Last friday night you met me
And we walked to Grandview Park
Drinkin’ Dat Juice
On a tree stump after dark
Yeah, you told me all your reasons
Why you feel we’re still apart
As we passed that
Rusted backhoe in the yard
On kitchener and Cotton Street
We walked back to your house
And we went upstairs
And made out on your couch
And you asked me
When you kissed me
If I wanna
Operate it
But the only
heavy machinery I want
To operate is
you
Yeah the only
Heavy machinery I want
To operate is
you
Some friday night we’ll meet up
And we’ll go to Grandview Park
We’ll drink Dat Juice
On a tree stump after dark
Its you baby
I want to operate it
Its you baby
Heavy machinery

I thought we had everything
I thought we were doing fine
But if you don’t know
What I’m asking for
We’re running out of time
I thought you were everything
I thought that you were mine
But you say
I live in a dreamworld baby
At least I can confide
And if you don’t wanna try
I’ll be just another guy
In the wake you leave behind
You finally got your summer
And I guess I got my answer
I dreamed that it was over
Don’t say goodbye
I thought you’d be there for me
I thought that you would see
But then when I needed you most
Now, baby
You lost your faith in me
Did you get some bad advice?
Did you feel you had no choice
When you locked it all inside?
You finally got your summer
And I guess I got my answer
I dreamed that it was over
Don’t say goodbye
And now we have nothing
But old T-shirts and free time
And I count the days
Since I talked to you
I guess my heart is blind
Yeah now we have nothing
Just me singing about the time
That I cried so hard
When I let you go
I thought you’d change
I thought you’d change your mind
Did you get some bad advice?
Did you feel you had no choice
When you locked it all inside?
You finally got your summer
And I guess I got my answer
I’m grieving like a soldier
Don’t say goodbye

Nothing Is Good Enough

You spike my guns
You tie my hands
Take the wind out of my sails
You cut me down
A peg or two
You dig the ground
From underneath me
Throw a wrench in my machine
You sabotage until I fail
Because Nothing is Good Enough
For you, nothing
Nothing is good enough for you
Yeah nothing is good enough
For you, nothing
Nothing is
Good enough
You’ve said the same
Old thing for years
About how things are gonna change
But never once
Have given in
And all upsets
Along the way
Have multiplied to make today
A bitter tasting medicine
Because Nothing is Good Enough
For you, nothing
Nothing is good enough for you
Yeah nothing is good enough
For you, nothing
Nothing is
Good enough

This is the time I pass my fears away
I’m truly hurtin’
Feel uncertain
On this day
Too many problems circling ‘round my head
They’re needling at me
Feeding on me
Won’t get away
Mosquito
Just won’t let it go
Mosquito
Just won’t let it go
There’s never a time when this will feel ok
You beat your wings
At silly things
Your one mistake
Mosquito
Just won’t let it go
Mosquito
Just won’t let it go
This is the time I pass my tears away
I’m truly hurtin’
Feel uncertain
On this day
Mosquito
Just won’t let it go
Fucking Mosquito
Just won’t let it go

Undivided

She waits so
Long to find the
Heart of a lie
He stays alone
Undivided by
All the burdens
And the heartache in his life
All the broken bonds and strife
And In the bedroom
They are turning in the night
Who is wrong and who is right
She turns cold
Holding back her
Feelings outside
He looks away
Undivided by
All the moments
Where the distance seems to grow
All the fears that she won’t show
And If some tenderness
Could bring her back inside
Bridge across the last divide
He abides
Makes him feel alive
He abides
Makes him feel alive
Feel alive
