Somewhere Without Me

You wanna be, somewhere without me
You wanna be, somewhere without me
We talk in my sleep all the time
Do you remember what you said to me last night?
I said I wanna be adored, but no one does it right
I said I can't keep waking up at night
When you wanna be somewhere without me
You wanna be somewhere without me
We used to talk all of the time
Do you remember what you said to me at night?
You said you wanna be adored I just canāt do it right
You said you can't keep waking up at night
Because you wanna be somewhere without me
You wanna be somewhere without me

If We Don't Speak

I still have dreams about it like Iāll never shake you off my skin
Do you have dreams about it? Where I kiss you hard and you let me in?
You know before you closed the door Iād wake up next to you
And when you looked at me I knew youād dreamed the same thing too
If we donāt speak
If we donāt speak
Do you still hear me?
Do you still hear me?
You know, I think itād pass by now
I spent a couple days drinking on the couch, thinking I could like somebody else
But I woke up again and I can never leave my room
And I can never be with you but youāre in my head
If we donāt speak
If we donāt speak
Do you still hear me?
Do you still hear me?

āAnd I was nothing more than a goddamn trendy-ass poserā
Itās like you said, itās all your head
Behind your bedroom door, I donāt know you anymore
You know the way
Itās like I told you, itās like Iāve known you all along
Behind your bedroom door, you donāt care much anymore
You know the way, back home
In the dark I said my goodbyes, and hoped itās not the last time
Everytime I kiss you goodbye, you say itās not the last time
Everytime I kiss you goodbye
Everytime I kiss you goodbye,
Everytime I kiss you goodbye
You say itās not the last time

Iām your...
Never finished reading the book
You said we were just like them
And I canāt
I heard they never end up together, and Iām not ready for that yet.
I think of us laying in your bed
I read outloud the things they said
It felt like me and you, it was always me and you
You know Iām yours
And I know because you always let it show
When itās just me and you
When itās only me and you
But you sleep so very far away
And I think up all the things you say
When itās just you and her
When itās only you and her
Your my Robert, Iām your Patti
Iām your always, Iām your nothing
Iām your sometimes when you need me
Iām your always and Iāll always be
Your my favorite, like I told you
Months ago when we still talked on the phone
And Iāve been here for a while
If itās done then I wish youād let me know
Your my Robert, Iām your Patti
Iām your always, Iām your nothing
Iām your sometimes when you need me
Iām your always and Iāll always be...

I Just Can't Feel It
02:51

a song for Dan and Janie
I tried to go out every night
I feel alone but itās alright
I tell myself again at night
I just donāt feel it when Iām on the outside looking in at them
And I donāt know why I canāt feel it when Iām on the outside looking it at them
I know the things it takes to sleep
Two of each until itās three
Two to one itās back to me
I just donāt feel it when Iām on the outside looking in at them
And I donāt know why I canāt feel it when Iām on the outside looking in at them without you
My gums are bleeding
My heart is reeling
My brain is on my bodyās dead
Turn me on again
I just donāt feel it when Iām on the outside looking in at them
And I donāt know why I canāt feel it when Iām on the outside looking in at them without you
Without you.

Hooked, Glued, You
03:30
|

Weāre not close, we never were
In new pictures I donāt even know who you are
But the hook in my skin is still the one you put in
It doesnāt budge when you pull, away
You.
Weāre not close, we never were
I tell myself like I donāt know who you are
But the hook in my skin is still the one you put in
It doesnāt budge when you pull
Iāll drag steps behind, till the end of time
Iāll drag steps behind, till the end of time
Running further away from you
Running further from me too
Running further away from you
Running further from me too
But Iām glued, to you
Iām glued.

Depression
02:14
|

|
Itās 2 a.m. the rain starts again and youāve been sleeping alone for months on end
And you hate everything you used to like
Because āpeople are bullshit and so am Iā
And you have some friends but you hate them too
Because ānothing will ever compare to youā
But you never cared anyway, I wonāt believe it why should they?
I wanna sleep all through the weeks until I wake up in your sheets
Like all of it was just a dream not the fucking nightmare that it seems
This time next year Iāll be okay, I can say to myself everyday
But every night I end alone without your warm voice on the phone
Is another night I drift away, further and further from you everyday
I tried to make it stay, but Iāll watch it die as the rain drips away
As the rain drips away
But I turn to a wreck mid week every time
And I spend days without you on my mind in my mind
But I turn to a wreck mid week every time
And I spend days without you on my mind
In my mind on my mind all the time it takes too much time
Too much time get it off my mind off my mind it takes too much time
Itās too much time get it off my mind off my mind it takes too much time
Too much time.

Twist me up again, tie the knots that live in
My stomachs torn cage, I want to escape
Never go back the way I came
I hate everything I say
[like] what you take from me
Iāll paint you a smile to take when you leave
For another new hook to hang your head
For another new look to take to your bed
While I say āwait for youā
Iām not waiting anymore
For something to look better in the light
The dark came and went
The sun is out again
But I canāt see you in this light, your my whole life
You take from me
Iāll paint you a smile to take when you leave
For another new hook to hang your head
For another new look to take to your bed
On the ride back home, you know what I dream of?
On the ride back home, you know what I dream of?
The way you twist me.

a song about N. Lombard St.
Itās been 600 days since I came over and said it was okay
And now just yesterday I cried so much I thought youād go away
In that basement room youāll never see how it used to be
And in this basement room youāll never see just what you mean to me
You were the best thing youāve always been
You were the best thing youāve always been
You were the best thing youāve always been
You were the best thing
You change your mind from time to time
You change your mind from time to time.

Sleeping Lessons
03:29

One whole shitty year without you, I still lay awake thinking about it
And I still hate the way it looks when I think about you
And how you used to love my body, how you used to love my head
And how I wonder if you think of me when I think of you and say
That āI donāt really like my body and I donāt really like my headā
And sometimes I hate you for leaving but most days I just miss being your friend.
You know Iāve changed a lot since we last talked and I learned how to sleep again
I went in circles in my car across the country to forget
I got your message on the east coast from your friend I really love
And I got angry instead of writing you to tell you how it felt
I came home and nothing changed
I still think about it everyday
I tried to talk to you about it but thought it was just too late to say
That I hope itās because youāll always love me
Because Iāll always love you too
And I just wanted you to know, Iām hung up on leaving you too/two
