Oh Lydia, she don’t like how I sing
I don’t like how she looks at me
Cuz her words, well they are so mean
But those eyes are inviting
Then she tells me I’m the worst person in her life
And then she tells me all she wants from me is to go away and die
But I don’t believe a single word that she says
Oh tell it to me Lydia
Gotta gotta get it Lydia
Come on tell it to me Lydia
Little little lying Lydia
Creativity, well that aint my thing
I’m sure that’s what she’s thinking
Cuz my lyrics, they are too crude
I’m sure she’d hate this
Then she tells me I’m the worst person in her life
And then she tells me all she wants from me is to go away and die But I don’t believe a single word that she says
Oh tell it to me Lydia
Gotta gotta get it Lydia
Come on tell it to me Lydia
Gotta gotta get it Lydia
Living in my head Lydia
Little little lying Lydia

Maria Maria,
Well I think I’d like to meet her
Cuz I’ve been staring at this picture
For too long know
Maria Maria,
Well she looks like the girl for me
Cuz she paints with poetry
Like the sunrise in the fall
I just want to find what frames those perfect eyes
But I don’t think it’s kind
Oooo left or right
Maria Maria, well I admit this is getting strange
I hardly know her name
But still I romanticize and fantasize
Oh Maria Maria,
I imagine what she'd say
Is she sick of these internet mind games
The ones that go on and on and on
On and on and on
I just want to find what frames those perfect eyes
But I don’t think it’s kind
Oooo left or right Oooo left or right

Out of Our Heads

If you needed to talk
You should have known that I’d be there
Cuz it’s been that way since we were three
Running falling and breaking our teeth
Oh brother, when did I grow so old?
When you left home
Well ya thought you were alone
But there were people there that you could not see
Cheering you and and stomping their feet
Oh brother, When did you get so cold?
You should whisper in my ear
All the words that you wanted them to hear
Get it out of your head
So I can shout back loud and clear
All the words that you used to fear
Get them out of our heads
You used to say
Life was nothing but a video game
And you could hit restart at the end of your line
Record your mistakes and make the rest fine
But no, that’s not how the story goes
You should whisper in my ear
All the words that you wanted them to hear
Get it out of your head
So I can shout back loud and clear
All the words that you used to fear
Get them out of our heads
There was no reason to leave
There was no reason to leave
And since you ended it I don’t know what to believe
I’m just a broken many begging for his reprise

She was never gonna be the one
She was always just late night fun
But I don’t blame him for being blind
Just do a little better next time
Cuz she was leaving from the start
Always bound to break his heart
And know he’s left to the drunk call game
And we all know that ends on way
Because she won’t answer that
Definitely not calling back
Because she don’t love you
But you don’t believe me
So now you gotta learn on your own
That the kids these day
They’re just looking for a weekend call away
He was never gonna be the one
Yeah he was always just one and done
Now I don’t blame her for being blind
Just be a little smarter next time
Cuz he was leaving from the start
Always bound to break her heart
And now they’ll left to the drunk call game
And we all know that ends with shame
Because he won’t answer that
Definitely not calling back
Because he don’t love you
But you don’t believe me
So now you gotta learn on your own
That the kids these day
They’re just looking for a weekend call away
He goes living in his one-night stands and she goes loving another man And they won’t understand
Keep playing it back in their heads again

Simple and Plain

Well don’t you hate it
When no one likes your Instagram post
Even when ya tag it
With every person that you know
So we refresh refresh refresh refresh
Until our batteries die
And it’s in that moment
When we wake up and realize
That we’re all so vain
Simple and Plain
Doesn’t it suck?
When the man he makes us leave home
When all we want to do
Is sit around and smoke
So we complain complain complain complain
When the man he aint around
And we work and work and work and work
On life’s broken merry-go-round
Oh we’re all so vain
Simple and plain
Yeah we’re all so vain
Never gonna change
Isn’t is sad?
When this hypocrite he writes a song
And it makes it worse it makes it worse
When you can’t help but sing along
Oh we’re all so vain
Simple and plain
And we like it that way

The Monkey

Everyone likes it when you’re one of them.
No they can’t stand a little difference
Some cookie cutter botox renegade
No girl I want to misbehave
But still I play on in their mascaraed
Laughter is gold inside their game
They can’t see it’s all make-believe
Cuz they’ll never get the real me
So I’ll do your dance
And I’ll be your monkey
And I’ll act the fool
It’ll be so fucking funny
Just dance
Just dance
We all love staring in the mirror
Helps us think a little clearer
Look in your eyes and learn how they lie
Fight back that deception and they’ll think you’re fine
Now don’t eat unless you’re hungry
Don’t speak less you got something to say
Our thoughts will boil and marinade
But it’s just a little game we play
So I’ll do your dance
And I’ll be your monkey
And I’ll act the fool
It’ll be so fucking funny
Just dance
Just dance

Carpe Diem

Oh can you help me find some other life, my dear
For I have fallen down and could use a hand thats’s sincere
And if you took mine we would travel wide and experience our years
So I wont rush your mind, you can take your time, I’ll be waiting down here
But if you’d come with me
We’d feast in Italy
And camp out in the coliseums
Oh what a life living by Carpe Diem
Can you handle this, I know I’ve been quick to implore
For the day has just begun and I’m already asking for more
But I wont be waiting around, theres a world to be found
And I’m ready to explore
So if you could think it through, In a night to two,
I’d love to get off this floor
But if you’d come with me
We’d feast in Italy
And camp out in the coliseums
And when you need romance
I’d take you to France
We’ll drink our wine on the setting sun
And when there’s time to save
We’ll visit Eleanor’s grave
London can one day be more than a dream
Oh what a life living by Carpe Diem

Sun Day

If we measured all of time
We’d each live one day
If we weighed our lives
We’d each float away
But today there ain’t a cloud in the sky
So why should I spend it inside?
There’s just so much left to do
And I want to do it all
Before the sun decides to fall
I’ll be gray at 33
But that does not matter to me
As the years go soaring by
I’ll be the one that’s alive
Cuz today there ain’t a cloud in the sky
So why should I spend it inside?
There’s just so much left to do
And I want to do it all
Before the sun decides to fall

April Came In The Rain

I don’t know if your angels can fly
All I know is that the devil’s in the sky
And he’s been pushing me to Reno
Trying to steal a Johnny Cash line
He’s telling me I got to go left or right
Well one way wants me to bow to god’s might
And the other wants my money
Well keep your hand in your own pocket man
Oh April cam with the rain
Oh April cam with the rain
Oh April cam in the rain
I don’t know where my meaning lies
I just say some words and hope that they rhyme
Cuz the people at the Inkwell
They got no idea what I’m saying
Hey hey hey
Smoke your bottles and drink your weed
Close your eyes and float to sweet serenity
Cuz it all don’t matter
Bernie ain’t gonna save you
Oh April cam with the rain
Oh April cam with the rain
Oh April cam in the rain
I’ll say this once I an’t saying it again
There ain’t no use changing the words in my head
So I’m running back to Reno
Just to watch him die
So it don’t matter what I say
I’m just here to entertain
So April came with the rain
April came with the rain
April came in the rain

Bike Song

I left you last night
When you were still mine
I left you tied up
Safe and tight
But when I awoke
The chains binding you broke
And you were gone
Gone gone gone gone gone
Now someone new is riding you
Someone new is going downtown on you
Someone new
Someone new’s riding you
Now everyone looks like you
On the street
And I feel the pain
In my feet
I’m forced down the green line
Sick to my stomach all the time
Because you’re gone
Gone gone gone gone gone
Now someone new is riding you
Someone new is going downtown on you
Someone new
Someone new’s riding you

I know that every man in this room
They can remember seventeen
Oh lets walk into a daydream
Well there were classroom fantasies
And the girls that were our queens
Well I too was young
And I fell for love
The way most adolescents do
She wanted to see the country
So I filler her mind with scenes
Of mountaintops and city shops and everything in-between
So I made that girl hate me
I forgot her birthday
Showed up a day late
Sang her least favorite song
Because she wanted a family
And I needed the big screen
So I did the right thing
And told her to move on
But these days I’m thinking of
The girl in all my songs
I know that everyone has their ghosts
They follow us where we go
We watch them on our tv shows
And they’re singing on the radio
I met mine on a Monday
And I was hers by a Tuesday
But the weekend was something we never knew
Cuz she was walking her way
And I was walking my way
I don’t think this could have ever changed
So I made that girl hate me
I forgot her birthday
Showed up a day late
Sang her least favorite song
Because she wanted a family
And I needed the big screen
So I did the right thing
And told her to move on
Yeah that’s just what she did
She found a new man
Stuck with her old plans
And now their kids are growing up
Well I think I’d like to meet them
But I don’t know if I can
Build up my courage
And look her in the eyes
And see some other life
That could have been Mine
But these days I’m thinking of
The girl in all my songs
