27 blocks away to the liquor store Never thought in my wildest dreams You'd be sitting right next to me Drinking a 40 on some stranger's floor Like this bottle of Mickey's I'm shaking, sweating, slurring nervously Yet your smile puts my mind at ease And now it's getting close to 4AM I don't wanna go to sleep As long as you're in sight, I don't wanna fucking blink So we step out to the wet cement You're enamored by the palm trees, lack of humidity and the cool East Bay breeze I wish you just felt that way about me 'cause tonight, I'll forget all my problems, when I look in your eyes I'm fine, even if for a moment, as long as you're by my side Tonight, I'll forget all my problems, when I look in your eyes I'm fine, even if for a moment, as long as you're by my side You're by my side

I'm captivated, by your Midwestern accent Talking 'bout skating, you seemed so damn fearless Then about Star Wars, don't know where the time went "Radical! Radical!" Oh shit, I got this If only you weren't leaving tomorrow I'd ask if you wanna watch the stars glow Why put ourselves through this? We both know it's pointless I wish that there could be another way Now, 3 months later, in your van riding shotgun It still feels like Summer, and yeah, I'm still pretty drunk We're sleeping on cold floors, concrete's burning outdoors Wake up now! Wake up now! This weekend's not over If only you weren't leaving tomorrow I'd ask if you wanna watch the stars glow Why put ourselves through this? We both know it's pointless I wish that there could be another way

Caught glimpse of my future on a beer coozie It's telling me that I'm real bad with my money What am I supposed to say? If I'm still alive, I can't complain 'cause I'm trading in this week's paycheck For soon-recycled cans and bottles Now I'm getting in to trouble, once again! I got blackout drunk and threw myself down Nick's basement Woke up with a fucked up back, pissed pants and a bloody head What am I supposed to say? I'm still alive, so I can't complain 'cause I'm trading in this week's paycheck For soon-recycled cans and bottles Now I"m getting in to trouble, once again! It's a small world, alcohol And it feels worse after the fall I'm left here with weak knees, so all I can do is crawl Until I hit a brick fucking wall

I got my first tattoo today It's got the first letter of your name I hope you don't read too much into it It's for a song that got me through Desperate nights stuck inside my room Feeling like I was a worthless piece of shit The boroughs of New York City Still don't make much sense to me Like my thoughts, I'm isolated and lost Went to this Greenpoint record store To recharge my phone and maybe more Walked through the stacks and saw a message from god* The East River, baby, your rooftop 4 cans of beer, a couple of twist-offs (a piece) We're always up 'til 4AM You woke up early to call me a cab So I leave you with this Insomniac LP and the hope that you'll think of me When Westbound Sign comes on *In reference to "God Told Me To Skin You Alive" by Winston Smith, it's better known as the cover art for Green Day's Insomniac. Yeah, I'm a fucking nerd.
