ataris - the boys of the summer

Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house
Though I know you're not at home

But I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and those sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream
Now I don't understand what happened to our love
But babe, I wanna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Out on the road today, I saw a BLACK FLAG sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice Inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back."
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

ataris - i won t spend another night alone

A star up in the sky goes slowly passing by,
The lights below...they spell out your name.
You're comfort on my mind and you're with me all the time.
And lot's of feeling that I can't explain.

[Chorus]
I won't spend another night alone...
I won't spend another night alone...

Out of every girl I meet, no other can compete.
I'd ditch em all for a night with you.
I know you don't believe you mean this much to me.
But I promise you that you do.

If I had one wish this is what it would be...
I'd ask you to spend all your time with me,
That we'd be together forever.
We'd buy a small house in south central L.A.
Raise lots of kids then we'd both join a gang
Just as long as we're together.

The things you make me wanna do
I'd rob a quik-e-mart for you
I'd go to the pound and let all the cats go free
Just as long as you'd be with me.

[Chorus]
I won't spend another night alone...
I won't spend another night alone...

ataris - the hero dies in this one

as i leave here today
apartment 108
ill always keep you in my heart
anderson is cold tonight
the leaves are scattered on the ground
i miss the seasons
and the comfort of your smile

sometimes this all feels like a dream
im waiting for someone just to wake me up
from this life

as i look out at these fairgrounds
i remember how our families split apart
i dont think i ever told you
but i know you always did your best
and the hard times they only made us stronger

as i sit here all alone
i wonder how im supposed to carry on
when youre gone.

ill never be the same without you.
i love you more than you will ever know.
so maybe now you finally know
sometimes were helpless and alone
but you cant let it keep you weighted down
you must go on.

do you ever feel like crying
do you ever feel like giving up?

i raise my hands up towards the sky
and say this prayer for you tonight
because nothing is impossible.

as i sit here all alone
i wonder how im supposed to carry on
when youre gone.

ill never be the same without you.
i loved you more than you will ever know.
so maybe now you finally know
sometimes were helpless and alone
but you cant let it keep you weighted down
you must go on.

the hardest part isnt finding what we need to be
its being content with who you are.

stay who you are.

you must go on.

stay who you are.

ataris - unopened letter to the world

Unopened Letter To The World
>> The Ataris

If i died tomorrow
would this song live on forever?
here is my
unopened letter to a world
that never shall reply

if i died tomorrow
would this song live on forever?
here is my
unopened letter to a world
that never shall reply

never shall reply
from this second story window
i can hear the church bells calling out my name
this table is set for one
even angels would be homesick
in this forsaken town

on random notes of parchment
i'm scrawling my existence
dressed in white

this candle radiates throughout the night
and it's never burning out

never burning out
from this second story window
i can hear the children down on main street
they're singing their songs tonight

in the shadows i will listen to their every movement

Mr. Higginson am i not good enough for the world?

am i destined only to die
the same way that i lived,
in seclusion?

but high up on this mountain
i can almost see your lonely window sill

they'll carry you off tonight

there's a ghost in your old bedroom
and a candle burning bright

if i die tomorrow
will this song live on forever?

ataris - all souls day

You said you wanted to be loved
I think you wanted to be saved
but tell me how am I supposed to save a girl like you
when I don't even know how to save myself
maybe I'll drive all night
wake up in the harsh day light
in a different town start a brand new life
and never have to see your face again

I wonder if this spell were under
is ever gonna end
I wonder if this spell were under
is ever
ever going to end

I guess its never any closer
since I last took it alright
you said you hope that I'm happy now
but we both know
like everything that's one big fucking lie
I wish I could turn around
erase our lives take back those vows
I guess its not that easy now
I'll tear that fucking chapel to the ground

I wonder if this spell were under
is ever gonna end
I wonder if this spell were under
is ever going to end

today I woke up
and these leaves that are weathered
faded and fell to the ground
like our dying hearts

I wonder if this spell were under
is ever gonna end
I wonder if this spell were under
is ever

I wonder if this spell were under
is ever gonna end
I wonder if this spell were under
is ever gonna end
I wonder if this spell were under
is ever gonna end
I wonder if this spell were under
is ever
ever going to end!

ataris - so long astoria

it was the first snow of the season
I can almost see you breathing
in the middle of that empty street
sometimes I still see myself
in that lonesome bedroom
playing my guitar and singing
songs of hope for a better future

life is only as good as the memories we make
and I'm taking back what belongs to me
polaroids of classrooms unattended
these relics of remembrance
are just like shipwrecks
only they're gone faster than the smell after it rains

last night while everyone was sleeping
I drove through my old neighborhood
and resurrected memories from ashes
we said that we would never fit in
but we were really just like them
does rebellion ever make a difference?

So long, Astoria
I found a map to buried treasure
and even if we come home empty-handed,
we'll still have our stories
of battlescars, pirate ships and wounded hearts
broken bones and all the best of friendships

and when this hourglass has filtered out its final grain of sand
I'll raise my glass to the memories we had

this is my wish and I'm taking it back, I'm taking 'em all back

ataris - san dimas high school football rules

Last night I had a dream that we went to Disneyland,
Went on all the rides, didn't have to wait in line.
I took you to your house where we stared up at the stars
I listened to your heartbeat as I held you in my arms.
We hung out at the rainbow where we drank til' half past two.
Nothing could go wrong anytime that I'm with you.
Like crashing a hotel room or leading up to that first kiss
Or searching for a high school that you know doesn't exist...

These are the things that make me free
I feel like I'm stuck in "stand by me"
This night was too good to be true.

Today I woke up alone wishing you were here with me,
I want us to be something that we'd probably never be.
Today you called me up and said you'd see me at our show,
But now I'm stuck debating if I even wanna go.

Whitney, don't you understand that what I say is true?
I just want you to know I have a major crush on you.
I'd drive you to Las Vegas and do the things you wanna do
I'd even have Wayne Newton dedicate a song to you.

I only wish that this could be
Just dump your boyfriend and go out with me
I swear I'd treat you like a queen. a queen.

ataris - connections are more dangerous than lies

Electric windmill skyline
The cracking soil beneath my feet
It's pearls drenched with lust
This empty bed, the sweat soaked sheets
It's like they empty out the ocean
Bodies mending this scorched earth
It's like they empty out the ocean
Bodies mending this scorched earth
So call me on your long walks home
Where drunken voices bleed into one

If you're not in love, stay where you are
If you're not in love, stay where you are
If you're not in love, stay where you are
If you're not in love, stay where you are

I will to you the smell of burning leaves
Rusted windchimes and the feverish glow of fireflies
We were such terrible liars
We were such passionate lovers
We were such terrible liars
We were such passionate lovers
So call me on your long walks home
Where drunken voices bleed into one

If you're not in love, stay where you are
If you're not in love, stay where you are
If you're not in love, stay where you are
If you're not in love, stay where you are

We awoke on your cluttered bed
To the schoolchildren below
Our teeming hearts
Habitual words are effortlessly flung
We were such terrible liars
We were such passionate lovers
We were such terrible liars
We were such passionate lovers
We were such terrible liars
We were such passionate lovers
We were such terrible liars
We were such passionate lovers
(Call me on your long walks home
Where drunken voices bleed into one)

If you're not in love, stay where you are
If you're not in love, stay where you are
If you're not in love, stay where you are
If you're not in love, stay where you are
Stay where you are
If you're not in love, stay where you are
Stay where you are
If you're not in love, stay where you are

ataris - eight of nine

These hospital walls are the palest of white.
here in this desert they're reciting my last rites.
the smell of these halls brings temporary comfort
as the oxygen flows through my blood.
El corazon was poisoned tonight...
She's on her eight of nine.

When half of all your prayers are insencere,
the other half are lies.

Here is this watermark under this bridge.
the point where it crested,
rolled back and drifted,
into the sea.

I climb from this wreckage
as the smoke begins to clear from my lungs,
the closest of close calls has happened tonight.

It's time that i made things right,
for the first time, since the last time.
Let this moment of clarity,
lift this curse that has been cast upon me.

Appreciate the good times,
but don't take the worst for granted.
'cause you only get so many second chances.

ataris - takeoffs and landings

On this coldest of January nights
We'll Drive out past the runway, and watch the planes go flying by
The runway lights are the deepest blue, like the colors of your eyes
So, close them tight and kiss me one last time

If you could go anywhere right now,
Where would you go?
And would you miss me when you get there?
There's no place that I would rather be

Please don't let me go falling from the sky
This fasten seatbelt sign just needs to go out
If only you could be, right here by my side
Home wouldn't seem so far from here

Passports, customs, carry-on,
Remember to shut off all of your electronic devices
Fell asleep on Tuesday, woke up Monday afternoon
I slept right through your international dateline

If you could go anywhere right now,
Where would you go?
And would you miss me when you get there?
There's no place that I would rather be

Please don't let me go falling from the sky
This fasten seatbelt sign just needs to go out
If only you could be, right here by my side
Home wouldn't seem so far from here

Please don't let me go falling from the sky
This fasten seatbelt sign just needs to go out
If only you could be, right here by my side
Home wouldn't seem so far from here

Please don't let me go falling from the sky
This fasten seatbelt sign just needs to go out
If only you could be, right here by my side
Home wouldn't seem so far from here

ataris - the last song i will ever write about a girl

Broken heart again today...
The flowers that I gave to you have withered all away.
Just when I opened up my heart
The one you used to love came and ripped it right apart.
Why do I never seem to learn?
That love is wrong and girls are fucking evil.
I guess I'll never figure out
What womankind is all about.
I heard your voice again today
I'm scarred by all the lies that were once promises you'd made.
I lie in bed awake at night
And wonder what went wrong or even more just what went right.

ataris - your boyfriend sucks

You're better off without him, don't call him...
He's breaking your heart.
He's hanging with your best friend and your waiting there,
It's tearing you apart.
He lied to you a thousand times,
When I was there he kept you waiting.
And I'm still here waiting there
To catch you if you fall.
I don't know why I care so much
When I shouldn't care at all.
Finally got the nerve to tell you
How much you mean to me you said that I was your best friend,
A real sweet guy, but that's all I'd ever be.
And I'm still here waiting there
To catch you if you fall.
I don't know why I care so much
When I shouldn't care at all.

ataris - broken promise ring

I really wanna call you, but I know that it's not right.
I probably shouldn't tell you but I dreamed of you last night.
I guess I'm not prepared to say...
Goodbye, so long, farewell, I won't be seeing you again
Until next time that he goes away.
You told me that you loved me, I started tearing down those walls.
I really started to trust you but you set me up to take the fall.
I guess I'm not prepared to say...
Goodbye, so long, farewell, I won't be seeing you again
Until next time that he goes away.
I guess that I'm wrong for falling in love,
But you're still the one that I'm dreaming of.
I guess that it's you I want to hold onto,
But you're holding onto someone else.

ataris - up up down down left right left right b a start

today was a good day.
I didn't even have to use my a.k.
at least I didn't get my heart broken anyway
wasting time in east new jersey.
guess I could tell you 'bout
the snow covered rooftops,
sunsets, shooting stars and picturesque backdrops.
or how I went and hung out at quick-stop
and pretended that I was in clerks.

sometimes you gotta stop and remember
that your not gonna live forever.
be young, think smart, stay true
and just follow your heart.

remember the times we watched "karate kid"
and memorized every line
skipped school and went to the arcade
hung out and played galaga all day.
stole a car and we drove to michigan.
600 miles with no destination.
except to get in the car and drive
and see where we'll end up.

sometimes you gotta stop and remember.
that your not gonna be young forever.
think smart, have fun, stay true
and don't ever grow up.

out of all I've learned in life
you always keep your friends close to your heart.
'cause who will help you if you're falling down.

and everything is o.k.

ataris - angry nerd rock

Time to burn it all away, time to think of what to say
Time to go right back to yesterday.
Time for movements in the past, time for something that won't last.
Not just fire quick and die off fast.
Things are never what they seem,
I'm stuck inside of someone else's dream.
Problems never go away...
I'm sick of being caught in yesterday.
Every day it's still the same, different faces, different names,
But still stuck here playing these stupid games.
Maybe soon I'll figure out what giving up is all about.
My heart is filled so full of doubt.
Don't turn around, don't look ahead
I won't listen to all the lies I'm fed.
Don't have to listen to you
So don't you fucking tell me what to do.
