| The Swiss Army Romance | |||||||
| Sleep with all the lights on, you're not so happy, you're not secure. You're dying to look cute in your blue jeans But you're plastic just like everyone, you're just like everyone. And that face you paint is pressed, impressing most of us as permament. And I'd like to see you undone. College nights, draw the crowds, dorms unload and you're heading out. Here is your moment to shine Making up a history, it's nothing of the life you lead but man will they buy all your lines. Sleep with all the sheets off bearing your mattress bearing your soul And your trying to look smooth with your tatoos But your searching just like everyone, you could be anyone And those friends you have are the best impressing most of us as permanent But I'd like to see you undone. Youth's the most unfaithful mistress still we forge ahead to miss her Rushing our moment to shine Making up, a history, it's nothing of the life you lead But man will they buy all your lines. We're not 21, but the sooner we are the sooner the fun will begin. So get out your fake eyelashes and fake id's and real disaters ensue. It's cool to take these chances, it's cool to fake romances, and grow up fast, grow up fast, and grow up fast. |

| Turpentine Chaser | |||||||
| This paint has been tasting of lead and their chips will fall as they may But it's not just my finish that is peeling And it's not alone fleeing these walls Well sooner or later this cold its going to break so our hands will be warm again But all I want is not to need you now And sooner or later this code its gonna break and our words will be heard again But all I want are vows of silence now This turpentine chaser's got kick and the rag that its soaked in is rich The fumes aide the pace of my cleaning and as soon as I'm done I am gone Well sooner or later this cold, it's going to break so our hands will be warm again But all I want is not to need you now And sooner or later this code its gonna break and our words will be heard again But all I want are vows of silence now The frightening facts we've been facing our backs to for so long now Are begging for eyes to bear witness to lies and indifference Now we're saying aloud the things we've declared in our silence That new coats of paint will not reacquaint broken hearts to broken hearts |

| A Plain Morning | |||||||
| It's yet to be determined, but the air is thick And my hopes are feeling worn, I'm missin home And I'm glad you're not a part of this 'Cause there're parts of me that will be missed The phone is always dead to me So I can't tell you the temperature is dropping and it feels like... It's colder than it ought to be in March And I still got a day or two ahead of me 'Till I'll be headin home into your arms again And the people here are asking after you It doesn't make it easier, it doesn't make it easier to be away I'd like to hire a plane, I'd see you in the morning When the day is fresh I'm comin home again, comin home again, comin home again When the day is fresh I'm comin home again It's warmer where you're waitin, it feels more like July The pillows are in their cases and one of those is mine She wrote the words, "I love you," and sprayed it wiht perfume It's better than the fire is to heat this lonely room And it's warmer where you're waitin, it feels more like July It feels more like July |
