Every Summer 01:15
Ride our bikes in front our yard So when we fall we don’t fall hard Every summer Every summer Honey bear Won’t you dare Go with me Come with me
2.
I am gonna cover you with kisses But if you wanna cover me in stitches Well it’s alright yeah it’s alright, it’s all right And I wanna learn all your scars And I wanna go to all the bars Where you lost your mind, loosing your mind, yeah you lost your mind And I wanna learn all your folklore There’s something about you I can’t ignore Smelling like clementines all the time, your smelling like clementines all the time Stealing all your clothes that smell like you I wanna remember you, even though we’re through But I am gonna learn, learn to let it go You don’t even call me back now And I don’t even call you back now And our answering machines, they collect dust And I try to sing loud But I can’t even open my mouth To let out a sound

Oh, what do you know I am starting up again Just like an old trusty car engine Looks like it still got some life Been down before but this time I was sure down for the count Like a flooded engine, I drowned in the mud But step back cuz my gears are cleared I’ve been less polite to people I have loved I’ve run away when I should of stayed Shit on every hand that ever offered hope But now I am shifting gears so get outta the way Stalled out again, seems like I am cruising in reverse Ran red lights thinking, can it get any worse Stranded out on the open highway Tires pop and rubber burns, burning up the road Windshields smashed and this car just might explode Unless there’s a mechanic with the touch of God I’ve been less polite to people I have loved I’ve run away when I should of stayed Shit on every hand that ever offered hope But now I am shifting gears so get outta the way
4.
I want to lick your enamel But I don’t know if you can handle These butterflies in my belly And ahh how your knees bend so sweetly And I want to play hide and seek Just to see if you would peek Hot chocolate and awkward laughter Could you be the girl that I’ve been after
5.
I’ll see you at the races Oh pretty girl, she’s licking faces And she don’t care That she got lipstick in her hair How the old people stare Like she’s a diamond in the bare Oh I love This little baby, right in front of me! Oh she's so Cute and cuddly, why do I feel fatherly?
6.
Yes, I stole your detergent After you threw my old accordion Into the community dumpster And it was rash I know, but you shouldn’t of messed with My ol’ squeeze box last night I loved that ol’ smelly thing I’d squeeze it and hug it all night And now that it’s gone I don’t know if I feel alright No more polka jams No more solos On my ol’ squeeze box And now I know she’s lying in a dumpster Next to trash and molding other stuff And it breaks my heart that no one will wrap their hands around her no more And touch her in all the right places
7.
There’s only one girl in Kansas Who could make me want to dance She’s the prettiest girl you ever did see When she’s wearing them smarty pants Coca-cola Dancing in a pair of moon boots while singing I don’t know… I just know… A New York City girl carried On out by a tornado They say what doesn’t kill you Sure helps you to grow Coca-cola Dancing in a pair of moon boots while singing I don’t know… I just know…
8.
Would you like To go to a museum And just walk around And just walk all around Or would you like To go to a mausoleum And just lay around Just lay all around I bet you’d be the cutest damn corpse In the whole wide world I would love to be at your funeral I would bring a gift it would be floral I would cry out that I still love you But my words would fall on deaf ears I would lay down on top of your grave But I wouldn’t tread yes I would behave I would mourn you every damn mourning I would write songs just like the one I am singing I bet you’d be the cutest damn corpse In the whole wide world Tell me what death’s good for cuz I can’t figure it out

I woke up and you said "you don't move for any gallants" I laid still in bed, my bed sheets smelled so moldy and embarrassing Did I fart all night? Tonight I was at your window dressed as an elephant I sang to you of sea serpents and swimming pools You gave me a frozen dinner and sent me to bed early Why can't you face the sunrise with me? Don't take this the wrong way but I've been so down I've even wanted to bury myself alive In this one horse town
11.
So I got a car to save up for But all the money I already saved Is going to a new pair of glasses Cuz I smashed my old ones When I got too drunk And I am really sorry That I threw you through that table I didn’t mean to My bad Emergency visits and valentines Helps me pass the time And I want to do is nothing Guess I don’t have to go to college Stop it, so sarcastic Why you got to be such a prick No one wants that, are you stupid We use to love you when you were funny But the jokes on me I guess Cuz I am just sitting here trying to do my best At these mall jobs And little kids come and visit me and say “hello” And all I really want is some beautiful girl To say hello to me who isn’t under fifteen I am so sick of these mall rats Who have their whole lives in front of them And they’re just running around this ol’ mall Doing absolutely nothing Stop it, so jealous Why don’t you do something about it Just go, and impress Cuz no one wants to see you just give it up

Worry 02:16
Twenty twenty twenty four years old And there’s so much more or so I've been told Cuz I’ve been working working working For a future that ain’t even there, oh what do I care Why worry so so so so much Lets go have a party six feet underground One two three are you looking at me Cuz I am ready to explode, so lets get the fuck outta here Imagine anything is possible And you feel so fucking free, you just gotta believe So why worry so so so so much Lets go have a party six feet underground
