ANTARCTIGO VESPUCCI
SOULMATE STUFF

I'm not sure what Antarctigo Vespucci is. Calling it a band started by Chris Farren (Fake Problems) and Jeff Rosenstock (Bomb the Music Industry!) wouldn't be quite right. Calling it a recording project sounds too serious. Basically, this record sounds like two buddies sitting in a small room in a Brooklyn apartment in winter having a good time making fuzzy pop songs, and then asking a few more friends to jump in on the fun!

100 Years

Oh I, I'm kind of busy Friday night
but any other time is fine if you're involved.
Oh I, I think it is impossible
to keep you off my mind in full
I keep seeing your face.

And it seems like you mean it
when you say that you need me.
And it feels so wonderful
when you are near.

Please be mine for 100 years.

Sometimes

I kinda doubt you'd ever notice
but I just have to float this out there,
that I've been feeling detached,
my mind is moving too fast
and it's so hard to let things go.

Sometimes I wanna go
back where I lost my faith
and see if it's still there.

I'm holding steady to commitments
that I made many years ago.
My life's a roll of the dice,
it's all subjectively nice,
it only makes sense if you're in it.

Sometimes I wanna go
back where I lost my faith
and see if it's still there,
and see if it's still there.

And I don't have anything to say
but I want you to look at me
as I rip my heart out.
There's nothing left to give,
all hope and dream is dead,
and that's all that I had.

Sometimes I wanna go
back where I lost my faith
and see if it's still there
and see if it's still there
and see if it's still there
and see if it's still there.

I'm Giving Up On U2

The world was made for you and I
but you took it when you split.
Now all the drinks and memories
are shelved and worthless.

I'm not gonna call you back
when you wanna hang out.
You gave up on me so now
I don't want you around.

I'm giving up on you too,
I'm giving up on you too,
I'm giving up on you too,
I'm giving up, I'm giving up on you.

I'd cross my heart, I'd hope to die
if that's what you said you wanted.
I was such a fool to give so much
to someone who gave nothing.

I'm not gonna be the one
that tells you to settle down.
You gave up on me so now
I don't need you around.

I'm giving up on you too,
I'm giving up on you too,
I'm giving up on you too,
I'm giving up, I'm giving up on you.

I'm not gonna be the one
you've grown to count on.
You gave up on me so...

I'm giving up on you too,
I'm giving up on you too,
I'm giving up on you too,
I'm giving up, I'm giving up

Guest List Spots

If I died right here, what would they all say?
"He was miserable but he died doing
what made him happy"?
and if I went away who would be the first to find me?
A pretty girl that I loved or
someone looking for a guest list spot?

And if I drink enough life feels a little easy,
I could stand right up and slur a speech about how
I'm lucky to have such wonderful friends,
and I would be nothing without all of them.

If I could I would (if I could I would)
but I can't so I won't (can't so I won't)
Yeah, I know there's more to come
if I can just hold on.

Don't Die In Yr Hometown

I'm not looking at my old notebooks no more,
or searching four years back in my Gmail
to find the ones she wrote before.
But I don't feel much better,
I feel basically the same.
Yeah, I dragged myself across the earth,
still I'm stuck in the same place.

I'm not looking for a good deal on a newly foreclosed home,
I'm not calling up cemeteries for quality gravestones.
I feel just like a teenager without the fire in my heart
when I force myself out of my bed and fall asleep in my car.

Don't die in your hometown,
Don't da-da-da-da-die in your hometown,
because the things that last forever
are the things that never change,
Don't da-da-da-da-die in your hometown.

My greatest fear has never been dying alone,
it's drifting into the black with someone I barely know.

Don't die in your hometown,
Don't da-da-da-da-die in your hometown,
because the things that last forever
are the things that never change,
Don't da-da-da-da-die in your hometown
Don't da-da-da-da-die in your hometown
Don't da-da-da-da-die in your hometown.

100 Years 2: 200 Years

Oh I, I get buried in myself sometimes,
and for all of that I apologize.
It's a mess up there.

Oh I, I never thought it would be possible
for my heart to feel so comfortable
like it does with you.

Please be mine for 100 years.

Bang!

She said "Maybe you should go out tonight
so you're not alone with your thoughts"
I sat up slightly from the couch and said
"That's gonna happen no matter what".

Go out with a bang
or until they all know your name,
just don't fade out.

Maybe I should stay in all night
so I don't have to pretend
the boring stories and sleepy faces
are not my only friends.

Go out with a bang
or until they all know your name,
just don't fade out.

Cuz all I wanna do is ride my bike
and think about sex, yeah.
All I wanna do is fade out with you.

I'm certain I could have tore it up, yeah.
I would have been such a hit,
but now I'm motionless on my floor, yeah
How much lower can I get?
How much lower can I get?
How much lower can I get?
How much lower can I get?

Go out with a bang
or until they all know your name,
just don't fade out.

Cuz all I wanna do is ride my bike
and think about sex, yeah.
All I wanna do is fade out with you.

Cuz all I wanna do is ride my bike
and think about sex, yeah.
All I wanna do is fade out with you.
