Change Me

I know that
My summertime blues
Will hit me soon
Just before the 24th
I know you
Will feel it too
Maybe it's a fear
Of open doors
Maybe it's the thought
Of open war
That slows me down
Maybe it's the
Funny look on your face
And maybe it's just
The human race
I've never been one to hear
Things people tell me
Things people show me
Think that they know me
They think they can
Change me
I've never been one to hear
Things people tell me
Things people show me
Think that they know me
They think they can
Change me
Maybe it's a part of
Letting go
Maybe it's worse
Than I could know
I'll be there soon
Maybe it's the
Empty look
In your eyes
And maybe
Everything we're told
Is lies
I've never been one to hear
Things people tell me
Things people show me
Think that they know me
They think they can
Change me
I've never been one to hear
Things people tell me
Things people show me
Think that they know me
They think they can
Change me
I've never been one to hear
Things people tell me
Things people show me
Think that they know me
They think they can
Change me
I've never been one to hear
Things people tell me
Things people show me
Think that they know me
They think they can
Change me

Getting Over Alia

Getting over Alia
Took a long time
And I used to think
That I was strong
Getting over Alia
Took all day
Even though I knew
That I was wrong
It should come
As no surprise
These Russian girls
Will hypnotize you
She made me act
Like a child
Back in high school
Though she didn't
Know it at the time
Getting over Alia
Left me helpless
And then the vultures
PIcked apart my mind
It should come
As no surprise
These Russian girls
Will hypnotize you
Just be sure to
Close your eyes and
Don't be scared
By your own cries
Getting over Alia
Was a dark day for me
Getting over Alia
Was a sad tune
Getting over Alia
Left me broken

It seems so unfair
One minute I'm there
I work up the
Nerve to try
And then I
Say goodbye
I've barely said hello
To this girl
And now I say
Goodbye to this world
This feeling so intense
I let down my defence
It's a question
Never asked
It's a love
That cannot last
I've barely said hello
To this girl
And now I say
Goodbye to this world
I've barely said hello
To this girl
And now I say
Goodbye to this world
And now I really know
Why people cry

Kick Your Car II
02:35
|

|
I'm not gonna do it
Like your girlfriend
Showed me
I'm not gonna go
Where your momma
Told me
I'm gonna take
These shoes
To wherever you are
And kick your car
Yeah kick your car
I had my way
With a plastic pony
I may be drunk
But I'm not phoney
I'm gonna take
These shoes
To wherever you are
And kick your car
Yeah kick your car
I'll walk these shoes
Across the face
Of all the girls
You like to chase
And then
Steal your car
Steal your car
I'm gonna take
These shoes
To wherever you are
And kick your car
Yeah kick your car
I'll walk these shoes
Across the face
Of all the girls
You like to chase
And then
Steal your car
Steal your car
And pee on your car
Fast as I can
Fast as I can

Stepping Out
02:48
|

So you want me
To sing a song
About my love
But you're
Just a girl
That don't call me
I want you to
Sing along
Along with me now
Cause you're
Just a girl
That can't have me
And I'll shock you now
As I back away
I've been here before
And I'm getting out
So you think
That you have it hard
Cause Dave cheated
But you're
Just a girl
That don't need him
And I'll shock you now
As I back away
I've been here before
And I'm getting out
So have your song
And eat it too
As I'm stepping out
Of the way from you
I wanna go on alone

Don't tell me
That you love me
Cause you don't
Know what love is
Don't tell me
That you need me
Cause you don't
Wanna please me
Don't act like
You're the victim
Cause you don't
Know what pain is
Don't tell me
That it's over
Cause you don't
Really mean it
I want you to forget
How you felt
Before
I need you
To understand
What I mean
Don't treat me
Like a lover
Cause all I am
Is filler
I want you
Disappointed
When I'm not there
To hold you
I want you to forget
How you felt
Before
I need you
To understand
What I mean
I want you
To decide
How you feel
Inside
And my heart
Wants the answer
By 5 to 9

Waiting II
02:34
|
|||
|
My waking hours
Seem shorter
I'm hanging
On the border
What is real
Slips further
To a place
Beneath her
And I'm waiting
Will she look down?
In a sleepless journey
She starts to hurt me
My strained emotions
Are causing
Explosions
And I'm waiting
Will she look down?
I'm contemplating
Will she let me drown?
And if I kissed her
Then she would
Understand
How much
I've missed her
Lonely as I am
And I'm waiting
Will she look down?
I'm contemplating
Will she let me drown?

The Anti-Love
03:12
|

|
The problem with girls
Is they're beautiful
And no two girls
Are the same
Often I think that
I've found the one
When really to her
It's just a game
These are the songs
Of the Anti-Love
I'm trying to understand
And make sense of
The problem with girls
Is they smell so good
Making it hard
To stay away
Could this be love
That I'm dreaming of
Or some old drug
That's so insane
These are the songs
Of the Anti-Love
I'm trying to understand
And make sense of
It's time to set aside
This broken heart
Turning these
Lessons learned
Into art
The problem with girls
Is they're onto me
The problem with girls
Is they know the score
These are the songs
Of the Anti-Love
I'm trying to understand
And make sense of
It's time to set aside
This broken heart
Turning these
Lessons learned
Into art

Two More Inches
03:00
|
|||
|
I was the one
Who broke us
I don't think
Sometimes
I just needed
A break from you
I didn't realize
You'd give it up
So enthusiastic
He thinks of you
As a piece of plastic
Tell me truly does
Two more inches
Make that much
Difference
Tell me truly does
Two more inches
Scratch your itches
You were the one
That always told me
You like to drink
Sometimes
I don't mind if
You enjoy it
Just like I like mine
We were the kind that
Could have lasted
Maybe our whole lives
So what you are saying
Is Dan's into playing
But you enjoy his size
You give it up
So enthusiastic
He thinks of you
As a piece of plastic
Tell me truly does
Two more inches
Make that much
Difference
Tell me truly does
Two more inches
Scratch your itches
