doug m. There's no way that a song that starts out with describing a night out at a karaoke bar should wind up as the song stuck in your head for the rest of the week, but that's exactly what "Last You Heard of Me" does. "Fake ID" has an equally memorable/infectious opening couplet. The number of hooks this album packs into its short running time should be illegal, but thankfully it's not, or we wouldn't be listening to this right now. Favorite track: Last You Heard Of Me.

Fake I.D. 02:20
Tell me what more could she wanna be? A super hot friend with a fake id? She takes off her clothes and hands them to but what she did next I could not believe! Don’t be fooled. The first two hours ruled, but then she seduced herself out of the room singing “what do you think about kanye west? I think that he’s great I think he’s the best. I think he’s better than John Steinbeck and I think he’s better than Phil Hartman. Don’t you agree? Can’t you see it just like me? The man can do things the rest of us could only dream of baby.” Tell me what more could you want to see? Try to calm down and leave it to me. Freight Elevator now we’re really rockin! Breakin’ my heart going window shopping! But don’t be shy, because my friend Brandon died. And I feel sad, I miss him he was rad.

Eighteen 02:05
Doesn’t it feel good to take off you t-shirt and let somebody feel ya? Somebody steal ya? You can’t get behind what you can’t even find. It’s getting harder to deal with. It’s nothing to fear. Easy for you to say. Doesn’t it feel bad? Things that you can’t have. Even when you would meet her wearing a t-shirt. You can’t be defined by what you’re keeping inside. Might push you into the lime-light. Just give it a try! Still don’t believe in yourself at eighteen, life is a bad dream, but then you wake up and things are different for you. It seems so simple when you step back and view it. Just find something to do and then do it. Everybody gets a little lonely sometimes. I get so tongue tied. I feel so old today.

I wanna go together. Together like a barking dog with you. Cause I stayed home all day afraid to live my life. Maybe tomorrow I’ll wanna do something else. Cause I’ll be feeling better. Much better in the half-lit moon with you. I don’t know what to say. To say to save my life. Waiting to follow. I can’t control myself like old times fading away from me, angel in the snow. How come nothing amazes me? I don’t know. And then it’s gone forever. Burned up in a fireball. The glue has melted all away. The world just falls apart. Pain leads to sorrow. And sorrow leads me back to hell like old times fading away from me, angel in the snow. How come nothing amazes me? I don’t know. It must be something out of nothing makes you think you’re in a nightclub, paying seven dollars for a plastic cup of vodka. Doesn’t make a difference doesn’t make it wrong or right you’ve gotta stay this way forever until it makes you want to die you needed something out of nothing.

Do you really want to not get better? Could you see me in your life? Could you try? Even after you’ve been gone for an actual endless amount of time. Would you even know? Could you see me in your life? Could you try?

Found myself down at The Alibi for the second time this year. Wrote my song down, gave it to the guy, then went to grab another beer. Sonia’s going to the parking lot. Probably gonna smoke some weed. I’d go with but I don’t touch the stuff unless I wanna go to sleep. You step outside to have a cigarette. Smokers crowd into the street. Digging through your purse for matches when for a second our eyes meet. And in the moment I see everything. Start to finish sad defeat. Shivering lying naked next to you. And that’s the last you heard of me

Make Me Dumb 02:47
No demand. No california. No one to find and bore you to tears. It took me years. No decay. No “stay the same to some” No “I’ll show you! Sure!” You make me dumb. As dumb as a fucking piece of chalk on the summer sidewalk. In the summer sun. When you were young. You make me dumb. Saw a man. I saw a mountain. Want you around the fountain for real. It’s no big deal. How to change your name and still get paid. Just wait, it’s great, you make me paint my fucked up feelings for everyone on the summer sidewalk. In the summer sun. When you were young. You make me dumb.

Over before it began. Some of them we’re friends I guess and others I guess they were fans. Some of them were strangers some of the were part of the plan. They were all the same they were over before they began. Closer. As close as you can. Closer than the clothes you were wearing it’s closer than we understand. Closer than a cousin, Closer than a woman and man. Closer than the closest thing but still over before it began. Even though I have always loved you it was over before it began.
8.
People used to tell me that I could buy and sell me. There’s no such thing as luck. Well hey, okay. Then how do you explain? How things have changed so much? In the autumn leaves high on LSD here comes the campus security to take that away from me. I wanna see for myself. I wanna see what it means. But I can’t cause i’m stuck in a reversing machine.

Stairs 04:02
So you just stand there with a dollar at your feet. And you wait as I retreat to go get mine. And when I get back you’re still waiting silently cause my mother’s fast asleep right next door. Yeah, I’m 26 and I still live with my parents. Oh I can’t do laundry. Christ I can’t do dishes. What’ll I do without you? When your body fails you? When nobody loves you? All they do is miss you but they don’t even care. So be careful when you run down stairs. Be careful who you talk to. Or the wonderful way you walk. You are like a magnet for all evil cause there is so much good inside you. I wish that I could hide you someplace no one could hurt you. Where nobody could change you. I’ll lock you in my room. And I’ll tie you to the sheets. Cause I could watch you sleep for weeks. Oh the things you’d never see. If it were up to me.
10.
I wrote this one for you. Cause that’s all I could do. Sad but it’s all true, so I guess it’ll have to do. Entrust the broken wing a bird that doesn’t sing. Useless/Not unused. Some other cover coming through. Just wanna sleep away the hour. Blinded by the light. This song is a mess but so am I. Beneath the soda stream. Where you begin to dream. When you said “nothing’s new” made fucking zero sense from you
