Playground

When I look back on what I once imagined
I start to feel dumb and wonder what happened
I once saw the world as a lolly jolly playground
Instead of hiding out of fear, we hid so we could be found
(Chorus)
People I've never spoken to
Come up and say I love you
I never feel unhappy
Coz there is nothing saddening
My friends are the best
And my life feels fresh
And if I could stay
Well, that would be great
When there's an old friend that peace has forgotten
Who walks right by me, I can't help feeling shocked when
I can't see the child that I know is deep inside
They've closed themselves off, coz they once were open wide
(Chorus)

10th Anniversary

I threw affection to the bin
But didn't account for the wind
The paper cloth completely missed
Aw man, I didn't ask for this
I threw affection to the bin
I threw your love out of my home
I guess I needed time alone
There's something that I could've shown
But I don't think you would've known
I was just telling a joke
But you're the only one that I could ever hold
And now I need you, though I left you months ago
There's a brand new light that just might guide me
One day you won't ever find me
I'll be right where you wish you could be
You told me that I looked real nice
I smiled and took your advice
I quickly grew to super size
Now there's more of me to like
What was I doing there last night?
I told you that you were a God
Or maybe that's just what I thought
I get in trouble when I talk
Wish I could tell you what I want
Then maybe you wouldn't be gone
Coz you're the only one that I could ever hold
And now I need you, though you already said no
There's a million ways to say I'm sorry
But I just do it for your body
When it's over, I can see you smile
But I don't return the gesture

I've never met somebody who could hold me
Every night until the morning without making me feel lonely
I've never met a person quite like you
Oh well, I guess you'll have to do
I've never met, someone who shines above me
Like the sunlight through the window, who could tell me that they love me
I never found the words to say I love you too
Oh well, I guess you'll have to do
(Chorus)
You're another pretty face
In a big old human race
With a heart to match your smile
If you step out of the crowd
And come meet me on my cloud
I swear I'll make it worth your while
I never thought that I couldn't be hateful
But the first time that I saw you, all that I could be was grateful
You came right up to me and plucked me from the blue
Oh well, I guess you'll have to do
(Chorus)
I've never met someone who makes me feel like
I'm a normal human being, and something about that feels right
I never thought, I guess I never think things through
Oh well, I guess you'll have to do

Vacation

(Chorus)
It wouldn't be a vacation if I didn't miss somebody back at home
It wouldn't be a vacation if I didn't feel like I was all alone
But I always feel alone
When I am not at home
I don't want you to know
That I'm lonely
It wouldn't be a vacation in the sun
Without missing everyone
Who doesn't care that you're not there
It wouldn't be a vacation all year long
Without feeling something's wrong
With the paradise you found
But when you call me and tell me about your newfound friends
It's hard to think about ever coming home again
(Chorus)
It wouldn't be a vacation without you
So where have you gone to?
I think I lost you on the way
It wouldn't be a vacation without love
So who are you thinking of?
I have a feeling it's not me
You never said you'd forget me the second that I left
Why do I pay every time I try to catch my breath?
(Chorus)
So I guess you always will

Jealousy
Your new boy is taller than me
And I don't want to care, you see
But I'm self-conscious about my height
Jealousy
I thought I'd be okay when you leave
But what I feel is buried deep
Underneath my skin, but I look alright
(Chorus)
But I always do this
Every time I see my love move on
Gotta smile and act like nothing's wrong
Jealousy
You finally set yourself free
You finally flew away from me
Just to be captured by someone else
Jealousy
I'm making you sound like a beast
But the only monster here is me
If you won't kill him, I'll do it myself
(Chorus)
But I always do this
You know, I always do this
Why do I always do this?
Every time I see my love move on
Gotta smile and act like nothing's wrong

I thought you had a brother
Who you treated like a lover
But you just wanted to feel loved
I thought you had a daddy
Who you were driving batty
But you just wanted to feel loved
You have so many friends
And I see them again and again
You're with everyone from Bobby to Jenn
What's going on?
I thought you had a buddy
Who made you feel funny
But you just wanted to feel loved
I thought you had a teacher
Who walked with you on the beach uhhhhhh
But you just wanted to feel loved
Night after night and day after day
I find you loving away
And after all of that don't you need a break?
Just settle down
I thought I saw you hurry
To the guy who sold you curry
But you just wanted to feel loved
I thought you got some tushie
From the guy who sold you sushi
But you just wanted to feel loved
