The months of social awkwardness to tears shed in her blanket and switching off from nights at her house to fighting in the basement.
I know you're gonna hate me for this but I'm to write this song. The pink pillows at Liza's house won't miss you at all.
The amount of spit you swapped is absurd, I know from the garage. You could use a breath mint I've heard, it's days spent at "The Spot".
I know you're gonna hate me for this.
I know you're gonna hate me.

Hey listen up dude you're reeking highly of douche and I don't really care how much you paid for your shoes. The size of your wallet is the lamest excuse for your lack in the sack, you can suck on the truth.
Not to be offensive I just want to let you know.
You're a prick and a dick, and you've got a fucked up ego. Listen to me clearly, for one simple breathless second. You're a prick, total dick and I am sick and tired of it.

She's the one that has gotten away with taking a swing at my life and not miss. She's the one that told me to jump into the water.
Her name was Cherry, Cherry Rye.
Good ol' Cherry Rye was going to the supermarket.
Cherry, so divine.
Good ol' Cherry Rye left my life at the supermarket.
She's the one that always took my calls even though it wasn't worth it at all. I didn't have much to say, but I guess it didn't matter to her anyway.

Johnny said he got abducted by aliens in the drive-thru at Taco Bell. Take me to your leader please, I have some unfinished business with these outer space freaks.
It's way past midnight and we're driving out with a god damn craving for some Taco Bell. We ordered at least 40 supreme's stuffing our fat faces on this hot evening.
Johnny said he got abducted by aliens in the drive-thru at Taco Bell. Take me to your leader please, I have some unfinished business with these outer space freaks.
Extra-Terrestrial creatures came in their bad ass spaceship on this hot evening. They burned the whole god damn place down. That was the last Taco Bell to ever hit this town.

48 Days

Hey dude. I'm gonna have to fill you in on everything that's happened to me since you went. Despite all of my sadness on your departure today, I'm feeling quite relieved and happy because this girl just made my day.
It's now mid-June. Please come home soon. Everyone still here is missing you.
For these 3 months I'll be okay because I won't be in that place with all the people that I hate, just getting through another day. But you'll be gone for 48 Days, though the last 14 held some really great things.
Hey dude. I'm walking past your house right now thinking that you're on the inside and you are coming right outside. But truth has hit me hard and I'm laying on my back wishing I could just knock on the door. But then it hits me and I'm remembering..
It's now mid-June. Please come home soon. Everyone still here is missing you.

One Year Ago

Turn back the clocks three spins at a time and come back to this old place when things were alright. The peak of June 9th and we felt so alive, but what you were then is now plain out of sight.
Looked at my life from this rusty old mirror. Your face is the same, but now unfamiliar. Places the same, but the people have changed. I'm happier now and I don't miss a thing.
One Year Ago I had it all and now I'm here to tell the story. Times will change at a sonic pace and It's funny how they'll be gone by morning.

Sinking Ships

The ship is sinking. We can't accept defeat. E-16, there goes our self-esteem. The douchebag kids are all rocking Adidas and mom and dad are paying all the expenses. We're going in waist deep, keep a good eye so we don't sink.
Don't run your mouth cause everything will turn around. So taste your own words and stuff your face with dirt. Abandon all hope, a dead man out at sea. Take a good look cause there's nothing to believe.
December 18th, they sound all promising but I'm smarter to know they'll never buy a damn CD. The douchebag kids are all rocking Adidas and mom and dad are paying all the expenses. We're going in waist deep, keep a good eye so we don't sink.
I know, they'll never buy a damn CD.
I know, there's nothing to believe.

Five Block Walks

A cold ass night on Hamlin and Conan said "we're not even half way there man". We found ourselves talking about last year's shenanigans. Remember when we flooded Daisy's basement and ran to Exit 7? Remember when glazed doughnuts were some good bucks spent like Adventure Time hats and stealing RJ's wristbands? It's a time in our lives where we felt bad ass. Liza hated September, and she's still pissed at the world. "Dude I never thought it would come form a dry erase board!"
Let's go to "The Spot" man is what her text said. I replied I can't because I have band practice. I don't what happened I just can't explain it. The absence of Hamlin is so hard to deal with.
Moshing in the dark to Sum 41, I sucked Lukasz' toe in front of everyone. I tried to mend a past love and it didn't work out, but Selvio and Daisy are dating now. I broke a mirror in Rj's bathtub just to find a shower. There goes seven years of bad luck. "Who knows that douchebag with his shirt off? He went and swam naked and scared all the girls off."
I know it's all in my head. It's just a fucked up mindset, I don't know what happened, I guess I'll see you on Hamlin.

Winter's Route

I haven't seen the grass since last November. This town is suffering from a lack of color and all the spirits of my friends are down. Winter's Route is dragging out and effecting everyone around.
It's hitting April now and It's getting old. All the nights spent in that basement surviving the cold. It's been quite the joy ride watching us pass our time and it's quite the silly thing to say but it's been like a second home.
This song is for everyone back at home waiting for Summer to come staring blank out windows seeing absolutely nothing but an incing of snow. Let's just sit back and watch the route roll, cause there's not much to go.
