verse 1:
freshman year
every single day I revolved around you
if only you knew
but what could I do?
you were my whole damn world
oh I couldn't see anything but you
pre-chorus:
you were the only thing I knew
chorus:
why don't you care about me?
you can't be half of someone's friend when you're their everything
you were everything
why don't you care about us
I trust you so damn much
but more and more I see
I'm nothing to you while you're everything to me
verse 2:
over here
oh, I could never get you to look my way
before you ran away
oh your new friends are just so f***ing cool that
they overrode everything we've been through
pre-chorus:
why did I love you for it still?
chorus
bridge:
so this one's for you
if you happen to be listening
if you remember that I'm here
it would be...new
I haven't been counting the days I haven't been friends with you
I've been too happy to
bridge (the remix):
I hate seeing you in the halls
it reminds me of a time when I thought it was a privilege
to let myself be forgotten by pretty girls
I hate seeing you in the halls x2
it reminds me of a time x2
I thought it was a privilege x2
to be forgotten by you, by you
I hate seeing you in the halls
it reminds me of a time when I thought it was a privilege
to let myself be forgotten by you
bridge (but sad this time):
why don't you care about me?
you can't do this (do this)
to me
chorus:
why don't you care about me?
you can't be half of someone's friend when you're their everything
you were everything
why don't you care about us
I trust you so damn much
but more and more I see
I'm nothing to you
I'm nothing to you
I'm nothing to you
but you were everything to me

verse 1:
could you stop being perfect
for a second
'cause I can't think bout anything else
I look like an idiot (idiot)
bursting out laughing just thinking bout one of your jokes
here I am writing love songs
for a girl
when she may never know that they're about her
chorus:
you are really one in eight billion
is it even human to be that gorgeous
I'll spend hours on my floor
just staring at the ceiling
if I can just think about you
verse 2:
could you stop being so sweet?
I don't think I can handle it, baby
I catch myself looking at you laugh
how do you give greasy hair class
you've wormed your way into my heart
I'll let you beat me at mario kart
oh can't you stay
for another hour
I just wanna be with you
chorus
bridge:
I know that this won't last
all these glances during class
you're beautiful but you don't feel the same
oh, baby girl
what do you say?
chorus x 2

intro:
I'm feeling so half-baked
it's just the icing on the cake
I'm doing fine, yeah I'm okay
then I remember
verse:
the days keep getting longer
I can only hope I'm getting stronger
the world looks different when you're lying upside down
oh how do we begin?
my so-well-built composure's decomposing
I'm back, back, but I don't wanna be
chorus:
I'm feeling so half-baked
and that's all I've gotta say
what's up girl, you wanna hang?
I'm just replaying all my mistakes, oh
I'm feeling so half-baked
I'm doing fine, yeah I'm okay
I've just been lying on the floor
for this whole f***ing day
this whole f***ing day
verse 2:
oh how did we get here?
I thought that it was still a brand new year
by now I think I've finally gone crazy
I'm constantly disassociating
drowning in my own expectations
I keep going
back to x5
over and over again
chorus
bridge:
oh I can't stand it
anymore
I think that my cat may never like me
my own dead body can't keep holding the door
it's time for that girl to be buried
break:
half-baked, oh I'm feeling so half-baked
it's all I've got to say
oh, I just can't stop feeling this way
no matter how hard I try
I just stay, stay
feeling so, feeling so
half-baked
{incomprehensible screaming}
half-baked

How to Kill a Rock

verse 1:
we're building palaces
of draining sand
on melting land
though the princess will never live to walk these halls
I'm building a cottage in the woods
as it's already burning down
if only the cause of our downfall didn't hold the crown
pre-chorus:
our elementary school blackboards will never be uncovered
they're buried in smog
chorus:
oh, how can we all be dying if I'm still alive right now?
how can you be so naive, you can't not believe the grave that you're digging yourself
how can we all be dying if I'm still alive right now?
how can you be so naive, you can't not believe the grave that you're digging
verse 2:
all the animals are dead
the sky's turned red
but it's fine, 'cause yesterday it snowed
and today's a tornado
if your neighborhood drowns, then just sell your home
we're paying for the replacement of
mass graves where rainforests used to stand
and yet we congratulate ourselves
for all of the damage we've done to this land
pre-chorus
chorus
bridge:
how are we supposed to live when there's incentive to kill?
our lives are in your hands
we'll never get to live the dream that you did
(we won't forget)
you're turning the heat up but we're the ones sweating
this is our burden to bear and you couldn't care less
this is your mess that we have to clean up
(we won't forget)
and you have the nerve to insist that it doesn't exist
'cause you don't have to face the consequences
you'll just leave us here screaming
screaming for you to do something
how can we all be dying if I'm still alive?
how can you all be dying if I expect you to survive?
chorus

chorus:
why does everyone wanna die?
why do I cry when I wake up?
oh, why does everyone wanna die?
oh, how come we're all so messed up?
oh why, oh why x7
verse 1:
I never know what to say anymore
all of these jokes have lost their meaning
oh, we're just kids
we don't know how else to cope
I saw you just before
but I'm wondering if we'll see each other tomorrow
(tomorrow)
why isn't it a guarantee?
chorus
verse 2:
I've been feeling like a failure lately
oh how am I supposed to get better
when we're all in this sinking ship together
it doesn't make it better
good company doesn't overrule the war
(the war)
why do we expect casualties?
chorus
bridge:
I can't feel, I can't feel anything
this spiral's just my daily routine
I don't know why I have to be like this
do I have to be me?
do we have to be?
chorus
outro:
it'll get better
it has to get better
let us get better
it'll get better
can I make it better
it'll get

verse 1:
you're top 100, you're the best of the best
thank god we all know, now you're beating on your chest
you only listen to rock 'n roll
I never would have guessed
I'm sorry I don't have a shrine
to every single rocker guy
pre-chorus:
tell me again that you're a songwriter
(I've never heard of her)
chorus:
but did you know that I'm a drummer?

REALLY F***ING COOL

right up in my face
pre-chorus
chorus
refrain
bridge:
won't you let me help ya?
I know you don't know what you are doing, baby
let me save ya
don't you know that you don't run this show
let me share my sacred expertise
from the way I pound my knees
you can feel
my authority
silly girl, hey
you know, you're pretty good
for a girl

verse 1:
I wanna take her out after school
can't get enough of that cherry berry shampoo

verse 1:
your lips slip into a grin
when my eyes are down and my face is red
and I don't know
how I stuck around this long
your words wrap around my neck
as I'm gasping for air, but
this is all I've ever known
when will you leave me alone
chorus:
the poison that you spoke is still running through my veins
but all it was to you was just another tuesday
and I haven't been missing you
you were never that cool anyways
I've been eating my lunch in the bathroom
just to not see your face
you'll never know how much I hate you
verse 2:
my scale is worn from daily visits
my obsession with the numbers
my obsession drives me mad
my skin won't see the light of day
I'll just stay rotting in my sweater
this is the only way
chorus
bridge:
the way you smugly lean against the cold brick wall
the way you talk to me like nothing even happened at all
and everyone loves you, you stay on top of their golden pedestal
but every time I see you
the wound just screams and burns some more
chorus

verse 1:
I opened up that box today
all the things I've stowed away
memories from way back when
all the morning rides to school
playground meetings, swimming pools
looking back on what we've been
pre-chorus:
when do you notice
that you're not on the party list?
when do you realize
you've fallen apart?
chorus:
birthday cards are breaking my heart
I used to let myself in
birthday cards are tearing me apart
you signed it with
"your best friend"
verse 2:
are you happy now
getting into trouble without me?
do you miss our sleepless nights
as much as I do?
making movies in the backyard
riding our bikes until the sun went down
now I find myself avoiding you
pre-chorus
chorus
bridge:
is it time
to say goodnight?
we've had our fun
the party's done
I guess you're done with me
is it time to forget sunshine and smiles
laughing for hours to heal all our trials
carving our names in the tree
by the walgreen's
I know it went downhill before the end
but when did we decided that we were
no longer friends?
chorus:
birthday cards are breaking my heart
I used to let myself in
your best friend
happy birthday, oh I wanted to say
(birthday cards are breaking my heart)
just how much you mean to me
(I used to let myself in)
happy birthday, oh I wanted to say
(birthday cards are tearing me apart)
just how much you mean to me
(you signed it with "your best friend")

verse 1:
we let the world pass by
it's just you and I here
our backpacks strewn on the ground
used to feel like forever
but in the newborn weather
we could stay here for hours
pre-chorus:
always jumping
but we never fall
the bus isn't coming
but I don't care at all
chorus:
I don't wanna go home
life is just too far below
I don't know what I'd do without you
so don't go
don't go x6
verse 2:
we're dancing in the road
pretending that we've never known
all the hurt that still
lurks behind these doors
why can't we stay here?
winter'll never come
if we live in our own atmosphere
pre-chorus
chorus
bridge:
you don't have to feel like
pain is your constant
'cause we've got something beautiful
right here, in wisconsin
that dark place that you harbor
is solely temporary
stay with me and I swear
it'll be a bit less scary
the sky's too goddamn blue
for me to lose you
chorus:
maybe we're our own home
after all, fluorescent lights have
never been comfortable
I don't know what you'd do without me
so I won't go
I won't go x4
so don't go, 'cause I won't go
I won't go x3
so don't go, 'cause I won't go
outro:
you can come home to me x3
