I was the only one
who stood in your way.
I was the only thing
that never got away.
Waste away
hoping that you'd always be the same.
Waste away
hoping that you had changed.
I couldn't stop,
or see
where you were going.
But I couldn't bear to be the only
one alone.
Waste away
knowing that you'll always be the same.
Waste away.
Just waste away.

Same Time, Same Place

I could never figure out
what you wanted me to be.
Wear the same thing for a week.
I hope that you have tried your best.
I have never figured out
what you thought that I could be.
Marching past is such a thrill.
Same time,
same place
next week.
Ba ba da da da
I've said the same thing
about half a dozen times.
I hate to think that maybe
I've indulged myself.
That was then,
and this is now.
The day has past
you're wide awake.
Perk your ears
my brains grown thin
Take me down,
I've said my peace.
Ba ba da da da
I've said the same thing
about half a dozen times.
I hate to think that maybe
I've indulged myself.

Where You're Going

It's 2am and you're calling me to go for a drive.
Whatever, I can't sleep.
Take me to your high school to relive something
while we chain smoke cigarettes on the swings.
Stay there all night talking about our dreams neither of us put any effort into chasing.
I'm so done with this night,
I should have stayed at home.
I should have stayed at home.
5 hour round trips are the only thing that I even miss.
I still make them every week.
It's been my routine since 23.
It's so hard to quit when we spend every night on your porch.
I'll do it someday on my own, but now I need to stay home
I need to stay home.
So I can be as spineless as I can be.
So I can be alone and watch TV.
To be here is death.
I've taken all I've known
and buried it.
If time fades all the flaws,
I'm sure you'll
take it back
I'm sure you'll
find the truth.
Oh my god.
So I can be as spineless as I can be.
So I can be alone and watch TV.

Dream Alone

I could never be enough
to make you come back home.
You were everything.
Not even circling the Midwest
could keep my thoughts from swimming.
I'm almost sick of being on the road.
And now we're killing time with nothing left.
The trees behind are fading fast.
I'm only here to find the exit now.
There's a love that's far too gone.
And it tastes a lot like
fear.
You will dream alone.
You found nothing else.
This is where I'm finding out
I pulled you from the past.
You were everything.
If I see your face.
If I hear your voice.
You're in the right place.
If I barely sleep.
I'm sure that you'll understand.
I'm not myself yet.
The summer's dead,
not gone.
I carried the corpse back to
where it all began.
You dreamed
you heard my voice.
But I can't speak
at all.
I'll fade like all else.
I'll fade
like all else.
