I couldn't understand your voicemail but I think we broke up last night on Flatbush Avenue, on the way home from the city I still think that you're pretty but you're a crazy bitch It's times like these I play my cards close to my chest you're much more interested in stacking the deck inside my head I hear your voice and have no choice but to left you back in bed My bleeding heart might fall apart, but it hasn't happened yet And I bet that I haven't seen the last of you double or nothing My breaking heart might fall apart I just want to know

girl with the star tattoos, it used to be me and you and now it’s only me -- how sad. we used to stay out all night, wake up to the price is right but now it’s only me in my bed those tattoos used to make me happy now they remind me that i’m lonely girl with the star tattoos, whatever happened to you? i called you but you never called me back i used stay up til dawn, wondering what went wrong but i think that you just found somebody else those tattoos used to light my flame but now i think they’re kinda lame

I speak too softly for my own good I don't keep the promises I should Let it ride and let me slip away I've said way too much to just save face I wish that there were time for second takes A second chance to make the same mistakes or let it all just hit the cutting room floor or act on moments I chose to ignore If these walls could talk, the stories they could tell they've seen me cry and play with myself they've heard the incoherent words I write they ache and creek to keep me up at night I replay each day in my head And each night is the same as the rest The calendar has changed, I haven't yet I haven't yet...

the first time that i met you i knew we wouldn’t get along the next time that i saw you made me want to write this song i wanna punch your lights out girls all think you’re handsome no matter where you lurk and i don’t understand it cuz i think you’re a jerk i wanna punch your lights out i wanna punch your lights out i wanna punch your lights out you’re a blight on humanity and i won’t feel sorry when i finally get to punch your lights out

she came in and put her skateboard by the door and said, “look we have to talk” she then proceeded to read me the riot act on the ways that I’ve failed her as a boyfriend and when she was done, i was all like, “yeah, well, whatever.” girlfriends come and girlfriends go some you miss and some you loathe i’ll miss her it’s true my days are blue now that she’s gone she blew my mind she broke my heart it hurt worse than a hangover i’ll stay in bed left for dead cuz she doesn’t want me anymore what can i say? what could i do? it’s not the same without her around it could be worse just another verse in the break-up breakdown so the other day i see her IN THE VILLAGE and she’s with this dude with an unfounded sense of entitlement and a williamsburg haircut and i’m all, “are you kidding me?”

Took my board out to the Rockaways I love the beach on a lazy Saturday I was catchin' waves, she was catchin' sun The undertow pulled me out to sea from the surf I caught her making eyes with me I think I pitched a tent in my trunks My friends say she's too young and that I could go to jail but her out of state ID says she's 24 Run and gun under the sun she seems fun and I think she kinda likes me Queen of the Beach Cock of the walk Makin' my move like a modern day Hasselhoff And as the sun set on the Rockaways We strolled the boardwalk and she took my hand I was thinkin' she might be the one and like the Hoff, I tried to play it cool Asked her out, Friday night after school But then her mom came and picked her up

we went out on a date and we had a nice time i gave her a hug and she blew me a kiss i picked her up in my mother’s car i was shifting gears, i put my arm around her and she blew me a kiss when all the other girls wouldn’t even look my way she hung around just to say that she’d blow me a kiss Soon all the other girls (won’t look at me quite the same) will stop running away when they all hear you say that you blew me a kiss

you’re my little puerto rican moon and everyone is watching you to see what your gonna do with that little puerto rican moon you bend and you break, let your body shake turn and you twist, scaring all the kids around you around you... god damn i am, impressed! lemme see you dance in those fashionable pants dangerous as a mongoose a pale puerto rican moon

darkness has settled they tested their mettle and went toe to toe for days neither will budge or pull their next punch stay out of the other one's way I could tell we were a wreck weekends like russian roulette nowhere to go but down not gonna make it out of here the empty sensation of new liberation that chance that we just blew to hell the ending was fitting and real f***ing s***y but I want nothing more than to wish you well

Brooklyn, Brooklyn borough by the ocean Brooklyn, Brooklyn a county built for Kings Brooklyn, Brooklyn a monument for excellence Brooklyn, Brooklyn is so much better than Queens Settled in 1634 by some Europeans called the Dutch Wooden shoes, the first fashion statement in Williamsburg Immediately gentrified, the Mohawk tribes were bought out their sacred hunting grounds became vintage clothing stores. Brooklyn, Brooklyn borough by the ocean Brooklyn, Brooklyn a county built for Kings Brooklyn, Brooklyn a monument for excellence Brooklyn, Brooklyn is so much better than Queens In 1664, the British took control with promises of organic tea and prix fixe brunches A revolution broke out, when the brunches ended at noon United we stand for mimosas Brooklyn, Brooklyn borough by the ocean Brooklyn, Brooklyn a county built for Kings Brooklyn, Brooklyn a monument for excellence Brooklyn, Brooklyn is so much better than Queens in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge gave passage for Zagat to rate Grimaldli’s pizza By 1898, Manhattanites had had enough and with Jay-Z’s okay annexed the city Brooklyn, Brooklyn a once proud sovereign city Brooklyn, Brooklyn we still have cheaper broker fees Brooklyn, Brooklyn we might be Manhattan’s little bitch Brooklyn, Brooklyn but we’re so much better than Queens
