You were talking about moving to the west coast
About leaving the lone star for the golden state
My California is full of ghosts
And I guess you're just another one that haunts me from time to time
You stayed late at my house that night
After all of my friends had left
And you know how much I love you
So you stay as late as you want
And I opened your letter put it in my box
Your smile lights up the room
Even the darkest of rooms you're there
And suddenly it's all
Beautiful
My friends were talking about you
They say you've gotten hot but you've always been
We're looking out with your telescope
You see the stars and all the light
I just see the darkness
You're kinda crazy
But I guess I love that about you
And you're blind but you're kind
You always mean well
And you sat there in that coffee shop
Saying that I never call you enough
But did you know that if I pick up the phone
I'll fall back in and I won't get out
And you meant the whole world to me
You were the whole library
But I think that I was just a book
All worn out and up on the shelf
You pick me up in your car
It's 10:30 on a Saturday
You pick me up in your car

Til I Get Tired

If I keep loving you
If I keep loving you
If I keep loving you
Til I get tired
If I keep chasing you
If I keep breaking you
If I keep loving you
Til I get tired
Til I get tired
You were staring at me
From the balcony
Took one look at you and now
I can't breathe
All that I know now is I don't
Know anything at all
Count the steps to your door
In the morning light
Hold me close tell me all will
Be alright
If I hear you in the doorway
If I hear when it stops, if I hear you when it stops, if I hear you when it stops
If I keep chasing you
If I keep breaking you
If I keep loving you
Til I get tired
If I keep chasing you
If I keep breaking you
If I keep loving you
Til I get tired
Til I get tired
Til I get tired
Til I get tired
Til I get tired
If I keep loving you
If I keep loving you

Coffee in my dog mug sitting in the corner
We're talking about how we adore her
And now it's her birthday and you don't wanna go
You're too tired and oh I know
Do I get on the highway you say to turn right
Ask why I'm always a little uptight
And at my place you pick up my guitar
Play the song that was on in the car
Ooh I can feel myself starting to cry
Wipe the tears from my puffy eyes
In the bathroom on a Tuesday night
Play a sad song, make me feel alright
Got a problem?
Would you tell me so
Instead of never, ever, ever letting it go

You're the sea of saltwater
I was looking for a drink
Drank you up with a straw
Now I'm losing everything
If I, If I, If I, If I keep trying, t-t-t t-t-t trying
If I, If I, If I, If I keep trying, t-t-t t-t-t trying
Drowning in something celestial
In your lotus eyes
Trying to drive but it's too crowded
They're all trying to stay alive
If I, If I, If I, If I keep trying, t-t-t t-t-t trying
If I, If I, If I, If I keep trying, t-t-t t-t-t trying
I'm gonna love you til my days get old
I'm gonna love you til my heart explodes
I'm gonna love you til I sing you a song
About everything in a love gone wrong
Gonna sit here at the subway station
Gonna read the paper and talk in a language
I don't know, that you don't know
That you don't know
That you don't know
That you don't d-don't d-don't d-don't-don't
That you don't know
That you don't know
That you don't d-don't d-don't d-don't-don't
That you don't know
That you don't know
You're the sand and I'm the baby
Who's stepping in the bit
Push me and I'll just cry harder
And make you wanna quit
If I, If I, If I, If I keep trying, t-t-t t-t-t trying
If I, If I, If I, If I keep trying, t-t-t t-t-t trying
I'm gonna love you til my days get old
I'm gonna love you til my heart explodes
I'm gonna love you til I cry on my pancakes
Listen to Jewel to ease the heartache
Gonna sit here at the piano bench
Gonna see my neighbors and talk in a language
I don't know, that you don't know
That you don't know
That you don't know
That you don't d-don't d-don't d-don't-don't
That you don't know
That you don't know
That you don't d-don't d-don't d-don't-don't
That you don't know
That you don't know
That you don't d-don't d-don't d-don't-don't
That you don't know
That you don't know
That you don't d-don't d-don't d-don't-don't
That you don't know
That you don't know
If I, If I, If I, If I keep trying, t-t-t t-t-t trying
If I, If I, If I, If I keep trying, t-t-t t-t-t trying

Blue Screen

You started listening to Elliott Smith
I thought that it was kinda strange
I didn't think he was really your style
You've changed
You seem a lot taller than me
I think I grew half an inch too
Or maybe it's just my tennis shoes
You're the blue screen
Screaming at you, screaming at me
You're my movie
You're the TV
Watching you, watching me
Watching you, watching me
blue screen,
and sometimes,
I think I should call you,
but I'm scared you'll think that I'm still in love wth you.
You sip your coffee
Talk about your mother
And I cover up the emptiness for today
When you leave
I don't think about it
I'm blasting my music on the highway
You were talking about moving to the west coast
You keep talking about moving to the west coast
Talking about moving
Keep talking about moving
Keep talking about moving
Keep talking about moving
Would you take me with you?
You keep talking about moving
Would you take me with you?
You keep talking about moving
Keep talking about moving
Keep talking about moving
Keep talking about moving
