Wildcat Creek

I want to move out to the west coast So far away from all of our ghosts I want to make love in the desert And feel our bodies move in concert Cause I've been wasting so much of my life This plane is boarding, here's your warning sign They say the grass is never greener If nothing else at least it's cleaner We'll start a band just like that summer You'll play the bass, I'll be the drummer Cause I've been wasting so much of our life This baby's bored and here's your warning sign So let's stop talking, let's start making plans They'll paint a sign to greet us when we land We won't have jobs but that won't matter We'll find a way if we're together I'll wear my boots, we'll go out drinking Make bad decisions without thinking Cause I've been wasting so much of my life This plane is boarding, here's your warning sign It's time Hey na na na na na na na na!

It's a hot mess on a cold day You don't have the balls to leave But you sure as shit can't stay Like a long line for a slow train If it gets you where you're going then I guess It's best not to complain Don't complain It won't change Don't complain It's not sane It's a black light on a late night If it keeps you on the dance floor then I guess That everything's alright It's alright Please don't fight It's alright Hold her tight, tonight

I wrote a letter to my friend, but I never sent it Seems I'm out of stamps again, she'd probably never read it Anyway I wrote a song about myself, but I never sing it Seems I never find my voice, not even when I need it Anyway Sometimes, it's easier to be quiet But sometimes, it gets louder, and I like it Everyday I fall apart, over something stupid You see this sleeve, it holds my heart, just like an arrow's cupid Can't you see? That everyday I feel afraid, but for no good reason It's like I'm always on a stage, or being tried for treason Don't you know? Sometimes, it's easier to be quiet But sometimes, it gets louder, and I like it I really like it And I remember sounds, much more than faces But somehow, I'm back around in your good graces Sometimes, it's easier to be quiet But sometimes, it gets louder, and I like it Oh yeah!

If I had a dime For every time That you broke my heart I'd buy a theme park I'd make lots of noise Invite lots of boys We'd stay through the night It would be such a sight I'd finally be free Of all the chains around me Like I should've been, so long ago If I had a boat I'd sail the blue seas Do whatever I please I'd swim all day long I'd write lots of songs Send postcards back home I'm much better alone I'd find that peace of mind I'd settle down, feel fine Like I should've done, so long ago I'd finally be free Of all the chains around me
