Here I am in the middle of The A**hole of the Universe Some call it living, I call it dying Slowly And it's effortless Lonely in the desert Lonely in the night Hold me back and row me Across the Sound It's not what I wanted But it's all that I got I'm not gonna wait 'til I get old I shaved my hair just to grow it back (Just give it time) I needed something to look forward to (It's all I've got) When you find it, it just gets better Slowly And it's effortless Only in the desert Only in the night Hold me back and row me It's all so clear now I'd rather die free Than live in slavery I'll be free at last Make me, make me young Gotta get away I gotta get away Gotta get away I gotta get away What a s****y city what a s****y city Every city's s****y every city's s****y

Got my one way ticket I'll be going up in the sky So high Gonna fly up past the storm I can't wait to finally see the sun (I can't wait to finally see-) My sunshine My only The sun brings me back to life As I wander across the sea of clouds "Am I dreaming? Is this real?" I hope I stay up here forever (I can't wait to finally see-) My sunshine My only It's sunny everyday, you just have to look past the clouds

Good Times 02:53
I’m sorry ‘bout all the times we had Sometimes I wish we could go back (Hell no) Goodbye I’m going away To a better place I’ll be free at last Hey I hope you know what you’re doing to me Don’t take it out on me You know I’d stay all night (I hope…) And talk about our lives (…it’s not too late) You know I’d- I won’t come back I’ll never come back Here’s to all the good times I never had (Give me one more shot) Hey I hope you know what you’re doing to me Don’t take it out on me You know I’d stay all night (I hope…) And talk about our lives (…it’s not too early) You know I’d stay Stars in the night So far away Looks so good from here I don’t wanna stay

Why do you choose to ruin yourself? Why are you different from everyone else? Why so high yet so low? How do you even know? I'm the only one who knows You are you through high and low Just keep walking by and by Just can't leave take of and fly Never mind Don't try Never mind Just keep walking by He was wrong but your mistake Don't blame him what he didn't take You are young and self assured But shouldn't you have to get over yourself Why you are sad I don't know Followed you wherever you go I just stand watch you go by Why do I even try Never mind Don't try Never mind Just keep walking by Stay up at night one last time Trying to make sense of what you call I Settle down put paper to pen You sadden me again

Wifi Waves 02:34
I was late to the party I missed all the fun And now I sit here and wonder, “Where is everyone?” Lock the door shut the blinds Turn off the light Turn off your life The only window to the outside world Is my lighted screen So I’m goin’ surfin’ Wipeout the past I’m drowning Bury me under Wifi waves There goes a day There goes a night There goes a year There goes a life And when I saw the ocean I knew I'd finally made it It's been so long This is where I belong Goodbye Goin' surfin' Wipeout the past It was 25 Miles an hour In the summer In the sun I'm drowning bury me under I don't care anywhere but here You'll find me under the shiny Wifi waves

Nowhere 02:35
She wants a way out Been doing this for way too long She’s going nowhere Nowhere is better than here She sees him come in She screams, “I’ll kill you!!” As a plane draws a heart in the sky He’s got a way out Won’t have to put up no more He’s going nowhere There’s just one last thing to do He looks at here and He says, “I’m sorry” As a plane draws a heart in the sky She hops on the back Of his shiny motorbike He starts the engine They ride off into the sun She says it’s all good All good for now

Hey, I’m glad you stuck around I didn’t wanna sing this by myself Don’t worry ‘bout the lyrics You can forget about the melody Just pretend you know what you’re doing And hope the song ends I don’t care as long as it’s a duet The ending hasn’t been written yet We can fade out or end with a bang I don’t care The rhythm is never on time And there’s never any harmony I don’t care We can sing together forever Free at last

2010 02:50
My dad’s still stuck in ‘84 My grandma’s still stuck in ‘64 And then there’s me, stuck in 2010 Everything was right Two years went by And then two more What happened to all my time What a waste

California I miss the Land of the Setting Sun Californ-i-a I miss all the good times I never had When I die I wanna be buried Under the sun That shines so bright Even the dirtiest cars look shiny As they crawl home Before the stars are known California I miss being hugged by the ocean and the desert Californ-i-a Two ways to escape, only one way out I know you’ll be there Waiting for me California I’ll be coming soon Before the stars are known May all your dreams come true Or die like the setting sun
