[Verse 1] He spends his days just smoking weed
Behind the school where he learned to read
Wonders what's out beyond the freeway
Thinkin' maybe one day
But for now he'll stay shotgunning beers
With the friends he's known throughout the years
Might be something else for him
But to him success is foreign.
[Verse 2] She's got two kids and money to blow
Got them from her high school woe
Divorce can be a real chore
When you can't avoid him at the story
Has to pick which yearbook to buy
Take enough prescription they'll get you high
Maybe she'll go back to school
But then who's gonna clean the pool?
[Chorus] Never have to go far
They can make it without a car
So when the reunion comes around
They'll only have to go across town.
[Verse 3] He's worked the store since it began
A dying present from his old man
Always dreamt of his own show
But what else does he know
Passes the time just peddling tools
Not his life but doesn't make the rules
Maybe later he'll pass it down
But needs someone to wear the crown.
[Chorus] Never have to go far
They can make it without a car
So when the reunion comes around
They'll only have to go across town.
[Bridge] The hospital where they were born
The graveyard where they'll mourn
Their whole world fits on a pin
And while they may sit with a grin
They can still feel the same old flies
Buzzing behind their eyes
But all it takes is a stride.
To crack their minds open wide
[Chorus] Didn't have to go far
They made it without a car
So when the reunion comes around
Maybe they'll be out of town.

[Verse 1] I'm the captain
Of this sinking ship in a bottle
We're going down fast
And my hands are glued to the throttle
[Verse 2] The waves are high
And there's a storm coming in
It's always been there
But I can finally feel its wind
[Pre-chorus] Lived my whole life
Just trying to be tough
Something tells me
Won't be enough
[Chorus] I was born with the sea in my heart
And a bottle in my hand
We'll hit the bottom 'fore long
And sing our sailor song
[Verse 3] We can curse God till we're red
But Mr. Morgan's to blame
And I can't jump ship
It's in my family name
[Pre-chorus] Lived my whole life
Just trying to swim
But this water
Is looking grim
[Chorus] I was born with the sea in my heart
And a bottle in my hand
We'll hit the bottom 'fore long
And sing our sailor song
[End] Oh, we drink
Oh, we drink
Oh, we drink
'Til we forget how to think
Oh, we drink
Oh, we drink
Oh, we drink
'Til we forget how to sink

[Verse 1] I live downstairs from your favorite band
They can take of their heads and they're trading hands
I think it's cause of all those pills they eat
They're addicted now their rhythm's off beat
Favorite band, favorite band, favorite band, favorite
[Verse 2] I met a guy at this party one night
He was the star of that movie you liked
His ring finger had a funny tan line
And all the girls were laughing so divine
Favorite film, favorite film, favorite film, favorite
[Chorus] I have a map to the stars
Read all about it, it's my memoir
If you study enough
You'll have what it takes to be someone
[Verse 3] I saw the star of that reality show
Just followed the crowd cause they always know
Friends were getting picture with such technique
Jealous when I got the tears on her cheek
Favorite show, favorite show, favorite show, favorite
[Chorus] I have a map to the stars
Read all about it, it's my memoir
If you study enough
You'll have what it takes to be someone
[End] I know a guy who knows a girl who knows a man who knows a guy who knows you
