I Remember Garfield

learned my english
by watching tv
white faces were all
i really could see
my mothers yelling
yelling 'oh were could she be?'
's she here there now?
or she far away from me?
and i was reading Garfield
in the back of a library isle
and Davey was playing baseball with my dad
we're lucky children
with our visas
we're dancing brown beans
thats how they see us
i heard that success
is a u.s. concept
well i am living just right above it
and I was reading Garfield
in the back of a library isle
and Davey was eating gogurt
and it was tucked away in a border ride
with a strawberry smile
and Dad was playing baseball by himself
oh and i will wait for you and mcdonalds at mcdonalds
oh and i will wait for at a subway at subway
oh i will wait for you in the u.s.a
they'll ask us if we got fruit seeds with us
or cousins in the back up the pickup
although we can try
to be ambitious
we'll lack the right and
we'll always hiccup
still i remember Garfield
in the back of a library isle
and Davey was playing xbox
with his hand tucked away in a cereal box for a spongebob prize
and dad was eating baseballs by himself
oh and i will wait for you at mcdonalds at mcdonalds
oh and i will wait for you at wells fargo at wells fargo
oh and i will wait for you at a subway at a subway
oh and i will wait for you in the u.s.a
ahhhh

shes okay
she feels good
she eats her bowl of rice
and a plate of vegetables
she looks good
she feels good
she says hello goodbye
i know its dumb to sing about the little things like saying hello but i'm learning of these stupid things that i didnt know
shes okay
she feels good
she cuts back on the wine
and the cheese and eggs and fries
she looks good
she feels good
she looks you in the eye
she'll be okay
she will feel good
she may even feel alright
and if the pills are good
then she'll feel good
you just gotta give her time
i know its easy to look into peoples eyes
but mine were at the floor
and i promise i wont be such an anxious mess
by the time i'm 34
shes okay
she feels good
shes taking her pills twice
in the day and in the night
she looks good
she feels good
she looks you in the eye
she'll be okay
she will feel good
she may even feel alright
and if the pills are good
then she'll feel good
you just gotta give her time

don’t think cause i told you maybe
that i wouldn’t spend my stupid life with you
i don’t have much to do anyway
so this is what i’m choosing to do
to spend my life counting all the ‘babys’
collecting them in a jelly jar
so i can listen to them since you’re far away
or just in case i’m out of chocolate bars
don’t think that i wouldn’t take the chance
to live with you i thought about it too
its just that lifes /been so /dark before
i couldn’t think a good thing to be true
so yes lets go to a forest far away
i’ll watch you play your games by your side
and you’ll have your guitar and i’ll have mine
i’ll cook you chicken tenders all the time
and we don’t know how computers even work
so it feels like magic when you call me up
how can we communicate through the dirt?
a country girl and a city slug
and we’re two clowns making it despite the
prejudice that is always about
we laugh it up and then we have our nightly smoke
i know that this is good i have no doubt
if you ask me to drop out i will do it
but you just gotta ask me enough
i gotta say you make it all so moonlit
don’t think that it would even take too much
so yes lets go to a forest far away
we can run around or go inside
and you’ll have your guitar and i’ll have mine
i’ll cook you chicken tenders all the time
i’ll cook you chicken tenders all the time
i’ll cook you chicken tenders all the time
she’s so lovable and i
gotta say it
i love her too
she refines and dyes my life
i thank her too
she makes me go so fast and i
will run to her house

Chicken Nuggets

you need a warm bath and you need your house keys
you need your life to be right where it should be
and we go on about our home remedies
this is how i’ll keep you at bay and at ease
and in your darkest hour
i will pick you right up
you just gotta give me the okay
and instead of it being some celebrity
it’ll be a future me
i know it will be such a long winding trip
like buttons changing you will always lose it
don’t take a hard drink not even a small sip
a healthy way to cope is a double knit
it’s a one sided chicken nugget
burnt to a crisp
and the other side raw
and the other side seems to be
always on a flip
thats how we stay in aw
looking around as you fall
i’ll give you presents and your favorite iced tea
we’ll put that funny show you love on t.v
and then we’ll laugh about how wrong we can be
and we’ll get rid of your co-dependency
and know when you feel tired
you fit snuggly on my back
c’mon lets hit the sack
i know that you feel really high
you’ll have dreams tonight
of the great farm in the sky
or of a green apple pie

when she tells me c'mere
does she really think so?
i know i'm impulsive
but really romantic though
and she opens up at times
in spring growing her clementines
so uniquely
hmm
i love it all
ooh, ooh
but there is always a little tought
'bout fillin' tomorrow
should i really think of it at all?
my lifes like an arrow
and to point is really hard
but i'm aiming hard at her yard
sorry if i'm
hmm
scared at the start
ooh, ooh
when i really think about it though
theres no book to follow
to think that i have choice at all
its a pill to swallow
and its a pill i take at times
in spring her growing her clementines
and i'll be sweet
hmm
just how she likes
ooh, ooh

i don't get your romantic preference
i don't get it at all
maybe i'm just an old fashioned man and i wanna get to you
sometimes i wish i could've played along just to be with you
a day just wasn't enough i wanted to get to know you more
but i don't get your romantic preference i don't get it all
i'm not possessive i'm just dedicated to you
and i know i hurt you i promise i didn't mean to
i just loved the idea of being with you even if you didn't belong to me
i dont think its wrong
its you
you
is the one that i want to myself
but its you
its who you are
i know its just who you are
i still think you're a beautiful soul
and i hope you change one day
its selfish i know
but i guess
i'm just selfish
