She said "I'm leaving right now - lover don't wait - lover don't wait on me" I said "I don't know how, but I'll find you again - I'll dream of you next to me" It's raining downtown in the springtime, and the city lights are beautiful and her eyes are glowing green like an alibi "be mine tonight," she said it's pouring in your heart i can see it now, as we wade through these crowds it may be just a shower but i'll matter to you I swear I'll matter to you I'll do my best love In this epilogue to us What if the next few years were like our last few, would that change you at all? If our next few days were like sitcom reruns, would that change you at all? If i don't wake up with you I won't know what to do at all If i don't wake up breathing next to you It's snowing hard outside in that little town I never got to bring you to. Fires are burning through these Ashland streets, I swear everyone was waiting to meet you. The city streets are on fire tonight The city streets are on fire tonight The city streets are on fire tonight (and I can't wait to meet you) I'll do my best love In this epilogue to us What if the next few years were like our last few, would that change you at all? If our next few days were like sitcom reruns, would that change you at all? If i don't wake up with you I won't know what to do at all If i don't wake up breathing next to you Take me to that bar - teach me to drink (You could have taken me to that bar to teach me to drink we could have gone to that bar to teach each other to drink so hard) Take me to that bar, and teach me to drink Take me to that bar, and teach me to drink so hard Take me to that bar, and teach me to drink What if the next few years were like our last few, would that change you at all? If our next few days were like sitcom reruns, would that change you at all? If i don't wake up with you I won't know what to do at all If i don't wake up breathing next to you...

Last Call 04:24
we'd sit on the floor on drunken sunday mornings picking up pieces of puzzles off the floor walking around and looking for our clothing wondering, just what happened the night before? because It hasn't been a party 'til you've called me a dick and I've called you a whore you make me wanna make lampshades over my mind from the feathers of wild turkeys and so that's how i came to realize we are all just ashes throughout time in those drunk cold decembers here's to the fights here's to the nights that we'll never remember so tell me again, just what were you expecting? we'd get breakfast at nine, then we'd catch the mid-day mass? because all of your points and all of your words inflected and all of your bitter statements have come to pass makes me wonder, did you really think that it was ok? to make me wanna make lampshades over my mind from the feathers of wild turkeys and so that's how i came to realize we are all just ashes throughout time in those drunk cold decembers here's to the fights here's to the nights that we'll never remember

So let's start this sale with just one clearance item. It'll do no harm to get this shit out of my wallet. Or will it? Let's start this night, let's start it off with just one kiss The kind that could start a war, or the kind that could end it. Don't end it. I know I could do this right I know I could really fuck this up before we hit the night I know I could turn you on I know I could really fuck this up before night turns to dawn Start this party; start it off with a backbeat Then get her in the room and then get her on her feet Start this story - greet the city with this ending: Love means so much, and rules are for bending... There are no endings. I know I could do this right But I know I could really fuck this up before we hit the night I know I turn you on But I know I could really fuck this up and sleep straight through a dawn The painting is wrapped in plastic. I say ‘is’ because it was in my most recent memory and they rarely visit the basement. Beauty. I think that's what I'd call that painting. I think that's what I’d call Angeline’s room. I think that's what I’d call Angeline. Honesty. Honesty and beauty and friendship. Love. This isn't a love story, but this might be the most important thing I say: Don’t lie to those that you love. Don’t claim to love those who you don’t trust. So start a war So start a war So start a war So start a war So start a war So start a war I know I could do this right But I know I could really fuck this up before we hit the night I know I turn you on But I know I could really fuck this up and sleep straight through a dawn
