Uh She was a warm blooded, All-American girl Livin in a cold-hearted, corporate world No belief in her self Boss startin at her tank top Before she tells him 'fuck off' Thinks about the check the bank stopped Falls in love with her superior Gets dumped and fired Feels like she has diphtheria In theory her head's cool, calm As she empties her desk But inside she's a wreck God damn Sprint Her phones off again Got to her apartment Turned her home phone off and then Grabbed a handful of pills and wine But when time stands still She's bound to find

You could never say that boy gave up He never even tries You could never say he's on that angel dust 'Cause he never flies You could say the only thing he say to us Is hellos and goodbyes
English teacher Unfinished novelist On life's bleachers Sleeps through the apocalypse The only thing he feeds Is his esophagus Mama say he needs to get up off the pot or piss "Why you gotta diss?" he asks his homies As they chip in at poker Laugh like he's a joke But there's a time in every man's life when he must act When a fire burns in him like the one that makes crack And as he walks the stairs to his apartment He feels the cold wind blow Staring through the open window Is a boy he had once given up And a girl with a handful of pills and a cup

I read about it in the paper How he broke in and he saved her Words were spoken like a savior Now she's hoping to repay the favor
I lay there thinking about the moments When old tents collapsed on top of me Dropping me into oceans of doubt No coast guards to shout to
Or drown blue clouds around Pound the sound of memories I'm trying to keep down Like the sound a car makes when it's driving away The sound your mom makes when she's crying
You'll stay The sound your heart makes when it's dyin to say Something but you ain't got the guts And it creeps up into you and cuts and cuts Drives you nuts and nuts
And finally someone asks you what's wrong And you don't really know And you can't let it show And you can't let it go
And so you slowly proceed into the abyss And your head and heart's covered by a dark heavy mist And you start to wonder why you should even exist And start to think about pills and slitting your wrists
Then this person comes along Who's just as far gone And they're just like you And they like you too And you stick like glue
And you stare with disbelief as the light breaks through And just as you're standing at the edge Looking at the deep, dark, steep, stark way the fuck down
They put they hands on your shoulder Say, turn the fuck around
