I know I fucked up, but I can't stress the point enough I'm sorry for what I did Emotions got the best of me, and now it's obvious to see I acted like a kid I hope you can forgive me, but I hope you won't forget me And I hope in time that we can work it out And I hope that you'll be listening to this song of reminiscing But I hope that it won't bring your anger out

I can't sleep when you're chasing me Running through my mind all night It's so wrong for us to be together Staring at the ceiling waiting 'til the moment's right I just wish I could fall asleep I need to get back to you in a field of yellow tulips Why can't we seize the day? I'll run away with you to a field of yellow tulips Now I sleep all day Just for us to be together we're a dream let's come true It's so wrong for us to be apart I think it's time for me to tell you I just want to fall asleep Lying next to you in a field of yellow tulips It's time for us to seize today I'll be waiting for you in a field of yellow tulips

I Don't Care 02:53
I don't care about the rumors, and what other people say And I don't care about the clothes you wear I like your hair that way And I don't care about tomorrow, because we've got today And I don't care what I have to do as long as you will stay And I don't care I don't care about the drugs you did, as long as you stay clean And I don't care too much for movies, 'cause you're my favorite scene And I don't care about tomorrow, because we've got today And I don't care what I have to do as long as you will stay We'll smoke too many cigarettes and play our music loud We'll act way too pretentious, 'til we leave this fucking town And when we finally make it, we'll celebrate the day That we took our chances and finally got away And I don't care

Radio 04:50
I'm still in bed It's half past 3 My eyes are open, but I can't see Why you're not here and you won't be The radio is playin' I hope it sets me free So let the radio play And break these chains of monotony That cause me so much pain The needle's down My eyes are red My heart is beatin', but I'm feeling dead The record stops But the silence won't last long I flip on the radio just to hear your favorite song So let the radio play And break these chains of monotony That cause me so much pain

She's laying on my bed, and always on my mind I sit and watch her sleep as I try and write this song To show her how I feel, and all that I would do I want to make her happy, but I'm sure that she will find When she wakes up things are different than they seem When she's asleep I wonder what she dreams Do I measure up to the vision in her head? I sit here and wonder as she's lying on my bed The rain pours down and I'm torn up inside The timing's not perfect but I really don't mind When you find what you need see it through to the end And she's all I want so I'll give it all I can When she wakes up things are different than they seem When she's asleep I wonder what she dreams Do I measure up to the vision in her head? I sit here and wonder as she's lying on my bed

It's time to stop pretending That everything's alright I'm down to my last cigarette I won't make it through the night Three more hours Staring at this highway I've searched my mind a thousand times, but there's no words I could say I wish I could tell you everything that's on my mind But there's no time for that now I wanna say, I love you more each day I just wish that I knew how Life is so different when you're out on the road promote the gig for two weeks straight And only 20 people show But after it's all over And I finally get home I've got you on my mind each night, but I'm otherwise alone I wish I could tell you everything that's on my mind But there's no time for that now I wanna say, I love you more each day I just wish that I knew how

about

Recorded sporadically over the course of a month in Chad's basement. We used a lot of clips from movies and TV shows and we'll probably get sued and have to sell all our gear to pay for a lawyer so enjoy it while you can!
