Leaving Through the Window

I woke up in new york city
From my sleep behind the wheel
Caught a train to Poughkeepsie
And time stood still

She wrote me a letter from San Diego
To qualify her luck
These flights connect through Arizona
But i think I’ll stay stuck

So here I am
Here I am
Well I woke up in a car
I traced away the fog
So I could see the Mississippi on her knees
I’ve never been so lost
I’ve never felt so much at home
Please write my folks and throw away my keys
I woke up in a car
I woke up in a car

I met a girl who kept tattoos for homes
That she had loved
If I were her I’d paint my body
Until all my skin was gone

She wrote me a letter as we passed through Rockford
She said she won’t forget
Maybe I do maybe I don’t
But I know I haven’t yet

So here I am
Here I am
Well I woke up in a car
I traced away the fog
So I could see the Mississippi on her knees
I’ve never been so lost
I’ve never felt so much at home
Please write my folks and throw away my keys
I woke up in a car
I woke up in a car

And maybe i could live forever
If that ever i had known
That you’d be waiting there whenever i’m alone

But here I am
Well I woke up in a car
I traced a way to fog
So I could see the Mississippi on her knees
I’ve never been so lost
I’ve never felt so much at home
Please write my folks and throw away my keys

Well I woke up in a car
I traced a way to fog
So I could see the Mississippi on her knees
I’ve never been so lost
I’ve never felt so much at home
Please write my folks and throw away my keys
I woke up in a car
I woke up in a car
I woke up in a car

I have a story of bitter anthem,
For everyone to hear
About this kid who just don’t like me,
And that’s a solid fact
They say he’s hunting me
And as you see
I'm all swelled up with fear
'Cause I can’t get him off my back
If you see Jordan
He makes me sick
High school’s over
And you still won’t quit

You tried to fight me down
At Tyler’s beach and man I think that’s great
You nearly cried and said to yell at you like I do at all the girls
Then you drove home real quick
Did you make it in time to masturbate?
There’s one too many of you in this world

If you see Jordan
He makes me sick
High school’s over
And you still won’t quit

You say it's chivalry but it's jealousy
That lead us to this song
Won’t play it often
Just at least until you’re gone
You’ll stop at nothing but the real thing
And everything up to that’s pretend
You tried to brainwash all my friends

If you see Jordan
He makes me sick
High school’s over
And you still won’t quit

Fuck you jordan
You make me sick
High school’s over
I don’t care if you dye your hair
You’ll always be a little red head bitch

I’ve been sleeping with a ghost
I’ve been watching stars
Crawling out of the sky
And I’ve been hoping
I’m close to the space man movies
I call my life

And I’ve been climbing ladders through time
I’ve got tunnel vision
But I’m doing fine
And I’ve been
Watching stars coming off of the wall
And maybe if I’m lucky I can catch them
Before you fall
And you are not alone

Calling out to the astronaut
I need some of what you’ve got
I need to be high
Crawling out of the world she brought
Calling out to the astronaut
I need to be high

And I’ve been holding
This microphone
And I’ve been channeling
But I think we’re alone
And I’ve got platinum vision
And a tin foil touch
I’ve got you to propel me
But I still need so much
Not to be alone

Calling out to the astronaut
I need some of what you’ve got
I need to be high
Crawling out of the world she brought
Calling out to the astronaut
I need to be high

And you are not alone
You are not alone
You are not alone

Calling out to the astronaut
I need some of what you’ve got
I need to be high
Crawling out of the world she brought
Calling out to the astronaut
I need to be high
Calling out to the astronaut
I need some of what you’ve got
I need to be high
I disappear in the world she brought
Calling out to the astronaut
I need to be high

And I’ve got you to propel me
But i still need so much

Shake down, you make me break, for goodness sake I think I'm on the edge of something new with you. Shout out, don't drown the sound, I'll drown you out, you'll never scream so loud as I want to scream with you.

Standing there with your smile blinding your eyes from seeing my face as I'm dying to figure out a girl. But she drifts so far away, I'm on her coast, so maybe I should stay and map around her world.

So Don't Say “These currents are still killing me” and you can't explain how the wind went and pulled you into the hurricane.

Stand up don't make a sound, your ears might bleed. There are sweet fluorescent enemies that live inside of me. The world moves faster than I knew, not fast enough to not creep up on you and the space we put between. So pull me under your weather patterns, your cold fronts and the rain don't matter, because a sun burns what I needed.

You don't do it on purpose but you make me shake now I count the hours 'til you wake. With your babies breath, breathe symphonies, come on sweet catastrophe. Maybe this time I can follow through, I can feel complete, stop paying dues. Stop the rain from falling keep my oceans calm this time I know nothings wrong.

At Cavanaugh Park
Where I used to sit
All alone in the dark
And dream about things
That I cannot say
You always said destiny'd
Blow me away
And nothing's gonna blow me away

At Cavanaugh Park
Where you used to take me
To play in the sand
And said to me son
One day you’ll be a man
And men can do terrible things
Yes they can

There was never any place
For someone like me
To be totally happy
I’m running out of clock
And that ain’t a shock
Some things never do change

At Cavanaugh Park
We used to get high
Watching teams as they fought
They loved my friend Adam
But he always got caught
Man that kid made fucking up look cool
aren’t we all so cool no, no.

There was never any place
For someone like me
To be totally happy
I’m running out of clock
And that ain’t a shock
Some things never do change
never do change
never do change
never do change
never do change

At Cavanaugh Park
Where I used to think
That my life would be good
And I would do things
That I thought that I should
And no ones going to tear me down

There was never any place
For someone like me
To be totally happy
I’m running out of clock
And that ain’t a shock
Some things never do change

There was never any place
For someone like me
To be totally happy
I’m running out of clock
And that ain’t a shock
Some things never do change
never do change
never do change
never do change
never do change

Lyrics to Fall :
I close my eyes
thought i was lost but i was stranded
i go outside
to my surprise the sky had landed
i thought it made more sense
if i could only keep you guessing
i was a fool to think that i should stop you from undressing
now i'm believing all the words you say
that i can't say back to you
but so you can

so i fall
i don't wanna feel this small
you know i just can't handle this
handle this at all
and i'll just fall
i'll let my heartbeat drop
i falter as the music stops
and you watch me as stall
and wonder when i fall

i kiss your neck
i feel you breathing on my shoulder
still i'm perfect
it must be you cause now it's over
i was so close
that was the most that i have ever been through
now old cassettes and cigarettes
will be the ones to save you
how can you ask for me to stay
when all you ever do is go?
just go

and so i fall
i don't wanna feel this small
you know i just can't handle this
handle this at all
and so i fall
i let my heartbeat drop
i falter as the music stops
and you watch me as i stall
and wonder when i..

go on
you can't be waiting
go on
and watch me as i fall

i don't wanna feel this small
you know i just can't handle this
handle this at all
and so i'll fall
i'll let my heartbeat drop
i falter as the music stops
and you watch me as stall
and wonder when i..

Staring into the intersection
She thinks that she can fly and she might
Holding on in a new direction
She’s gonna try it tonight
The closer I get to feeling
The further that I’m feeling from alright
The more I step into the sun
The more I step out of the light

Jessica is covered in a blanket
On a sunday porch
Thinking of weekends
She would party in the city
She doesn’t have a flame
She’d prefer to burn out
Like a torch
If she gets nowhere in life
At least she knows she’s pretty

She says
Hey now the straw dog’s out in the street
Hey now there’s chemicals in the clouds
Hey now they’re calling all the police
But they wont get to us anyhow

The moon is shining now
And shadows are what’s left of all the noise
Simple silhouettes and cut outs
As if we had a choice
He listens closely now
Swears that he can hear a voice
That’s calling him

And saying

Hey now the straw dog’s out in the street
Hey now there’s chemicals in the clouds
Hey now they’re calling all the police
But they wont get to us anyhow

What does it take to be a super hero in my world
Make no mistake that these villains always get the girl
We can escape and then we’d skate away from all of this
But no one ever does

She’s saying

Hey now the straw dog’s out in the street
Hey now there’s chemicals in the clouds
Hey now they’re calling all the police
But they wont get to us

No they’ll never get to us
Hey now the straw dog’s out in the street
Hey now there’s chemicals in the clouds
Hey now they’re calling all the police
But they wont get to us anyhow

She’s trapped inside her room
With reruns on the screen
Old books and movies
But she can’t stop thinking
I’m torn between myself
My radio, my friends
I want to write this one off over and over again
And then she looked at me to scream
“My castles are falling”
But i can’t look into the street
Without everything changing

I want to read good news
I want to be innocent again
I want to read good news
But nothing good is happening

She waits all day
She stands a stranger in her skin
She moves the science with her hands
She lines her walls
With every paper she can see
These words consume her
But they never set her free
And then she looked at me to scream
“My castles are falling”
But i can’t look into the street
Without everything changing

I want to read good news
I want to be innocent again
I want to read good news
But nothing good is happening

I want to read good news
I want to be a little kid again
I want to read good news
But nothing good is happening
I want to read good news
I want to go to sleep at night again
I want to read good news
But nothing good is happening

I kissed a drunk girl
I kissed a drunk girl, yes I did
I kissed a drunk girl on the lips
I let my guard down
How could I have been so dumb?
Her eyes were open
I know I am not the one
I know I am not the one
I know I am not the one

I kissed a drunk girl
Why do I do these things I do to myself
I kissed a drunk girl
I’m sure I could’ve been anybody else

I went to her house
Everybody there was gone
Her little cousin just passed out on the lawn
She walked to my car and
Mouthed is everything okay
Leaned in slowly so now I
Can say

I kissed a drunk girl
Why do I do these things I do to myself
I kissed a drunk girl
I’m sure I could’ve been anybody else
anybody else

I pulled away
I didn’t think it would be right
I said let’s save this
for another night
She said “No, no, no I know
That everything is gonna be just fine”
How could I do this when I want her to be all mine?

I kissed a drunk girl
Why do I do these things I do to myself
I kissed a drunk girl
I’m sure I could’ve been anybody else
anybody else

I know you don’t care about me
I’m sure when all is said and done
and I go home feeling lonely
You will have had your fun
do you even remember?

I kissed a drunk girl
Why do I do these things I do to myself
I kissed a drunk girl
And I’m sure
I could’ve been anybody else
anybody else
anybody else
I could have been
anybody else

A long day
If ever these questions were yours what would you say?
I don’t know
But I’m writing the answers on cheap paper napkins
And now he’s turning off
And now she’s shutting down
And it’s not what it seems
Nothings the same when you give it away
No its not what it seems
It’s just what you think it is
And these fights
They climb through my veins like its mercury rising
And these nights
I seem to remember a home that was better
And now he’s turning off
Now she’s shutting down
And its not what it seems
Nothings the same when you give it away
No its not what it seems
It's just what you think it is
And now he’s turning off
This family’s breaking down
And it’s not what it seems
Nothings the same when you give it away
No it’s not what it seems
It's just what you think it is, just what you think it is
No its not what it seems
Nothings the same when you give it away
No its not what it seems
It’s just what you think it is just what you think it is
It’s just what you think it is
What you think it is

Taking steps back through the words I should have said to you they all got lost
you went away
well i feel sick and you just don't care anymore
anymore
I wish to be with you
minutes of me and you
and i can't feel this happening
so tie my hands back
and make me feel you coming down
coming down
and you don't care
your face is on a billboard
and your everywhere
you don't care much for interviews
your gone your gone your gone your gone your gone your gone your gone your gone away
if you don't like being hurt then please don't stay
its hard to wave goodbye from aeroplanes when i just don't think that you can see I taper off and say its never worth the pain but some time it is
and you don't care
your face is on a billboard and your everywhere
you don't care much for interviews
your gone your gone your gone your gone your gone your gone your gone your gone away
if you don't like being hurt then please don't stay
if you don't like being hurt then please don't stay
gotta wish that i could make this ride wish that there was something worth the time for her to give to me
a phone call from LA is my present
there is nothing left for me to give
I wish I could
and I know that I should but
you know I know I won't
and you don't care
your face is on a billboard
your everywhere
you don't care much for interviews
your gone your gone your gone your gone your gone your gone your gone your gone away
if you don't like being hurt then please don't stay
if you don't like being hurt then get away
if you don't like being hurt then please don't stay

Light breaks underneath a heavy door
And I try to keep myself awake
Fall all around us on a hotel floor
And you think that you’ve made a mistake
And there’s a pain in my stomach from another sleepless binge
And I struggled to get myself up again

I wanna hang onto something
That won’t break away or fall apart
Like the pieces of my heart

And globes and maps are all around me now
I wanna feel you breathe me
Globes and maps I see surround you here
Why won’t you believe me?
Globes and maps they chart your way back home
Do you wanna leave or something?

And dreams came around you in a hazy rain
You opened your mouth wide to feel them fall
And I write a letter, from a one-way train
But i don’t think you’ll read it at all

And globes and maps are all around me now
I wanna feel you breathe me
Globes and maps I see surround you here
Why won’t you believe me?
Globes and maps they chart your way back home
Do you wanna leave or something?

And I can’t take this anymore
Well I know that I can’t take this anymore
I can’t take this anymore
'Cause I know someday I’ll see you walk out that door

And globes and maps are all around me now
I wanna feel you breathe me
Globes and maps I see surround you here
Why won’t you believe me?
Globes and maps they chart your way back home
So Do you wanna leave? Do you wanna leave?
Globes and maps they chart your way back home
Do you wanna leave or something?
