How Could You? 03:25
lyrics

Bought your favorite Kmart earrings All those pretty little pink things Anything that caught your eye Only got you gold or better Silver made your ears swell And I never like to see my princess cry I found a number in your phone The fact I looked, I know is wrong How could you? Why would you? You had it so good Are you going to throw it all away? You blew it, I knew it It was only just a matter of time Before you would stray Bought you a twenty inch television Not a big screen, I’m just a musician Can’t afford those kinds of things Maybe that’s the reason why Is there another guy? You’re going to ruin everything What the hell is going on? Won’t you tell me that I’m wrong? How could you? Why would you? You had it so good Are you going to throw it all away? You blew it, I knew it It was only just a matter of time Before you would stray You call me a fool…you said, “That number was no dude!” “How can you not trust me?” And you say How could you? Why would you? You had it so good Are you going to throw it all away? You blew it, I knew it It was only just a matter of time Before you would stray

Comfortable In Bed 03:34
lyrics

Never been so livid; so mad in all my life You’re always pushing my buttons, making me lose my mind It’s like you’re trying to hurt me and I can’t protect myself Sometimes I wish you’d just desert me and go bother someone else With one move you change the feeling And everything starts healing You look so comfortable in bed Can’t get this picture from my head You are so wrong, but I forget Because you’re so comfortable in bed You say you are leaving if I don’t make up my mind But it’s a rough decision and you don’t give me any time Sometimes it’s so perfect, other times it gets so bad Is it all for love, or just some physical affair? But just like a baby sleeping Your innocence keeps me believing You are so comfortable in bed Forget all the mean things that we said Why don’t we just make up instead? You are so comfortable in bed I could be wrong But it’s taking too long to figure out Is it you or me? Either way there’s one place here there’s no doubt You are so comfortable in bed Forget all the mean things that we said You are so wrong but I forget Because you’re so comfortable; comfortable We are so comfortable in bed Forget all the mean things that we said Why don’t we just make up instead? We are so comfortable in bed

Find My Way 03:42
lyrics

I think I lost my mind For the thousandth time I find that it’s just me I take some time alone Don’t bother to answer my phone That ain’t how it’s supposed to be Did I do something wrong? Because we seemed to get along Since then I’ve been making up my mind It’s all so unclear to me now I know I’ll find my way I sing a lonely song Wondering what went wrong Telling myself not to cry You said all kinds of things You gave me back my ring I can’t imagine why Did I do something wrong? Because we seemed to get along Since then It’s been messing with my head It’s all so unclear to me now I know I’ll find my way Sometimes you need a lover Sometimes you need a friend Come on let’s stick together I don’t want this to end And I think I’ve done something wrong Because we seemed to get along Since then It’s been messing up my head It’s all so unclear to me now I know I’ll find my way

Hard To Get By 05:02
lyrics

And I want Looking at the time to rewind Just to see your face smile again I feel so tightfisted So caught up and twisted Like I’ve lost my only friend Sometimes I say I’ll be better today But it always just seems to go wrong Coming around To the bright side of town I find I’m singing that same old song How can it be so hard to get by? When it seemed like just yesterday everything was alright How can it be so hard to get by? We can try… We can find a way? Will we find a way this time? Day after day I hear people say That times are getting them down But what can you do When the floor’s falling through Are there ways to turn it around? I’m not going to quit now I’m not going to sit down And watch you throw it away Why are we running? There’s got to be something That we can do for a change How can it be so hard to get by? When it seemed like just yesterday everything was just right How can it be so hard to get by? We can try… Can we find a way? Will we find a way? They say that there’s a purpose But I need a reason They say in every prison That you find a little freedom Will you lift me up? I’m ready for a change How can it be so hard to get by? When it seemed like just yesterday everything was just right How can it be so hard to get by? We can try… We can find a way; We will find a way

All We Have 05:50
lyrics

In this tiny, dark dorm room Remembering when I said goodbye So excited to go away And live that college life Watching my roommate Sherman Chen Sweeping up the floor again One bedroom, two bunk beds Wasn’t the picture in my head All we have is each other I’m told All we have is each other Just waiting for it now Get off the subway, I smell piss And there’s no one I recognize I order a deli sandwich and I end up dry-heaving the rest of the night Going to miss my class again Parents won’t leave me alone And I’m wondering what comes next And how it’s going to be when I get home All we have is each other I’m told All we have is each other Just waiting for it; waiting for… …All of the happiness of home Everything has changed No one around me Can make out what I’m saying You said you’d stay the same You promised not to leave But when the curtain’s coming down You are right in front of me All we have is each other to hold All we have is each other; is each other All we have is each other to hold All we have is each other Just waiting for it, waiting for it…

City Song 03:52
lyrics

I’m not a city boy I’ve never lived on a seventh floor So used to the comfort of my room Never been on a subway before Don’t have it at the Jersey Shore I’ve got to get out of here real soon I don’t want anyone to think that I’m a baby But this place is surely driving me crazy Everything is so cruel, just like back in high school And I can’t figure out how to leave Another cab goes by They never stop, I don’t know why Nobody even knows I’m here I can’t stand here in the rain So I think I’ll take the train This is going to be one awful year I don’t want anyone to think that I’m complaining I try to get used to things but I just keep on straining Everything is so cruel, just like back in high school And I can’t figure out… They keep telling me I won’t make it I feel like giving up the more they say it I just keep on hoping that they’re wrong I want to be big again Just like I was around my friends I was such a superstar back home I don’t want anyone to think that I’m a baby But this place is surely driving me crazy Everything is so cruel, just like back in high school And I can’t figure out how to leave

I'm No Good For You 03:27
lyrics
buy track
Since grade school history You were always chasing me That teacher was such a bitch Is that why I remember? Came the summer of ‘99 Had to have our parents drive It was so embarrassing Is that why I remember? Don’t you know I’m no good for you any more? But you keep wanting me like before I see you standing at my door, so I’ll just hide We watched a movie at your best friend’s You leaned in and I turned red Two years off and on again I can’t help but remember Freshman year you moved away Got a call on Christmas Day You pulled me back to you You always got us together Don’t you know I’m no good for you any more? But you keep on wanting me like before I see you standing at my door, so I’ll just hide Don’t you know I’m no good for you anymore? Because you keep wanting me more and more I see you standing at my door, so I’ll just hide Are you sure you really want to know? Because when I say this, you’ll probably go But if you want to know the truth I always loved you Do you think I’m no good for you any more? Will you keep on wanting me like before? Will I see you standing at my door. Should I hide? Do you think I’m no good for you anymore? Will you keep on loving me like before? I see you standing at my door. Should I hide?

Happy 03:06

She sleeps with a nightlight beside her bed, and that’s all right She says things better left unsaid, and that’s all right She keeps me on my toes and everybody knows she’s mine She lets me in sometimes and speaks her mind all the time And she says; she says she loves me And she says; she says all the good things that make me happy I’d give her anything and more, just like I should I’d give her the moon and the starts and the sun, if I could Sometimes it’s hard to say just how it feels And she says; she says she loves me And she says; she says all the good things that make me happy She sleeps with a nightlight beside her bed, and that’s all right.

Back On My Own 04:14
lyrics
buy track
Maybe I waited too long For this mess to get sorted out Was hoping that this wasn’t the end But now I can see that there’s no doubt I could feel me slipping away Couldn’t get my feet back on the ground I knew at the end of the day You wouldn’t be here waiting around Back on my own No I can’t just be a friend Back on my own Guess I lost you once again… Should’ve known I was wasting my time By trying to get you to change Thought that I could fix all your problems So I guess in a way, I’m to blame What the hell am I going to do… …Just sit around here and cry? Think about the things I did wrong... …And try to get you back into my life? Back on my own I guess this is how it ends Back on my own Now I’ll have to start all over again… People think I’m crazy People think I’m lazy All because I’ve been sitting around People think I’m stupid People think they’re cupid But I can’t fix everything…can’t fix anything. Back on my own No I can’t just be your friend Back on my own Guess I’ve lost you once again… Back on my own I guess this is how it’s going to end I’m back on my own Now I’ll have to start all over again…
