Parking Lots

We empty bottles in a parking lot
Alone again with all our thoughts
Do we ever know who we really are
I turn the dial and we hit the road
Miles spent with nowhere to go
Will this, will this ever feel like home
Set fire to the nights we drank alone
Regrets aside let's take the long way home
It's alright if we don't really know
What we want out of life
Drive it fast cause you know we don't have much time
Drink it down cause it could be our last night
Do what we can so that we feel alive
Whoever thought we could get this far
On cigarettes and beat up old guitars
Now we know who we really are

Disaster + Dive Bar

You make me break for goodness sake,
You don't know the way, you don't know the way
You catch my eye and and you make me shake
and unsure of just what to say
I know that you don't mean it
When you distract my mind
And make me question everything
I've been watching from across the room
And I don't care what I gotta do
I'll talk all night, lose my head
Just to make it out of here with you
So take another spin around the jukebox dial
You know it couldn't hurt if you stayed a while
Cause' you're the only girl worth a damn in this dive tonight
You make me break for goodness sake
You don't know the way, you don't know the way
You hold me up and and you make me shake
Tie me up in the games you play
I wonder if you mean it
When your distract my mind
And make me question everything
I've been watching from across the room
And I'll do anything I gotta do
I'll talk all night, lose my head
Just to make it out of here with you
Let's take another spin around the jukebox dial
You know it couldn't hurt if you stayed a while
Cause' you're the only girl worth a damn in this dive tonight
Maybe my expectations have escalated to a whole new low
Maybe too low for me to go
This situation has drawn me to something that I never want to know
I think I'm tired and letting it show
I've been watching from across the room
I think I've been warned about girls like you
You tie my hands behind my back
With everything you say and do
I'm spending all my money on the jukebox dial
Placing all my bets on bittersweet denial
I'll hitch a ride and sleep this one off tonight
You're not worth a damn in this dive tonight

I never meant to hurt you again
You know I try with the best of intentions
I lose sight from lies invented in my head
Can't fall short in the race I started
Or leave so cold and broken hearted
Can't build this home with paper walls
I wanna live the life we dreamed of
It doesn't seem that way right now
But I would never let you down
I only say this cause I mean it
I gotta call it how I see it
I don't wanna talk about it now
I never meant to hurt you again
But this burns like a match inside of my head
I can't forget a promise to myself or to my friends
I know it's not easy to read my clearly
It might seem like i'm wasting time
Although I may not alway show it
You're always on my mind
I can't live a bitter half life
It's harder than you know
I can't let go

The Death of Rock & Roll
03:41

I'm not trying to change the world, it's just one man's perspective
I thought the whole idea was for this to be subjective
But it's a material market, a puppet on its strings
I'm not a cynical guy, just a product of my surroundings
I've never apologized for anything I've said
I'll never live it down if I let it get to my head
So I watch what they put on my TV
Don't know how this ever came to be
But I know that this is the death of Rock n' Roll
I'm not trying to change the world; maybe just redirect it
I'm not trying to change this scene, but It's become a little disconnected
Maybe I'll try to stand out for a while, be a little more sublime
Or maybe tt's like Brian said, I wasn't made for these times
I'll never apologize for anything I've said
I'll never live it down cause' I won't let it get to my head
So I watch what they put on my TV
Don't know how this ever came to be
But I know that this is the death of Rock n' Roll
The slaves to the FM dial will sing
Along with the demise it'll bring
It's out of control, this is the death of Rock n' Roll
The late night talk show hosts agree
It's the next big thing, it's not for me
Now I know this is the death of Rock n' Roll
Yeah I know, this is the death of Rock n' Roll
It's lost it's soul, this is the death of Rock n' Roll
So I'm staying home, this is the death of Rock n' Roll
