Song recorded live @Java Joe's in San Diego sometime in 2003.
I never loved this song enough to record it but used to play it live a lot.
It's a song about isolation, lack of communication and disinterest in being 
included in anything.

Lyrics:

It's unclear to me
where I left myself along the way
reading the note that you left in my room
and I want you to stay
counting the days 'til I'm better or worse
and I'll take either one
over the room and over the moon
and over the girl who thinks that I'm the one

So what if I run out of words
how will I be heard
and what if I'm living in a world 
where there's nothing left to be said
say something nice tonight
when I arrive

We're camping out 'til the end
under stars without skies
plead insanity take the fifth and I'll take five
and everything will work out right
over the room and over the moon 
and over the girl who thinks that I'm the one

So what if I run out of words
how will I be heard
and what if I'm living in a world 
where there's nothing left to be said
say something nice tonight
when I arrive

The lady says I'm wrong
stayed away too long
it's the only love I can describe
there she comes there she goes
walking on a river of eyes
where she runs now nobody knows
walking on a river

So what if I run out of words
how will I be heard
and what if I'm living in a womb
pull the covers over your head
say something nice tonight
when I arrive
say something nice tonight
when I arrive
say something nice tonight
when I arrive
