I keep on dreaming
Of running away
I keep on praying
For you to stay
You know they keep on sayin'
That it's gonna rain
Oh someday
Someday
I could never be an apostle
When he said to follow me
I'd pack up my fishing nets
And head back to Galilee
I could never be a captain
With the waves crashing over me
I'd wreck my boat, get some rum and coke
Then they'd see
Then they'd see, lets go
I keep on hoping
For some fucking peace of mind
So to slow down time, I get real high, and I pour some wine
You know I just kept givin'
She was my private charity
But instead of good feelings
I ended up in Brigantine
I could never be an astronaut
Up in space
If I saw the earth from a distance
I'd say that I'm never heading back to that place
I could never be a pilot
All alone in the sky
I'd just be drinking and thinking
Of all the ways that I wanna die
Fucking kill me, lets go
I could never be an apostle
When he said, to follow me
You know I'd pack up my fishing nets
And head back to Galilee
I could never be a pilot
All alone in the sky
I'd just be drinking and thinking
Of all the ways that I wanna die
Fucking kill me

Growing Up

I still get butterflies, pulling in to my old drive
Just wondering, how I did survive
Yeah I miss my friends but its true, I wanna leave them all behind
If I told them the truth, I don't think they'd mind
Philadelphia might as well be a small town
Cause I know now, I'm never coming around
Yeah there's no reverse, no turning back now
I can't even try
Growing up, is knowing
That your heroes are people too
Because growing up, is knowing
That your heroes are people too
You hit the county line, the Lehigh Valley never felt better
She'll lay on the banks of the lake all day if you let her
It was 7am liquid cure in your hand, watching the sun come up over the dam
Sophie's looking for ya, sound check at 10:30
Remember when Kevin's rick was haunting our dreams, through the bay bridge tunnel all the way from D.C.
Just three stupid kids tryna conquer the world, with a shitty guitar and the radio
These memories, yeah they come and they go, some days they move fast some days they move slow
Two hands on the wheel, two hands on the wheel
Because growing up, is knowing
That your heroes are people too
Growing up, is knowing
That your heroes are people too
People too, your heroes are people too
I was driving down Thistlewood just last week, you know I wanted to call you but I couldn't speak
Said when Sarah leaves will it still feel like home, even when C.J. and Tommy are gone
Yeah we'll have a bonfire on the lot down the creek, it will make the old Cul de Sac feel obsolete
Where the sidewalk stops is where the suburbs end, like a typewriter with no message to send
Everything must have its end
(Everything is changing)
Everything must have its end
Everything must have its end
(Everything is changing)
Everything must have its end
Everything must have its end
(Everything is changing)
Everything must have its end
Everything must have its end
(Everything is changing)
I think I'm starting somewhere true
Somewhere new
I think I'm starting somewhere true
Oh yeah
Everything is changing
Everything is changing
Everything is changing

I hope you're doin' well
All alone in your studio apartment
I can't imagine how you feel
But I know, now I know
I'm a part of it
I wish we saw the warning signs
But when pills replace your glasses, you can't read between the lines
Four years ago today, you helped dig me out
Now let me help you, from your own private hell, private hell
We all tried to help you, you locked your door and you ran away
I don't have no problem boys, is all you tried to say
Nights they are, so much colder when you're freezing on your own
Get the help you need, grab some warmth, come on home
Was she there with you in your head
When you held that poor girl down, in your bed
I know you didn't feel what you were doing
Now you know, everything you're losing
I'm telling you
Get the help you need
Get some relief
Get the help you need
Get yourself some relief
Get the help you need
Get yourself some relief
Get the help you need
Get some relief
Get the help you need
Please

The Puddingstone in late November
Your house was just down the street from mine
We made it up to Portsmouth, New Hampshire
But Allston was too far of a drive
I said if you were feeling bad just tell me
You bottle too much up inside
But I didn’t do my part and listen
I just sat and watched you cry
Caroline, don’t you know nothing lasts forever
But I don’t think it should be a crime to try
Caroline, I don’t think we’re all that different
I guess when it comes out it can’t go back inside
Save your curses and wishes all for later
Take a breath and take a minute before you run your mouth
Sometimes we all need a reminder
That getting lucky doesn’t mean you’ve got anything figured out
Don’t be a child, take an honest look and tell me
You’re gonna cry when she’s gone but did you care when you were going out
You’ve got fixes for all of your problems
But she don't want a hero now
Caroline, don’t you know nothing lasts forever
But I trust you know best what to do with your life
Caroline, you said I could do better
I guess when it comes out it can’t go back inside
Come on
I still look for the light in your window
Just to see if you made it out tonight
And if you put me in one of your stories
Have some mercy, and let me make it out alive
Now you’re gone, off to New York City
I’m just waiting here for the next show to drop
All that’s good is temporary
That doesn’t mean that it wasn’t worth the cost
Caroline, don’t you know nothing lasts forever
But I don’t think it should be a crime to try
Caroline, you said I could do better
I guess when it comes out it can’t go back inside
Caroline, don’t you know nothing lasts forever
But I trust you know best what to do with your life
Caroline, you said I could do better
I guess when it comes out it can’t go back inside
I guess when it comes out it can't go back inside
