Me and You 03:35
People are sending me get well soon balloons You're breaking my heart and I'm building my own cocoon The flowers on my corsage died But we slow-danced 'till I lost my mind You told that you had a good time And a great evening But now we're just staring at the same floor Kicking our feet Oh, I thought I saw a sparkle in your eye So what can I say? What can I do? To break the walls between me and you? I sang your favorite song I knew that you would know it I cut off all my hair Just to see if you would notice And I realize people like people like you Charming, confident, casual, cool People like people like you And I do too So what can I say? What can I do? To break the walls between me and you? I'm sorry miscommunication is all we'll ever be And I stopped letting myself look at you not looking at me And I've tried, but you never ever let me in I'm an open book, but your illiterate You never gave me anything Oh but I thought I saw a sparkle in your eye So what can I say? What can I do? To break the walls between me and you? So what can I say? What can I do? To break the walls between me and you?

I'd like to believe that we're still sinking deep Into the corners of your couch cushions You'd like to imagine all your college classes Made you so grown-up looking You taught me to move, we tip-toed through the room You made me feel famous You will forever be my closest acquaintance But we were watching all your favorite movies Sitting there absolutely still And I don't understand how we can make plans And only talk about T.V. But oh, what a wonderful waste of time I'd like to pretend that I am still your houseguest Wearing too much perfume You'd like to believe I'm still sinking deep Into the corners of your couch cushions I'm watching you drive, holding the road Your wrists were hairtied and braceleted I held them both, not knowing we'd be close acquaintances But we were watching all your favorite movies Sitting there absolutely still And I don't understand how we can make plans And only talk about T.V. But oh, what a wonderful waste of time We hide inside our headphones And speak when convenient or when we're bored "Hey", that's all that we say, say, say anymore But I know we don't know what we want But we were watching all your favorite movies Sitting there absolutely still And I don't understand how we can make plans And only talk about T.V. But oh, what a wonderful waste of time Oh, what a wonderful waste of time

Weather 03:19
Deep conversations are never to be had Between me and you I was mistaken to think that our bond would hold But it only lasted the week Why can't we be more Be more than mere acquaintances Who only talk about the weather? We climbed a mountain Seen the most beautiful of views Went to an island Seen the world, but our bond never held How many adventures will it take for us to stay together? How many adventures will it take for us to stay together? Why can't we be more Be more than mere acquaintances Who only talk about the weather? Our friendship died It only lasted one night So its a good thing that I'm not dependent on you for love Our friendship died It only lasted one night So its a good thing that I'm not dependent on you for love Our friendship died It only lasted one night So its a good thing that I'm not dependent on you for love Why can't we be more (Our friendship died) Be more than mere acquaintances (It only lasted one night) Who only talk about the weather? (So its a good thing that I'm not dependent on your for love) Why can't we be more (Our friendship died) Be more than mere acquaintances (It only lasted one night) Who only talk about the weather? (So its a good thing that I'm not dependent on your for love) But is it your fault or is it mine? Maybe it is my fault the stars don't shine anymore

August Song 03:54
Who are you, but a rumor that I heard But I never did believe? And who was I, but a secret that you had to know But knew you couldn't keep? You've become a crowd And I can't find my way out This is my August song Maybe I'll feel better in September Who are you, but a rumor that I heard But I never did believe? And who was I, but a secret that you had to know But knew you couldn't keep? You've become a crowd And I can't find my way out I'm still in love with you But I'd never say it out loud This is my August song Maybe I'll feel better in September I'm waiting on a shooting star To do its job and help me help you remember You said it was just a lapse of judgment But I heard you right the first time You said it was just a lapse of judgment Was that what it was? Was that all it was? This is my August song Maybe I'll feel better in September I'm waiting on a shooting star To do its job and help me help you remember You said it was just a lapse of judgment But I heard you right the first time You said it was just a lapse of judgment Was that what it was? Was that all it was?
