I want a brand new car I want to be cooler than cool I want my friends to question My sexuality I'm not in love with you I'm not impressed by anything And certainly not you I want a cool tattoo I want to be misunderstood I want to act like you don't think I care about you Whatever you want from me Whatever you need form me
2.
If you really knew me You'd know I don't care I'll smash your face through A plate glass door I wouldn't care How could I I know I've been marked As I walk down the hall These jealous fucks I'll hold them undertow I wouldn't care How could I Wear a mask Tear down this school Wear a mask Tear down this town Wear a mask What else for I'm trying to find out That which disgusts you I'm still alive Just to destroy you I wouldn't care How could I

Take my hand, don't let go There's a lot I've been thinking about You mention his name I see a glow I listen, I listen deeply I listen, I listen to you My Margot, you were a girl And I was just a boy dreaming you And now the dream is dead My love for you Died a long time ago My love for you is dead and gone Dead and gone
4.
You tell me to stay across a room But I know it's a game If I was wrong, I think I would know You tell me I struck a nerve, who cares I wish I could, but I'm fucked If I was wrong, I think I would know And if it is was a competition I think I would know I'll have you bleeding when I want You tell me lies to keep me sharp You tell me lies all the time If I was wrong I think I would know

Log Cabin 01:54
I built my life around you I based my life around that fact And you can tell it's pathetic I can't handle simple things Like when I meet someone new Call someone's phone number No one picks up That's the story of my life And why do I try It'd be easier not to
6.
Simon 02:31
I don't know what you want You say what's done is done You've change and you can't explain You've changed And if it's how I really feel If it's new, shouldn't I say It's pain, it's pain, when you're breathing It's wrong, it's wrong, when you speak I can't wait much more I've spent too many years On you, and your petty words On you I've spent a long time Putting this behind me I've spent a long time And still I fail Shut up
7.
Full Empty 01:25
A perfect story To tell your family About how we met Oh it was laugh But it can't be Cause now we're through Over the time I got pissed and drunk A perfect picture Of a perfect couple And now you're jealous Of everything at all But you can't be Cause it was you It was you All along I wish you had me I really don't
8.
Draw Rocks 02:19
pack some things threw the rest away just to prove a point fit my whole life into my car hope i don't wake up to find i put down roots before its time can't grow those plants here don't forget what i told ya don't leave me here write down notes for my future self so i don't forget what i know in this place at this time late last night you said to me you're being mean but what do you know all i've got is a heap of doubt and a long list of towns that i can't quite call home so i'll hit the road again real soon toss some shit out as i go hope i can outrun this
9.
I have been passed once again A killer show or another girl I can't catch a break The shit say I say and the bonds I break They pile on up and catch a spark They burn on out and turn to dust like tinder sticks I can't believe I'm here with you Two losers like a sore thumb I'm getting closer every day I have been lost for a long time I watch the flames burn in my eyes In my eyes I can't tell the difference now Between an olive branch or a spinal tap They always take it out of me The amount I try for what I get The friends I keep and the blood I've let I'm the odds on favorite to lose this bet since twenty-ten I have been lost for a long time I watch the flames burn in my eyes I have been lost, I won't be found I watch the flames settle down Settle down
10.
I'm looking for an excuse To turn your eyes on me I got out of bed today Gold stars on my fridge But when I tell you you'll support me Because Because you think I'm cool It's a struggle to be me Nothing else compares But I've got to be strong Teen girls look up to me All peasants down beneath bend your knee I do it for, I do it for me
11.
Pop Badge 01:45
I saw you walking round Looking cool with a Pastels badge Pinned three quarters up your chest On faded frayed out denim patch I saw you walking by with a six pack in your hand An oral list of your favorite bands The dos and don'ts of a music scene Why Tell me why I should listen to you When you never listen to me I hear you talking round But you're not so laissez faire You're as petty and as freaked As your room full of sycophants I watch you from a far And it's sick and true how I feel No different than all the rest Just as much, I should shut my mouth I'm trying to tell you what I really want I'm trying to how I really feel
12.
I'm nonplussed when you talk about me I'm uncaring when you open a door What do you think You think you're on my mind What do you think You think I've been unkind What do you think You think I'll change my mind What do you think Do you think, do you think at all You must feel you've been put on a shelf I'm not sorry as I pass you on by
