Earth and air and water and fire
Truth and lies and lower and higher
You and me can be closer together
I can see that we are birds of a feather
Time will tell how long this thing will burn
I'll let go when you tell me it hurts
There's kerosene around I'll find something to do
Maybe find a spark between me and you
There's kerosene around I'll find something to do
Maybe start a fire between me and you

Full moon tonight and I'm feeling alone
I head to the bar, don't feel like being home
Six beers in, I spot some fresh meat
I reel him in, I don't miss a beat
No one can see you, no one can hear you scream
You're stuck with me now
All I can say is that you're not the same anymore
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Now you can't fight, let's see what's inside
No one will miss you, no one saw you leave
You're my companion
All I can say is that you're not the same anymore

I remember when I started, back when I still thought I could
It's taking longer than I wanted, now I don't know if I should
Not so sure
Now I'm feeling the frustration, maybe it's not in the cards
Throwing in the towels is a consideration
I didn't think it'd be this hard
I'm giving up, I'm giving up, I've had enough.
Its alright, it's ok
You did your best, forget about it, tomorrow's another day
Its ok, it's alright
The only way to truly fail is to not put up a fight at all
Not at all
If I could finish what I started, don't you know I surely would
It's taking longer than I wanted and it's not looking very good
Its alright, it's ok
You did your best, forget about it, tomorrow's another day
Its ok, it's alright
The only way to truly fail is to not put up a fight at all
Not at all

I gotta get back to 2016 and warn everyone of the trash and trouble I've seen
Some many dead and so many dumb, I'm here to tell you that the chice we made was the wrong one
Definitely the wrong one
I wanna go back, take me back, get me outta here
Take me back to 2008 and celebrate a time that felt hopeful
People were looking forward not back and somehow it felt like we were on the right track
Oh, take me back.
I wanna go back, take me back, get me outta here
Take me back to 91, I wanna watch Nirvana open for Sonic Youth
No cell phones and no You Tube
People having fun making out in a phone booth
Bumps in the bathroom
I wanna go back, take me back, get me outta here
Take me back to 72, bennies and ludes and rock and roll was still true
T-Rex, The Stone and Big Star smoking a doob in the back seat of my car
Of my car
I wanna go back, take me back, get me outta here

Satisfied is what you're not
It's alright, you'll get another shot
Que sera, sera
Don't sit there looking so slack jawed
Keep your eyes in the prize
It's alright to feel the butterflies
Get up and try again
Instead of dwelling on what could've been
It's alright, It's alright
I know I'll never be famous or hear my songs on the radio
I don't need my picture in a magazine
I just wanna rock and roll
Don't say you'll ever give up
At something that you're good at
You're doing what you love
That's more than most of us can say
It's alright, It's alright
I know I'll never be famous or hear my songs on the radio
I don't need my picture in a magazine
I just wanna rock and roll

Ghost

The lights are on, it's time to go home
It's been so long, so good to see you
There's something wrong, don't you know I can tell
The look on your face tells me everything I need to know
I can be anything you want
Can't you see I'm hollow like a ghost?
The lights are on, it's time to go home...
I can be anything you want
Can't you see I'm hollow like a ghost?

Love

I heard them talking and snickering
Pointing and laughing and mocking me
They said they loved me but I don't think
They understand what that means to me
You got inside me and made it feel true
Made me see something other than blue
What was I thinking when I let you in?
I should've know you'd just be a sin.
But love, love.
I'm having a hard time get outta me head, don't want this anymore
But love, love

There comes a time when you really should say
What you've got on your mind
There's so much less to it than you think
Words are deaf, dumb and blind
I forget words when I look in your eye
And I feel like I could just die
I can't believe that you think I don't care
Maybe I should've lied
Before you write me off
Before you think I'm gone
I'll remind you that I'm still here
I'm still here
It hurt as bad as sticks and stones
That time when you said more than I needed to hear.
Before you write me off
Before you think I'm gone
I'll remind you that I'm still here
I'm still here
