Vandalize

•

We used to be good 
We were living it up 
I thought that everything was 
I gave you my heart but you're giving it up 
Call it whatever you want 

If it helps to heal the wounds, you win the fight 
If I had it coming, feel you're in the right 

If love was here then it died 
But you could count upon your friends to mend your life 
No more tears 
No more lies 
When you're out again in time 
When you're once again in love 
When you've found another heart to vandalize 

I try to be cool 
But you're making it tough 
I've thought of everything but 
You say you want more 
But you've taken enough 
I've done whatever you want 
Now you'd rather call than see me to remark 
Guess you've had your fun so leave me in the dark 

If love was here then it died 
But you could count upon your friends to mend your life 
No more tears 
No more lies 
When you're out again in time 
When you're once again in love 
When you've found another heart to vandalize 

You'll see when you're out there on your own 
With no direction where to go 
You'll need another me to find 
Now you're leaving me alone 

When you're out again in time 
When you're once again in love 
When you've found another heart to vandalize

Let It Roll

•

Head over heels with your friends from the bar 
Harder to get than she looked from afar but she was 
I go to move but I'm pinned to the floor 
Heads in the car and my heart's in the war like it does 

It comes, it goes 
It's hard to hear that life's not fair but there you go 
Win some, get close 
And some defeats are hard to bear but let it roll 

I'm here as often and long as she lets 
Grant me the time and I know I could get her for once 
Just give me a chance and I'll show you a star 
I'll sing a song, I could play my guitar if she wants 

It comes, it goes 
It's hard to hear that life's not fair but there you go 
Win some, get close 
And some defeats are hard to bear but let it roll 

I should have stayed instead of leaving 
Regret it even as I go 
Ain't life a constant state of grieving 
At least that's all I've ever known 

It comes, it goes 
It's hard to hear that life's not fair but there you go 
Win some, get close 
And some defeats are hard to bear but let it roll

Never Will Call

•

I'll be there for you 
With only so much time to spend 
I never see it through 
Just long enough to say I went 

For the moment I'm strong 
But I'll be going under 
Only to stall, I'm writing down your number 
But never will call 

It's never something new 
It's just more of the same I guess 
It's hard for me to do 
I always feel the same but only weaker 
Why do I even bother 

For the moment I'm strong 
But I'll be going under 
The weather is calm 
But growing like a thunder 
Only to stall, I'm writing down your number 
But never will call 

String you along but pretend 
I don't believe a lady like you cares 
Say you belong as a friend 
I want to keep but maybe I'm too scared 

For the moment I'm strong 
But I'll be going under 
The weather is calm 
But growing like a thunder 
Only to stall, I'm writing down your number 
But never will call

Howdy, East Orange

•

Well, I fanned a flame for Mary 
That went out when you arrived 
But how ever wrong the reasons 
Stayed the course and made a life 
Around a friend I thought would be a better wife 
And I pretended I could leave and never write 

But I counted on the memory 
Of your love to feel alive 
When the life that I was leading 
Had convinced my heart to die 
Through all the years I lost to fear and knew were lies 
When all the tears I fought appeared and still denied 

My dreams are all devoted 
And my thoughts always drift to you 
My wife admits we're fond but not in love 
What hope was left eroded 
Now there's nothing left to lose 
I know it's wrong to tell you know 
Though much to my dismay 
But hear the words "I love you" when I say 
"Howdy, East Orange" 

Now the things I used to hope for 
All get put up on a shelf 
With a wife and kids to care for 
There's no more living for myself 
I watch beliefs I held get buried in the past 
With all the needs I thought to please but knew were last 

My dreams are all devoted 
And my thoughts always drift to you 
My wife admits we're fond but not in love 
What hope was left eroded 
Now there's nothing left to lose 
I'm sorry doesn't say it now 
For such a long delay 
But hear the words "I love you" when I say 
"Howdy, East Orange" 

How many years are left to waste on dreaming 
How many years were lost along the way 
I tried to make the best but now I'm screaming 
It only made it worse to long to say 

My dreams are all devoted 
And my thoughts always drift to you 
My wife admits we're fond but not in love 
What hope was left eroded 
Now there's nothing left to lose 
It doesn't make a difference now 
But later on it may 
So hear the words "I love you" when I say 
"Howdy, East Orange" 

And though we're not together 
You're not too far away 
To hear the words "I love you" when I say 
"Howdy, East Orange"

Not That Wonderful (To You)

•

Jasmine and Delilah call for me to play 
The daughters of the neighbors' I may 
Have tried to keep from knowing 
But they're calling anyway 
Still haven't heard from you but I'll wait 

Tell me why you're leaving 
It's hard for me to know 
The letters all returned that I wrote 
Time alone can tell me what is driving you to go 
How the dark will ever end when I know 

No one cares if I'm eroding 
No one cares if I'm alone 
No one cares if I am brave or on the ropes 
If I try to fight the waves or I don't 

No I haven't got a clue why they'd call to me but knew 
I was not that wonderful to you 

Found the words to win you and put 'em in a song 
Sang with all the breath in my lungs 
Dreamed you now adored me 
And were proud to sing along 
But only woke to learn that I'm wrong 

No one cares if I'm eroding 
No one cares if I'm alone 
No one cares if I am brave or on the ropes 
If I try to fight the waves or I don't 

No I haven't got a clue what a song for me could do 
If I'm not that wonderful to you 

Don't leave, be a friend 
Stay with me to the bitter end 
Don't go and break this heart in two 
If your heart of heart says to 

'Cause I haven't got a clue how to start over anew 
If I'm not that wonderful to you
