("Hold on, let me get this straight: you don't want to come see Chester English with me at the Rock show?"
"No, sorry, I've got plans")
I fell asleep in the treehouse
I hate to say I've never felt so close to the edge as when you pointed out the massive hole inside my chest
(What did I do?)
Riding our bikes in the summertime
And the ice-cream man ignored us
(What did I do?)

hey joe,
i haven't seen you in a bit
i hope that we can still be friends
(i know that i'm selfish, my life is worthless)
i just hope that you're okay
i hope we can still be friends
(my life is worthless, my life is worthless)
(forgot my toothpaste on a vacation
now my breathe smells bad)
(i forgot my luggage in the airport
now i got no clothes on the vacation)
hey joe, i hope that we can still be friends
i haven't seen you in a bit
( i know that i'm selfish, my life is worthless)
i just hope that you're okay
you've made your bed now lay in it
you've made your bed now lay in it

(park your car outside my house!)
head down to the kitchen to steal a couple beers
for you and me to share
keep your footsteps quiet so my dad won't notice
eyes on the mission don't lose your focus
like a QB sneak from the home team
but i'm only in the little league
third and long, i know we could do more (do more)
putting my best foot forward
but eyes deceive me
whenever i look at the scoreboard
whenever i look at the scoreboard
i can hear you from the bleachers
calling out my name (my name)
just want to thank you for being here
for every single homegame
like a QB sneak from the home team
but i'm only in the little league
third and long, i know we could do more
putting my best foot forward
but eyes deceive me
whenever i look at the scoreboard
whenever i look at the scoreboard
whenver i look at the scoreboard

when I was young, I thought i could be you
but I was never that cool
when I grew old, I thought I could swim
but I drowned in my swimming pool
I just wanted to impress you
but I can't swim without a lifejacket

I guess i'll stay the night
I hope I sleep alright
I hope that you sleep tight
sleeping in your bed is so much better

i lost the keys to my car
and i don't mind at all
(Every time I came to the end of a block and stepped off the goddam curb, I had this feeling that I’d never get to the other side of the street. I thought I’d just go down, down, down, and nobody’d ever see me again. Boy, did it scare me. You can’t imagine. I started sweating like a bastard—my whole shirt and underwear and everything.)
i will save myself, but if i fall
i don't want anyone to help me
i lost the keys to my car
and i don't mind at all
(friendship, friendship)

(soundclip from Cowboy Bebop)
buzzing off the compliments you get
if you could ever say the things you meant
i just wish i knew the things i know
you won't let it get to you, i know
so hard to redirect your dread
if your world was more than just this shed
your skin and make some sense i hope
cause i'm growing tired of staying home
i'll take my life in this fishing boat cause fuck the east coast, fuck the east coast
(unfortunate, unfortunate)
wish that i could be home, tossing around the pigskin with my dad
buzzing off the compliments you get
if you could ever say the things you meant
i just wish i knew the things i know
you won't let it get to you, i know
so hard to redirect your dread
if your world was more than just this shed
your skin and make some sense i hope
cause i'm growing tired of staying home

[dudley:]
pins & needles
waiting for the bus
i do this every morning
it's getting kind of boring
but this is not what i live for
i love for afterschool
football practice
with my teammates
a scrimmage against st. michaels
left me bruised and battered
but i will never love you
the way Favre loved the Packers
first down!
i got my eye on the ball
second down!
i want to make coach proud
third down!
and the crowd is cheering so loud, so loud, so loud
(instrumental)
fourth down!
i wanna give it my all, but i fumbled the ball
(i fumbled the ball!)
[atlas:]
one ball, one dream,
what does it mean to be a team?
one ball, one dream,
what does it mean to be a team?
