Music Over Girls

And I've known a girl like you before
She pulled sad words out of my mouth
But when my eyes close out the light
The vision of you is my first sight
Tie back the locks of silky hair
Remove the makeup from your eyes
Let me see that there's a real you beneath the carefree LA disguise
Why would you be anything but impossible to read
Why would you go out of your way to show attention to me
Why should I expect any of this is worth it
Why do I expect more from you
I only expect less
The crazy idea this song represents
Is the pattern of our relationships
We strive to learn from past mistakes
If only for our sanity's sake
Maybe it's not a pattern at all
But my type is just incompatible
So I yearn to make more of my life than simply searching for a wife
Music is the air hole poked in the box I'm sitting in
Music is a glass of water after an all night smoking binge
Music is the release when a girl I like raises doubt
Music is my only way out
Music is my only way out
Yeah
I've known a girl like you before
I won't let sad words slip from my mouth
I'll stop this while we're still good
Stripping your ability to try to opt out
I'll end this song on happy tones
Music is more to me than you'll know
Music is life
It keeps me going through good times and bad
And through all the lovers I'll have

The Breakup

There's a lot of things in this world that you fear
And some of those are words that I'm gonna say and you'll hear
Tonight
Tonight
You dream in poetry
So let me change this prose
Thou shalt feel more complete
Whence this green poison packs up and goes tonight
Tonight
Clouds dance
Waves break
Sunsets
Sunrise
And please don't cry or else my eyes might do it too
I'm not prone to tears but I think it speaks to the extent to which I cared about
Please don't cry or else my eyes might do it too
I'm not prone to tears but I think it speaks to the extent to which I cared about you
This has gone on too long
I hope sleep finds me tonight
An unexplainable decline with the best girl of my life
And you ask where it went wrong
My truth won't satisfy you
Do I blame my mouth or my heart for not saying I love you too
Cars chase
Winds race
Birds wings take flight
Yeah
And please don't cry or else my eyes might do it too
I'm not prone to tears but I think it speaks to the extent to which I cared about
Please don't cry or else my eyes might do it too
I'm not prone to tears but I think it speaks to the extent to which I cared about you
But I've got to be strong
Rebounds are bound to fall through
Just know we'll always live on in the songs you inspired
And the things in this world that remind me of you
But I've got to be strong
Rebounds are bound to fall through
Just know we'll always live on in the songs you inspired
And the things in this world that remind me of you
And please don't cry or else my eyes might do it too
I'm not prone to tears but I think it speaks to the extent to which I care about
Please don't cry or else my eyes might do it too
I'm not prone to tears but I think it speaks to the extent to which I care about
Please don't cry or else my eyes might do it too
I'm not prone to tears but I think it speaks to the extent to which I care about you
Ooh

Girls' Name

Your hair is brown
Your eyes are green
Your beauty in this town
Is commonly seen
But if you look my way
I'll sing a song that'll make you stay
This means nothing to you
You're pretty
You know that's true
Despite your insecurity the love will come to you
I sing my highest note
Your head turns toward the stage
You dream a quick fantasy
That's the closest you'll get to me
But if you look my way
I'll sing a song that'll make you stay
This means nothing to you
You're pretty
You know that's true
Despite your insecurities the love will come to you
But don't you look my way
You'll waste a dream
A wasted dream on me
Don't don't you look my way
You'll waste a dream
One wasted dream on me
And this means nothing to you
You're pretty
You know that's true
Despite your insecurities the love will come to you
And this means nothing to you
You're pretty
You know that's true yeah
Despite your insecurities the love will come to you
The love will come to you
The love will come to you

Saying Goodbye Again
03:21

We said goodbye for a second time
But this time it might be for good
Snow Patrol escapes my open car door
I lost part of myself with a goodbye kiss where we stood
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
These lyrics are blasting from my radio
Yeah
We said goodbye for a second time
But this time it might be for good
Snow Patrol escapes my open car door
I lost part of myself with a goodbye kiss where we stood
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
These lyrics are blasting from my radio
And I'm sitting home only a few hundred miles away
I just can't stand it
You know I just can't stand it
What am I gonna do when a few thousand stand in my way
I just won't stand for it
You know I just won't stand for it
Let's dream of serendipity
And for the years to reunite us
And for our chemistry to stay
Yeah
I'm sitting home only a few hundred miles away
I just can't stand it
You know I just can't stand it
What am I gonna do when a few thousand stand in my way
I just won't stand for it
You know I just won't stand for it
I'm sitting home only a few hundred miles away
I just can't stand it
You know I just can't stand it
What am I gonna do when a few thousand stand in my way
I just won't stand for it
You know I just won't stand for it
No I won't stand for it
No I won't stand for it
We said goodbye for a second time
But this time it might be for good

I'm tired of these dead end flings
This LA dating scene don't mean a thing
I'm actually hearing potential in your voice
Holding your eyes
We said our goodbyes
And I thought about the taste of your lips on mine
And it's good that I'm nervous
It means that I want this
And I'm not gonna stray from this course
And it's clear I've got feelings
For this flattery I'm dealing
So just learn to like the nice guy and I'm yours
Tired of these dead end flings
This LA dating scene don't mean a thing
I'm seeing a girlfriend as I'm making you laugh
I'm holding your eyes
We said our goodbyes
And I thought about the feel of your body on mine
And it's good that I'm nervous
It means that I want this
And I'm not gonna stray from this course
And it's clear I've got feelings
For this flattery I'm dealing
So just learn to like the nice guy and I'm yours
And you're patient
And I'm nervous cuz I'm not seeing you that zealous
So I'll wait for the signs to show through
And I'll act like I'm not anxious
So you'll think maybe he doesn't want this
And you'll want what you can't have
And I'll have you
And it's good that I'm nervous
Cuz it means that I want this
And I'm not gonna stray from this course
And it's clear I've got feelings
For this flattery I'm dealing
So just learn to like the nice guy and I'm yours
And it's good that I'm nervous
(I'm nervous too)
It means that I want this
(I want this too)
And I'm not gonna stray from this course
And it's clear I've got feelings
(I'm appreciating)
For this flattery I'm dealing
(All the things you said to me)
So just learn to like the nice guy and I'm yours

The clouds are on fire
I watched it begin
No sign of a spark
They embered from within
Air recycles so we breathe it again
Catching sleep's harder to do than say
Plug your ears and let the music begin
When you wake it's a brand new day
One ten left to go
The east coast welcomes me home
Short term friends are made
I've got some of my own
One ten left to go
The east coast welcomes me home
Short term friends are made
I've got long term friends of my own
Rest comes easier now
Formations begin to burn
The world revolves below me
To leave me with memories
Put your favorite records on
And we'll scream the lyrics at the top of our lungs
Let's get high and catch a movie tonight
So we can laugh about it when we talk about it later
One ten left to go
The east coast welcomes me home
Short term friends are made
I've got some of my own
One ten left to go
The east coast welcomes me home
Short term friends are made
I've got long term friends of my own
Yeah
To all my friends that have been close to me
Where would our lives be without each other
Without each other
All my friends that have been close to me
Where would our lives be without each other
Without each other
And all my friends that have been close to me
Where would our lives be without each other
Without each other
All my friends where would our lives be
Where would our lives be
And her name was Sydney
I guess it still is
I like to call her heartbreak
What's love to mere kids
If you knew her you'd laugh
Hers was contagious
She'd say something in French
Or make fun of someone famous
She will make you happy to be right where you are
Even though she might have drunkenly wrecked your car
Oh Sydney where are you tonight
Just come with me
Let's be witness to the end of this
If I could find you I would keep you and never let you go
Times together would be the ones I'd miss
Oh Sydney if you only knew
I've wasted life writing about you
I'm starting to believe that you don't exist
Four score and seven years from now you'll be the one I miss
She will make you happy to be right where you are
While you lie together and fake the names of stars
That's constellations
Oh Sydney where are you tonight
Just come with me
Let's be witness to the end of this
If I could find you I would keep you and never let you go
Times together would be the ones I'd miss
No Sydney where are you tonight
Just come with me
Let's be witness to the end of this
If I could find you I would keep you and never let you go
Times together would be the ones I'd miss
No
No
No
No
You are the most gorgeous girl in the room
You smile when I tell you this
I haven't heard half the things you said
I'm lost in your eyes
They open wider when I say this
I haven't met a woman who steals my breath as you do
And I catch you looking at my lips
And you know the rest
You are the most gorgeous girl in the room
You smile when I tell you this
I haven't heard half the things you said
I'm lost in your eyes
They open wider when I say this
I haven't met a woman who steals my breath as you do
And I catch you looking at my lips
And you know the rest
You know the rest
The rest
