7 am on a Tuesday sky
Glasses on my face as I make for my ride.
Uber down to a friends favorite dive
The deep sunrises as it hits me in the eye
Angeline
Angeline
Angeline
Angeline
The future’s coming fast with tomorrow in my mind
My baby’s in the backseat watching life go by
She’s going to fill you up when you need a place to lie
Babies in the backseat watching life go by
Angeline

Angeline
Once upon a time, I knew her as a backseat driver.
Now I can’t imagine reasons why.
She’s probably in Los Angeles making dudes cry.
But I miss her in a taxi watching pigeons fly.

I don’t know where you are,
but I left my wallet in your car.

Parking Lots in America

Swing your hips so free
I’m feeling you as you come
Like a movie scene, the kind I like the best
Where I get the girl who wants to be saved
And we’ll do a dance.
I’m feeling you, groovy.
I want to dance with you through every parking lot in every town in America.
I’ve got a secret I’d like to share with you
Move closer to my body.
I like the feeling of your head on my stomach
As we lay watching stars, even when they are hard to see.
I want to dance with you through every parking lot in every town in America.
I want to skip with you through all the hills and through valleys in every town in America.
I’m coming. So come in.
I want to dance with you through every parking lot in every town in America.
I want to skip with you through all the hills and through valleys in every town in America.
I want to lay with you in every green grass field in every park in America.
I want to skank with you through all the punk rock clubs in every slum in America.

It's not in your eyes, it's not in your smile
It's not in the way write a miracle mile
It's not in the touch it's not just the sound
It's not just the light you feel when you're coming around
Chocolate and wine, are so very fine
And so are you
When you drink coffee, coffee, coffee
Coffee, coffee, coffee
Cinnamon brew as I'm waiting for you
We'll have coffee for two
It's not just a kiss, I'll sit and I'll miss you for days on end
I'll be your best friend,
But you are gone, my heart goes on
And I'll drink coffee, coffee coffee
Coffee coffee coffee
Cinnamon brew as I'm waiting for you
We'll have coffee for two
I don't like the taste but I don't want to waste my night wishing I had spoken to you
So if that's what you need, I'll be here through and through.
I'll write you a song, in a hotel bar,
one you can sing along to
And leave a text, telling you that I have gone...
Out to get coffee, coffee coffee
Coffee coffee coffee
Cinnamon brew as I'm waiting for you
We'll have coffee for two
A cinnamon brew as I'm waiting for you
We'll have coffee for two

You have a beautiful voice
I like to hear as I’m waking up
I can hear you now,
Out in the hallway.
And you have the kind of sunset
that I can fall in love with.
And you have resounding phrases about you somehow.
And you can be the echo that brings me back to let go
Of all the empty corners that I’ve seen.
And you have the kind of smile
that helps me see for miles
and I don’t need an atlas
when you’re near.
And I can see your forecast is running toward a fortress
because I sent a tornado through your life.
But I, didn’t mean to make you cry, or have a bad day, no, I,
just wanted to hear you sing.
And I didn’t mean to make you cry
or have a bad day no I
just wanted to hear you sing.
Because you have a beautiful voice,
and you make a beautiful noise, and I,
I just wanted to hear you sing.

Heaven Knows

Listen to me.
I’ll tell you a story.
It’s not so useless anymore.
This is the part when
we fall apart and
you cannot remember me anymore.
And I remember the secrets you told me. And now my daughter’s playing before me.
Haven’t you been gone for a bit too long for me?
And heaven knows when you’ll come home.
Her name is Charlie.
She likes to color on her shoes.
A beautiful baby,
now she’s already turning two.
And this is the part where you
remember how it feels,
to fall apart and then
remember that you’re real
Sometimes breakdowns take a bit more time to heal.
But we’ll get there someday still.
And I remember the secrets you told me. And now my daughter’s playing before me.
Haven’t you been gone for a bit too long for me?
And heaven knows when you’ll come home.
And I remember when
you told me you were wrong.
How you should’ve stayed
and you’d remember where you’re from;
You should’ve stayed and fixed
the problems that you caused.
And I’d know where you’re coming from.
And I remember the secrets you told me. And now my daughter’s playing before me.
Haven’t you been gone for a bit too long for me?
And heaven knows when you’ll come home.
Haven’t you been gone for a bit too long for me? Heaven knows this is your home.

Teenage DropOut

Have you listened to a word I’ve said?
Or are you too busy being 15?
I know that mini skirts and make up
seem so important
And so is being top of the scene
You’re a teenage dropout
Don’t be a fall out
Boy, you’re going to get hurt.
You’re the football captain.
You can bench-press 315
But it don’t mean a thing
if you’re talking to me
Do you wear your heart on your sleeve?
And I want to know if your heart can grow, can your heart beat a little faster?
Then do it..
Teenage dropout
Don’t be a fallout
Boy, you’re going to get hurt
You’re a teenage dropout
Don’t be a fallout
Boy, you’re going to get hurt
Teenage dropout
Don’t be a fallout
boy, you’re going to get hurt.
Don’t be a teenage dropout
Don’t be a fallout
Boy, you’re going to get hurt
Don’t do it...
