Summer of Love
02:57

Drop by to pick you up around 11:30 AM
I got a lot of other friends, but today is not for them
Where it goes
No one knows
We can buy each other clothes
Down at Plato’s Closet
I had a pick up line, but I lost it
We’ll sit along the shore and hope this summer never ends
It doesn’t matter cuz, I’ll still be here when fall begins
Woah oh oh, woah oh oh this summer of love
Woah oh oh, woah oh oh this summer of love
The music in your car ain’t enough
To express the joy we feel
This summer of love
Went by the Dollar Tree and then to the movies where we
Snuck in all the food we bought
And we’re never getting caught
Every day
Wanna say
You’re the only one for me
Let’s go to a rock show
Local bands at a friend’s gazebo
I’ll walk you home and then I’ll say goodnight at your front door
We’ll reminisce about how much we both miss the Warped Tour
Woah oh oh, woah oh oh this summer of love
Woah oh oh, woah oh oh this summer of love
The music in your car ain’t enough
To express the joy we feel
This summer of love
Ahh ahh ahh ahh, summer of love
Ahh ahh ahh ahh, summer of love
Woah oh oh, woah oh oh this summer of love
Woah oh oh, woah oh oh this summer of love
The music in your car ain’t enough
To express the joy we feel
This summer of love

T-Shirt Junkie
00:52
|

I check my closet for something to wear
But there’s way too many different t-shirts in there
Ninja Turtles, PEZ Dispensers
New Found Glory and Mario Brothers
Back to the Future and Dragon Quest
It’s time I shut up and just get dressed
T-shirt Junkie, that’s what you get
When you’re a total shopping addict
T-shirt Junkie, there’s no other way
I just don’t know what I’m gonna wear today
Cuz I’m a t-shirt junkie

Hangin’ out on the set of a John Hughes film
Hangin' out in his fictitious idealized realm
Savage Steve, Spielberg too
Dancing all night in Footloose
Kevin Bacon could be my best friend
Until the end
I wanna be, in an 80s movie
Cast me back in time to be a star
I wanna be, in an 80s movie
Watch me on your VCR
Shopping at the record store with Duckie
The girl he loves is gonna be there HEY if we’re lucky
Leather coats, big hair-dos
High waist jeans and checkered shoes
John Cusack has eyes for just one girl
Oh she’s his world
I wanna be, in an 80s movie
Cast me back in time to ‘86
I wanna be, in an 80s movie
Skipping school with Matthew Broderick
We're playing sick
I wanna be
(I wanna be)
I wanna be in an 80s movie
(I wanna be, I wanna be)
I wanna be in an 80s movie
(I wanna be, I wanna be)
I wanna be in an 80s movie
I wanna be in an 80s movie

Don't take my Weezer ticket
It cost me a lot to get it
Don't take my Weezer ticket away
Don't take my Green Day ticket
I was gonna dance in the mosh pit
I wish that you would go away
I've gotta keep at least one eye open while sleeping
I check my window and I see you out there creeping
(YOU CREEP!!!)
Don't take my Fall Out Boy ticket
I kinda like them, I admit it
Mainly just the record with "Saturday"
Don't take my Weezer ticket
Don't take my Weezer ticket
Don't take my Weezer ticket away

Brews Kombucha

Baseball tees and black rimmed glasses
My heart sinks anytime she passes
Walkin' into town on a Saturday again
Well I'm a garage sale boy in a farmer's market world
A straight up nerd and she's a marvel of a girl
She works at Sprouts but she's off on the weekends
No high fructose corn syrup
Organic roasters wakes her up
So health conscious, I wanna be the same
Headed out to the health food mart
I never ate too healthy but now's the time to start
You ask her name, but what's it to ya?
Oh yeah, she brews kombucha
Less than 0.5 ABV
She always keeps it gluten free
And I think I'd do anything for her
Now I wanna buy a dozen crates
Support her indie micro brew all across the states
I didn't know there was a flavor called "lavender"
How do ya know that I'm obsessed?
I'm chewin' xylitol gum and checkin' my breath
I hope she takes the time to know me
While she's fermenting scoby
Headed out to the health food mart
I never ate too healthy but now's the time to start
You ask her name, but what's it to ya?
Oh yeah, she brews kombucha
Headed out to the health food mart
I never ate too healthy but now's the time to start
You ask her name, but what's it to ya?
Oh yeah, she brews kombucha
She brews kombucha
She brews kombucha
Woah oh oh
Yodelayheehoo

It was just a summer's eve
And everyone wanted to watch the sunset
The lifeguard said we should leave
But then we saw something we'll never forget
Down from the stars
Straight from Mars
They parked their UFOs right on top of our cars
And now
We can't believe our eyes
So pack your bags
We're headed out to LA
No time to escape
When Mars attacks
What can you do
What can you do
What can you do?
Invasion! Invasion! Invasion on Clearwater Beach
Invasion! Invasion! Invasion in Clearwater Beach
Don't go out after nightfall
They'll steal your towel and they'll steal your beach ball
Invasion! Invasion! Invasion on Clearwater Beach
Everybody was runnin' around
Lasers shot down to the ground
Bodybuilders acting tough
Until they saw a martian twice as buff
Ice cream dropped
Gotta be stopped
No time left to stand there shocked
And now
Your girl just lost a flip flop
So watch your backs
We'll take shelter right here
Under the pier
When Mars Attacks
Whan can we do?
What can we do?
What can we do?
Invasion! Invasion! Invasion on Clearwater Beach
Invasion! Invasion! Invasion in Clearwater Beach
Don't go out after nightfall
They'll steal your towel and they'll steal your beach ball
Invasion! Invasion! Invasion on Clearwater Beach

I gave her my heart
But I was such an eyesore
Do you know what she did?
She took it to the thrift store
Dropped it off in the bargain bin
Said she doesn’t wanna see it again
Didn’t even try to pawn it off for extra cash
And she just laughed
She took it to the thrift store
Now it’s a dollar and out on the sales floor
Took it to the thrift store
And now I just wish I could get it back the way it was before
I got in my car
And headed for Goodwill
Gonna buy back my heart
Fingers crossed it’s there still
Ran inside with cash in hand
Laughing like a kid at Disney Land
Didn’t even stop to look at all those dumb CDs
Or DVDs
She took it to the thrift store
Now it’s a dollar and out on the sales floor
Took it to the thrift store
And now I just wish I could get it back the way it was before

Nano Full of Love Songs
02:12
|

The first time that I saw you there in the hall
I knew I had to find a way I could call you my own
But I never knew how I could express
When my words come out it’s a mess
(G-Am-C-D)
So I went by Super Target
And I bought these earbuds they were blue
Then I went by the flea market
And I found an oldschool iPod Nano for you
(C-D-G-D)
Got a Nano full of love songs
I hope these tunes will never be erased
Got a Nano full of love songs
Til it auto-syncs and they all get replaced
(G-C-D)
(G-C-D-C)
She likes The All-American Rejects
I’d like to know exactly what will happen next
She likes emo bands from 2005
She says she thinks that Myspace should be revived
So I went down to Hot Topic
And I bought some hair dye, it was blue
And I told my heart to stop it
But I still made this sappy playlist for you
Got a Nano full of love songs
I hope these tunes will never be erased
Got a Nano full of love songs
Til it auto-syncs and they all get replaced
If you want to know how I feel
Scroll through this playlist using the click-wheel
If you want to know how I feel
Scroll through this playlist using the click-wheel

Five O'Clock Sky
02:20

We’ve been waiting all week for this moment
We’ve been waiting all week just to break from these chains
While we spend our lives seeking atonement
From the struggles inside us that always remain
We’re to blame
Will you take the time that you have free?
To be all that you can be
To treat others as good as yourself
Without giving up on your dreams
While I’m watching the sun strike the city
As the light fades away in the 5:00 sky
For a moment the world seems pretty
Holding out for the future while just getting by
We still try
Will you take the time that you have free?
To be all that you can be
To treat others as good as yourself
Without giving up on your dreams
Do it all again
Make the cash and spend
Reach for the hopes of tomorrow
And never let them, never let them go
Will you take the time that you have free?
To be all that you can be
To treat others as good as yourself
Without giving up on your dreams
On your dreams

Waiting by the Starbucks with my Peach Tea Lemonade
Feelin’ kinda cool chillin’ under the umbrella shade
That’s when I saw her through my jet black Zenni frames
I crossed my fingers that she wouldn’t give me any games
All summer long, we went to shows
Barbecues and Trader Joe’s
All summer long, she stuck around
Hangin’ out in this one horse town
I wonder wonder where’d ya go
I wonder will I ever know?
Will I see you around, will I be seeing you at all?
At the beachside outdoor outlet mall
Walkin’ down the sidewalk with a blue sky over me
Wonderin’ if I’m gonna feel this way for eternity
Got me brokenhearted on a beautiful day
Looking to the future, gettin’ lost along the way
All that I know, the sun will shine
Time will heal and I’ll be fine
Spring turns to summer time again
Flowers bloom, let the good times in
I wonder wonder where’d ya go
I wonder will I ever know?
Will I see you around, will I be seeing you at all?
At the beachside outdoor outlet mall
Oh how I wish that you were here
With summer comin’ up, it’s almost been a year
I wonder wonder where’d ya go
I wonder will I ever know?
Will I see you around, will I be seeing you at all?
At the beachside outdoor outlet mall
