Certain Sounds




There are certain sounds that I simply can't afford 
"let's stay friends" well those are three very expensive words
I ain't got no money, so I spend all my time 
tryin' to figure out why I'm not yours and you're not mine

Nineteen years, you have grown quite cynical 
I sit back, write my thoughts, drink my Pinnacle 
you read Salinger, Hemingway, Thoreau, and Twain 
you're gonnna, backpack through Germany and study on the coast of Spain 


There are certain sounds that I simply can't afford 
"let's stay friends" well those are three very expensive words
I ain't got no money, so I spend all my time 
tryin' to figure out why I'm not yours and you're not mine

I can keep secrets, you know I keep them real good 
I follow the, same criteria every ex girlfriend should 
you actually love her, but you still want me
go ahead and, slap me in the fucking face
watch me bleed 

If a piece of glass can be rounded by the sea
why is that love went up and lost,
 you know she lost you and me 
if a referee can get paid to call a game fair 
why is that we lost all touch
I no longer care

Cause there are certain sounds that I simply can't afford 
let's stay friends well those are three very expensive words
I ain't got no money so I spend all my time
tryin' to figure out why I'm not yours and you're not mine
