Sorry, but it’s been a while
Since anyone has seen that smile
Did I do that?
Did I do that?
Sunlight breaking through the blinds
Our breathing starts to sync this time
Can we do that?
Can we do that
Thing we never thought would be an option?
A simple try at trying again to
Be just you and me for a while at least
Sorry but I never dreamed
I’d wake up back in this scene
Did I do that?
Did I do that?
An angel like I haven’t know
Since April stole my only home
Can we do that?
Can we do that
Thing I swore would never be an option
A simple try at trying for once to
Be just you and me for a while at least
Ain’t it always this way at the start?
Perfect moments right before we fall
Jon: But I don’t care.
Emma: I don’t care
Both: if it’s meant to die
Jon: Do I dare?
Emma: Do I dare
Both: get a second night?
Don’t even say a thing now, Jon
No words to complicate this dawn
Can you do that?
Can we do that?
Thing I thought could never be an option
A simple thought of saying we want to
Be just you and me for a while at least

New York isn't New York
Without you, love
So far in a few blocks
To be so low
And if I call you from First Avenue
Where you're the only motherfucker in the city
Who can handle me
New love
Wasn't true love
Back to you, love
So much for a home run
With some blue bloods
If I last-strawed you on 8th Avenue
Where you're the only motherfucker in the city
Who can stand me
I have lost a hero
I have lost a friend
But for you, darling
I'd do it all again
I have lost a hero
I have lost a friend
But for you, darling
I'd do it all again
New York isn't New York
Without you, love
Too few of our old crew
Left on Astor
So if I trade our 'hood
For some Hollywood
Where you're the only motherfucker in the city who would
Only motherfucker in the city who would
Only motherfucker in the city who'd forgive me
I have lost a hero
I have lost a friend
But for you, darling
I'd do it all again
I have lost a hero
I have lost a friend
But for you, darling
I'd do it all again

We clawed, we chained our hearts in vain
We jumped never asking why
We kissed, I fell under your spell.
A love no one could deny
Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can't live a lie, running for my life
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
I put you high up in the sky
And now, you're not coming down
It slowly turned, you let me burn
And now, we're ashes on the ground
Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can't live a lie, running for my life
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crashing in a blazing fall
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
And instead of using force
I guess I should've let you win
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
I guess I should've let you win
Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crashing in a blazing fall
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me

PA turnpike, northbound on a dark night
Driving into Scranton for a difficult occasion
When you first got your license we were nowhere to be found
I was just a little kid back then but you let me hang around
But we're older now
Farewell youth, I'm afraid I hardly got to know you
I was always hanging out with the older kids
Always in a rush, but I was never sure from what
I was always hanging out with the older kids
The grief starts when bumping into friends turned acquaintances
We stumble around the small talk
We break the silence with Jameson
But once we were inseparable
We were the only punks in town
We spent every weekend raisin' hell in the basement of your parents house
But we're older now
Farewell youth, I'm afraid I hardly got to know you
I was always hanging out with the older kids
Always in a rush, but I was never sure from what
I was always hanging out with the older kids
In someone's apartment, getting fucked up
To all our favorite records, drinking the cheap stuff
We couldn't get enough of growing up
I saw my childhood flash before me in the death of your closed eyes
At your Irish wake we celebrate by trying not to cry
Farewell youth, I'm afraid I hardly got to know you
I was always hanging out with the older kids
Always in a rush, but I was never sure from what
I was always hanging out with the older kids
Farewell youth
Farewell youth
Farewell youth, I'm afraid I hardly got to know you
Farewell youth
Farewell youth
Farewell youth, I'm afraid I hardly got to know you
Because I was always hanging out with the older kids

I felt for sure last night
That once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me
I'm still driving away
And I'm sorry every day
I won't always love these selfish things
I won't always live...
Not stopping...
It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me, only you
You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
Amazing still it seems
I'll be 23
I won't always love what I'll never have
I won't always live in my regrets
You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine...

An acoustic compilation of covers recorded during the great California Coronavirus Quarantine of 2020 along with a new song recorded before all this madness set in. Featuring covers of songs by St. Vincent, Miley Cyrus, The Menzingers, and Jimmy Eat World.
