1. A LITTLE TOO NICE

I can never keep my mouth shut
But I can sure as hell keep my fingers crossed
My jaw's been hitting the sidewalk
Like branches in a storm
Your feelings are eating up my driveway
It's a little too warm, a little too
Let's do this all night
All night

I bet my last dollar
That me and you could never just talk

[Chorus]
So hey, let's talk it all out
This sounds a little too nice to
So hey, talk everything out
This sounds a little too nice to you

You and I will stand hand in young hand
Back then we'd have conversation
And not confrontation
We'd just open our mouths
And spit those bad words through our broken teeth
So let's do this all night
All night

[Chorus]

I bet my last dollar that me and you could never just talk (x4)

So hey, let's talk it all out
This sounds a little too nice

[Chorus]


2. HIGH HOPES

You're still indulgent enough
To quench a thirst that drowns most right out
Oh, there's a drought, you know
You're losing all of your interest now

[Chorus]
I'm standing up on my feet and off my bruised knees
Far away from your high hopes to please
I'm getting up, I'm getting up
I hope to God it's bringing you down

You've been lying to me while I lie two in by myself
Oh, I know you really know how to fuck up
My sleepy eyes and crooked back
I still don't know how I got this way
You can't explain how I got this way
I still don't know how I got this way
We don't know

[Chorus](x2)

I hope to God it's bringing you down
I hope to God it's bringing you

[Chorus]


3. SKELETONS

I won't forget when I couldn't go to bed with the lights off
When I heard that voice call me in for the night
I remember when love was just a word and not a fight
All I had to worry about were broken bones and being left alone

[Chorus]
Way back then there were monsters in my closet
And now there's just skeletons hiding in there
The clock is ticking away
The leaves are still falling every day
The sunburn on my shoulders kept me warm back then
Like the heat from the blacktop again and again

I remember when smoke didn't fill my lungs
When my hands were lost and so young

It seemed like the houses were touching the sky
And I thought this smile on my face would never lie

Oh, the summer we were staring at the sun
The summer we were staring at the
Oh, the summer we were staring at the sun

[Chorus]


4. SOMETHING'S KEEPING ME HERE

There are minutes when I want to leave this town
With the shirt on my back
And Saves the Day stuck in my head
But there's something keeping me here
I tell myself I won't go back
I'll never even look back
My friends are the only thing making me turn around
Keeping these sleepy eyes from staring at the ground
But I like it that way
They like it that way

[Chorus]
I don't know where I'm going
I'm having one hell of a time getting there
Everyone's trying to find the meaning of the nights
We spent laughing forever
I don't know if we'll ever find it
I could sure as hell care less

The friends I've grown up with are still here
Kids I don't see anymore
Have left their hearts and minds in years behind
I look in my rearview mirror and think back
To the night at Denny's
When Mark and I laughed so hard we cried

[Chorus]

I felt the still St. Louis nights
And the heat from the Las Vegas lights
I have seen the sun-beaten Texas skies
And cars from New York City passing by
But nothing's better than the wind running through my street
Through my street
One, two, three, four

[Chorus]


5. MONDAY

We're just kids stuck in this town
Outside of a big city
Where everyone wants you to grow up as fast as they fall

[Pre-Chorus]
My old friend Dave wakes up on Monday
Wishes there were more than two days in a weekend
I'll keep sleeping in on Monday not knowing
That my weekend is over

[Chorus]
I'm just not ready to cut my hair and settle down
I'm not liking the thought of looking at myself
And seeing all the stress of my mother
And heavy eyes of my father

I don't have a lot of money
That's fine by me
I want to grow up in truck stops and on friends' floors
Maybe then I can feel my heart beat in rhythm with the real me
I wanted June to be in December since I felt summer on my shoulders

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

We'll go run away, waste all our time (x3)
We'll go run away

[Chorus](x2)

Now all my friends wake up on Monday
And wish that there were more than two days in a weekend
I'll keep sleeping in on Monday
Not knowing that my weekend is over
