick and tired of waking up In a tomb I’ve built out of all of my stuff I wish this wasn’t how I was Spend all my time at work just to throw away more junk Is that what you meant? No, don’t say that I’ve been doing this the wrong way Doing my best not to choke On my own spit While you look the other way
5.
Why are you lonely? That’s what she asked me You’re so fucking lonely So why are you lonely? I always thought that I would break promises But I’d always love you You know that I’d love you So why don’t you want me? I thought you’d want me One day you’ll want me You’re all that I need Why are you lonely? That’s what she asked me You’re so fucking lonely So why are you lonely? So why don’t you want me? I thought you’d want me One day you’ll want me You’ll know what I mean

Boat Traffic 02:53
It’s half past noon but I just woke up I hit snooze when my phone buzzed Rolled out of bed and got coffee I got into my car and just drove it Past the boulevard road work On the 403, that sucks You can’t have fun in a traffic jam I tried, but I am just a man Something caught my eye on the water Floating, with no one around I guess I don’t need the ground There’s no carpool lane on the ocean Cuz I’ve been Waiting for you Waiting for you Waiting for you Bought a brand new navy blue jacket I got a hat that says captain Thought of a name for her after And I set sail away from all of my problems None of them really got solved cuz There was a lineup there too I Got bonked by someone else’s bow I don’t even know how I got stuck Held up in boat traffic Cuz I’ve been Waiting for you Waiting for you Waiting for you Cuz I’ve been Waiting for you Waiting for you Waiting for you
7.
Do my head in I won’t mind Just stop talking screaming all the time Cuz it’s all fine Drink away the day's what I prescribe some sunshine You cope, I choke On words that I meant to console Bury my nose Breathing in the dirt till I go cold in my mouth there are seeds of rose flowers bloom up from my tomb I hope As I try to leave behind something beautiful You’re just making sounds I’ve moved past it now You’re just making sounds That I don’t care about
8.
Yeah 06:27
If we swim through the ocean Then we’ll sink in the sand If you don’t move a move a muscle If you stay where you stand I don’t open the curtains And I don’t go outside We could fly to Hawaii But I’m afraid I would die In the end you’ll be alright Even if it takes some time And I wish I could say the same for me, but Even if it takes some time I hope that I’ll be alright And I wish I could say the same for you, but Yeah In the end you’ll be alright Even if it takes some time And I wish I could say the same for me, but Even if it takes some time I hope that I’ll be alright And I wish I could say the same for you, but Yeah Yeah If we stay where we are, we’ll sink where we stand There’s times I’ve been an asshole, I hope you’d understand That if we tried our best, we could remember everything But if we’re talking remakes, man I wouldn’t change a thing
9.
All this smiling through sighs I’m dressed to the nines in my seat And this suit’s so tight that I can’t breathe Keep telling me to smile, I didn’t know I wasn’t Stuck a toothpick in my lip and grimaced, Ain’t that funny? If nothing’s on your mind, think I could fit inside? If nothing’s on your mind, how could you think you’re right? I’ve got you to thank for all of my sores I just wanna watch the flowers decompose But you’ve made them out of plastic, cuz of course If you had me, would you like me more? Or would you just watch me smile till my face is sore?
10.
Pack up all your things Cuz we’re leaving today I’ll start cracking jokes We’ll get carried away Let’s make up brand new names And stick with the charade I don’t care where we go As long as it’s far away From here Or we could watch movies in your room And stay up till about 2 We’ll make some brand new plans As long as that sounds cool They say that you’ll regret the things you didn’t do But who the hell are they anyway, and is that true? Will we remember this when we’re old and grey? If I’m honest probably not, but I think that that’s okay with me Or we could watch movies in your room And stay up till about 2 We’ll make some brand new plans As long as that sounds cool
11.
Darling I don’t ever wanna say goodbye Cuz even when the sun don’t shine You could always change my mind So I gotta know So I gotta know So I gotta know If buildings they fall And new ones get built there When will the dust Find time to settle? To settle down It won’t settle down While you were too busy getting overdressed To realize I was easily impressed I’ve been trying fucking way too hard To only know the answer on the second guess I just gotta get away from you I don’t even know if that is true I got things I gotta say to you But I don’t ever wanna say them To you Darling I don’t ever wanna say goodbye Cuz even when the sun don’t shine You could always change my mind
12.
Let’s talk about it I swear I’ll talk about it too But there’s too many words That you fit too well into Let’s think about it You say you’ve gotta think this thing through I think about it And I only want to think about you And the way we laughed at nothing for hours Till we felt like fools I’ll catch you on the flip If you swear that you’ll catch me too I’m cursing every second that has ever dared to move too slow I hate the part of me that spends my summer nights thinking about snow I’m so confused, but I know you And you might be all that I know I’ll take a part of you with me for company Wherever I go
13.
BINGE! 02:21
You can do what you wanna do Well why the hell not? What’s stopping you? And whatever it is that you chose You can find a way that it will take a hold of you Cuz when you Go anywhere I’ll meet you there Cuz for you I just don’t care I’ll meet you there I’ll meet you there I’ll meet you Work hard Don’t think You’ll miss it all in just one blink Life’s hard Go Drink Get enough that you can’t think well Work hard Don’t think You’ll miss it all in just one blink yeah Life’s hard Go Drink Yeah Cuz when you Go anywhere I’ll meet you there
14.
Parachuting 02:42
All the kids in college towns throwing great big words around They hardly understand them so they don’t know what they’re talking about Just what they’re talking about And all the words that I wrote down, the ones that you’ve been hearing now I probably should have warned you that I don’t know what I’m talking about What I’ve been talking about This life’s a parachute and I’ve been skydiving through This life’s a parachute and I’ve been skydiving through I’m not listening to- I’m not listening to you I’ve been watching movies, I’ve been staying up till two This life’s a parachute and I’ve been skydiving through
15.
Be Yr Man 04:25
If on Friday I blackout Will you let me sleep on your couch? And if I can’t then could you call a taxi? I had the number but I threw it out I could take you out to a party If I knew where any of them were if there’s none we can throw our own And I’ll invite ya if I find the words And I could be your man And you could be mine too And I could be your man If that’s alright with you I was walking all around the town And on the streets where I grew up I found the setting of a couple stories About my friends and I losing touch And if there’s anyway to take me back Then I would pay about a thousand bucks I should probably have some more than that But I could pin it all down to luck And when I see your face I just don’t know We’re so out of place it probably shows And we’re all so disappointed with the way our lives turned out I’ve been feeling so confused thinking “what’s life about?” And I probably should’ve warned you that we’ve been staring at the page Where somebody wrote the answers but they’re bullshit anyway So let’s go Ba da dada da dada dada da da dada da da dada
