I count the times you’ve let me down
Wind me up and watch my head spin around
I love to watch the news
Nothing compares to that type of abuse
So when I turn left and you turn right
I'll say the magic word and instigate another fight
I love to watch the news
Nothing compares to that type of abuse
If I say I’d pay I wouldn’t lie
Nearly any price for more certain of times
I love to watch the news
Nothing compares to that type of abuse
Spend my days alone in bed
Still hear that ringing in my head
That fight you’ll always lose

The world turns faster than I knew
Waters rose with the departure of the moon
The call came in early afternoon
My heart starts to race
The lights flicker in this room
Look through the lens
We use drives to centralize
I can't find the moon to align him in my sight
This reeling from the loss of planetary ties
Broke by days spent soaking in sunlight
He's reeling from the loss of planetary ties
Stare at the sun like staring in your eyes

Give me a shout, give me a call
Give me a buzz, any sign at all
Give me a yell, make me believe it's true
Give me a scream, I wanna know it's still you
"Hey buddy, just thought I'd give you a shout. Leaving work, um, if you get time call me, if not, I'll talk to you soon. I love you, man. Bye-Bye."
R.E.M. just makes me weep
And when I get to that stage of my sleep
They limit hours for visiting
Is it you that comes to visit me?
Give me a shout, give me a call
Give me a buzz, any sign at all
Give me a yell, make me believe it's true
Give me a scream, I wanna know it's still you
Give me a shout, give me a call
Give me a buzz, any sign at all
Give me a yell, make me believe it's true
Give me a scream, I wanna know it's still you

I like when you say that you like me best (likes me best)
You say that I’m better than all the rest (all the rest)
I like when you say that you like me best (likes me best)
You say that I’m better than all the rest (all the rest)
Baby I feel so depressed
I don’t trust them
I don’t trust you
Don’t trust myself I have no reason to
Project my shit out on all my friends
Then wonder what the hell got into them
You say its fine and everything’s okay
Just wait ’til you hear what I’m about to say
(Another situation) so exaggerated
(Another melodrama) that was overrated
And you laughed, “How’d you come up with that?”
Just wanted to say that I like you best (likes me best)
I like you better than all the rest (all the rest)
Just wanted to say that I like you best (likes me best)
I like you better than all the rest (all the rest)
Even if my heads a mess

Second shelf from the top
In that worn out shoe box
Secret secrets are no fun
Second shelf from the top
In that picture of all of us
Secret secrets are no fun
When you can't share with everyone
Second shelf from the top
Best enjoyed on the rocks
Secret secrets are so fun
Until you share them with everyone
Tough times falling asleep with the waning numbness in my feet
But I will always sleep without socks
Otherwise, I've been told, your feet are sure to fall off
Oh, but to wake in the light
Only to find that they went missing that night
One more thing, if you don't mind,
From a friend to a friend, don't let the bed bugs bite

I wanna live
The same life that you lived
Without a care
Exhale the smoke into the air
I'll buy a truck
Roll my windows down
Turn the music up
I love this song
Tap my hand on the wheel as I sing along
I know it's fine
These things work themselves out with time
But between you and me,
I'm not the one that I used to be
I wanna hunt
I wanna walk in the woods to track down my lunch
And have a son
Relax all day to our favorite re-runs
I know it's fine
These things work themselves out with time
But between you and me,
I'm not the one that I used to be
I know it's fine
These things work themselves out with time
But between you and me,
I'm not the one that I used to be

Found a ninja star
In the glove box of Dad’s car
Summer’s here at last
I found his name in the underpass
No matter what they say
It’s not just another day
I set it down for a second
And I never should have looked away
If I’d read all the fine print
Still want to know what it meant
Reject the life of the other adults
I found out who I'm up against
Have you found yourself a wife?
I thought life is what you make it
You should buy yourself a house
I don’t know if I could take it
You could work that job for the rest of your life
Waiting for the same old paycheck
Things ain’t fair and that’s just life
I can’t help but want to end it
I set it down for a second
And I never should have looked away
I set it down for a second
And I never should have looked away
Smell the fresh cut grass
Looked up at the comet, felt the chills roll down my back
