Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
I've been staring at your shoes all night
thinking how did you walk through my life
without me ever knowing that
we both hate all the same things
and now I'm wondering where you will walk next
maybe to an apartment complex
in New Jersey or Tennesee
or somewhere else I never ever ever thought you'd be.
Or maybe you'll be right here,
or maybe you'll be right here,
or maybe you'll be right here
next to me watching bad TV
Intro
Verse
Resting on rooftops sneaking cigarettes from your mothers purse again
13 held such awkward days
Counting stars wishing one of them would fall on your house,
maybe then you'd have a story you're proud to tell
Chorus
Younger days, they seem so far away
But certain stories will bring me back to that familiar
pain Younger days, they seem miles and miles
away But certain faces will bring me back to that awful rotten place
I remember your mother having sex in her bedroom with her new lover
while we watched reruns of Pete and Pete
I left my innocence at your doorstep from that day on
the world was scary I didn't trust anyone or know anyone
Chorus
Younger days, they seem so far away
But certain stories will bring me back to that familiar
pain Younger days, they seem miles and miles
away But certain faces will bring me back to that fucking rotten place
Intro
Verse
Great escapes have made up a third of my time on this place
and most of it's a blur and now I'm falling out of love
with the idea that if you don't like it just run away
The phrase time and place seems so dumb
when my time and place changes every month
And now I'm feeling like my roots are showing
if I don't find dirt I'll just stop growing
Chorus
I've never really cared about solution or remedy
I'll take what I get and hope it don't upset me
Now I'm done feeling like this can't be wrong
I'm doing this to me but I hope that you come along
come along
come along
come along
End on
Intro
Verse
The lines are blurry they're hard to make out as a ?
and what's the hurry, and what's the importance in what makes me
Less of a man and more of a mystery
And why the hell do we let these things define how we talk to each other
We talk to each other
Chorus
These hands they are mine but I'm not quite sure what they're connected to
And these hands they are mine
These hands they are mine but I'm not quite sure what they're connected to
And these hands they are mine
Bridge
Under what rock did you find the nerve
to tell me what I think I just heard
If I came from your lover's womb, what colour would you paint my room?
Would you paint it pink or blue?
Chorus
These hands they are mine but I'm not quite sure what they're connected to
And these hands they are mine
These hands they are mine but I'm not quite sure what they're connected to
And these hands they are mine
End on

Verse
I think we've both a little scared
I think we may be unprepared
I think we're both a little unaware of our faults
and our strength to overcome them
Pre-chorus
We've been running the same speed around the track
But if you need to run ahead just drop back
I'll be happy to do just that
I'll be happy to do just that
Verse
I'm okay if you think you're not ready
I'm okay if you need the space you need
I'll be okay if you're okay
Can I still sleep over when your parents are gone?
Lonely, lonely nights keep on knocking me down
Lonely, lonely nights seem less and less since you've been around
It's cliché but we've got our whole lives to say goodbye to those
Lonely lonely nights
Pre-chorus
We've been running the same speed around the track
But if you need to run ahead just drop back
I'll be happy to do just that
I'll be happy to do just that
End on
Break away

Hey Michael could you help me better understand
your tendancy for dishonesty I've been looking for years on end
It's got me thinking maybe you've got a lot of hate in your guts
And maybe you find pleasure in being an asshole
Best of luck
Chorus
Break, break away it's time to break break away
Break, break away it's time to break break away
Verse
Self-worth is hard to find but never seen someone so quick to deny
Hating the mirror hating the thought of
looking inside
Chorus
Break, break away it's time to break break away
Break, break away it's time to break break away
Break, break away
Break, break away
Break, break away
Break, break away
Intro
Verse
I appreciate what you thought was a compliment
I hope you understand why I'm not smiling
We've never been close I've never told you how I feel
I'm not really sure why you think this needs fixing
Pre-chorus
Maybe you've been misinformed
Maybe you just had it easy
Pointing it out makes it seem like I've got a problem well I do
Chorus
A problem with you
A problem with you
A problem with you
A problem with you
End on
Anger ain't a big part of me but lately I've been feeling like
I wanna take a bat right to your skull
break your teeth and keep them in a box on my desk
so when I'm feeling sad I can count them and know
you're eating your food through a straw
