She was everything to me i met her out of the CCCs and as I looked into her eyes she drank down strychnine till she died we all worked so hard those years but things got worse then we had feared they took my love out from her home and worked me till I was skin and bones her ma used to speak in tongues and i would stand there looking dumb and when all of this begun we were not the only ones

Debutant 03:27
I want to hear it from you again the southern plan can it get us what we want out of this restaurant a debutant maybe you need more time to think write it in ink run away from all of this nothing to miss we could reminisce we can find all that we wanted in the arms of virginia do you mind if im broken hearted in the arms of virginia i want to suffer from humidity drink sweet tea forget all the people we hate to see just you and me we could be free everyone here is always mean its all we’ve seen we could get into some lean wear our blue jeans a porch and screen

when i tell you just what i’m thinking promise to not get so mad all those nights that we spent out drinking, might have made our mother’s sad girl i love you more then you know and what i want for us is more then this the way it started, the way that things go, i hope its something that we never miss i want you to know that i’ll never go ill be right here for you and everything that you do is cool
5.
i don’t want to be here anymore everything here is such a bore and i find, its hard to do it on your own and i feel like together it might get done let it out, i don’t even care is it too much if we stop and stare and i want to be there, let it all come down it is only fair, if we don’t want to stick around

Mermaid 03:37
its funny to see the way they wait for me and how you move your arms walk into the sea water up to your knees sand swallows your feet and how you move your arms never a minute apart it’s how it always starts if i was young, and i wasn’t so dumb, i would find you if i was a punk, and i wasn’t as numb, i would find you we all want to be someone strong and mean so we can do it on our own i want you there starfish in your hair all the salt to share and how you move your arms never a minute apart its how it always starts

bright in your eyes and the wheel, how’s it feel on the road running out, when you need to go do you see where it is on the signs on the side going south with the tide that we need to find we want to find a way to prove what we said about it all and now all we have to do, is get there for you
9.
love, don't try to be cool, cause I know the truth about you I try, with all of your friends, don't care how they feel, they won't understand and i'm left behind, just like the birds fall out of the sky what i've learned about you is that everything you say somehow comes true green, under feet, and the sun in your hair, life can be sweet signs of the summer in rise and the sand in your shoes the sound of the tides and you being so mean they're stuck in the cars its funny to see what i've learned about you is that everything you say somehow comes true so there's nothing left i can do so let's just get hype we got nothing to loose

Staying In 03:45
what do you think about it the movie we’re watching we need to wake up in the morning, so we need a night in. When it comes to breathing it gets harder when you’re near it so do you need a reason to have a night in Chorus: Dont you worry about me anymore, Ill find a new way to get by just dont let me leave out of that door if i do im not sure i can survive and when I wanted to there is nothing better to do then stay in with you its what i need to do so tell me what you’re thinking about what our friends are saying theyre saying theat we’re lame because we want to stay in.

Dragonz 05:04
yeah i want to tell it like it was it wasn’t fun and its stupid to relate it like its us and if you think that its OK its not so run away, its not OK i want to say just how it feels you need to open up your heart , to see the rise into the reaches of space like a dragon of the night i want to enter in your mind, so i can find what i need to get me through this time and if the reaches aren’t there, i wont care, i will be the one inside you growing like a vine you need to open up your heart, to see the rise into the reaches of space like a dragon in my love i find you in the back of it all and i know that i cant be there if you fall so stay up late and what they told you to be, you are deceived let them come these demons live on love
