Picking up the things you left,
I never thought Iād be so upset
about every time you told me you
donāt ever wanna see me again
I donāt mind if you stay tonight
itās just another promise you never meant
like all those times you told me you
donāt ever wanna see me again
and then āI love you and youāll always be my friendā
I tried to play by your rules
but youāve been making them up as you go
though I tried, you told me you
donāt ever wanna see me again
and then āI love you and youāll always be my friendā
I love you and youāll always be my friend

Shark's Mouth

If you wanna be caught in some sharkās mouth
spill a bucket of blood in the water
or take the Chinatown down to your old house
and spend a lonely night up with your father
Heāll deck the halls with blood red and gold
you never felt so scared to be alone
til now

I know youāre scheming again tonight
but youāre sincerely upset so I ask you what you want
but the late night stores donāt keep it stocked
Woke up to sweetness and then he tried
some ācall the policeā shit again but I couldnāt make the call
cause thereās something that always makes me stop
Woke up to sweetness again

Everytime you say you wanna know me I get anxious
cause I would probably tell you about some dumb shit
āyou wanna hear this story about the time we got arrested at a crack den?
My auntie let us in her name was Mendez, no relation
Krys and I jumped out the bathroom window when they came in
Krys and I came crashing out the window, but they were waiting
Earlier that day we were both clean
but then somebody said,
āCome back to me because itās easy
Come back to me, Iāll make you happy
Come back to me and I will make it easy
Come back to me because Iām wrongāā

Goodbye / Trouble

goodbye, Skinny told you
āYou donāt know me til I say I know youā
goodbye, beneath the bleachers
$60 for your metal t-shirt
goodbye, goodbye
Hand on your throat
you bet til you choke
and itās hell til you fold
goodbye, did it make it stop
when you chained that pack of cigarettes and copped?
goodbye, he said āI canāt ignore you,
Iāve been trying but I still adore youā
goodbye, goodbye
Hand on your throat
you bet til you choke
and itās hell til you fold
You took an L round Union Square
I never thought that I would find you there
while I was waiting for the sound of god
or any other who could tell me Iām wrong
I took a wallet chain to the head
you didnāt notice but Iāll never forget
how you stayed in trouble
Yeah Iāll stick around you
it doesnāt matter if youāre rubber or glue
cause I would wait for the son of god
or any other who could tell me Iām wrong
I sold some shit to some shady broās
you took the money but you left me their clothes and
your pain and trouble
stayed in trouble

I wonāt love again after you
and I know what youād say if I asked you to stay
but I donāt want to
Fuck Iām paranoid, like my mom
and I wished she would say
āSweetie Iām going away
cause I donāt love youā
I donāt love you
donāt love you

Clearer Picture (of You)
02:43
|
|

Maybe I could pretend
it wasnāt like this til the very end
and goddamn you sure had suffered enough
but my love couldnāt cover it up
I saw a clearer picture of you
Maybe I could pretend
I wasnāt blown off by one of my friends
and it hurt when you stuck me again,
was it something that I shouldnāt have said?
I saw a clearer picture of you
Maybe I could pretend
Iām no different than a tool in the shed
and if itās sharp then youāll cut til itās dull
If it floats fuck the hole in the hull
I know your mama treated you bad
but now youāre treating me pretty bad
I saw a clearer picture of you
I saw a clearer picture of you

Best Behavior
02:52
|
|
||
|
You got the radio playing and all I can think is to change it
to some shit I hate
itās better than something that you like
You got a Big New Job so now you can act like itās all right
but itās not
itās never gonna be all right
And itās true, sometimes Iām wrong
but Iām on my best behavior, do you like it?
Hereās a photograph where I look like Iām having a good time
but Iām not
and I know you can notice the difference
You got Big Tough Hands so now you can act like itās all right.
Itās a lie,
but I canāt say any different
And itās true, sometimes Iām wrong
but Iām on my best behavior, do you like it?

Hoping You're Doing Okay
02:47
|
|
||
|
Crawling hours drilling your teeth
you sweat through all of your clothes,
tossed off south 16th street
with some friend you donāt wanna know
Pull your sleeves down though it is 93 degrees
cause itās not the way that you are
itās what they wanna see, Oh Lord
I still hope your name donāt appear
in some obituary.
I know itās so unclear
when youāve begged so long on bruised knees
Couldnāt feel, couldnāt
convince myself I was real
cause itās not the way that you are
itās what they wanna see, Oh Lord
Could you see? were you
conscious as they packed to leave?
cause itās not the way that you are
itās what you wanna be, donāt go
No, itās not the way that you are
itās what you soon will be
donāt go
