I need to work on my disarming smile Because it's been a long long while Since anybody smiled back at me. They always say, "I guess you're pretty cute, But not enough to not be charming, You better make me laugh or your will die alone." And I can't think of things much worse than being alone.

I've always wanted to be a happy well-adjusted human being (THANKS JEFF!) Maybe it would help if I weren't such a fucking asshole to myself I wouldn't do this to anyone else My stomach is full of terrible things Like coffee, McDonald's and amphetamines There's cancer in my lungs that's waiting to be If I don't stop living this way I'll probably always have a farmer's tan And I'll probably always smoke cigarettes And I'll probably always wish that I could live a little better But life is hard to lead without regrets My stomach is full of terrible things Like coffee, McDonald's and amphetamines There's cancer in my lungs that's waiting to be If I don't stop living this way But thinks are gonna change, damn right they're gonna change And I can't fucking wait until they do Yeah I am gonna change, I swear I'm gonna change, I swear I'm gonna change pretty soon.

Tell me a story about The places you have been Promise I'll pay attention Promise that I'll listen She says she's feeling broken I say go fix yourself Se says that she would love to But that she needs my help I'll take you to Texas if you'll take me to Mexico We were saying shit like that to each other months ago Now everybody's leaving and I am feeling so alone I gave my heart away And now I just want it back So I can get by for a while Then have a heart attack She says things will be different I say it's for the best But however you see things We both look like a mess

Last winter we were riding on the incline To a fancy seafood dinner and appletinis on my dad's dime That was back when everything was fine On Mount Washington we had the best of times And our view of the city was muddled by rain My memory made fuzzy by the pain Of knowing that I won't be That happy again for a long while. So I took you to Ormsby, the only place I knew to go We saw Kayla washing dishes and we scared her half to death looking through the kitchen window And she said "nah man, tonight there's not a show." Played with Marley in the kitchen for a while then went home Home - whatever that means.

I'm setting myself a goal Of finding a girl with similar views on sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll And I may never find a perfect match 'Cause there's always a problem, there's always a fucking catch And I'm not perfect Not even close I'm just a person I'm just a ghost My old English teacher is going off the deep end I think he's losing his mind in the divorce Says he's starting all of his classes by telling a bunch of high school kids: "I got no reason to lie to you kid. Fuck a lot of women. Not one, but a lot." Do you have even the fuzziest notion of how I feel about you? Because I'm not sure even I do Can't say a word, won't say a word But I'll try three: I love you I'm sorry About my feelings Can you make them disappear? Can you take away my fear? Can you make me a better man? I think you can

I'm a different person In every state I'm in Proving that beer is the cure to small talk Across the country with my best friends I'm not getting any younger I've been killing all my summers Yeah this is life Yeah this is life alright. It's three a.m., I'm stranded at a gas station Buying smokes because I hate my lungs Make eye contact with some middle manager in a business suit who tells me "fuck 'em, just go be young." I'm not getting any younger. I've been killing my last summer And I swear to God I mean it this time, these are the best days of my life. And maybe in ten years I'll look back and say, "Things weren't that great, All you really did was get drunk and flirt with girls in a couple states" Or maybe I'll look back and say, "For once you didn't piss your life away." Never get tired, never get old Live like it's summer even after it starts to get cold Now I'm back in Pittsburgh and those bastards know how to have A goddamned punk rock show So go to hell, go to hell, go to hell everyone I know I'll see everybody there I'm not living healthy but I'm living well Sometimes I just can't tell what's good or right or fair Never get tired, live like it's summer Never get tired, live like it's summer Never get tired, never get tired Never get tired, live like it's summer Never get tired, live like it's summer Live like it's summer Live like it's summer Life like it's summer Your life's one big summer.
