Gauge Means Nothing in the Car

作词 : William Gibbons

作曲 : William Gibbons

June came a little too early,

and summer ended a little too late

and now I’m gonna be behind on work

I miss the east coast humidity

I never thought I’d say those words,

but I guess I got a lot of reading done

Hey I really loved War and Peace,

but will I feel the same in 15 years, I don’t know

Time passed a little too slowly,

but it’s only because I know I’m stuck

It took some time but Rosie’s been nicer,

I guess my attitude was just bad

Hey mom are you thinking about us?

Don’t worry, I know you needed a break,

Oh please just don’t forget we’re here,

It might be what we want some day

We listened to screamo on the way to the airport,

you said it sucks but maybe you could like it?

Hey mom, you could start a band,

or at least try karaoke?

Oh god wasn’t the sky so beautiful

I could have cried if I wasn’t so embarrassed

Looking at a picture,

we used to live somewhere that nice

Just throw my name away, I’m going somewhere better

Or at least somewhere that no one cares

Picture someone driving up a mountain away

from a place they hate

Or so I tell myself, you know I’m not that cool

Did I have dreams anyways?

And if not is that so bad?

Isn’t it enough just to want to live?

And I’ll forgive almost anything

but it doesn’t mean I’m just another hand to help out

But the sky is clear today

and I’ve got to do laundry

We were at the store and I could feel people judge us,

I was a little loud but maybe I’m just sensitive

But lately I’ve been going out at 6,

buying spinach even if I don’t eat it

You know it’s just a start

It’s all about building good habits

The other day when I was running around the lake,

I met someone and she said that she used to play drums

I was in your room listening to your music,

I guess I lied when I said I hated it

Sometimes I guess I want to scream too

And I got older but there are still things I’d like to do

The sun rays at 9:00 only make me feel slightly less bad

Quitting my job and sending you away, was it too much this time?

Oh god, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,

I just don’t know how I’m supposed to live

So I got older, but why am I still so stupid?

It’s like I can’t see my own face, when I think about it

I just wanted a little more time,

but I can’t seem to take care of myself

without hurting someone else

When you were young and we lived in California

Your dad would come around but I never really told you

That piece of shit never tried to raise you

but he’d come around and just tell me I was doing it all wrong

What did I lose this time?

I never see cars before I’m already hit

I always lived like I was running to the finish line

not to die but just to live differently

And it seems I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,

I ****ed it up again,

and just to give myself a chance

So I got older, I was always waiting

For a chance to have a break, and figure out what I wanted

I don’t care how brittle my bones get

I’m still here, judge me if you want to,

I’ll keep telling myself I don’t care

We all get older,

it seems I missed 20 years as a young adult,

but is it too late?

I’m still here and I’ve got my dreams

buried as they are by years of part time;

so I can’t be famous… Who said that was the point?

Forget my name and forget my face,

I don’t wanna be remembered

Forget my name, and forget my face, I wanna start over

(I want to be no one, but I don’t wanna disappear, I want to be no one at all)

I wanna go somewhere, I wanna go somewhere, I wanna go somewhere else.

Hey, I’m sorry

Oh god I’m sorry

Hey, I’m sorry!!!

Oh god I’m sorry
