Love is Gone

I get this feeling
When I’m walking down the street
I feel cooler now that you’re not next to me
Karma police gonna
Come and arrest you
Lock you up tight for
What you never confessed to
Stop the search party
See his hands up on your body
Yeah You’re just another hit and run
Now that the love is gone
I don’t know you anymore
My Chameleon girl
You’ve been changing your mind
All of the time
I can see it in your eyes
You think I’m color blind
My chameleon girl
No I don’t know you anymore
Now that the love is gone
Now that the love is gone
You say that I’m crazy
Well, I’ve been crazy my whole life
You ain’t gonna chain me down
No you’ll never be my wife
You compare me to my father
but why you even bother
He’s the man who made me who I am
You’re just a product of the bullshit
Now everybody knows that your parents don’t
Sleep in the same bed
The love is gone
I don’t know you anymore
My Chameleon girl
You’ve been changing your mind
All of the time
I can see it in your eyes
You think I’m color blind
My chameleon girl
No I don’t know you anymore
Now that the love is gone
Now that the love is gone
I fear I won’t remember
Just how turn it on
Since we can’t be together
Listen to the music and the music will tell you
Every line that doesn’t rhymes another plan
That fell had fell through
When you told me you were leaving
Then I finally had a reason to write that song
You wanted about you
Now that the love is gone
I don’t know you anymore
My Chameleon girl
You’ve been changing your mind
All of the time
I can see it in your eyes
You think I’m color blind
My chameleon girl
No I don’t know you anymore
Now that the love is gone

Blood moon on the rise
Got her hips to the skies
Blackout blue lights
New York on fire
When that sun comes up
Would you pick me up
Would you take me home
Can’t be alone
Gates
I’ve been trying so hard to get through
28
Never knew before I met you
You just wait
Cos’ every wall I can not get through
I’ll escape
I’ve been trying so hard to get you
No one knows you like I know you
No one knows you like I know you
Baby sink or swim
Gonna fight to win
Been an underdog
But we keep it analog
If we say goodbye
for A little while
I’ll come back to you
Like you knew I would
Gates
I’ve been trying so hard to get through
28
Never knew before I met you
You just wait
Cos’ every wall I can not get through
I’ll escape
I’ve been trying so hard to get you
No one knows you like I know you
No one knows you like I know you
No one knows you like I know you
No one knows you like I know you
Forget the pain
forget the past
Forget your friends
They’ll never last
Forget the noise
That’s in your head
Forget the world
Love me instead
Forget the drugs
they’ll never work
We only end up
feeling worse
Forget the voices in your head
Fuck every word they said
No one knows you like I know you

Getting Old is a Bitch
03:50

I don’t wanna get old
Cause getting old is a bitch
I don’t want to get older
Cause getting old is a bitch
Wasted so much time
Just trying to get used to it
Think I need a new body
Will somebody help me out
Yeah I need a new body
Can anybody help me out
Cause I’m getting so tired
Of living with this crippling doubt
Round & round the sun we go
When it stops nobody really knows
There ain’t no getting used to it
Yeah, Getting old is a bitch
Don’t have to call the doctor
Yeah, I can take care of me
I don’t wanna call the doctor
I’ll just take two of these and go to sleep
But, it gets harder to dream
When you’re hung up on the chemistry
Round & round the sun we go
When it stops nobody really knows
There ain’t no getting used to it
Yeah, Getting old is a bitch

Young Vampires
03:07
|

|
I had a lover
When I was younger
She bit my neck
And then I turned into a monster
We used to sleep all day
We’d spend our nights awake
Until we drained our veins
Lost everything we had a stake
We were just young vampires
Who live for the night to get by
Pale as the white moonlight
We were just young vampires
We lost the hunger
For one another
There’s nothing left
We sucked the life out of each other
That’s when you went away
The blood dripped from your fangs
Of another lover whose
Scent made you take another taste
We were just young vampires
Who live for the night to get by
Pale as the white moonlight
We were just young vampires
I don’t want to live
If it ain’t gonna be forever
No, I don’t want to live
If it ain’t gonna be forever
I had a lover
When I was younger
She bit my neck
And then I turned into a monster
We were just young vampires
Who live for the night to get by
Pale as the white moonlight
We were just young vampires

Summertime

In my little town
We grew up playing baseball
Was hoping that we could get
Back on the field again
Except that
Frankie went to Maryland
Timmy’s still in town
Mitch had cancer and survived
But Kyle not around
Pat made it to the minors
While Michael’s having kids
Matty’s burning out and well
Kevin’s just a dick
Summertime in the city
Summertime in the big old city
Summertime sitting’ pretty
Now that it’s gone
Give me summertime
In my little town
We grew up having big dreams
Was hoping that we scream
Like when we were 17
Yeah we were so naive
We thought that we were
gonna be the ones
That would change the world
But now it seems the older we become
We still don’t know where we’re going
And we don’t know who we are
Like our degrees in liberal arts
We were doomed right from the start
Summertime in the city
Summertime in the big old city
Summertime sitting’ pretty
Now that it’s gone
Give me summertime
Don’t leave me behind
Don’t leave me behind
Don’t leave me behind
Don’t leave me behind
I remember throwing around a baseball at McArthur field with my dad
Fast forward a couple years
Me and my friend Erik
We’re hanging outside the wine basket
Trying to get college kids to buy us liquor
Feels like the older I get
The further it becomes
It feels like I’m always gonna be chasing
Summertime in the city
Summertime in the big old city
Summertime sitting’ pretty
Now that it’s gone
Give me summertime
I know you ran away
But I’m wishing you would come back
Another time another place
Another life
Maybe we could be together
In my little town
We grew up playing baseball
Was hoping that we could get
Back on the field again
