Getting Bigger

I'm sick of being told that I'm not that old
Yeah I know the way that I look
Caus there's a feeling that i get, it comes from my chest
And its hard to come away unshook
I don't like being taught that I am who I'm not
You'd be shocked to know who said it today
Caus there's a hole in my heart and it's been there from the start
And I'm sick of acting like it's ok
It's getting bigger now...
But were not gonna fill it, we're not gonna fill it today
We're not gonna fill it, we're not gonna fill it today
We're not gonna fill it today
Now we've been talking all night about getting better and you're right
Sometimes just feeling it is good for the soul
but there's this gap in my heart, and addressing it's a start
But I'm the only one who can make it whole
it's getting bigger now
But were not gonna fill it, we're not gonna fill it today
We're not gonna fill it, we're not gonna fill it today
We're not gonna fill it today

20 Some Odd

I wanna be a simpleton
Sit and have a beer every day
And I wanna be a philosopher
Thinking how I might find a way
And I wanna be a good person
Give it all up to charity
But I wanna be a selfish rock star
Take the whole world just for me
And I'm not some masochistic jerk
Who would kill anyone just to get his way
But I've got some plans I plan to keep
And I'll tell you one time
They're here to stay
Everyone's looking to get some
Looking for some...
Well I wanna be a healthy person
Getting exercise and eating my greens
But I wanna be a lazy asshole
On a sofa hooked to a screen
And I wanna be a successful man
I wanna be making that money
But I wanna be a immaterial monk
With his head up his ass and his mind in the sky
I wanna be a...
Everyone's looking to get some
Looking for some...

Tell Me What You Want

Come on and tell me what you want
Come on and give me your opinion
You don't like what you got
Yeah I know you have your reasons
For every shitty thing you've said
For all the people you neglect
It's gonna come around some day
Maybe right now
But you keep doing what you want to do
Acting like we're all cool
But I hate it
And I keep doing what you want me to do
Every stupid little thing you ask me to
Oh yeah I know you feel left out
I know you think that you're a victime
Cause I can hear you shout
From the confines of that prison
That you built around yourself
To keep others' opinions out
That you don't want to hear
But now they're getting in
But you keep doing what you want to do
Acting like we're all cool
But I hate it
And I keep doing what you want me to do
Every stupid little thing you ask me to
So come on, let's just sit down
Try to talk it out
I hope I can drag the person I know's in there out somehow

Grown Up Again

I'm sweatin in the shade it must finally be summer
Cruisin down the street like I'm back in my hometown
Lookin for my friends you know we might as well be brothers
I got a letter, I hope it's a good one
Life is gettin better under the new sun
Gotta love the weather, I hope you can get some too
But it's down town to work and I feel all grown up again
No nuerotic thoughts or drugs to scare off all my friends
It's summer time
The sun is high,
The show costs five and I've got ten
Drinking on the beach, having a good time
Dippin in the water will make you feel alright
Singing every night you know we all know every line
Actin like we'll never run out of money
Gotta love the weather, and isn't it funny
How nothing's gonna ever make you not love me now
But it's down town to work and I feel all grown up again
No nuerotic thoughts or drugs to scare off all my friends
It's summer time
The sun is high,
The show costs five and I've got ten

Last Moment

Now here is the last moment in time
You knew you'd never keep it forever
But still you're not ready to leave it behind
Your house still filled with things that you didn't buy
Each one a memory you thought would be lovely
But now they just make you want to cry
And we may never see
Which is the apple and which is the tree
But the orchard stretches out
Until columns of questions become rows of doubt
There is no meaning now
The streets you know so well still bustling with life
A constant reminder that you could be kinder
If You weren't so caught up in your strife
And there might come a day when you'll feel fine
You'll look at it all like bad art on your wall
And say well at least this one is mine
And we may never know
Which is the painting and which is the show
But what does it matter now
I mean what do you expect to find out
There is no meaning now
