Quick, Brain 03:22
Traffic lights give me time To relive my entire life Reciting words I wish I had Instead of all the things I said License plate, you read my lips Just telling it like it is Every night another chance To get it right and hit the gas Quick, brain Think, brain What would a human say? Quit it, heart We don't want You getting in the way But you try Still you try And you try Though you might be right, stay quiet Telephone, you're startling Don't want to know who's calling in Anxiety is on the line Waiting for a reason why Dial tone Hold my breath Just let me know when they've left It's way too late to give a fuck But I just can't hang it up Quick, brain Think, brain What would a human say? Quit it, heart We don't want You getting in the way But you try Still you try And you try Though you might be right after all The more I think, The less I'm feeling anything The more I speak, The less I'm saying anything Quick, brain Think, brain What would the real me say? Quick, heart Kick start You better lead the way Quick, brain Think, brain Quick, heart Kick start You better lead the way But you try Still you try And you try Though you might be right after all

Got Me Good 02:52
Got this whole life ahead of me Well, maybe half if I'm lucky Boy, I hope I get this thing right For your sake and mine It took a while to become this guy But nonetheless, we were right on time I'm ready to release my past If you're ready for this universe How time flies by So long, everything I thought I wanted Turns out everything I need I got it Yeah, you got me good Youth is wasted all on the young Or so it seems when you're hanging on Old man, you should be home in bed Waiting to disintegrate Then you open your eyes Look right through me This is real life And there's so much more to see How time flies So long, everything I thought I wanted Turns out everything I need I got it Yeah, you got me good Not sure where I might end up Or if I'd ever even make it through But with your arrival departs any doubt That I am here for good Got this whole life ahead of me And now I see that I'm lucky Boy, I'm slowly figuring out Got to make every day count So long, everything I thought I wanted Turns out everything I need I got it Yeah, you got me good So long, everything I thought I wanted I was so wrong, you're everything I need I get it Looks like you got me Good

Everyone's growing up I'm just growing old and tired and scruff My hair is getting thin My belly's getting fat I suck in. And yeah, I still play guitar Even though it's clear now banjos are The craze with all the kids Plucking mandolins is hot Fuck auxiliary floor toms I'm so irrelevant Still banging my head I may be obsolete But at least I am still me I'll never be mature Same haircut I've had since '94 When I tried to grow it long Dad marched me down to the salon May have screwed me up But was he wrong? I'm so irrelevant Still banging my head I may be obsolete But at least I am still me Finger on the pulse of Nothing that is awesome Can't pretend I lost touch When I never even made contact I still like distortion And songs with a chorus At least I'm consistent But does that count for anything? No. I'm so irrelevant Still banging my head I may be obsolete But at least I am still me

Digging up the past Not the best idea Stirring up some things I never knew were there Hanging by a thread To who we used to be When I really think back Were we really so bad? Good ole days Not quite like I remember How time finds ways To make me believe that we were So in love Or so it seemed Well so much for memories Laying in the snow We never felt this cold Going through the motions Just a couple angelic fools Frozen back in time Though we melted long ago But when I really think back Were we really so bad? Good ole days Not quite like I remember How time finds ways To make me believe that we were So in love Or so it seemed Well so much for you and me Dreams are a sad reminder Pathetic romanticizer Me holding on for you We just got tired of feeling Our love finally hit the ceiling Then we'd fall asleep on the telephone again When I really think back Were we really so bad? If I never look back Maybe I can get past those Good ole days Not quite like I remember How time finds ways To make me believe that we were So in love Or so it seemed Well so much for memories

I used to know it all Until I smartened up Still learning how To keep my mouth shut And as the years escape I've yet to accept That there's more adding up Than shitloads of debt Feeling lost Left in the dark But I'm better off Not knowing if I'll ever find my way Not knowing if today may be the day Not knowing how it feels to fall in love Not knowing keeps me holding on I thought I'd heard it all Until I listened up When maybe I ought To keep my ears shut I will never make All the pieces fit But the harder I push The luckier I get Feeling lost Left in the dark But I'm better off Not knowing if I'll ever find my way Not knowing if today may be the day Not knowing how it feels to fall in love Not knowing keeps me holding on Not knowing keeps me going strong Keeps me hoping, keeps me holding on and on The not knowing keeps me coming back for more

Slip Away 02:48
This voice of reason Is sounding more Like a choir So I guess I'm though with dreaming That's how it seemed when I slammed that door Man, I was burnt out But now I'm back to believing I might get something right If I could just close my eyes Ignore what my instincts say And just slip away So I'm letting go Expectations low Just having fun Remember fun? Oh I'm letting go Gonna take it slow And just see what comes This over-thinker Dissects to death Heels over head Had me hook, line and sinker So I took a breather Just needed time To remember why I used to be that dreamer I might get something right If I could just close my eyes Ignore what my instincts say And just slip away So I'm letting go Expectations low Just having fun Remember fun? Oh I'm letting go Gonna take it slow And just see what comes Maybe I've seen too much now How can I pretend that there is still hope When I lost the point so goddamn long ago So here I go Gonna Slip Away I might get something right If I could just close my eyes Ignore every word I hear And have no fear So I'm letting go Expectations low Just having fun Remember fun? Oh I'm letting go Gonna take it slow And just see what comes
