Oh Jacky
You used to make me feel so happy
What happened to us, what made you attack me
I once thought you were my bestie
Oh Jacky
What made you like that
Oh Jacky
When we were friends, we’d send long texts of personal things
Every time we were a
little far away and a little time had passed
Oh you know It’s so weird that we aren’t friends any more
I thought you ‘d be there cuz I was there for you
Oh jacky, I’ll never understand no matter how much time has passed
What made u like that
Oh Jacky
When we were friends, we’d send long texts of personal things (to tell each other)
Every time
we were a little far away
and a little time had passed
and we hadn’t time to talk in person
oh it’s so weird that we aren’t friends anymore
I thought you’d be there for me cuz I was there for you
Oh it’s so weird, oh jacky
Jacky you were once my friend
I don’t know what to do
since you cut off contact with me
I’d like to think friends are forever
But I’m really not sure now
Oh jacky I’m sure you think I’m a fair-weather friend
but I’m not that
Oh jacky, what made u like that

Dawn

Dawn
Morning has come but I’m not waking up
Night has passed but I’m still asleep
Dawn
I thought we could just be friends
Marry the night to the day
It’s harder than it seems
Dawn, you are the glue that holds them together
But Dawn, you don’t stick
You can hold them together just for a moment
But isn’t it magical before the break?

Got a lot to say and I’ve got a lot to do / I’m a boy with a big mouth
but I’m feeling a little blue
Leftover pizza for breakfast / ain’t nothing to cry about
I always thought it tasted better / tho I guess I should eat healthier
Got a lot to say and I’ve got a lot to do / kicked out of bed
it’s cold, gotta sleep on top of something, I’m just that cool
The fridge was tempting me and I thought it’d be alright
eat a snack in the middle of the night / It’s better than continuing the fight
You know I’m hungry boy / Got a lot to say and a lot to do
But gotta sleep somewhere, so I'm
Sleeping on the fridge / Gotta waste my time
I ain’t got no money and I’m not about to wine
Food in my belly / Cold in, hot out
I thought I’d make with the honey / and get out
What is a boy to do / When he’s left over sleeping on the fridge
Got a lot to say and I’ve got a lot to do / It’s petty warm here so I guess can make do
for a little
Dawn is breaking / In my jacket I’m shaking
I’ve got a lot to say / But I probably won’t / I can make do
It’s pretty lonely here / At least there’s a little beer
Sleeping on the fridge / Ain’t nothing / Ain’t nothing to laugh about
Sleeping on the fridge / oh I’m sleeping the fridge
it’s not all that bad / unless you’re already feeling sad
Oh I’m
Got a lot to say and I’ve got a lot to do
But I probably won't

I Know Your Name

I know your name
And I knew it
Before I even met you
I know your name
But I blew it
Before I even met you

I Want To Make You Cry
01:08
|
|||
|
I want to make you cry
Sometimes I wish you’d die
But I still want to say hi
It’s like I can’t say goodbye
I listened to your lies
And now I’m starting to despise
Myself, I’m
lost in your brown eyes
It makes my insides writhe

I’m not as good as I used to be
I’m called “severe” in close company
Thought it better to change my ways
And now I’m paying for it every day
I’ve got a chip on my shoulder
It’s not going away (ay)
I’ve got a hatred that smolders
It seems like it’s going to stay (ay)
That’s why I’m
not as good as I used to be
I’m going down in history
as a
pain for others around me
I’ve stopped trying to please the ones
who sit around, bothering me
I’m not as good as I used to be
I’m not as good at it, I’m not as good at it
I’ve lost myself, I'm

Losing My Mind, Again
01:57
|
|||
|
Losing track of things
Can’t find anything
Can’t maintain a simple rhythm
I've lost it
I’ve lost my groove, I’ve lost my touch
I’m losing just a little too much
Every part of me is going away
I can’t seem to make anything stay
I’m falling apart, I’m lost in the void
I feel like a forgotten toy
I don’t blame you
It’s not your fault
You were as hurt as me
I don’t blame me
I didn’t try to do any harm
You know that I regret every day
Remember when you used to call me friend
Losing my mind
And I lost it just in time
I’m losing every time
I go out
to meet my friends
I lost it again
I lost my mind, I lost my mind
Losing My Mind
I Lost Just in Time
I’m Losing It Every Time I Go Out
I Lost It Again
I Lost My Mind, I Lost My Miiiiiiiind
How can I hope to find it
It’s not in my head
It’s not in my head
I feel like

Not Every Song
03:29
|
|||
|
Not every song I write is about you!
I’ve got better things to do
I heard I’m never on your mind
I don’t know why I gotta be kind
Life is bigger than just one guy
So I dunno why it’s hard to say bye
Not every song I write is about you
But this one goes out to you know who
I’m a tool you can put in any lock ( don’t u know )
Take me out whenever you need me ( u don’t know )
Just don’t forget to feed me when I’m hungry (hungry !)
I’m doing the best I can (don’t u know)
Missing u wasn’t (the plan)
Do u still think about (me sometimes!)
It doesn’t matter who you are (don’t u know!)
I really wanna talk to you (u don’t know!)
You’re my friend no matter what (a-ha!)
Bad situations happen (a-aha!)
I still wanna make it work, I wanna make it work, I wanna make it work
It’s a lot of work to make it work, it might hurt,
Just put some dirt on it aaaahhhhhch ahhhhh (don’t u know!)

Vitriolic Obsession
02:26
|
|||
|
Why do I let this vitriolic obsession rule my life
All ruining my life
I let it go on for too long
I didn’t prune
didn’t weed it
now it’s growing so oh oh long

Train of Thought
03:45
|
|||
|
People on the train aren't reading books
Headphones in their ears
Time spent looking at their phone
Not aware of what’s in here
People on the train are stealing looks at me
Of that, I’m absolutely sure
They can tell I haven’t had a bath in what feels like 20 years
The conductor is on their way
I hope my ticket’s right
It’s embarrassing, being scrutinized
Even tho you know you’re fine
Authority makes me nervous
I don’t really know why
We’re about to the get chorus
Let’s give it a try
It’s your train of thought that counts
The stops you make along, hop out
Destination is all I rode for
So why can’t I make it in time for
Traaaaain of thought
It’s quite a lot, it’s quite a
Traaaaain of thought
Sometimes it’s too much, I want to
Chugga chugga
Train keeps chugging along
I don’t know if I can hang on
Got no reservation, I can tell I’m perspiratin'
Traaaaain of thought
It’s quite a lot, it’s quite a
Traaaaain of thought
Sometimes it’s too much, I want to

Buddy Boat

Come aboard the buddy boat
let ‘em flow, the words I wrote
It’s fresh and cool up here
They sound better to your ears
oh ho
oh ho
oh ho
No need to show your pass
It’s free for all in fact
The buddy boat is nearly full
It’s sure to be real cool
oh ho
oh ho
oh ho
Oh dear, it’s getting late
I think we’ve made a mistake
The buddy boat has gotta go
I think we’ll have to let you go
oh ho
oh ho
oh ho
The buddy boat has already gone
I hope you had some fun
So sorry you couldn’t come
Friendship is pretty dumb

Where Are You
01:08
|

|
Where are you
Looking all around to find you
Can’t find you anywhere
You said you’d be right there
But I don’t see you
Where are you
Where are you
I looked around for you
I looked around for you

Make Yrself Tiny
02:07
|
|||
|
You’ve gotta put in a little effort
to make it count when you’re moving about, yeah
You’re my type of friend,
I’d like to know when we can go out, no reason to pout, I don’t have have any doubt, I don’t have any doubt ohhhhh
Make yourself small, it’s not all
Even a shoe seems like a mall
Some problems are better to solve with a different vantage point
It’s not all to be small, but it’s pretty good after all, after all
Living like a mouse, I’m getting lost in my own house, I’ve got a reason to pout
Watched Mari Kondo tell me how to tidy up, but I’m still struggling to get up
I’ve got so much stuff, I don’t know what to do with it, it’s just too much, oh!
Make yrself tiny, everything looks a little shiner from way down here
MAKE YRSELF SMALL
it’s not all it’s not all
MAKE YOURSELF TINY
everything looks shiny from way down here!
MAKE YRSELF MINISCULE
it’s better than going to school
MAKE YRSELF ITTY BITTY
it’s so pretty to get a different view

My other friends has a lot of friends
But you are my terrible friend
I thought it wise to leave you dry
But in the end it wasn’t right
I know now that I’m not bright
Angrily I let it bite
And now we’ll never be all right
My other friend
is not my friend
Because I
have no friends

I met a boy once
he brought me lots of joy
A little tall and messy
and not very coy
I met a boy once, oh I met a boy
This boy he was so great, I didn’t want to toy with his heart
But he toyed with mine
Oh it was mine
at first we were okay
but later on we started to decay
it didn’t end up at all how I thought
I don’t know why but in the end we fought
oh I thought I thought I thought
Stop that boy
he stole my heart!
This boy he was really very bright
That’s why I thought it weird he slept with a night light
I thought it strange he was so afraid of ghosts
But now I realize he was scared of himself the most
Oh that doesn’t me he didn’t care
An indication that he wasn’t fair
Oh I really should've known, instead I should’ve said
We took lots of trips and had a lot of fun
just like the times when we used to run to
the store and buy some things to cook from the start
he made me dinners and moved into my heart
I don’t know what happened
it just happened
I’m in a state that still won’t end
Stop that boy
he stole my heart!

I’m living with a ghost
No, I didn't mean to host
This persnickety ghost
But it's eating all my toast
And it's pulling at my hair
Sometimes I'm not sure it's really there
Oh, I'm living with a ghost in my heart
We're sharing an apartment
I'm living with a ghost in my head
Maybe I'm the one who's really dead
That'd be fine with me
I'm haunting all your eggs
Zipping in between your legs
Aren't you afraid of me
While you're sipping your tea
Oh, I wanna be alive
We could go for a drive
I'm your ghost!
I'm haunting your heart
I'm your ghost!
Just wanna get inside your head
Aren't you the one who's dead?
That'd be fine with me
Ghosts aren’t the only things that are dead
I’ve been a long in time in your head
I’ve heard all that you’ve said
It’s frankly pretty dark instead
But I’d like to give you life
If you consent, that’d be alright
Would we be friends? We might
Then I think we’d be pretty tight
I’m living with a ghooooost
in my heart
I’m living with a ghooooost
in my head
I’m your ghoooooooost
I’m haunting your heart
I’m your ghoooooooost
Let’s never be apart
We’ll never really be de ea ad
And that’d be fine with me

I always thought
that you’d close to my heart
didn’t realize time widens gaps
you’re farther now than you’ve ever been, as it happens
memories aren’t as sweet as once before
but I remember everything and more
you’re still there in my heart
but it’s harder to find you and that smarts
remember the trip to the sea
it really changed me
I wouldn’t be the same right now
without the way things turned out
I know I’m still not okay
but I think I may get there one day
my heart was shaped right in that place
so it hurt when you threw it in my face
You’re still a good memory
and I can accept that I’m not necessarily
looking to go back
just miss you a lot, Jacky
and that’s the hardest part
that I still can’t get over you
