Album: New Ocean Waves
i know that quater in the arcade game was just a final straw
a series of events that sent you running from the bar
and i left my pitcher off the beer and i left the bar so soon
cause i knew i couldn't let you leave without kissing you
and i laid awake in my bed and i could hear you sleeping
and i knew that i couldn't sleep, so i kept daydreaming
climbed up from that ladder, camped out on the floor
hoping you'd wake and know what i was there for
but then the luckiest thing happened: my roomate was so drunk
and she left the water running and it woke all of us up
sounded like the freight train that you were waiting for
maddie had to catch the train back to our door
so then you stood up and step on me and got all confused
wondering who was laying on the floor next to you
and i said that it was me and then you asked again
and i said that it was me, i think it started to make sense
so i asked you what you thought of the boss and our consult
you thought that he was great and then you told me 'bout the swamps
and the flat lands and the punk kids that kept moving east
and the sissies house and all the kids that moved to philly
Counting down until i had to go to work and then i had to go to work
and those birds that i hate woke up and started to chirp
and i wanted you to stay, but you had to leave
cause you're a rockstar and you had to go play a shell and eugene
yeah, rockstars have to leave to play shells and eugene
so all day at work i felt like puking cause i drank ten cups of coffee just to stay awake
and i wish that you had been here for one more night
so that we could have gone sledding in the moon light
but i didnt sleep for twenty hours like a blizzard heat
stayed up watching movies and drinking cheap beer
the fireplace was filled with old furniture
that i rescued from the shed to keep us warm in winter
you kept me warm in winter.
