This day so far's been going fine
And this year's been at an all time high
I've only felt shitty a number of times
And only one person tried to steal my bike
We look at Morse code
Pretend that we know
Befriend mosquitoes
Ignore the radio
Play the honky-tonk
Play the car horn
Don't check your cell phone
But don't use airplane mode
With my Casio
I'll never be alone
I'll never go
Away from my Casio
We played with Mario
One of your buttcheeks froze
We played a stage show
We pwn at Halo
Take my piano
You can play it slow
Play a solo
On my Casio
I'll never go
Away from my Casio

Craig Gilner thought he'd be better off dead
But he checked into a hospital instead
Thought he'd clear up all the noise
In his head
He spent five days before leaving again
He made a new life and a lot of new friends
And I was crying
By the end
But you don't know what it meant to me
That movie got me though another week
Oh I can't wait to see
The next great movie
That'll save me
Mason and Grace work at Short Term 12
Protecting kids that've been through hell
When they shave Marcus' head, he asks
"Is it lumpy?"
Since I've seen it I've been thinking about
Music therapy and expressing myself
But you don't know what it meant to me
That movie gave me ideas about what I'm meant to be
Oh, I can't wait to see
The next great movie
That'll shape me
Jude looks down at the city from above
And he sings "All you need is love"
There's not a better message
I could think of
But you don't know what it meant to me
That movie brought me back to reality
And it made me see
Maybe love's not so scary
Oh I can't wait to see
The next great movie
That'll inspire me

I Miss That Job
03:50

The words
That you told
At a job
By the door
On a field
In a store
Where we worked two years ago
Well it all came back loud and clear and made me sob
I miss that job
At first I worked at a library
In 2011 in May
I cleaned the place and sorted books and shelved them
That job was okay
After two months of school I stopped going
Distracted or maybe just bored
When nobody noticed I was missing
It was clear I'd been ignored
Well it all came back loud and clear and made me sob
I miss that job
Then I worked as a referee
Since April of 2013
The job was hard
The coaches were fine
The rules were weird
The kids were nice
But the parents were so mean
I ran in shorts and shoes and shirt and mud and sunburn
Up and down a track
Technically I still have a job there
But I never want to go back
Well it all came back loud and clear and made me sob
I don't miss that job
In 2014 in April
I got a job making subs
I drove, cleaned, served and made deliveries
I was part of the gangle club
My bosses were pretty cool
My coworkers were okay
Then they quit or moved or got fired
Or otherwise went away
Well it all came back loud and clear and made me sob
I miss that job
Now I work at a gas station
Selling cigarettes, food, and gas
It's a pretty good job for the moment
But I know it can never last
Well it all came back loud and clear and made me sob
I'll miss this job

I miss when we shared weed
I miss when we shared stories
I miss when we shared inside jokes
I miss when we shared smiles
I miss when I was close to you
I miss when I could finish your sentences
I miss when you could understand me
Without using consonants
I made that part up
But you understood me
We almost were
But never could be
I mistook
Your worried looks
I blamed myself
I blamed you
I went away
But another day
I saved myself
I hope I didn't hurt you
I'm so smart
I picked logic over love
And I'm so happy
I can start a life to be proud of
And you're not even real now
So I guess I should move on
And I don't even miss you
Because you're not here, you're gone
But you're not gone
You're just sitting in the back of my mind
And in my songs
Always pointing out the signs to remind me
What we could be
If I had only known what leaving would do
But it's just me
And an imaginary version of you
Because I'M SO SMART
For leaving you behind
And I'M SO HAPPY
I didn't even say goodbye
And YOU'RE NOT EVEN REAL NOW
I threw you in the garbage bin
And I DON'T EVEN MISS YOU
I only miss what could've been
