East Bay Breeze

27 blocks away to the liquor store
Never thought in my wildest dreams
You'd be sitting right next to me
Drinking a 40 on some stranger's floor
Like this bottle of Mickey's
I'm shaking, sweating, slurring nervously
Yet your smile puts my mind at ease

And now it's getting close to 4 AM
I don't wanna go to sleep
As long as you're in sight I don't wanna fucking blink
Then we step out to the wet cement
You're enamored by the palm trees
Lack of humidity, and the cool east bay breeze
If only you'd just stick around with me

'cause tonight, I'll forget all my problems
When I look in your eyes
I'm fine, even if for a moment
As long as you're by my side
Tonight, I'll forget all my problems
When I look in your eyes
I'm fine, even if for a moment
As long as you're by my side

Pointless

I'm captivated by your Midwestern accent
talking about skating, you seemed so damn fearless
nerded out about star wars, don't know where the time went
"Radical! Radical!" Oh, shit, I've got this.

If only, you weren't leaving tomorrow
We could go outside watch the stars glow
But why put ourselves through this?
We know it's pointless
I wish that there could be another way (another way)
I wish that there could be another way (another way)
I wish that there could be another way

Now, 3 months later, in your van riding shotgun
It still feels like summer, and yeah, I'm still pretty drunk
We're sleeping on cold floors, concrete's burning outdoors
Wake up now, wake up now, the weekend's not over
