Gypsy Rose lyrics - ben kweller
Oh gypsy rose
I will wait for your sun to shine
Now youve got me goin somewhere no one could find
All in my life its the world that makes me cry
Oh summer day go back home
Give your body away
Milky arms and legs wrap around this neglected frame
And the world will make you cry
Yea the world wont tell you why
But this world wont make you die
Cuz I loved you right
Oh gypsy rose
You got me swallowed up in your streets
Bring your food, money, shoes
Just to lie here with you beneath your sheets
I see hope in your eyes
Its the world that makes you cry
Rose I got no friends
I got no kids and I dont got kin
My one salvation is the warmth of your skin
And this world will make you cry
Yea the world will make you lie
Oh the world will suck you dry
Oh but I love you right
Oh summer day go back home
Give your body away
And when I wake
Youll have saved my life
I will wait for your sun to shine
Now youve got me goin somewhere no one could find
All in my life its the world that makes me cry
Oh summer day go back home
Give your body away
Milky arms and legs wrap around this neglected frame
And the world will make you cry
Yea the world wont tell you why
But this world wont make you die
Cuz I loved you right
Oh gypsy rose
You got me swallowed up in your streets
Bring your food, money, shoes
Just to lie here with you beneath your sheets
I see hope in your eyes
Its the world that makes you cry
Rose I got no friends
I got no kids and I dont got kin
My one salvation is the warmth of your skin
And this world will make you cry
Yea the world will make you lie
Oh the world will suck you dry
Oh but I love you right
Oh summer day go back home
Give your body away
And when I wake
Youll have saved my life
Old Hat lyrics - ben kweller
Hello sweet friend of mine
I wanna talk see how you are
Whats new? Are you feeling fine?
Do you like sadly
Do you work all the time?
This whole month has been a waste
And I got no taste
For going out ever since you left home
Ive been shamefaced
But id rather be erased than hold you down
I never want to be the old hat you put on your pretty head
I never want to be the old hat you put on your pretty head
Now I know I, I talk too much
Worry bout things
That cant be controlled
And I cant decide always up on the fence
And I dont make no sense
And baby I know that gets old
But I never want to be the old hat you put on your pretty head
I never want to be the old hat you put on your
My tornado love tore it all down
Now im face down in all this muddy guilt
And all I wanna make you smile again
Warm your heart again like an old worn out quilt
Ill be your glove ill be your scarf ill be the cross that covers your heart
I dont want you to get tired of my honey after such a good start
I never want to be the old hat you put on your pretty head
I never want to be the old hat you put on your pretty head
Your pretty head
Your pretty head
Your pretty head
I wanna talk see how you are
Whats new? Are you feeling fine?
Do you like sadly
Do you work all the time?
This whole month has been a waste
And I got no taste
For going out ever since you left home
Ive been shamefaced
But id rather be erased than hold you down
I never want to be the old hat you put on your pretty head
I never want to be the old hat you put on your pretty head
Now I know I, I talk too much
Worry bout things
That cant be controlled
And I cant decide always up on the fence
And I dont make no sense
And baby I know that gets old
But I never want to be the old hat you put on your pretty head
I never want to be the old hat you put on your
My tornado love tore it all down
Now im face down in all this muddy guilt
And all I wanna make you smile again
Warm your heart again like an old worn out quilt
Ill be your glove ill be your scarf ill be the cross that covers your heart
I dont want you to get tired of my honey after such a good start
I never want to be the old hat you put on your pretty head
I never want to be the old hat you put on your pretty head
Your pretty head
Your pretty head
Your pretty head
Fight lyrics - ben kweller
He is a trucker
Burning the highway
His heart is strong as stone
Counting them yard lines
Passing the hard time
Riding that black top home
[CHORUS:]
You gotta fight fight fight fight all the way
You gotta fight fight fight all the way
You gotta set your sight on the Lord in your life
You gotta fight till your dying day
She is an intern
Fighting the love burn
Rolling out tears like a wave
That angel's boy friend
Left her with nothing
But she'll never be his slave
[CHORUS:]
You gotta fight fight fight fight all the way
You gotta fight fight fight all the way
You gotta set your sight on the Lord in your life
You gotta fight till your dying day
I'm like my grandma
Short but I stand tall
Playing every single card thats dealt to me
Well you know some days are aces
And some days are faces
Well some days are 2's and 3's
[CHORUS:]
You gotta fight fight fight fight all the way
You gotta fight fight fight all the way
You gotta set your sight on the Lord in your life
You gotta fight till your dying day
Burning the highway
His heart is strong as stone
Counting them yard lines
Passing the hard time
Riding that black top home
[CHORUS:]
You gotta fight fight fight fight all the way
You gotta fight fight fight all the way
You gotta set your sight on the Lord in your life
You gotta fight till your dying day
She is an intern
Fighting the love burn
Rolling out tears like a wave
That angel's boy friend
Left her with nothing
But she'll never be his slave
[CHORUS:]
You gotta fight fight fight fight all the way
You gotta fight fight fight all the way

Ballad Of Wendy Baker lyrics - ben kweller
Im so quiet today
I dont feel like me
Someone took your smile away
Now it's gone and I cant see
No one looks til it's gone
Im the one who likes change
But I feel taken by surprise
Let me rewind the things I said
That made it rain inside your eyes
I keep missing you
My heart knows it's through
Don't wake up Im here
To keep you from the storm
Ill suck up your fear
To keep your body warm
I keep missing you
My heart knows its through
Dont wake up Im here
To keep you from the storm
I'll suck up your fear
To keep your body warm
I keep missing you
My heart knows it's through
Nothing to hold on to
My heart knows it's through
I dont feel like me
Someone took your smile away
Now it's gone and I cant see
No one looks til it's gone
Im the one who likes change
But I feel taken by surprise
Let me rewind the things I said
That made it rain inside your eyes
I keep missing you
My heart knows it's through
Don't wake up Im here
To keep you from the storm

To keep your body warm

Says she's gonna love me but she just won't tell me when.
She won't ever say, cause she just wants to play. oh,

I'm a lonely man but she don't understand. no,
She just wants me wantin' her again.
Oooh, she loves to know

That girl's a crook, she's got my heart in her pocketbook.
She don't even wanna be my friend.
She just wants me wantin' her again.
Oooh, I thought about it
Oooh, I can live without it
Oooh, I'm gonna stand up straight.
I'd appreciate all the things she done.
If that girl was smart she'd be on the run.
She'd be happy to dig a hole and throw you in.
She just wants me wantin' her again,
Just wantin' her again, just wantin' her again.
Says she's gonna love me but she just won't tell me when.

Things I Like To Do Lyrics – Ben Kweller
I don't know where we are
But I know what I like to do
I like staring up at a starry sky and down on an ocean blue
I like it when we touch
To most people this isn't much
These are the things that I like to do
I don't know where to go
But I know what I like to do
I like walking down those little streets when we're in Paris, France
When I'm in the mood to run and when I'm in the mood to dance
These are the things that I like to do
I don't know how to spell
But I know what I like to do
I like thinking 'bout the people who lived here before us
I like listening to my favorite music when I'm on the bus
These are the things that I like to do
I don't know what to do
But I know what I like to do
I like talking in the diner 'stead of screaming in the noisy bar
I like walking into public places strumming this guitar
These are the things that I like to do
But most of all I like liking you
But I know what I like to do
I like staring up at a starry sky and down on an ocean blue
I like it when we touch
To most people this isn't much
These are the things that I like to do
I don't know where to go
But I know what I like to do
I like walking down those little streets when we're in Paris, France
When I'm in the mood to run and when I'm in the mood to dance
These are the things that I like to do
I don't know how to spell
But I know what I like to do
I like thinking 'bout the people who lived here before us
I like listening to my favorite music when I'm on the bus
These are the things that I like to do
I don't know what to do
But I know what I like to do
I like talking in the diner 'stead of screaming in the noisy bar
I like walking into public places strumming this guitar
These are the things that I like to do
But most of all I like liking you
On Her Own Lyrics – Ben Kweller
Good Old Alexandra
Left her man last night
Off to Louisiana
New Orleans in sight
Her determination went right down to her bone
She is gonna make it on her own yea
Always been a rambler
Moving her whole life
Daddy was a gambler with a heavyhearted wife
The twilight wind blows her face
And that bronco engine moans
She is gonna make it on her own
[Chorus:]
That girl don't fake it
Give her rules shell break it
Shell love you on and on and shell be gone
Shes gonna make it on her own
Yea
Shes on her own yea
Mom lives down in Gretna working at the Oakwood mall
Hasn't seen her Alex since Katrina conquered all
She'll be in and out as fast as a hurricane is blown
She is gunna make it on her own
[Chorus]
Babys on her own yea
Go!
Oh Alex
I fantasize about a love she never had for me
She wouldnt marry him cuz she just wants her liberty
In 50 years I bet you'll see these
Words on her grave stone
"Heres a girl who made it on her own"
[Chorus]
She's gonna make it on her own
Left her man last night
Off to Louisiana
New Orleans in sight
Her determination went right down to her bone
She is gonna make it on her own yea
Always been a rambler
Moving her whole life
Daddy was a gambler with a heavyhearted wife
The twilight wind blows her face
And that bronco engine moans
She is gonna make it on her own
[Chorus:]
That girl don't fake it
Give her rules shell break it
Shell love you on and on and shell be gone
Shes gonna make it on her own
Yea
Shes on her own yea
Mom lives down in Gretna working at the Oakwood mall
Hasn't seen her Alex since Katrina conquered all
She'll be in and out as fast as a hurricane is blown
She is gunna make it on her own
[Chorus]
Babys on her own yea
Go!
Oh Alex
I fantasize about a love she never had for me
She wouldnt marry him cuz she just wants her liberty
In 50 years I bet you'll see these
Words on her grave stone
"Heres a girl who made it on her own"
[Chorus]
She's gonna make it on her own
Homeward Bound Lyrics – Ben Kweller
Hes waiting at the station
Hes not taking any train
Hes a kid from Colorado
Counting the raindrops in the drain
Hes sleeping in the tunnel
Hes not edging for the
Hes a lonesome river swimmer
Wondering where the river went
Whos gunna carry him down
Whos gunna carry him down
One more turn around and he'll be homeward bound
Whos gunna carry him carry him down
Theres a landlord on the benches theres a posse on the train
Theres an angel up in heaven
Who forgot somebodies name
Whos gunna carry him down
Whos gunna carry him down
One more turn around and he'll be homeward bound
Who's gunna carry him carry him down
[Repeat until end]
Hes not taking any train
Hes a kid from Colorado
Counting the raindrops in the drain
Hes sleeping in the tunnel
Hes not edging for the
Hes a lonesome river swimmer
Wondering where the river went
Whos gunna carry him down
Whos gunna carry him down
One more turn around and he'll be homeward bound
Whos gunna carry him carry him down
Theres a landlord on the benches theres a posse on the train
Theres an angel up in heaven
Who forgot somebodies name
Whos gunna carry him down
Whos gunna carry him down
One more turn around and he'll be homeward bound
Who's gunna carry him carry him down
[Repeat until end]
Run Lyrics – Ben Kweller
Over hill
Over dams
I run with you
If it works
If it fails
I run with you
Since fifteen
I have ran
Everywhere
You can run
But together is much better
So let's run let's run let's run
Empty hands
Tired feet
I run with you
On the sand
Over concrete
I run with you
Since fifteen
I have ran
Everywhere you can run
But with you
It's much more fun
So let's run let's run let's run
It doesn't matter that they say we'll never make it
It's so strong that nothing can ever break it
You and I can tackle anything of any size
All anyone can ever want is a co-pilot
Someone to leave this town and
Up and start a secret
And when you sneak out at night
I'll kiss you right between your eyes
Over hills, over dams
I run with you
Down the mountain
Through the trails
I run with you
Since I was fifteen
I have ran
Everywhere you can run
I'm not done with my traveling
So let's run let's run let's run
I'm not done with my traveling
So let's run let's run let's run
I'm not done with my traveling
So let's run let's run let's run
Over dams
I run with you
If it works
If it fails
I run with you
Since fifteen
I have ran
Everywhere
You can run
But together is much better
So let's run let's run let's run
Empty hands
Tired feet
I run with you
On the sand
Over concrete

Since fifteen

Everywhere you can run
But with you
It's much more fun
So let's run let's run let's run
It doesn't matter that they say we'll never make it

Nothing Happening Lyrics – Ben Kweller
Like sun though the night
Just to get it right
A battle ground at my feet
An unwinable fight
The words we say won't matter anyhow
Let's focus on tomorrow
Instead of right now
Nothing happening
It's all illusion
It's all illusion
Nothing happening
It's all confusion
It's all confusion
All around this room tonight
Now there's nothing we can do
To make each other feel alright
Instead of trying to tell me how to be
Just focus on tomorrow instead of on me
Nothing happening
It's all illusion
It's all confusion
If we want to keep this love we found
We've got to focus on tomorrow
Instead of right now
Nothing happening
It's all illusion
It's all illusion
Nothing happening
It's all confusion
It's all confusion
It's all confusion
Nothing is happening
It's all illusion
It's all illusion
Nothing is happening
It's all confusion
It's all confusion
It's all confusion
It's all confusion
It's all confusion
It's all confusion
Just to get it right
A battle ground at my feet
An unwinable fight
The words we say won't matter anyhow
Let's focus on tomorrow
Instead of right now
Nothing happening
It's all illusion
It's all illusion
Nothing happening
It's all confusion
It's all confusion
All around this room tonight
Now there's nothing we can do
To make each other feel alright
Instead of trying to tell me how to be
Just focus on tomorrow instead of on me
Nothing happening
It's all illusion
It's all confusion
If we want to keep this love we found
We've got to focus on tomorrow
Instead of right now
Nothing happening
It's all illusion
It's all illusion
Nothing happening
It's all confusion
It's all confusion
It's all confusion
Nothing is happening
It's all illusion
It's all illusion
Nothing is happening
It's all confusion
It's all confusion
It's all confusion
It's all confusion
It's all confusion
It's all confusion

I Gotta Move Lyrics – Ben Kweller
I gotta move,
While the streets ahead are sunny
Fall in love with some honey.
Oohh mama, I gotta move.
I just can't sit still,
In this small town,
There's nothin more here I hit the ceiling,
So in the morning I'll hit the highway.
Ooohh, I just can't stay
I gotta move,
While the streets ahead are sunny
Fall in love with some honey.
Oohh mama, I gotta move.
Its time I broke out into the open,
You know I'll settle down again some day,
I need some new land, and form a rock band.
Oohh, I just can't stay.
I gotta move,
While the streets ahead are sunny,
Fall in love with some honey.
Oohh mama, I gotta move.
And when you wake up and I'm not around you,
My eyes will be racing into the sun, I run, yeah I run,
And all the people start to bring me down yeah,

Thirteen Lyrics – Ben Kweller
We've been in the rain
We've been on the mountain
We've been round the fire
In fancy hotels
Drank water from farm wells
We sang with the choir
I kissed your dry lips
We jumped off the high cliffs
And splashed down below
Skin to skin
In the salty river
Made love in the shadow
Woooah ooh
Read books to each other
Read the mind of the other
Flew one thousand
We laughed and we cried
At movies and real life
In our ridiculous beds
We danced in the moonlight at midnight
We pressed against back doors and wooden floors
And you never faked it
And frequently
We ignored our love
But we could never mistake it
Oooh ooh
We met on the front porch
Fell in love on the phone
Without the physical wreck
You gave me the necklace
That used to hang
Around your mothers neck
We questioned religions
Fed bread to the pigeons
We learned how to pray
We stood by the ocean
Turned our hearts in to one
We laid in bed all day
Heeey
We skipped on the sidewalk
Skipped stones on the water
We skipped town
We've seen the sunrise with new eyes
We've seen the damage of gossip and true lies
We've seen the sun go down
Had passionate makeouts
And passionate freakouts
We built this world of our own
It was in the back of a taxi
When you told me you loved me
And that I wasnt alone
We've been on the mountain
We've been round the fire
In fancy hotels
Drank water from farm wells
We sang with the choir
I kissed your dry lips
We jumped off the high cliffs
And splashed down below
Skin to skin
In the salty river
Made love in the shadow
Woooah ooh
Read books to each other
Read the mind of the other
Flew one thousand
We laughed and we cried
At movies and real life
In our ridiculous beds
We danced in the moonlight at midnight
We pressed against back doors and wooden floors
And you never faked it
And frequently
We ignored our love
But we could never mistake it
Oooh ooh
We met on the front porch
Fell in love on the phone
Without the physical wreck
You gave me the necklace
That used to hang
Around your mothers neck
We questioned religions
Fed bread to the pigeons
We learned how to pray
We stood by the ocean
Turned our hearts in to one
We laid in bed all day
Heeey
We skipped on the sidewalk
Skipped stones on the water
We skipped town
We've seen the sunrise with new eyes
We've seen the damage of gossip and true lies
We've seen the sun go down
Had passionate makeouts
And passionate freakouts
We built this world of our own
It was in the back of a taxi
When you told me you loved me
And that I wasnt alone
Penny On The Train Track lyrics - ben kweller
I'm just a penny on the train track
Waitin' for my judgement day
Come on baby girl let me see those legs
Before I get flattened away
I wait
Yeah, I wait
For something good, for something great
Stoppin' in somebody's old home town
Gotta get that midnight meal
If you can't get behind your own life
Get behind the driving wheel
And go, just go
Find a place that you don't know
Ran into a friend just the other night
Got a badge, he's a local cop
Haven't seen that boy in over seven years
Since out of high school I dropped
I see, I see
All the things that I should be
Oh baby dance with me!
Even lucky man has a bad day
And pretty girl has a scar
After that train comes and takes me away
Pick up that guitar
And play, just play
Play that rock and roll for me
He's in the yard just washin' his car
Thinkin' 'bout his pretty wife
Makin' lemonade with the kitchen aid
Makin' him a perfect life
And it's grim, so dim
When you wish that you were just like him
I'm just a penny on the train track
Waitin' for my judgement day
Come on baby girl let me see those legs
Before I get flattened away
I wait, I wait
For something good, for something great
And I try, oh I try
I can't stop, I don't know why
Waitin' for my judgement day
Come on baby girl let me see those legs
Before I get flattened away
I wait
Yeah, I wait
For something good, for something great
Stoppin' in somebody's old home town
Gotta get that midnight meal
If you can't get behind your own life
Get behind the driving wheel
And go, just go
Find a place that you don't know
Ran into a friend just the other night
Got a badge, he's a local cop
Haven't seen that boy in over seven years
Since out of high school I dropped
I see, I see
All the things that I should be
Oh baby dance with me!
Even lucky man has a bad day
And pretty girl has a scar
After that train comes and takes me away
Pick up that guitar
And play, just play
Play that rock and roll for me
He's in the yard just washin' his car
Thinkin' 'bout his pretty wife
Makin' lemonade with the kitchen aid
Makin' him a perfect life
And it's grim, so dim
When you wish that you were just like him
I'm just a penny on the train track
Waitin' for my judgement day
Come on baby girl let me see those legs
Before I get flattened away
I wait, I wait
For something good, for something great
And I try, oh I try
I can't stop, I don't know why
I Don't Know Why lyrics - ben kweller
Check me out.
Im losing control.
I wanna rock and roll.
But everything I planed just sliped right through my hand.
I dont know why.
Im a nice guy.
I wanna take it easy baby
But every time I start my world falls apart.
I dont know why.
The world is feelin' like it's passin' me by i'm fixin' to lose it but I dont know why.
Check me in.
I wanna be your friend.
I wanna be your lover baby
But everything I say comes out the wrong way
I dont know why.
So I guess i'll let it slide by.
I wanna take it slowly honey.
I'm feelin' like a fake every move I make.
I dont know why.
The world is feelin' like it's passin' me by i'm fixin' to lose it but I dont know why.
Again and again and again and again I try. im fixin to lose and I dont know why
The world is feelin' like it's passin' me by i'm fixin' to lose it but I dont know why.
Im losing control.
I wanna rock and roll.
But everything I planed just sliped right through my hand.
I dont know why.
Im a nice guy.
I wanna take it easy baby
But every time I start my world falls apart.
I dont know why.
The world is feelin' like it's passin' me by i'm fixin' to lose it but I dont know why.
Check me in.
I wanna be your friend.
I wanna be your lover baby
But everything I say comes out the wrong way
I dont know why.
So I guess i'll let it slide by.
I wanna take it slowly honey.
I'm feelin' like a fake every move I make.
I dont know why.
The world is feelin' like it's passin' me by i'm fixin' to lose it but I dont know why.
Again and again and again and again I try. im fixin to lose and I dont know why
The world is feelin' like it's passin' me by i'm fixin' to lose it but I dont know why.
Magic lyrics - ben kweller
Half moon
Crossed eyes
Fear is disguised
She carries sadness in her lung
I can hear her
I can run
She'll never be in second place
She'll never be in second place
I see it in her
I hear it in
I feel it in her
I know it's in her
She's magic
Always
Trusting

Walk down
Every road

Of growing old
She'll never be in second place
She'll never be in second place
I see it in her
I hear it in her
I feel it in her
I know it's in her
She's magic

Red Eye lyrics - ben kweller
I'm losing speed
Trying to keep up with you
I'm losing speed
Worrying about you
How long will it take
'Til I can have your heart to break?
Red eye
I'm asking you
Your beautiful fear
Is the Holy Ghost town
Let's close in the road
We used to drive down
How long will it take
'Til I can have your heart to break?
Red eye
I'm asking you
You know I hate the way
Your love don't stay
Red eye
I'm asking you
Your eyelids don't shut
But you don't see me here
When I need to be saved
The queen disappears
How long will it take
'Til I can have your heart to break?
Red eye
I'm asking you
You know I hate the way
Your love don't stay
Red eye
Do you have to have to fly all night
Just to feel all right?
Red eye
I'm asking you
I'm asking you
Trying to keep up with you
I'm losing speed
Worrying about you
How long will it take
'Til I can have your heart to break?
Red eye
I'm asking you
Your beautiful fear
Is the Holy Ghost town
Let's close in the road
We used to drive down
How long will it take
'Til I can have your heart to break?
Red eye
I'm asking you
You know I hate the way
Your love don't stay
Red eye
I'm asking you
Your eyelids don't shut
But you don't see me here
When I need to be saved
The queen disappears
How long will it take
'Til I can have your heart to break?
Red eye
I'm asking you
You know I hate the way
Your love don't stay
Red eye
Do you have to have to fly all night
Just to feel all right?
Red eye
I'm asking you
I'm asking you

This Is War lyrics - ben kweller
I'm a soldier on a battlefield
Got an army on the battlefield
Outnumbered like the Alamo
I don't even want to go
This is war

Always stuck in a daydream
Can't focus on the other team
Hunted you all day and night
Now I'm ready for a fight
This is war

This is war
I can't be your friend
Cuz I got to knock you out
Are you ready for a surprise?
I don't even think you even realize
They say that you're the best
You gotta follow all the rest
This is war
Yeah yeah yeah
This is war
I can't be your friend
Cuz I gotta knock you out
So I can win.
Got an army on the battlefield

I Need You Back Lyrics – Ben Kweller
Take me back when you think that it's good.
It feels worse than they said it would.
You're gone but not forever.
When I know I'm never wanted
I tuck away in my turtle shell.
I've standed on this hex forever.
I need you back, I need you have,
to take away all of my pain and then my fear.
Hey! I need you back.
Like a ghost on his darkest visit,
you got my soul, now baby why is it
gone gone gone? Take it from me.
You are free if you can sleep at night,
you really must be hard if you're feeling alright.
Hey hey hey, we're way uptown, we gotta turn around.
I need you back, I need you here,
to take away all of my pain and then my fear.
Hey! I need you back.
I need you back, I need you here,
to take away all of my pain and then my fear.
Hey! I need you back.
(I'm so lost without you.)
It feels worse than they said it would.
You're gone but not forever.
When I know I'm never wanted
I tuck away in my turtle shell.
I've standed on this hex forever.
I need you back, I need you have,
to take away all of my pain and then my fear.
Hey! I need you back.
Like a ghost on his darkest visit,
you got my soul, now baby why is it
gone gone gone? Take it from me.
You are free if you can sleep at night,
you really must be hard if you're feeling alright.
Hey hey hey, we're way uptown, we gotta turn around.
I need you back, I need you here,
to take away all of my pain and then my fear.
Hey! I need you back.
I need you back, I need you here,
to take away all of my pain and then my fear.
Hey! I need you back.
(I'm so lost without you.)
Hospital Bed Lyrics – Ben Kweller
La la la la la.
We are jus ta sexual making me an alcoholic relation.
Words hit much harder than bullets from a gun,
a shovel to the skull, a stab in the spine.
Be my valentine, you don't have to say much.
This machine is so mature, it's so much your type.
(boy) "You be Betty!"
(girl) "I'll be Betty!"
(boy) "I'll play Joe!"
(girl) "You play Joe!"
We'll crawl out of my window, honey,
and in the morning I'm out of my head,
I wish I was sleeping In your hospital bed.
Give me some time to get on your mind.
La la la la la.
Hey, come on down to my world.
The memories enhance the way that you feel.
I wanna get right back down but you're moving so fast,
and I wanna be everywhere twice.
This machine is so mature, it's so much your type.
(boy) "You be Betty!"
(girl) "I'll be Betty!"
(boy) "I'll play Joe!"
(girl) "You play Joe!"
We'll crawl out of my window, honey,
and in the morning I'm out of my head,
I wish I was sleeping In your hospital bed.
Give me some time to get on your mind.
La la la la. La la la la.
And in the morning I'm out of my head,
I wish I was sleeping In your hospital bed.
Give me some time to get on your mind.
We are jus ta sexual making me an alcoholic relation.
Words hit much harder than bullets from a gun,

My Apartment Lyrics – Ben Kweller
Sometimes I wish I had a farm
Where the only pollution is your cigarettes
Where your mind is clear.
But I like it here in my small space.
New York's the place where the sidewalks know my face
As I walk to
My apartment, the home where I hide
Away from all the darkness outside.
I'm there all the time.
Bikes ride to the park and city pools.
It's summer now; empty the school.
Fly home to my cat on the F train.
I'm protected from pain
When I'm in
My apartment, the home where I hide
Away from all the darkness outside.
I'm there all the time.
I'm there in my apartment, the home where I hide
Away from all the darkness outside.
I'm there all the time
Where the only pollution is your cigarettes
Where your mind is clear.
But I like it here in my small space.
New York's the place where the sidewalks know my face
As I walk to
My apartment, the home where I hide
Away from all the darkness outside.
I'm there all the time.
Bikes ride to the park and city pools.
It's summer now; empty the school.
Fly home to my cat on the F train.
I'm protected from pain
When I'm in
My apartment, the home where I hide
Away from all the darkness outside.
I'm there all the time.
I'm there in my apartment, the home where I hide
Away from all the darkness outside.
I'm there all the time
On My Way Lyrics – Ben Kweller
I want to kill this man but he turned around and ran.
I'll kill him with karate that I learned in Japan.
He wouldn't see my face. I wouldn't leave a trace.
I wouldn't use a bullet cause a bullet's a disgrace.
Aw, mom, I never thought that I was a murdering man
But tonight I'm on my way.
There's this drawer that I know in a house up the road
That's full of things that are easily sold.
When they go out of town I could go and snoop around
And make myself rich off the things that I found.
Aw, mom, I never thought that I was a stealing man
But tonight I'm on my way.
I was sitting on the bleacher staring at the speaker,
Reading his lips but I could not understand.
So I opened up my ears and clearly I could hear
This detailed story all about a grain of sand.
Aw, mom, I always dreamt of being a good listener
So tonight I'm on my way.
There's this kid you gotta meet. He lives across the street.
He's got spirit and heart. We're ten years apart.
He is up for anything. He can hang with anyone.
He still likes the things we used to think were fun.
Aw, mom, I never thought that I could have a friend
But tonight I'm on my way.
I'm in love with someone who's as pretty as a flower.
Her life give me power so I'm buyin' her a ring.
She makes hats with her hands. She is such an artist.
I'm her biggest fan and I'm teaching her to sing
Aw, mom, I never thought that I could love no one
But tonight I'm on my way.
I'll kill him with karate that I learned in Japan.
He wouldn't see my face. I wouldn't leave a trace.
I wouldn't use a bullet cause a bullet's a disgrace.
Aw, mom, I never thought that I was a murdering man
But tonight I'm on my way.
There's this drawer that I know in a house up the road
That's full of things that are easily sold.
When they go out of town I could go and snoop around
And make myself rich off the things that I found.
Aw, mom, I never thought that I was a stealing man
But tonight I'm on my way.

The Rules Lyrics – Ben Kweller
Years ago I lost my guard.
Ever since it's been hard
Standing up like a man, like a father,
Understand that all I do
Is not enough for myself.
I am tough on myself.
I need to freeze, I need direction, aw please...
Show me all the rules girl,
I just want to get 'em wrong
Show me all the rules girl,
I just want to belong.
First I'm gonna sing my song
I try to do what is right,
I try to win without a fight.
From time to time I turn around
To their gun on the ground.
I try to seek more than this...
A nice smile, a wet kiss.
Don't want to miss what I'm looking for,
But it's behind your door.
Show me all the rules girl,
I just want to get 'em wrong
Show me all the rules girl,
I just want to belong.
Ever since it's been hard
Standing up like a man, like a father,
Understand that all I do
Is not enough for myself.
I am tough on myself.
I need to freeze, I need direction, aw please...
Show me all the rules girl,
I just want to get 'em wrong
Show me all the rules girl,
I just want to belong.
First I'm gonna sing my song
I try to do what is right,
I try to win without a fight.
From time to time I turn around
To their gun on the ground.
I try to seek more than this...
A nice smile, a wet kiss.
Don't want to miss what I'm looking for,
But it's behind your door.
Show me all the rules girl,
I just want to get 'em wrong
Show me all the rules girl,
I just want to belong.
Down Lyrics – Ben Kweller
I am empty and I'm tired
And I'm homesick and inspired.
I can't know everything that you know
'cause I'm learning as I go.
I wanna see your love.
When I wake up I'm the same
'cause I sleep well when I dream away.
Bluebird house on fire like an only child.
I wanna see your love.
When I'm in your arms
Nothing can bring me down.
When I'm in your arms, girl
Nothing can bring me down.
All the fires on the ground
Are laughing with their crackling sound.
I don't fight. I don't scream.
I don't listen to anything.
I wanna see your love.
When I'm in your arms
Nothing can bring me down.
When I'm in your arms, girl
Nothing can bring me down.
I am selfish without you.
I'm over and you're always new.
I'll never let you down from your tower
Or take away your crown.
When I'm in your arms
Nothing can bring me down.
When I'm in your arms, girl
Nothing can bring me down.
Nothing can bring me down.
Nothing can bring me down.
And I'm homesick and inspired.
I can't know everything that you know
'cause I'm learning as I go.
I wanna see your love.
When I wake up I'm the same
'cause I sleep well when I dream away.
Bluebird house on fire like an only child.
I wanna see your love.
When I'm in your arms
Nothing can bring me down.
When I'm in your arms, girl
Nothing can bring me down.
All the fires on the ground
Are laughing with their crackling sound.
I don't fight. I don't scream.
I don't listen to anything.
I wanna see your love.
When I'm in your arms
Nothing can bring me down.
When I'm in your arms, girl
Nothing can bring me down.
I am selfish without you.
I'm over and you're always new.
I'll never let you down from your tower
Or take away your crown.
When I'm in your arms
Nothing can bring me down.
When I'm in your arms, girl
Nothing can bring me down.
Nothing can bring me down.
Nothing can bring me down.
Living Life Lyrics – Ben Kweller
The greenest trees you'll ever see
Are the ones in your mind.
And all the answers and the dreams
Will come to you in time.
Yeah, you are living life
The way you feel.
I know the world around you,
Everyone shares the sky.
You never see darkness,
You are the daylight.
Yeah, you are living life
The way you feel.
Go away with a smile.
Don't forget about your past.
Don't keep yourself from giving.
I am always watching you
Be yourself and stayin' true
'cause it makes me feel like life's worth living.
The way you feel.
I've never minded where you're going,
I know that change is part of you.
I'm not gonna hide anymore, I'm gonna listen to myself
And maybe one day I can be real too.
Yeah, you living life.
Yeah you are, you are living life.
Don't you know that you are living life.
The way you feel.
And that is real.
Are the ones in your mind.
And all the answers and the dreams
Will come to you in time.
Yeah, you are living life
The way you feel.
I know the world around you,
Everyone shares the sky.
You never see darkness,
You are the daylight.
Yeah, you are living life
The way you feel.
Go away with a smile.
Don't forget about your past.
Don't keep yourself from giving.
I am always watching you
Be yourself and stayin' true
'cause it makes me feel like life's worth living.
The way you feel.
I've never minded where you're going,
I know that change is part of you.
I'm not gonna hide anymore, I'm gonna listen to myself
And maybe one day I can be real too.
Yeah, you living life.
Yeah you are, you are living life.
Don't you know that you are living life.
The way you feel.
And that is real.
Ann Disaster Lyrics – Ben Kweller
Ann Disaster make it better,
Make this whole thing come together
With your false alarmin'.
I know what you want,
You want a piece of me.
So we're waiting and not frustrating,
You made a comeback and now you're ready
To attack with our eyes wide open.
I know what you want,
You want a piece of me.
You can tell a thousand lies
But you can't hide or surprise your future.
I know what you want,
You want a piece of me.
Ann Disaster
Ann Disaster
Ann D, come on, Disaster

Make this whole thing come together
With your false alarmin'.

You want a piece of me.
So we're waiting and not frustrating,
You made a comeback and now you're ready
To attack with our eyes wide open.
I know what you want,
You want a piece of me.
You can tell a thousand lies
But you can't hide or surprise your future.
I know what you want,
You want a piece of me.

Believer Lyrics – Ben Kweller
When you're hurt you heal others.
When you're in need you give.
Because of you I am living the most that I can live.
Oh, sweet darling girl
I'm so glad you found me.
Oh, sweet darling girl
Your power surrounds me.
Remember me, don't forget me,
I have something true.
My path is dark, my steps uncertain, unless I walk
With you.
Oh, sweet darling girl
I'm so glad you found me.
Oh, sweet darling girl
Your power surrounds me.
Your power...surrounds me.
You speak to me without speaking.
You touch so I can feel.
With your strength I am stronger, at last I know I'm real.
Oh, sweet darling girl
I'm so glad you found me.
Oh, sweet darling girl
Your power surrounds me.
Your power...Oh...
Whoa... sweet darling girl
I'm so glad you found me.
I'm so glad that you found me, yeah you did
And your power surrounds me.
When you're in need you give.
Because of you I am living the most that I can live.
Oh, sweet darling girl
I'm so glad you found me.
Oh, sweet darling girl
Your power surrounds me.
Remember me, don't forget me,
I have something true.
My path is dark, my steps uncertain, unless I walk
With you.
Oh, sweet darling girl
I'm so glad you found me.
Oh, sweet darling girl
Your power surrounds me.
Your power...surrounds me.
You speak to me without speaking.
You touch so I can feel.
With your strength I am stronger, at last I know I'm real.
Oh, sweet darling girl
I'm so glad you found me.
Oh, sweet darling girl
Your power surrounds me.
Your power...Oh...
Whoa... sweet darling girl
I'm so glad you found me.
I'm so glad that you found me, yeah you did
And your power surrounds me.
Hear Me Out Lyrics – Ben Kweller
Breaking the Rubik's cube.
Making me lose the beat.
Blue jean-baby girl,
We are an apogee
Down in the Christmas tree.
Hear me out,
You don't know I'm here.
I want it all too soon,
Faster than laser beams.
Come on people now,
Take your depressed friends out
They need a love to stay.
Hear me out,
You don't know I'm here.
I wanna come and play
Outside your bedroom gate.
I wanna pick you up.
Blue jean-baby girl,
Take me to outer space.
Phew... I found it now,
All of the common places are in their face.
The world is trapped inside
Taking me for a ride
And I don't know your name.
Hear me out,
You don't know I'm here.
(hear me out)
Making me lose the beat.
Blue jean-baby girl,
We are an apogee
Down in the Christmas tree.
Hear me out,
You don't know I'm here.
I want it all too soon,
Faster than laser beams.
Come on people now,
Take your depressed friends out
They need a love to stay.
Hear me out,
You don't know I'm here.
I wanna come and play
Outside your bedroom gate.
I wanna pick you up.
Blue jean-baby girl,
Take me to outer space.
Phew... I found it now,
All of the common places are in their face.
The world is trapped inside
Taking me for a ride
And I don't know your name.
Hear me out,
You don't know I'm here.
(hear me out)
Different But The Same Lyrics – Ben Kweller
There's no time to phone home when you're
Racing your own time.
We contemplate, you gotta wait your own turn.
Up the noise, with some poison with great poise.
You can't compare it to...
Or let it scare you through...
If every thing you do is not as smoothly as we planned.
You gotta understand there is more for you.
But all you gotta do is put yourself with the people,
They're the ones who make the world spin.
Lust in favor, you can win.
And you'll take home the gold medallion
And ride the wobbly wave of fame.
That is why you came
To your senses to feel it out
And try to kill off every doubt.
Your mother worries but no one worries quite like you,
And when you start you must rely on your own heart.
'Cause nothing works the same
or takes the blame or wins the game
with your head in your hands in the pouring rain.
I wanna see you as you are
Like a lonely star.
There is more for you.
But all you gotta do is put yourself with the people,
They're the ones who make the world spin.
Lust in favor, you can win.
And you'll take home the gold medallion
And ride the wobbly wave of fame.
That is why you came
You gotta be strong, you gotta teach your son
How to stand up straight when you want to run,
How to care and love, how to be yourself,
To be different but the same.
Racing your own time.
We contemplate, you gotta wait your own turn.
Up the noise, with some poison with great poise.
You can't compare it to...
Or let it scare you through...
If every thing you do is not as smoothly as we planned.
You gotta understand there is more for you.
But all you gotta do is put yourself with the people,
They're the ones who make the world spin.
Lust in favor, you can win.
And you'll take home the gold medallion
And ride the wobbly wave of fame.
That is why you came
To your senses to feel it out
And try to kill off every doubt.
Your mother worries but no one worries quite like you,
And when you start you must rely on your own heart.
'Cause nothing works the same
or takes the blame or wins the game
with your head in your hands in the pouring rain.
I wanna see you as you are
Like a lonely star.
There is more for you.
But all you gotta do is put yourself with the people,
They're the ones who make the world spin.
Lust in favor, you can win.
And you'll take home the gold medallion
And ride the wobbly wave of fame.
That is why you came
You gotta be strong, you gotta teach your son
How to stand up straight when you want to run,
How to care and love, how to be yourself,
To be different but the same.
Launch Ramp Lyrics - Ben Kweller
Go!
Tack giant mushrooms to all of the bedrooms
Go yo, to the streets
Impedence with selection
I survey nocturnal thought
As we drive home
Hey, she won
Do do do, do do do
Hey, she won
Do do do, do do do
You're just a vacuum tube down in the basement
Thats of course the game i'm playin
While my heart goes to the almighty
Solidize my internal thought
As we drive home
(you can't tell me, you can't tell me)
Hey, she won
Do do do, do do do
Hey, she won
Do do do, do do do
You're no fun
Do do do, do do do
Since you won
Do do do, do do do...
Tack giant mushrooms to all of the bedrooms
Go yo, to the streets
Impedence with selection
I survey nocturnal thought
As we drive home
Hey, she won
Do do do, do do do
Hey, she won
Do do do, do do do
You're just a vacuum tube down in the basement
Thats of course the game i'm playin
While my heart goes to the almighty
Solidize my internal thought
As we drive home
(you can't tell me, you can't tell me)
Hey, she won
Do do do, do do do
Hey, she won
Do do do, do do do
You're no fun
Do do do, do do do
Since you won
Do do do, do do do...
How It Should Be (Sha Sha) Lyrics - Ben Kweller
when i was a movie star, an asteroid had hit the earth and prematurely ended my career. i thought out loud, but no one heard me saying:
"nothing isn't nothing, nothing's something that's important to me. that's right. and everyone's a little nothing, that's ok, that's how it should
be."
that's right. that's right. sha sha. sha doo.
when i was an astronaut, i bought a fancy charm. i thought you liked it but you called it cheap and at my feet it felt like:
"so sue me, it's up to me if i decide to be what i think is right. and don't bother me when i'm watching 'planet of the apes' on t.v."
that's right. that's how it should be. sha sha. sha doo.
"so sue me, it's up to me if i decide to be what i think is right. the sound, it found the ground and it hid it for free."
that's right. that's how it should be. sha sha. sha doo.

Debbie Don't Worry Doll Lyrics - Ben Kweller
Darling come here i need to talk to you
My mama's ill so i'm going back to texas
We can only afford but one bus ticket
You know i might be gone for some time
Debbie don't worry doll cause you'll always be mine
Cry on my tummy and be understanding (understand me now)
You know things like this just don't allow planning
But let me tell you we're never apart
Cause you live in my heart
And i still get lonely
But i know we'll be fine (we'll be fine)
Cause you'll always be mine
I hate a-knowing i must be going
My mama's dying she's a-crying "help me"
I gotta go "no ben no, what if you find a new love in the heartland?"
Oh come on baby, i'm not that kind of man
And you'll always be mine
"i'm not believing you're a-leaving
Whom i'm holding when i get cold in december?
I love you what if you never do come back at all?"
Debbie don't worry doll, hey i love you and that's all
You know that we'll be fine (we'll be fine)
And you'll always be mine
You're the best girl of all time and you'll always be mine
My mama's ill so i'm going back to texas
We can only afford but one bus ticket

Harriet's Got A Song Lyrics - Ben Kweller
I don't stand a chance in this fucked-up world.
New school took romance and messed it up real bad.
But your brand new eyes shrink me to a size.
Make it hard to see my reality.
You say I'm blind.
I think you're wrong.
Harriet's got a song.
When we combine
Nothing goes wrong.
Harriet's got a song.
Scare myself sometimes. Lead me to the light.
Pet and let me know it'll be alright.
Watch me dive right into the shallow end.
"Won't you be my friend? Won't you be my neighbor?"
You say I'm blind.
I think you're wrong.
Harriet's got a song.
When we combine
Nothing goes wrong.
Harriet's got a song.
Do do do do...
Going off on me. Not only can I see,
memorized your scent, everywhere you went.
Join our Wiccan church. Blaze the Satchel Perch.
Everywhere you go - 100%.
You say I'm blind.
I think you're wrong.
Harriet's got a song.
When we collide
Nothing goes wrong.
Harriet's got a song...got a song.
New school took romance and messed it up real bad.
But your brand new eyes shrink me to a size.
Make it hard to see my reality.
You say I'm blind.
I think you're wrong.
Harriet's got a song.
When we combine
Nothing goes wrong.
Harriet's got a song.
Scare myself sometimes. Lead me to the light.

Falling Lyrics - Ben Kweller
Wind is cold alright back in Dallas. The neon light from the building lets
you know you're home.
You'd go way back when if you wanted to be my friend or you'd call me. I'd
understand, it's true.
I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling down.
Just say "hello" to the ground.
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Wait there, I'll be right back. Down in Times Square it's a heart attack.
All the feeling makes you feel so new.
Trees fall and so do men. Even the walls start caving in and you feel like
there's no pretend for you.
BUt I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling down.
Just say "hello" to the ground.
We could talk if days weren't so fast,
and mistakes just leave it so unsure.
Wanna hold you like never before
'case we're falling and I love you more and more.
Do you feel like you're falling down?
Do you feel like you're falling down?
I don't feel like I'm falling-falling-falling down.
I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling.

Make It Up Lyrics - Ben Kweller
I need a new direction to get me around.
You don't have protection as you're coming down.
Light my white candle keep me safe.
It'll put that smile back on my face, ya.
Have you made up your mind?
It's the only way.
Have you made it up? Have you made it up?
I admire the time that you take.
Have you made it up? Have you made it up?
I still think we should meditate.
I need a good luck charm to give me good luck.
I need a good alarm to wake me up.
Light my white candle keep me safe.
It'll put that smile back on my face, ya.
Have you made up your mind?
It's the only way.
Have you made it up? Have you made it up?
I admire the time that you take.
Have you made it up? Have you made it up?
You don't tell me about what's going on.
Fucking make up your mind, stop dragging it on.
They're only words, they don't hurt.
We can't even look into our eyes.
We're not the same inside.
We can let it change our lives can braid.
We're constantly afraid.
We can't even look into our eyes.
We're not the same inside.
Go sing your songs, try something new.
I hope you find what's right for you.
Have you made it up? Have you made it?
Have you made up your mind?
It's the only way.
Have you made it up? Have you made it up?
I admire the time that you take.
Have you made it up? Have you made it up?
I still think we should meditate.
You don't have protection as you're coming down.
Light my white candle keep me safe.
It'll put that smile back on my face, ya.
Have you made up your mind?

No Reason Lyrics - Ben Kweller
Let me get lost.
I'll drive you around 'till I run out of gas.
Find me a boss.
There are ripples in my tea cause an
earthquake's coming.
And there's people meeting on Mars.
And people driving in their cars.
And kids are laughing under the stars today.
Let me go hide.
Find a box to put BK inside.
Things are so well.
We're blowing shit up only you could tell.
And there's people meeting on Mars.
And people driving in their cars.
And kids are sleeping under the stars today.
no reason reason
There's no reason reason
There's no reason reason
There's no reason to cry.
I'm going against
Every person that I once walked sith.
Things are happening.
My cat is sleeping and my jade tree's dying.
And there's people meeting on Mars.
And people crashing in their cars.
And kids are kissing under the stars today.

There's no reason reason
There's no reason reason
There's no reason...

There's no reason reason
There's no reason reason
There's no reason to cry. (say goodbye)
I'll drive you around 'till I run out of gas.
Find me a boss.
There are ripples in my tea cause an
earthquake's coming.
And there's people meeting on Mars.
And people driving in their cars.
And kids are laughing under the stars today.
Let me go hide.
Find a box to put BK inside.
Things are so well.
We're blowing shit up only you could tell.
And there's people meeting on Mars.
And people driving in their cars.
And kids are sleeping under the stars today.

Lizzy Lyrics - Ben Kweller
sign me up, i volunteer
votes are in for lifeguard of the year
her feline past lives are plain to see
their similarities are shown in this life again
like mama said, dontcha let it go to your head
when ya know you're being fed

we will wake when kitty licks
and in the morn, work takes her to maine

tomorrow is the first time liz can't board my plane
like mama said, dontcha let it go to your head
when ya know your book is read
i'm so proud to know you
anna will take me to the port
as liz drives up i-95

How It Should Be (Sha Sha) Lyrics - Ben Kweller
when i was a movie star, an asteroid had hit the earth and prematurely ended my career. i thought out loud, but no one heard me saying:
"nothing isn't nothing, nothing's something that's important to me. that's right. and everyone's a little nothing, that's ok, that's how it should
be."
that's right. that's right. sha sha. sha doo.
when i was an astronaut, i bought a fancy charm. i thought you liked it but you called it cheap and at my feet it felt like:
"so sue me, it's up to me if i decide to be what i think is right. and don't bother me when i'm watching 'planet of the apes' on t.v."
that's right. that's how it should be. sha sha. sha doo.
"so sue me, it's up to me if i decide to be what i think is right. the sound, it found the ground and it hid it for free."
that's right. that's how it should be. sha sha. sha doo.

Wasted & Ready Lyrics - Ben Kweller
Force field super shield AA.
Junior high love affair is OK.
Jump on the big wagon cause I'm so Cal.
I'm big in every way. I'm running as fast as I can.
She goes above and beyond her call of duty.
She is a slut but X thinks it's sexy.
Sex reminds her of eating spaghetti.
I am wasted but I'm ready.
If you wanna move it so,
why don't you make it go.
Prove to everybody who doesn't understand.
All the nights, all the fights. You are out of sight.
Some say more with their hand. I'm running as fast as I can.
She goes above and beyond her call of duty.
She is a slut but X thinks it's sexy.
Sex reminds her of eating spaghetti.
I am wasted but I'm ready.
I am wasted but I'm ready. I am wasted but I'm ready.
Running as fast as I can. Running as fast as I can.
Why am I dealing with this feeling?
I'm maxed out like a credit card.
I'll continue to be my worst enemy.
It's easy but it seems so hard.
You're near but you seem so far.
She goes above and beyond her call of duty.
She is a slut but X thinks it's sexy.
Sex reminds her of eating spaghetti.
I am wasted but I'm ready.
She goes above and beyond her call of duty.
She is a slut but X thinks it's sexy.
Sex reminds her of eating spaghetti.
I am wasted but I'm ready.
I am wasted but I'm ready.
Running as fast as I can.
Junior high love affair is OK.
Jump on the big wagon cause I'm so Cal.

Family Tree Lyrics - Ben Kweller
Bop bop.
Care about the moonlight
and holding you tight
and asking my questions.
Everyone loves a situation.
Long walks on the beach.
The press will impeach.
Lately I'm finding
I am the book and you are the binding.
I guess they'll read everything about you.
Though the press might shoot me down I'm still true.
I sell my book for free. That's what you do to me.
Oh, you are my family tree.
Be good to me
Take care of me.
Bop bop.
There's hotels in the sea,
Trash in the sky.,
The net-dustry's growing.
Stick to love songs kid, that's all you're knowing.
They push you away
or tie you up.
It don't really matter.
But if your head is up you won't get much sadder.
But who am I to preach a word or two
when I can't lift my own head without you?
If my mental state kept you from coming around
I hope the world would shoot me down for losing you.
A broken branch I'd be if you weren't grown to me.
Oh, you are my family tree.
Be good to me.
Be good to me.
Be good to me.
Take care of me.
Bop bop.
Care about the moonlight
and holding you tight
and asking my questions.
Everyone loves a situation.
Long walks on the beach.

Commerce, Tx Lyrics - Ben Kweller
i got a bad flavor
i got dirty clothes
i got a strange neighbor
who doesn't have curtains on her windows
i got a pet hedgehog
drinkin' jaeger all day
you got me crate combo and a baby on the way
but it's ok
it's gonna take a lot of time
before i can cross that finish line
and when i can't take the fall
i really wanna make that call
ooh ooh ooh ooh ah ah ah
that's my new best friend
ann disaster's her name
we're passin' out on the carpet
and our attributes are the same
it's the slacker lifestyle
that we do so well
bills are due on monday
i'm oblivious, can't you tell
it's gonna take a lot of time
before i can cross that finish line
and when i can't take the fall
i really wanna make that call
my brain is super-fried
it involves pain to look inside
it's gonna take a lot of time
before i can cross that finish line
and when i can't take the fall
i really wanna make that call
i got dirty clothes
i got a strange neighbor
who doesn't have curtains on her windows
i got a pet hedgehog
drinkin' jaeger all day
you got me crate combo and a baby on the way
but it's ok
it's gonna take a lot of time
before i can cross that finish line
and when i can't take the fall
i really wanna make that call
ooh ooh ooh ooh ah ah ah
that's my new best friend
ann disaster's her name
we're passin' out on the carpet
and our attributes are the same
it's the slacker lifestyle
that we do so well
bills are due on monday
i'm oblivious, can't you tell
it's gonna take a lot of time
before i can cross that finish line
and when i can't take the fall
i really wanna make that call
my brain is super-fried
it involves pain to look inside
it's gonna take a lot of time
before i can cross that finish line
and when i can't take the fall
i really wanna make that call
In Other Words Lyrics - Ben Kweller
Another night slips away
In other words i should say
There are no words he should say
There are no words
In his eyes i see the fear
That only time could disappear
If only time could re-appear
Now's the time
Somethin' to take it away to take it away to take it
Don't let it stay don't let it stay don't let it
The butterflies are passive aggressive and put their problems on the shelf but they're beautiful
He'll realize the only thing thats real are the kids that kid themselves and the demise of the beautiful
What is beautiful?
The multi-life is better than
The one we're in the one we knew
Cause everyone is seein' through everyone
They're steppin' on
His gold terrain
He's movin' on with bold refrain
His blatantly old campaign
Is movin' on
Somethin' to take it away to take it away to take it
Don't let it stay don't let it stay don't let it
The butterflies are passive aggressive and put their problems on the shelf but they're beautiful
He'll realize the only thing thats real are the kids that kid themselves and the demise of the beautiful
What is beautiful?
What can't stay goes away
It starts stopping when it stops stopping
In other words i should say
There are no words he should say
There are no words
In his eyes i see the fear
That only time could disappear
If only time could re-appear
Now's the time
Somethin' to take it away to take it away to take it
Don't let it stay don't let it stay don't let it
The butterflies are passive aggressive and put their problems on the shelf but they're beautiful
He'll realize the only thing thats real are the kids that kid themselves and the demise of the beautiful
What is beautiful?
The multi-life is better than
The one we're in the one we knew
Cause everyone is seein' through everyone
They're steppin' on
His gold terrain
He's movin' on with bold refrain
His blatantly old campaign
Is movin' on
Somethin' to take it away to take it away to take it
Don't let it stay don't let it stay don't let it
The butterflies are passive aggressive and put their problems on the shelf but they're beautiful
He'll realize the only thing thats real are the kids that kid themselves and the demise of the beautiful
What is beautiful?
What can't stay goes away
It starts stopping when it stops stopping
I Quit Lyrics - Ben Kweller
Talk to the people with your hands
Come prize new mountains with your friends
The fireflies out ahead
They want it now
They want it dead
Look across the land
At your mountains through the fence
If i can't be where i am
I wanna quit
Oh let me tell you bout it
Inside this world you're trying to form
Will there be next times anymore?
The train is leaving
It's always gone
I'm not holding out
I'm holding on
I look across the land
As i fight to understand
I just want to hold her hand
Before i quit
Oh let me tell you bout it
Look across the land
As i fight to understand
I just want to hold a hand
Before i quit
Oh let me tell you bout it
If your world should fall, honey
Don't hesitate to call, honey
Someone who never cared at all
Before you quit
Oh let me tell you bout it
Oh let me tell you bout it
Come prize new mountains with your friends
The fireflies out ahead
They want it now
They want it dead
Look across the land
At your mountains through the fence
If i can't be where i am
I wanna quit
Oh let me tell you bout it
Inside this world you're trying to form
Will there be next times anymore?
The train is leaving
It's always gone
I'm not holding out
I'm holding on
I look across the land
As i fight to understand
I just want to hold her hand
Before i quit
Oh let me tell you bout it
Look across the land
As i fight to understand
I just want to hold a hand
Before i quit
Oh let me tell you bout it
If your world should fall, honey
Don't hesitate to call, honey
Someone who never cared at all
Before you quit
Oh let me tell you bout it
Oh let me tell you bout it
