It only lasts as long As a teenage love song One night One dance One kiss One chance It only feels like this When it’s your very first kiss One night One dance First time Last chance And the starlight spins around you all night it surrounds you starlight spins around you all night it surrounds you Like a teenage love song... True love fades as fast As a slow dance lasts One night One dance One kiss One chance And the starlight spins around you all night it surrounds you starlight spins around you all night it surrounds you Like a teenage love song... One night, one chance Like a teenage love song... And the starlight spins around you all night it surrounds you starlight spins around you all night it surrounds you Like a teenage love...

Don’t be afraid when you fall asleep That’s when the love you give Equals the love you keep Don’t be afriad When you start to dream That’s when things really are As good as they seem It might not be perfect It might not even be that good It might not be safe and warm But it’s something, it’s something It might be full of danger It might be full of pain It might never feel like magic But it’s something, it’s something Don’t be afraid when you fall asleep That’s when the love you give Equals the love you keep Don’t be afriad When you start to dream That’s when things really are As good as they seem It might not taste like candy It might not feel like silk It might leave you cold and hungry But it’s something, it’s something It might not be good enough But it’s something, it’s something It might not be good enough But it’s something, it’s something Don’t be afraid when you fall asleep That’s when the love you give Equals the love you keep Don’t be afraid When you start to dream That’s when things really are As good as they seem It might not be good enough But it’s something, it’s something It might not be good enough But it’s something, it’s something

They say dance like no one’s watching But someone always is watching They’re judging your moves They’re laughing their laughs They’re watching you trip And fall on your ass They say love like you’ve never been hurt But someone always gets hurt And it’s always been you Not the other way round You don’t do the turning You do the getting turned down They say sing like no one is listening But you know no one really wants to Hear you falling off key Hear you falling off key They say live like it’s heaven live like it’s heaven on this earth but you don’t believe in heaven You don’t believe in hell Sometimes you don’t believe In this world as well you don’t believe in heaven You don’t believe in hell Sometimes you don’t believe In this world as well The world is falling off key And no one’s listening The world is falling off key And no one’s listening no one’s listening no one’s listening

You see it all over this town People breakin’ up and people breakin’ down You wonder what’s wrong with this crowd ‘cause people don’t give up, they get kicked around I tell you to play a casual game They can’t break your heart if you don’t know their name ‘cause you see it all over this town People breakin’ up and people breakin’ down Why do people even bother? Falling into love is falling in hot water They use hearts for cannon fodder always lighting fuses, they seem to like it hotter I’d tell you to build a wall around your heart But you’re one of them and like falling apart ‘cause you see it all over this town People breakin’ up and people breakin’ down People breakin’ up and breakin’ down People makin’ up and makin’ out People fallin’ in and fallin’ out People givin’ in and givin’ out People breakin’ up and breakin’ down People makin’ up and makin’ out People fallin’ in and fallin’ out People fallin’ in and fallin’ out of love! out of love! out of love! (falling in and falling out of falling in….) You see it all over this town People breakin’ up and people breakin’ down You wonder what’s wrong with this crowd ‘cause people don’t give up, they get kicked around I tell you to play a casual game They can’t break your heart if you don’t know their name ‘cause you see it all over this town People breakin’ up and people breakin’ down ‘cause you see it all over this town People breakin’ up and people breakin’ down

I don’t want to be your boyfriend I don’t want to go steady I don’t want to be your main squeeze you have two of them already I just wanna be your lover and not mean anything to you less than even a hobby just something you do then we lay in the darkness and your hair is a mess and all of our sorrows hurt a little bit less I don’t want to be your boyfriend and ask where you've been ask where you're going and ask who you've seen I want to be that somewhere you go to forget you have a bedroom that’s blackened with the smoke of regret then we lay in the darkness and your bed is a mess and all of our sorrows hurt a little bit less I don’t want to be your boyfriend I don’t want to be true Just a lie that you’re telling To the ones who really love you then we lay in the darkness and your hair is a mess and all of our sorrows hurt a little bit less

I'm having one of those days One long sweet, cloying ache Like a tooth you keep touching with your tongue But just below my heart Just below my lungs It's not like it's never hurt for It's not like I've never before I'm having one of those night My skin just doesn't feel right Staring at the bathroom tiles Remembering your awkward Apologetic smile It's not like it's never hurt for It's not like I've never before Before I met you...

I'm not looking for a hot time I'm not looking for a not hot time I'm not sure what I'm even looking for I don't want a virgin, I don't want a whore There's plenty of fish in the sea You can catch one with a net You never know what you've got 'til you find something better yet... There ain't no one better There's no one close If I have to die I hope I overdose On you And your kisses And your touch And your voice I try not to fall But I have no choice There's plenty of fish in the sea You can catch one with a net You never know what you've got 'til you find something better yet...

The having Is not as pleasurable As the wanting It’s not logical But it’s so often true So often true... We’re lucky people Not having what we wanted And losing the pleasure Of always being haunted By what could have been... You said you could feel yourself letting go So I let the rope slip from my hand Now no one’s pulling in this tug of war It’s just a line drawn in the sand Between the having and the wanting...

Everybody has little has little bits that get broken Or fall asleep and can't be woken There's nothing wrong with that I'm just saying off the bat I'm done with crazy and I'm not going back I'm just saying I'm done with crazy Don't take it personally I just figured out your roommate is your ex You're trying to make each other jealous with sex I applaud your goals Find people to fill those roles But I won't be one of them, no no, no no I'm just saying I'm done with crazy Don't take it personally I'm done with crazy There's no use yelling I'm not buying what you're selling to me If what you wanted was a third wheel for your heart You could have said from the start Please don't be confused I would not have refused I don't mind being a whore I just don't care for being used I'm just saying I'm done with crazy Don't take it personally I'm done with crazy There's no use yelling I'm not buying what you're selling to me

I wanna hold your hand I wanna hold you hips I wanna pull you closer I wanna kiss your lips if you wanna know what I plan to do about this crush I got, this crush I got on you if you wanna know what I plan to do about this crush I got, this crush I got on you I wanna brush your hair I wanna chew your gum I wanna hold your books I wanna suck your thumb I gotta figure out if it's really true this crush I got, this crush I got on you I gotta figure out if it's really true this crush I got, this crush I got on you I’m on the rebound and what’s that sound the revenge train is pulling into town she’s on the rebound, she’s getting around the revenge train is pulling into town can’t you tell me if it is really true this crush I got, this crush I got on you can’t you tell me if it is really true this crush I got, this crush I got on you This crush I got on you...

I’m shy And you’re hot And all the guys you dance with Are all the guys I’m not I’m waiting for a window I’m waiting for a chance To get you alone and ask you Can I have Can I have this dance What am I afraid of? you’re not going to bite well, I suppose that maybe just maybe, you might I’m waiting for that window Waiting for my chance To get you alone and ask you Can I have Can I have this dance Can I have this dance Can I have this dance

about

Songs about pretending things are okay when they're not. Songs written about John Hughes movies to avoid writing about the truth. Songs about ill-gotten sexual gains. Songs about trying to move on and hitting the wall of unrequited crushes. Songs about breaking up. Songs about breaking down. Songs about how wanting something is more pleasurable than attaining it. Not logical, but so often true. Originally released as an EP, presented here with six additional tracks (and omitting one).
