It's wrong to point out everything wrong with my French
'cos baby I'm trying to fit in
this party is making me blush,
I'm starting to figure out what makes them laugh
and right now:
Je suis tellement frappe,
I am so...
Doll girl, you make me warm.
I hear you're a big fan of all the cool bands
I know by name.
And baby it's been a while.
A long, long, long time
and haven't I seen you in a movie?
Je suis tellement frappe,
I am so...

Coast

She flew her kite on my coast
and she said it's over
so it's over.
My coast is constantly being walked upon
and I'm not even sober
never sober.
Today I tried
to fake it totally.
Today I tried
but no such thing as loyalty.
She's walking all over my coast
and I'm sitting in the sand.
She's walking all over my coast
and I'm sitting in the sand.
If I leave everything to the end of the day
will you still be
dear to me.
Come fly your kite on my coast
and we'll just crash here
and drink beer.
Today I tried
to fake it totally.
Today I tried
but no such thing as loyalty.

I was listening to records
and reading a copy of last Tursday's Times
when she interrupted me
in my head
told me to go to the hole in the wall.
She meant the bar
I knew she wanted me dead
bu the way she snuck into my bed.
The apartment next door
was smoking inside
I was led into the room where I cried:
I'm not that nice to you
but I'm trying to be.
I was dying to commit homicide
anything I said
to end the summer grind.
The screenplay I wrote
with our love on my mind
quickly turned into this
pile of slime.
I'm not that nice to you
cos you're a little confusing.
I waited for the bus with these two trendy girls
smoking and standing
and giving the eye.
She had missed her bus
so she was just like one of us.
We exchanged minds and a silent sigh.
I'm not that nice to you
but now I'm trying to be.
Missing deadlines
and missed opportunities
I will always remember the year of the chance.
You said you wanted to see me goodbye
but I was so done with you
I stayed inside.
I'm not that nice to you
but I'm trying to be.

Between
go feel bad about it.
Don't leave
cos you know I can do without it.
Stay down and don't give a damn about it.
Show me
what has been keeping you between.
Smile stain, something strange that I've seen.
Stay down and don't even worry about me.
One last sigh,
riding high,
this was meant to make you mine.
It's alright,
I'm out of fight,
but you were meant
to die tonight.
Cool down
strip all your pain away.
Watching
you faking it through
your day.
Stay down and wonder what makes you this way.
One last sigh,
riding high,
this was meant to keep you mine.
It's alright,
I'm out of fight,
but you were meant
to die tonight.

Second best,
same as the first
you said.
The handshake
that ended the death
I felt in my palm.
No more pictures
real life
real sugar.
We've got nothing in common,
I just like your
quiet heart.
What are you doing?
You're making wishes
all about her.
You know it would
make her jealous.
It's sick what you want.
No more pictures
real life
real sugar.
We've got nothing in common,
I just like your
quiet heart.

You want a project.
I want to keep my heart til the end.
Saturday comes slow,
I just want you to know
how to act.
Pretend that I love you
that I won't be keeping my heart
til the end.
Cos I can wait forever
til the last leaf begins.
Please stay and nurture your roots below
cos I can hold myself up til you go.
Not everyone has the power you have over me.
If you want to feel special well that's how I'll be.
You want a project,
someone to mold in your very own way.
Being myself is just not an option
to have any fun.
Please go and let drop the torture you crave.
His pain you will not be able to save.
That's what you get for thinking that you are the one.
If you want to feel special well that's how it's done.
Please stay and nurture your roots below
cos I can hold myself up til you go.
Not everyone has the power you have over me.
If you want to feel special well that's how I'll be.

Paul's Shoe Repair

I was walking around for something to do.
I passed a lot of students, none of them you.
I've no idea why she ran in to
what would make her blue.
When she came out I looked around and saw nothing had moved.
The air was still warm, my heart was still doomed.
I figured I'd stick it out, stay out of my room.
So I sat down in the blue.
It got to be early evening, and I got out of my chair.
The wind blew kind of hard so I just had to fix my hair.
Well I told myself there had to be something else in there
besides what made her blue.
Dusk brought the clouds but they didn't dampen my mood.
It was raining but not pouring so I kept a good attitude.
I was hungry for something, but it was not for you.
It was for what made her blue.
What made her blue.
What made her blue.

Sir Ames

Sir Ames is wandering around his town
enclosed in his car
which has so many wheels
that turn.
Sir Ames is stuck in his garden
away from it all he believes
in true love despite so many weeds
he must pull.
How does he do it everyday?
Sir Ames is mending the fence in his yard
which keeps out all of the birds
he hears when he's trying to sleep
in the morning.
Sir Ames is standing in front of the sun
and he knows that every eyes he catches
has so many ways to take it.
How does he do it everyday?

Stuck in the same
Stuck in the same
Stuck in the same
Stuck in the same
Stuck in the same
Stuck in the same
Stuck in the same
Stuck in the same
waiting for fall
baring a call
from someone I want.
Leave it all to chance.
Stuck in the same
Stuck in the same
Stuck in the same
Stuck in the same
You gotta move,
pretend it's all new.
Do what you do
just to bleed blue.
Waiting for fall,
baring a call,
from someone I want.
Leave it all to chance.
Stuck with my combinations,
I like this and that.
Stuck with all your compliments,
you like this and that.
Stuck in the same
Stuck in the same
Stuck in the same
Stuck in the same
Nights have been blown
all on your own
You don't feel alone
pursue the unknown.
Waiting for fall,
baring a call,
from someone I want
Leave it all to chance.
Stuck in the same
Stuck in the same
Stuck in the same
Stuck in the same
Voice has been out
you can't even shout
know nothing about
what even to shout.
Waiting for fall,
baring a call,
from someone I want
Is it all chance?
[cos I've been leaving everything to chance]
I need a bomb just to move me
and get me running again.
Lower your expectations,
you're not really that different.
Stuck with my combinations,
I like this and that.
Stuck with all your compliments,
you like this and that.
I need a bomb just to move me

Sarah,
I want you to never change
what you've been doing.
Sarah,
your smiles, they keep me pumping
but I still need something.
Maybe tomorrow you'll be on your way.
Maybe Tuesday will be our day,
but this bird has flown.
Sarah,
you were wrong to trade in early,
and make us worried.
I'm sorry
that we are blind
to the passing
of young time.
Maybe tomorrow you'll be on your way.
Maybe Tuesday will be our day,
but this bird has flown.
Once upon a time
I wrote a story
where no one died.
Maybe tomorrow you'll be on your way.
Maybe Tuesday will be our day,
but this bird has flown.
But this bird has flown
But this bird has flown.

I'm sorry if I gave your world a blueish tint.
I want to make everybody else a disappointment.
Now that I know what I'm doing
I've been feeling like a machine.
Now that I found someone missing
it's the same sorry routine.
Today is beautiful cos it's new.
Too early for goodbyes.
You know and I know that it's a dream.
It's impossible to keep something alive.
Now that the tower's been knocked down
you're not hanging around anymore.
I've been falling back on the same jokes
feeling like a jerk at your door.
I wanna come out of nowhere.
I wanna come out of nowhere.
I wanna come out of nowhere.
I wanna come out of nowhere.
Now that I know what I'm doing
I've been feeling like a machine.
Now that I found someone missing
it's the same sorry routine.
Now that the tower's been knocked down
you're not hanging around anymore.
I've been falling back on the same jokes
feeling like a jerk at your door.
Now that I've done a little thinking
I've been sinking.
There's just one thing I'm sure of:
I'm not bored of this yet.
