I saw you with ten years past, you didn't seem to know me. Your hands on your sides, you had pride in your new form and how you noticed me noticing big bulging eyes like frogs i the hands of boyhood could you at least stay here with me? My head fell onto broken down boxes you're climbing up the stairs I've lost this Wait Up This can't be happening again. I swear I love you my best friend Big bulging eyes like frogs in the hands of boyhood wake up older and older and older I was so ready to become something I could've never been born Obesity is something one should never ever think about You're leaving and I'll retreat to the smallest place I know and in this "calm-down" again I'll probably figure out a plan that if my stomach feels as upset as me then we'll call ourselves a team and dream that "somewhere out there, beneath the pale moonlight, someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight" I wasn't born rejected so I doubt I won't die in the hands of another but when I speak and am muted I'm reminded that I'm just a kid younger brother "And even though I know how very far apart we are, it helps to think that we're wishing underneath the same bright star and when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby it helps to know we're sleeping underneath the same bright sky Somewhere out there if love can see this through then we'll be together somewhere out there out where dreams come true

All of my work was done I turned the TV on and I forgot that I can turn it off. We live up on the top. They leave the door unlocked. So just come in. I don't need to buzz you up and I never go anywhere. I am a babbling brook You are a pile of bricks You'll stop the flood and it will make me sick. You are the shoes and feet I am a pile of shit I'm fucking up a good relationship and I never go anywhere. In a trashed room in 1996. A fourteen year old punk and in a flash I'm my parents. And we'll never know love, 'cause I was too busy talking to my Green Day posters They never said nothing to me. Let's start a conversation about anything. I'm tired of arguing. It isn't fun for me. Reverse psychology instead of just listening up - that always seemed stupid to me. Can you stay here? Can we blast the Descendents? Can we turn our phones off and get lost in The Simpsons? I feel inches away from getting swallowed by darkness. And I know that you're tired, but can you draw back the curtains for me? My friends ain't all that great. We play in legion halls, slam beers outside, relieve ourselves on walls. My friends ain't all that bad. We play all ages shows and we'll start on time if you decide to go.

A heart that's full up like a landfill A job that slowly kills you Bruises that won't heal You look so tired and unhappy Bring down the government They don't, they don't speak for us I'll take a quiet life A handshake of carbon monoxide No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises Silent, silent This is my final fit, my final bellyache with No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises please Such a pretty house, such a pretty garden No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here) No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here) No alarms and no surprises please (let me out of here)
