I don't care about the world at all.
I never asked to be a part of it.
I don't care about love at all.
That's why I'm good with disappointment.
I'm not at peace with who I used to be.
Sometimes I hate it.
Sometimes I need you here with me.
There's always a war, you know, inside my head.
Some nights it's haunting me.
But that's how I wanted it to be.
I don't believe in anything.
That's how it's always been since I was growing up.
She threw her sorrows off the Fahey Bridge.
I burned mine deep into my skin.
I.. I am always fighting
what's in my hands and what's in my heart.
I don't believe in fucking anything.
I know it's so pitiful that I never had it all.
I don't wanna waste the things I've said.
I'd rather be right here fucking waiting.
I've always been cursed by the life I've known..
Since I was growing up. Better off alone.
I don't believe that it's always been so certain
or that anything's been predetermined.
I.. I am always fighting
what's in my hands and what's in my heart.

I've been running for my life
still trying to catch up to you
All these thoughts in your heart..
Do they mean anything at all?
I've been trying so hard to catch up with you.
I'm still running in place.
I still don't know what to do.
I wish I could get those little feelings
that I felt back from you.
I wish I could spend all those little feelings
on someone new.
I'm still running from my shadow
I could only lose at night.
I swam through rainy nights under city lights
Going through the motions of every fucking fight.
There's still so much I'd love to tell you.
But I think I left my heart back in Philadelphia.
I wish I could get those little feelings
that I felt back from you.
I wish I could spend all those little feelings
on someone new.
I'm still running from my shadow
I could only lose at night.
Some things are better off left alone.
I'm not really the sentimental type.
I don't even know who I was back then
Some times it's better off left dead.
I wish I could get those little feelings
that I felt back from you.
I wish I could spend all those little feelings
on someone new.
I'm still running from my shadow
I could only lose at night.

As the whole world's ending I'm waiting for you
You say you're waiting for me like I've been waiting for you.
I'd wait here forever if you'd see me through.
When the world's over I'll build a new one for you.
You say you're waiting for me..
Well, I've been waiting for you.
Now they're saying it's over.
They're saying it's true.
Well, if it's over there's nothing I'd rather do
than watch the whole world burn here just me and you.
My whole world is through.. My whole world is you.
They said the world was ending long ago.
It's finally ending then I want you to know
that I feel it in my heart,
cutting through to my soul.
I write these love soaked lines just for me and you.
My whole world's in you..

Sometimes I feel like
parking my car on the side of the road
and go running into the woods
and never coming back.
You know I feel this cold old heart
like I don't feel at all.
The only time we're together now
is at goddamn funerals.
I felt the same way then,
when I was a kid in a smaller town.
I smeared my heart across the floorboards
of the house I grew up in.
You gotta hold on tight..
And if I drive my car right off
the side of the mountain now
Just know I had planed it.
I had everything plotted out.
Down to the road we're driving down
and the song that's playing now
So if I feel the moment calling
don't touch the goddamn stereo!
I felt the same way when,
when I was a kid in the city lights..
Sparkling glass on the concrete
doing circles along the turnpike.
You gotta hold on tight..
I feel like I'm holding on to these memories,
but I'm hardly holding on myself.
You gotta hold on tight..

You might see my hands shake,
but you won't feel my heart break.
I've seen all the worst of the world
and sometimes it's hard for me to just take it in.
I don't owe you anything.
I don't owe anyone any explanations.
I know what's in my head and I know what's in my heart.
You don't need to know a goddamn thing about me.
All you need to know is we're doing alright.
I've seen a lot of my friends to their grave.
That's how I learned to keep my dark in it's place.
My childhood friend drowned in a lake in a place
that when we were kids we used to go and hang.
How my brother and I didn't talk for years..

I hate how I can always walk into something
that I know is going to turn out bad
and I feel it in my gut and I wish I never had.
Still I hope it turns out fine.
Now she's doing lines of coke
and she's kissing on my arm
and walking around in underwear
She's talking all in circles
and stringing me along
saying how she hopes I'm always there.
I wanna say no but I don't want you to go right now at all..
I wish I could have known you
before all of the pain and the worries in your heart.
Back before you shook the target,
lost in pain and harmed,
fought the world and fell apart.
And I know it could be different
in every single way if you're not too scared to try.
And I said it could be different
in every single way, but I'm afraid you'll die..
I wanna say no but I don't want you to go right now at all.
I wanna say no.. but I don't want you to go.

All alone I'm walking across the city at night.
I count the pavement cracks at least a thousand times.
Walking passed my old haunts from where I grew up.
I see the city in the moonlight with exposed insides.
I don't know why I can't sleep at night..
I can feel it in my bones like I'm screaming into the unknown.
Like a whisper in my bones. I can't sleep at home.
I can feel them calling, the ghosts of my past.
I can see them waiting for pull me back.
Now the pavement sparkles as I roam alone.
The streetlights shed ease on my shadow.
I don't know why I can't sleep at night.
I can feel it in my bones like I'm screaming into the unknown.
Like a whisper in my bones. I can't sleep at home.
All alone I'm walking through the city at night.
The cement dust settles on the city's backside.
All alone I follow the glowing cigarette light
I'll leave a trail of ash. That's all I've left behind.

North Star

I don't think that the world was always trying to keep us close.
Maybe all along it was always trying to keep us apart.
We're both at fault for holding in shit we should have said.
So don't let your heart ache over what could have been.
Life's too short too wonder all along.
You're still my north star that guides my path.
Our love was like a shining that shot across the summer sky.
Quick as a lightening bolt that kissed the ground.
If you believe that we were guided by the hands of fate.
Then you've also gotta believe that those mistakes
were all so perfectly placed.
I've been searching for the heart I had back then
You're still my north star shining.
You've always been in my world.
You've always had a little piece of me with you
A little keepsake from my childhood
I used to wear around my neck.
I hope it brought you all the same luck that it gave me
with every passed moment.
So don't look back at a single fucking thing
with any little bit of regret.
I don't think that world was always trying to keep us close.
It was just keeping us where we needed to be
Any time I reached out to you or you reached out to me
Like teenagers looking for something deeper to believe.
Life's too short to walk back to the past.
You're still my north star that lights my path.

Before it Goes Down

I want a girl who is as warm as me
and always seems there too cold
Seeking an illusive sound
I keep my ear down and out for common ground
I wish you could live without the need for somewhere else.
I wish I could live without the records on my shelves,
but they own me.
And I want it to be something else.
I set myself up to be this alone.
If I just look up and live
I don't feel the moments slipping away.
But I spent too long looking down for most of the day.
You should watch the pot because it's going to boil.
Or waste your time with your head in the clouds or on a girl.
Because life will come and interrupt you.
Enjoy the time you get to be with yourself.
Get lost in a sunset before it goes down.

Cynical Heart
04:12

I write love songs about the whole world ending
and stars exploding because that's all I've ever known.
It's the kind of love that makes you feel
like your heart's been ripped right out of your chest.
The kind of love that makes you second guess
if your heart's beating at all..
Because I've got a cynical heart..
I'm not used to falling in love
without getting used to everything ending
because that's everything I know.
It's the kind of love that makes you feel
like your hands could never stop the nervous shakes
It's the kind of love that makes you wish
that you would never fall again
Because I've got a cynical heart..
I write love songs about..
the world ending because
I used romanticize the past.
I write love songs about..
burning stars because love fades out too fucking fast
And just like the stars
when you think you've finally found a heart to hold
It's burned ago..
Long before you ever stopped to glare in its glow
You wanna know how I know?
Because I've got a cynical heart..

The Days I Want
04:03

I don't open my eyes anymore. I wanna see as it was.
I tour the town in the pouring rain just because.
Because I can't hang with the thoughts of a future
or the ones I love without seeing the days I can't relive.
Without seeing the days I want to give to you.
I can't find a hole for my head anymore.
I don't know where I stand.
I guess I was never all that sure.
I guess I am what I fucking am.
And I can't hang with the thoughts of a future
or the ones I love without seeing the days I can't relive.
Without seeing the days I want to take from you..
The days I want to take back from you.
I can't look to the sky without
reminders of those high school nights.
Pathetic love, sweet spring and the blue and white.
And I can't hang with the thoughts of a future
or the ones I love without seeing the days I can't relive.
Without dreaming about the days I want to share with someone new..

Halloween on Christmas
05:46

I missed Halloween that year
so you invited me over to your house.
You had decorations up
and of my favorite horror movies waiting to be viewed.
You had candy sprawled out all over the bed..
All of my favorites.. My favorite is you.
We were roommates before
we were ever in love.
Maybe that's when I fell for you first.
I never had a key to that old house
so I'd climb up the gutters to the balcony
and you would let me in.
The following year we moved to the city.
There was a bloody birthday zombie fest.
During the mob riots you came to rescue me.
There was nothing better than going home with you.
For Valentines Day on your birthday,
I put up blankets and flipped over the couch
to turn our apartment into a haunted house..
There was nothing better than falling asleep with you.
I always lost my key to that old house
so I'd sneak in the hallway, or I would wait on the porch.
I'd sit there waiting.. for you to come home.
We could do Halloween on Christmas
or every day for the rest of our lives.
You can go trick-or-treating for Smooth's and I'll get 99's.
We had to flea bomb that old house
when I brought in our winter guest.
When we were fighting over hotel rooms,
you were too tired to drive and needed to rest.
Speaking of that,
remember when Morrisey nearly sang us to death.
I saw Bob Dylan's shadow dance across your face.
Of course, we snuck up front.
It was one of the prettiest things that I've ever seen.
I've seen so much with you.
I still think our house was a time and not a place.

I miss the skyline, greasy streetlights, city life
Walking under the bridge to Belmont Ave at 4am.
Falafel carts and funnel cake stands..
Wawa coffee and spray paintin' hearts
I never thought they days would come to an end..
When we first moved we lived by the Philly zoo.
I didn't love it at first, ya know.
I moved to Conchi and then I moved to Manayunk.
That's where I really felt at home
Riding the bus to work to the music store
with some of the greatest friends I've ever known.
I never thought they days would come to an end..
Philadelphia.. Some days I really miss my home.
Those days were different.. Those days are gone.
Playing guitar on my roof.
The police drive up to offer up some requests.
Next door, the convenient store,
ordered 99's and Keystone Orange Crème just for me.
Walking down this streets with music playing in my head
The soundtrack to this city has always been the Dead Milkmen.
I don't care about sports at all,
but I've got the updates on my phone
Because I got free pizza from Zesto's when the Eagles win.
I never thought they days would come to an end..
Philadelphia.. Some days I just miss being home.
I remember all of our house parties..
and hanging with my best friends.
I remember sledding down my steps
in my old apartment.
I remember rigging the chair to fall
apart underneath AC
and how I couldn't leave my house for days
when John puked in the hallway.
Those days are gone..
Rummaging through the records at Main Street Music
Right on the corner where I met Billy Bragg.
Thumbing through comics and playing video games
A couple blocks away from where I hung with Kris Roe.
Collecting all the Ramones shirts at Crash Bang Boom
I never met a girl there who knocked me dead.
Gliding my fingers on the rail along the canal
Walking back up to Lyceum Ave to go back home again.
I never thought they days would come to an end..
Philadelphia.. Some days I just miss being home.
I really just miss what life was like then.
But, I'm no longer a Philadelphian.
Here in the mountains I don't hear a fucking thing at all
