Track Name: Her Ghost
sitting at home in my room
using your photo as an ashtray
why? i don't even smoke
something is wrong here
i'm drinking all alone here

she left me a rose
without a note, in the elevator
lord, heaven knows if i can muster the strength to chase her
something is wrong here
i'm drinking all alone here
i forgot what love can feel like
cuz i love a different girl every night

if i could have one more chance
if i could have one more chance with you
if i could have one more chance
if i could have one more dance with you
if i could have one more chance
if i could have one more chance, there's no telling what we could do
just one chance with you

i've been waiting
for someone perfect like you to show on up
and i've been hating all the first-dating
but i can't seem to grow on up
something is wrong here
i'm drinking all alone here
i forgot what love can feel like
cuz i love a different girl every night

if i could have one more chance
if i could have one more chance with you
if i could have one more chance
if i could have one more dance with you

why would i end the best thing i had
i would give everything for you back
you're so close
and your ghost
she sleeps with me

if i could have one more chance with you
if i could have one more chance with you
if i could have one more chance, there's no telling what we could do
just one chance will do
Track Name: Take Care of Me
two hands one heart
two lips where do i start
i've been missing a woman's kissing
forgot love can be an art

cuz most girls rush me and most girls run
most girls vanish with the rising sun
romance is a war i've tried my battle cry
i'm not built for that, i'm not that guy

so take good care of me
cuz i bruise easily
i'm usually scared to sleep
and share my dreaming with another

two bodies one bed
three words we left unsaid
let's not get ahead of tonight

just let me be your rock and your roller
let me be your three am stoner
cuz i'm done being a loner

cuz some girls scratch their names into my skin
leaving marks on my back, to prove where they've been
some girls give their love but don't give a damn
they'll give you their bodies, but they'll never hold your hand

so take good care of me
cuz i bruise easily
i'm usually scared to sleep
and share my dreaming with another

another night in another bed
another fear in my head
yet another night, another night i wish i'd gone home alone

but you know how to hold me
you know what it's like to be lonely
somehow i found i myself when i found myself in your arms

so take good care of me
cuz i bruise easily
i'm usually scared to sleep
and share my dreaming with another
Track Name: Tell Me
why do people hold hands
it seems like they just lead each other to the end
i'll miss you as much as I can
or at least as much as i can pretend
give me a reason to be more than friends
give me a reason, tell me tell me

tell me tell me, are you something special
or are you just a one trick pony, blindly speaking in tongues
forgive me forgive me, for being so judgmental
but you're looking like a 5 minute soulmate that i'd get sick of
tell me tell me, why should i give you my freedom

why do you call me baby
do i look like a little baby boy to you
and i can bathe myself
i never needed help with a little shampoo

you said you're an actor
but you're a heart attacker
you went after my heart
you are an actor playing the wrong part, so tell me

tell me tell me, are you something special
or are you just a one trick pony, blindly speaking in tongues
forgive me forgive me, for being so judgmental
but you're looking like a 5 minute soulmate that i'd get sick of
tell me tell me, why should i give you my freedom

if you know something i don't know
what are you waiting for

tell me tell me, are you something special
or are you just a one trick pony, blindly speaking in tongues
forgive me forgive me, for being so judgmental
but you're looking like a 5 minute soulmate that i'd get sick of
tell me tell me, why should i give you my freedom
Track Name: Fairytale
what'd they do with all the clouds today
there'll be no more rain on this here parade
if i had my little way
the sun would be bright, and i would be right next to you

i kissed an older girl last night
it was my first kiss since the winter
she tasted too much like wine, so i didn't linger
i like to drink, but she is a drinker

cinderella left her stilettos on the subway stairs
rapunzel shaved off all of her golden hair
life in the city ain't no fairy tale
but summer in the city is treating us fairly well
like a fairytale

i've been walking on this concrete treadmill for way too damn long
yeah my legs hurt, but they're getting very strong
if i keep walking, everyone on this old block will know my name
and when they do, i promise you, the summer will last through the spring

all of my jeans all fit the same way
change don't come easy to me
fresh in the seat and torn in the knees
from praying to gods i can't see

cinderella left her stilettos on the subway stairs
rapunzel shaved off all of her golden hair
life in the city ain't no fairy tale
but summer in the city is treating us fairly well

all of the beggars seem to laugh today
laughing as the rich rush by
mr. penthouse is leaving his wife
but lord knows he can't leave a dime

cinderella left her stilettos on the subway stairs
rapunzel shaved off all of her golden hair
life in the city ain't no fairy tale
but summer in the city is treating us fairly well
like a fairytale
Track Name: Good at Goodbye
i told my daddy goodbye
years before my daddy up and died
i held my mamma when she cried
but when he left home, i sighed my last sigh
and went on with my life

cuz im too good at goodbye
too good at goodbye
im too good at goodbye

and what about love, what about romance
girl, when i was a boy i was mr. one-woman-man
but these days, i dont dance that dance
there are too many fears, there have been too many tears
girl you dont stand a chance

cuz im too good at goodbye
too good at goodbye
im too good at goodbye

and i know, oh yes i know
that a sunny day will find me
on this lonely road
yes i know
i can only blame myself
cuz i say goodbye before i say hello

cuz im too good at goodbye
too good at goodbye
im too good at goodbye
