Nick Lesson Alright so Live Alone was tight but this gets even deeper into the storytelling aspect, its like a conversation but I don't need to say anything in response, just lean back and let the County tell me how shit is. Favorite track: Sometimes I Doubt My Commitment to the DIY Scene.

Tumblr 03:11
Remember when we'd hang with out friends every day? Plans were hardly made, no Sunday brunch no wine wednesdays Get off the phone, I just got Brenna's screen name Panic at the disco was always my away Hers was fall out boy we were one in the same But these ain't the salad days My mother's gotten over me And Vic asked if you're my girlfriend Well pop punk's cool again so I'll try that for a couple lines I guess I feel like Mr. Brightside It was only a kiss Now I'm fuckin up this friendship Cause I'm always wanting more, So imperialistic, so infuriating I get it now, I'm a cliche of myself I'm a tumblr post that your 16-year-old self teblogged before you knew what it was like to fall in love I'm not special, I ain't nothin new If god is real I'd like to have a chat On my crushing doubt and my crooked back And we'll have a drink, and it'll be on him It'll be on him

Alone 01:51
I almost burned my house down last night Killin everybody inside That's the day I stopped being so anxious Internet wasn't a lie, but I had to stop taking Those pills that put me down for the night I had a problem The cigarette was totally ash when I saw it in the morning I tried so hard to cry but I just laughed And the ashes just sighed Everybody thinks I'm lonely But I only want their pity Look at me, I'm sad, I'm broken badly

Can I come around September? You said "yes yes a thousand times yes" You'd leave the key under the mat Beaming with pride I told all my friends And I still don't understand why you don't care like you used to And I will never try to get you to care like you used to I coulda been with my best friend Yeah she don't kiss me much But she tells me that she loves me And I don't know if that's enough And her friend has got a man I wonder if she thinks about them When she's alone and her friend is happy I wonder if she thinks about me I wanna spend every day with her in my periphery Drawing a picture of whatever shit she's into that day I wanna spend every day with her in my periphery Drawing a picture of whatever shit she's into that day

Libertine 02:25
I'm freakin out like Incandenza You're pretty cute, but your friend is better My eyes are low and my room is messy But I'm cold love like a Christmas wedding You were depressed for a week When you left Albany And it all comes together in a song you sing And I know the words don't mean a thing I called your phone, it goes straight to voicemail I never knew you were cruel But I got a friend that lets me drink on spec now I've got hobbies that aren't you We were just drunk libertines But you took it slow with me And I loved you then more than I could see And I know it don't mean a thing I wrote lullabies for our future children Then you miscarried my sown seedsh

Election 03:12
What are you doing? It's the election Who you picking? Them or me? What am I doing? I'm not voting This damn election has made me a priest You're the third party of my past and nobody They say you couldn't be worth it, I know you do not deserve this And I'm only having sex on my phone Cause while I do want you, I want to be alone And I'm scared, scared of your eyes Because they'll convince me to go out tonight And I don't wanna leave my apartment We can sit on your porch and we'll go to my show And I'm playin so drunk as if I were at home But it's just cause I'm nervous that you'll hate my songs That you'll leave when I tell you all that I've done wrong And my voice it is wavering, you smile and I'm shaking Later I'll feel your leg on my hip when Doug plays He is gutting my stomach Swanny luv, that one does it And I hate the mornings, but he's changing my feelings And you sit, changing them too I would set my alarm just to wake up with you And you lay, perfect and blue I would go to the booth to cast my vote for you My vote's for you

Quotes 02:33
Every morning I wake up with a caffeine drip that fucks my mind, but I make it to work on time And I'm alright by 5 And every night I get lit up with a champagne beer that sets me free and a couple shots of whiskey And I'm alright by 3 My friends are here, they're all around me They say "hey man" and wave, but sometimes I can't see them And that's on me But I love them I know they love me And I'd ditch em right away if a little birdie walked my way, I ain't got no heart But Dan has got a home And I'm still chasing soul And I never was alone That's just a white lie that I told To make myself feel better for feeling like shit And I'm still not over it And my friends have gotta stop letting me get away with it
