Please don't send Nathanial mashed potatoes or crackers or sandwiches or pizza. Although he would appreciate the gesture.

Track Name: Left On The Bed
the space in the bed
faded about as fast
as the infatuation did
we both paid no mind
to where the lines separated
I ain't estranged
and I don't claim to be
'cause I've seen my fair share
of infidelity

so long
see you tonight
when you mean
goodbye
it's so wrong
you and I
I know that you want him back
baby

there was nothing
that I could have said
that made him not want me dead, but
my heart still beats
both blue and blood red
the ups and downs
in and outs
are black and white, but grey
is the shape we made
when you you'd kiss me and say

so long
see you tonight
when you mean
goodbye
it's so wrong
you and I
I know that you want him back
baby

It was none of my business
I know
but it was wanton and waiting
to show me
to be witness
to what it is that I sow
so I decided
it wasn't pryin'
it was intentional
and instead
I sat down
read the letter you
left on the bed
it said

Dear baby,
I know it's been crazy lately
between you and I.
But I've been missing you wantin'
to hold you today until the day that I die.
And if you gave me a chance, that'd be the best day
in romance since, Romeo met Juliet.
and I bet that you bought it so

so long
see you tonight
when you mean
goodbye
it's so wrong
you and I
I know that you want him back
baby
and he wants you back baby
Track Name: Stay
say it ain't so
you and I know
It's always the same
situation
I come and I go
you say although
it's just a game
of repetition

I get a brand new start
you always tell me that
I'll always have your heart
I know that

every time I go
I know you'll
chase me back home
and out of every word you say
It's never stay

been here before
come back for more
conversation
let me adore
you mi amore
and end the separation

I get a brand new start
you always tell me that
I'll always have your heart
I know that

every time I go
I know you'll
chase me back home
and out of every word you say
It's never stay

I've realized
just how much I need you
it's no surprise
that you can't say
that you do too
you can't say
you can't walk out now
and if you don't say it
I want
back out now

every time I go
I know you'll
chase me back home
and out of every word you say
It's never stay
Track Name: Nintendo Song
If I had my way
we'd be Nintendo
and we'd play doubles all night long
and then when we
get to the next level
you'd paint
and I'll play a song

'cause I'd have
all the hearts
with high score
find all the keys
to all the doors
n to finally beat the game
save the princess from the evil king
call it what you want
but I think we both know what I mean

there's no cheating in this game
except
up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, b, a start
n' then
I would be invincible
and have super powers and
you couldn't play punch out
with my heart

If I had my way
we'd be a cartoon
wake up early every morning
just to watch you
and then to see
your eyes and the girl inside
I'd pour cold water on you

'cause I'd be
Mighty Mouse
or The Brain
I'd be so strong
do all the right things
'cause when Bluto takes Olive Oil
you know Popeye always gets her back
we'd solve the case, pull off the masks
and cook up some Scooby snacks

We'd have all the dragon balls
live forever
together
nothing could tear us apart
we would be invincible
super Saiyon
you couldn't be
a Happy Tree Friend
to my heart
Track Name: Brevity
for the sake of brevity
I fail to mention most
keepin' you in high spirits
and the rest of us in high hopes
you look out the window
and I'll slip in the back door
and we'll both pretend this never happened, before
all that that summer fetches
I can only conjure up
Faces in photographs
Illuminate
why we say it in French
sounds like a place I wanna go
but everybody notices my American accent

I don’t mind the weather, it’s better than I thought at least
if I could keep myself together I’d forever hold my peace
time flies by like feathers, I’m heavy at the feet, but
I gotta get goin’
the night was on beyond belief

I suppose we’ve learned a lesson
now the time has come to play
we spent our whole lives in detention
waitin for the bricks to brake
and the days go by we hide our tells
in every word we speak
are the lies we have to tell ourselves
disguise the skeletons we keep

I don’t mind the weather, it’s better than I thought at least
if I could keep myself together I’d forever hold my peace
time flies by like feathers, I’m heavy at the feet, but
I gotta get goin’
the night was on beyond belief

all in all take your time to call
I’ll be on the other end of the line
I’ll be on the other end of the line
I would wish you well, but I can tell
by the look in your eyes you’ll be fine
that’s all I need to ease my mind

I don’t mind the weather, it’s better than I thought at least
if I could keep myself together I’d forever hold my peace
time flies by like feathers, I’m heavy at the feet, but
I gotta get goin’
the night was on beyond belief
Track Name: Princess
you can run but you can’t hide
when I find you, I’m gonna crawl inside
get wrapped up in your skin
close your eyes
kiss you once, kiss you twice
until you’re found, I’m gonna turn this town
upside down
ready or not Suzie Q
I got the skills to seek you out, and when I do
I’m gonna bury myself inside you
I’ll hold you close enough
that our hearts might touch

I got a place that we can go
and then I’ll find a spot and not move till you say so
and you know that
if you want to come
with me I’ll take you anytime
just count down 10 to 1
then no doubt we can turn this house
inside out
I’ll do anything you want me to
I got the will to wait you out
and you’ll see
why you fell in love with me
you hold me close enough
that our hearts might touch
Track Name: The Bandits pt. 2
you’ve got a problem I’ve got
the means to solve it
things ain’t always as bad as they seem
if you want trouble, then
you’ve got it
I’ve got just what you need
when it all goes down
I’m comin' out shootin’
you better catch me while you can
cause you know, I ain’t all that
fond of loosin’
I’m the getaway man

and at the drop of a dime we can
drive down to Mexico
find ourselves somewhere to settle down
sit and watch the sunset off
the beaches of Acapulco
somewhere we’ll never be found

and now they’ve got the place surrounded
but it ain't too late to save ourselves
you really think I’m the one dumbfounded
you’ve got me mixed up with someone else
we’ll take the money and run
get the hell out of here
take with us, a hostage or two

break out this Tommy gun and make my way clear
cause for us there’s nothing that I won’t do

and at the drop of a dime we can
drive down to Mexico
find ourselves somewhere to settle down
sit and watch the sunset off
the beaches of Acapulco
somewhere we’ll never be found
