Bedroom Pop Dream

Each drive home from your place I listen to songs that we list When we can't find the words Or want to amplify them I cry all the way to my street I can't help it all wells up And 135 off-ramps They never really help you come down Monday morning traffic makes me wish That I have never ventured from your kiss A Monday mourning this poor broken heart I need to lay to rest, but Whatever makes you laugh or smile I guess "You live a bedroom pop dream" Is what you said while holding me In a room just like the ones That all our favorite songs were written in You said that I had won you over But all I did was show you around A life I'd built inside a town That wasn't where I'm from but you called home Monday morning traffic makes me wish That I had never ventured from your kiss A Monday mourning this poor broken heart I need to lay to rest, but Whatever makes you laugh or smile I guess There are times I wonder if You're wondering of me And each time I check with you You only make me grin Monday morning traffic makes me wish That I had never ventured from your kiss A Monday mourning this poor broken heart I need to lay to rest, but Whatever makes you laugh or smile I guess Monday morning traffic makes me wish That I had never ventured from your kiss You told me that I'm living in a Bedroom powerpop age dream And I think that it's all because of you

Five years to this day I looked across the bay At a deck bathed in green Where the water meets my dream Where the water meets my dream I'm someone out of place Where the sun rises I want to be out east And the light will shine on One fine morning My dream, upstream My dream is upstream So here is a garden for my flower A broken clock that I will set for this hour I wanted nothing less Than you should go to him and say: "I never loved you, but only them" Five years to this day I left the one who counts Death On my face Years passed Waiting for your loving grace Years passed Burning passion Unrequited And now that I've found you

Many people aren't sure how they feel But they feel nonetheless and ardently Then one day you hear a song and it provides What was missing, what you hadn't recognized And as each word washes you in melody So aligned with the precise course of your malady And the layers of sound flow and ebb with an irony That exhume all that arbitrary and unkind There are punk songs for all the moments of my life Sorrows, joys, traumas, loves, broken hearts Shared miseries among friends There's a love song that's built and ruined my life And I'll never be done Chasing unworthy love I'll never be through While there's pain in the world Cause no soul on Earth Deserves to cry alone No one learns what they never investigate There is no peace and love that comes from presumption And of all the golden hearts and rebel fists If you love me at all use your voice and your favorite chords So turn over your rocks and enchant in the millipedes There are thousands of strands each one a worthy story And we'll always be sad until we hear them all Cause we'll always need more commiseration salve There are punk songs for all the moments of my life Sorrows, joys, traumas, loves, broken hearts Shared miseries among friends There's a love song that's built and ruined my life And I'll never be done Chasing unworthy love I'll never be through While there's pain in the world My heart will not mend Until yours enlarges My limbs won't be free Until yours shake in tune I can't end this song Until you sing along I can't end this song Until you sing along I can't end this song Until you sing along I CAN'T END THIS SONG UNTIL YOU SING ALONG Cause no soul anywhere deserves to sing alone Cause harmonies are what make love Cause harmonies are what make love Harmonies are what make love Harmonies are what make love Harmonies are what make love Harmonies are what make love

I've got this troubled way of Staring at your face And seeing who you were Nine years ago The trouble is my eyes No longer understand That you're now someone I could never love And I find it impossible To comprehend That I'm not still your one That I'm not still your only That I was just the first Of many suitors I have no wish to change The way I think of you Or to ever again Receive your love If pressed there is only one Kind of change I'd bring And that is for things Never to have changed But all I can see Is our past through present pains Back when I was your one Back when I was your only A time when we were Very different people If I could see how time Has treated you and I You've grown in all the ways That I've regressed A decade and hardly half a dozen Thoughts of you Condensed and overcome And nullified Effects of just a passing glimpse Of someone who I believed was you But I was so foolish A second glance would prove it wasn't Even anyone resembling you

Accidentally beautiful Is how I remember you Tossing in the night With love in your eyes Unintentionally appealing To my senses I should know better than this Please teach me, your apprentice So squander this affection Mislead for my lesson Just hurt me once Then go away Like an accident a day Accidentally beautiful Your fault for the second time Or is it I can't stay away? Your hands felt right this way Quite intentionally inviting Tickling my leg But your smell is all I know And my misfortune grows So squander my affection Mislead me your intention Once, twice, a third, I know You haunt me to this day Accidentally beautiful Is how I remember you Accidentally beautiful This pain is all I know Accidentally beautiful Is how I remember you Accidentally beautiful This pain is all I know Accidentally beautiful Is how I remember you Accidentally beautiful This pain is all I know Accidentally beautiful

I caught myself talking to myself Like you were listening To each last strand of the thousands more That we never get to saying anyway Cause here's a song and there's a time and When we learned it was was the best I guess I feel safe with you in my head Like you were witnessing I think apologies are just my way Of admitting I'm amazed To have held your smile in a songwriter's bed Unkempt in rhapsody And even if I loose the thread Your heart is still what keeps me coiled Your breath helps me remember All the being of your arms I caught myself talking to myself Like you were listening I caught myself talking to myself Like you were glistening I caught myself talking to myself Like you were Melissa-ing I caught myself talking to myself Like you were in love with me I caught myself talking to myself Like you were in love with me I caught myself talking to myself Like you were in love with me
