You said you waited for me
You said you waited all night long
Just wanted to be forgiven
Just wanted to fit in all along
You said you waited for me
You said you faked it all along
Just wanted to be forsaken
Just wanted to snake in all along
Don't you know the way I am?
Why you wanna make me choose
Don't you think gonna lose
Don't you want make it
You said you waited for this
You said you waited all night long
Just wanted to be there waiting
Just wanted prove that I was wrong
You said you waited for me
You said you waited all night long
Just wanted to be forgiven
Just wanted to fit in all along
You said you waited for me
You said you waited all night long
Just wanted to be forgiven
Just wanted to fit in all along
Don't you know the way I am?
Why you wanna make me choose
Don't you think gonna lose
Don't you wanna make it?
Why you wanna make me choose?

Stereo in Japan

Hey man don't you know
They're playing me on the stereo in Japan
And as crazy as it seems
It's coming from the x-girl of my dreams
And I'd like to be with you
If you want the same thing too
Just to travel to a foreign land
It would be nice to be in demand
On the stereo in Japan
Hey man can't you see
She's a little bit like me
Yeah she likes to feel the sound
Lays herself out on the ground
And I'd love to hear form you
If you'd like the same thing too
Just to get into the van
It would be nice to be in demand
On the stereo in Japan
Hey man don't you know
They're playing me on the stereo in Japan
And as crazy as it seems
It's coming from the x-girl of my dreams
And I'd like to be with you
If you want the same thing too
Just to get into the van
It would be nice to be in demand
On the stereo in Japan
On the stereo in Japan

Feelin' It
02:44
|
|||
|
You're with your friends standing by the fountain
Riding their skateboards making eyes at Holly
She's the real thing
She's the real thing
Sheila smiles and reaches in her pocket
Calls her sis' who rides the silver rocket
She's the real thing
She's the real thing
Are you feeling it?
Are you feeling it?
Can you feel it now?
Trish is alone surrounded by her paperbacks
One-stars on you know she'll never call you
She's the real thing
She's the real thing
Devin says she's gonna write a letter
Don't know why it makes her feel better
She's the real thing
She's the real thing
Are you feeling it?
Are you feeling it?
Can you feel it now?

The Great Mistake
02:55
|
|||
|
Thursday morning she came through
I hadn't seen her in a week or two
But I called her up, yeah way too soon
I called her up just like I used to
Saturday, yeah it came and went
She borrowed some clothes and I paid the rent
But I said too much, yeah way too soon
I said too much just like I use to
All hands too, it's the great mistake
I wish I could just stay away
Sunday night came way too soon
We started to talk and went into my room
But I fell asleep, yeah way too soon
I fell asleep just like I use to
All hands too, it's the great mistake
I wish I could just stay away
All hands too, it's the great mistake
I wish I could just stay away
All hands too, it's the great mistake
I wish I could just stay away

It's No Use
04:05
|

|
It's no use he sees her, she falls into the water
He never had a chance to tell her everything
It's ugly, it's hated, could almost say it's fated now
He always wanted to tell her everything
It all seemed so simple then, what to say and where to begin
All he wanted was for her to stay
It's ugly, it's hated, could almost say they're fated now
He never could find the words to say
To say the words, call them out everyday (Everyday, everyday)
I waded, I waded in all the way
It's no use she sees him, she loves him more than ever
It's just that the timing doesn't seem right somehow
It's ugly it's hated, could almost say he's jaded
He's given up hoping she would say
To say the words, to call them out everyday (Everyday, everyday)
I waded, I waded in all the way
It's no use, she sees him, she holds him underwater
She never had a chance to tell him anything
It's ugly it's hated, could almost say they're fated now
She always wanted to tell him everything
To say the words, call them out everyday (Everyday, everyday)
I waded, I waded in all the way

Eric's Girl
03:59

|
This one comes from Eric's room
Says she no idea where he is
This one comes from Eric's room
The note says he gone and left you down the road
Down the road
Nothing changes, nothing moves
Nothing's here in Eric's room
This one comes from Eric's car
He plays that tape of the songs you loved to sing
But no one sings along
This one comes from Eric's car
Says he's gone and left you down the road
Down the road
Nothing changes, nothing moves
Nothing's here in Eric's room
Nothing changes, nothing moves
Nothing's here in Eric's room
I thought she wasted her time on you
She don't need you now
`Cause I've been saving myself for her
I'll tell her somehow
This one goes to Eric's girl
Says she's no idea where he is
This one goes to Eric's girl
This one goes to her
`Cause I love Eric's girl, love Eric's girl

Who is in the Way?
03:48
|
|||
|
She wakes up, tosses her covers off
Goes about starting her day
Tries not to fall asleep
she watches minute hand can't keep those feelings away
Who is in the way?
And why can't I just make this go away
She breaks up, mixes her medicine up
Just can't remember their names
She tries not to fall asleep
She listens to her heartbeat
When she wakes up it's all the same
Who is in the way?
And why can't I just make this go away
Wake up, wake up it's all the same
Wake up, wake up I can't remember their name
And why does it have to be so hard
You can't let this feeling go
She starts to shake, watches her fingernail break
Can't keep him off or away
Tries to remember him, tries to remember when
Smells him in strangers all day
Who is in the way?
And why can't I just make this go away
Wake up, wake up it's all the same
Wake up, wake up I can't remember their name
Who is in the way?
Who is in the way?
Who is in the way?
Who is in the way?

No One Would Miss Us
02:55
|

|
We drove up to Atlanta, we were looking for fun
We drove up to Atlanta, but you forgot the gum
There's some gum stuck under the table right there
No one would miss it, nobody would miss it
No one would miss it
There's a kitty cat over by the side of the road
See it licking its paws, see it rubbing its nose
It would look so cute between us in bed
No one would miss it, nobody would miss it
We drove up to Atlanta, but you forgot the gas
I'll distract the clerk pump the gas real fast
Cover the tag with some aluminum foil
No one would miss it, nobody would miss it
No one would miss it
Sniffing glue with you in the front sat of the car
You were painting your nails, I was staring at the stars
Fell asleep halfway to Atlanta
No one would miss us, nobody would miss us
No one would miss us, nobody would miss us
No one would miss us, nobody would miss us

Indie-Rock Superstar

Indie-rock superstar
Falls asleep while his girlfriend drove the car
He doesn't liked the big time
Doesn't wanna wait in a big line
Indie-rock superstar
Walks to work cause it doesn't take too long
He never pushed the big song
He always though that they were wrong
Indie-rock superstar
Talks to a girl as he leans against the bar
He gives her a tee-shirt and tells her how much his songs hurt
Indie-rock superstar
Works at the indie record store downtown
He never hit the big time
It always seemed like such a waste of time
Every word and every note he put it down into his mead book
And it's on celluloid, it's on satellite
He never wanted it to end up on the b-side
Of "Indie-Superstar"

Pencils down I helped you for too long
Pencils down I helped you
This is what I get for being wrong
Guess I should've told you, told you
Glance around I told you to pretend
Glance around I told you, told you
This is what I get for being your friend
Guess I should've told you, told you
Hey Maria won't you lean on me some
Hey Maria don't you leave me here alone
Once before I told you this would end
Once before I held you, held you
This is what I get for being wrong
I'm always wrong
Hey Maria won't you lean on me some
Hey Maria don't you leave me here alone
Pencils down I helped you for too long
I helped you things I knew nothing about
I told you the truth yeah you said I was wrong
I'm always wrong, always wrong
Hey Maria won't you lean on me some
Hey Maria don't you leave me here alone
Hey Maria won't you lean on me some
Hey Maria don't you leave me here alone

Coward
04:40
|

|
Would you like to spend the night with me?
We could watch TV, or maybe just sleep
Would you like to stay awake with me?
There's a diner on the corner, it'd be my treat
Coward, something's going on
Every time I talk to you something goes wrong
12,000 miles form home
Left you all alone
And what made you stay away?
12000 miles to go left you here alone
And when will you come back to say
Coward, something's going on
Every time I talk to you something goes wrong
Maybe you feel the same way
Dying to say hello
Maybe you're in the same shape
Everyone must know I'm a coward
Are you all alone, did you fall asleep,
Are you up there now, are you in too deep
Did you stay awake, did you make it count
Couldn't say your/her name couldn't spit it out
12,000 things to do, no one really knows if that's true
Fall asleep or fall for you, I'll fall for you
Coward, something's going on
Every time I talk to you something goes wrong
Goes wrong
Maybe you feel the same way
Dying to say hello
Maybe you're in the same shape
Everyone must know I'm a coward

Holly's Tooth

She gave a tooth to me
I'll wear it
She hangs it round my neck
Can't bear it
Everybody wants to be like Holly
Everybody wants to be like Holly
She gave a tape to me
I'll hear it
She, always on my back
Doesn't like the way I'm swearing
Everybody wants to be like Holly
Everybody wants to be like Holly
Yeah
She said it's up to me
Can't bear it
She hangs it round my neck
I'll wear it
Everybody wants to be like Holly
Everybody wants to be like Holly
Yeah

Satellite
05:41
|
|||
|
Somewhere out in space there's a satellite that's broke
Keeps my messages from getting through
And it keeps me hearing from you
Said you'd call me from Rome
That ringing line made you feel all alone
Got your call but I wasn't home
Usually it's just the other way around
Somewhere out in space there's a satellite that's broke
Keeps my messages from getting through
And it keeps me hearing from you
Waited to hear from you from Madrid
Got your call that said we should, we did
Got your letter too late
Two months, they came and went
She's now the other way around
Somewhere out in space there's a satellite that's broke
Keeps my messages from getting through
And it keeps me hearing form you
Tried to get to you in Milan
But the signals blocked and the traffic ran
Somewhere out in space there's a satellite that's broke
Keeps my messages from getting through
And it keeps me hearing from you
Somewhere out in space, somewhere out in space

Always want to know
What's the latest on the shelf
She's all alone
Talk to her by myself
I hope I see you soon
I hope I see you soon
She's gotta know
Just because I'm stoppin' by
I'm all alone
Waiting to get in her line
I hope I see you soon
I hope I see you soon
She's waiting for me at the bookstore
Could you point me to the Chaucer
She's waiting for me at the bookstore
Always want to know
What's the latest on the shelf
She's all alone
Talk to her by myself
I hope I see you soon
I hope I see you soon
She's waiting for me at the bookstore
Could you point me to the Chaucer
She's waiting for me at the bookstore
She's waiting for me at the bookstore
Could you point me to the Chaucer

It meant everything to you
It meant that much to me too
Did you have to crush me too?
Did you have to crush me too?
It meant everything to you
It meant that much to me too
Did you have to crush me too?
Did you have to crush me too?
How could you walk around here?
How could you slip back over?
I'd love to walk on water
I'll see you when summer is over
Did you have to crush me too?
Did you have to crush me too?
Sorry, sad eyes
Sorry, said I'm over you
Sorry sad eyes
Sorry, said I'm over you
Did you have to crush me too?
It meant everything to you
It meant that much to me too
Did you have to crush me too?
Did you have to crush me too?
How could you walk around here?
How could you slip one over?
I'd love to walk on water
I'll see you when some of this is over
Did you have to crush me too?
Did you have to crush me too?
Sorry sad eyes
Sorry, said I'm over you
Sorry sad eyes
Sorry, said I'm over you
Did you have to crush me too?
