lyrics

i was on my lunch break; i almost started crying / for the boy at the top of the bridge / he didn’t jump, but if he had, he wouldn’t be the only one / who thought that he had to give in / and you said you didn’t have it all that bad / and i said i didn’t have it all that bad / but i snuck off to parking lots and playgrounds after dark / my parents’ basement while they were asleep / i didn’t talk with a lisp; i dressed like all the straight boys did / i didn’t talk about who i had kissed / and now you don’t really have it all that bad / and now i don’t really have it all that bad / but i don’t kiss you at the grocery store / and i don’t kiss you at the library / i don’t kiss you at the rest stop off the interstate / and i don’t kiss you at my parents’ house when they are not asleep / i was on my lunch break; i almost started crying / ‘cause it really does get better if you wait / and there are times now when i still feel afraid / but gone are the times when i feel ashamed / and so for all the kids that really have it pretty bad / for all the kids that never had the chance / maybe i should kiss you at the grocery store / and maybe i should kiss you at the library / maybe i should kiss you at my parents’ house / and maybe i should kiss you at the movies / maybe i should kiss you when we go out to dinner / and maybe i should kiss you every night before i fall asleep / and maybe i should kiss you at the rest stop off the interstate on the border of georgia and tennessee

I'm a sucker for music that feels honest. Everything about this album, including the production quality; feels like a good kid trying to make his way through a screwed up world. TimTTT

this album came to me at a perfect time in my life, i was on a plane and severely missing some of my favorite people, and scared about what the future would hold for us. lots of tracks on this album spoke directly to that feeling, and that hadn't ever happened for me in such a way before. it was like magic :) ghuey97
