So if I'm really gonna make you mine, I gotta have a better plan than yelling in your ear till you say "alright."
I'll write it down again, some things I plan to send but I never find a way to say it right.
I've gotta make this right oh darling, so can't we just pretend that this isn't the end of you and I?
Girl you've got to see these eyes have never told the truth, and if you looked into these eyes, they'd say "I need you.”
You've got me all tied up in knots with everything you say, the way you've got me hanging on every word.
I've gotta get away from you girl, before I lose control.

You know that I've been trying for a long time just to show you I'm not as dumb as I seem,
And it's true that I've been looking for the best high, but it's you that I've been chasing in all of these dreams.
And I know that you've been trying for a long time just to show me that you're not as smart as you seem,
And it's true that I'm just looking for the best high, but it's you that I've been chasing in all of these dreams.
So come on, I've got a place we can hide, they won't know all of my bad intentions.
So come on, I've only got a little time until they find me out, cause I'm a bad guy.
And I'm trying to let go of all my past ties and I've gotta do it soon because I'm running out of second tries, and third and fourth tries, and you know I'll never get it by the tenth time.
So come on, I've got a place we can hide, they won't know all of my bad intentions.
So come on, I've only got a little time until they find me out, cause I'm a bad guy.
So come on, oh, cause I'm a bad guy. So come on, oh, yeah I'm the worst kind.
So come on, we've only got a little time until they find me out cause I'm the worst kind.

Seven years go by and I can't even look at your face.
Repeat mistakes I made a million over.
No love, no time, I've failed you again.
Open up your arms, I need you, I hurt you again. I know, and every day I hate me for it.
And nothing I can say will ever make this right again.
I made myself believe that things were changing.
You said it was so beautiful to me, and now I know that I'm behind you, so I try not to repeat.
Seven years go by and I see you turn and look the other way.
Repeat mistakes I made a million over.
I've tried, I've cried, I've failed you again.
Jumping arm in arm, your warm smile kills me again, it hurts knowing it won't last forever.
And nothing I can say will ever make this right again.
I made myself believe that things were changing.
You said it was so beautiful to me, and now I know that I'm behind you, so I try not to repeat.

If I thought of a different way to say all the things I never said, would it end in a different way?
Or will we repeat this scene again just like old friends?
Will we be so indifferent, or will I be the bitter one, and just throw it right back in your face?
And she said...
If I held it all in, would this all go away? And if I let it all go, would this ever change?
Cause I don't know how to let go, I haven't tried in so long, and I'm afraid if I let go, I'll find out I was wrong.
If I thought of a different way to say all the things I never said, would it end in a different way?
Or will we repeat this scene again just like old friends?
Will we be so indifferent, or will I be the bitter one, and just throw it right back in your face?
And she said...
If I held it all in, would I still feel the same? And if I let it all go, would this ever change?
Cause I don't know how to let go, I haven't tried in so long, and I'm afraid if I let go, I'll find out I was wrong.
I've played it out in my head ten million times until I truly did believe it.

Just like I pictured you, under those city lights, eyes wide open.
Just like I buried you under the years of pride, eyes closed tightly.
Just like my morning is filled with mourning, tales from tattoos.
Just like my interest has turned to absence, oh I've missed you.
I know this feeling, I know I'm dreaming.
And what if I had said that I had missed you too oh would you care, or am I scribbling in vain cause I've tried to say that I have failed and I can't find another person like you in my life.
Just like my waking, that glimpse into your eyes, shining brightly.
Like every entrance, just like your presence, holds me tightly.
Like every afternoon is filled with thoughts of you, tales from tattoos.
Just like my interest has turned to absence, oh I've missed you.
I know this feeling, I know I'm dreaming.
And what if I said that I have missed you too oh would you care, or am I scribbling in vain cause I've tried to say that I have failed and I can't find another person like you in my life.

Summer of Dog

I don't have time to give, I don't have time to live it all again or a heart to win.
I don't have time to make it up to you, or time to prove to you I'm worth it because I'm not.
I've just got time to waste, I've just got time to waste on anything but your embrace.
I waste all my time with all my greens and blues, baby there's just no you written in any of these summer nights.
This is my Summer of Dog, this is my sick selfish love for you, I wrapped it in paper and threw it away.
This is my Summer of Dog, this is the last chance I'll get to be the sick selfish person I'll still be when you leave.
So if I just let go, so if I lose control, you've got reasons to let me know.
Just set them next to every "I Love You" and every "I'll be True" because I've given them all away.
I don't have time to give, I don't have time to live it all again or a heart to win.
I don't have time to make it up to you, or time to prove to you I'm worth it because I'm not.
This is my Summer of Dog, this is my sick selfish love for you, I wrapped it in paper and threw it away.
This is my Summer of Dog, this is the last chance I'll get to be the sick selfish person I'll still be when you leave.
