Body Regardless
(Capo 2)
I hate the sound of my voice
I can’t stand that I don’t have a choice
I hate my square jaw line
This fucking face must not be mine
This body wasn’t made for me
Why can’t everybody see?
Tonight
I just don’t feel right
I won’t hide this
I won’t be quiet
I will be who I’m meant to be, body regardless
I won’t hate this
I won’t push this
I won’t let anybody tell me any different
I hate the sound of my voice
I can’t stand that I don’t have a choice
I hate my hips and thighs
This fucking chest must not be mine
These clothes just weren’t made for me
Why can’t I just look like me?
Tonight
I just don’t feel right
I won’t hide this
I won’t be quiet
I will be who I’m meant to be, body regardless.
I won’t hate this
I won’t push this
I won’t let anybody tell me any different

Getting Poison Ivy Every Summer For 13 Years
(Capo 2)
Am I funny enough?
Am I serious enough?
Do I Talk enough
Or do you just want me to shut up?
I’m the Colorado weather
I just can’t make up my mind
And It’s fucked up how the little things
Seem to be the worst sometimes
Am I good enough?
Am I sexy enough?
Do I clean enough
or did I clean a bit too much?
I’m the Colorado weather
I just can’t make up my mind
And It’s fucked up how the little things
Seem to be the worst sometimes
I can’t make any decisions
Please tell me like it is
Life’s hard enough to begin with
But it seems so easy for them
Am I being too straight forward?
Do you want any of this?
Just know that if you leave me
I’ll apologize for it
Am I funny enough?
Am I serious enough?
Do I Talk enough
Or do you just want me to shut up?
I’m the Colorado weather
I just can’t make up my mind
And It’s fucked up how the little things
Seem to be the worst sometimes
I can’t make any decisions
Please tell me like it is
Life’s hard enough to begin with
But it seems so easy for them
Am I being too straight forward?
Do you want any of this?
Just know that if you leave me
I’ll apologize for it

Lazy October
(E harmonica)
Spent the whole damn day just fucking off
Watching shitty movies with my dog
Smoking lots of weed and talking about
How I wish I could write better songs
Drive around and look at the same two streets
Just so I don’t feel like I’m bored
Anything to make just one day
Feel like it’s more
When we both have the same day off
We’ll spin some old school records with our dog
Drink some beer and talk about
How our lives have really come along
We’ll drive up to our secret spot
And hike around until we feel sore
Anything to make just one day
Feel like its more

Passion. Innovation. Dedication. Rigatoni.
I want to die doing what I love
It doesn’t have to be eventful
Just something somewhat meaningful
When its finally my time
I’ll go out just fine
I want to die doing what I love
I’ll have a heart attack
Putting on my favorite record
I’ll just break my back
Dancing to my favorite song
So lets smoke a joint
And choke to death while we are laughing
Make these good times everlasting
That's how I want to go out
I want to die doing what I love
It doesn’t have to be eventful
Just something somewhat meaningful
When its finally my time
I’ll go out just fine
I want to die doing what I love
I’ll die falling off a mountain
I’ll die running from the cops
I’ll die watching scary movies
I’ll die playing shitty songs
I’ll die in my friends apartment
I’ll die in an old thrift shop
I’ll die watching scary movies
I’ll die playing shitty songs
I’ll die playing Super Mario while stoned

Jumping In
I’m feeling anxious
But I’d like to pretend that I’m not
I’m feeling generous
but a dollar is all that I’ve got
I imagine a scene where the people I love
Have everything they want
This whole grown up thing
Isn’t quite what I thought
I’m feeling useless and pointless
Just trying to look ahead
Adventurous
At least inside my head
I dipped my hand in the waters edge
And then I jumped right in
Metaphorically
It’s better than I thought
It would be

The Living Dead
Well my backpack is full of bricks
Each one is something wrong I did
And I carry them everywhere I go
But I smile so nobody knows
These weights on my shoulders seem
To drag down my reality
I’m reaching for a hand
I'm begging for someone to understand
Misery loves company
Well I don’t think that applies to me
When I’m alone how can I be
So sad that I can’t even breath?
The weights tied to my ankles seem
To drag down my reality
I’m choking in the sheets
I'm drowning in the seas of my dreams
You make me grateful to be alive
Like I don’t want to fucking die
I just wish that we had more time
I don’t want to leave anyone behind
You make me grateful to be alive
Like I don’t want to fucking die
So i’ll just take my precious time
And spend it living like i’m alive
Living for life
Living for life
Living like I’m alive

Nevada
(B flat harmonica)
Every time I take a step outside
The winter frost breathes down my neck and trickles down my spine
And I don't think that I can tell the difference
Between the smoke and my exhaling breath
Now
As I walk down these cold lines
I can feel my eyes run dry
As I think back to the time
When we rode here on our bikes
And I wish I could check up on you
To know that you're alright
And I try not to think about
What my life would be like
What you gave was what you had
What you gave was what you had
What you gave was what you had
What you gave was what you had

What Did You Learn In School Today?
(Capo 2)
What did you learn in school today
Dear little boy of mine?
What did you learn in school today
Dear little boy of mine?
I learned that Washington never told a lie
I learned that soldiers seldom die
I learned that everybody's free
And that's what the teacher said to me
That's what I learned in school today
That's what I learned in school
What did you learn in school today
Dear little boy of mine?
What did you learn in school today
Dear little boy of mine?
I learned that policemen are my friends
I learned that justice never ends
I learned that murderers die for their crimes
Even if we make a mistake sometimes
That's what I learned in school today
That's what I learned in school
What did you learn in school today
Dear little boy of mine?
What did you learn in school today
Dear little boy of mine?
I learned our country must be strong
It's always right and never wrong
Our leaders are the finest men
And we elect them again and again
That's what I learned in school today
That's what I learned in school
What did you learn in school today
Dear little boy of mine?
What did you learn in school today
Dear little boy of mine?
I learned that war is not so bad
I learned about the great ones we have had
We fought in Germany and in France
And someday I might get my chance
That's what I learned in school today
That's what I learned in school
