The Get Up Kids – Woodson

 

Woodson

 

We cannot work out what has to be said.  …an image painted black in the back of my head…  It came so clear last night, you showed me that your words mean more than actions do…I was listening to you.  Someone is listening, that someone is you.  You build me up, you break me down again and I take it.  If this night, if this kiss were something real…

 

Second place

 

It’s been proven, hundreds over since, the decision was the best that we could make.  If I wasn’t clear enough before…that’s not what I said, and I bent over backwards just to speak.  if you’ve got things straight in your head then you’ve got bigger problems than me.  I’ll send you straight to your room until you calm down, until you’ve thought through what you want to say.  This isn’t me, as much as it may seem and if you’re still thinking…. That’s not what I said and I bent over backwards just to speak.  If you won’t let sleeping dogs die then I’m giving up on this one.

 

Off the wagon

 

They’re my reasons for getting over this, and it’s not much better than waking up with your head in your hands when your arms are tired from supporting you. It’s better in the long run, but this is the worst day of my life.  I’ve giving in.  This can’t be much better than dying.  I’m gong back to my selfish ways.  I’m giving up what I could forget.  I’ve tried, came out better the first time.  If this is all you see, then have a drink on me and look whose laughing now…again.

 

A newfound interest in Massachusetts

 

If I told you that I was thinking of moving east, would you save a place for me?  I’ll come home because it’s worse than I expected.  A place in my heart for my home to the west where we’ll watch the same sunsets, and when I doubt…I’ll look east and lock my heart in a brass box to newfound mass.  I’m breaking off but this is my home. I’d do anything for you, give you the world if I could.  Is that what you want me to do?  These bridges and boundaries are bringing me closer to you.
