Young Lungs

Long Beach confidence
the valley and the skirts
drink up the arrogance
'cause I'm your favorite, I'm your favorite
true loves a rule I'd pay to break
this cities built on buying fame
they call it El Segundo
but I'll be your first
LAX is splitting the ozone
young lungs still burn
you don't know where I've been
just a reel without a hook
I don't know where I'll be
just an asterix in the story book
true loves a rule I'd pay to break
this cities built on buying fame
the solution to pollution is dilution or infusion
desperate lives
don't forget the reasons you love me

West Coast Slide

no one wants to live forever
without love
on the west coast slide
skipping class like it's over
and the skirt begs why
little birds on your shoulder
but the ink ain't dry
23 is a number that brings me back
young enough to remember a prom night flask
substitute the curves of your body
for the stories and pain that divide me
substitute your name on the blank sheet
for moment where principals are fought
why you wanna run forever?
shattered love
in your hands tonight
no one wants to live forever
without love
on the west coast slide
teachers know that lessons are sealed in blood
tenured love is a prison, just to tie us up
when the chance is a drug that makes us whole
hit the breaks and let our hands grown
why you wanna run forever?
shattered love
in your hands tonight
no one wants to live forever
without love
on the west coast slide
why you wanna run forever?
your school charm is keeping me from leaving
I'll lose your number in the back of a Lincoln
why you wanna run?
on the west coast slide

Sunset on High Street

bet your bottom dollar
it won't last that long
hopeless outside the moat
shedding like a flower
honey on your breathe
god knows how far you'll go
others tried to love you
claiming the free pass
cobwebs consume the postal code
wading through eternity
for the next clean dream
it's 81 degrees
now you're crawling back to me
it's too late, it's too late
the price we pay
skidrow's gonna make you cry
skidrow's gonna make you cry tonight
the homeless ain't lonely
it's sunset on high street
poverty is all we see
the homeless ain't lonely
the homeless ain't lonely tonight

A Measure of Life

she held a thrift store pose with Cure on the stereo
a pastor for the scene
the way she stood on her toes for songs that she didn't know
and lyrics kids can't read
she was pretty in pink with sleeves like an artifact
multiplied the treason
but he was holding her hand with claws like a weatherman
I'll wait another season
please stand here for a minute
I'll find a way to make it
and cross that frozen garden line
please wait here for a minute
I'll find a way to leave it
I'll find a way to make you hurt
when the borders long gone and we're reunited
you won't break for me
when our secret of love is drowned on the stereo
just choose the wedding theme
now you swear you're back with eyes that can haunt me
and bruises left on your knees
just a punk rock queen lost in your coronation
this night belongs to me
please stand here for a minute
I'll find a way to make it
and cross that frozen garden line
please wait here for a minute
I'll find a way to leave it
I'll find a way to make you hurt
in a moment they're gone and I'm left and holding
it takes a moment
leave your name on the stereo
and you don't know what it's like
just stand on your toes and watch me, watch me go
just stand on your toes for lyrics you didn't know
just stand on your toes and watch me, watch me go

Last Flight
04:06

I'm saving this high for you and me
the summers at your door
schools out for summer
don't watch it fall apart
it's up to you
it's up to me and you
can slow this down
arrows scrape across our skies
summer blood behind the scenes
carve a note inside a tree
and you'll forget these songs
come on and lay down
can't let go
summer blood, they know
it's up to you
can slow this down
arrows scrape across our skies
the silver lines around the truth
are dry enough to shield your view
the silver lines around the truth
are dry enough to shield me from you
can't slow this love in real time
the silver lines around the truth
can't slow this love in real time

Payola (Numbers Game)
03:49

the devil can judge
you're on the same side looking in
the grass is orange
a whore to the spin
a degree is a crutch they sold you
100,000 thin
now your fathers selling off the last drop
now your mothers selling off the grave plots
more than a number
spare the world the trust fund perspective
your tongues too blue
Williamsburg is safe for the rich kids
just choose the avenue
one day you'll wake up and realize
it's a numbers game
guess who's caught holding the last
guess who's caught roaming the same blocks
more than a number
one day you'll realize (more than a number)

For James
03:15

stow your eyes, there's always something to cry about
save your mind, death it thrives in defeat
leave the children they don't know better
sticks and stones from lace and leather
cleaning out the sand between the sheets
cold sober frowns, you're older now
listen to the warning
is it colder on the inside (crooked house)
is it colder on the inside (needles pound)
is it colder on the inside (crooked how?)
is it colder on the inside?
hold on to me
shed your bones, there's always marrow to keep afloat
grind your teeth for quid between the sleeves
leave a note for the untamed spirits
moving up north, I'm your outer limit
21 degrees will keep you clean
is it colder on the inside (crooked house)
is it colder on the inside (needles pound)
is it colder on the inside (crooked how?)
is it colder on the inside?
hold on to me
let me be
hold on to what we leave between
just hold on to me

Trifecta

share the bounce
let's make this count
and find our own way
share the bounce
just turn me upside down
forget the small change
turn me off, the fire keeps spitting
it's closing time
so lock the door, it's safety in numbers
and warm behind the blinds
whoever said that three was a crowd
didn't know just where to start
whoever said that two was enough
was blinded by the simple visions
share the bounce
let's make this count
and find our own way
share the bounce
just turn me upside down
forget the small change
whoever swore, that faith was worth faking
was passed out on the stand
you'll never know that I was your answer
just a marble inside, inside your hand
share the bounce
let's make this count
and find our own way
share the bounce
just turn me upside down
forget the small change

Tigerbeats
04:07

Frankford Avenue is where I'm gonna find you
riding over the tracks of the 15
fixed gear lovers
the shadows that bind two
steal some sugar and just close your eyes
sign that treaty
drown on the Delaware
it's not over, it's not over, it's not over
light that cigarette, abandon the fresh air
it's not over until
we got the tigerbeats
keeping us on our feet
taking it to the streets
(I gotta feel from you the other side)
we got the tigerbeats
keeping us on our feet
taking it to the streets
(the stage is ours tonight)
from the other side...
Monday lights are burning the city kids
it's not over, it's our future, it's our future
dirty dreamers and the tickets to short clips
it's not over until...
we got the tigerbeats
keeping us on our feet
taking it to the streets
(I gotta feel from you the other side)
we got the tigerbeats
keeping us on our feet
taking it to the streets
(the stage is ours tonight)
the stage is mine tonight
TIGER
you're a star
cross my heart

Mavericks

it takes a lifetime to find it
and when you wanna ride it
that ghost is gone
some waves lose control in the evening
when the seagulls aren't stealing
we just want to know that feeling
of falling
takes a moment to free a man
when the leash finds the coral hands
you'll find out that god's in another league
there's a half moon inside of me
it takes a lifetime to find it
and when you wanna ride it
that ghost is gone
backwash skin feels like love
lying on your back, just staring at the stars above
it's that fleeting moment, that fleeting moment
it takes a lifetime to find it
and when you wanna ride it
that ghost is gone
is it smooth inside?
ride the barrel of the maverick high
is it smooth inside?
lose your edge and you lose, cause she'll make you try
she'll make you try
ride the barrel of the maverick high
she'll make you try
lose your edge and you lose, cause she'll make you cry
it takes a lifetime
