My Own Way 02:26
I’m a coaster by nature A classic imitator And I drive my baby crazy Cuz he knows I’m just lazy Don’t know where it all comes from Words, music and rhythm Most times it don’t come at all I think I’m failing after all I keep gettin’ in my own way Cuz I never feel lonely Pretty soon they’ll disown me I gotta let it all out I wonder if I’m used up Not funny or smart enough Keep talkin' bout the same old shit There’s gotta be a little more than this Can’t keep it all bottled in Creates a bitter carbonate And it’s all stoppered at the top I just need to screw it off Keep gettin’ in my own way Cuz I’m feeling kinda happy And I don’t wanna feel guilty I gotta let it all out I’m a coaster by nature But I could try to elevate ya And I know my baby loves me Cuz he makes me feel holy And I’ve been actin’ all mixed up Sittin', waitin' for some good luck But I’m ready to make it real Get some work for the way I feel I’ll start carvin' out my own way I said I’m happy not boring If you don’t like it then ignore me I gotta let it all out I’ll stop gettin’ in my own way I’m not afraid of bein’ lonely And not a one of you own me I gotta let it all out

I could tell you that I’ve missed you These six months since you went away I could say I long to kiss you And wish I’d begged for you to stay But I’d be lying to say either The sun shines brighter every day What I remember Is emptied bottles in the afternoon And long Decembers Self medicating by the winter moon Then you turned on me when springtime came And your empty life stared back at you What I remember What I never can forget Backhanded compliments Barbed wire keeping me in check Did you think that if you weren’t there My whole life would be a wreck? I hear you sighing, baby I know you’re lonesome and I can tell I hear you crying, baby And I hope your conscience serves you well But when you whisper that you miss me You’d better keep it to yourself

Walkin’ down Weir Lane Under a dusky warm sky One foot in the shoulder The third week of July The air is clearer here Than back out in Queens I know every inch of this place Better than anywhere I’ve been And that house on South Fourth Street Will get you feelin’ alright Come on in, my friend You’re kin for the night There’s pictures on the walls Of sandy haired kids beamin Hayden’s playing pool In the front room with Eamonn And Tray’s in the kitchen She’s dancing to Lucinda It’s such a simple sweet love Like a cone of vanilla And that house on South Fourth Street Will get you feelin’ alright Come on in, my friend You’re kin for the night Be who you are And lay it all bare Let the neighbors ask What they’re building in there And that house on South Fourth Street Will get you feelin’ alright Come on in, my friend You’re kin for the night

Pretty Good 03:14
I got a friend in Fremont He sells used cars, ya know Well, he calls me up twice a year Just ask me how'd it go “Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain But actually everything is just about the same” I met a girl from Venus, and her insides were lined in gold Well, she did what she did said "How was it, kid?" She was politely told "Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain But actually everything is just about the same." Moonlight makes me dizzy Sunlight makes me clean Your light is the sweetest thing That this boy has ever seen Molly went to Arkansas, she got bit by Dobbin's dog Well, she was doing good till she went in the woods And got pinned up against a log “Pretty good, not bad, she can't complain Cause actually all them dogs are just about the same” Moonlight makes me dizzy Sunlight makes me clean Your light is the sweetest thing That this boy has ever seen I heard Allah and Buddha were singing at the Savior's feast And up the sky and Arabian rabbi Fed Quaker oats to a priest “Pretty good, not bad, they can't complain Cause actually all them gods are just about the same” “Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain Cause actually everything is just about the same”

You're over me, I'm over you There's nothing about you that could make me feel blue I gave you all, you gave me nothing It doesn't even matter cuz you know I was bluffing I'm doing great, oh I'm amazing My mind is a mess but I guess I'll embrace it I'm feeling grand, I'm doing fine I'm wasting every minute of my precious time I left you cold, but you invite it When you lock up your soul, boy, you know you incite it I don't need you, you don't need me I definitely don't think about you endlessly I'm doing great, oh I'm amazing My mind is a mess but I guess I'll embrace it I'm feeling grand, I'm doing fine I'm wasting every minute of my precious time For every truth, you told ten lies But don't you think you're the reason for the tears that I cry I wanted love, you weren't offering But who said loneliness was such a bad, bad thing? I'm doing great, oh I'm amazing My mind is a mess but I guess I'll embrace it I'm feeling grand, I'm doing fine I'm wasting every minute of my goddamn time

Summer 03:13
You came into the house with a towel at your waist Asked if I wanted you now, or if I could wait You led me down the street with the sunkissed pines Always knew you would go and leave me behind It’s better to love and lose, at least that’s what they say You came to love and I came to lose, left in this faded summer day I came to lose I came to lose I came to lose I came to lose These summer blues These summer blues
