Come Outside 03:42
Wasting life, left alone All my friends don't call me no more I'm looking for something special I wish it wasn't so hard I'd rather be at home Looking at my guitar Why should I come outside? I always end up wanting to hide Don't feel like leaving but running away When I'm out there trying hard not to be scared But I'm scared of what's possible Cold garage, hazy screen My jacket zips but it's torn at the seams I hate being so cold I hate feeling so old I better stay at home I'm better off alone Why should I come outside? I always end up wanting to hide Don't feel like leaving but running away

Misery 03:32
Wake up it's a quarter to three Working just to pay for my weed If I knew better I would think it over maybe Driving all by myself Shivering 'cause it's cold as hell If I worked harder I might never be colder than you (No crying) I'm never gonna bring you down (No crying) I'm never gonna bring you down Again my head is singing evil sounds (No crying) But I'm never gonna bring you down What is the matter now? Something is always going around If I waited for her I would only let myself drown In misery (No crying) I'm never gonna bring you down (No crying) I'm never gonna bring you down Again my head is singing evil sounds (No crying) But I'm never gonna bring you down

I've been trying for trying's sake so long I'm getting bored of being bored again I'm so helpless when given the chance So I thought I'd say sorry in advance It might be me you're looking for Then again it might be Paul or George But I've been looking back all the while Just hoping to catch your smile You say that being down Is so easy, easy as faking a frown Just a game 'cause everything is going well It was hard for me to really tell So I blindly rolled the dice and took a chance But I still said sorry in advance So I'm trying for trying's sake again But winning's only good until it ends So I'm back at the start with my half a heart That I left for this very moment You say that being down Is so easy, easy as faking a frown

I'm lazy, not dormant The morning is my worst friend They're crazy, not normal Making it so hard to live In the daytime, in the nighttime The between times when you think it's a good time To not feel worried, not be sorry Not seem angry, not be party To this world, this horrible world I'm fading, it's normal Just trying not to bother you What should be important When you're stuck with nothing to do? In the daytime, in the nighttime The between times when you think you found a fine line To not feel worried, not be sorry Not seem angry, not be party To this world, this horrible world

Goodle Days 03:26
Someday about twenty-five years from now When we've all grown old from wondering how We'll all sit down at the city dump And talk about the goodle days Oh you'll pass the joint and I'll pass the wine And anything good from down the line A lot of good things went down one time Back in the goodle days And the goodle days have passed and gone A lot of good people have done gone on That's my life when I sing this song About back in the goodle days Sometimes I get to thinking that we're almost done And there ain't nothing left that we can figure out I guess it must have seemed a lot more like that Back in the goodle days But when you gotta go, you gotta go There's always somebody don't you know? Hanging 'round saying that I told you so Back in the goodle days And the goodle days have passed and gone A lot of good people have done gone on That's my life when I sing this song About back in the goodle days Oh we'll all join hands and gather 'round When that old guitar starts to make that sound A lot of good things went down, down, down Back in the goodle days We's in love with people that we haven't even met Out for anything that we could get Oh we did it then and we'll do it yet Back in the goodle days And the goodle days have passed and gone A lot of good people have done gone on That's my life when I sing this song About back in the goodle days

This isn't how it was supposed to be I thought that I could wish it true If I go back then it's not meant to be Just proof that time has passed me by You never say the things you should to me That fear is tired in your eyes It might be something I would say to you Don't you want to have what you need? There is a saying I can't remember now Something about words and deaf ears There is a feeling I can't separate from Something about something that never dies I hardly listen like I shouldn't be It's so strange to look it in the eyes And when you find yourself with shit to do Ain't you glad to have what you need? There is a saying I can't remember now Something about words and deaf ears There is a feeling I can't separate from Something about something that never dies
