1.My Last Semester
I'm not sad anymore, I'm just tired of this place.
The weight of the world be okay
if it would pick a shoulder to lean on
So I could stand up straight.
I'm not sad anymore, I'm just tired of this place.
The homophobic bullshit that's somehow okay
Just because you didn't mean it that way.
I can't take anymore of all the scum in this place.
Shitty dudes with tribal tattoos all around,
Lining up cheap beer and roofies for a party at their place.
Trying to convince freshmen they're somebody
By spending all of their parents' money on kegstands
And Matt says I don't fit in.
All this mallrat goth shit is killing me.
Thought that would end with high school at least.
But there are still kids and Matt says
'College hit those dudes like a ton of bricks.'
So they're calling it blasphemy,
A fucking catastrophe
For saying it's a stupid choice to make.
But this place just brings misery.
I hate what it does to me.
I fight, but I can't escape the way
that I don't fit in with any of this.
And I don't think we're the same.
I'm fucking losing my head trying to understand this.
Kids outside with guitars hoping for someone to notice.
No one wants to hear your sappy bullshit.
All these fake-tan girls laughing at art school kids
Getting lots in return for being substance-less.
You're too caught in semantics to see it,
But you're no fucking different.
So they're calling it blasphemy,
A fucking catastrophe
For saying it's a stupid choice to make.
But this place just brings misery.
I hate what it does to me.
I fight, but I can't escape the way
that I don't fit in with any of this.
And I don't think we're the same.
No.
I'm not sad anymore, I'm just waiting.
It's two more months 'til I'm done with this.
And I don't make sense to anyone but my best friends.
And I don't fit in anywhere but the back of the van.
And I don't make sense to anyone but my best friends.
And I don't fit in anywhere but the back of the van.
So they're calling it blasphemy,
A fucking catastrophe
For saying it's a stupid choice to make.
2.Logan Circle
They turned on the fountain today
at Logan Circle
I felt something in me change
I was thinking about
How we all feel,
but the worlds not such a shitty place
We just can't blame the seasons
The Blue Man Group won't cure depression
I can see we brought it on ourselves
With bad attitudes and
You should come by at eleven,
You haven't seen the new apartment
We'll laugh about the shit we got into in high school
and I can't pretend
I'm afraid that we're wasting away
'cause we're all sleeping in circles
or talking shit in diners
and I've been better, but I'm feeling okay
I'm not even sad anymore
I'm just so tired most nights
And I've been drowning my sorrows
In Lucky Charms and Soy Milk
These are the things that keep me sane
Getting pretzels at midnight behind my house
at the price you, can't complain
We set of fireworks
Piss off the whole neighborhood
They keep me up having sex anyway
Seem much worse
We'll set off a few more
Maybe I'll blow off a piece of this city I hate
I'm afraid that we're wasting away
'cause we're all sleeping in circles
or talking shitty diners
and I've been better but I'm feeling ok
I'm not even sad anymore
I'm just so tired most nights
They turned on the fountain today
at Logan Circle

I'm not even sad anymore
I'm just so tired most nights
3.Everything I Own Fits In This Backpack
I woke up today
And put all my shit in boxes.
It's 8：00 AM, so I'm glad I wasn't out late.
And I woke up today.
Guess it's good, I hadn't finished.
I'm packing all of this in the first place.
Suburbs have abandoned me.
I've had the same best friend since '93.
I call, he's not answering.
No. I can't get comfortable on my own street.
I'm not fond of south Philly
Or how my neighbors love ICP.
I guess it's better than Bancroft street.
At least the fridge here works and the walls don't leak, at
least.
I'm starting to see what's left for me.
I'm starting to.
We've moved on again so I packed my shit and left home.
It's alright to think I still belong to something.
I don't. Guess I can see why you'd think so.
Nothing made me feel further away
Than 'Left and Leaving' through a blown car stereo.
Nothing made me feel closer to home
So we reached the coast, but where do we sleep tonight？
Damned if I know.
We'll try to stay at the airport.
They can't send us home and we've got no place to go.
We've moved on again so I packed my shit and left home.
It's alright to think I still belong to something.
I don't. Guess I can see why you'd think so.
Guess I can see why you'd think so.
Don't say it's up to me.
Don't say it's up to me.
Don't say it's up to me.
Don't say it's up to me.
For some reason, the floor boards are calling out to me.
I'm laying here again with my head on my backpack, wrapped in my
hoodie.
We've moved on again so I packed my shit and left home.
It's alright to think I still belong to something.
I don't. Guess I can see why you'd think so.
I know how this must look from the outside
It took almost 13 months
For me to be where I feel fine
I'm not as sad as I'll let myself believe sometimes
4.Dynamite Shovel
West South Beach, Tennessee
Down where the ignorant fucks of the world meet
For donuts and coffee
Spewing rhetoric I thought was reserved for
Westboro Baptist and lunatics like that
So you can hide behind the bible
We still know you're false
Inbreeding can't blame this one
So chalk it up
These small town minds stay small
The world evolves so stay in your shithole
We're moving on
Someone should burn this place to the ground
I'll see you motherfuckers in hell
5.New Years With Carl Weathers
Two miles from the hotel, eight hundred from home
We're forced to call on all we know
But all we know's a joke
The van just started shaking, coughing out black smoke
We're pulling off in a parking lot cause this might just explode
Cause it's New Year's Eve and four degrees
We're stranded, hopeless
I just want some sleep
Drew's too busy sexting with some girl he met last show
Tripping balls from the soft effects of the Nyquil overdose
Nobody's been asking how we're gonna get home
Cause we all know
We'll deal with it tomorrow
Yeah, we know
It's gonna be our year, boys
I'd speak up
But I'm waiting for the irony to fall asleep without me
And we'll wait and see
With some luck and patching up
I think I'll be home this week
We'll deal with it our own way
And we'll stay, and we'll wait, and we'll wake
And this awkward mess we've make
A landscape forged from pizza crust
And what's left of the case
We'll make friends in every state
Like the cops in parking lot or staff of Steak'N'Shake
It's gonna be our year, boys
I'd speak up
But I'm waiting for the irony to fall asleep without me
And we'll wait and see
With some luck and patching up
I think I'll be home this week
But I'm too tired to speak
I'll say, hey man, I'll see you in Cleveland
Someone go tell the universe we're not concerned
We know it's out to get us
We'll never learn
So if you're thinking you just got the best of me
Man, we don't go down that easy
It's gonna be our year, boys
I'd speak up
But I'm waiting for the irony to fall asleep without me
And we'll wait and see
With some luck and patching up
I think I'll be home this week
6.It's Never Sunny In South Philadelphia
It's goddamn freezing in this city
There's no heat in my room
It's like it never stops raining
And I'm soaked through
My life's become this tightrope act
One wrong step, I'm off the edge
So now I'm scared to death of an ear infection
It's like I'm chasing ambulances
Trying to pull out something from the wreckage
Nothing ever goes the way we fucking planned it
Cause most days are bad days
We can't wait for someone to pull me off of the concrete
We stopped standing proud a year ago now
What you see is just a shell of who I used to be
I can't believe I got this weak
I'm stuck here wide awake
In the wake of bad news
We know now what's at stake
And I'm scared too
You know that I can't take naps
Cause they end in panic attacks
I can't play video games
Cause I always end up depressed
I can't be left alone now for even a second
I'm a burden but at least I know it
Most days are bad days
We can't wait for someone to pull me off of the concrete
We stopped standing proud a year ago now
What you see is just a shell of who I used to be
I can't believe I got this weak
And I don't think I love anything
The way that some people love Morrissey
It's just that nothing speaks to me that way
And I, I can tell you that the world looks bleak
From where I'm sitting at the bottom of the city
But no matter where you sit
The skyline looks the same
And I don't think I love anything like ...
Most days are bad days, we can't just wait ...
7.Hostels ＆ Brothels
So you found me on the floor split open at the seems
Lights of Birmingham are wet and blur in front of me
Today we woke up at one
But it gets dark here at three
It's getting hard to believe in anything
Today I called up my dad
Said I'm off balance and weak
Feeling homesick for things I know don't think of me
He said it's gonna get lighter, son
Just wait there and see
It's getting hard to believe
Last night in Leeds
Al and I found ourselves running the city
Looking for pizza, only found listed places
Seeing somewhere to sleep
I'm still waiting for the map to say
Home's a week away
The boys are drowning in Strongbow
I'm amazed they can breathe
Weebles just got caught stealing a Christmas tree
We drove all the way to Glasgow
Just to watch our defeat
But the floor against the bed last night was too heavy
Last night in Leeds
Joe was talking to some barmaid
Trying to get lucky
I think it almost worked until he ran into Bobby
Kid pulled the cockblock of the century
I'm still waiting for the map to say
Home's a week away
Unless Great Britain comes to me and says
It's not so bad if you don't look at it that way
Last night in Leeds
The world collapsed all around me
Along with the shelf in the basement of Liv's house
By two or three, I thought we'd lost Josh and Mikey
They were skyhooking cans they hadn't emptied out
Last night in Leeds
I know we woke all the neighbors
I don't think anybody slept that night
Last night in Leeds
Things got a bit lighter
I guess my dad was right
I'm still waiting for the map to say
Home's a week away
Unless Great Britain comes to me and says
It's not so bad if you don't look at it that way
I'm still waiting for the map to say
Home's a week away
I'm still waiting for the map to say
Home's a week away
8.Melrose Diner
I hate your bad tattoos and your second-hand stories
Those anecdotes that grew old last month
I hate the way you move when you're drunk and try dancing
It's not sexy, it's just keeping us up
And I'm just not fond of anyone
And that's got everything to do with us
I hate the way I get when I can't handle bad news
It feels like I've been an asshole for months
All I've got left are these handfuls of fuck you
Man, that's never enough
I guess I'm just down
I guess I'll be honest, I could use you around
I can't stand the dork that you're hanging with now
I guess I'll be honest, I could use you around
I hate the way that you can't keep your hair straight
I hate the way that you're leaning on me
I hate the way that you point out when girls are staring
Because you know that I won't do a thing
I hate the context clues you leave out of your writing
Because I can't find myself here at all
You know that I hate when you call me wasted
I expect it whenever you call
I guess I'm just down
I guess I'll be honest, I could use you around
I can't stand the dork that you're hanging with now
I guess I'll be honest, I could use you around
I could use you around
I could use you around now
My friends all say he's just a b-rate version of me
He's stuck on video games and weed
They're just trying to help me get to sleep
So my friends all say you're sitting way too close to me
That I should just get up and leave
It's like I'm weighed down to the seat
And my friends all say he's just the broke-dick version of me
They're just trying to help me get some sleep
I know he's what you need
I guess I'm just down
I guess I'll be honest, I could use you around
I can't stand the dork that you're hanging with now
I guess I'll be honest, I could use you around
I could use you around
I could use you around
I could use you around
I could use you around
9.This Party Sucks
In case you were wondering
I can't get comfortable in my own skin
But it was bound to happen
In case you were wondering,
I'm twenty three and avoiding the bar scene,
Light blue pants, and designer jeans.
In case you were wondering,
I'm staying in.
I won't smell like cheap perfume or cigarettes tonight.
And every word that I said got drowned out
by a dance remix of a pop song I don't care about.
In case you forgot how bad I've been down,
just ask around 'cause you know this town loves to run its
mouth.
Say, say you'll stay in with me today.
Say, say you'll stay.
'Cause you won't find me on the north Jersey club scene
With the Girls Gone Wild B-team.
I don't need to pump my fist to look sweet.
In case you were wondering,
I promised myself that I would try to be more social at parties.
Can someone tell these kids
liking the rain no longer counts as an idiosyncrasy.
In fact, I think that Rupert Holmes wrote a song about it in the
'70s.
And consequently, he also saved the Pina Colada industry.
Say, say you'll stay in with me today.
Say, say you'll stay.
'Cause you won't find me on the north Jersey club scene
With the Girls Gone Wild B-team.
I don't need to pump my fist to look sweet.
Say, say, say, say you'll stay.
Say, say, say, say you'll stay.
I can't believe I ended up here again
watching this terrible band play songs I hate in the basement.
I can't believe that I got stuck here again
while the kid with the dreads tells me he's smarter on acid.
I can't believe that I'm not running away so just say,
Say, say, say, say you'll stay.
Say, say you'll stay in with me today.
Say, say you'll stay.
'Cause you won't find me on the north Jersey club scene
With the Girls Gone Wild B-team.
I don't need to pump my fist to look sweet.
Say, say, say, say you'll stay.
10.Hey Thanks (Feat. Rachel Minton ＆ Matt Belanger)
The Wonder Years - Hey Thanks
Hey thanks for everything
For putting up with me when I get cranky
I know I'm such a pain
And yeah thanks for losing everything with me
The night we went to Atlantic City
Of course it had to rain
And you think that I'm angry
But I think that you're sad
We know it's not so bad
Here living the life we have
So hey thanks for not hating me
When I wake you up at eight in the morning
Because I lost the keys
And yeah thanks for staying in with me
I know you'd probably rather be out drinking
Than in with the TV
And you think that I'm angry
But I think that you're sad
We know it's not so bad
Here living the life we have
So hey thanks
And you think that I'm angry
But I think that you're sad
We know it's not so bad
Here living the life we have
So hey thanks
11.Washington Square Park
I'm looking for the upsides to these panic attack nights
Where I'm staying in eating take out food by TV light
I'm trying to play the b-side to this awkward life of mine
You could flip me over, I'd sing a few lines about how
I'm so used to shooting myself in the kneecaps
Standing in the way of progress
Or letting down my friends
So I'm nailing shards of hope together
To put something over my head
Cause you know here it's always raining
And it happened again, it happened again
She said, I let this slide when we were younger
You know you don't have to write like this
The whole world's full of losers
If you get a chance to win, take it
I stood on the roof with Matt and Molly
Watched the gray slide off the city because it's finally spring
We rode our bikes over to 6th Street
to Washington Square Park to see
If the tides would turn for me
So I'm nailing shards of hope together
To put something over my head
Cause you know here it's always raining
And it happened again, it happened again
She said, I let this slide when we were younger
You know you don't have to write like this
The whole world's full of losers
If you get a chance to win, take it
I left a lot of blood in California
On our first trip out west
I was younger and restless back then and I thought
If no one's in my corner, since everyone left
I'd better make it worth it
I left a lot of blood in California
On our first trip out west
I was younger and restless back then and I thought
If no one's in my corner, since everyone left
I'd better make it worth it
I left a lot of blood in California
On our first trip out west
I was younger and restless back then
12.All My Friends Are In Bar Bands
Jack says he loves the winter here
'Cause there are days when everyone's as miserable as him.
And Josh says it smells like cheap beer and loathing here.
It could be the van, but it's probably just his breath.
Max dropped out of college, he likes to say he finished.
He's working back home with his dad.
He and Kevin got matching tattoos of their initials
and three X's down their legs.
Well, I've got like-minded dudes in Detroit or Vancouver,
Newport, Bulkhead, and Brahm.
I don't know where I am, but I know where I came from.
So everyone moved in with their girlfriends.
In one-bedroom apartments.
In the town that we grew up in and
All my friends are in bar bands.
I don't know how it happened
But I hope it pays the rent.
And still there's some days
when I don't think that we'll ever see Dave again.
Jess is working three jobs just to stay ahead.
Spiro lied about his major, but it's working out for him.
Nick and Reggie got a place together by the train station.
I've spent twenty-two years just wading through bullshit
And hey, it's worked so far.
I don't know why I'm here, but I know who my friends are.
So everyone moved in with their girlfriends.
In one-bedroom apartments.
In the town that we grew up in and
All my friends are in bar bands.
I don't know how it happened
But I hope it pays the rent.
And still there's some days
when I don't think that we'll ever see Dave again.
I'm not sad anymore, I'm just tired of this place.
If this year would just end, I think we'd all be okay.
I'm not sad anymore, I'm just tired of this place.
If this year would just end, I think we'd all be okay.
We moved on again, we're not wasting away.
I'm not sad anymore, I'm just tired of this place.
If this year would just end, I think we'd all be okay.
I'm not sad anymore, I'm just tired of this place.
If this year would just end, I think we'd all be okay.
I'm not sad anymore, I'm just tired of this place.
If this year would just end, I think we'd all be okay.
