i took a drive across the country
to buy a beer in every city, and to slowly watch my bank account run out
but i could use a little time to be by myself
its the flat tire in texas
its the tacos we had for breakfast
its mother nature saying "you can't go south boys"
its the boat ride out in kansas
its not knowing what the plan is
its everything will be fine once we find the bar
and i pray to god its not too far
i lost my favorite hat in new mexico and i wish that you'd get off your phone
its the back of a truck in flagstaff
its the "please can i have my shorts back"
its the couch in every house that i've come to love
or its the deer that broke the headlight
its the 2 lane road we drove that night
its the flowers that we bought 5 mins before
or its the smell from the cooler we cant ignore
i lost my favorite hat in new mexico and i wish that you'd get off your phone
its the beer flight in chicago
its the night that we walked for miles after B got kicked out of the kitchen
or its the 15 dollar toll or the loss of self control
everyone has something to be proud of
its the hot sauce in the back and a baseball glove
its the broken backpack strap that ill get in union square
its the chicken wings in baltimore, its the hot and muggy air
its the sugar in my coffee, or its the blank and broken stares
its the time it takes from here to there
i lost my favorite hat in new mexico
but i like the in betweens
i like the thought of letting go
and i love the sound of silence that i found here on the road
and i still wish you'd get off your god damn phone

i got bigger boned and my dad got stoned
my mom got sick of the shit that I do at home
now i'm driving my car up the western coast to find a place to call my own
i'll sleep hard wood floors and get canker sores
in this goddamn city that i can't afford
and now im wondering where we go from here
now i'm drinking on my own
in a bar in san francisco
im not trying to be alone
ill take my time wherever we go
now im waking on my own
in my car in san francisco
im not trying to be alone no more
ill get a part time job, play apartment mom
ill keep doing what ive been doing all along
as i wish everyday this forsaken fog would swallow me up whole
my friends will get careers as i sit right here
and i write another song
as they wonder when the fuck ill move along
now i'm drinking on my own
in a bar in san francisco
im not trying to be alone
ill take my time wherever we go
now im waking on my own
in my car in san francisco
im not trying to be alone no more

whats your plan?
i got holes in all my pants and i dont care to fix them
whats your deal?
im just planning my next meal, i think i've got a coupon
what's your goal?
im just trying to not get old and make it to tomorrow
whats your aim?
i was never good with names so maybe I should start there
thanks for your concern. but i guess that i will never ever take the time to learn
ive got blood stains on my sheets from all my damn nose bleeds
but i just want you to notice me
use your head but its so big that its a threat to any family photo
dont forget that one day you will have to make a contribution
i think ill start a revolution
with me and all my friends
and if we get around to it well that just all depends
cause i think i need a nap and i think i need a beer
but maybe that could be my thing for next year
thanks for your concern. but i guess that i will never ever take the time to learn
cause i think i need a nap and i think i need a beer
but maybe that can be my thing for next year

i came back from the car, you had your hand on your heart
and you were talking to gawd
you said that this isn't you or what you normally do
dont worry we can go back to the start
i got picture of u on my wall, i put it up in the fall
you asked me when and where did I go wrong
i didn't notice at all
you came up with a story, you told me you were leaving
i didn't wanna hear it, you didn't have a reason
but you swore that it was not my fault
you ask me what im thinking.
i just wanna take us, i just wanna take this
ill take it back the
you made it out like a plan, i took it out of your hand
i never said it was smart
thought i did all that i can
i wish i could understand
don't worry we can go back to the start
i found a picture on my phone. it made me not feel alone
you found a new love to call your own, something I should't have known
you came up with a story, you told me you were leaving
i didn't wanna hear it, you didn't have a reason
but you swore that it was not my fault
you ask me what im thinking.
i just wanna take us, i just wanna take this
ill take it back the
you got a call from a friend to let em know how it went
you're tired of playing this part
you didn't want to pretend, its all the same in the end
don't worry we can go back to the start
you came up with a story, you told me you were leaving
i didn't wanna hear it, you didn't have a reason
but you swore that it was not my fault
you ask me what im thinking.
i just wanna take us, i just wanna take this

i was scared i'd get caught with contraband at the san diego airport
when all i wanted to do was get high in minnesota with my friend
there ain't nothing to do here, that's all i wanna do
why don't we just go outside and have a pbr or
5 whole days in the land of 10,000 lakes
the only place where i wish that it would rain all night
we'll stay inside, and try not to think about our busy live back in ca
they tried to warn us
but i promise ill be back one day
minnesota i got a good feeling that you will wait
i was scared i'd get a ticket for not wearing my seatbelt
cause your mom was speeding but the cop didn't do shit
then we made it to brainerd, and made some fishes brains hurt
we headed up north and went camping on the greatest lake of
5 whole days in the land of 10,000 lakes
the only place where i wish that it would rain all night
we'll stay inside, and try not to think about our busy live back in ca
they tried to warn us
but i promise ill be back one day

but im stirring up problems. i am making a scene
with my friends now. im so dead now

I thought that things were feeling good but nothings playing out like it should
oh no
I thought that I was having fun. but now im looking things are so fucked up
im tired of playing the nice guy, cause i've been playing him my whole life
i dont like the goodbyes

I saw you both on the way back home
from the girl's house trying not to look stoned
when i told you i needed to grab something quickly
before we all meet up and go to the party
but we both knew that I had lied
im so fucking high i think im gonna die
so ill go to my room suffer impending doom
as I try not to call my parents or friends
then ill ask them if i should go to the hospital or to bed
they'll say "come on clay, you're alright. just take a shower"
but my heart got louder
now im breathing loud as shit
and im trying not to cry
im so so sorry for freaking out, that one time i got way too high
then later on back at your house
your sisters in town and we're all on the couch
she passes the bong as I just play along
and i tell myself this time is different no doubt
then ill tell you "i gotta go"
to the bathroom once again
ill say "come on clay, you're alright. don't be a coward"
but my heart got louder
now im breathing loud as shit
and im trying not cry
im so so sorry for freaking out that one time i got way too high

berlin

i learn a language but say the same shit
ill tell you stories of different places
instant coffee and dirty laundry
and how the german gov took all my money
but if there's one thing that ill learn from over here
its that i'll be paying way too much when I go back home for beer
than in berlin
the smell of cigarettes, old lady german threats
i put my feet up on the seat oh how could I forget
crazy windows confusing doors
don't think they understand just what a handle is for
but if there's one thing that I'll regret from over here
its that time I let my hair grow out for the entire year that i was in berlin
so ill count all the looks i get just for the way i look
or the amount of books i read or the times misunderstood
or the days in a row where I haven't seen the sun
or the mistakes i've made but i've learned from every one here in berlin
my streets are dirty. my head is hurting
another tram ride at 7:30
i bought a coin purse and some hair ties
i don't want mayonnaise on my french fries
but if there's on thing that i'll learn from over here
its that i wont be afraid of anything I used to fear cause of berlin
so ill count all the looks i get just for the way i look
or the amount of books i read or the times misunderstood
or the days in a row where I haven't seen the sun
or the mistakes i've made but i've learned from every one here in berlin

something to say
03:42
|

|
im saving up all of my money
to get the fuck away from where I'm right now
and i hope that I'll be somewhere in the middle of america
when my car breaks down
i know i should have told you something
i just couldn't find the words back then for right now
i told myself that i stop drinking and i start thinking
of what comes out my mouth
i told you i was fine
what if i told you i was lying
ive got something to say to you
i never cared at all
i left it all and now im running
from everything i knew all too well
i had the chance to tell you something
i made the choice to keep it to myself
i could have never seen it coming
like 2 more shots
and now im blacked out (jk i drank spacers responsibly mom)
i called u up and i said nothing
i hung up now im talking to myself
i said that I was fine
what if i told you i was lying
ive got something to say to you
i never cared at all
its my red wine
its never having a valentine
its a ghost screaming irony right before your eyes
its my selfish thoughts that u feel the same
its your nasty remarks and the way you say my name
