Cantautores: Rocky Votolato + Jeremy Enigk + Jonah Matranga



Come along with me now cause
there are things i been dyin to tell you
the best of the worst things that you never needed to know
this is the kinda comedy where no ones laughing
cause its hard to

im a punch line whos punch drunk with my fist in a broken mirror
theres a party nearby, i can hear it
laughter in the distance and it all comes clear
sounds too simple
love is the only answer
everything else is just a train wreck

gonna stay up all night every night for the rest of my life
till the lines around my eyes grow deeper and more defined
you might ask me arent you dead inside and so damn tired
i say i have no idea
im not sleepin until after the dying is over

i can hear laughter in the distance and it all comes clear
sounds too simple
love is the only answer
loves a train wreck, your a mistake



threw myself on the floor
chasing time
at the door
half-past nine
self-control
lace your own heart
on the door

night will mourn
and i'm sleeping on the better debt of day
like the rising off
they won't need me till tomorrow
night that claims the sky
forever dreams of a better day

half-past nine
rise at four
tracing time
after all
casting iron
self-control
lace your heart
on the door

night will mourn
and i'm sleeping on the better debt of day
like the rising off
they won't need me till tomorrow
night that claims the sky
forever dreams of a better day
say you'll be around




These dreams'll raise you up
Some kids wanna be rockstars, and some kids wanna be firemen

But those dreams'll mess you up
If you're in it for the bright lights and the battle scars
It'll turn you into a liar, man

I don't know if I've seen a million faces
I'm not sure if I've rocked them all
All I know is I've met a lot of people
Filled a lot of spaces
Learned to jump and learned to take a fall
And if that's not livin' large, then
I'm happy livin' small

Well, most of us, when we go out looking,
as we do, for our lovers and our friends
Yea, we know it's not just supposed to
be about what looks good
We know it's not really all about the benjamins
Yea, but business is a lot like love and
business is a lot like friendship, isn't it?
Yea, well either way, if you just go out
looking for what's rich and hot
You'll end up with a piece of shit

I don't know if I'll make a million dollars
Yea who knows, maybe if I return those calls...
All I know is when I tune in,
turn on and go out
It's not my radio
It's not my tv show
It's not my rock-n-roll
Looks like one big fashion show
All these punk rock pimps and hoes
Sellin' this and sellin' those
Sodas, cars and phones
I mean, what's the dilly, yo?
This channel isn't clear at all
And if that's what passes these days for livin' large
Then I'm happy livin' small.
