lyrics

There are lights in the sky
At an [8] or [9], trying to find
Which lights are made of the stuff of made of
The planes and their people or the stardust and it's love?

And it makes me feel like things might be okay
I know I've fallen apart but I found the last piece today
There's a hole shot through the middle, but I think that it'll run
Stick that fucker in my chest, yeah, there's some work to get done

And I know I've been a shitty friend
For the past like dozen weekends
I don't respond to texts
Pass out on your couch because I'm depressed

So thanks to all my friends
For opening your doors and floors
And letting my fucked up head get some rest

Sometimes Adam's Song still makes me cry
Sometimes I just cry and I don't know why
When I'm alone I start freaking out
So I always spend every night out
Changes in tone and small creases in faces
Make my mind jump to the worst places
When someone pauses, silence before they respond
My head goes off like a fucking alarm

When I drive I try to avoid places where bad things happened to me
I'm running out of places to go
I guess it's time to find a new map, a new city
And start crossing off another batch of roads

But thanks to all my friends
For giving me that extra little push
And getting my dumb ass into life
I know I can be a dick
And I'm always fucking late to everything
But I'm closer than I've ever been to all right

Remember when we got in that car accident
And we both thought it'd be fun to do again? (Hell yeah!)
Because life could always use some more excitement
More unexpected, honest nights we won't forget
Ribbons we won't remember right but
We'll always feel the ties
Like the summer I smoked cigarettes
Man, I was so weird back then
I guess I still am now
It's just a different sack of shit to sell

I know when to use 'good,' when to use 'well'
I've honestly no more fears of going to Hell
The world's not so bad, it's mostly me
But it's harder to change a planet than it is to change a human being

As A Lark Ypsilanti, Michigan

They have more elaborate calls than most birds, and often extravagant songs given in display flight. These melodious sounds (to human ears), combined with a willingness to expand into anthropogenic habitats — as long as these are not too intensively managed — have ensured larks a prominent place in literature and music. ... more
