"The Metro"

I'm alone
Sitting with my empty glass.
My four walls
Follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain,
And you were waiting there
Swimming through apologies.

I remember searching for the perfect words.
I was hoping you might change your mind.
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me.
Riding on the Metro.

You wore white,
Smiling as you took my hand.
So removed
We spoke of wintertime in France.
Minutes passed with shallow words.
Years have passed and still the hurt.
I can see you now
Smiling as you pulled away.

I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand.
"I'll love you always" filled my eyes.
I remember a night we walked along the Sein
Riding on the Metro

I remember a feeling coming over me
The soldier turned then looked away
I remember hating you for loving me
Riding on the Metro

I'm alone
Sitting with my broken glass.
My four walls
Follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain,
And you were waiting there
Swimming through apologies.

I remember searching for the perfect words.
I was hoping you might change your mind.
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me.
Riding on the Metro.

"Jaked On Green Beers"

It's been a long time since I've been close to you
It's been a long time since I've been sad.
It's been a while since I've really spent time with you
Wish I could take back the times that I had.
The only thing that you ever really did for me
Was make me oh so miserable.
And the hope that I never see your face again
Is anything but questionable.

I hope this is goodbye.
I hope this is goodbye.

There was a time when I thought you were a friend to me
I think those times I was probably just drunk.
And if they offered a test about being a good friend
I'd put money down that you'd surely flunk.
The only thing that you ever really took from me
Were my records to sell them for dope.
Now all I have left is this heart in my chest
And my happiness helping me cope

I hope this is goodbye [x4]

Your dishonesty helping me cope.

@thexresignation true that. everybody is always hating on assistance but if it makes the song sound better then why not? as long as you dont change it to the point that you cant play it live i think its all good.

[1974freud]

Ahhh...i love this period of the trio! Jaked on green beers really captured matt when his vocals were the perfect blend of smooth croon mixed with a wiked yell, soon after he became very screachy-raspy and then the way he is now, which is like somewhere between the two. I hope their new album sounds more like the old stuff. The last one just didnt work form me. Great band though

[PGTRegard]

Yeah thats not surprising. It was just weird how noticeable it was, like almost Lil Wayne noticeable.

Believe me it doesn't ruin the song or anything, I was just surprised.

[thexresignation]

most listenable mastered versions of songs nowadays are autotuned. i dont hate to say. if you're gonna go for a sweet guitar tone, might as well polish your vocals a bit too.

[TheRealJihadJoe]

It sounds like it a little. I don't think he is, but it sounds like it at itmes :S
