21 I had some fun it was wine and jazz
so cultured like that but at
22 I'm back from school with a half degree
in something or other, at
23 I chased a dream all the way out East
and I came home empty, at
24 I moved some more and I failed that too
(laaaa da da da da...)
25 a house, some dive with three other dudes
a cat and a keyboard, at
26, well I know this, that there's 20-something ways to suck at life

Never Stop Wooing You
03:42
|
|

I'll never stop wooing you
It's all I really wanna do
And I pinky swear
That I'll never stop wooing you
It's all I really wanna do
Just love you
Well I found love in a pretty strange place
It was crystallite clear when I saw your face
That I wouldn't back down
So I pulled a tune straight outta thin air
And I cut that track and then I cut my hair
Cause I couldn't back down
I needed you around, uh huh
I looked at you
It was like you already knew
That I would
never stop wooing you
It's all I really wanna do
And I pinky swear
That I'll never stop wooing you
It's all I really wanna do
Just love you
Well after all of the pretty girls blend
You're the only one I wanna see again
You're the only one for me
'Cause afterall, we're a pretty good match
Gonna reel you in, what a perfect catch
Out of all the fish in the sea
You're the one I can't let free uh huh
I looked at you
It was like you already knew
That I would never stop wooing you

Maybe Someday
03:32

Get outta here, I thought you'd fall for the chemicals
inside your brain, not look at me like a criminal
Your eyes say "no", my heart says "yes", your lips say "maybe someday"
Well...
Maybe someday, maybe someday
Happens to be my very favorite day
Most fellas in my situation would take the hint
But inside my brain I've got a lack of giving in
And I am praying that you aren't similarly wired
So just give in
Yeah...
I'm thinking of a queen
She's kind, except when it comes to one little thing
La da da da da, bup bup ba
La da da da da, bup bup ba
Bup bup bup bup bup ba x2
I'm thinking of a queen
She's kind, except when it comes to one little thing
Maybe someday, maybe she'll say
How 'bout that drink how 'bout let's leave this place
Maybe someday, maybe someday
Happens to be my very favorite day
Maybe someday, maybe someday
Bup bup bup bup bup ba ba
Maybe someday, maybe someday
Bup bup bup bup bup ba ba

Hey Indie Girl
03:52

Hey indie girl, I gotta hand it to you
You know a lot of great songs
So here's a tune to try to win you over
It goes a little bit like this
I just want to be loved
In the same way that she does
Iron and Wine
She only shops at the local thrift store
She only listens to the records on her bedroom floor
She rides her bike to the local rock show
'Cause she doesn't own a television or a radio
She's my indie girl
indie girl...
Hey indie girl I worry that my songs are lame
And won't do nothin' for you
You're into folk and I'm still playing power-pop
I write 'em all down and I can't stop
and I just want to be loved
In the same way that she does
Tegan Sara
CHORUS
BRIDGE/HARMONIES
CHORUS
Is she a hipster? Has she religion?
I think she'd smile and tell you "Baby, Pescetarian"
She dug Arcade Fire til they got popular
Hey Indie Girl I know a different group that ain't that far
Yes Indie Girl

You Make My Day
04:55
|
|
||
I got to feelin' so low
A change of pace and place
I traded dust for rainy days
And needles up in space
You took a chance and said "hey"
And I liked you right away
And pretty soon, an afternoon
Had turned into a day
You said "do you want me to call you?"
I said "Absolutely I do"
'Cause you make my day bearable
You make my life liveable
You make everything okay for me
You make my day
You make my day go by so, so fast
You make my day
You're such a beautiful girl
And you mean the world to me
Plus all the stars and all the space
In every galaxy
And if you smile at me honey
And tell me that I'm funny
I'll never need a single thing
No cars, guitars, or money
You say "baby, tell me something true"
I say "Can I sing it to you?"
I wanna spend all my sunny days with you
And all my rainy nights
And cook thanksgiving turkey, too
And hang those colored lights in the winter time

Dear Small Town
03:09

|

Dear small town, I think I need to go
Dear small town, things here move way too slow
Dear small town, twelve years and counting oh, no
Dear small town, I need to run away
Dear small town, we've disagreed I know
Dear small town, I know I'm like you more than I show
Dear small town, I'm gonna miss you so much
Dear small town, I think that you're okay
It's just that
I've had it up to here, oh
You've had it up to there, oh
Someone's moving on forever
I never liked it here, though
I always loved it there, oh
Someone's trying hard to never let go
We'll be back just like we always are
Midnight runs, gas station, ditch that car
Greasy food and green tea are never far
Dear small town, I think that you're okay
I've had it up to here, oh
You've had it up to there, oh
Someone's moving on forever
I never liked it here, though
I always loved it there, oh
Someone's trying hard to never let go
When we do it right, we'll be up all night
When we do it right I gaurantee
We'll be up, we'll be up all night long

Cherry Park
03:41

Send a postcard when you've grown up and gone
I'll be right here where you left me for so long
I'm still waiting for my time in the sun
While the other dreamers take it and they run
Lonely walks in the park are no way to start
Whatever you call rainy holidays
Lost sight of the plan, stopped giving a damn
Whatever became of pride and potential and punch
Oooo, like in a daydream
Lackadaisical
Oooo, walking around like
It ain't a miracle
Ahhh, that we're alive but
It's a typical day in Cherry Park
Write a letter, sign "sincerely, on top of the world"
By god, you've earned it
and I slept
Lonely talks with myself, books fly off the shelf
Does TV exist if I'm not watching it?
You scream and you yell, that's clearly worked well
With me in the past
Over and over again
Oooo, like in a daydream
Lackadaisical
Oooo, we walk around like
It ain't a miracle
Ahhh, that we're alive but
It's a typical day in Cherry Park

Watched you pull up from afar
Wavin' in your mother's car
Spent four days in ecstasy
And watched you drive away from me
Kelsey, my dear
Won't you come here
I miss my baby right now
I miss you right now
When you'd gone I found all those
Forgotten hairpins and the dying rose
I piled them all up on my shelf
But I really wish you'd left yourself
I can't stop thinking of
When you said you were falling in love
Oh we were lying in bed
And I turned to you and I said
That I'm absolutely falling for you too...

In her eyes, she encapsulates the town
Every time I look around
It's fall in the streets and spring in my heart
And on her lips, lays a secret she can't keep
Which she whispers in my sleep
Nobody knows what springs from her heart
And I don't care, who you are
She is the best thing to ever happen to me by far
And on my arm sleeps a living good luck charm
And every time I look around
It's falls in the streets and spring in my heart
Doot do doot...
Beep beep...

I woke up and pulled myself out of a dream
It was great but then I felt like I could scream
I'd been happy for the first time in a year
Why's it always gotta be the good luck that disappears?
Took my buddy Jim aside and laid it out
And he told me what he thought it was about
Maybe she doesn't exist but in a dream
He continued, but I just might have an odd little scheme
You know what she looks like
You know what she wears
Chances are, somewhere in the city she is there
The city she is there
Beep beep beep be prepared
Scouted out a route about where I'd been out
It seemed hopeless but my buddy was devout
All you gotta do is see her little face
Like you did when you were smitten in the very first place
Subliminal messages from subliminal girls
So blame it on messages from subliminal worlds
I'm so high with low expectations
Jimmy boy I tell ya I can't see a thing
I don't think these girls are ever gonna ring any
Any bells inside my lovesick little brain
Let's stop here and get a coffee 'cause it's starting to rain
And there in the coffee shop is this sweet little girl
Who's makin' a mocha with some whipped cream in a swirl
It's the girl who's haunted me for some days now
|

|

That girl, she's driving me mad
She's driving me bananas
Oranges peaches and pears
And that girl, she's driving me crazy
She's driving me insane
Or just peaches and pears
But I don't care, who you are
She was the best thing to ever happen
To me, by far

We're just a couple a kids
Taking the long way home
Thinking it through alone
I really should have known
I'm 20-something and blue
And feeling her slip away
I'll see her another day
What do you want me to say?
There's no harm in letting this end
cause good luck charms are only pretend
However...
She could watch the stars
All night, all night
Safely in my arms
All right, all right
I'd give my heart to take
If she would be there when I'd wake
And not just in my dreams
Alright, alright
I'm turning back on my heal
And doing this damn thing right
I'm taking her out tonight
I'm asking her real polite
And she's got all my favorite bands
Pinned to her heart and that's the way in
I'm taking
Hello (Hello)
My barista (Call my Lisa)
Girl, you are lovelier than you know
I'll ask (So ask)
My barista (Call me lisa)
I don't know quite how this should go...
When you speak it makes me doubt my worth
Like an angel a god would send to earth
To make heathens like myself believe in something
And we could watch the stars
All night, all night
You safely in my arms
All right, all right
I'll give my heart to take
I know you'll be there when I wake
And not just in my dreams
I'm alright, I'm alright

We met over a muffin
We talked over a tea
We had a conversation over a coffee
You walked in every weekend
You are a regular
But now it's not for tasty beverages, it's me
Best thing to ever happen to me, by far...
Thump thump, boom boom
My heart is bursting
Pop! goes the arteries
Blood is splattered on the ground
It's the color of love!
Shake shake, hold still!
My hands are trembling
Look what you do to me!
Passions burning like a fire
It's the color of love!

Nobody But She
05:51

Seattle was part of the plan
Big city lights and all that jazz
But who could it be that's taken over me
Nobody but she, nobody but she
Holed in a room, my friends are upstairs
I could go out or just stay here
And who but this girl could love me?
Nobody but she
It was an Emerald City love song
Right before our very eyes
We found the pieces of it along
Flooded streets and blue skies
I thought I'd maybe moved on
But it's the Emerald City love song all along
It showed me the way to being my best again
The Piano was taking up space
Sure I could write, but that don't pay
So I sold a dream for a place to sleep
I'll get it back, don't freak
The amp was sold next week
So you bust out the bar soap and clean out your car
Racing up Eastlake to save my guitar
I brought it with me when you got me to move
South of Seattle right down to the 'Couve
Those friends say I'm happy now, and I'd agree
"Man what got into you?"
I say "nobody but she..."
Nobody but she
