come on out of the bedroom
you wear your love on your sleeve
he wears the scratch marks you gave him
meant for me while im off writing your songs
you hear the howl of the wind blow
startled you slept through my calls
remind me of all the fathers mom would
bring home every day every night
(Chorus)
are you feeling alright
would you stay another night with him
are you feeling alright
you drink the storm from the tea cup
your wooden mouth calls for more
you taste the hair from the dog
so you wont see the hours up on the wall
you feels the chills when you meet his gaze
coz’ you know that what your doing is wrong
you know you’re one in the same
when you keep hitting the bottom but you wont land alone
(Chorus)

(verse)
baby i need to take some time unwind
cos lately i’ve been about my mind
when you’re running round somebody’s head do you ever take a seat
do you find what your searching for
do you ever feel lonely
(chorus)
lost inside your heart though i’ve never been
i know what you crave
crew mates come and go in their little waves
ships can sail back home
(verse)
lady i need to get to bed
when i sleep you’re not in my dreams so why am i in yours
i come around as a little light
and you shroud my every stride
if your shadow looked like me
would you ever feel lonely
(chorus)
lost inside your heart though i’ve never been
i know what you crave
crew mates come and go in their little waves
ships can sail back home

(verse 1)
you and i were better than we were yesterday
speeding down the way that we would go but we’ll slow down eventually
crowded football game where we first met (met)
walked back home across the universe leave our words behind
(Chorus)
how did just we lose control
how did we escape our hull
how do we act our age
when we cant even act like us
(verse 2)
hiding in the corner of my room wait for you to leave
sirens ring outside of our old house come and keep me company
keep me wide awake…
(Chorus)
how did just we lose control
how can we repair our hull
how do we act our age
when we cant even act like us

find me in this stupid little bathing suit she bought for me
surrounded by these giant teens i think are half my age
leave my shirt on didn’t lift a single bar this winter
i have tattoos to compensate this skinny body and pasty skin im stuck in
im alright im alright
(chorus)
all these games they play look fun and entertaining while i watch them from the sidelines
wished they’d ask me first before they grabbed the drinks i bought on my way here
like i don’t mind
dancing on the shore line
(verse )
im lying naked in the sand face down, passed out and lonely
after finding out my girl left me for a prepubescent tween a couple drinks ago
im alright im alright
(chorus)
(chorus)
all the games they play look fun and entertaining while i watch them from the sidelines
wished they’d ask me first before they grabbed the drinks i bought on my way here
like i don’t mind
now that im sobered up without a drink
these girls don’t look as pretty
as when i got here
so keep all of the stuff i brought
this party sucks im signing off
cuz i don’t mind leaving early
get off this dirty beach
yeah, im going home

(verse)
sleepyhead
cry a river by yourself
for a little while
take in the view
whats not to see when you can man the helm
i know what you want
i think i can help
(chorus)
so ill scream at the moon
if you do it too
or sing a a lovely song
if you sing alone
if you sing alone
(Verse)
Starry eyes
end your night off right
and take a step back think about your actions
what they’ll cost
like moths drawn to a flame
whatever comes your way
always stressful so damn stressful
you cant cope alone
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
can you sing the songs i teach you from the roof top of your bedroom
seeking warmth under the spotlight as i wipe the tears from your eyes
if you count 11 paces you’ll see me through the window on your pavement
but don’t fall in
(Chorus)
or ill scream at the moon
if you do it too
i could break a leg and dance
if you think that’d that be romantic
i could kiss you in the rain
and make our night less painful
or sing a a lovely song
if you sing alone
if you sing alone

(Verse)
woke up half past midnight
when the callouses met my insides
look up with my sore eyes
cant get a sight of my lifeline
(Pre-Chorus)
long boat by myself i cant go back
they took everything that i own
been here before i recall the code
(Chorus)
Throw me overboard throw me out
cuz i drink too much and i scream and shout
say words that cut me like a rusty razor
im used to livin like a drunken sailor
Throw me overboard back into the waves
kick me out of bed and ill go away
I might as well just kick it now
feel like im six feet down by myself rotting in the ground
(Verse)
Sit on my hands
try to watch all my steps
after a clap of thunder
They’ll still blow me down
(Pre-Chorus)
long boat by myself i cant go back
they took everything that i own
been here before i recall the code
(Chorus)
Throw me overboard throw me out
cuz i drink too much and i scream and shout
say words that cut me like a rusty razor
im used to livin like a drunken sailor
Throw me overboard back into the waves
kick me out of bed and ill go away
I might as well just kick it now
feel like im six feet down by myself rotting in the ground
(last chorus only)
Throw me overboard throw me out
(caught me in bed with the captains daughter)
cuz i drink too much and i scream and shout
(threw me in a long boat, still not sober)
say words that cut me like a rusty razor
(shaved my belly with a rusty razor)
im used to livin like a drunken sailor
