| I Call Shotgun |

Let's hit these neon streets and stay out all night
The best decisions happen after 3am anyway
We'll take the 101 and park off highland
Start at Dillon’s and get kicked out of AK
We're not getting any younger
So let's lose it all for just one night
I got a taste for cheap beer and tequila
But I'll never be that douche at the bar
All I got is $26 dollars, but I got my friends and that's more than enough
So let's get up and throw down
We'll drink till we're honest
And let the booze get this out
I think I'm in love with this blonde bartender
Aw who am I kidding?
I'll love whoever gets my next round
Girl you look pretty cute in your thrift store T-shirt
But we both know you paid $45 for it at urban
Guess that's why you're drinking the cheapest bourbon
While you tease some poor hipster
Building him up to get your bar tab for free
The trust fund whores are spilling their mixed drinks
I guess no one taught them how to handle their jäger
It's not like we're doing any better
Colin's been puking his guts out in the men's room stall
So let's get up and throw down
It's too late to be modest
And let the booze get this out
I think I'm in love with this redhead bartender
Aw who am I kidding?
I'll love whoever gets my next round
The ugly lights come on and I'm bugging Nick to spot me for just one more round
I know it's last call but I swear I'm good for it
I'll get him the next time we're downtown
Carrie's passed out in the booth which means I guess we're walking home
It's ok, it's not too far, and thankfully it's not too cold
It's only two more blocks til we get to our small apartment
Our neighbors are throwing a party, maybe we'll go
We'll keep the night going until we pass out, or head home once the keg floats
So let's get up and throw down
We'll drink till we're honest
And let the booze get this out
I think I'm in love with the girl on Dan's sofa
Aw who am I kidding?
I'll love whoever gets my next round

I can’t help but think back to those nights spent wasted
In that town we hated
Passing the nights driving around wreaking havoc
Without consequence
We were young and reckless laughing and drinking the night away
Taking those minutes for granted
We would do anything just to feel alive
Now time has passing
Innocence is fading
But I’ll always remember all those times
Summer nights, passing time, getting caught up in it
Time of our lives, in our minds, what if all this was it
Now we’re grown, out on our own, we’ll be gone before we know
So let’s live tonight like it’s our last, we’ll give it one more go
I remember all our road trips, with no cash
Barely enough for gas, but always enough for a six-pack
Age 25, at 18, we had the worst fake Ids
Take me back to St. Augustine, Daytona Beach, everywhere in between
I’ll always keep those memories close to me
Now time has passing
Innocence is fading
But I’ll always remember all those times
Summer nights, passing time, getting caught up in it
Time of our lives, in our minds, what if this was it
Now we’re grown, out on our own, we’ll be gone before we know
So let’s live tonight like it’s our last, we’ll give it one more go
I can see us sitting in those driveways planning
How we would pack it up and run away some day
813 in our rear views fading
Thinking ‘we finally made it’
It’s funny how things, they turn around
Now how do I get back to those summer nights
Those natty lights
We’d stay up until we saw the morning light
Passing out with all my favorite memories
Summer nights, passing time, getting caught up in it
Time of our lives, in our minds, what if this was it
Now we’re grown, out on our own, we’ll be gone before we know
So let’s live tonight like it’s our last, we’ll give it one more go

I’ve been thinking lately,
My friends must be thinking that I’m crazy
But this girl’s amazing;
You can see it in how happy that she makes me
That’s not even the best part;
I love it when she leaves love notes on my car
I should have known from the start,
This girl has completely stolen my heart
Tell me what you’re thinking
What’s running through your mind?
Is this all a daydream,
I’m feeling so alive
Cause when I’m here with you,
You’re all I’ll ever need
I hope this never ends
You’re my favorite memory
Sweet summer mornings, I’m laughing when I hear you slightly snoring
And I’m content now; we can just lie around and watch the world out from your bedroom
Spring crush, summer love,
We’ll take over this beach side town
Riding bikes, staying out,
We don’t answer to anyone
We kiss in the moonlight,
and for once everything’s all right
Tell me what you’re thinking
What’s running through your mind?
Is this all a daydream, I’m feeling so alive
Cause when I’m here with you, you’re all I’ll ever need
I hope this never ends
You’re my favorite memory
I’m thinking back to the day we met
And how the summer sun shined on your skin
And I’ll never forget those words you said
The morning after I woke up in your bed
Tell me what you’re thinking
What’s running through your mind?
Is this all a daydream, I’m feeling so alive
Cause when I’m here with you, you’re all I’ll ever need
I hope this never ends
You’re my favorite memory

Another weekend as we head eastbound
It’s the summertime in my favorite town
Spend my nights on 1st and 3rd
Wasting time and chasing those girls
We were drunk and so in love
There was never such a thing as far too much
Those summer flings never meant a thing
We were just kids we were living the dream
We only live for right now
Tomorrow’s so far away
So we’ll raise this glass
As we sing,
We’re the kings and queens
Of the seaside town
A summer in Duval was all that we need
Staying up all night
Closing the bars down
We ruled the late night scene
I’ll always remember
Summer nights and warm Atlantic wind
I’ll always remember
Sun rising over the pier
Was our blinding reminder that the morning is here
We ride home, just to do it again
I smile remembering finding sand in my bed
Riding bikes, open container laws ignored
Late night runs to the local liquor store
Hurricane warnings don’t mean a thing
Just another reason to throw a party
We only live for right now
Tomorrow’s so far away
So we’ll raise this glass
As we sing,
We’re the kings and queens
Of the seaside town
A summer in Duval was all that we need
Staying up all night
Closing the bars down
We rule this late night scene
I’ll always remember
Fireworks and our sunburned skin
I’ll always remember
Years from now we’ll have grown up and moved on with our lives
So let’s raise our glass and live it up like it’s our last night
We only live for right now
Tomorrow’s so far away
So we’ll make a toast
As we sing,
We’ll sing at the top of our lungs
We’re the kings and queens
Of the seaside town
A summer in Duval was all that we need
Staying up all night
Closing the bars down
We rule this late night scene
I’ll always remember
Stealing kisses under moonlit skies
I’ll always remember
A lifetime of summer memories

You and I,
Just two people in the wrong place, wrong time
Falling for your lies, just another case of the blind leading the blind
Come to find,
You had other intentions running through your mind
It’s pretty clear to me one of us wasn’t gonna make it out alive
You kept pulling me back in, but not again
I’m stepping up and cutting the cord
Before you have a chance to make a move
Dragging me to that spot we’ve been in a million times before
Those summer nights
Intuition blocked by all these Natty Lights
With no time to defend myself you took me by surprise
By late July I was nothing but an afterthought in your mind
I was back at the bar ordering round after round to leave it all behind
You kept pulling me back in, but not again
I’m stepping up and cutting the cord
Before you have a chance to make a move
Dragging me to that spot we’ve been in a million times before
You were one of a kind thought you were so unique
But when I look back now, I was just being so naïve
From your smile and your laugh I’ve seen these tricks
A million times before you’re just an old routine
This is the last song
I’m tired of giving you any more time
You and I,
Just two people in the wrong place, wrong time
Falling for your lies, just another case of the blind leading the blind

Don't get comfortable being by my side tonight
I only keep you close because you keep this pen alive
I'll say goodbye, but I'll mean good night
If I leave I promise that I'll never write
You're the last thing I need in my life
Every day you don't spend with me
Is for the best and I believe
You won't matter after tonight
So I'll make the worst, of everything
And I'll make sure not to miss a thing
I'm not faithful but tonight I'll pray
As I head out miles away
That I will never hear your name
My bags are packed, possessions sold
Just spare me the lines it's getting old
I'll say good night, give you a kiss goodbye
If I leave I promise that I'll never write
You're the last thing I need in my life
So I'll make the worst, of everything
And I'll make sure not to miss a thing
I'm not faithful but tonight I'll pray
As I head out miles away
That I will never hear your name
So this is our last night,
And I just want to hear those words from you
Please just the truth
But if you think it's alright
That nothing ever came from me and you
I guess that's the truth

October 12, a day that will live in infamy
I'd rather not remember but your face is a bitter reminder
You were my favorite summer fling, but summer's turned to fall
I'll be just fine without you
So pour yourself a drink better make it a double
And tonight we'll raise our glass, and toast to the death of what we never had
So I'll hit the streets, drinking this town dry
I'm lighting up and blacking out
These seven bridges, I'm burning all of them
So you can never get back to me
Don't believe I didn't find
What you tried to hide
I hate to tell you your secret's out
Last night's last call
Do you really think I didn't see
you two in front of me
Making out, making me look like the fool
I hope that he took your breath away
And to be honest I hope it was your last
So I'll hit the streets, drinking this town dry
I'm lighting up and blacking out
These seven bridges, I'm burning all of them
So you can never get back to me
Don't believe I didn't find
What you tried to hide
I hate to tell you your secret's out

[17 Nov 2009|10:03pm] |
It's morning, the sunlight is streaming
But I know, getting up has nothing in store for me
I'm not dumb, but I guess you had me there
I was blind, but you're coming into view
I'll do my best to not be bitter
But I think I've earned the right after what I've been through
Good night, and good luck
It's a matter of time til you're all alone
I've had enough of your games
And it won't be long til they all do too
Tied tongues, I've bitten it so hard I taste blood
It's still better than your kiss
I won't miss how much you strung me along for so long
So till then I'll say
Good night, and good luck
It's a matter of time til you're all alone
I've had enough of your games
And it won't be long til they all do too
As these days pass I'll be all right
You'll prey on the next guy, I'll laugh at how dumb he is
As the time passes I'll wait for the sound of
Your heartbreak
Good night, and good luck
It's a matter of time til you're all alone
I've had enough of your games
And it won't be long til everyone else has too

I know it's late but just please
Can we stay for just a little bit longer
I just need a few minutes more
To tell you things I've been keeping locked up
Please can you just lay here in my arms
I'll keep you warm in this cool autumn air
The sun's coming up but all I need
Is one perfect night here in this town with you
Good night, and good bye my love
Two years spent, of dreaming and hesitating
I've used up every cliche line
All these words are blending together in harmony
I'm sorry to hear that you're leaving
But I'm sure you have your reasons
Just remember to call from time to time
And remember that I'll be waiting
With our photograph in my back pocket
The corners are frayed but memories are all I need
If I died that night, I would have been happy
I thought if I just paced myself
Waited for that opportune moment
When the stars would align and shine a light
So you can finally see me in that way
And I'd pick the lock to your heart
And friends would gain more significance
We'd shield our eyes from the spark
But instead I now have another song to sing
Good night, and good bye my love
Two years spent, of dreaming and hesitating
I've used up every cliche line
All these words are blending together in harmony
I'm sorry to hear that you're leaving
But I'm sure you have your reasons
Just remember to call from time to time
And remember that I'll be waiting
With our photograph in my back pocket
The corners are frayed but memories are all I need
If I died that night, I would have been happy
And we will always have that hot and humid summer night
Where I felt it for the first time
That night was perfect
So with an empty space by my side I'll sleep alone tonight
Waiting for you one day
I hope that you find what you're looking for
Because I found mine when I opened your front door
And saw your smile and shining eyes
I'd give anything for that look again
No matter what I do
Nothing I try can get me over you
Please don't blame me
If I can't quite get over you
Please tell me that you're true
But something tells me that that's not true

Calm, cool, collected he was not
She was a dead language that he couldn't read
But he would happily spend the rest of his life deciphering
A hopeless romantic, she was just hopeless
She was all over the place, he was over it all
Fast start, slow going, she's gone
Take me back to that night on her bedroom floor
Uncover those feelings they shared before
Please somebody take me back to that night in July
Now the seasons are changing and so are you
The days are shorter, the nights are longer
The forecast to their demise
This is an endless cycle- Let's pray for summer
A long December
Feels like a heatwave compared to her ice stare
He tried everything to win her affection
But every attempt was met with rejection
The words left unspoken, he hangs his head
Silently conceding his defeat...
Take me back to that night on her bedroom floor
Uncover those feelings they shared before
Please somebody take me back to that night in July
Now the seasons are changing and she has too
The days are shorter, the nights are longer
The forecast to their demise
Sometimes we won't get the girl
This is an endless cycle- Let's pray for summer
This is an endless cycle- I'll pray for the summer

So another year, another funeral
It doesn't get any easier
I know letting go is best for you
But that doesn't make it right
I'm sorry I'm still unconvinced
None of this makes any sense
Why did I have to lose my friend
After I've tried everything
It still wasn't enough to save you
Why can't you just keep holding on?
I would give up anything
To keep you with us for one day longer
I'd give up everything for one more night
Call me selfish, call me what you will
But I'm not ready for these goodbyes
Can we delay this?
By tonight you won't feel any more pain
But these moments and memories are all around me
If this is for the best
Tell me why this hurts?
After I've tried everything
It still wasn't enough to save you
Why can't you just keep holding on?
I would give up anything
To keep you with us for one day longer
I'd give up everything for one more night
I promise I'll never forget
How much you meant to me, but I can't deny
I don't ever want you to leave my side
I'd stay up as long as it takes, a never ending night
But the sunrise reminds me that I can't control this
And our time is running out
This house is much to quiet now, every space is a reminder
Of all the times I shared with you
These moments and memories are all around me
If this is for the best
Tell me why this hurts?
After I've tried everything
It still wasn't enough to save you
Why can't you just keep holding on?
I would give up anything
To keep you with us for one day longer
I'd give up everything for one more night

I've been laying in my bed for these past three days
I'm fine in this makeshift mausoleum, pity's for the living
Our friends will start to question my whereabouts
As I slowly fade to memory, my next stop is obscurity
I put myself in this state,
Now all that's left is to lay in this grave
Lay me down, let the cold dirt cover everything
It's more warmth than you ever gave me
When I'm six feet underground,
I can finally rest in peace
Just as soon as you leave me
Take this as my dying wish, it's my last request
Just let me live out these final days
I hope that you're content going behind my back
Apologies kept behind your lips, save it for his kiss
I'm sure you tried your best to hide it from me
It should be much easier when I'm six feet underground
Wait until I start to decay, with each passing day,
It's better this way
Lay me down, let the cold dirt cover me
It's more warmth than you ever gave me
When I'm six feet underground,
I can finally rest in peace
Just as soon as you leave me
As the days become weeks you'll see
That when I'm gone it'll be easy to forget me
When this is dead
I can find some peace knowing that
You never ever did want me
Lay me down, let the cold dirt cover me
It's more warmth than you ever gave me
When I'm six feet underground,
I can finally rest in peace
Just as soon as you leave me

I'm letting go, cutting all of my ties
I'm through chasing the ghosts of what we once had
I can see the lies, our tongues are tied
That horrible truth that we can't deny
Because you know we'll never be more than friends
This burning summer romance
Has just burned out at both ends
I guess we got caught up
In these cheap drinks and bright lights
This Pacific sky reminds me of those blue eyes
I left behind, but this was all a waste of time
So I'll admit defeat but I still wonder
Every night closed with a kiss, were they all for nothing?
This Pacific sky reminds me of those blue eyes
I left behind, but this was all a waste of time
We were everything but honest
Which I guess is why we fell through
We tried to ignore the obvious
But we both knew
Think back to that winter at the beach
How everything fell in place for us to meet
Now every thing in between
How we were and currently
I'll give up this fight, throw in the towel
I'm tired of these games
But with my last ounce of strength I'll carry on
I can say without a doubt things are better when you're gone
This Pacific sky reminds me of those blue eyes
I was so blind, but now I can see right through your disguise
This Pacific sky reminds me of those blue eyes
I left behind, but this was all a waste of time

I've got a plan to leave this town
To a different state with a fresh new start
The western coast, the place where I left my heart
I'll take my chances in Hollywood
But when I leave I'll be gone for good
Stick out my neck, lay it all on the line
I have to go, just thought I'd let you know
I'm cutting all ties, and now it's time to leave
We'll pack up the cars and hit the streets
Make our way to L.A., we won't stop (until)
I'll set my sights on that neon city
We can spend our nights on Sunset and Highland
We'll be broke, tired and unemployed
But it's 213 so I'd do it in a heart beat
I'll take my chances in Hollywood
But when I leave I'll be gone for good
Stick out my neck, lay it all on the line
I have to go, just thought I'd let you know
I'm cutting all ties, cause it's time to leave
We'll pack up the cars and hit the streets
Make our way to L.A., we won't stop (until)
I'm out the door, never looking back
Trade in east coast nights for western skies
It will be a while before I find my way
This is what I've been waiting for this whole time
We'll take the city like a heart attack
