Twenty-Eight Teeth:

you ever been so bored that you start counting all your teeth as you squirm around and fidget in your cluttered, lousy seat you ever been so tired that your spirit starts to sigh and your working everyday just to make ends meet what keeps me hangin' on? you ever wake up in a hotel room but can't remember the city or state you look around, you roam around but you just can't relate you ever been so lost that a map won't do you no good as you drive around in circles in a place or town or some kind of neighborhood you ever been so desparate but for what you just don't know you see a thousand faces and you want to remember them all

You Go You're Gone:

tommy stepped away from the world for a while he only left a picture of a seventh grade smile he got caught in between a mother's last hope and a father's last dream a head of ideas that don't mean anything they don't mean anything tommy had a problem with being alone he spent everyday of his life on his own but there's no one to blame it's hard to keep friends when you keep moving away the cards and letters don't mean anything they don't mean anything when you go, you're gone and if you feel you can't go on you can always come home tommy stepped away from the world for a while his first few steps, they felt like a mile they never could believe he said goodbye and they just watched him leave all the things he knew don't mean anything they don't mean anything and if you go too far you might never come back and i might go too far and i won't ever come back and when you go i'll wait for you and when you go i'll be there too
