Safer on the Outside

Monday, May 1st, 2006

I’m no good
I feel too small
something’s gonna burn
sink on you
drunken highways
someone take the wheel

faded in the blackout you left me in
it’s safer on the outside
I’m swimming in
this kerosene it’s hard to breathe
statics got me down

I can’t sleep
I’m disconnected
everything went wrong
and certain stars
are sad and bruised like
someone’s cheating heart

faded in the blackout you left me in
it’s safer on the outside
I’m swimming in
this kerosene it’s hard to breathe
statics got me down

faded in the blackout you left me in
it’s safer on the outside
I’m swimming in
this kerosene it’s hard to breathe
statics got me down

faded in the blackout you left me in
it’s safer on the outside
I’m swimming in
this kerosene it’s hard to breathe
statics got me down

got me down, got me down, got me down
safer on the outside, safer on the outside
safer on the outside

I’m a Fool

Monday, May 1st, 2006

got nothing to loose this time
and I’m bored with the same old lines
I never know what to do or what to say to you
one look and you’ll knock me out
you put me on the floor with a ten count
I don’t wanna make a scene I gotta make you see
that I’ve been waiting for a girl like you
and I know there’s nothing I could do

don’t wanna make you hurt
don’t wanna make you feel
like the world ain’t on your side
like you’re never gonna get it right
no I can’t fight I can’t sleep at night
just thinking about you girl
I’m a fool for you
yes I am

you’ve been on my mind
since I saw you walking by
I knew I had to know you better you were everything
but I didn’t know what to say
so you just walked away
I couldn’t believe what a fool I was to let you go
cause that I’ve been waiting for a girl like you
and I know there’s nothing I could do

don’t wanna make you hurt
don’t wanna make you feel
like the world ain’t on your side
like you’re never gonna get it right
no I can’t fight I can’t sleep at night
just thinking about you girl
I’m a fool for you
yes I am

yeah

then I saw you at the beach talking with my friends
I couldn’t believe my eyes it was my lucky day
so I just asked you out to the Forum to see No Doubt
when you said you would go I thought I might explode
cause that I’ve been waiting for a girl like you
and I know there’s nothing I could do

don’t wanna make you hurt
don’t wanna make you feel
like the world ain’t on your side
like you’re never gonna get it right
no I can’t fight I can’t sleep at night
just thinking about you girl
I’m a fool for you
yes I am

don’t wanna make you hurt
don’t wanna make you feel
like the world ain’t on your side
like you’re never gonna get it right
no I can’t fight I can’t sleep at night
just thinking about you girl
I’m a fool for you
yes I am

yes I am
I am a fool for you
yes I am
I am

Flavor of the Week

Monday, May 1st, 2006

She paints her nails and she don’t know
He’s got her best friend on the phone
She’ll wash her hair
His dirty clothes are all he gives to her
And he’s got posters on the wall
Of all the girls he wished she was
And he means everything to her

Her boyfriend, he don’t know
Anything about her
He’s too stoned, Nintendo
I wish that I could make her see
She’s just the flavor of the weak

It’s friday night and she’s all alone
He’s a million miles away
She’s dressed to kill
But the TV’s on
He’s connected to the sound
And he’s got pictures on the wall
Of all the girls he’s loved before
And she knows all his favorite songs

Her boyfriend, he don’t know
Anything about her
He’s too stoned, Nintendo
I wish that I could make her see
She’s just the flavor of the weak

Yeah

Her boyfriend, he don’t know
Anything about her
He’s too stoned, he’s too stoned
He’s too stoned, he’s too stoned

Her boyfriend, he don’t know
Anything about her
He’s too stoned, Nintendo
I wish that I could make her see
She’s just the flavor of the weak

Yeah she’s the flavor of the weak
But she makes me weak
