1. _ Konstantine
I can't imagine all the people that you know
And the places that you go
When the lights are turned down low
And I don't understand
All the things you've seen
But I'm slipping in between
You and your big... dreams
it's always you
In my big dreams
And you tell me that it's over
I wake up lying here in a patch of four leaf clover
And your restless,And I'm naked
You've gotta get out
You can't stand to see me shaking
No
Could you let me go?
I didn't think so
And you don't want to be here in the future
So you saythe presents just a pleasant
Interruption to the past
And you don't want to look much closer
'Cause you're afraid to find out all the hope
That you had sent into the sky by now had... crashed
and it did
because of me
Then you bring me home
Afraid to find out that you're alone
And I'm sleeping in your living room
But we don't have much room...to live
I had these dreams in them I learn to play guitar
Maybe cross the country
Become a rockstar
And there was hope in me
That I could take you there
Dammit you're so young
But I don't think I care
and if I hurt you then i'm sorry
Please don't think this was easy
Then you'd bring me home
'Cause we both know what its like to be alone
And I'm dreaming in your living room
But we don't have much room
To live
Konstantine is coming down the stairs
Doesn't she look good
Standing in her underwear?
And I've been thinking
What I've been thinking, you know
But she's been drinking
And it doesn't get me anywhere.
My Konstantine came walking down the stairs
And all that I could do
Was touch her long blonde hair
And I was thinking
What I was thinking
But we've been drinking
No they never got us anywhere.
This is because I can spell konfusion with a K
And I can like it
It's to dying in anothers arms
and why i had to try it
It's to Jimmy Eat World
and those nights in my car
When the first star you see may not be a star
"I'm not your star"
Isn't that what you said
what you thought this song meant
And If this is what it takes
Just to lie in my mistakes
and live with what I did to you
and all the things i've put you through
I always catch the clock it's 11:11
And now you want to talk
it's not hard to dream
You'll always be my Konstantine
They'll never hurt you like I do
No, They'll never hurt you like I do
No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No
This is to a girl who got into my head
with all these pretty things she did
Hey
You know
you keep me up in bed
This is to a girl who got into my head
with all the fucked up things I did
Hey
Maybe
Baby,
You could keep me up in bed
My Konstantine
Spin Around me like a Dream
We played out on this movie screen
And I said,
did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed you
Oh God I Miss You
And then you bring me home
And we'll go to sleep but this time not alone, no No,
And you'll kiss me in your living room, oh
And you see no,
what I've been missing in my living room
Cause it's all you
yeah this is what i've missed
what i've missed
We don't have much room
I said, Does anybody really need that room
'cause we all need a little but of room
To Live
...My Konstantine

2. _ Little
Climbing out of the sky
A man who could fly
And a painting anyone could play
It's a comic book crush that taught you to trust
Staring out of the stands at a rock 'n' roll band
And a hero no one else could save
It was never much
But it's all that you gave
And I wonder
If you wonder
Or did your stars finally explode
Did the thunder pull you underneath the haze?
I'm amazed, than I let go
Little minds let little games
Burn big old dreams with little flames
And you don't think I understand
Little holes in parachutes
Won't leave you falling, if they do
It's because you want to land
Climbing out of his chair
To fix the T.V. glare
Is a man but no one knows he's there
It's a dramamine dream
That keeps you alive but lost
She's got her plastic friends
Nad a brand new Benz
And she laughs, 'Hell, sometimes life ain't fair'
it's a comic book crush that got them nowhere
And I wonder
If you wonder
Or did your stars finally explode
Did the thunder pull you underneath the haze?
I'm amazed, than I let go
Little minds let little games
Big big old dreams with little flames
And you don't think that I understand
little holes in parachutes
Won't leave you falling, if they do
it's because you want to land
These elevator doors are closing
Again you leave before I planned
i taste you walking down the hall
You left your perfume on the nightstand
Little mins let little games
Burn big old dreams with little flames
And you don't think that I understand
Little holes in parachutes
Won't leave you falling, if they do
It's because you want to land

3. _ Walking By
Your grand dad left home for the circus
He was young just like me
With hope to explore
He married a girl in Virgina
She could sing the trapeze
They could sleep on the floor
Your mother was born in December
On the one sunny day that winter gave up
She had warm summer eyes
That flickered like fireflies
When she stared at the world
So why do you leave these stories unfinished?
My Cheshire cat doorstop with tears in her eyes
Why do you look when you've already found it?
What did you find that could leave you walking by?
She was raised in a New England village
Than she moved to LA with her firefly stare
You love sunset when it sparkled
You grew up and you sparkled but why don't you care?
So why do you leave these stories unfinished?
my Cheshire cat doorstop with tears in your eyes
And why do you look when you've already found me?
What did you find that could leave you walking by?
These nights I get high just from breathing
When I lie here with you I'm sure that I'm real
Like that firework over the freeway
I could stay here all day but that's not how you feel
So why do you leave all these questions unanswered?
The circus awaits and you're already gone
My Cheshire cat doorstop with fear in her smile
What makes it so easy for you to be walking by?
And what did I do that you can't seem to want me?
Why do we lie here and whisper goodbyes?
Where can I go that your pictures won't haunt me?
What makes it so easy for you to be walking by?

4. _ Forget December
On Christmas Morning
outside was pouring
All was hopeless in this home
With no one speaking
and no one creeping
To she if she was on the phone
And if you weren't quiet, this routine riot
Is all but pratical to me
And if we see it, why can't we beat it
Can we let each other be?
Forget December, It won't be better
Than I remeber I remember it before
And this month only, would be so lonely
And not so holy anymore
New Year's Eve came,
but nothing had changed
All the problems just got worse
You sat in silence, no routine science
Could heal the sickness we rehearse
And if I'm talking,
my words are mocking
The deaf ears they have fallen on
These words are tainted,
with years of jaded
In a sense that's all but gone
Forget December, it won't be better
Than I remember it before
And this month only, would be so lonely
And not so holy anymore
Anymore...
Forget December, it won't be better
Than I remember it before
And this month only, would be so lonely
And not so holy anymore
Forgrt December, it won't be better
Than I remember it before
A silent night won't feel quite right
It's not so silent anymore
Anymore...
On Christmas morning
outside was pouring
All was hopeless in this home.

5. _ Straw Dog
Staring into the intersection
she thinks that she can fly and she might
holding on in a new direction
she's gonna try it tonight
the closer i get to feeling
the further that i'm feeling from alright
the more i step into the sun
the more i step out of the light
Jessica is covered in a blanket
on a sunday porch
thinking on the weekends
she would party in the city
she doesn't have a flame
she'd prefer to burn out
like a torch
If she gets nowhere in life
At least she knows she's pretty
She says
Hey Now The Straw dog's out in the street
Hey now there's chemicals in the clouds
Hey now they're calling all the police
But they wont get to us anyhow
The moon is shining now
And shadows are what's left of all the noise
simple silhouettes and cut outs
As if we had a choice
he listens closely now
swears that he can hear a voice
that's calling him
and saying
Hey now the straw dog's out in the street
Hey now there's chemicals in the clouds
Hey now there calling all the police
but they wont get to us anyhow... No
What does it take to be a super hero in my world
make no mistake that these villains always get the girl
we can escape and then we'd skate away from all of this
but no one ever does
She's saying
Hey now
The straw dog's out in the street
There's chemicals in the clouds
Hey now
They're calling all the police
But they wont get to us anyhow

6. _ Punk Rock Princess
Maybe when the room is empty
Maybe when this bottle's full
Maybe when the door gets broke down
Love can break in
Maybe when I'm done with thinking
Maybe you can think me whole
Maybe when I'm done with endings
This can begin
You could be my punk rock princess
I could be your garage band king
You could tell me why you just don't fit in
And how you're gonna be something
Maybe when your hair gets darker
Maybe when your eyes get wide
Maybe when the walls are smaller
There will be more space
Maybe when I'm not so tired
Maybe you can step inside
Maybe when I look for things that I can't replace
I can't replace...
You could be my punk rock princess
I could be your garage band king
You could tell me why you just don't fit in
And how you're gonna be something
If I could be your first real heart ache
I would do it over again
You could be my punk rock princess
I could be like heroin
I never thought you'd last
I never dreamed you would
You watch your life go Past
You wonder if you should
you should be my punk rock princess
I would be your garage band king
You could tell me why you just don't fit in
And how you're gonna be something
If I could be your first real heart ache
I would do it over again
If You could be my punk rock princess
I would be your heroin
Whoa Oh You know, you only burn my bridges
Whoa Oh You know, you just can't let it sink in
You could be my heroine
You could be my heroine
