And I met her on the subway
I was headed west to Brooklyn
She lived in upper Manhattan
And I said
Hi I don’t know how many times
Some ones told you this today
But you quite nice
And she said thanks
But she gave me that smile
Like that pity smile
You get when you’ve just said something uncomfortable
I’m sorry if I’ve intruded on your day
Just making a point not to deny myself the finer things in life
And she said so you read john green
That was the start
And we went out
On the subway
On our first date
Going west to Brooklyn
But she lived in an apartment in upper Manhattan
And we went out
On the subway
On our first date
I remember the way her lips felt when she kissed me
She said she was gonna miss me
And so I asked
Hey would you like to see me next Saturday night
And I thought maybe she wouldn’t recognize me but id never forget her face
But there she was
At the door
In the coat from before
And I saw her and I remembered the way I felt
On out first date on the subway
I was headed west to Brooklyn
But she lived in an apartment in upper Manhattan
And it was so late
on the subway
And she said if I could
It would be so nice if I could see you later
And she said if I could
Could I get your number I’ll call you later
Would you like to go out for dinner
On the subway
I was heading west to Brooklyn
But she lived in an apartment in upper Manhattan
And she boarded the 7
Even though we both know
She wasn’t heading that way
She wasn’t heading my way
And I said hi do you wanna go outside
And she said
No I guess I’m fine here
I remember her grey coat
And every song I wrote
I hope she liked them
They were not that good
And every word I wrote I wrote for you
I hope you know I’m staying true
And I’ve been out a few times
With other “girls who liked guys”
But its just not the same
You’re just not the same
Girl you were on the subway
Just mess around, I guess
See how you feel
Come back to me in a few more years

The streets are all violent
with murderous excitement
The hunter and the prey are dancing everyday
That waltzing jibberish
where intake becomes outlandish
I'm in a bad way every passing day
"So where do we go from here" I'll say
you're a shining star, you'd do great in L.A.
and I keep fixing every habit that I break
Oh Megan, is this thing of ours still on?
for I haven't slept a wink since you have been gone
Now I want to be buried in your backyard
and when the flowers grow
just know you're still in my heart
You're still in my heart
A flash of dark interest steers us into this car crash
uniting our remains, a fiery hurray ...ay ay ay
Our hands touch unnoticed
pressed up against melting glass
You're calling out my name as the air escapes
Oh "Where do we go from here" I'll say
you're a shining star, you'd do great in L.A.
and I keep fixing every habit that I break
Oh Megan, is this thing of ours still on?
For I haven't slept a wink since you have been gone
Now I want to be buried in your backyard
and when the flowers grow
just know you're still in my heart
Oww..
"Where do we go from here" I'll say
you're a shining star, you'd do great in L.A.
and I keep fixing every habit that I break
Woo..
Oh Megan, is this thing of ours still on?
For I haven't slept a wink since you have been gone
Now I want to be buried in your backyard
and when the flowers grow
just know you're still in my heart
When the flowers grow
just know you're in my heart
When the flowers grow
just know you're still in my heart...

Protest Song

Here is to all the believers
Here is to the it-gets-betters
Here is to the liars and the cheaters and the non-believers
Here is to the cutters and the suicidal hard times
Here's to the free rides here's to the past
CHORUS:
Capitalist junkies, consumerism's in the lead
Bigots spitting shit from both ends
Don't get me started on politicians
Nothing is ever "free" good things won't come easy
Maybe non-believers are right x2
Here's to the easy outs
Here's to the loop holes
Here's to the clichés and "you can have it your ways"
Here's to "I'm Lovin It"
Here's "Do you want fries with that?"
Here's to "SUPERSIZE ME"
Here's to refreshments
Here's to the bullshit
The media lives off it
I've got some advice-
Eat local be nice
Not everything is going to shit
CHORUS:
Capitalist junkies, consumerism's in the lead
Bigots spitting shit from both ends
Don't get me started on politicians
Nothing is ever "free" good things won't come easy
Maybe non-believers are right x2
But maybe life gets better
Maybe It Gets Better
Here's to the fall of patriarchy
Raise your glasses up and follow my lead
I'm only 16 but it really bothers me
That I can't walk down the street without being told get skinny-er
I've got some advice-
Eat local be nice
Not everything is going to shit x2
CHORUS:
Capitalist junkies, consumerism's in the lead
Bigots spitting shit from both ends
Don't get me started on politicians
Nothing is ever "free" good things won't come easy
Maybe non-believers are right x2
But maybe It Gets Better
I think it gets better
Maybe it

(Ho!)
(Hey!)
(Ho!)
(Hey!)
(Ho!) I've been trying to do it right
(Hey!) I've been living a lonely life
(Ho!) I've been sleeping here instead
(Hey!) I've been sleeping in my bed,
(Ho!) Sleeping in my bed
(Hey!)
(Ho!)
(Ho!) So show me family
(Hey!) All the blood that I would bleed
(Ho!) I don't know where I belong
(Hey!) I don't know where I went wrong
(Ho!) But I can write a song
(Hey!)
1, 2, 3
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweet
(Ho!)
(Hey!)
(Ho!)
(Hey!)
(Ho!) I don't think you're right for him.
(Hey!) Look at what it might have been if you
(Ho!) took a bus to China Town.
(Hey!) I'd be standing on Canal
(Ho!) and Bowery.
(Hey!)
(Ho!) And she'd be standing next to me.
(Hey!)
1, 2, 3
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
Love – we need it now
Let's hope for some
So, we're bleeding out
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweet
(Ho!)
(Hey!)
(Ho!)
(The last one)
(Hey!)

If I told you I didn’t think about it often, I would be lying. For you, my dear, plague me. Everyday and every night I feel the slow take over. I feel you rushing through my bloodstream and fueling my pulse. You are also present in the sinking of my heart and the nauseous pit in the bottom of my stomach. You are the empty radio static in my head, you are the nightmares that interrupt my brilliant, Technicolor dreams. You are the bitter cold that not even hot chocolate can thaw in the winter. You are in the shedding of the trees and the breaking of branches. You are the fog on my glasses and the early morning road. You are the loose strings on my sweaters and my pens devoid of ink. You are the bones in my wrist that will never sit correctly, my left eye that can produce tears. You are the calloused hands of a musician and a starter instrument that will no longer tune. Someday you will be framed and put on display as something I am proud to have overcome. You will be talked about as a product of the past. You will be written into college essays and talked about between doctors and patients. For now I will experience you in long, sleepless nights and words held back. You will be the calm before, the eye, and the hurricane due to pass. Occasionally I will stand on the shore to meet you and we’ll exchange secrets like old friends. Occasionally you will rip apart my roof and everything I hold close. Sometimes you will sneak in through my ear and rewire my brain. Sometimes I will be able to fix it; most times I will have to learn to adjust. Whatever the circumstance, we’ll belong to each other. I will remain in the quicksand you’ve trapped others beneath, and you will stay in one of folders I’ve tucked into the corner cabinets of my mind. You will cause earthquakes and I will bubble over like the volcano I’ve become. In a rare time of compromise we can live together in a comfortable little house I have fashioned and furnished for us in my head.

All I know is that you're so nice
You're the nicest thing I've seen
I wish that we could give it a go
See if we could be something
I wish I was your favourite girl
I wish you thought I was the reason you are in the world
I wish my smile was your favourite kind of smile
I wish the way that I dressed was your favourite kind of style
I wish you couldn't figure me out
But you always wanna know what I was about
I wish you'd hold my hand
When I was upset
I wish you'd never forget
The look on my face when we first met
I wish you had a favourite beauty spot
That you loved secretly
'Cause it was on a hidden bit
That nobody else could see
Basically, I wish that you loved me
I wish that you needed me
I wish that you knew when I said two sugars,
Actually I meant three
I wish that without me your heart would break
I wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake
I wish that without me you couldn't eat
I wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep
Look, all I know is that you're the nicest thing I've ever seen
And I wish that we could see if we could be something
Yeah I wish that we could see if we could be something

Cut my head open and a hole in my stomach, just for good measure. Scrape out my feelings and intestines and put them all into a trash bag. be very, very sure to empty my heart and my head. Clear the muscles and veins out of my arms and legs but save all the bones for later. Put on a good song and glue my bones into a mock-frightening sculpture of a human. tie a string through the skull and hang it in a tree on october 31st, it will blend in to look like plastic like all the rest. keep me in your closet until you bring out my bones and remember every line you etched into them and every scrape of memory and ache of joint that caused me to collapse and unfold for you. and burn the bones in your fire, for they'll never turn to ash. hopefully you can bring back my ghost, my soul, my spirit and i can finally haunt you like you haunt me.

I'm not waiting
I'm just confused by the lives that we chose
We've all got issues
Tell me where do you go when you're hiding away
Tell me where do you go when you lie to my face
I'm not hiding
I'm so far from home and that's where my heart is
And I'm just trying to make it
It's lonely out here in cold barren air
Not a day goes by when I don't think of you
Hard as I may try you just don't go away
I'm not waiting anymore

Hanging by a thread
Searching for the truth
Taking a picture lasts longer than youth
Flying on paper wings
Swinging my life away, away, away
CHORUS
I said I loved you, I lied
You said I gave up, I tried
I said I'd love you till death
But I never meant it
Oh no, I never meant it
Save me i'm drowning
I'm spinning through life
I've gone on auto-pilot
But this plane has no wires
Flying on paper wings always results in a crash
A crash
A crash
CHORUS
I said I loved you, I lied
You said I gave up, I tried
I said I'd love you till death
But I never meant it
Oh no, I never meant it x2

When 6 am strikes again
It will leave you feeling worn and tired
Left out to dry on an empty clothes rack
With no intent
Of anyone taking you back
So when the morning comes and you wake up, once again, alone
Just know you can’t live like this forever
You can’t stay up until 5,
Sometimes up all night,
Doing absolutely nothing
And still expecting to go somewhere in life
