"Right About Now"

"Right About Now"


Dedication, my occupation
What the fucking fuck am I thinking
Everyone’s drinking and I'm sinking
Counting 182 lights are blinking on the screen

No shit as a matter of fact
I wish I would've dropped out, wish I hadn't slacked
But I stayed in school with mediocre grades
While everybody else was out getting laid

Still at work on a Friday night
All my friends are getting fucked up right about now
Slamming beers down and starting fights
Everyone I know is getting fucked up right about now
Right about now
Right about now

Adulteration, it's an infliction
That’s what's at the bar, it’s what I’m missing
A new concoction won't get me hopping
But I’m here working so I can buy a new jet ski

No shit as a matter of fact
I wish I would've dropped out, wish I hadn't slacked
But I stayed in school, got married way too young
And when you get your jet ski can I come along?

Still at work on the Friday nights
All my friends are getting fucked up right about now
Slamming beers down and starting fights
Everyone I know is getting fucked up right about now
Right about now
Right about now

Still at work on the Friday nights
All my friends are getting fucked up right about now
Slamming beers down and starting fights
Everyone I know is getting fucked up right about now
Right about now
Right about now

"Running From Your Dad"

"Running From Your Dad"


Remember the summer time we were swinging
On the front porch out in the rain
It was Sunday you were all dressed up again
Then we made out under the window pain

[Chorus]
And I can still see your dad
Running after me with a shovel in his hand
I don't remember much after that
La la la la, la la la la, Oh oh oh oh...
La la la la, la la la la, Oh oh oh oh...

Remember on Christmas Eve you were crying
I guess you didn't really like the gifts
Porno DVDs and see thru under wear
I should have saved all that for your sis

[Chorus]

So I guess I'll just run away, run away, run away
He's starting to catch up
Run away, run away
I think I might throw up
Run away, run away

[Chorus]

"S-S-S-Saturday"

"S-S-S-Saturday"


Saturday Night
Saturday Night

Punch the clock
Right on time
Think I'm gonna lose my mind
5 o'clock seems like it's a lifetime away

Hate my boss
Hate this place
Wanna shove it in his face
He doesn't know his wife is texting me every day

But I see
The weekend right in front of me

I wish every night was Saturday night
I wish every night was Saturday night
Here's to hoping Monday never comes
S-S-S-Saturday Night

Saturday Night

Half past six
Hit the town
Taking shots and buying rounds
Ozzy's on the jukebox riding Crazy Trains

Love my friends
Love this bar
The bouncer looks like Ringo Starr
So many girls that my neck hurts, have I gone insane?

And I see
The weekend right in front of me

I wish every night was Saturday night
I wish every night was Saturday night
Here's to hoping Monday never comes
S-S-S-Saturday Night

I wish every night was Saturday night
I wish every night was Saturday night
Here's to hoping Monday never comes
S-S-S-Saturday Night

This taxi cab
It really ain't so bad
As I lean out the window I say
S-S-S-Saturday

I wish every night was Saturday night
I wish every night was Saturday night
I wish every night was Saturday night
I wish every night was Saturday night
I wish every night was Saturday night
I wish every night was Saturday night
Here's to hoping Monday never comes
S-S-S-Saturday Night

I wish every night was Saturday night
I wish every night was Saturday night
Here's to hoping Monday never comes
S-S-S-Saturday Night

Saturday Night
S-S-S-Saturday Night
Saturday Night

"Sad Sad Situation"

"Sad Sad Situation"


Alright, this is sad sad situation
One, two, three

Hitched a ride, I was so messed up
But I sure was glad to meet ya
You took my heart like they towed my car
And they're both still broken down
But while it looked pretty good on paper
And I come to find out later
That you're insane

Turn me off
I've had enough
I'm better off without anyone
I was wrong
Maybe you should stay
Away (Away)

You came to stay cause they were painting your house
And you're still here six months later
You spent my money on God know's what
But it sure did cost a lot

Well it's a sad sad situation
Now I need a Goddamn vacation
Cause you're insane

Turn me off
I've had enough
I'm better off without anyone
I was wrong
Maybe you should stay
Away (Away)

I'm self-absorbed (He's self-absorbed)
And shallow too (He's shallow too)
And all I wanted was to
Sleep with you (Oh)

A basket case
With a pretty face
And I can't take this shit no more
Anymore

Turn me off
I've had enough
I'm better off without anyone
I was wrong
Maybe you should stay

Turn me off
I've had enough
I'm better off without anyone
I was wrong
Maybe you should stay
Away (Away)
Away (Away)
Away (Away)

"Sandwich"

"Sandwich"


Sometimes I lose control and I don't seem to care,
It's time to light this candle and get the blank out of here.

This is the last song that I write
(the last song of ours)
It's been a year now and I know
(now I know we're)
I have got to get away
(got to get away from here)
Going to the place I know
(the upper atmosphere)

Out in the dark I found a place
(I have finally found a place)
Where I can think of myself and not your stupid face

In all that I can reason why
(in all that I can reason why)
Why they said no woman no cry
(no woman no cry)

It's a paradox and
you lose control and
you gain control but
I don't care

It's a pardox and
you lose control and
you gain control but
I don't really care

Get the blank out of here
It's time to light this candle and get the blank out of here

This is the last song that I write
(the last song of ours)
'Cause I'm leaving this world
(just like many others)
So when you find that I'm gone
(you'll know it's time to get gone)
Just accustomed to the stars
(the constellations which you are)

It's a paradox and
you lose control and
you gain control but
I don't care

It's a paradox and
you lose control and
you gain control but
I don't really care

Get the blank out of here
It's time to light this candle and get the blank out of here

It's time to light this candle and get the fuck out of here

"Scaring Myself"

"Scaring Myself"


She slams the front door
Cuz she knows that I can't stand it
Gives me the finger
Cuz she knows I'm wrapped around it.
She calls me sweetheart
Cuz she knows it makes me weak.
She stepped in dog pooh
And I'm still kissing her feet.

Can you believe how this girl
Treats me like a king?

[Chorus:]
She took more than she gave to me
I gave my love, I got an STD
And if she comes home,
I hope that she'll marry me.
I want to tell her that it's over now
Hey look, I'm arguing with myself
I think that my girlfriend
Is bad for my mental health
And now I'm scaring myself.

The roller coaster makes me sick and she knows it.
That's why she always insists that I go on it
She told my friends that I need therapy
I need a self-help group or a lobotomy

Can you believe how this girl
Treats me like a king?

[Chorus]

I'm waking up
I'm getting out.

[Chorus]

"Scope"

"Scope"


I don’t know
when it all began to simmer down. Suddenly I don’t
want you around
And I’m sitting here
I’m drowning in the worries and the fear
And now I wish it wasn’t quite as clear.

Cause I am starting to forget now
It disappears so fast
I am waiting for “the Question” to be asked.
And if you saw me now
you’d not be disappointed
somehow I’ve gotten to a point
and I’m not ever coming back
my minds made up I’m staying for as long as it has taken

(to get)
Close to you, I wanna get, Close to you and
I need more time, (I wanna get)
Close to you, I just want, Close to you and
I’m not sure why!

Sometimes I
I get up in the morning so surprised.
It takes me some time to realize
Lately I,
Have really wished that you were still around.
Here to pick me up off of the ground.

"Self-Centered"

"Self-Centered"


I got it stuck in a bind
I don't even know why
It sucks to even try
But I won't try anymore

She took the afternoon train
To find a different plane
But life down the drain
Better than being ignored

[Pre Chorus:]
I think I'm taking a vacation now
I'm on holiday and maybe I won't rest
Until I've thrown it all away
Yeah I've got it down

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna feel sorry for myself
I want to blame it on everyone else
I want to be self centered
And make everybody feel sorry for me

She sent a postcard again
She said she had a new friend
I hope that by the end
He throws her heart to the floor
She says he's really ok
I really hope that he's gay
It's not a nice thing to say
But I don't care anymore

[Bridge:]
My leg fell asleep
Cause you laid on it
There's no reason to dwell on it
It's just not worth it
Remember a year ago
When we played in the show
Now get outta my head

"She Doesn't Think That It's Ever Gonna Work Out"

"She Doesn't Think That It's Ever Gonna Work Out"


I've got a thing for a girl with a last name
That would make you laugh out loud if you heard it with the first
I'd like to think that maybe sooner or later
That she would change her mind about thinking I'm the worst

She said before that she don't like me this way
Cause I'm the guy that likes to stay too late
We shared a cab so we would not have to drive
So I'm responsible for her being alive

I try to hold her hand
She doesn't understand
Why I just won't give up
She tells me we're just friends
I say, "That all depends"
And then she gives me that look
Like she doesn't think that it's ever gonna work out

(1 2 3 4 5 6 7)

I lost my job because I've got a smart mouth
She works six days a week and has a nice house
I bought her flowers and the note said "Just cause"
I added words that may have made her throw up

I hope she'll come around
Who doesn't love the crown?
And have you ever seen my hair?
Maybe I text too much
I like to keep in touch
Is there an emoticon for despair?
She doesn't think that it's ever gonna work out

I try so hard to act like it's just fine the way it is
But for real, I wish that she would quit making me feel like shit
I love you, can't you see?
I know you're the one for me

I've got a thing for a girl with a last name
That would make you laugh out loud if you heard it with the first

I try to hold her hand
She doesn't understand
Why I just won't give up
She tells me we're just friends
I say, "That all depends"
And then she gives me that look
Like she doesn't think that it's ever gonna work out
She doesn't think that it's ever gonna work out
She doesn't think that it's ever gonna work out

"She Used To Be Mine"

"She Used To Be Mine"


She used to kiss me every morning
She used to laugh at my jokes
She used to sit across the table at the Sweetwater tavern
Drinking rum and cokes
I used to put my hands on her
But not like Prince in Purple Rain
I used to tell her that I really like crazy
She responded by being insane

I gave her all my time
She used to blow my mind
I used to make her cry
And she used to be mine

She took the pickles off my burger
And fed me fries while I drove
I used to ask her if I could do her front in the shower
She would laugh and say, 'No.'
We used to go to bed early (We used to go to bed at 10)
And do all of the things (Do all of the things)
I used to go with her to yoga
Cause it made her wanna do more things (Like downward dog)

I gave her all my time
She used to blow my mind
I used to make her cry
And she used to be mine

I can't help but wonder what could've been
(What could've, what, what could've)
I had a dream she came back and we tried it all again
And even in my sleep I still fuck it up
(Fuck, fuck, fuck it, fuck, fuck, fuck it up)
And even in my sleep I still wanna do most of her friends

She used to kiss me every morning
She used to come to my shows
We used to hang out at the Hickory Tree tavern
An hour after it closed

I should've given more of my time
She still blows my mind
She still makes me cry
And she used to be mine
