Like The Movies

I wish it were more like the movies
The life I’m living seems so boring
I used to be so naive that I
Thought it all would last

I wish I were more like the movies
Where the scripted me was a brilliant thing to meet
My friends would all be famous and I
Could fall asleep at night

I wish you more like the movies
‘Cause lately your bitter words don’t move me
I’m used to being lonely
So I can say things like that

I wish it were more
I wish I were more
I wish you were more
I wish we were more
I wish it were more
I wish I was more

Here's To Dreamin'

It’s a waste of time
Don’t spend your time on me

I wanna start over again
No, I mean really start over again

The new year’s so close I can taste it
Maybe this time I won’t waste it

Here’s to dreaming
I been scheming something grand
Here’s to dreaming
I won’t mess this up again

Drifting

When the night is ending
You and I are pretending
That this all makes sense
But this don’t make sense

Light bleeds in through the windshield
You forget how it feels
"Please can I have some more?"
You ask me in a slur

Calm now drifting as I drive you
To your apartment for the last time
You don’t even know
Sorry but I have to go
Before you take me with you

Two Oh One

Please would someone get me drunk
And could you do it quickly?
I’m quite attractive for a sinner
Maybe some fool here will pick me

And about the things I said
Yeah I meant them and I still do
We can talk about it when I’m dead
I’m sure it’ll happen
I just hope that it’s not soon

I know it’s late
But I need the money
And all the lost time
That you owe me

So please pretend
That you can stand me
Long enough to prove
I’m not the only one that’s lonely

Doesn’t anyone here have a clue?
Doesn’t anyone here have a heart?
Is this my fault or is it you?
Please promise not to tell me
Even if I ask you

Future

What the fuck were we thinking?
I guess it was age
We could blame it on the drugs
Yeah it's kinda nice, but it ends the same

You and me, the revolving doors
Elevators at your apartment
Where we would makeout
Just make other people nervous

What the fuck were we thinking?
I guess it was fate
Or just something that we made up
Yeah, just in case it could get us laid
We were terrible
But we were good at it, at it
Undeniable
So tell me what happened, happened

What the fuck were we thinking?
Our concience was missing
We used to be gods here
Now we’re 28 and no one listens

So to hell with the waiting
Yeah, what do they want
Us to pay for all our mistakes
And messed up shit we've done

Our former lives, a revolving door
Elevators in your apartment
Well could stay this way
Or we could move on

Present

She’s mixed up in drugs and all of that
Cool shit from the L.A. parties
Young love so numb “it’ll last forever"
No soul, we just want your body

The nights last a lifetime
If only you could see
That no one really matters here
But me

She cut it up with a credit card of mine
And I watched her, yeah I let her
Smiled sweet and passed a line to me
I said “no thanks”, she said “just leave"
I said, and she said
I said, and she said just leave

I messed up when I looked back
If it hurts, that’s good, keep going
Old habits burned into her skin now
“Tell me, is my breathing slowing?"

The nights won’t last a lifetime
If only you could see
That no one’s left to save you
But me

Past

We were young
We were foolish
No we didn’t care how much we owed
We grew up
And got famous
Or at least we got pretty close

Yeah our blood
Was still red
And our hearts were still useful
We could sleep
In our beds
Without pills or drinks or the rest of it

And oh my god
I miss it
Just a little bit
Just a little bit

We were cool
We looked good
Yeah, our friends still knew our names
We weren’t worried
About time then
Or running out it, or none of those things

Set our sights on
Easy days, like California
And its waves
‘Cause back then we
Weren’t drowning
And for the most part
We had everything

And oh my god
I miss it
Just a little bit
Just a little bit

Jack & Marla

These streets are wondering
Why I keep singing your name
My nerves aren't helping
This year's been strange

And I didn’t wanna say this out loud
But I think that I might need you
To take all the things I’ve said here
And drown them like they deserve

Kiss me
Like you do the other boys
Sweetly
I won’t say a word
Kill me
No I’m not being dramatic
I swear I’m perfectly fine

See you met me
At such at interesting time
Don’t take it personally
These words aren’t mine

And I didn’t wanna say this right now
But I can’t stand your need to
Point out the fact I’m losing my mind
Happens all the time

Kiss me
Like you do with the other boys
Sweetly
I won’t say a word
Kill me
No I’m not being dramatic
I swear I’m perfectly fine

No really, I really mean it this time
It’ll be alright
And you’re a vision
I made you with my own lie
In the neon light
So shut up about the nightmares
You don’t know me at all
I’m too lonely to not care
Please just make it stop

The November 6

When you dream
Tell me is it of me? 
And when you sing
Do you picture me in your mind? 
Or at least that one night
Where we were forever
Man, we thought we were clever
But little did we know
Sometimes you have to let things go
Even if you don’t want to
Even if I don’t want to

Defy

What is it about this place
that makes us turn to dust?

Is it the sad love songs
or the fools listening to them?

I've been trying
to make peace
with the way
the world works

The way the drunk girls get theirs
The way the empty cups
never fill again

The way the do-gooders bleed 
a little bit more than the others
And the crooks just get away with it all

Maybe it's the dust
I should be longing for
Trade my money and good-will
I want the damn dust

Give me the cool arms
of a kind cement

To rest my head
while I hum bullshit words
to the tune of bicycles
passing by

Cussing at the kids
Wishing I was one of them

Another generation of lifers
waiting for tomorrow to be
something better than
they were promised

All the while
Here I am
A question mark
on a sidewalk

Crying about the past
and how it called me names
And how I miss my parents
even though they're not gone

And how every time 
I sit in this room
or hear that song
I think of all the films
where the good guy dies

Eyes still open
with blood spitling
from his mouth
And it's beautiful
in black and white
but it still hurts
It still makes you wish
it all worked out a little different

So here's to us
The lost boys and lost girls
grasping at any and all
the gods will let us have

Jumping from the rooftops
And leaving our capes behind
Waiting for the day
We'll turn to dust
Or maybe not waiting
But, instead defying

The new holocausts and the end times
The pretty girls under dirty bar-lights
The calm and then storm
The lightning hitting me
with every single step I take
So often that I actually check my back
for a sign that says “Kick me”
Or maybe it says “Pick me”, I don’t know
I can hardly tell the difference these days

But I’m sick and tired
of feeling sorry for myself
So take this as warning or a promise
Or a fist fight waiting in the dark
I’ve done the time and lost my mind
Now all I need is a spark
And I’ll light this sucker
Bleed it dry, for all its soul is worth
And here we’ll stand, dust to dust
The last good fools on Earth

Proud and warm
In the glow of a thousand cities
we never knew
Happy and light
looking up at the sky
A few billion stars
staring right back at us
Just another thing we’ll defy
