Transit 03:23
Four counties today, but tomorrow will be three I’ll wake up in the same bed where I’ll go to sleep I’m always on the move, yet I never leave Alameda, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and then back to the City I’m wearing white on the road, so it feels like home I’m drooling in her bed, so it feels like my own When the morning comes, I don’t want to know It’s a quarter to six, I should be sleeping or gone or both It’s a great way to see places I’ve hardly been I sit back, relax, and watch it all roll right by me Sure as shit I feel a little guilty I don’t look no one in the eye; I close mine; I pretend I’m asleep I’m wearing white on the road, so it feels like home I’m drooling in her bed, so it feels like my own When the morning comes, I don’t want to know It’s a quarter to six, I should be sleeping or gone or both And my backpack’s full. Packed tight: cylindrical I could be gone for a day or two, or maybe three I triangulate my way around the Bay Dreaming of the day I spend it all in one county Until then... I’m wearing white on the road, so it feels like home I’m drooling in her bed, so it feels like my own When the morning comes, I don’t want to know It’s a quarter to six, I should be sleeping or gone or both

I can’t hang around with no slow walkers I can’t shoot the shit with no close talkers I need a friend who can give me space I need a friend who can pick up the pace Someone to keep it down when the bar’s quiet If there’s another round, my bud will let me buy it I need someone who can read a room And doesn’t mind a free beer or two We can hang around We can hang around We can hang around We can hang around Someone who’s down to walk, or better yet, take transit Someone who reads the blogs and will lose their shit if the Giants win the pennant I need a friend who digs the Muni worm And knows all the alternate uniforms We can hang around We can hang around We can hang around We can hang around I got friends And they’re all great But if you asked me what my favorite part is These are just some traits We can hang around We can hang around We can hang around We can hang around

Not Worrying 03:31
When I asked you if you had let it go Like I had a few weeks ago You gave me a look like you still weren't sure But I'm not on your time anymore So when you figure it out, give me a call I'll pick up if I have time to talk Or I won't; I could be asleep Or doing something else that makes me happy And not worrying about what could have been I thought i was a fool But baby that was then. Now I'm doing whatever makes me smile I hope that you are too. I'll check in in a while When you said you didn't think this could work My first thought's “I fucked up” -- yeah I'm a jerk But I played it in my head a couple thousand times And can't see a way we could have made it right But it's not so bad. I’m doing what i want to do I'm playing guitar instead of squabbling with you And i hope you're holding up Cause i love you baby, and that won't stop But i'm not worrying about what could have been If we hadn't come unglued If we hadn't found an end I'm going out on the weekend I'm gonna have another round Now I can sleep in So pour the whiskey ‘til I'm tired Or I'll go to bed at 10PM Being sad ain't required Or recommended I'm not worrying about what could have been I like it on my own I got plenty of friends I got a lot of good things going I'm writing lots of songs I'm playing in this band
