Home - The Dangerous Summer

I can’t tell you where I’ve been

But I hope to God you know

I want to run away from this

Fuck California

It’s just the safest place I know;

Where everything is making sense

So get me out of here

And I will take this to my grave

Yeah, that’s my dream

You took me out to make a point

I made damn sure you missed your flight

I’ve got more lines

To write about you when you’re gone

Because see, this CD has got me lost

And songs won’t ever save my life

Just send those post cards to make it known

That you won’t take to heart all the ways I’ve lost

Because I’m gone now and I’m trying not to change

When everything I want to sing is just wasting breath;

I’m a liar, but I’m working on my ways

I swear some day when I’ve got a way to change my life

I’ll be a singer with a throat;

and I won’t fuck up all these lines

But that’s a hope, yeah that’s all I’ll ever be

You used to have your faith in all my words

But now you’re killing all of me

That you won’t take to heart all the ways I’ve lost

Because I’m gone now and I’m trying not to change

When everything I want to sing is just wasting breath;

I’m a liar, but I’m working on my ways

I lost my voice, and then my mind

I wrote a book of all my thoughts

That could take me from my life

I had to fight to stay alive

Because if I make it through the night

Then I just swear I could survive

So where’s your head

And all your heart?

I’ve got a plan to make this work

But I can’t bring myself to try

I’ll take this slow.

I’ll make you move

I know you can hear me screaming because it’s all I ever do

That you won’t take to heart all the ways I’ve lost

Because I’m gone now and I’m trying not to change

When everything I want to sing is just wasting breath;

I’m a liar, but I’m working on my ways
