Mark Tom & Travis Show

Hey mom, there's something in the backroom
I hope it's not the creatures from above
You used to read me stories
As if my dreams were boring
We all know conspiracies are dumb

What if people knew that these were real
I'd leave my closet door open all night
I know the cia would say
What you hear is all hearsay
I wish someone would tell me what was right

Up all night long
And there's something very wrong
And i know it must be late
Been gone since yesterday
I'm not like you guys
I'm not like you

I am still the skeptic yes you know me
Been best friends and will be till we die
I got an injection
Of fear from the abduction
My best friend thinks i'm just telling lies

Up all night long
And there's something very wrong
And i know it must be late
Been gone since yesterday
I'm not like you guys
I'm not like you

Dark and scary, ordinary, explanation
Information, nice to know ya, paranoia
Where's my mother, biofather

Up all night long
And there's something very wrong
And i know it must be late
Been gone since yesterday
I'm not like you guys
Twelve majestic lies

It's alright / to tell me / what you think / about me
I won't try / to argue / or hold it / against you
I know that / you're leaving / you must have / your reasons
The season / is calling / and your pictures / are falling down

The steps that / i retrace / the sad look / on your face
The timing / and structure / did you hear / he fucked her?
A day late / a buck short / i'm writing / the report
On losing / and failing / when i move / i'm flailing now

And it's happened once again
I'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
Sees through the master plan

But everybody's gone
And i've been here for too long
To face this on my own
Well i guess this is growing up

Well i guess this is growing up

And maybe / i'll see you / at a movie / sneak preview
You'll show up / and walk by / on the arm / of that guy
And i'll smile / and you'll wave / we'll pretend / it's okay
The charade / it won't last / when he's gone / i won't come back

And it'll happen once again
You'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
And sees through the master plan

But everybody's gone
And you've been there for too long
To face this on your own
Well i guess this is growing up

Well, i guess this is growing up [4x]
Well, i guess this is growing up

i never thought i'd die alone
I laughed the loudest who'd have known
I traced the cord back to the wall
No wonder it was never plugged in at all
I took my time, i hurried up
The choice was mine, i didn't think enough
I'm too depressed to go on
You'll be sorry when i'm gone

I never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when i still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over we'd survived
I couldn't wait till i got home
To pass the time in my room alone

I never thought i'd die alone
Another six months i'll be unknown
Give all my things to all my friends
You'll never set foot in my room again
You'll close it off, board it up
Remember the time that i spilled the cup
Of apple juice in the hall
Please tell mom this is not her fault

I never conquered, rarely came
But tomorrow holds such better days
Days when i can still feel alive
When i can't wait to get outside
The world is wide, the time goes by
The tour is over, i've survived
I can't wait till i get home
To pass the time in my room alone

I know what it's like to be alone sitting in your room
Listening to all the doubts that your parents have to say to you

And as your head gets all cluttered inside
Try to stay awake
Everything they say are lies
That's all the shit that you ever have to take

So hold in all your aggresions
Because your grinding your teeth on down to
The bottom of your chin

It's not easy or so damn pleasing
To not laugh at everything they say that
They tell you what to be you're not alone

I know what it's like to be denied at everything you do
It's not the same reason why that
Makes you change the things that you once knew

As your head gets all cluttered inside
Give more than you take
Everything they say are lies
That's all the shit that you ever have to take

So hold in all your aggresions
Because your grinding your teeth on down to
The bottom of your chin

It's not easy or so damn pleasing
To not laugh at everything they say that
They tell you what to be you're not alone

You say you want to take off your shoes and
Walk barefoot down the street
Just to be the things that you can be
Just live for one more week (go!)

You say you want to take off your shoes just to
Walk barefoot down the street
Just to be the things that you can be
Just live for one more week

So hold in all your aggresions
Because your grinding your teeth on down to
The bottom of your chin

It's not easy or so damn pleasing
To not laugh at everything they say that
They tell you what to be you're not alone

so sorry it's over
So sorry it's over

There's so much more than i wanted and
There's so much more than i needed and
Time keeps moving on and on and on
Soon we'll all be gone

Let's take some time to talk this over
You're out of line and rarely sober
We can't depend on your excuses
Cause in the end it's fucking useless

You can only lean on me for so long
Bring the ship about to watch a friend drown
Stood over the ledge
Begged you to come down
You can only lean on me for so long

I remember shots, without a chaser
Absent minds thoughts, now you're a stranger
Cover up the scars
Put on your game face
Left you in a bar
To try and save face

You can only lean on me for so long
Bring the ship about to watch a friend drown
Stood over the ledge
Begged you come down
You can only lean on me for so long

So sorry it's over
So sorry it's over

There's so much more that i wanted and
There's so much more that i needed and
Time keeps moving on and on
Soon we'll all be gone

Man on a mission
Can't say i miss him around
Insider information
Hand in your resignation
Loss of a good friend
Best of intentions i found
Tight lip procrastination
Yeah later
See you around

Don't leave me all alone
Just drop me off at home
I'll be fine, it's not the first
Just like last time, but a little worse

She said that i'm not the one that she thinks about
She said it stopped being fun, i just bring her down
I said don't let your future be destroyed by my past
She said don't let my door hit your ass

One more chance, i'll try this time
I'll give you yours, i won't take mine
I'll listen up, pretend to care
Go on ahead, i'll meet you there

She said that i'm not the one that she thinks about
She said it stopped being fun, i just bring her down
I said don't let your future be destroyed by my past
She said don't let my door hit your ass

Let's try this one more time with feeling
One more time with feeling
One more time with feeling
One more time with feeling

She said that i'm not the one that she thinks about
She said it stopped being fun, i just bring her down
I said don't let your future be destroyed by my past
She said don't let my door hit your ass

Don't leave my all along
Just drop me off at home, and i'll be fine

I took her out
It was a friday night
I wore cologne
To get the feeling right
We started making out
And she took off my pants
But then i turned on the tv

And that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're 23
And are still amused by tv shows
What the hell is add?
My friends say i should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?

Later on
On the drive home
I called her mom
From a payphone
I said i was the cops
And your husband's in jail
The state looks down on sodomy

And that's about the time that bitch hung up on me
Nobody likes you when you're 23
And are still more amused by prank phone calls
What the hell is call id?
My friends say i should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?

And that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're 23
And you still act like you're in freshman year
What the hell is wrong with me?
My friends say i should act my age

What's my age again?

And that's about the time that she broke up with me
Noone should take themselves so seriously
With many years ahead to fall in line
Why would you wish that on me?
I never wanna act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?

What's my age again?

Let's take the boat out on the bay
Forget your job for just one day
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
It might be inappropriate, because
Either way, our band gets dropped, oh yeah
I wish it didn't have to be so bad

But i'd play with fire to break the ice
And i'd play with a nuclear device
Is it something i'll regret
Why do i want what i can't get
I wish it didn't have to be so bad

The 3 date theory's getting old
Everyone's getting left out in the cold
I wish it didn't have to be so bad
So i'll see you with another guy
Who pretends not to hear you when you cry, oh yeah
I wish it didn't have to be so bad

But i'd play with fire to break the ice
And i'd play with a nuclear device
Is it something i'll regret
Why do i want what i can't get
I wish it didn't have to be so bad

I'll be moving on, moving on, moving on and on
Moving on, moving on, moving on and on and on

But i'd play with fire to break the ice
And i'd play with a nuclear device
Is it something i'll regret
Why do i want what i can't get
I wish it didn't have to be so bad

Please take me by the hand
It's so cold out tonight
I'll put blankets on the bed
But I won't turn out the lights, just
Don't forget to
Think about me, and I
Won't forget you
I'll write you once a week she said
Once a week she said...

Why does it feel the same
To fall in love or break it off
And if a young love is just a game then
I must have missed the kick-off
Don't depend on
Me to ever follow through on
Anything but
I'd go through hell for you, and

I haven't been this scared, in a long time,
And I'm so unprepared
So here's your valentine
Boquet of clumsy words
A simple melody
This world's an ugly place
But you're so beautiful, Sky Lee

I think about the times
You kissed me after class and
You put up with my friends
I acted like an ass...I
Ditched my lecture
To watch the girls playin' soccer
Is my picture
Still hanging in your locker

I haven't been this scared, in a long time,
And I'm so unprepared
So here's your valentine
Boquet of clumsy words
A simple melody
This world's an ugly place
But you're so beautiful...

I haven't been this scared, in a long time,
And I'm so unprepared
So here's your valentine
Boquet of clumsy words
A simple melody
This world's an ugly place
But you're so beautiful, to Travis!
