What do you learn from failed relationships?
Welcome tt the school of wonder why
You learn your lesson from kissing love good-bye
You told her you'd always be there
She said that she'd always be true
And in the end there's a wiser man
Must it always be you

Welcome to the school of who am I
You kiss the girl and you wonder why she cries
You told her you never meant to
You don't even know what you do
And in the end you're alone again
Must it always be you

Through years you've spent
Alone in argument
You've earned degrees
Despite your truancy

You skim the pages of every book you're in
You skip the middle to try and change the end
And always the same conclusion
Is waiting with empty eyes
You want the love but you don't want the pain
And there's no compromise

Through years you've spent
Alone in argument
You've earned degrees
despite your truancy x

Indie Extravaganza
I once lived in Richmond, a few towns north of Oakland on what someone called East Grease Bay. I frequented clubs in Berkeley and across the bridge in San Francisco, and though I had friends in Oakland, never explored it's music scene. Now I can see that I missed out. Tom's solo and all-star collaborations have a very easy energy that I marvel at its seeming simplicity, but know that it's not simple at all.
