You little creep
That's what she said
These quotes from your mother get better everyday
You'll be nothing
Just like your father
At least thats what the kids at school say

And Janie spends her Christmas at the Airport
She said planes made her feel like she could get away
I spent Christmas
In a detox ward
I wish I had an airport
Somedays

Cause some days are just so hard

They're closing down the Caldecott Tunnel
So tonight I'll dream she's the bridge
Never knew there'd be distance between us
What I've done cannot be repeated

I've got scars
I'm willing to show you
You had heart that I'll never see
She had answers to all the wrong questions
It's funny these answers are all that I need

Carry me carry me softly
Let her down easy so she doesn't know

Maybe when the room is empty
Maybe when this bottle's full
Maybe when the door gets broke down love can break in
Maybe when i'm done with thinking
Maybe you can think me whole
Maybe when i'm done with endings this can begin
This can begin, this can begin

If you could be my punk rock princess
I could be your garage band king
You could tell me how you just dont fit in

Departures are so hard, you claim, packing up your things
Your necklaces and rings
your darvadan and morphine

You can't believe the actor smacked her, gave her a black eye
There's something in the western winter where it's easier to say
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

These yellow lights are turning red, turning red
You starve your heart, you starve your head
And when it's over you go back to bed

Letters to noelle
Marked-up cardboard boxes fell
I fell with them
Crushed like them, I am

Letters to noelle
Years of waiting, nothing fading
Emptied out my pen
Carved the rest into my hand

Letters to noelle
Written from my darkest cell
Filling up my wishing well
Waiting on their return

But the driveway's clear
You prayed for silence
Step into my quiet violence
Do you see pictures in my words?

I can hear ticking clocks running rampant in me
Chiming in an apogee
Waiting for the synergy
Of her and me
Waiting on the light
And I never say goodnight
Never say that I'm always right

Now with you girl I'm content to drown
You're so high and I'm so down
This night will end sooner but much sooner now
And I'm awake in you and you're asleep in me
All the things I'll never be
