Locked on the bike rack
I've got my feet on the dash again
Mom says I'd break my back if you were to crash the van
One hand on your cigarette
Got one hand on the wheel
We both know you'd eat your hat before you ask me how I feel
But the truth is
I don't know
And every time we hit a fork in the path I know which way I'll go
And its back home
I'll break my legs
I'll break yours too
You take me out to lunch
And pay for it just to play sudoku
I'll break my legs
I'll break yours too
But I've got a biting hunch
That there's something else you'd rather do
Locked in your living room
My coaster's full of weight
You make your coffee way too strong to make me drink this late
One hand on your cigarette
Got one foot out the door
I guess you ate your fucking hat when you asked me if I still love you anymore
But the truth is
I don't know
And every time we hit a fork in the path I know which way I'll go
And its back home
I'll break my legs
I'll break yours too
You take me out to lunch
And pay for it just to play sudoku
I'll break my legs
I'll break yours too
But I've got a biting hunch
That there's something else you'd rather do

whisky Song

I noticed the sun was fading
I noticed that my face looked like the faces in your paintings
I promised myself not to get too close to you
But you wrote a song about me
So I guess this ones for you
I hate that my laugh sounds like your laugh now
We did it so much it was contagious and you passed it down
And now when I see a street sign or read the number Sixty-Nine
I feel like I can hear you even if you're not around
Cartwheels and backbends
Hot wheels and best friends
We'll meet at the train by the beach where the road ends
Cartwheels and backbends
Hot wheels and best friends
We'll meet at the train and I'll cry but I'll see you again
The whiskey on your mouth is on my mouth now
And both of us are on my floor
The jacket you lent smells like the cigarettes
That you told me you'd quit the week before
Moving away
Is something I'd say I'd always known would happen
Delayed by a year
I became a cashier
The town sucks but it's where you're crashing
Cartwheels and backbends
Hot wheels and best friends
We'll meet at the train by the beach where the road ends
Cartwheels and backbends
Hot wheels and best friends
We'll meet at the train and I'll cry but
If i'm being honest
I think you're finally honest
When you tell me you're doing alright
I've seen it in your smile and how your eyes dilate
In the flickering lights every night
If i'm being honest
I think you're finally honest
When you tell me you're doing alright
I've seen it in your smile and how your eyes dilate
In the flickering lights every night
Cartwheels and backbends
Hot wheels and best friends
We'll meet at the train by the beach where the road ends
Cartwheels and backbends
Hot wheels and best friends
We'll meet at the train and I'll cry but I'll see you again

Light strobes, I'll ignore them
Spending my days at Morgan's
Bury my head in your chest so the flashing lights won't set in
But the migraines are gone now
Spent one whole chapter of my life, wow!
In curtained rooms expecting doom
cursing god when colours were too loud
So come on over I'll pretend
I'll never shake my first at you or god again
You took it too hard
Took it to heart
Took it like tequila shots in my backyard
So come on over and we'll spend
A buck or two on cheap aspirin
For your head
For your mind
Ford's your truck, it has all wheel drive
(okay)
And the Byward Market is a market I hate
It's where you thought you got a flat but you didn't
It's left off the interstate
I collect all of my friend's personality traits
But less like Yu-gi-oh cards
More like a puzzle that I'm trying to create
Pictures on my wall
Remind me of last fall
And fuck I wish it was september
So come on over I'll pretend
I'll never break you or my guitar again
You took it too hard
Took it to heart
Took it like tequila shots in my backyard
So come on over and we'll spend
A buck or two on cheap aspirin
For your head
For your mind
Ford's your truck, it has all wheel drive
So drive me around
Show me all of the spots where you'd kiss pretty girls
In High School in your hometown
Or the corner stores where you'd buy some ice
To hide the shit that you stole
It was over priced
Or maybe a contraceptive device

Think I've got my shirt on wrong
Its inside out again
Think I left the stove on
But I've got to get out of bed
But at least I'm happy again
Something that I never thought I'd really say
Happy again
Really hope it stays this way

Tell me more
Lace up your shoes and head out the door
Meet me on your porch
And I'll listen to you
Pictures on your phone
Flaked out plans and broken bones
Don't want to go home
When I'm with you
'Cause I like you
And I think you're cool
And I'm glad we met in high school
I know there's still time
To play grounders at the park and sit on tiled floors
And I know, I know we'll be fine
We'll be fine
(woo)
So tell me less
I know you crack under stress
But don't get too pressed
'Cause I'll listen to you
'Cause I want to
And I think you're cool
And I'm glad we met in high school
I know there's still time
To play grounders at the park and sit on tiled floors
And I know, I know we'll be fine
We'll be fine

Maybe it's the lack of green space
Or maybe it's a sign from god
But I only find four leaf clovers
When I take the train back to Ottawa
I don't know what I'm missing
But I'm damn sure down to guess
Nineteen hours in the waiting room
White knuckling the bench
And if i ever sleep again
I guess I'll start over and make some new friends
And if I ever think again
I guess I'll start over
Kick rocks
I'll never match my socks when you're around
I'll take walks
Instead of leaving I'll think of something to talk about
Kick rocks
I'll never match my socks when you're around
I'll take walks
Instead of leaving I'll think of something to talk about
Write down half the shit I think
And fuck the length of my bangs if I shave my head in the bathroom sink
I'm so much younger than every hand I get to hold
And I long for adolescence
But I have to be so old
I'm the oldest that I've ever been
And now I'll start over and make some new friends
And if I ever bleed again
I guess I'll start over
Kick rocks
I'll never match my socks when you're around
I'll take walks
Instead of leaving I'll think of something to talk about
Kick rocks
I'll never match my socks when you're around
I'll take walks
Instead of leaving
But I'm sick of this plot line
I'm sick of running this race
When every problem that I used to have
Was a sprint, it would fade away
When everything I knew was leaving
I moved back where I belong
But my sweater's damp and cold from running this
Whole god-dammed marathon
So I'll kick rocks
I'll never match my socks when you're around
I'll take walks
Instead of leaving I'll think of something to talk about
Kick rocks
I'll never match my socks when you're around
I'll take walks
Instead of leaving

Got my big shirt on
The flowers on my deck
Remind me of when Brad slept over
On my couch that wasn't my couch yet
Turn on the TV
And look through the Christmas cards I got
Flynn will watch the hockey game, only when the Leafs play
And scream over Owen, while he plays Boyscott
Blow your money on the lottery, you only lose what you bought
Pack the SUV with everything I own
But I'd rather throw sticks
I'd rather break bricks than leave who I call home
Tell me something that I don't already know
Tell me I'm glowing
Tell me I'm growing
Fill me in on everything when I sleep in and stay home
But am I still a novelty
Now that I'm not Eighteen
Now that I buy my own beer,
And Sean's the cashier,
And I finally figured out what those taxes mean?
And on weekends
We'll go to the load-in spot
We'll grab a slice
And practice the handshake that ends in a gunshot
Blow your money on the lottery, you only lose what you bought
Blow your money on the lottery, cause I hit the jackpot
Pack the SUV with everything I own
But I'd rather throw sticks
I'd rather break bricks than leave who I call home
Tell me something that I don't already know
Tell me I'm glowing
Tell me I'm growing
Fill me in on everything when I sleep in and stay home
