Time goes so fast
02:54
|
|||
|
I had a base
with a young and hopeful face
and it felt so good to be
out on my own
away from my home
so fresh, so young
but time goes so fast
faster than you can run
or light coming from the sun
and it leaves you old and grey
stealin' all my days away from me
and never givin' em back
so don't go so fast
cause our beauty will fade
and so will the way
we once were able to move our legs
and our jokes will get bad
and well all get fat
oh no
don't go so fast
time goes so fast
faster than you can run
or light coming from the sun

I can't tell you
I don't remember
we had fun when we where together
baby it was summer
oh yeah it was the summer time
and I could tell
right from the get go
there was something else
I needed now I know
that I just can't do it
oh I just can't get in to it
now
In school they asked me
"what are you after?"
I just want
sunshine and laughter
and the love of a girl
oh the love of a good girl
the world will be just fine without my
two cents there are plenty of loud mouths
all with an opinion
oh they're all sure their opinions the right one
I can't tell you
I don't remember
we had fun when we where together
baby it was summer
oh yeah it was the summer time
and I could tell
right from the get go
there was something else
I needed now I know
that I just can't do it
oh I just can't get in to it
now
ah shit.

Asshat clock
02:09
|
|||
|
I took my clock outside
and it spilled it's guts
on my lawn
and I stayed there
amongst shattered gears
and broken numbers
until my skin turned red
and I realized I can't stop the sun
oh I can't even slow it down
So I took a walk
around my town
hoping to find you
I had to tell you
what you meant to me
and that your lovin
is all I need
but I knew my time had run out
cause you were no where
to be found

Labor day
04:08
|

The warm September air
blew waves of dark brown hair
across her face
and I couldn't help but notice
from across the deck
I was trying hard
not to stare but
she was the most beautiful girl
that I had ever seen
and she was lookin' at me
and I could not believe it
when our eyes met by the margarita machine
and she smiled at me
and I refilled my drink
and said "hello"
and we talked all night
while the party passed us by
and I worked up my nerve
but by the time we said goodnight
I hadn't made my move
and I was scared, I was gonna lose her
but I had one last trick up my sleeve
I chased her out to the street
said "girl you forgot your lighter, and can I have your number please?"
well she was the most beautiful girl
that I had ever seen
and now she's lovin' me
and my heart is hers to keep

Dinosaurs
03:12
|
|||
|
We move slow and steady
in no kind of hurry
baby, I'm just ready
I said "it's so loud"
you said "let's get out"
go back to my house
and up the stairs into my room
where I'll throw you down and
kiss your face
I want you so close to me
cause there is no other place where
I'd rather be than
where we lay
but in a few hours
you'll be four states away
from me
and the comfort and warmth
we found in a twin bed
with sheets full of dinosaurs
I said "don't go"
you said "babe, I've got to go."
ah, i know
I said "don't go"
you said "babe, I've got to..."
go.

Florida
04:06

girl life is strange
and it changes as often as the wind
and all good things must come to an end
and I would understand
if'n you don't feel the same
and I'd say the distance is to blame
girl your far away
and in your new life I have no place
your love for me was bound to change
unless I could grow my legs out
until with every step I'd cross a state
but I just can't stretch these tiny legs
So I'm headed back to Texas
the state that we called home
to start a new life on my own
and I'm carrying with me
a heart that now walks with a cane
oh Florida, I'll never think of you the same

Grab it
03:05
|
|||
|
Come on in to my room and she said
"this is wrong but I don't mind.
you know when love is close, you've got to grab it"
the rules are empty bottles by my bed
and I'm not afraid of smashing glass
when the feeling is right
girl let's let it happen
this could be something
this could be something
or this could be nothing
but right now it's just what I need
well I don't know much about life I said
but I'm learning as fast as I can
oh I'm ready to go
girl give me a chance
"move a little closer boy to me
I don't know that much myself
but I know when love is close,
You've got to grab it"
this could be something
"uh oh" this could be something
or this could be nothing
but right now it's just what I need

Miss you
04:17
|
|||
|
well I'd say
I'm in the right place
but something doesn't feel right
and I'm thinking
about as straight as
a winding road
and I know why
I miss your body
I miss your touch
I miss you warmth
girl I miss you
so much
and I know
that it's over
but don't expect me to be sober
yes, i'm drinking
way too much
I'm trying not think about how
I miss your eyes
I miss your lips
I miss your voice
girl I miss your kiss
I miss your body
I miss your touch
I miss you warmth
girl I miss you
I miss your eyes
I miss your lips
I miss you voice
oh I miss it
I miss your thoughts
I miss your words
I miss our plans
oh I miss them
I miss your body
I miss your touch
I miss your warmth
girl I miss you
so much

The beach
03:28
|
|||
|
Packin' the car
oh we are on our way
tacos and coffee
smiles on our face
there is nothing in our way
the Texas coast is ours today
the beach it is golden
warm and inviting
left all our troubles
miles behind us
the ocean is callin' us to play
the sunshine shinin' on our face
out in the ocean
after the sunset
drunken and fearless
gettin' our selves wet
the seaweed wraps our legs like snakes
as we watch the stars shine above the waves
later that evening
layin' our heads down
real warm and cozy
good friends all around
I am barely awake
visions of fun, sun, sand, and waves

Tomorrow
06:06
|
|||
|
tell me life isn't real
I'm lost in all that I feel
my eyes are strange
and I don't trust them
but tell me what then
can I trust in?
the city is overwhelming
but the country is just too boring for me
here is too close
there is too far
and nowhere feels right
I'm thinkin' too hard
I don't know where I'm goin
so I'll call you and if your home then
we'll snuggle up with a bottle
(of booze)
and I'll think about it
tomorrow
my body is tired
my mind is anxious
my hands are busy
my feet are restless
and something inside is
whisperin softly
the beach is out there
it's waiting for me
I don't know where I'm goin
so I'll call you and if your home then
we'll snuggle up with a bottle
(of booze)
and I'll think about it
tomorrow
