Bless my soul, I can't believe it's almost December When did I last see you? I can't remember You might not remember me, but I remember you You might not remember me, but I... When I first saw you, you were all running around like sinners But that was nearly five years ago this past September Call my name, call my name just like you used to do You might not remember me, but I remember you And every afternoon right down to the first "I'll see you soon" We're throwing shadows back at the moon

Out of Time 03:11
I stayed up way too late, I was digging through the depths of my mind And oh, this boredom is swirling, it makes it hard for me to unwind But yesterday was fine... but now I'm running out of time Oh, I thought, just for a moment, that I was really gonna die, in my mind When I saw those around me welling up and starting to cry And oh, my throat is so dry.. and now I'm running out of time Oh, I got stuck in a dream. I was floating all around in the sky, in my mind I got thrust to the ground, and sucked into the back of your eyes Will I wake up tonight?... and now I'm running out of time Oh, I wish that I could remember the things you say I said last night, in my mind Oh, this frantic song with meaningless words that rhyme Like I ran a stop sign... and now I'm running out of time Oh, I stayed up way too late, I was digging through the depths of my mind Oh, this boredom swirling it makes it hard for me to unwind But I miss a friend of mine... and now I'm running out of time

Three Days 02:52
No telling where you have been I thought you may have gotten picked up by the cops again I'm caught in a traffic jam I'm caught in scenery and I don't even know where I am A traffic jam, yes sir, yes ma'am We never talk my friend I heard you may have got into with the Pops again But I'd drive the whole night through With all the great anticipation of the things we might do Me and you, all the things we'd do Remember all the trouble we used to get into And I might stay a while I might run fifteen miles Or I might stay at the house today And I wonder what you'd say If you had never seen me No telling where you've been I stayed up for three days before I slept again I tried to heal myself I tried to be myself and conceal myself Be myself and feel myself I went out one afternoon and I tried to see myself So I might stay a while And that might make you smile Tonight I may just take my shit and pack To never come back And then you'll never see me

Sandusky 02:12
I said some things I didn't mean One of them was goodbye I said goodbye for the last time I said goodbye. Got lost in Sandusky Took state route number four Cause it went right by my door Right by my door I may never get home again... A police man stopped me Had my headlights turned off He said get off of my road I had to find another way home I may never get home again...

Back Home 02:36
Stories like that make a boy stand up tall He thinks he knows it all Might think he's standing tall They make a boy just wanna stay inside Because he might be too afraid of what he sees outside He read to much into "the Truth" before he realized They were all lies But I guess that's what it takes When there's nothing left that you feel you haven't tried My books, they're all for looks I don't read many books And I don't like many books They rolled into my town And we watched them burn it down, all the seeds they'd sewn It may make a boy feel better burning off forgotten letters But I've changed my tone But I guess that's what it takes Run away from the mistakes that you made back home Where this place was just too bitter You have a world that's full of quitters No alarms, no cars, no phones And I'm still stuck in a place That I think that you've erased, how far we've grown

Scared 04:31
You sit at home, get drunk alone You sit at home, pass out alone A sharp tongued devil drawn up in drunkards clothes I lock shut every door as I watch them close, Lord knows But now from my clear field of sight I still just can't believe my eyes It felt like a ghost town, and I know why I'd grown so sick and tired inside I'd grown so sick and tired of my whole life Skin and bone and tattered clothes When we turned up at the water, all our fingers froze They all took off which way the wind blows But I laid back to feel it on my toes, Lord knows You might say I was a little bit under prepared To do that which I thought I never dared But I swear I'm not scared I'm not scared Oh, and we drive, we fly down southbound sixty-nine Driving fast, we're going ninety-five We'll get there before the sunlight Bust ass all day and drive all night Yeah, we drove to the dim glow of the street lights Gone for miles and miles and I'm so satisfied I'd grown so sick and tired of my old life... in style
7.
I don't want to make you run, but I feel you pull away Oh, I think about you all day And when the spring time comes and the weather gets more warm Let's take to the woods like a swarm There's not a cloud in these clear blue skies I see a new day rising in your eyes I don't want to make you run, I don't want to do you wrong Just want to sit on the floor and play you songs All knucked up in a corner, or all tucked up in your bed Don't want to let my lips leave your head I just want to stick you in my pocket and carry you around with me That way everywhere I go you'd be We're gonna travel to some places we haven't ever been sometime If you are feeling so inclined There's not a cloud in these clear blue skies I see a new day rising in your eyes
