Lyrics from the album "Eyeballs

	"I put my car up on bricks. Now there's nothing I can't fix... If I could put you up on bricks."

Hula Hoops
there’s this boy who cuts loose hula hoops and eyes bulge jaws drop he don’t stop he don’t stop for nothin.

I’ve Set Sail
It’s soon but I’ve set sail again the wind feels right this time the waves are3 small but they rock my boat just enough it’s soon but I’ve set sail again I’ve put my trust in the constellations the pinholes of hope that steer my boat I’ve put my heart in the hands of the man in the moon it’s soon but I’ve set sail again And if you get seasick I’ll drop anchor and hold you close and if you get sunstroke I’ll let you sit in the hull of my boat it’s soon but I’ve set sail again the moon feels right this time it’s big and it’s bright and it’s in line with the stars it’s soon but I’ve set sail again

Eyeballs
When i’m not there I feel eyes bearing down on you I feel the pressure of a million desires could they be more than in my mind feeling them watching you when we go out everyone seems to notice you you say hello smile and wave and flip your hair don’t you know how that makes me feel feeling them watching you woa oh oh oh oh oh eyeballs eyeballs you don’t say the words but I can read it in your body language and so can they I hate the laughter in their eyes I’m not paranoid or insecure I know they’re watching you

Where’s Teddy
Where’s Teddy you should be by your friend where are you now are you sitting down where’s Teddy you should be by your friends if if’s and but’s were candy and nuts you’d be here for one more year why can’t I tie a tie anymore what’s gone wrong my hands were stuck for so long to the steering wheel you can’t do what without the what you don’t think just react why can’t I answer the phone anymore whats gone wrong my hands were stuck for so long to the steering wheel seven out of ten eight out of ten nine out of ten good shot here’s your 50 cents good luck

Same Page
You know I’ve been hurt and I know you’ve been too but if you look out for me I’ll look out for you we’ll be scared together and we’ll take things slow pretend not to fall because we’re taking it slow we’re on the same page it’s good to know were on the same page

Heavy
Let’s not get heavy yet no heavy talks and no heavy pets let’s not get heavy yet heavy yet let’s not make up the rules just yet we’ll close our eyes let go and just feel so far it feels like such a safe bet let’s not get heavy yet my mind is racing the trap is set oh I can’t get heavy yet I tried to warn you but you wouldn’t listen there’s things about me you’re happy you’re missing I might lose my place at such a fast pace let’s not get heavy yet i don’t think I should leave just yet the sun is rising and I haven’t slept oh I’ll just lay next to you a bit

Another Name in a Magazine

Oil Change
This afternoon me and my roomate changed my oil I felt like a man as I drained my oil pan I put my car up on bricks now there’s nothing I can’t fix if I could put you up on bricks I’ve never changed my own oil he said I was three quarts low he shook his head he shook his head and said dan you’re bad I said sometimes I forget and it might just be genetic cars escape me just like my dad and I should probably think more about where I’m going and how I’ll get there and I should probably check my tire pressure keep it high so I don’t stall don’t stall we gapped spark plugs and I guess I learned something new but I felt bad for that poor guy at Jiffy lube he’ll change oil, and I’ll write songs and we’ll all still get along forgive me I meant no wrong

8 Eyes
eight eyes we talked for hours that seemed like minutes clouds just opened up water just hit us but you didn’t say a word you just smiled and pulled at the end of your skirt we talked about your family and the things that make us both go crazy all eight of our eyes saw clearly through the fog and spitting rain 8 eyes we hopped the fence we were trespassing I got scared when the lights started flashing but you didn’t say a word you just smiled and pulled me in much closer we kissed on the waterslide it was dry but the kiss was wet and it felt right all eight of our eyes saw clearly through the fog and spitting rain 8 eyes

My Favorite Song
You could be my favorite song the way you stuck with me so long your melody’s catching me I’m humming your name when I’m driving if the radio picked up on your tune no doubt you’d be a big hit soon I’d be requesting you my favorite song Now I know you’re my favorite tune and I hope I hear it again real soon your name stuck in my head it’s a beat that I can’t shed I’d make all my friends a tape so they could hear and know how great you aremy favorite song not too fast and not too slow I could get used to your tempo we could sing it in harmony I’ll back up and you sing lead cause I don’t want to change it all that much I’d hate to ruin it with my touch I’d hate to foul you up my favorite song.

I went In
A little hope tonight it wass small but it was all I needed a split second when we both lost control it wasn’t just me it wasn’t just me when we stopped in the street you stopped breathing and your head tilted back heart attack you closed your eyes and opened your mouth nothing came out so I went in you closed your eyes and opened your mouth we both stopped in the middle of the street I’d like to think that it wasn’t just me your head leaned back heart attack we both stopped in the middle of the street three months of frustration and self mutilation all burned away in the middle of the street but later that night you brought it all back why did I do that Why did I do that why are you afraid of me afraid to be alone with me you know I’ll ask and then you’ll crash now I know why you’re afraid of me you closed your eyes...

Staring at Payphones (Alone in Hoboken)
I imagine myself alone at Benny’s eating the world’s biggest slice across the room the payphone starts to ring I’m chewing on ice Benny picks it up on his way to kick the jukebox he grabs the phone and says it’s for you now I grab the phone my hands are shaking hello you say it’s me now way no way I wake up covered in makeup straight from a dream to nightmare it seems I find myself alone again in Hoboken I’m staring at payphones I’m thinking of questions I’m pressing the numbers in my head I’m staring att payphones I’m staring at payphones I’m thinking of questions hypothetical intellectual arguements I’m staring at payphones three months later I’m back at Benny’s eating my pepperoni pie across the room the payphone starts to ring I’m rubbing my eyes Leona picks it up on her way to make a phone call phone call she grabs the phone and says it’s for you now I’m not afraid of you or the payphone hello I say it’s me go away in three months I woke up got myself cleaned up thank you for seeing what I couldn’t see things could be worse than being alone again in Hoboken

No One Ever Leaves Me
Now you’ve made it so clear you’ve realized my fears so clear you’ve got a lot of nerve no one no one ever leaves me I must have misunderstood you you’ve sent a tractor down my spine and straightened out the curves you’ve got a lot of nerve there’s better ways to spend your time than spending it with mine you’ve got a lot of nerve you can’t do this to me this can’t be happening you can’t do this to me
