Best Time of My Life

i'm holding my head to standards i set when you came back
we're both lonely but we know there's only one month left
video caught you stealing my bike the leaves of my life have haunted me
the night's getting hotter whiskey and water on your breath
am i a bad man cause i was so glad to feel this
it's the 4th of july i reclaimed my life alone again
he came back to dig up the bones stuck under our homes since 64
i'm doing my part my throat in my heart and fighting death
the summer has passed the first and our last has gone
two sides of a blade now everything's changed but i know you won't, you won't
when you went away and left us to carry on
the memory's fading my family is waiting i want it all
soon you'll be gone and she's been long gone for two years
i'm back to basics a new pair of asics running again
waiting for the time to be right a new face in my life i'm ready
just say the words i'll give you the world it's time to hurt

take all i know
tie it up in a bow
sell it on the black market
what do you get is it enough to go
to the river
to the snow
to the mountains where the kindling froze
where the avalanche buried all the bodies below
two lovers under ice and snow
and there they will lay
until there comes a day
next to fallen trees
dark hair in the breeze
and i can't believe
the future is a dream
death is what we need
daisies on her sleeve
when we say goodbye
a little part of us dies
breaking up is hard to do
but i can't love me when i don't love you
so i'm sorry to see you go
and i'm sorry for all you hoped
you'll be better off with someone else
cause i'm better off all by myself

gotta change something in my life
cause there's just no more surprise
oak trees in the winter sunlight
waiting for snow but there's no storm
stuck in a house that don't feel like home
surrounded all the time but still alone
you're the lion pride
you're the shaded line
you're the cut inside
look at my eyes and look at my soul
look at my scars it's the only way to know
i'm a fallen sprite with a phoenix down
like a passed out girl in a getaway car
how did i get here i'm so damn far
from spider webs and safety lines

you're going to die alone
it's true
the writing's on the wall
you're going to die alone
it's the truth
there's nothing you can do
searching for the truth
two girls wrap you in a cloth
high heels in a groove
i'm lost
gin and tonic dreams
it's harder than it seems
as if in a dream
walking through the snow
avert my eyes to ??
it's harder than you thought
enough
you're the reason i cannot leave
you're the reason for all these dreams
you're the reason for everything
i cannot sleep
i cannot love
i cannot leave

Key in the Lock

all of your arms and
all of your legs i'm
pulling away i'm
forgetting your names
why did this year
disappear so fast
i'm trying to hold on and
make it last
any one of
you should do
but i can't accept that
dreams come true
i'm a key in the lock
i'm a ghost in the trees
i'm looking for love
but she's not looking for me
a year and a half
in japan's enough
to know i'll never
find a love
even though i'm surrounded
by the prettiest girls
the prettiest girls
so pretty it hurts
i'm a key in the lock
i'm a ghost in the trees
i'm looking for love
but she's not looking for me
under the seat
we found the key
but it won't bring you back oh no it's not to be
i'm a key in the lock
i'm a ghost in the trees
i'm looking for love
but she's not looking for me
