I've been floating 'round This world's been floating 'round my head Can't say that i miss you I just wish you weren't dead You've been gone for long enough now there are galaxies inside My bedroom's where i talk to you On blue and yellow nights On the street i walk with you So you can hold me tight You're the moth around my neck when there are spiders up and down my spine Don't be So hard On me You see As far as i can see It's my creation finally I saw part of Paula that i'd never seen before Gave me twenty dollars and a silver handled sword Then she wrapped her arms around me said The world is gonna give you More than this i pray that i stay grounded in the dirt When you float away they don't say how much it can hurt Now i've got myself beside me and my Nana told me It's my turn Don't be So hard On me You see As far as i can see Don't be So far From me I'm being all that i can be It's my creation finally It's my creation finally It's my creation finally

We only met about a week ago And now my hand is your hair And i don't like it when you sleep alone Cuz i just wish i could be there My body's buzzin like a telephone I think i need to get some air But i don't wanna leave your side So just kiss me and we'll ride This feeling wishing we could die But knowing this is real life Do you feel What I'm feeling? Can you hear The song that's been playing The whole night Stuck in my head It's the song of the century We only met about a week ago So why's it already goodbye? You're telling me i gotta sleep alone I'm telling you i'd rather die I don't have any other secrets no I spent so long inside a lie And now that i can see the future You don't think that it's for you so All these things i thought i knew are Burning slowly out of view Can you feel? What I'm feeling? Do you hear The song that's been playing This whole time? Stuck in my head It's the song of the century Can you feel The rhythm that's building Can you see The pulsating river Of shoestrings Flowing behind me as i am Unravelling

Hey Boi 03:36
There was a "boy" With flowers in "his" hair Wasn't goin anywhere And this "boy" "He" liked to be alone "He" liked to get Stoned So "he" sat with "his" thoughts But sometimes "he'd" get caught In the riptide And though "he" always swam back To the shore, "he" was trapped In his own mind There was a girl Her heart was full of love But she thought she was above And this girl (this girl had dreams of places) She dreamt about The Bay (far away) Of places far away So she walked and she walked 'Til she got to the docks Of the ocean Where in the waves, she found She could hear the sound Of her emotions (AJ: "hi") The went like: Corey: "YOU LISTEN TO ME YOU'RE SO SPECIAL AND SO TALENTED AND YOU HAVE EVERYTHING IT TAKES MORE THAN EVERYTHING IT TAKES AND YOU'RE REALLY STUPID BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW THAT. And i know you don't love me anymore and i know that i blew it but i least i know that and you dont Go to art school and you don't understand how Special you are then you know NOTHING And i DID love you and i still-... Only i didn't realize it really WAS love because it was MORE than love and not just some Stupid Feeling in my stomach like everything else I'll never love anyone as much as you and IHATEYOU IHATEYOU WHY'D YOU WAIT SO LONG TO...." Hey "Boy" (girl, it's time to) Think it's time to understand (understand you) You never had to be a man (always seemed so strange) Its so strange (you talk about) The way you talk about change (these changes) While your behavior stays the same (makes you seem insane) 'Cuz you think that you know Which way life's gonna go (to stay the same) But you don't know (Guess ya heard about the pain and suffering) You can change everything (you know the way) If you lift up a finger (you could leave today) And help (Whatcha doin' bout it? Whatcha doin' bout it?) But you're locked in your room (but you'll just stay) Getting high on the gloom (you're M.I.A.) You're a no-show (Just sittin' in the same old nothing) If you're not gonna do it for you Do it for everyone else If you're not gonna do it for you Do it for everyone else If you're not gonna do it for you Do it for everyone else If you're not gonna do it for you Do it for everyone else AJ: "listening to that stuff is guaranteed to make you sterile" Mark: "maybe i wanna be sterile"

I I don't look up to you Surprised That i ever wanted to I mean to tell you the truth I wish it wasn't you It didn't have to be you She Disappeared while she was next to you Oh please Say you did the best you could do Unless it wouldn't be true It didn't have to be you So don't try to teach me I know now what not to do Just tell me you're sorry That's all i really want from you (I'm waiting for this) Look, i don't mean to be rude But this is long overdue It didn't have to be you

Got a visit from Mom Touching finger to palm in the moonlight She said you've been done wrong Couldn't keep you hidden from harm The pain is all mine We were bleeding so bad But we couldn't tell Dad he was too gone So what you never had Was somebody to hang the truth on So much for a family reunion We're all made of starlight i know we'll be alright We're all made of starlight i know we'll be alright You were watering the weeds Cuz no one taught you how to seed these roses And now the roots have grown deep Someone had to be there to reap what was sowed in I was counting on you (I was counting on you) But you were just a kid too (You were just kids too) And theres no way you knew (There's no way you knew) Just how much would end up in ruin So much for a family reunion We're all made of starlight i know we'll be alright We're all made of starlight i know we'll be alright And yeah i know We're all made of starlight i know we'll be alright And yeah i know We're all made of starlight i know we'll be alright

Flying 04:02
I tried jumping out my window But I just keep falling down Just wanna follow where the wind blows I'm sick of living on the ground So pleased with living in this daydream That now the real world feels like shit There's no need for you to try and save me Yeah, I might feel like dying but I'll deal with it There is no better feeling than the breeze When I'm sending love from high above the trees I can see the earth spin down below It shouldn't be this easy letting go AJ: "What happened?" Deb: "Y'know, I went to rock n' roll heaven and I wasn't on the guestlist. Now please move I've gotta go to work" AJ: "No, now you tell me what is going on!" Deb: "Mind your own business" Lucas: "She's fine. She's amazing." Deb: "Thank you"
