seltzer lyrics

can't sleep because

i can't sleep because
i think i ate too much tonight

i can't sleep because
i think i stayed up too late last night

i can't sleep because
this room smells like sunscreen

i can't sleep because
i think i fell in love too early

gone as long

in this heat i seem to feel the cold
the cold of what was in my head in
winter but it's unexpected
that i feel it less and less

i couldn't even think about you
now it seems like such a distant memory
in my big stupid head
how could i have been so wrong?

walking with my suitcase in my hand
i'm ready to stay this shell of a man

tv dinners seem like such a waste
if you have someone waiting
maybe if time didn't go so fast
i'd have an excuse to break my back

i wonder if it's different now that i'm gone
if they changed at all
i wonder if i made a difference
or if i just faded

gone as long as you were lost with me
i hope i forget just how to breathe
i wish i could suffocate in your oxygen

gone as long as you promise to forget the smell of my car at three am
gone as long as you need to find someone else to torture you
gone as long as it takes to make it seem like i was never there
gone as long as you need to erase the memory of my stupid face

new hat

(oh my god, hey
it's so great to see you
yeah, haha, it's been a while
yeah, yeah i'm doing alright, how are you?)

is that a new shirt?
is that a new skirt?
i can't tell, cause i haven't seen you in forever

is that a new hat?
where'd you get that?
was it from the hat store in atlantic city?

how are you feeling? (oh, that's great)
i'm feeling okay too
how long has it been? (really? wow)
i thought it was a lot longer

is that a new lipstick?
is that a new haircut?
is that a new eyeliner lining your eyes?

are you a new person?
cause you seem so different
i had a different picture of you inside my mind

i'm doing just fine
regardless of the things you may have heard
i'm biding my time, biting my tongue, swallowed it whole

are you a new person?
cause you seem so different
i had a different picture of you inside my mind

are you a new person?
are you a new person?
am i a new person, now that you're gone?

i'm doing just fine
regardless of the things you may have heard
i'm biding my time, biting my tongue, swallowed it whole

(well, um, it was great to see you
yeah, it was nice to catch up
well, i'll see you later i guess
yeah, alright, see ya)

(i love you)

alabama

i go to college
in alabama
i'm gonna be a physical therapist

and i play football
because i like it
i have to get my rage out somehow

but i miss the beach
when i'm in alabama
i miss my friends
when i'm in alabama

i made a friend
he's selling candies
now i have a beach in my pocket

i met a girl
she's so different
we had sex but she might not rememeber

but i still miss my friends
when i'm in alabama
i miss my dogs
when i'm in alabama

every summer
every winter
every halloween

every kwanza
every easter
i come back to the beach

i miss my landscapers
i miss my pretty sister
i miss my high school spirit
i miss my football helmet

i miss the beach

i heard about a guy i went to school with
i guess he's dead now, i didn't know he had it in him
i don't understand, this school was so good to me
now i'm in alabama

grounds for sculpture

i didn't want to write another song about you
but here i am
i meant it when i said i'm doing alright
but not all the time

i found another girl and took her to the place we liked
but it's not the same
there are too many broken memories flooding my still broken mind
and i'm to blame

i just want you to know
that i don't blame you

i don't blame you
you're better off without me anyway

i'm sorry
for that time
and that time
and that time
and that time
and that time
and that time
and that time
and that time
and that time
and that time
that i fucked it up

i'm sorry

and i just want you to know
that i don't blame you

seltzer

baby
sorry
how did it come to this?

i hope you
don't hate me
after all we were just kids

i'd take it all back if i could
all the shit i did
i hope you still rememeber the good

and all the leaves are falling once again
i hope one day we can be friends

disregarding the torture
and disregarding the lies
nevermind the names i called you
i just want to see your beautiful eyes

it's okay, i wouldn't forgive me either

drinking
seltzer
how did it come to this?

almost
a year now
the bubbles hurt my lips

i hope you hear this
and know that i'm okay

i know that's what you would want anyway

big smelly shoes

i had a moment just a few nights ago
i think i'm finally ready to let you go
i still haven't found someone new
it's gonna be pretty hard to replace you

varicose veins on my left side brain
picking up the pace so i don;t go insane
stuck in a rut like bill's alway saying
here i am with no shoes on

breathe it in and tell bout it how does it feel
it's nothing like i thought it makes me feel so real
the people in my head come out and tell me to steal
guess you wouldn't approve

go back
