Gauge Means Nothing in the Car Lyrics

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 though 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 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

Just 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 gotta 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

Going running, buying spinach even if I don't eat it

Hey 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,

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

(Life passes in many ways

Life flashes away and

I once though i could know anything at all but

Joints just hurt and lungs wheeze

So I just do nothing but

Stare out of the window and think, was it worth it?)

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 fucked 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 my self I don't care

(Life just passes quickly

I know it's something everyone one

Says but I never really

Took it too seriously

Gazing back at decades, thinking of the moments

And the hard headed way I lived that didn't make anyone happy)

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?

(No regrets for our youth!

Sounds like a nice title

Of a film, but one that I could

Never relate to

Cause I'll always regret

Ignoring my family's feelings…)

Forget my name and forget my face

I don't wanna be remembered

Forget my name, and forget my face

I wanna start over

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 wanna start over

I wanna start over

I wanna start over

I wanna go somewhere

I wanna go somewhere

I wanna go somewhere else.

(I want to be no one

But I don't wanna disappear

I want to be no one at all)

Hey, I'm sorry

Oh god I'm sorry
