Seventeen - Peach Pit

I say, here stand I
I can't do otherwise
but is it enough?
and why'd you look so tough?

back at Patrick Park
we stood in the dark
in my beer-stained mind
I said "please won't you be mine?"

there's something dark hangin' over my head
I'm seventeen, don't hold your breath
there's something dark hangin' over my head
I'm seventeen, don't hold your breath

on the high school lot
you kissed me so long
but lessons don't last
when I'm playing you so fast

there's something dark hangin' over my head
I'm seventeen, don't hold your breath
there's something dark hangin' over my head
I'm seventeen, don't hold your breath

punch and first collapse
drunk at winter dance
looks in red dress
oh, what an awful mess

there's something dark hangin' over my head
I'm seventeen, don't hold your breath
there's something dark hangin' over my head
I'm seventeen, don't hold your breath

Trading Punches - Friday Pilots Club

thought that I could cut it out
but it was gone when the axe fell
been up to feelin' real down
a high never hurt like this till now

why do the days feel the same?
when does my mind get a break?
wish I could cut it out
but I was under when the axe fell

I feel
I'm growing tired of tearing through my wasted time
tell me
does anyone feel the way they should?

when you slip behind your eyes
do the days just pass you by?
does it always just go on and on and on?
maybe you could let me know
when you try to make it stop
trading punches with the clock
does it always just go on and on and on?
maybe you could let me know

there's a weight to youth
I despise this useless truth
a helpless age of proof
that I am who I was to you

I feel
I'm growing tired of tearing through my wasted time
tell me
does anyone feel the way they should?

when you slip behind your eyes
do the days just pass you by?
does it always just go on and on and on?
maybe you could let me know
when you try to make it stop
trading punches with the clock
does it always just go on and on and on?
maybe you could let me know

(maybe you could let me know)

a shake before the stop
living just to feel the drop
tell me who we've all become

when you slip behind your eyes
do the days just pass you by?
does it always just go on and on and on?
maybe you could let me know
when you try to make it stop
trading punches with the clock
does it always just go on and on and on?
maybe you could let me know
(when you slip behind your eyes)
maybe you could let me know
(do the days just pass you by?)

bar me from the heavens' streets
teach me hurt, make me believe
nothing cuts like broken teeth
no, nothing cuts like broken teeth

spoiled - Flor

these mounting emotions
building up 'til I can see the sky
only takin' steps back
stuck in the trap of an eye for an eye

oh, it feels like a story
in the parts where everything's lost pace
I can see the details now
see the plot unfold in the dark of the waste

and I get the feeling that I
won't get everything that I want
and I know that now, so what
is it that's keeping me down, down?
and I get the feeling that I
won't get everything that I want
and I know that now, so what
is it that's keeping me spoiled?
keepin' me spoiled
keepin' me spoiled

and I swear it, I swear it, I swear it
I'm tryin' to get it all pieced together
but it won't fit, but it won't fit
it doesn't make sense to me, no

and I get the feeling that I
won't get everything that I want
and I know that now, so what
is it that's keeping me down, down?
and I get the feeling that I
won't get everything that I want
and I know that now, so what
is it that's keeping me spoiled?

and I swear it, I swear it, I swear it
I'm tryin' to get it all pieced together
but it won't fit, but it won't fit, no, no

and I get the feeling that I
won't get everything that I want
and I know that now, so what
is it that's keeping me spoiled?

Junior Varsity - Dayglow

can you see it now?
the changing in the leaves
it's all around us now
as foreign as it seems

let's celebrate
we never make the team
we're in the real world now
not junior varsity

can you feel that change?
can you feel that change
comin' around?

oh, it's the same old fish
swimming in a new sea
and times don't change
but they can surely leave

oh, everything here
has pointed you this way
and I see it so clear
it's the reason we were made

can you feel that change?
can you feel that change?
can you feel that change?
can you feel that change
comin' around?

can you feel that change?
can you feel that change
comin' around?

How Do You Love? - The Regrettes

I sit quietly on my phone
trying to enjoy time alone
"don't think too much" I tell myself when I start thinking
wanna enjoy all this breathing without drinking

why do they look so in love?
the couple walking by, well, maybe they're on drugs
"don't look too much" I tell myself when I start staring
maybe there's something in the perfume that she's wearing

it's the little things that I can't understand
how they love, lie, pass it and keep holding hands
it's the little things I'll never understand
I think it must be fake like a fake spray tan

how do you love?
how do you love?
how do you love?
how do you love?

I've tried to read myself to sleep
it just gives me anxiety
how will I know where I was when I started sleeping?
I feel the same way about cuddling, but for dreaming

distractions can be hard to find
but I suggest just makin' a list and you'll be fine
write down all the things you wanna learn to do
enjoy your favorite movies, startin' old to new

it's the little things that I don't understand
how they look, lie, pass it, they keep holding hands
it's the little things I'll never understand
think it must be fake like a fake spray tan

how do you love?
how do you love?
how do you love?
how do you love?
how do you love?
how do you love?
how do you love?
how do you love?

Kleenex - Baby Boys

and a held close hug tight with you maybe
and a loss light dim and a match is made again
and whatever I thought of myself shut down
and I reach for whatever world sweet felt
get out while you still can

oh we're losing, losing
oh we're losing, losing (losing)
oh we're losing, losing
get out while you still can
get out while you still can, still can
oh we're losing, losing
get out while you still can
get out while you still can, still can
oh we're losing, losing
get out while you still can, still can
get out while you still can
oh we're losing, losing
oh we're losing, losing

goin' hard in the backseat
rolling with my best friend
we pulled a quickie last week
coming from the west end
I've not had a tough time
in a little, knock wood
do you think that I will be fine?
maybe, maybe
last week I was getting scared
thought they're gonna get me
coming, coming out of left field
told you, but you wouldn't see
I guess we shouldn't worry 'bout it
let me just feel this
I'm good, never better, boy
fuck, I need a Kleenex
