There's no where to be
And that's just fine with me
We're happy just for tonight
Student loans and mortgages
Confidence shortages
Just how will I pay for the year?
I know I shouldn't complain
But it just seems insane
How everything breaks around here
She wants to let me in
He tells me to chill out
I'm coming down again
What the hell is that about?
Jon buys the beer
Cause he's 21 here
And we'll hope things turn out alright
There's nowhere to be
And that's just fine with me
We're happy at least for tonight
She wants to let me in
He tells me to chill out
I'm coming down again
What the hell is that about?

Bedroom Life

Burned out his life, in a hospital bed
Surrounded by lives, that exist in his head
Squandered his talent, his heart and his charm
For another good hit, and the beast in his arm
His brother couldn't get his priorities straight
Built up his walls, was a little too late
Too old to start over, the sun's going down
He might as well hang around in that town
Life is outside your bedroom door,
All it takes is to want a little more
To just be happy

All I'm Good For

Back in New York my future was easy
Cause it didn't exist yet for me
But when all that was over I just had to show her
The way things just aren't meant to be
I don't know where I am going
I find I don't care anymore
I'll drink it until I am glowing
Cause frankly it's just about all that I'm good for
I've lost touch with my dreams
Or they gave up on me
And when you've lost all it seems
Things just aren't meant to be
In the end I just smile and think of last summer
And the way everything used to be
I don't know where I am going
I find I don't care anymore
I'll drink it until I am glowing
Cause frankly it's just about all that I'm good for

All those nights spent in your car
3 AM didn't feel that far
We'd take a drive out Route 5
What happened to feeling alive?
I still remember that day
Cigarettes and college couldn't keep us away
You made some joke about I don't remember what
And he just shook his head and smiled
We were nothing but alive for awhile
All those nights spent in your car
3 AM didn't feel that far
We'd take a drive out Route 5
What happened to feeling alive?

Early September

9 o'clock on a Friday, in early September
We were nervous and awkward, I think I remember
But we pulled off and undid, and with a last breath
Drifted into each other, with nothing else left
The windows fogged over, the music didn't fit
But from the backseat of my car, I have to admit
With you and I against the headlights and the weather
I've never been more happy in early September
We were real, I could feel, with my hands on the wheel
I was sure I was yours, just as we closed the doors
We laid intertwined and felt very much alive,
This car and each other were all we needed to survive
Then your parents were worried, after all it was late
The keys in my hand, let's get something straight
Pulled up to your house, fifteen minutes late
The brights were still on, one of many mistakes
"The First Days of Spring" played a little too loud
When you kissed me that Friday, in early September
The night was our friend, so we let it in
But time wasn't welcome inside
