I woke up alone and I got out of my bed
I went to make an omelet but I cracked a beer instead
and reached out to her through Facebook
just to let her know I'm doing fine
she's all I think about
always, all throughout the day
as I go through my iPod
and the songs we used to play
and just when I think I'm over it
she gets me right back on the line
I can't wait to see her
she swears that she'll be here
I'm holding my breath
just like the day she went away
break my heart, it's been called off today
she canceled all the plans that we'd already made
and the bracelet that I bought for her
I'm taking back to Santa Fe
I'll be stopping at the store, to buy another quart
because I need something to sing to
and to keep the cabin warm
and when I'm jamming in the car
on the way to ride my skate
to my own fucking demo tape

photographs of home
never look the same on your phone
and nothing can compare with the scent in the air
and the people you know
in Ohio
Ohio, Oh no
you showed up on day one
you’ve been taught since you’re young to do right
and karma hasn’t caught up
but you’re still sure someday she might
they say ‘kid you’re going places’
you prayed that they’re right
you’ve been waiting for it your whole life
in Ohio, Oh no
rock and roll don’t sound the same on digital
and you can’t start a band at the i tunes store
and album sleeves don’t mean a thing on computer screens
you just wanna take it home
to Ohio

suburban kids grow up scared
everybody talks about their plans to leave here
after graduation rolls around
johnny started smoking methamphetamine
and he'll never talk to his brother again
dear john hung himself when the demons got too loud
finished university, whats it for?
found a whole new level of insecure
and when I finally stack the paper will I get the girl?
will the panic start to fade?
suzy brought a cellphone to the gallery
she's got an eye for art, or just misery
but would you rather die alone or with company in the grave?

lately i’ve
been up all night
i’ve not been sleeping right
it must be how i feel inside
like i’m gonna die
like theres too much time
another stroll all alone through the dark of my home
telling myself these little lies, like I’m alright
hallelujah, i hardly knew ya
still glad to see you go
we’ll sing rejoices and raise our voices
tonight is the first night i’m finally on my own
i’m getting out
i’m leaving home
i’ll finally break the cycle
and the shackles on my bones
so fade to black
i’m still alone
the only headlights on the road
i’ll be singing to myself
and the radio…

sometimes its hard to keep it together
i think of the fun we had
and i keep going through all kinds of weather
remember the love we had?
thats all gone, its all wasted, its all dead and untrue
the things that you did to me, and what have i done to you?
we keep going, we’re going & then we’re gone
low cards but they say it gets better
and think of the other half
i’m pissed off cause you swore it’d get better
remember the hope we had?
we don’t have any more
we just keep going and we don’t know right from wrong
we’ve been going and going and someday we’ll all be gone
we just keep going and going, i never thought it’d take this long
and if you want to or you don’t
they’ll bury us alone
in a hole by the side the road
half stoned
half dead
half asleep in my bead
and i swear the day is almost through
i’ve been crying alone over you
