My Universe
03:37

Still have your shadow on my bedroom wall.
I’ve got your makeup too
Without a broken heart to cover up.
What do you have to prove.
You were my universe.
My worst and best.
My lungs are new to this
Can’t you stay while I’m catching my breath.
Your voice was never so unwelcoming
It sounds so foreign now.
And though you're drifting further every day.
Still I keep reaching out.
You were my universe.
My worst and best.
My lungs are new to this
Can’t you stay while I’m catching my breath.

Trouble In Opening Up
03:44
|

The night was cold
Her cheeks were freezing
Our voices low
Childish and teasing
And I drove home
Feeling that feeling
By now I know
The trouble in opening up
The trouble in opening up
It’s enough
I’m spilling my guts
It’s so dangerous
When a boy’s good at bleeding
It hurts just to touch
Scared as hell
That she gives me reasons
To feel so right
Yet so defeated
It pissed me off
She kissed it off
And that’s the trouble in opening up
The trouble in opening up
It’s enough
I’m spilling my guts
It’s so dangerous
When a boy’s good at bleeding
It hurts just to touch
I’m done being tough
I’m filling my cup
When a boy’s good at drinking
He drinks way too much
Transparency’s the enemy
And love you can’t pretend to be
A brick wall when you’re just a (sheet?)
Or heartless when you where it on your sleeve…
It’s enough
I’m spilling my guts
It’s so dangerous
When a boy’s good at bleeding
It hurts just to touch
I’m done being tough
I’m filling my cup
When a boy’s good at drinking
He drinks way too much.

Trespassing
03:11
|

Late one night we snuck out
Walked down to the nearby ballfield
Where you told me you smoked your first cigarette
Alone to fill the hours
Telling stories we weren’t proud of
Never knowing neither heard a word we said
But it was effortless
I fell for you when I first caught you where you shouldn’t be
You found a corner, crossed a borderline inside of me
And though you should have been arrested for your trespassing
I let you stay.
Calm in the beginning, when our insides were off limits
There were rules and we were fellow citizens
I thank the stars we couldn’t see the threat of injury
Sucks to say goodbye to innocence
But it was effortless
I fell for you when I first caught you where you shouldn’t be
You found a corner, crossed a borderline inside of me
And though you should have been arrested for your trespassing
I let you stay.
I fell for you when I first caught you where you shouldn’t be
You found a corner, crossed a borderline inside of me
And though you should have been arrested for your trespassing
I let you stay.

Jealous Of The Sun
03:47
|

When you took my silver bracelet off
You cut me in the softest spot
Detached the clasp to say that we were through
And though it got me so upset
I should have known that’s what I’d get
The tan line’s all that’s left of me and you
And soon the sun will have us always Always
And I’ll be jealous of it always Always
Will your wrist still miss me when
The sunshine’s color fills it in
Cause I’ll be jealous of it always
These words, they don’t mean much by now
It took too long to get them out
My nervousness, it hurt more than it had too
Still I can’t shake the feeling that we
Could have spared our feelings if I
Spoken up back when we had the chance too.
And soon the sun will have us always Always
And I’ll be jealous of it always Always
Will your wristsstill miss me when
The sunshine’s color fills it in
Cause I’ll be jealous of it always
I Was such a selfish prick
I’m certain I deserve this
I Was such a selfish prick
But I’m better for it
And soon the sun will have us always Always
And I’ll be jealous of it always Always
Will your wrists still miss me when
Some other lover fills me in
Cause I’ll be jealous of him always

The Blakes Asbury Park, New Jersey
We led a pretty short but exciting life as a band. We formed in the fall of 2001 under the premise of making unapologetic,
over-the-top power pop music. It started as more of an outlet for our guilty pleasures than an actual band, but as we began working together, writing, recording, and eventually performing we realized that we really had something special.
