The Classic

January's cold
Where I’ll be when I move to my Ohio
But why is it so hard to believe?

So I purchased my stole
Passing glance, no third chances in Ohio
But why is it so hard to believe it?

I don’t know
I’ll try and Dodge in May, but by the way
I don’t know
I’ll try and find my way down in east LA
No I do not know
How I will Dodge in May, but I’ve got to say that
Ohio is calling my name, calling my name

January's cold
Where I’ll be when I move to my Ohio
But why is it so hard to believe?

(yeah)

Mahjong Room

Ohio

With or without my understanding
Of how I might be today
Simple or not, I’ve got to hold on
To all of my early days

Spilling my cup, though it’s just half empty
Running at a walking‘s pace
Giving advice I’ve yet to call mine
I might as well have no face

I don’t know whether it’s my fault
You know that you’ll be there too
If you go down that same old road

Filling my time with exaggeration
I put on my resume
And I’ve got to get rid of that undertaker
He’s ruling my world today

I don’t know whether it’s my fault
You know that you’ll be there too
If you go down that same old road

It does not hurt yourself to try
We’ll get through this just you and I
It does not hurt yourself to try

Undertaker

(ooo) (aaah)

And these tapes they only cost
$1.59 for 3 60 minute tapes
So that’s pretty good
So I think it’s worth it
So I bought around like 4 uhm packs of em

So I just send tapes cuz this is pretty good
I think it’s better sending a tape than writing
Because like I’m telling everybody else
When you’re writing a letter and you wanna say something
And if it’s too long, you don’t write it

You don’t get the true meaning out of it
So on the tape you can just mess around
You can screw up ya know
If you make mistakes, you make mistakes
Or whatever
And it’s a lot more, ya know you get to hear the guy’s voice
And it just seems a lot more interesting

Hazel Street

(scream)
I know I shouldn’t stay
But it’s like in the way you talk
And I know it’s time for bed
But I’m running the same old block

I wish it was true
Stay here unsatisfied
And I could help you
But I’ve gone red inside

Am I doing the right thing?
All thoughts will live in my head
And I know the night’s begun
Who tryna get ahead?

I wish it was true
Stay here unsatisfied
And I could help you
But I’ve gone red inside

I wish it was true
Stay here unsatisfied
And I could help you
But I’ve gone red…

I wish I could help you
Stay here unsatisfied
And I could help you
But I’ve gone red inside

I don’t know why I try so hard
Stealing my slumber in your car

I can see your face going nowhere
I (I) don’t (don’t) want (want) to (to) be (be) close (close)
Cuz it’s hard
And why you want your face all inside my heart

It’s not the same when we’re both jaded
Don’t call me shmoopie, you’ll be hated

And I can see your face going nowhere
I (I) don’t (don’t) want (want) to (to) be (be) close (close)
Cuz it’s hard
And why you want your face all inside my heart

Shmoopie

I'm wanting 
oh I'm wanting for our time again 
Wanting to be your friend 

But I'm running 
Yes I'm running from the past again 
Wanting it all to end 

I should accelerate 
But why, I'm, I'm two steps from your home 

I'll be there 
Yes I'll be there when you arrive again 
Hoping it's all pretend 

I can't see you 
I can't know that time again 
I won’t seem friendly, accidentally. ohh (feedback) 

I should accelerate 
But why, I'm, I'm two steps from your home

Two Step

Jeanie, can you hear me tonight? 
My view’s all white 
So I’ll just sit tight 
Singing Jeanie, Can you hear me alright? 

Say 

Stay warm and turn that radio light 
I’ll sleep right through that quaking night 

Now Jeanie, please repeat me 
The Johnson’s alright 
Thanks to your enduring fight 

Say 

Stay warm and turn that radio light 
I’ll sleep right through that quaking night

Jeanie

I know it’s lonely
But it’s alright I don’t know where I’m going
Why so slowly?
I turn around and tear the stitch I’m sowing

Ask if I care, I’ll tell you one thing
Ask if I’ll share, and I’ll start running

Personally I’m done
Having Fun 

So do you see me
Eye to eye, or falling in completely
If I were to step outside (woah)

Haven’t I shared too much of one thing
Haven’t I paired us with the wrong thing

Personally I’m done
Having Fun 

Saturday it’s gone, so fast
No worries. No laughs.

Having Fun

If I don't own up to myself 
Who will be waiting for me? 
Checking up on my mental health 
Writing that one great story 

Cuz why should I be so keen to try? 

It's alright. If you don't go 
Stay inside. Call it home. 

Sit like a dog in Norway 
Scout out the time and place tonight 
Will they be waiting for me? 
There's probably better things to try 

And I'm wanting it more than I told you 
Can't sleep, won't sleep 
But I cannot wait any longer 
It's too late, too deep 

Cuz why should I be so keen to try? 

It's alright. If you don't go 
Stay inside. Call it home. 
Stop your crying. Just say so 
When your here, call it home 


It's alright. If you don't go 
Stay inside. Call it home. 
Stop your crying. Just say so 
When your here, call it home call it home

Call It Home

I, I can’t see you so close
If she wins the dust caves in and
I, I’ll remember the most
Of times spent in there, family affair

Should it go
I won’t know
How can I hear my friends?
In the mahjong room

I hear your shoes creeping in
You, me, matched up
Dice rolled, wait but
I forgot how to play
With those strangers and those strangers 

Should it go
I won’t know
How can I hear my friends?
In the mahjong room

Mahjong room
Mahjong room
I’m playing in the
Mahjong room
I’m singing in the
Mahjong room
I’m playing in the
Mahjong room
Come sing it again my friend
I’m playing in the
Mahjong room
Sing it with me now
Mahjong…
