The Way It Used To Be

(T) when we first held hands
talked about our favorite bands
bit the bullet, took the chance
the way it used to be
(A) a subtle smile and a glance
blushing red at your advance
a blossoming romance
the way it used to be
(Both)
and we swear it'll last forever
just the two of us together
(T) and then i start to know you well
(A) telling secrets we don't tell
(T) see the devil in detail
(T) the way it used to be
(A) you grind your teeth when you sleep
(T) you never rub my feet
(A) the annoying way you eat
(T) the way it used to be
(Both)
i dont know if we can make it better
it's not working when we work on this together
(A) you never do your dishes
who's phone number is this
flirting with some ugly bitches
the way it used to be
(T) you always wake me up too soon
you're embarrassing and rude
sending nudes to other dudes
(A) you're not the person that i knew
i can't believe i sleep with you
what am i supposed to do
the way it used to be
(T) you are everything i hate
im moving out of state
i dont wanna see your face
the way it used to be
(both)
I'll resent all this forever
And I can do so much better
it's never gonna be
the way it used to be

There's Someone Else

(Alaynha)
Today you showered and shaved
A rosy glowing face displayed
As you whistle away
Allegedly with "just a friend"
(TJ)
You're smitten with a guilt-ridden cheer, my dear
You haven't worn that dress in years
Tonight I fear you're gonna disappear
Allegedly with "just a friend"
I know there's someone else.
(Alaynha)
I'm on to you, she's on top of you
I gotta prove everything
Or you'll deny
Allegedly with "just a friend"
(TJ)
The truth, the proof is right on the bed
And you're lying in it
And I know that you lie
Allegedly with "just a friend"
So I take a deep look in your eyes
It looks like in the back of your mind
You're in the back seat of a car
Or some run-down, cheap motel
So I take a deep breath and surmise
That you've left me to cry
With it all on my mind
Do you think that I'm stupid?
You can go to hell.

T- Well, she thinks we have problems, so i reluctantly agreed.
A- See this is exactly what im talking about, everything's my fault!!
Andy- Not everything is her fault!
T- I never said it was but while we're on the subject she takes no responsibility at all!
Andy- let me get involved, i believe that every troubled couple can resolve
A&T- Doctor, doctor, what do we do?
Andy- Have patience my patients and i'll help you see it through
A&T- Doctor, doctor, what do we do?
Andy Warpigs- In my serious experience I can help the both of you.
Andy Warpigs- your projecting, you're deflecting, you're defensive ya gotta let your guard down
T- how can i open up with misses fucking prissy perfect pants around
Andy- i can mediate, alleviate the tension, gotta let your guard down.
A- This is shit i get dismissed if i emit a fuckin single simple sound
T- See this is exactly what im talking about, everything's my fault!!
Andy- Not everything is his fault!
A- I never said it was but while we're on the subject he takes no responsibility at all!
Andy Warpigs- Why Am I involved, no way this very troubled couple can resolve
Andy Warpigs- I've been trying everything,I don't know what to do. I'm having second thoughts that i can help the both of you.
Well you, you're hypercritical and i think that you should stop it
T: hey, no fair
Andy: but you, you took his testicles and lockedem in your pocket
A: oh yeah right!
Andy Warpigs: I want to fix their problems, .but how can I pretend...
I want to fix their problems, but I think it's the end..

(A) We need to talk
(T) I know, it's time
(Both) to not put off whats
on our minds
I've been yours, you've been mine
oh how we've tried
(T) We haven't talked in days
Because you know what I would say
the way I look at you now just isn't the same
(A) It breaks my heart to watch as your heart breaks, it takes all my will to not make the same mistakes and cause us pain
(A) and for too long we've shared a bed without (both) sharing our feelings
(T) and for too long have we said it all without (both) saying a word
(A) Not a day goes by
(T) Where we don't fight
(A) You avoid me all day
(T) You cry all night
(Both) but there was a time...
that I'd do anything for you.
Now I'd do anything for you... to leave.

Couples Fight Phoenix, Arizona
"It'll be an interesting transformation in style to see this kind of electronic/punk crossover. A slimmed-down poppy dance-punk duo is an interesting outlet for a pair usually involved with punk bands."
