Falling Down

You cant explain theay you be
not everone compared to me
you never left you never meant 
to leave in shambles somewhere else

You feel the weight regret can bring
but end up dropping everything
we never slept we never met
you wandreing wonder  until death

time slipping by
too young to die
life isn't mine
too far to try
gotta make a move from Palatine 


be ready what tomorrow brings
there one last number got a swing
dont tubmble next forever  wrecked
you walking off just like my Ted

eventually get your degree
had no major   managed c's
you never learn you ever burned
she told you off once was your girl

Shambles

Everybody leaving where they gone
i Turn this party up again
I'm am down to hang out well passed dawn
Nowhere that I would be instead

oo think again you were so lost in her eye
for  mixed up reasons you cried 
as she told you she'd leave for hawaii 

i lost track of my baby all night long
could use myself a another friend
wheres that little lady that i've drawn
I'd like to talk to her again

oo think again you were so lost in her eye
for  mixed up reasons you cried 
as she told you she'd leave for hawaii

Nowhere I Would Be Instead

They used to tell me not to runaround run around
They ran me out of this Goddamn town
I don't know what I will be bringing along

They had me going I could never leave never leave
That sort of thing that I would believe
I know I was so easily deceived

I did not notice it was time to go time to go
Forget the places that I used to know
I have another place to call home

I used to threaten that I run away run away
Got Mom's heart racing every night and day
I don't care what my teacher and the doctors say

They got me winded cause I'm on the run on the run
Cannot recall the boy that I once was
Back in the day I was a good ole son

My daddy told me that I go to fast go to fast
Keep up this pace you will never last
I don't remember that I ever asked

There are so many things you never knew never knew
You don't know half the shit that I'd been through
If you were me you would be running too

Run Around

now that you're free
goddamn what you think was it getting rough
they never told till youre old enouigh
cant understand  till you're all grown up

you gotta breathe
make you're way out the  back door and not front 
juyst hit the road yeah forget your stuff 
cant gain your trust back im outta luck

what did i take
can i break away from all these troiubled days
fake the right path till it is your way
can't be a good boy i feel so strange

mostly awake
for heaven sake boy you know that you gotta change
what would my boys of the past been saying
goddamn it hard to look like im playing

Can't Be a Goodboy

Old Rules

gambling
yours and mine too
yeah i roll for dreams

you never seen
a man that out do
your most recent flinng

hear them sing hear them sing

you wanna drive
dont take you  time
i got the keys wanna gotta to see you fly

hey lets go
leave behind
theres another way we'll see some other time



I'll never leave
the places i knew
i cant let them be

jealously
make you go do 
bad and crazy thing
