When I feel so alone
I can't even look down
When no one is there
when I look around
with no purpose
or self control
It leads me to the darkest of corners
and you light my way out

Long walks and deep talks
on the trail by the river
Cardigans and strong winds
The older couple holding hands
And at the fork in the road
you lead me the right way out

Our laughter is gone
and I think about moving on
To heaven or wherever
You make me tough it out

When I feel so alone
I can't even look down
When no one is there
When I look around
with no purpose or self control
It leads me to the darkest of corners
and you light my way out

It's a start of a new year,
And as always, things are exactly the same.
I'm watching my closest get so far from me,
And I've never felt so alone.

I said all I could say,
Not a single thing has changed.
I left them here to doubt me,
They laugh, and then they leave.
I've realized now I'll never become anything.

Another long night of being strung out and alone.
Another night of hearing things
And having messed up dreams.
Another day of rejection.
The people I love seem to be giving up on me.

So, yes, it's true,
I'm snorting lines off of the same books that I read.
And I dream of living in late night kitchen conversations.
So now you know, I try to soak up inspiration any way I can.
And if it's so hard to believe what I say,
Then I should stop speaking.

Another long night of being strung out and alone.
Another night of hearing things
And having messed up dreams.
Another day of rejection.
The people I love seem to be giving up on me.

Just learn to love yourself.
Just forget the rest for now,
And learn to love yourself.
Just forget the rest for now,
And learn to love yourself.

Another long night of being strung out and alone.
Another night of hearing things
And having messed up dreams.
Another day of rejection.
The people I love seem to be giving up on me.

Another long night of being strung out and alone.
Another night of hearing things
And having messed up dreams.
Another day of rejection.

My love
Called me last night

My love
Called me last night

She said "if you don't change, I will"

My love
You could've called
A little sooner
But you know
I wouldn't hold
It against you

And if you want me to change, I will

Cause you can change
Oh, if you want, you can change
If you want
You can change
Oh, if you want, you can always change

And my love
You know
I will change for you
You know
I, I will change for you

My love
Called me last month

She said "I hate to have to put you through all this
But you see
I wanted you to change
And now that you did
I wish that you had stayed the same"

But you can change
Oh, if you want, you can change
If you want
You can change
Oh, if you want, you can always change

But you can change, you can change

And my love
You know
I will change for you
You know, you know
I will change for you

I'm not trying to be your man.
I'm just trying to make you understand
The point.
It's cold as hell in November in Detroit.
Even though it's Saturday, I'm staying in tonight.

Did you think you had it coming, did you think you had it right?
Did you think that you were wonderful and miserable tonight?
You say you didn't mean it. But I think you didn't care.
Cause to my face and before your God, this what you swear...

"Fuck yourself and fuck your family."
"Fuck yourself and fuck your family."

I'm about to get on a plane to new york city
I'm about to leave this town that's left me feeling so empty
Its just me and my guitar and my words
Yeah, together we can take on the world
Now I've been dreaming bout this since I was young
To get on that stage, I'll show them just where I'm from

And I'll show I'm only alright when I'm up there
I'm only real when I'm up there

As I pack my things I check both my empty pockets
And there's still nothing there
No, there's still nothing there

I turn to my left I see my mother crying
She says to me "why couldn't you have been a doctor or a lawyer?"
I say "come on, you know we've been through this before"
I turn and smile at her as I walked out her door

And I said I'm only alright when I'm up there
I'm only real when I'm up there

Am I the only one that sees
just how terrible she is to me?
While we trying to fix things for her,
she was wronging out to nothing.
But I was the one
treated like a criminal for days,
unaccountable words and feelings.
Left alone while the world
said I could make her feel better.

All based on a storyline.

So today I must say,
a part of me honestly hates you.
But still all I want is you,
and your love.
So come on and give it,
we both just forget it.
But when I look in your eyes,
I bet I see you feeling better.

Joanna, you know I love you
And the way that you love me too
So I decided to write a poem
Of all the silly things that we do

Like making a list of all 50 states
Visiting each and every one
Or saying the same things at the same time
As if we both had known

Let's talk about the ???
That you put in your dark hanky
And the way that it creeps me out
And the fact that we have never gotten ready
Without wearing the same thing
And quoting lines from Casper
Like a whisper, "can I keep you?"
Making beds out on the floor
And staying up til we can't take anymore

I love the way that you need your coffee
And I wake up early just to get it for you
And Yaya can read our fortunes
From the Greek grounds that you grew up with
We're screaming out words like s'agapo
To the way I love each and every toe

And when I'm with you
It's like the whole world
Is going faster
And you and I
Are on some ocean
We just stare at each other
While the whole world
Spins around and around

And for our PJs where we just never leave them
Every day is a lazy one
When we're together there's just no one to impress
It's just our love, our cuddles, comfort
And don't forget our happiness

Do you remember our trip to (Crescent?)
Taking ferries and just driving for hours
And walking through the haunted forests
And crossing the man-made bridge
Just to be turned away because we didn't have change
And didn't go cause we wanted to live
Me being crazy, running red lights
And the best Wendy's in the world

And I remember forgetting that anything existed
Except my smile and my girl

So what I'm trying to say is that
Joanna, you know I love you
And I just always, I just always will
So every time that I am far away
I want you to listen to this song
And know that I'll be there for you
No matter what things we may go through
And that being on the other side of the world
Could never stop me from coming home to my girl

Woah, oh, Joanna
