You stare at her picture And now they're nothing more than photographs Of two lonely people now who try their best to hold a laugh And you will never see her again Don't say that she was more than a friend Cause you made a choice right then And you was right all along Anna was the enemy When Anna broke your heart in two Anna was the enemy and she was a bitch man you know it's true you turned to the bottle and now you're waiting for the light to change So many questions now from a man who now feels half his age You need something to turn it around You're tired of crying tears of a clown Go ring up a girl downtown who has Just what you need Anna was the enemy When Anna split your lip in two Anna was the enemy I think when you told her "I don't love you" Anna was the enemy There was nothing more that you could do Anna was the enemy and it could’ve killed her Said it coulda killed her I'm not the kind of guy to spell it out She found a man she could lie to She found your heart and she chewed it out We all could tell that she liked you I have the money if you have the time If you will always remember I know a girl who can sort you out If you remember forget her Anna was the enemy When Anna broke your heart in two Anna was the enemy And she was a bitch man and you know it Anna was the enemy there was nothing more that you could do Anna was the enemy

Selfish 03:33
Oh let me tell you about the girl that I love the one who don’t love me (Selfish!) I buy her flowers and the things that she wants I love so patiently I am so thoughtful when I’m making my love She’s always coming first But she gets tired and a sore little mouth I tell you that’s the worst I think I finally could be wrong I got a girl and you might know her (Selfish!) She gets around but now they tell me (Selfish!) I got a mind to go talk to her mother (Selfish!) She is my love there is no other (Selfish!) She doesn’t like my friends She’s hating my crowd And every time we meet She says she’ll leave me, she’s going to chuck me out How could she possibly? I can’t believe I would call this love I’ve got a girl and you might know her (Selfish!) You don’t believe me? I don’t believe me! (Selfish!) I’ve got a mind to go talk to her mother (Selfish!) She must be one hell of a daughter… Oh let me tell you about the girl that I love the one who don’t love me the one who don’t love me I gave her everything

Take My Life 02:48
Take my life into your hands I’m hoping I’m a part of your plans It’s just as well ‘cause you’ve been on my mind I’ve fallen down I’m into your hex But you don’t want love You’re here for the sex Better stop and take my own advice Here’s a girl and she won’t ask twice Take it all Take my life My world could fall now But it would get me high Says she’s all grown up and I know what she means Though she’s one month shy She’s still seventeen And it looks like I could be doing time Better wait till you’re older You sweet little love of mine Take it off Take it all Take my life Call a doctor I’m not going to make it Call the police I’m not going to take it Call me a pussy Not in this for pussy But it would be fine! Take it all

Hey I think she’s coming around and it’s obvious to me she doesn’t know where she is They brought her in unconscious She’s awake and she’s alive it’s so obvious It’s a wide eyed wonder why oh why you didn’t die Girl you wear your heart on your sleeve and your so-called best of friends could see it a mile away yeah they brought you home for dinner And then they served you up for five it’s so obvious It’s a wide eyed wonder why oh why you didn’t die Hey I think she’s coming around and it’s obvious to me she had no clue of where she was The less that you find answers I think the more they’ll find you find it’s so obvious

Redwings 03:17
Well I know there’s a million things about you so go slow as I undress the very being of your soul And we’ll laugh at all the reasons why we’ll never stand each other When will I be coming to? We’re drinking the same old wine Too tired of speaking up I’m down Now that everybody heard I’m not going to quit this time Drink right from your golden cup I’m down It’s your hair that you rock like Jenny Lewis I get scared ‘cause all it takes is a whisper then I’m impaired Then forever more I’ll always be the envy of my brother When will I be coming to? We’re drinking the same old wine Too tired of speaking up I’m down Yeah you were just standing there and I was a lonely guy So much for my conscience set I’m down You’re filling me up child
6.
I’m going to paint a picture You won’t find it in your good book I looked up your internet address Put on your mama’s high heels Put on a little makeup But I think you look much better dressed Somebody’s calling You know I don’t even hear it There’s a truth I’ve been singing I can’t get nowhere near it Because I’m finally out of my mind It must have been a good day the morning you found Jesus and said that we all would go to hell Thinking on the money they’ve been paying for you honey It’s just going to send you there as well Somebody’s calling I really don’t even hear it and there’s a truth I’ve been singing I can’t get nowhere near it Because I’m finally out of my mind And you’re finally out of my mind I don’t know what to tell you But I’m always going to love you only my heart need to adjust I’m going to have to buy you If only just to see you Is that what you mean in God you trust? Someone is calling You know I don’t even hear it and there’s a truth I’ve been singing I can’t get nowhere near it Because I’m finally out of my mind Yes you’re finally out of my mind And I’m finally out of my mind

It was strange enough running into you after all of these fitful years But weren’t you the one flicking off the man when we last drew our blood and tears? Tell me you didn’t you grew up grew out of them Chucks® You were my hero A comic book masterpiece Put down your guitar and some bitter lines That you never would sing to me Tell me it wasn’t the money or your lack of friends That strung up the rebel You’re a rebel You’re Young but you’re tired As quiet descends on a broken world the night came and took your heart What kills me the most is you’ve still got it inside And just looking tears me apart Tell me the rebel will never Will nigh strike again I always will revel a rebel Who’s young and afraid Cause oh then you grow up And your memory will fade And on comes a conscience
8.
Oddly placed in just as oddly a time But I can’t get my bag I can’t get lifted on time It’s alright We have arrived Fighting a tear for someone else’s crime But you got to go you got to get yourself into line Be alive We have arrived I’m not the one who said it But I can’t do nothing at all When there are people just as lovely as you starting to fall Straight in the road there is a man on the mound Says we’ve got to get together cause together it’s on There’ll be light We have arrived Woke up at three and found the voices had gone Still we’re winning when we’re singing we’ll be singing along To the night We have arrived I’m not the one who said it And I wouldn’t dare put you down If you could see it you’d believe it you’d be coming around Now don’t think of life as just a really long time Cause your guess is as good as a good guess of mine Where it will go Nobody knows I’m not the one who said it But they won’t be there when you call It’s just as well because they never really loved you at all It was a lie We have arrived

Have you felt like dying here? It’s a beautiful place and my love lies near I am a man and I hold in my hand what might kill me Have you ever made mistakes? They are beautiful things and the more I make the more I can hold in the tears that I’ve sold while I sing them I sing out It’s in my head and out my mouth and you. Have you told your love you’ll be sorry to go and leave this beautiful, wonderful, you are the one I’ve been dreaming of Consider it done when my song it is sung and I love you. Singing love what is this I’m dreaming of?
10.
I must be a man ’cause I don’t think quite like that A gift is a gift and non-returnable You must be naive to think my heart don’t bleed And the tears that I’ve cried Are non-refundable It was your choice it’s not my fault I lost my voice In calling you out I’m calling you out This must be a sign I stalled trying to phone your line Forgetting a number I never memorized These few little things Pull gently on my heartstrings And when pulled in succession I become hypnotized It was your choice It’s not my fault I lost my voice In calling you out I’m calling you out But it won’t be the same If my poor heart could ever love you again Too bad cause it can’t it won’t My pride it don’t wanna take it When the best you looked at all this year was naked Still I’ll play the tune I know that you like And I’ll play the tune I know that you like It was your choice
11.
The stars aren’t aligned like they were the last time The sun met the earth in this picture of mine I’m taking you out of the memories that remind me of remembering you A flash in the pan for an ordinary man But in this new day and age I find me lost in a raincoat Absorbing the streetlight that shines on your new lover I mistook for a friend And You! the penny tips in your favor Yes You! here is one final letter you and only you need to read I’m flying faster than paper can take all this shit down. For real it’s coming so true And it’s all meant for you my love. Call me hopeless and sad but you were all that I had And in one single bout you knocked my teeth and my heart out With blurred tunnel-vision I’ve made my decision But it’s all I can do just to get over you And You! the penny tips in your favor Yes You! here is one final letter you and only you need to read I’m flying faster than paper So take what you can get my dear It’s coming so true and it’s all meant for you My love. Not worthy of my love.

I’ve been walking down the road Getting colder as I go What you said it might just hit this time Before my heart can tell this head of mine If I could do it all again Would I waver would I bend? You see to me I might just be myself To win your heart I could be someone else Maybe I could And let the sun in Maybe I could But what fun would I be in? When I’m doing alright So maybe next time I could make it right I could say you look so fine be on my way but you will find The minute I walk out the door from you You’ll never get the same old line so true From boys who only want to sleep with you Boys who only want a piece of you Don’t know you like I do Don’t know who they lie to Maybe I could And let the sun in Maybe I could But what fun would I be in? Playing around It’s not from my town
13.
Winter the slumber I am the ghost People tearful but I cry the most I am the ghost That haunts you as your day unfolds And you’ll see me when your hand gets cold Your cool, cold hands The old school I’ll teach you like you taught to me Heartbreak For my sake would love to make you hurt but I know you won’t There’s one song that can make me cry Stops me in my tracks and I don’t know why Perhaps it was losing you Perhaps it was losing your love It was losing your love to an old prom song It was losing your love that took a part of me And it sucked coming down from this ecstasy but it’s not coming back It’s not coming back Winter the slumber I am the ghost
