Jimmy Eat World

First topic message reminder :

"Chachi"

Take me clear up.
Toss me off the tower that is 40 stories tall.
So I'm plastered to the floor.
I must confess, I'm not impressed with your everlasting line.
Take draw, take a look now.
Watch me melt, from man to a boy
and I'm always on the honor society.
With everything and anything around but no attention drawn.
Make me.
I'm just curious to how and why we shouldn't be amazed.
(so don't ask why)
Tucked in slick back heart attack, yet no one seems to care.
Take me clear up.
Toss me off the tower that is 40 stories tall.
So I'm plastered to the floor.
I must confess, I'm not impressed with your everlasting line.
Seen expiration come to effect ventilation.
Make me sweet thing.
(so don't ask why)
Goodbye

"Cut"

I made it
And now there's no turning back
I know there's no depth you wouldn't sink for the chance
I'm sorry, boy
I'm not cut for this no more

You came in
Yeah, you happened to me
So I waited and nothing else has since
I'm sorry, boy
But I'm no good for you no more

If it's your name in lights
And if the time is yours,
You'd be on your back
You'd be on the floor
It's the kind of night that I'd always hoped
And he's the kind of guy worth waiting for

There's always some baggage you've got to check
I'm trying
Hope that you'd understand
I'm sorry, boy
I'm not cut for this no more

Yes I loved you, boy
But I'm not cut for this no more

"Littlething"

It's how I've often felt
When I find myself on nights like these,
Like Christmas Eve
From the empty office window
To the street outside
It's everything not to call
And find out why

On the cab ride you said nothing
Just hair all in your face
I was scared to name it
And nothing changed
So, I walked until I just couldn't
Too late I understood
It was always half invented
But the other half was good

Just a little thing
Buried in the other things
Burning away, from inside
Could you be with me tonight?
There's a quiet dream
I'm not supposed to think
I know I shouldn't
Eating away at my mind
Could you be with me tonight?

"Coffee & Cigarettes"

When I finally finished school
It was the first thing that I did
What every townie kid dreams of,
I packed and started west
A thousand dollars I had saved
And my sister's two cassettes:
The Dead from Fillmore East
And Otis Redding's Greatest Hits

Coffee and Cigarettes
As simple as it gets
Of all the things I think I'll miss,
There's staying up with you
Coffee and Cigarettes
Coffee and Cigarettes

Then, I commit with some restraint
To a boy I thought might care
It didn't work but I found out soon
And never dug roots there
Been a lot of places since
But nothing else compares
To easy times and easy eyes
To meet you in a stare

Coffee and Cigarettes
As simple as it gets
Of all the things I think I'll miss,
Coffee and Cigarettes
Coffee and Cigarettes

"Movielike"

My face coming down in streaks
All alone with your things, the apartment still ringing
Clean up and make my start
Not the way I hoped for
Welcome to New York

Nothing movie-like
Nothing magic
People just tire to fight the constant battle
Waiting to see a sign?
Then you've seen the best already

The train comes at 1:15
He said: "Maybe I'll leave. Give you time... let you think."
Don't know just what he wants
I'm all that I've got
But this time, I'm on it

Nothing movie-like
Nothing magic
People just tire to fight the constant battle
Waiting to see a sign?
Then you've seen the best already
Then you've seen the best already
Then you've seen his best already

This time believe it
Believe me
This time you'd better believe it
You know I'm gone

Nothing movie-like
Nothing magic
People just tire to fight the constant battle
Waiting to see a sign?
Then you've seen the best already
Then you've seen the best already
Then you've seen the best already
Then you've seen his best already

"Action Needs An Audience"

I'm hypnotized by rituals
now that I am on my own
Tranquilized like an animal
All because I lost control

Are you tuning in to our conversation
Oh yea you'll get your chance
The bigger the brighter illuminated
Control the audience

The weight of the world has dragged you down
And took with it what you've earned
Communications lost to the radio
Burning all your bridges down
I may never be quite satisfied but that's the only way
I know
I am over come with sympathy for your pathetic soul

Breathe in the air while you still can
Take all that you have while you still can
Sleep all night while you still can
Breathe

"Mixtape"

Maybe we could put your tape back on
Rewind until the moment we went wrong
I was always just a little bit lost
Knowing what I do, I should have fought

Simple words connecting thought
Just pieces of the background until they're gone
I was only there to sing your song
What were you protecting yourself from?

You don't get to walk away now
It's too late, you can't walk away now

"Invented"

When I first came to see you I called it Houston street (like the city)
Could we meet? Show me all the things you see?
I'm one more here
Some old-timer pioneer
Who believes with shaken faith
I still have some cool
I could leave you here with your 'people'
If I'm a flag you'd not prefer to wave
You're always in my head
You're just what I wanted
I live in constant debt
To feel you, invented
When I first came to LA I met you the old fashioned way
Too drunk
Even worse, much too lonely
I'll leave it there
A busted homesteader
Who believes in virgin grace
Somehow I'll stay proud
Any dick can roll up in a suit
But only I would know what really moves you
You're always in my head
You're just what I wanted
I live in constant debt
To feel you, invented
There's a cinematic end
I picture it just right
Having trouble with the right words
But you tell me with your eyes
There's something good I miss
Something I cant' find
Do you believe me now?
Can you see it in my eyes?
You're always in my head
You're just what I wanted
I live in constant debt
To feel you, invented
