Hangman, make me a drink But this time one that's big enough To drown myself in I mean a really good cocktail Of regrets and pain Because I've been on the road for long And I am tired of playing I realize you won't come back You really made that clear But overtime I close my eyes You whisper in my ear What a wasted summer It didn't even last year When autumn finally came My love you disappeared on me We went to let our hearts sail Out to the sea but their rusty anchors failed They got lost and the waves got higher and split them apart The open sea is no place for me and neither for a lonely heart Your love is like a sinking ship And I decided to not go down with it I won't go down and I won't go drowning What a wasted summer You go down and you drown in your drinks It didn't even last year I won't go down and I won't go drowning When autumn finally came You go down and you drown in your drinks My love you disappeared on me

If your face was a picture I'd frame it with my hands And if this was a lecture You'd try to understand That minus times minus is plus i guess loneliness and loneliness is us And I've never been a mathematicians son But this time girl I know I can't be wrong I could be the one to make you cry I could be the one to dry your eyes I could be the one to make you smile again I could be the one the keep you warm in winter nights I just want to make it home alive Listen to my favorite songs and cry

City rail ways taking her through the streets Empty faces, lonesome places is what she sees With her dark blue eyes she looks a little pretty It is like she's never left the city If you survey her face you realize She doesn't know where to go tonight Searching for a place where she feels save at all There is no one there that she could call And she drives on She drives on She drives home He's never been to ocean, never been to sea His mind is telling tales of pure bureaucracy He never felt a single wave trembling underneath Because when he's back home from work he wants to rest his feet And he drives on He drives on He drives home City lights are blinding there eyes

Haha, I Hope So The flickering light in the photo booth A suspicious sign for a seldom use And as you wait for the shutter to close again It tells you every little thing has a consequence The seven bucks that you wasted here For pictures of an insecure Who looks like you but some time ago That was the very last you had And you spent all your money on liquor And you drink until it stops to hurt But you can't change your heart for your liver So you drink until it stops to hurt I've got friends and they help me out They know what love is all about I've got friends and they help me out They will hold my Hair back in combat when we drink until it stops to hurt But I can't change my heart for my liver So I drink until it stops to hurt Now my head hurts like my heart used to hurt

Highway 80 east Narrow Stairs on repeat Cruise control on 85 And only 20 sleepy miles Until the town that I don't know to spell It's not that you'd refuse to tell But we haven't talked along the way And I don't know if you're awake I'll never grow tired of these tires by the road They're just like me, they don't know where to go We'll never know What took these bodies lying on the road But something makes them look like little ghosts They were gone before they hit the ground The traffic makes it harder to slow down As my vision blurs you become a ghost The movies in our heads well they go We'll never grow tired of these tires by the road They're just like me, they don't know where to go We'll never know What took these bodies lying on the road But something makes them look like little ghosts California, here we go It's been a long week but I know That I'll be back That twin sized bed Is way too big to wear my rusty head And when I'm home it's like I'm home from war With no one waiting for me at the door They changed the locks and locked the doors And threw the keys right out to the dogs As we pass the exit sign Cath get's married one last time
