My Stupid Mouth
My stupid mouth
Has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday
And I could see
She was offended
She said "well anyway..."
Just dying for a subject change
Oh, another social casualty
Score one more for me
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one soon
We bit our lips
She looked out the window
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker
And I could see clearly
An indelible line was drawn
Between what was good, what just slipped out and what went wrong
Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again.
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one
I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me
Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now
One more thing
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it's all because of this desire
I just wanna be liked
I just wanna be funny
Looks like the jokes on me
So call me captain backfire
Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again.
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one
I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me
Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now
I'm waiting to give you whatever the world may bring
I'll give you my life, cause I don't own anything
Seems like the bottle was all that I had until now
I'll give you my life, if you give me yours somehow. |

| not a huge Mayer fan, but just saw Dismemberment Plan this weekend, kick ass show
What Do You Want Me To Say
I lost my membership card to the human race
So don’t forget the face
Because I know that I do belong here
Go down the checklist let’s see:
Feelings are good
Dishonesty is bad
And keeping it inside is worse still
If you want problems well I guess we got one now
I really don’t know how
There’s injuns over every goddamn hill
What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do?
To let you know that I do feel and
What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do?
To let you know that I do feel and
What do you want me to say, yeah?
I see it coming from a million miles away
What else can I say?
The only way you know I love you
And there’s no eye-to-eye just Moses on the mount
Or I’m down for the count
You need your man above or below you
I cannot cry at will but I do wish I could
‘Cause it’d do you some good
When every joke I make is treason
There was a time when you could make me laugh at will
And you can do it still
But never is it for the right reasons, yea…
What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do?
To let you know that I do feel and
What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do?
To let you know that I do feel and
What do you want me to say, yeah?
I did a gweat whaaaat? |

| Dunno, just been in a john mayer mood lately...I think he's a great songwriter its kinda grown on me lately.
John Mayer
Comfortable
I just remembered that time at the market
snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart
and rolled down aisle five
you looked behind you to smile back at me
and crashed into a rack full of magazines
they asked us if we could leave
I can't remember what went wrong last September
though I'm sure you'd remind me if you had to
our love was comfortable and so broken in
I sleep with this new girl I'm still getting used to
my friends all approve,
say "she's gonna be good for you"
they throw me high fives
she says the Bible is all that she reads
and prefers that I not use profanity
your mouth was so dirty
life of the party and she swears that she's artsy
but you could distinguish Miles from Coltrane
our love was comfortable and so broken in
she's perfect
so flawless
or so they say
she thinks I can't see the smile that she's faking
and poses for pictures that aren't being taken
I loved you
grey sweatpants
no makeup
so perfect
our love was comfortable and so broken in
she's perfect or so they say
so flawless
I'm not impressed
I want you back
I'm never speaking up again, it only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery than she desert me
Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting Now... |

| I just saw the video for this song this morning on mtv2...i kinda like it.
NO SUCH THING
"Welcome to the real world", she said to me
Condescendingly
Take a seat
Take your life
Plot it out in black and white
Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
And the drama queens
I'd like to think the best of me
Is still hiding
Up my sleeve
They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something's better
On the other side
I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you've got to rise above
So the good boys and girls take the so called right track
Faded white hats
Grabbing credits
Maybe transfers
They read all the books but they can't find the answers
And all of our parents
They're getting older
I wonder if they've wished for anything better
While in their memories
Tiny tragedies
They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something's better
On the other side
I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you got to rise above
I am invincible
As long as I'm alive
I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you've got to rise above
I just can't wait til my 10 year reunion
I'm gonna bust down the double doors
And when I stand on these tables before you
You will know what all this time was for
I don't need you to be by my side & tell me that everythings all right.
I just wanted you to tell me the truth.
You know I'd do that for you.
So why are you running away?
