Track Name: Plans For The Future
I want to tell you that I'm going somewhere new
I want to call you on the phone
but all these words, they leave me nothing. I'm alone.
so shut me up inside the walls of this new home

I still have your number, I still have those pictures
Yeah I'm sure you know
I still have these matches, I still have this bottle
and I can't leave either of them alone

A mouth or a tissue? A Song or a letter?
I don't even know
I still have those pictures, you still have my records
I gave you my own.

And if I could call you, would I hear your voice or that fucking dial tone?
I don't know

I want to tell you that I'm seeing someone new
I try to tell myself that she's better than you
and I thought the world would seem more beautiful to me
without your lips between my teeth
and those words you used to speak
but with my face between her legs I can't see
Track Name: O Caroline
Oh Caroline, you won't be mine, and I don't mind. And I don't care if you're not here, but I won't stare at all the clouds just passing by like all the people in your life, all the girls that you don't like and all the boys who waste your time like you waste mine. But I don't mind, because I've wasted my whole life, and I don't care because I'd like to waste a hundred lives with you.

And in another, I wouldn't dare to sing this song. The words are bad, the chords are wrong and they've been used by better men, the ones you love, the ones that you call better friends, and they've been used by better men than me.

And in another, I wouldn't dare to sing to you. I'd stare a hole into my shoes. I'd kiss the ground beneath your feet. I'd try to hide inside the alleyways of all your favorite streets because they've been crossed by better men than me.

Yes they've been crossed by better men time and time again, and you've been used by better men time and time and time and time again. And one day you will see the truth comes clear to everybody except me, and one day you will see that you don't belong to anybody.
Track Name: Last June
I'm kissing the same girl I was kissing when we met in June, and she is completely opposed to everything that reminds me of you.
and I'm humming the same tunes I was listening to back in June
(Elephant Eyelash and Everyone Asked About You)

and it went, "It starts with you on a mattress in your parents' old room
clipping your toenails into the room" like the room could change you
and I thought, maybe with luck on my side I might just change you too
but with god on my side I'd have somebody better than you.

So I'll be singing the same songs from all my old records, and if I forget you I'll start to feel better, like if I go back to the end of December, or if I clean up all those leftover embers and put them away like a box full of letters to sisters and friends who don't know any better, and then when I go you won't have to remember the feelings you had before you fucked it over so then when I go I'll be gone, and you won't even know it.

Until I'm back in that basement, back on that day, when you broke it all off (tore me apart) from miles away, and I'll never forget the look on your face or the lack of emotion that your eyes displayed.

So, that's why I can't stay? So, that's why you can't stay?

So I'll be singing the same songs from all my old records today.
