It doesn't come that often but when it does it pours in
but it's never until its gone that i know what it is
I felt summer kiss my cheek as the leaves started to fall
and the city called my name as my plane was taking off
tell my mother that I'm so sorry
I'm on the roof again.
I know that she gets so worried,
but tell i'm just out looking for heaven
If you wanna sleep over, we can talk about the weather
I have some old friend in the cupboard if that sounds any better
there were things we had to say but i thought the bed was for other things
sorry to drag you into this but you signed up when you took my kiss
this is an apology to everyone ive ever hurt from me
please know this was never my intention,
im just doing it all for attention
i know i am just a kid, a stupid little idiot
but i can learn
when did you get so boring baby when did you get so dull
i havent seen you around much lately
you must have found someone you love more
i know that our names have now lost all affection
i know my intentions have lost all direction
i know weve started to lose that connection
we had the summer that we shared in brooklyn
and the way that we laughed like we were children
has been replaced by the glasses endless refilling
we got onto the carousel and hopped over the fence
as the Eiffel tower sparkled off in the distance
but i thought it was time for me to go and to give you some space
i know plenty of other men who will gladly fill in my place
but baby ill be waiting in case you ever wanna
you're a chapter in my life that ive ended with a comma

everything means everything
and this is no exception
i heard everything you said to me
but that doesn't mean i listened
i cant take you serious with that drink in your hand
how dare you say you miss me when you've got another man
your troubles are no excuse to do the things you've done
your mother is still unamused by the person you've become
everything means everything
so you'd better pay attention
it gets much harder later
so i hope you learned your lesson
Lord help us, we're all sleeping sideways i don't know what to do
i've lost my silver platter and all my shoes are painted blue
what a thing to think about with the ashes in the air
it took another year or two for my mind to go clear
if my neighbors would shut up maybe id finally get some sleep
and if you'd ever call me back id have a reason to go clear
i know you mean much more to me than i could ever mean to you
but that wont stop me from trying to be everything to you
everything means everything
but that doesn't mean it matters
your laugh might be a movie
but that doesn't mean you're an actor

A Little Ball

She said i have an air of arrogance
but i thought nothing of it
she told me i wasn't making any sense
well that depends on the season
do you miss me?
is your mother worried?
don't mistake a lack of words for a lack of thought
you don't always need to know whats going on
...
don't remind me of things i said when we were young
you know i've always had a problem with my tongue
are you worth the trouble that i know youll bring
what happens doesnt matter as much as what you think
you are a blizzard
in a little ball
and i am the castle
where all your snowflakes fall
no matter how hard i shake
ill never get that far away

A Bottle of Old Friends

I'd be sorry, if i knew why i should be
I'd be happy, if you would just let me be
but every time i say goodbye i just feel guilty
ive either done something wrong, or done nothing at all
i'd love you, if you'd let me
but all you're giving me, is pity
do you love me?
if i'm on the roof will you please help me down
im not myself when my friends are around
my hands are turning folsom blue
and im all wrapped up in your dizzy tune
do you love me now?

i was after the view of you in the morning
asleep on my shoulder your breath on my neck
now its after the view and its you im mourning
with my ears still ringing with the words you left
baby please believe me i dont want you to need me
and i hope its not too late for that
i know its much harder to be left than to leave
so do your best not to get too attached
i felt a little reckless after half a night of trying to forget this
and i made the mistake of leaving you a message
but i just felt childish and pointless like one half of a heart necklace
or a picture of a painting
or a rhyme with no meaning
i'm always close but just a little bit behind
you were probably right when you said i was acting like a child
does your new pose give you a new peace of mind?
have you found your circle or just your place in line?
have you changed or just adapted to a new place?
do you feel any better or still just complain?
as much as i love a life spent on the road,
i miss all my friends and i want to go home
i had no idea how hard it could be living alone
i miss all my friends and i want to go home
my life has become a circle
love with intention and love accidental
two times the time you and i spent together
is half the time it took for me to feel any better
