#8: Pick Me Up- The Format 19 months ago

And you
You’re gonna walk backwards
through the room
Does that mean I won’t see you?
It means you walk backwards
through the room

Tiffany’s crying
She’s dying to make it out of this hell
I just laught
‘Cause it was my job to be her help
but I’m in my bedroom
Where friends won’t debate my health
like”how can he save some summer night,
when he can’t save himself”

You’ve got to pick me up
C’mon and pick me up
when I’m falling down
You’ve got to pick me up

Cut to December
How can a scalpel tear into skin
revealing walks in the park
Lord how can a heart
come from two separate organs
and you’re gonna make this simple
Do you want to make me sweeter?
I know, I know, I know, I know
I’ll let you down
I’ll let you down

Prescriptions scripting a timeline
Swing sets, grade schools, and black eyes
First love, heartbreak, and true love
Mistakes, heartbreak, and true love



#7: The Reason- The Weakerthans 2 years ago

How I don’t know how to sing,

I can barely play this thing,
But you never seem to mind,
And you tell me to fuck off,
When I need somebody to,
How you make me laugh so hard,
How whole years refuse to stay,
Where we told them to bad dog,
Locked up blindly in a word,
Or a misplaced souvenier,
How the past chews on your shoes,
And these memories lick my ear.

I know,
You might roll your eyes at this,
But I’m so
Glad that you exist.

How we waste our prescious time,
Marching in the picket line,
That surround those striking hearts,
And the time is never now,
And we know who we should love,
But we’re never certain how.

I know,
You might roll your eyes at this,
But I’m so
Glad that you exist.

I know,
You might roll your eyes at this,
But I’m so
Glad that you exist.

I know,
You might roll your eyes at this,
But I’m so,
Glad that you exist.



6. Technicolor Eyes- Backseat Goodbye 2 years ago

i like saturdays and the rocket summer.
blue skies and the morning’s air
i like you, you like me.
there’s something wrong with this picture.
let’s turn it upside down so we can see.
the insecurities caused by the last four years of economic downsizing in the eastern US.
i like february along with tilly and the wall.
pretty pictures and shirts that are too small.
for my child-like figure that you’re so in love with.
i like the autumn’s leaves and bright eyes.
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.
stands strong in my favorites of all time.
along with you and your technicolor eyes.
you say johnny cash is your favorite singer.
but you’ve never heard folsom prison blues.
how do you expect me to believe you.
i was never much on country songs but.
someone should really tell you to come home.
‘cause it’s getting (awfully) late.
and your dinner’s getting cold.
i like simple songs with pretty words.
i tried poetry, but it’s just no good. the pages get lost, besides i’d much rather sing to you.
i love living life with you by my side.
you’re a smart kid with a beautiful smile.
and oh god those technicolor eyes.
i like saturdays and the rocket summer.
night skies and that lovely stare.
i like you, you like me. so lets lock all the doors.
there’s nothing outside we need to see.
‘cause we’ve got love.
yeah we’ve got a tv we can watch “Friends” all we want.
and we can laugh at how i laugh like Ross when i get nervous. and we don’t have to worry about tomorrow.
because we know it’s gonna come.
whether we want it to or not



5. She Got Away- Say Anything 2 years ago

I feel so stupid now that we are apart
You’ve got a boyfriend
I’ve got a broken heart
I’m glad you’re happy
I know he plays on varsity but
Do you still miss me when everything is quiet in your room

f you could give me one more chance I swear
I’d give anything to be with you
If you could only turn my way again
Don’t fall in love with someone new
Someone new

One lonely Sunday will you drop by my home
Wipe off the tears I shed since I have been alone
Lay your head on my shoulder
That’s all I need to go on
Just one last moment of looking in your eyes

If you could give me one more chance I swear
I’d give anything to be with you
If you could only turn my way again
Don’t fall in love with someone new
Someone new

If you could give me one more chance I swear
I’d give anything to be with you
If you could only turn my way again

If you could give me one more chance I swear
I’d give anything to be with you
If you could only turn my way again
Don’t fall in love with someone new
Someone new



#4: The Days Go By Oh So Slow- Nightmare Of You 2 years ago

Take a seat
and catch your breathe
You’re only working
Towards your death
For us the days go by, They go by oh so slow

But your blonde hair and gaping eyes
send tingles down my nervous spine
And now the days go by, They go by oh so slow

But i’m yours if you want and
I can be yours to spend your life with
I can be yours, we’ll hide indoors
petrified of the world

And if you’d rather stay in at night
I can relate to that
And if feels like your hearts dried up
I can relate to that
And if you need someone at your side
I am out there, I’m out there, out there

In the grass at Union Square
I touched your face, pushed back your hair
And said “The days go by, they go by oh so slow” (days go oh so slow)
And in a room, upon your bed
we tangled arms and crossed our legs
When you sleep alone, the days go oh so slow

But i’m yours if you want and
I can be yours to spend your life with
I can be yours, we’ll hide indoors
petrified of the world

And if you’d rather stay in at night
I can relate to that
And if feels like your hearts dried up
I can relate to that
And if you need someone at your side
I am out there, I’m out there, out there

I am yours if you want and
I can be yours to spend your life with
I can be yours, we’ll hide indoors
petrified of the world

And if you’d rather stay in at night
I can relate to that
And if feels like your hearts dried up
I can relate to that
And if you need someone at your side
I am out there, I’m out there, out there



My Heart Is The Worst Kind Of Weapon- Fall Out Boy 2 years ago

I spent most of last night dragging this lake
for the corpses of all my past mistakes
sell me out – the joke’s on you
we are salt – you are the wound
empty another bottle
and let me tear you to pieces
this is me wishing you
into the worst situations
I’m the kind of kid
that can’t let anything go
but you wouldn’t know a good thing
if it came up and slit your throat

Your remorse hasn’t fallen on deaf ears
rather ones that just don’t care
cause I know
that you’re in between arms somewhere
next to heartbeats
where you shouldn’t dare sleep
Now I’ll teach you a lesson
for keeping secrets from me

Take your taste back
peel back your skin
and try to forget how it feels inside
you should try saying no once in a while
oh once in a while
[x2]

And did you hear the news?
I could dissect you
and gut you on this stage
not as eloquent as I may have imagined
but it will get the job done (you’re done)
every line is plotted and designed
to leave you standing
on your bedroom window’s ledge
and everyone else that it hits
that it gets to
is nothing more than collateral damage

Take your taste back
peel back your skin
and try to forget how it feels inside
you should try saying no once in a while
oh once in a while
[x2]



#2: A Lack Of Color- Death Cab For Cutie 2 years ago

And when i see you
I really see you upside down
But my brain knows better
It picks you up and turns you around
Turns you around, turns you around

If you feel discouraged
That there’s a lack of color here
Please don’t worry lover
It’s really bursting at the seams
Absorbing everything
The spectrum’s a to z

This is fact not fiction
For the first time in years
And all the girls in every girlie magazine
Can’t make me feel any less alone
I’m reaching for the phone

To call at 7:03 and on your machine I slur a plea for you to come home
But i know it’s too late
I should have given you a reason to stay
Given you a reason to stay [x3]

This is fact not fiction
For the first time in years



#1: It's Cool, We Can Still Be Friends- Bright Eyes 2 years ago

Yeah, you still kiss me, but it’s just on the cheek
Yeah, you still kiss me, but it’s just on the cheek
Yeah, you still kiss me sometimes, but it’s just on the cheek
You pull away so easily

And I still call you, but I get your machine
And I still call you, but I get your machine
And if I’m lucky I guess, I get your roommate answering
But you’re at the bar, or at Gene’s

And we go to dinner, but you won’t hold my hand
We sit at the same table, but we don’t play with our feet
Yeah, we still go to dinner sometimes, but we don’t sneak a kiss
When the waitress turns around

And we still watch movies, but we don’t share the couch
And we still rent movies, but we don’t share the couch
Yeah, we still watch movies sometimes, but you don’t lay in my lap
The plot is slow, take a nap

And you even stay over, but now we stay in our clothes
Yeah, you’ll even sleep over, but now we stay in our clothes
Yeah, you even sleep over sometimes, but we stay in our clothes
I’m only there so that you’re not alone

And you say that I hurt you, in a voice like a prayer
Yeah, you say that I’ve hurt you, and your voice is like a prayer
Yeah, well maybe I hurt you sometimes, but let’s contrast and compare
Lift up your shirt, the wound isn’t there

I guess that your truth, is just the ghost of your lies
I guess your kind of truth, is just the ghost of your lies
Yeah, your kind of truth, darling, is just the ghost of your lies
I see through them all the time
So I’m pouring some whiskey, I’m gonna get drunk
Yeah, I’m pouring myself some whiskey, I’m going to get really fucking drunk
I’m pouring some whiskey right now, I’m going to get so, so drunk
That I pass out, forget your face, by the time I wake up.
