"Graduation Trip"

"Graduation Trip"


It was so long ago
That feels so strange to say
How does 18 years ago
Seem just like yesterday
A hundred kids from around the world
On a ship to the great unknown
Two boys for every girl
You had never been away from home
You were drinking something really green
Hopping around like a grasshopper
I was sipping diesel gasoline
Then I threw up on the mezzanine

I wonder if it ever crosses your mind
'Cause I'm afraid it's something I dwell on all of the time
I hear you're doing amazing, and
Believe me, that makes me smile
But I hope you think of me every once in a while

We watched the stars shine
Ate chicken by the slot machines
I was with a friend of mine
He got into your roommates' jeans
We danced to Aerosmith
And then we watched the sun appear
I took a bracelet from your wrist
You took an earring from my ear
You twisted one last twirl
Then kissed me so fucking hard
And all at once our friends would leave
Our hair tangled in the ocean breeze
You told me you loved me
I asked you if you were sure
You said you thought so
And then I said that I loved you too

I wonder if it ever crosses your mind
'Cause I'm afraid it's something I dwell on all of the time
I hear you're doing amazing, and
Believe me, that makes me smile
But I hope you think of me every once in a while

Georgia girl meets Texas boy
Place in time so far away
Like Leonardo Di Caprio
But our ship sank a different way
A lifetime in four short days
Said goodbye and we never looked back
A few letters always ended the same
I love you, did you know that?

I wonder if it ever crosses your mind
'Cause I'm afraid it's something I dwell on all of the time
I hear you're doing amazing, and
Believe me, that makes me smile
But I hope you think of me every once in a while

Yeah I hope you think of me every once in a while

"Greatest Day"

"Greatest Day"


[VERSE 1:]
I've got the keys to the car
I'm goin out on an afternoon vacation
They all know where I'm gonna go

[BRIDGE:]
The sun is shining down and
There is no one else around now
Wish you were here to hear me say
This is gonna be my greatest day

[CHORUS:]
How far would I go
How long would I stay
To see it all
To carry it all back with me again
How hard would I try
Just to hear everybody say
This is gonna be my greatest day

[VERSE 2:]
Standing here, looking out on the world
And for a second nobody is looking back at me
I never even notice where they go

"Guard My Heart"

"Guard My Heart"


Ask me a question
And I'll fill you full of lies
I know now the truth is bigger than my disguise
The message that I sent was shot down long ago
All I wanted was a simple yes but you said no

You can't see my point of view
You're too caught up in protecting you
I'll put on a smile and wait just like I often do
Then I'll make myself a promise too

I need correspondence
So please give me an answer do
Could you repeat that one more time so I believe it's true
I've got a unique talent for seeing things that other people can't
I know your heart is shot full of holes from mistakes made in the past

You can't see my point of view
You're too caught up in protecting you
I put on a smile and wait just like I often do
You say we're friends so I'll just guard my heart
If I don't you might tear me apart

Tear me apart
I know you don't believe it
But I could never do that to you
How I wish that you could see it all from the eyes I look through

But you can't see my point of view
You're too caught up in protecting you
I put on a smile and wait just like I often do
You say were friends so I'll just guard my heart
If I don't you might tear me apart

Tear me apart
Tear me apart
You can't see my point of view
(Tear me apart)
'Cus you're too caught up in protecting you
(Tear me apart)
I put on a smile and wait just like I often do
Then I'll make myself a promise too

"Hang On"

"Hang On"


I used to see you every morning
Even when I didn’t want to
You used to like to watch us play downtown
As long as I sang a song for you

[chorus]
But nothing stays the same
And it’s driving me insane
Oh, you know we’ve got it so bad
And nothing you can say
Can make me want to stay
But still your hanging on

You say you never saw this comin’
So why does it always fall on you
I think you call me every time you se a phone
You hang up but I know it’s you

"Hard Way"

"Hard Way"


I'm moving in
She's moving out to Los Angeles
She's got a truck; she's got my stuff
Packed into it
Just seven months
Was just enough
Of putting up with me
Imagine that
A baseball bat upside her TV

she says she needs some therapy

[Chorus:]
You know it seemed so simple before
She could have asked
I would have given her anything
And now it's 1, 2, 3
Blame it all on me
And I had to find it out the hard way

She calls me up
She's breaking down
In Los Angeles
She misses home
She's all alone
She can't handle it
But seven months was just enough
Of putting up with her
You're brand new nose & bigger boobs
Don't change a thing

You need some therapy
I think you need some help

[Chorus]

She's got a lot to figure out
She's got a lot to think about
She's got a lot to forget about
She's got a lot to live without
So many things to miss about me

[Chorus]

"Here's Your Freakin' Song"

"Here's Your Freakin' Song"


Baby, for years you’ve been saying “Why don’t you write me a song?”
And I’m like “I don’t know, I’m not inspired to write you a song.
But last night, I decided I’m gonna freakin’ do this”

We’ve been together for so long
And you always asked me why I never wrote a song
All about you, about our love,
And about how you’re the only one I’m thinking of.

I’ve been writing all night.
And I.
I got it just right!
Here we go!

[Chorus:]
You talk too much
You never shut up
Everything I do for you is never enough
You snore, you drool,
You talk in your sleep
Won't get a night's rest until you're six feet deep
I promised you forever
But we both know,
We're never gonna get along
You want it, you got it
Here's is your freakin’ song

And all my homies have always said,
What you doing with that girl? She’s fucked up in the head
My mom don’t like you, my dad don’t too.
And my brother says you look like guy from Hüsker Dü

I’m just keeping it real, this is
Just how I feel
Here we go

[Chorus]

I can talk and you get pissed
Used to dream I don't exist
I say yes, and you say no
Like any BITCH, you gotta' GO
With all the shit that we’ve been through,
This is the best that I can do
Can I still get lucky tonight?
Please?

Those are manners and everything,
I uh, I hope you like this song,
I spent a lot of time on it,
But I've spent...OH THERE'S ERIK
I'm just playing
I didn’t really spend a lot of time on it.
This is the chorus

[Chorus]

You want it you got it
Here's is your freaking song
[x6]

OK I don't know why this is still going
I anticipated this being...3 minutes long
It's still going here, I don't even know what's happening
Anyway that's this song I wrote for you..And Uh
OK. Evidently it's over now. I don't know
I have no idea on the timing of it and uh
Boy this is sort of an awkward moment here
I uh
I'm going to be honest, I have to pee
[Laughing]

"Hey Diane"

"Hey Diane"


It started with a song that almost didn't come to fruition
She's got a pink Volkswagen, and a husband that went to Princeton

She's not your normal mom
She likes to sing along
To punk rock songs

She doesn't sleep so good anymore, but she's still smiling
Her anxiety is a bitch, and there's no denying

That she's overwhelmed
Just not herself

Hey Diane, everything is gonna be just fine
You're gonna have an amazing life
I know you're gonna conquer the world
Hey Diane, you're a shooting star, a wish come true
And no matter what you do
I know you're gonna conquer the world, hey Diane

She's everything you'd imagine a good friend should be
She won my heart when she fixed the zipper on my Frank Turner hoodie

Sometimes she feels so sad
I tell her, "It's not so bad."

Hey Diane, everything is gonna be just fine
You're gonna have an amazing life
I know you're gonna conquer the world
Hey Diane, you're a shooting star, a wish come true
And no matter what you do
I know you're gonna conquer the world, hey Diane

Sometimes the future's so uncertain
Like it was when we first met
Who knows what's behind the curtain
Everybody's got regrets
And I don't know what I'd do without you
You can always count on me
I'm on your side
For the rest of our lives

Hey Diane, everything is gonna be just fine
You're gonna have an amazing life
I know you're gonna conquer the world
Hey Diane, you're a shooting star, a wish come true
And no matter what you do
I know you're gonna conquer the world

Hey Diane, everything is gonna be just fine
You're gonna have an amazing life
I know you're gonna conquer the world
Hey Diane, you're a shooting star, a wish come true
And no matter what you do
I know you're gonna conquer the world, hey Diane

"Hey Jealousy"

"Hey Jealousy"


Tell me, do you think it'd be alright
If I could just crash here tonight?
You can see I'm in no shape for driving
And anyway I've got no place to go

And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone

Tomorrow we can travel around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place

Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy

And you can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
And if you don't expect too much from me
You might not be let down

Cause all I really want is to be with you
Feeling like I matter too
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you

Tomorrow we can travel around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place

Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy

Tell me, do you think it'd be alright
If I could just crash here tonight?
You can see I'm in no shape for driving
And anyway I've got no place to go

And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone

Tomorrow we can travel around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place

Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy

She took my heart
Well there's only one thing I couldn't start

"High School Never Ends"

"High School Never Ends"


Four years you think for sure
That's all you've got to endure
All the total dicks
All the stuck up chicks
So superficial, so immature
Then when you graduate
You take a look around and you say HEY WAIT
This is the same as where I just came from
I thought it was over
Aw that's just great

The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex
Who's got the money, who gets the honeys
Who's kinda cute and who's just a mess
And you still don't have the right look
And you don't have the right friends
Nothing changes but the faces, the names, and the trends
High school never ends

Check out the popular kids
You'll never guess what Jessica did
How did Mary Kate lose all that weight
And Katie had a baby so I guess Tom's straight
And the only thing that matters
Is climbing up that social ladder
Still care about your hair and the car you drive
Doesn't matter if you're sixteen or thirty-five

Reese Witherspoon,
She's the prom queen
Bill Gates,
Captain of the chess team
Jack Black, the clown
Brad Pitt, the quarterback
I've seen it all before
I want my money back

The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex
Who's in the clubs and who's on the drugs
Who's throwing up before they digest
And you still don't have the right look
And you don't have the right friends
And you still listen to the same shit you did back then
High school never ends

High school never ends

The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex
Who's got the money, who gets the honeys
Who's kinda cute and who's just a mess
And I still don't have the right look
And I still have the same three friends
And I'm pretty much the same as I was back then
High school never ends

High school never ends

High school never ends

Here we go again
