Worry 03:29
notes of lavender around me, my bed still smells like you. i think i see you everywhere, and i hear you call my name. i haven't had to worry this much in a long time but now i've got this little earworm and it's you that's on my mind i got so used to doing my own thing, i got so used to being sad. now i've got myself a penpal, and a reason to be glad.
2.
i'm not afraid to admit, i was jealous a bit, that they got to be with you while i'm sitting alone. i'm not one to boast, we live on different coasts, but i hear your voice all the time, you live inside my mind. i don't wanna live forever, but if it's with you i just might. i'm looking forward to the day that i'll see you every night. while you're far away please don't forget me, and if you're here to stay don't forget me, i might not have a lot, but you are it all. i'll make it work now, jealous of it all. i'm not afraid to admit, i was jealous a bit, that they got to be with you while i'm sitting alone. writing in my room, sitting by the phone, i guess it took a bit, but i was jealous of it.
3.
you're impatient and i'm wasted and it means nothing to me. i quit my job i cut my hair i made the move i left my band i left my house i left you now i'm happy yes it's true now i'm happy that i'm blue doctor told me "we're going in" localized anesthesia remove the infection thought of you now i'm hurting can't sit for days now i'm happy that i'm blue now i'm happy that it's through yeah

Matheson Ave 04:31
wrap a string around my finger, to remind where you are. wrap a string around my finger, and i won't go far. two o'clock in the morning, but it's midnight there. i hear the voices swarming through the desert air. your voice cracks in and out of the telephone receiver, i can barely hear your words, but i need to feel nearer. two thousand miles away and the phone doesn't ring, i know that you're busy but me? i'm free. we suffer the distance, but we can't be apart. all i want you to know is you had my heart. and i look back at my home, and i know i'll miss it. i'll breathe the desert air and then we'll be kissing. falling down is always open, but falling out is not there. touching hands in the airport, people look but i don't care.
5.
no one lives here anymore, town decrepit, crumbs on the floor. cut another line of blow, "we'll be playing fucked up tonight" you fucked up my life no one likes it here anymore, drop out and fall to the floor. i moved out on my life, checked out and said goodbye. now i'm walking with tears in my eyes you fucked up my life would you hate us if they weren't whispering in your ear? "we're fine" you said. are we your favorite band?
