Recently I'\ve been thinking about those streets we'd drive down every Sunday/
The ones you thought had real cute names/
I remember Pecan Lane/
Find the time to organize the shelf out in the living room/
You decorate your space with knick-knacks and tattoos/
I never thought I'd be the last one to leave here/
Lost in the back room with the dust on my old band's gear/
Trip over disappointment as I make my way to the front door/
Tell you I love you like I have one million times before/
The more I drink the more I think the cigs I smoked at seventeen/
Are the root of all my dependencies and why you can't depend on me/
Last night we argued whether it was kam-oh-meal or kam-oh-mile tea/
This morning I brewed you a cup of chai so you wouldn't be mad at me/
I never thought I'd be the last one to leave here/
Lost in the back room with the dust on my old band's gear/
Trip over disappointment as I make my way to the front door/
Tell you I love you like I have one million times before/
I pack the last few of my things and take one final look around/
I ran my hands along the walls just before they crumbled down/
I put the final box in the truck just before you asked if I'm doing alright/
I said I would always be as long as I was by your side/

I Don't Know Yet

Even at the age of twenty-five/
I'm too scared to take the steps to better my life/
And nowwwwwww it's snowing and it's cold outside/
And the weight is pulling down the branches on the pines/
And I can't shake this feeling that I'm being left behind/
The leaves are swirling in the front yard/
As I watch you from the window step out of your car/
And IIIIII can feel the beating of my heart/
Quicken with your every pace until we're just a few steps apart/
But you showed me/
How to love again/
And you showed me/
How to love to be alive/
I'm finding it hard to forgive myself/
For all the times I put my best friends on the shelf/
And liiiieeed saying I didn't need their help/
Just another sad excuse to be by myself/
And I can't shake this feeling that I've been living in poor health/
But you showed me/
How to let people in/
And you showed me/
How to love again/
And you showed me/
How to love to be alive/

No Free Parking

You're out on the couch watching tv/
And I'm lying alone in bed just trying to get some sleep/
But it's not the constant noise that's been distracting me/
It's the fear of what I'll see inside of my dreams/
And it's not the cats jumping on and off of the bed/
It's the scrutiny of my past failures on repeat in my head/
And the fact that my mother called me on her lunch break again/
And how I'm scared to death that I'm hear only friend/
And it breaks my heart(x3)/
But you don't/
So let's get out of the house for an evening/
I can't drive but you can pick me/
Up at 203 South Elmwood Street/
Just call me when you get here cause there's no free parking/
Bricks in the sidewalk are constantly cracking/
And I can't dodge them all while I'm walking/
Cause I'm trying to grab my phone to pretend like I'm talking/
So the homeless man on street won't ask me for some change/
And I've been good all year I swear/
I'm just lacking the energy to pretend like I care/
But soon I'll be broke and unable to pay my rent/
And I'll be on the street with him just talking shit/
About the people who won't(x3)
Spare change
So let's get drunk in someone's unfinished basement/
Give our moods a temporary facelift/
In the morning we can sleep in then go out for coffee/
Just hope you brought your walking shoes cause there's no free parking/
There's no free parking(x3)
I don't want to be the one to tell you to go home/
So go head and stay the night and I will keep you warm/
Cause I can't stand the thought of sending you out into this world/
That's just gonna tear you down/
And swallow you whole/

The Big Goodbye

Jamie's working overnights stocking shelves/
At her local grocery store/
Making payments to the community college/
For classes she's taken before/
Back in high school she was a stunner/
All the boys would stop and stare in the halls/
Now she just prays for the days where she doesn't get anxious from unopened mail and missed calls/
Jordan's working dish-pit at the restaurant/
Just down the street from my apartment/
And every time I see him I ask if he's ever/
Thought of changing departments/
But he's says 'the pay's not bad/
And he's not really lookin' to upgrade his pad/
So why waste the time trying something new?"/
I don't want to be a bummer/
But I can't stomach another summer here/
So I'll work myself to the bone before I get gone/
Then I'll gather up everyone I've ever known/
For the big goodbye it's the big goodbye/
It's the big goodbye it's the big goodbye/
It's the big goodbye it's the big goodbye/
It's the big goodbye it's the big goodbye/
