A Man Amongst Gentlemen

I guess I'm over you, I'm over you
I'm going to lay with every girl that I meet
I guess I'm over you, over you
I'm warning that the words I say are bittersweet
Stop writing me and losing sleep
Do you think I'll crawl right back to your bed
You should get over me, it's plain to see
I'm bad for your soul
Maybe I'm a little bit selfish
Oh my lord, I'm letting you down
Something's gotta give before I give you up
Maybe I'm a little bit scared of love
You were an easy catch with baited breath
You trusted that you would be mine
Promised til the end of time
At least until I went and changed my mind
Stop writing me and losing sleep
Lose the picture cased and hung 'round your neck
You should get over me it's plain to see
I'm up to no good

Hands To The Ceiling

Ooh, let me begin
My mind wants to sin
My innocence stolen
Ooh, shake me awake
Love burned at the stake
You caught me wide open now
Maybe I'm cursed with doubt
A feeling I can't shake off
Show me you're hip to it
I'll find my way around
I've made mistakes by telling you the truth
So good at everything I do
If your lungs are breathing
Hands to the ceiling
No, leave me alive
I'll apologize, I'll try not to offend you
Nobody can see
My hands on your knees
You've doubled me over now
If your lungs are breathing
Hands to the ceiling
If your soul is leaving
An your body's beating on

Who's going to tell me I'm wrong
When I'm careless
Who's going to pick out my flaws
When you do it so well
Everyone says to get over it
Oh I know I should
But I'm losing my cool
Yes, I'm losing it all to you
Hoping the best will get better
Maybe I'm not right
But I'll be just fine
Back home without you
We'll make brand new friends
I've been proud of you
Since you got out of this town alive
Write down my name
On a post card next summer
Read black and white
Like a paperback cover
I'm on your mind
Til the years pass us by
Hold me, touch me,
Never let me go until I'm gone
I'm sorry, I know it's my fault

Only You
03:13

Listen, love
My valentine
Cold hands to warm soft lips on mine
I can't believe my voice pushed through
A line of thieves to steal my view of...
Only you
Make believe there's no one here
Say what you mean
This seems too real
I can't believe my voice pushed through
A wall of lights
To blind my view of...
Only you

The (Pretty) Good Life

"The (Pretty) Good Life" Ringtone to your Cell
I've got a million records you've never heard
With movie posters I stole from work
I've got my dad's old car that I'll drive til it dies
I got shut down hard by a virgin last night
But it's alright those were the best times I've ever had
Yea, it's all good there's nothing that I would take back
So hold on, right now
I'm a loser but I know how to get down
See it's funny how you met me
Standing out in the rain on a thursday
Here's to late nights, here's to long drives
There we are chasing dreams of a good life now
It makes me wonder how I'm still around
I've called in sick a thousand times
To hang with girls I thought I liked
With no plans worked out
And a pull out couch
I believe I've arrived
I fell to my knees when I heard the key
Of my favorite artist sing
It was alright
Because they were the best times

Hold Your Ground
03:45

I've had a history of metaphors
Cleaned up my tongue to seem more intellectual
Don't say you wish that we'd be
Together because it's not that easy
They're on to us
If you want honesty
Don't look towards me
Nobody can feel like i feel
I believe that they know what's real
Help me see we're one in a million now
And I'll aways know we held our ground
Slip into something hot but never comfortable
You spilled your dignity on motel bathroom floors
Don't say you wish that I was
Everything you've always dreamed of
We're picking up where we left off
Before you tear my heart apart
Let me know before I go

So Far
03:23

When you're feeling alone
You'll call me up on the phone
Close up your eyes and pretend
That I'm home
So lucky to call you my own
Where will you be tonight
We'll be sharing a dance in my mind
That beautiful smile must be seen
What a sight
Stay warm
Stay safe
Say goodnight
Don't don't don't ever leave...
Don't don't don't ever leave me
Hold me close to your heart
Firelight lit by a spark
So much to say, I don't know where
To start
So perfect yet so far apart
