I want to ride in the back of your comanche
While we tumble down the road to your old country home
And i'm finally just starting to realize why you moved up here in the first place
Because now your all alone
So you picked up your roots
And took a break from harm
You released the emptiness that sits in jam jars
And you get away from that fucking heroin
And find yourself happier then you've ever been
So I want to ride in the back of your comanche
And we'll laugh as we bump and scrape all our knees
And you'll turn to me your smile never wider
And turn up that Cash as he croons and sings
I want to ride

Longest month of my life so far January 22
I don't know what to do, no I don't know what to do
So you can follow me down winding streets
It's nearly raining and there is fireworks
Kiss me softly gently parting freaking out its 5 AM
Did I fuck up? Did I throw up? I thought this year had just began?
And here I am lying awake body sinking further
Is this a heart attack or heart break?
I'm shedding a layer finally
A long overgrown moment in need
I'm staring at your tigerstone eyes
I'm remembering I have to say goodbye
Goodbye
To my home now a house
Just a memory drifting pass it's almost as if this can't last
Last
Now I'm packing up the truck now one more time
I'm leaving Philly for the first time
Time
So hold me closely and watch me kindly
I am learning to walk again
New big city bright new lights
It's almost as if this new year might be alright

I was pretty bad for you and you were really bad for me
And sure it took some time for us to realize cold reality
I'm gonna head outside cuz I just might pass out
There's no room for me to think in the crowded little house, and I can't handle
Oh, my God, not another awkward encounter
Oh, my God, my anxieties are in the gutter
Oh, my God, I think I need another cigarette
I think I need another cigarette
What you never understood was that my heart was somewhere far
Away through the woods and over the plains, where my family members are
But you'll never understand because that bridge was burnt up fast
It's claustrophobic in this room and I don't wanna pass, by you
Oh, my God, not another awkward encounter
Oh, my God, my anxieties are in the gutter
Oh, my God, I think I need another cigarette
I think I need another cigarette
Now I know I'll see you at shows, and I hate the goddamn fact
It'll be so awkward that I'll wish I had stayed home and napped
I feel a fever coming on, I'm more comfortable on my own
And I wouldn't have come out if I had known
Oh, my God, not another awkward encounter
Oh, my God, my anxieties are in the gutter
Oh, my God, I think I need another cigarette
I think I need another cigarette

Too Young

I'm too young for this and too old for shit
And I think about how everything has happened in my life
And the overwhelming thoughts become delusional in stride
And I start to understand why i've been left so many times
And I feel like I'm a second choice for everyone I like
But I know i'm not just a reject scrap
But I can feel so very empty when i'm sitting all alone
But I double feeling comfy when theres no one near my soul
So lets leave lets run lets get away from here
Let go of all our problems, ride some trains and drink some beers
I'm happy leaving everything I know far behind and I think I might be
better if I do this all the time
I'm too young for shit and too old for this
And I'm trying just so hard to make it on my own
But I know i'm just a bag filled with lots of different bones
So lets leave lets run lets get away from here
Let go of all our problems, ride some trains and drink some beers
I'm happy leaving everything I know far behind and I think I might be
better if I do this all the time
I'm too young
I'm too young

Never Paid a Toll

Started driving to Jersey about three months ago
Didn't think anything of it just thought you should know
But once the talking started it never seemed to stop
Instant connections how come I forgot?
What it means to be your authentic self
Gender euphoria like I never felt
Because i'm not scared to be myself around you
I'm not scared to be myself around you
I'm not scared to be myself around you
I'm not scared
No no
And what if I were to tell you that i've never paid a toll?
I steal all my groceries and I fear getting old
I carry around this backage like a weight around my neck
But when i'm in your arms I never seem to forget
That i'm not scared to be myself around you
I'm not scared to be myself around you
I'm not scared to be myself around you
I'm not scared
I want to swing dance break beat
Watch a horror move do another bit
Then get some ice cream
Listen to the Mountain Goats on the couch
Cry about our feelings then make out
Go on a hike or to the beach
Swim in the river skipping stones at the creek
Laugh at eachother and admire our jokes
Maybe a cross country road trip desert then coast
I'm not scared to be myself around you
I'm not scared to be myself around you
I'm not scared to be myself around you
I'm not scared
I'm not scared to be myself around you
I'm not scared to be myself around you
I'm not scared to be myself around you
I'm not scared
no no

Just give me 15 minutes i'm trying to work things out
I know it hasn't been easy and I know you have your doubts
But give me 15 days and i'll be right in the clear
I'll have tied up all the loose ends and promise to love you dear
But give me 15 months and i'll have torn it all right out I'll have ripped off all the bandaids and watched you bleed right out
But I never wanted to be a killer in disguise
An emotional ragged nightmare
An enemy you despise
No i'm not thinking of you like that
Not yearning for something more
Not wanting to take you back
So give me 15 minutes and i'll have figured it all out
I'm not calling i'm not knocking
I'm just sitting with myself
And give me 15 days and you won't be on my mind
i'lll be sitting very patiently I won't be passing by
And give me 15 months and i'll be back on my own
I promise that i'm okay i'm fine just all alone
