Mexican Candy

walking home from the bus after school with you
kicking at rocks on Rose Petal Avenue
dropped our bags and picked up the basketball
and took to the streets with our hot talking attitudes
we stopped the truck and bought Mexican candy
and ate it on the sidewalk in the shade of the plaulm tree
and talked about girls like Chelsea and Ashley
and I don't know why I never felt so happy
how did you get so depraved
I wish there was anything I could do to save you
but I am time's slave
and I can't ever change that
get out of my room, my dad's coming home soon
if he sees you here I'll be grounded for ten years
and that won't be fun for anyone
lost weekends with free HBO
and the sun coming up over our favorite show
and them fights with the hose with the dots in your nose
and we promised ourselves we would never grow old
do you believe you are brave
I wish there was anything I could do to save you
but you are fear's slave
and I won't ever break through your cold defense
you got old, you got dense
and I stayed here where things made sense
I have been to the edge of the world
and back again searching for you
now and then I think I see a shadow
but it's just the heat of the afternoon

Everyone Knows

everyone knows you love him
why don't you get your life on track
I know that you know how to
everyone knows you love him
everyone knows he loves you back
what if he can't live without you
well you've known each other since kindergarten
been best friends since the day it started
but lately you've seen him in a brand new way
and it scares you more than you like to say
everywhere he goes you're right behind him
you memorized his schedule so you know where to find him
you wait to see him, it's the height of your day
then he walks by and you don't even wave
everyone knows you love him
why don't you get your life on track
I know that you know how to
everyone knows you love him
everyone knows he loves you back
what if he can't live without you
what if he can't live without you
what if he can't live without you
well it's been a good season for a lot of good reasons
it turned out better than you ever dared dream
but September's ending and it's time to change
your priorities need to be rearranged
cause if you wanna be smart then you gotta be fast
and you can't do that by living in the past
don't wanna get stuck in the shadow he casts
and after all summer loves can never last
so you break it to him that you're breaking it off
you're fourteen with a smoker's cough
you make it clear you wanna stay good friends
you just like him too much to be attracted to him
but deep inside you know he's such a better guy
than anyone you've ever said you've liked
you may say you don't want him too close
but it's what you want most and everyone knows it
everyone knows you love him
why don't you get your life on track
I know that you know how to
everyone knows you love him
everyone knows he loves you back
what if he can't live without you
everyone knows you love him
why don't you cut the guy some slack
cause you're all he ever talks about
everyone knows you love him
everyone knows he wants you back
what if he can't live without you
what if he can't live without you
what if he can't live without you
what if he can't live without you
what if he can't live without you

I thought I saw you in the mirror
but the image disappeared
upon reexamining
the habits you can't break
the faces you can't face
past these discoveries
the forward path is clear
and all our friends are here
just take a look around
words cannot describe
what I'd give to read your mind
I'd never put it down
I'd never put it down
cause it's so easy to tell what's true
I know it's right, I know it's right
to be in love with you
all these years I've learned
the best ways to crash and burn
and make plans that come to naught
but I'm not who I was then
yeah spring is here again
and I can't shake the thought
that there is no you or me
we're halves of the same thing
perfect purple and green
I wanna see you breathing
please breathe into me
I wanna be your best friend
I know it's right, I know it's right
to be in love with you
I know it's right, I know it's right to
I thought I saw you in the mirror
but the image disappeared
upon reexamining
it was only me
making funny faces at myself
you and I are young
let's wrap our roots around each other
cause I'd love to grow with you
words cannot describe
the weight I feel inside
the way your smile shines
the way your smile shines
I know it's right
to be in love with you
the way you shine
I know you
I know you
I know it's right
to be in love with you

The Greatest
04:20

you say that you yet feel life
that dreams can birth anew
that love can overcome the odds
when dreadful things accrue
when the sun seems far away
friends can still warm your heart
and we can realign the pieces
when reality falls apart
tell me still that you don't understand
there's nothing left to know
why not sit and like the view
when there's nowhere left to go
for you and me
you kill me with your insights
then you lay me out to rest
cause best friends can't be best friends
when your life's always a fucking mess
tell me still that you don't understand
there's nothing left to know
why not sit and like the view
when there's nowhere left to go
for you and me
my dreams they're hid beneath the time
and fallen knees but they birth again inside your eyes
in your smile in your heart
in your eyes in your heart
you were so young
a fragile flower wrapped in bloom
and I was so naive
never understood my doom
but now we've gotten older
yes you and I we've grown
and to this day I remember
the greatest love I've ever known
was you
it was you

Chuck the Duck

I bought a duck today
I named him Chuck the duck
I showed my friend the duck
and he said what the heck
I ate a cherry pit
and thought no more of it
but it made my stomach sick
I had to take a Gas-Ex
words are so much fun
I'd like to teach you some
so you will not sound dumb
when you talk to sluts
