Be Good

A jagged line of ink runs down my sheets
It signifies the border of my broken restless temper
I think I'm writing in my sleep
Depending on which side I wake up on I might remember
How I'd describe myself in three words, please
My mouth works out the sounds but I'm no adjective inventor
I say all sort of stuff that I don't mean to say
I've got a thought surplus that won't stay put
It's getting way too difficult
To say that I'm okay
But for now I'll just keep trying to be good
Sometimes everything looks blurred
As if my eyes are much too tired to hold a vision
Sometimes I scare the shit out of myself
I barely know why I'm still living
But there's a reason I've made it this far
I may not be professional but I'm slightly proficient
I've used an old friend's car keys for a tambourine and some cardboard for a kick drum
But all my music sounds the same the words are plain and I can't pinpoint where they're coming from
I say all sort of stuff that I don't mean to say
I've got a thought surplus that won't stay put
It's getting way too difficult
To say that I'm okay
But for now I'll just keep trying to be good
It's getting way too difficult
To say that I'm okay
But for now I'll just keep trying

Front Lawn

I miss the way you drape yourself right on my aching shoulders
An imaginary cape fit for a superhero scared of getting older
Kids like us now how to call it when we see it
Only gets to be a problem when we don't know how to beat it
I miss how when you smile it looks just like California
But I haven't seen both in a long, long while I hope they're nice and warm
I'm apprehensive that we might be growing up too quickly
It's tough to keep on trucking but just know I miss you dearly
It's so clear to me
I wish that I could live life on your front lawn
'Til the plants are all paved over and the paint upon your house is almost gone
It's chipping off
And when you're too scared to go outside
I'd be there on your front lawn
I told you if you had too many books I'd build a custom shelf
But you just read the liner notes articulating how to be yourself esteem is something that I formerly admired
It's looking sort of thin these day you seem like you're real tired
Please know I'm trying
I wish that I could live life on your front lawn
'Til the plants are all paved over and the paint upon your house is almost gone
It's chipping off
And when you're too scared to go outside
I'd be there
You ask why I'd stick around
You mentioned that there's so much more to see
Don't want to paraphrase you
But I think in terms of always you know
I wish that I could live life on your front lawn
'Til the plants are all paved over and the paint upon your house is almost gone
It's chipping off
And when you're too scared to go outside
I'd be there on your front lawn
