You can kill the lights and shut the door
They'll still come
When you least expect them too
And you don't want any fun
So whats the point of staying in
Go out i hope your done
Its almost 7 and the streets are clear
Its almost 7 and theres still sun

Take a walk o

baaaa, ba dup ba (x4)

4 white doors bags have been packed
and we are, taking the words from our mouthes
this is another awning
this is another porch
its not a summer cottage
its not a winter home
so what are doing, miles from where we should be
you dont know whe

your waiting on the brick steps
of the library its 10 and the bus might be late
these tutor house remind you of pictures on, on your roomates wall
its too bad and its so sad that this trip
but in this way, but the food was good
you know you should
take a picture to rememb

i wanted to help
so i asked around
dont take it they'll know
dont take it they'll know
escorted by my peers
and the talk of the town
dont take it they'll know
dont take it they'll know
its nots the kind of news to give
lying down
dont take it they'll know<

I took a seat at the swim meet
whats a boy to do
get tired and restless
on the other hand is you
on a platform made of plastic
sunblock on your nose
campus by poolside
towels into rows

so your out like your parents who dont know
like your teachers at home

fixing your hair in a dull lit bathroom
the county fair it left too soon
and now you nights are cold and slow
the days just go
on and on and sometimes i miss you
but infamy infamy
you've got infamy and whats left
of all those empty threats
hold tight your and whe

cheer for the home team like its the fall
there's a scarf around your neck
the old bleachers your young teachers sit
in their earth tone pants
across the hall, across the feild
to your advances we wouldnt yeild
and whats the point of 7 months left in this brick building

thought on the corner the wind must be warmer
anywhere away from here
its hard to steer
both my hands are reaching the peir
i went out last night and im ready at 7am
remind me when
i have to be back at work again
give me 3 months i promise ill be succesfull there

you always said you'd hit the city
throw your coat over the chair
you dont care what you do
and i dont think you do too

the movie made you feel shitty
the car ride made you feel worse
i guess your lifes cursed
but it always seems that way

your sad and your lon

oh my dear what has happened to us
it's not clear and all i hear are
those buttons clicking and clacking
spelling outwards and what i'm lacking

it's some sense of purpose for you
fuck your stories i'm leaving it's true
all your prose all your one act songs
were neve

its a school night your smoking and looking rough
in 10 years time you say that you grew up tough
reading novels watching movies and speaking french
with your initials carved on an old park bench
when i go alone it goes all wrong
when i go alone it goes all wrong

it doe

over, under
rain and thunder
won't keep slowing fisherman
from trying to stay under
waves for days
for weeks
for eventually
the better part of your last year
at some old school in delaware

this may take a while
but please return our smile

when they ask about teh weather

you forged the trail
left a map
so i know where to go

we marched on through the wood
luckily your not scaring me OH

eric and ashley know your name
jill and scott know your wrong
when stacy and dan return we'll be damned
and thats the way to be

In novembe

i went walking through
i went walking through

the public gardens
the public gardens

or rather i should say

I cried while walking through the public gardens
cause i make things mean too much to me
and uh oh when i saw you there all you did was stare
and kiss

how could it be
you're stuck with me
and like the other
you get all busy
if I had known
the last train home
would not come soon
i'd run up stair
with one [?]
or hide in your room, your room

i's too late
i saw straight
into the future
and now,

i get the other sunday
i woke up early
went down to the record shop
you said hi
with the pencil i wrote a postcard
and i wrote about injustice
about cruelty
you know me
i'd rather mope around all day
then try and feel better
and let things go my way

when you're walking
through the city

of your mom
or the cars that ride past you
they look so pretty
but they never stop
there's no come

when i'm walking
through the city
i only think
of myself
or the girls that walk past me
they

sometimes i
turn in early
and sometimes i
stay out with my friends
it all depends
on the mood i am in
and it all depends on you

walking in these streets
it's the winter you were bored
you wrote your name in blue
outisde your neighbor's door
so wha

At the counter I dropped off
a piece of paper on the tablecloth of red gingham
my name and address was neatly pressed on the header

I was looking for a job
and when I found a job
I took it out on everyone I knew

Buttons on a lapel
an occasion I know too well
