Part of Paula

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

Song of the Century

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've Been Waiting

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

Not quite sure what you expect from me
I know i owe you everything
You will soon be free
Can't tell if this is what you meant for me
My child I've given you everything
Given you everything
Sick and tired of all these memories
Can't i turnem to maple trees?
You will soon be free
Then you can take whatever's left of me
Cat's Eyes
I've given you everything
Given you everything
You can be the something to confront me

Flying

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"
