Hey, hey
She had her eyes on the prize as the girl next door
You grow up quick when you grow up poor
It's the only way to LA that she knows
The Hollywood pose, teeth, tits, and drawers
Didn't take her long to leave the boulevard
So many five star friends with black credit cards
She'd try anythin' once 'cause anythin' goes
It never comes easy when you're diggin' for gold
Hey, hey
Well, she ain't no Cinderella when she's gettin' undressed
'Cause she rocks it like the naughty wicked witch of the west
Far too pretty to be givin' it cheap
That's why she's makin' six figures workin' three days a week
Yeah, she'd even break a promise in the promised land
She didn't make it this far by just shakin' hands
She'd shake her money maker twice as hard as anyone can
She didn't make it this far by just shakin' hands
Hey, hey
I doubt she'd even let the devil buy her little black book
City hall would probably fall off if anyone got a look
Every A list player is a favorite friend
Says they all taste the same in the back of a vans
A congressman would call her every once in a while
Got the school girl skirt on the top of the pile
She's done everyone once and everyone knows
You gotta get a little dirty when you're diggin' for gold
Hey, hey
Well, she ain't no Cinderella when she's gettin' undressed
'Cause she rocks it like the naughty wicked witch of the west
Far too pretty to be givin' it cheap
That's why she's makin' six figures workin' three days a week
Yeah, she'd even break a promise in the promised land
She didn't make it this far by just shakin' hands
She'd shake her money maker twice as hard as anyone can
She didn't make it this far by just shakin' hands
Well, someone spilled the beans and now her name's in the press
Tough to keep it all a secret when you're one of the best
The judge is goin' easy 'cause he paid for her chest
Yeah, he loves his little naughty wicked witch of the west
Far to pretty to be givin' it cheap
That's why she's makin' six figures workin' three days a week
Yeah, she'd even break a promise in the promised land
She didn't make it this far by just shakin' hands
She'd shake her money maker twice as hard as anyone can
She didn't make it this far by just shakin' hands
She'd shake her money maker twice as hard as anyone can
This time I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life, the one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing
I'll know it by the feeling
The moment when we're meeting will play out like a scene
Straight off the silver screen
So I'll be holding my own breath right up 'til the end
Until that moment when I find the one that I'll spend forever with
'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
'Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
Tonight, out on the street, out in the moonlight
And you know this feels too right
It's just like déjà vu
Me standing here with you
So I'll be holding my own breath, could this be the end?
Is it that moment when I find the one that I'll spend forever with
'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
'Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
You can't give up, looking for a diamond in the rough
You never know when it shows up
Make sure you're holding on
'Cause it could be the one, the one you're waiting on
'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me, oh
Nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
Father, tell me somethin'
Where do bad men go when they die?
And mother says you'll go there but
Wings for her and I and I don't mind
Cause I have always wanted to learn to...
Fly... learn to
Fly... learn to
Fly... learn to
Fly...
Brother, tell me somethin'
If I take this, am I going to die?
And he says no, so then I figure what the hell
I'll try cause it's my life
So light the match and you and I will...
Fly... learn to
Fly... learn to
Fly... learn to
Fly...
Cause I'm on my hands and knees I've crawled eternity to beg forgiveness
And someday I'll be there I swear to you, God, as my witness
For all the trusts I've broke and, let justice know, it's just that easy
Cause I'm a liar, I conspired, I'm a liar...
And father tell your son,
It's not your gun and bloody hands
Don't hide behind locked doors
In dresser drawers those bullets wait to fly...
Fly... wait to
Fly... wait to
Fly... wait to
Fly...
Cause I'm on my hands and knees
I've crawled eternity to beg forgiveness
And someday I'll be there I swear to you,
God, as my witness
For all the trusts I've broke and,
let justice know, it's just that easy
Feelin' Fine, Let's rip out yours instead of mine
And all you need, are several ways to watch me bleed
Well thanks for stopping this beating in my chest
It's easier now and I'm happy like this
Just like this
Even though I ain't coming back now,
I didn't mean to seem as though,
I was so ungrateful for all you've done here
For yanking out my...
Honestly, you, you fuck your friends for all your needs and
Stay the course, know the universe ain't yours
Well thanks for stopping this beating in my chest
It's easier now and I'm happy like this
Just like this
Even though I ain't coming back now,
I didn't mean to seem as though,
I was so ungrateful for all you've done here
Even though I ain't coming back now,
I didn't mean to seem as though,
I was so ungrateful for all you've done here
For yanking out my...
If I could only see this
If I could have one good reason
All the feelings out of season
Am I thankful
For yanking out my, for yanking out my...
Feelin' Fine, Let's rip out yours instead of mine
And all you need, are several ways to watch me bleed
Well thanks for stopping this beating in my chest
It's easier now and I'm happy like this
Just like this
Even though I ain't coming back now,
I didn't mean to seem as though,
I was so ungrateful for all you've done here
Even though I ain't coming back now,
I didn't mean to seem as though,
I was so ungrateful for all you've done here
For yanking out my...
For yanking out my...
And some say
Why you follow somethings so long
So I asked him
And he convinced me before long
Now its over
And I've seen him, don't come back anymore
And he said...
I need
I don't ask much anymore
I found
I found something
Throw a stone into the water
The ripple is broke
Burn the baby
Just for holding the candle too close
Take it all back
Search for justice, don't live there anymore
And he said
I need
I don't ask much anymore
I found
I found something
And why do you see me in this way?
The way that I did
I gave him the means to the ends
Yes I did
I bothered not to believe in this way
The way that I did
I made him just to see in this way
The way that I did
I need
I don't ask much anymore
I found
Not like I need to depend upon anyone
Since I can see the lack of need for me to be here at all
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up for long I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor
Like I need to defend my own innocence
So what, I did it, I admit it, and I'm pleading the 5th
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up for long I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor
8 minutes from losing it a little bit
5 minutes your description might be starting to fit
3 to go and I'm forgetting all that I've ever known
I won't be standing up for long I better learn how to crawl
Not like I need to depend upon anyone
Since I can see the lack of need for me to be here at all
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up for long I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor
I can't stand up at all
Can't see nothing at all
I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favorite damn disease
And I love the places that we go
And I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
I like the freckles on your chest
And I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you're not impressed
While you put me to the test
I like the white stains on your dress
And I love the way you pass the check
And I love the good times that you wreck
(Good times that you wreck)
And I love your lack of self-respect
While you're passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
(Why not before, you never tried)
(Gone for good, and this is it)
I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favorite damn disease
And I hate the places that we go
And I hate the people that you know
(People that you know)
And I hate the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I hate the powder on your nose
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
(Why not before, you never tried)
I missed you so much
That I begged you to fly and see me
You must've broke down
Coz you finally said that you would
But now that you're here
I just feel like I'm constantly dreaming
Coz something's gotta go wrong
Coz I'm feelin' way too damn good
For 48 hours I don't think that we left my hotel room
Should show you the sights
Coz I'm sure that I said that I would
We gotta make love just one last time in the shower
Well something's gotta go wrong
Coz I'm feelin' way too damn good
And it's like, every time I turn around
I fall in love and find my heart face down and
Where it lands is where it should
This time it's like
The two of us should probably start to fight
Coz something's gotta go wrong
Coz I'm feeling way too damn good, oh
Feelin' way too damn good
Sometimes I think best if left in the memory
It's better kept inside than left for good
Lookin' back each time they tried to tell me
Well something's gotta go wrong
Coz I'm feelin' way too damn good
And it's like, every time I turn around
I fall in love and find my heart face down and
Where it lands is where it should
This time it's like
The two of us should probably start to fight
Coz something's gotta go wrong
Coz I'm feeling way too damn good, oh
Feelin' way too damn good
Oh, oh, feelin' way too damn good
I missed you so much
That I begged you to fly and see me
You must've broke down
Coz you finally said that you would
But now that you're here
I just feel like I'm constantly dreaming
Coz something's gotta go wrong
Coz I'm feelin' way too damn good
And it's like, every time I turn around
I fall in love and find my heart face down and
Where it lands is where it should
This time it's like
The two of us should probably start to fight
Coz something's gotta go wrong
Coz I'm feeling way too damn good, oh, oh
Feelin' way too damn good
(I missed you so much
That I begged you to fly and see me)
Feelin' way too damn good
(I missed you so much
I want take his eyes out
Just for looking at you
Yes I do
I want to take his hands off
Just for touching you
Yes I do
And I want to rip his heart out
Just for hurting you
And I want to break his mind down
Yes I do
And I want to make him
Regret life since the day he met you
Yes I do
And I want to make him
Take back all that he took from you
Yes I do
And I want to rip his heart out
Just for hurting you
And I want to break his mind down
I don't live anymore
I don't love me this way
I don't have wings to fly
I don't have, gone away
I don't have anything
I don't need a space to breathe
I don't hide in sanctity
I don't need what you need
I don't have, have a space to...
I don't claim to know just why
I don't try to pacify
I don't love me just yet
I don't care, gone away
This ones mine
This ones mine
This ones mine
All mine
Not this time I won't deny
This one's mine
All this time
Not this time I won't deny
All this time, Yes it's mine
I don't have anything
I don't need the space to breathe
I don't hide in sanctity
I don't need what you need
I don't have... I don't have...
I don't have... I don't have...
I don't have anything
I don't need the space to breathe
I don't hide in sanctity
I don't need what you need
I don't have... I don't have...
No, I don't guess
I don't sacrifice
And I know
I don't realize
Just how much
I can idolize ... and I know
And then I find it falls back on
On to me, to see, believe
And down onto you, We do, it's true
And I won't beg to stay, to leave, or to believe
A word you say, and then I guess
It all falls back on you
To find out (find out)
What's the deal
And I guess you don't
Simplify
It's just, you had to
Had to take, and I know
There's a fine line between right and wrong
And I know we knew all along
Just how much I can half belong ... and I know
And then I find out it all falls back on you
Cause I'm really up on this
Cause I've seen it before
I asked you to stay
But you said there's no way
I begged-- you call
And you leave me after all
I know I'm not to blame
I know you don't feel the same
Didn't even tell me why
You just left me here to die
I stand, I fall, I bounce off these 4 walls
You laugh, you leave
And you leave me here alone,
Is this how its gonna be
It's fine for you and not for me
Did you even care at all
You stand, I fall
I'm guilty too
forsiring all to you
Well, that's my one sin
Sorry for giving in
Didn't mean to waste your time
Thanks for wasting mine
Could have to tried to let me be
Would you just set me free?
Have I gone all too far?
Have I been here before?
If I have let me know
How it goes
Take her place
And I will
See her face
No reason
Let it slide
And I will
Watch her die...
To run through fields
To find, and I will
Hold, then lead, then lie
And I will... no I won't
Is it now really time?
Can I just give mine,
If I can simply trade
Deal Made
Take her place
And I will
See her face
No reason
Let it slide
And I will
Watch her die...
To run through fields
To find, and I will
Hold, then lead, then lie
And I will... no I won't
Run, hide away from me
Desouled, to seek, decide
And I will, no I won't
Run through fields to find
Hold then lead, then lie
And I will
Run, desouled, and
Hold, to heal, to find
Cherry Stem in her mouth she could tie in a knot
Favorite trick she does, One in ten that she's got
Making friends, setting trends, hardly having to try
All the looks, by the book, best that money can buy
Look what your money bought
It's all that she's got
It keeps her company
Straight from Mom and Daddy
Last chance to dance, our in back of the bar
Shakin' hands, nice to meet you, I don't know who you are
She has a toke and makes a joke about the alley man
Never pleasured from the treasure in a garbage can
Look what your money bought
It's all that she's got
It keeps her company
Straight from Mom and Daddy
Cherry Stem in her mouth she could tie in a knot
Favorite trick she does, One in ten that she's got
Making friends, setting trends, hardly having to try
All the looks, by the book, best that money can buy
I want to take his eyes out
Just for looking at you
Yes I do
I want to take his hands off
Just for touching you
Yes I do
And I want to rip his heart out
Just for hurting you
And I want to break his mind down
Yes I do
And I want to make him
Regret life since the day he met you
Yes I do
And I want to make him
Take back all that he took from you
Yes I do
And I want to rip his heart out
Just for hurting you
And I want to break his mind down
Lost it on the chesterfield
Or maybe on a gamblin wheel
Lost it in a diamond mine
It's dark as hell and hard to find
You can climb to the top of the highest tree
You can look around, but you still won't see
What I'm lookin for
Where the good times gone?
Where the good times gone?
All the stupid fun
And all that shit we've done
Where the good times gone?
Well I still don't know
Out in the back in the old corn field
Underneath the tractor wheel
Thought I'd dig, til I'd found it first
Broke my back and died of thirst
You can bribe the devil, you can pray to God
You can sell off everything you got
And you still won't know
Where the good times gone?
Where the good times gone?
All the stupid fun
And all that shit we've done
Where the good times gone?
And you still don't know
Saw it on the silver screen
Preacher says, "don't know what it means"
Last page ad in a comic book
Bought me a map, showed me where to look
It ain't carved of stone or made of wood
And if you paid for it, then it's still no good
And you still won't know
What I'm looking for
Where the good times gone?
Where the good times gone?
All the stupid fun
And all that shit we've done
You say you don't want it
Just watch and you'll flaunt it
You stare at the ceiling
And ignore what I'm feeling
Well that's fine, hey I don't mind
I can find nothing wrong with it
And you say in your polite way
Oh, by the way can you get on with it?
Now that I've seen
Not really diggin' this
Did I ask for your input?
How's the taste of your own foot?
To speak and not be right
You'd like to just rewrite
My life and take what you like
And decide with all of it
And to know that if it goes right
You'll never find out if I wanted it
Now that I've seen
Not really diggin' this
Now that I know
Not really diggin' this
I called him twice today
They said he went away
I never wondered why
They tried to hold him, hold him
Ain't never comin' back
Pull out the welcome mat
I never wondered why
They tried to hold him, hold him
The way that it's goin'
To laugh without knowin'
The way that I'm feelin'
Inside is unappealin'
Well that's fine, hey I don't mind
I can find nothing wrong with it
And you say in your polite way
Oh, by the way can you get on with it?
Now that I've seen
Not really diggin' this
Now that I know
Not really diggin' this
Come lie next to me Jesus Christ
Holes in hand where a cross used to fit just right
The meeting called, the topic: a ladies fate
You don't have to remind me
I won't be late
Please excuse me, I'm sorry I just can't wait
And don't use grandfather as the bait
Down the hall the baby boy just born
Rosary around a crown of thorns
Please excuse me, I'm sorry I just can't wait
And don't use grandfather as the bait
Can't you see the lady's not ready
hands and feet are bound and unsteady
In the hall the family's grieving
I'm the one who stays
Tell your friends not to think aloud
Until they swallow
Whisper things into my brain
Your voice sounds so hollow
I am not a leader of men
Since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink
Since it's so hard to swallow
So hard to swallow
So turn the television off
and I will sing a song
And if you suddenly have the urge
You can sing along
I touch your hand, I touch your face
I think the fruit is rotten
Give me lessons on how to breath
Cause I think I've forgotten
I think I've forgotten
One day, up to a cliff
That overlooked the water
I jumped in to save a girl
It was somebody's daughter
And now the ring is on my hand
It was given to me by her
To this day we all sit around
And dream of ways to get higher
All men with stars upon the chest
Save yourselves, your family,
don't worry 'bout the rest
Small child receives light through the crack
The human mile, they're never coming back
Hold out your hand and ask for some
Now and again she sits beneath the tree
The sign above reads
Hard Work will Set you Free
Hold out your hand and ask for some
Too late for another direction
Always what we've got in store
Hurry back we've all been waiting
We can't take much anymore
Where are the days where brothers are brothers
A childless mother
Forevers a lonely time and the dogs aren't always
Aren't always on my mind
Cause I didn't free them
The scenery is burning me cause I'm still in it
So why don't you free me
Cause its not my business
What he's done to me
Control is all you really need
And I guess I had it coming, my fault for not runnin
I just dressed too tempting cause your heads fuckin empty
And I can't believe it
I can't believe that you didn't see me
Passing glances fall on my like screams on deaf ears
They're all laughing at me with encouraging cheers.
I saw the river, just pulled him down
I knew the man who hunted him down
We watched the river, take him away
Before he died, I could have sworn he said
I am the only one
I am the only one left
Tired and afraid lies a saddened man
Knelt beside him with head in hand
And escaped on a lonely breath
But before he died I could have sworn he said
I am the only one
I am the only one left
Who ever gave a damn about you
I am sorry
I am sorry
I was wrong
I was wrong
I've been wrong for way too long
Bribing me, We come, We watched how
We're last to throw our pennies
A passive tramps lifts her skirt
And asks us then we throw them down to her
And I know why I will always follow you
Anywhere my brother leads me to
We don't want to live in the sun
Just to keep them happy for awhile
Midnight, and Frank freaks out and reaches God and
Fairly tied up too
But I know why I will always follow you
Anywhere my brother leads me to
And I remember wanting to be you
And pray to God that we would all pull through
Cause I know why I will always follow you
If you're my brother, then I will follow you
Lifelong friends threw bottle ends
And then yell in the air like lifelong enemies
Who's stronger, who's lived longer?
World quarrels and grand kids on your knee
Cause I know I will always follow you
Anywhere my brother leads me to
And I remember wanting to be you
And pray to God that we would all pull through
Cause I know why I will always follow you
If you're my brother, then I will follow you
Cause I know I will always follow you
Anywhere my brother leads me to
Cause I know why I will always follow
I will follow you and I will
I know why I will always follow
Since the moment I spotted you
Like runnin' around with little wings on my shoes
My stomach's filled with butterflies, and it's alright
Bouncin' round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down
If I said I didn't like it then you'd know I lied
Every time I try to talk to you
I get tongue tied
Turns out everything I say to you
Comes out wrong, and never comes out right
So I'll say why don't you and I get together
Take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
And I'll say why don't you and I hold each other
Fly to the moon and straight onto heaven
Cause without you they're never gonna let me in
When's this fever gonna break?
I think I've handled more than any man can take
I'm like a lovesick puppy chasing you around, and it's alright
Bouncin' round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down
If I said I didn't like it then you'd know I lied
Every time I try to talk to you
I get tongue tied
Turns out everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'll say why don't you and I get together
Take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
And I'll say why don't you and I hold each other
Fly to the moon and straight onto heaven
Cause without you they're never gonna let me in
And slowly I begin to realize this is never gonna end
And right about the same time you walk by and I say
Oh here we go again.. oh
Every time I try to talk to you
I get tongue tied
Turns out everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'll say why don't you and I get together
Take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
And I'll say why don't you and I hold each other
Fly to the moon and straight onto heaven
Cause without you they're never gonna let me in
Father's hands were lined with dirt
From long days in the field
And mother's hands are serving meals
In a cafe on Main Street
With mouths to feed
Just trying to keep clothing on our backs
And all I hear about is
How it's so bad, it's so bad
It's too bad, its stupid
Too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind
Let's walk, let's talk
Let's talk
You left without saying goodbye
Although I'm sure you tried
You call the house from time to time
To make sure we're alive
But you weren't there
Right when I needed you the most
And now I dream about it
How it's so bad, it's so bad
It's too bad, It's stupid
Too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind
Let's walk, let's talk
Let's talk
Father's hands are lined with guilt
from tearing us apart
Guess it turned out in the end
Just look at where we are
we Made it out, still got clothing on our backs
And now I scream about it
How it's so bad, it's so bad
It's too bad, it's stupid
Too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind
Let's walk, let's talk
Let's talk
No time, last one, let's go.
i am so high i can hear heaven
i am so high i can hear heaven
over heaven,no heaven doubt in me
Chorus
And they say that a hero can save us
i'm not gonna stand hear and wait
i'll hold on to the wings of the heroes
and watch as we all fly away
someone told me that love would all save us
but how can that be when look what love gave us
a world full of killing and blood spilling
and that world never came
Chorus
and now that the world hasn't ended
it's love that im sending to you
here is the love of a hero
and that's why i fear it won't do

Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing’
Tired of living’ like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling’
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me of what I really am
This is how you remind me of what I really am
It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking’
And I've been wrong, I've been down
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream, "Are we having fun yet?"
ya, ya, ya, no no
Ya,ya, ya, no no
It's not like you didn't know that
I said I love you and I swear I still do
And it must have been so bad
Cause living with me must have damn near killed you
And this is how you remind me of what I really am
This is how you remind me of what I really am
It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
And I've been wrong, I've been down
been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream,"Are we having fun yet?"
Ya, ya, ya, no no

Ya, ya
I reside in 209, you're in 208
You moved in last Friday night,
and I just couldn't wait
So I tried to call across the hall,
to ask you out someday
But a lineup formed outside your door, and I was way too late
Well I'd rather start off slow
This whole thing's like
some sort of race
Instead of winning what I want
I'm sitting here in second place
Because somewhere
the one I wanna be with's
with somebody else
Oh god, I wanna be that
someone that you're with
I wanna be that someone
that you're with
And I can talk about it all day long
'til I run out of breath
But I still wanna be that
someone that you're with
I've got to be that
someone that you're with
And I'm pacing by the phone
'Cause I hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him
somewhere and just about to kiss
God I wanna be that
someone that you're with
Well I hear your favorite songs
you sing along with everyday
And I borrow things that
I don't need for conversation sake
Last night I heard your key,
it hit your lock at 4 AM
Instead of being out with me
you must be out with them
Because somewhere the one
I wanna be with's
with somebody else
Oh god, I wanna be that
someone that you're with
I wanna be that
someone that you're with
And I can talk about it all day long
'til I run out of breath
But I still wanna be that
someone that you're with
I've got to be that
someone that you're with
And I'm pacing by the phone
'Cause I hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him
somewhere and just about to kiss
God, I wanna be that
someone that you're with
Well somewhere the one
I wanna be with's
with somebody else
Oh god, I wanna be that
someone that you're with
And I can talk about it all day long
'til I run out of breath
But I still wanna be that
someone that you're with
I've got to be that
someone that you're with
And I'm pacing by the phone
'Cause I hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him
somewhere and just about to kiss
God, I've got to be that
someone that
I wanna be that someone that
I've got to be that
How the hell did we wind up like this?
Why weren’t we able?
To see the signs that we missed
try to turn the tables.
I wish you would unclench your fists,
And unpack your suitcase
lately theres been to much of this
but don’t think its too late
Chorus:
nothings wrong
just as long
as you know that someday I will
someday
some how
gonna make it alright, but not right now
I know you’re wondering when
(you’re the only one that knows that)
someday
some how
gonna make it alright, but not right now
I know you’re wondering when
well I’d hope that since we’re here anyway
we can end up saying
things that we always needed to say
so we can end up staying
now the stories played out like this
just like a paperback novel
lets re-write an ending that fits
instead of a hollywood horror
Chorus

Take away from me
That what you just gave
Nothing left to heal
Nothing left to save
Given half a chance
Given what we've spent
I will not repay
I will not repent
I don't wanna leave
I don't wanna stay
Get away from me
Stay the hell away
And I will give up my mind
And I will give my way
And I will pluck out my eyes
Yes I will feel my way
Yes I will
Is there something wrong
With the way I feel
I don't wanna beg
I don't have to steal
Let me prove myself
Let me earn your trust
Let me betray
The way that we discussed
I don't want to thieve
I don't want to snatch
Get away from me
Stay the hell away
And I will give up my mind
And I will give my way
And I will pluck out my eyes
Yes I will feel my way
Yes I will
In open hand, unopened gift
Her broken bones, her head won't lift
A decade since you've been gone
Mend the cracks and say so long
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story

He's drunk again
It's time to fight
She must have done something wrong tonight
The living room becomes a boxing ring
It's time to run when you see him
Clenching his hands
She's just a woman
Never again
I hear her scream from down the hall
Amazing she can even talk at all
She cries to me
Go back to bed
I'm terrified that she'll wind up
Dead in his hands
She's just a woman
But never again
Been there before
But not like this
Seen it before
But not like this
Never before
Have I ever seen it this bad
She's just a woman
Never again
Just tell the nurse you slipped and fell
It starts to sting as it starts to swell
She looks at you
She wants the truth
It's right out there in the waiting room
With those hands
Lookin' just as sweet as he can
Never again
Seen it before
But not like this
Been there before
But not like this
Never before
Have I ever seen it this bad
She's just a woman
Never again
Never again
Father's a name you haven't earned yet
You're just a child with a temper
Haven't you heard, don't hit a lady
Kickin' your ass would be a pleasure
He's drunk again it's time to fight
Same old shit just on a different night
She grabs the gun
She's had enough
Tonight she'll find out
How fucking tough
Is this man
Pulls the trigger fast as she can
Never again
Seen it before
But not like this
Been there before
But not like this
Never before
Have I ever seen it this bad
She's just a woman
Never again
Seen it before
But not like this
Been there before
But not like this
Never before
Have I ever seen it this bad
She's just a woman
Never again
Never again
Never again
As I sift and drift through bullshit,
That plagues from day to day,
Would you ever really notice I've gone away?
CHORUS
I'm over the wall,
Over the hill,
Over at your place,
I'm over the safetys,
Over the phone calls,
Over the rage,
What a mistake.
When you've lost the stones to throw,
The ones I found to make a fire,
And all the lonely souls that say so get fired.
CHORUS
What a mistake,
What a mistake,
What a mistake,
What a mistake,
I've never been lost,
I've never been found,
And it make no difference, if I'm around,
There's never been words, there's never been actions
I've never been promises that i've never kept.
CHORUS
Interlude by both Chad & Ryan:
I just can't seem to get out of this,
Pulling on the threads,
I'm always pulling on the threads,
I'm always pulling on the threads,
What a mistake, mistake.
So as i sift and drift through bullshit,
That plagues from day to day,
Would you ever really notice I've gone away?
Tell your friends not to think out loud
Until they swallow
Whisper things into my brain
Your voice sounds so hollow
I am not a leader of men
Since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink
Since it's so hard to swallow
Yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaah
So hard to swallow
Turn your television off
And I will sing a song
If you suddenly have the urge
You can sing along
I touch your hand I touch your face
I think the fruit is rotten
Give me lessons on how to breathe
Cause I think I've forgotten
Yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaah
Think I've forgotten
One day, up to a cliff
That overlooks the water
I jumped in to save a girl
It was somebody's daughter
And now the ring is on my hand
Was given to me by her
And To this day we all sit around
And dream of ways to get higher
Yeeeaaeeeeaaaeeeaaaaaah
To get much higher
Uuuuuuuhhhhhhh!!!
Tell your friends not to think out loud
Until they swallow
Whisper things into my brain
Your voice sounds so hollow
Yeeeaaah
I am not a leader of men
Since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink
Since it's so hard to swallow
Yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaah
So hard to swallow
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing’
Tired of living’ like a blind man

And if forever never comes, then I
And if forever never comes, then I
And if forever never comes, then I
I'll hold on, and hold on…
I keep listening to my chest
For a beat, but there's nothing left
It's been a week since I've seen you
And I still can't believe it
'Cause I'm dying inside alone
And every day we gotta be apart
I'm like a baby with a broken heart
But the second that I see you
You will know how much I need you
'Cause I never be lettin' you go[Well you know I]
I'm lost without you
And there's nothing I can do
You're the one I can't go without
But by holding onto you
Then I'll be holding on forever
I've got you now but
Not letting go of you
Never be together long enough
'Cause every moment I'm with you
It's like I'm holding onto Heaven
And if forever never comes, then I
And if forever never comes, then I
And if forever never comes, then I
I'll hold on, and hold on…
And if I can write a symphony
Baby you would be my melody
And you would flow like a river
Slowly going on forever
Like a feather that's blowin' away
Like every woman needs a fairy tale
Like every mother's love that never fails
Like every game that needs a player
Every sinner needs a savior
I'm a villian your willing to save[Well you know I]
I'm lost without you
And there's nothing I can do
You're the one I can't go without
But by holding onto you
Then I'll be holding on forever
I've got you now but
Not letting go of you
Never be together long enough
'Cause every moment I'm with you
It's like I'm holding onto Heaven
And I'm willing to wait
Just to see you another day
What I'm waiting for
Wash..this…pain..away
And it's never too late[Never too late..]
And if forever never comes, then I
And if forever never comes, then I
And if forever never comes, then I
I'll hold on, and hold on…[Well you know I]
I'm lost without you
And there's nothing I can do
You're the one I can't go without
But by holding onto you
Then I'll be holding on forever
I got you now but
Not letting go of you
Never be together long enough
'Cause every moment I'm with you
It's like I'm holding onto Heaven
And if forever never comes, then I
And if forever never comes, then I
And if forever never comes, then I
'Cause every moment I'm with you
It's like I'm holding onto Heaven
And if forever never comes, then I
And if forever never comes, then I
And if forever never comes, then I
'Cause every moment I'm with you
I am so high
I can hear heaven
I am so high
I can hear heaven
But heaven, no heaven don't hear me
And they say that a hero can save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles
Watch as they all fly away
Someone told me love will all save us
But how can that be, look what love gave us
A world full of killing, and blood-spilling
That world never came
And they say that a hero can save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles
Watch as they all fly away
Now that the world isn't ending
Its love that I'm sending to you
Is in the love of a hero
And that's why I fear it won't do
And they say that a hero can save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles
Watch as they all fly away
And they're watching us
(Watching Us)
As they all fly away
And they're watching us
(Watching Us)
As we all fly away. (Ya-a-a)
And they're watchin us
(watching us)
As we all fly away. (ya-ya) (woh yaaaa)
i like your pants around your feet
i like the dirt thats on your knees
i like the way you still say please
while your looking up at me
your like my faviourite damn disease
i love the places that we go
i love the people that you know
i love the way you cant say no
too many long nights in a row
i love the powder on your nose
and now i know who you are
it wasnt that hard
just to figure u out
and now i know who you are
it wasnt that hard
just to figure u out
i like the freecles on ur chest
i liket he way u like me best
i like the way ur not impressed
while u put me to the test
i like the wine stains on ur dress
i love the way u pass the cheque
i love the good times that u reck
i love your lack of self respect
when youre past out on the deck
i love my hands around ur neck
now i know who you are
it wasnt that hard
just to figure u out
and now i know who you are
it wasnt that hard
just to figure u out
i like your pants around your feet
i like the dirt thats on your knees
i like the way you still say please
while your looking up at me
your like my faviourite damn disease
and i hate the places that we go
i hate the people that you know
i hate the way you cant say no
too many long nights in a row
i hate the powder on your nose
And you see much better than I see
And you know all that I'm thinking
To define or redefine too slow
And it seems all that I'm sinking
Running through the deep
Gonna find the backwoods
I found out
All day long who will be the big men giving some
And you bleed much better than I bleed
And you've shown all that is so good
And your word, much better than my word
And you stand right where a hole should
Running through the deep
Gonna find the backwoods
I found out
All day long who will be the big men giving some
To feel devine
To hold onto ones self
To give and to give and
To never receive by myself
Running through the deep (I want it)
Gonna find the backwoods (I need it)
I found out (much more than he did)
All day long who will be the big men giving some
(give it back somehow)
Giving some (I'm ready to forgive now)
Running through the deep
Gonna find the backwoods
I found out
All day long who will be the big men giving some
Running through the deep gonna find the back backwoods
I found out gonna get it gonna get it
All day long who will be the big men
They usually come around about 10 o'clock
You can hear them
You can tell them by the way they knock
Somebody said the other one had a badge
Who told you? Who told you?
How 'bout if I stay and you run away
Well come on back and try to get some today
Well somebody's gonna do it again
Gonna make me turn against all of my friends
So you better have something damn worthy to say
They're growin' dope everywhere around the block
You can smell it
You can tell by the way they talk
Somebody stole five for gasoline
Who told you? Who told you?
How 'bout if I stay and you run away
Well come on back and try to get some today
Well somebody's gonna do it again
Gonna make me turn against all of my friends
So you better have something damn worthy to say
I'll never do it again
(No I won't)
Let's settle it
(We don't)
I can't afford my life 'cause I'm spendin' it
Since you got just what you wanted
We never do anything anymore
One on the telephone, one on the door
Somebody said revenge was served sweeter cold
I told you, I told you
They're growin' dope everywhere around the block
You can smell it you can tell it by the way they talk
Somebody stole five for gasoline
Who told you? Who told you?
How 'bout if I stay and you run away
Well come on back and try to get some today
Well somebody's gonna do it again
Gonna make me turn against all of my friends
So you better have something damn worthy to say
I'll never do it again
(No I won't)
Let's settle it
(We don't)
I can't afford my life 'cause I'm spending it
Since you got just what you wanted
I'll never do it again
(No I won't)
Praise myself
(I don't)
I can't afford my life 'cause I'm spending it
Since you got just what you wanted
What you wanted, what you wanted
Forevers a lonely time and the dogs aren't always
Aren't always on my mind
Cause I didn't free them
The scenery is burning me cause I'm still in it
So why don't you free me
Cause its not my business
What he's done to me
Control is all you really need
And I guess I had it coming,
my fault for not runnin
I just dressed too tempting
cause your heads fuckin empty
And I can't believe it
I can't believe that you didn't see me
Passing glances fall on me
like screams on deaf ears
They're all laughing at me
Got a criminal record, I can't cross state lines
First on the bad list, and you're last on mine
Lookin for a scapegoat, long past due
Walking down the aisle, staring straight at you
I still hear him screaming "where do I hide?"
And he asks and I say "hurry inside"
He said, she said, No she don't
Be back before morning, You know she won't
I remember that summer, like yesterday
And I remember his mother, As he was dragged away
I still hear him screaming "where do I hide?"
And he asks and I say "hurry inside"
A whole lot of memories
Yours and not mine
And he asks and I say "hurry inside"
Got a criminal record, I can't cross state lines
First on the bad list, and you're last on mine
Lookin for a scapegoat, long past due
Walking down the aisle, staring straight at you
I still hear him screaming "where do I hide?"
And he asks and I say "hurry inside"
A whole lot of memories
Yours and not mine
I was wrong to think that I could ever trust in you,
I was wrong to think that you might want to trust me, too.
Here I am, here I am,
Here I stand,
Here I am, here I am, here I am, here I stand.
I was wrong to think that I could ever love in you,
I was wrong to think that you might want to love me, too.
Here I am, here I am,
Here I stand,
Here I am, here I am, here I am, here I stand.
So where the hell are you?
So where the hell are you?
So where are you when I need someone, too?
Oh, looking like another Bob Marley day
Hitting from the bong like a diesel train
And now we're hanging out this afternoon
We got weeds in the backyard, four feet tall
Cheech and Chong probably would have smoked them all
So, I'm on the couch this afternoon
Beer bottles laying on the kitchen floor
If we take them out back, we can buy some more
So I doubt we're going out this afternoon, oh
Better hang on if you're tagging along
'Cause we'll be doing this till six in the morning
Nothing wrong with going all night long
Time to put the brakes on, doesn't matter when you gotta
Get up and go out, me and all my friends
Drink up, fall down, we'll do it all again
Just sitting around, hanging out this afternoon
Landlord says I should buy a tent
But he can kiss my ass 'cause I paid the rent
So I doubt, he'll kick me out this afternoon
Down on the corner in a seedy bar
Jukebox cranking out the CCR
Had a few to Suzie Q this afternoon, oh
Better hang on if you're tagging along
'Cause we'll be doing this till six in the morning
Nothing wrong with going all night long
Time to put the brakes on, doesn't matter when you gotta
Get up and go out, me and all my friends
Drink up, fall down, we'll do it all again
Get up, go out, me and all my friends
Drink up, fall down, we'll do it all again, yeah
Just sitting around, hanging out this afternoon
Wear a wristwatch and alarm clock to see what time it ends
From the moment I wake up, I just love being with my friends
We barely get by, but have the best times and hope it never ends
We drink all day until we fall down, so we can do it all again
It's not a human walk, it's the human race
If we were living on the edge, taking too much space
So I'll doubt I'll figure out just what to do
But to kicking around, hanging out this afternoon, oh
Better hang on if you're tagging along
'Cause we'll be doing this till six in the morning
Nothing wrong with going all night long
Time to put the brakes on, doesn't matter when you gotta
Get up and go out, me and all my friends
Drink up and fall down, we'll do it all again, yeah
Get up and go out, me and all my friends
Drink up and fall down, we'll do it all again
Just sitting around, hanging out this afternoon
Just sitting around, hanging out this afternoon
Just sitting around, hanging out this afternoon
Just sitting around, hanging out this afternoon
Just sitting around, hanging out this afternoon
(V1)
You call to me, and I fall at your feet
How could anyone ask for more?
And our time apart, like knives in my heart
How could anyone ask for more?
(Chorus)
But if there's a pill to help me forget,
God knows I haven't found it yet
But I'm dying to, God I'm trying to
'Cause trying not to love you, only goes so far
Trying not to need you, is tearing me apart
Can't see the silver lining, from down here on the floor
And I just keep on trying, but I don't know what for
'Cause trying not to love you
Only makes me love you more
Only makes me love you more
(V2)
And this kind of pain, only time takes away
That's why it's harder to let you go
And nothing I can do, without thinking of you
That's why it's harder to let you go
(Chorus)
But if there's a pill to help me forget,
God knows I haven't found it yet
But I'm dying to, God I'm trying to
'Cause trying not to love you, only goes so far
Trying not to need you, is tearing me apart
Can't see the silver lining, from down here on the floor
And I just keep on trying, but I don't know what for
'Cause trying not to love you
Only makes me love you more
(Bridge)
So I sit here divided, just talking to myself
Was it something that I did?
Was there somebody else?
When a voice from behind me, that was fighting back tears
Sat right down beside me, and whispered right in my ear
Tonight I'm dying to tell you
That trying not to love you, only went so far
Trying not to need you, was tearing me apart
Now I see the silver lining, from what we're fighting for
And if we just keep on trying, we could be much more
'Cause trying not to love you
Oh, yeah, trying not to love you
Only makes me love you more
Children all have saviors
Children don't care who saves us
Round the corner, round the bend
Fingernails torn to the end
Bring back, bring back
Bring back, bring back on me
On me
I told them, we scold them
Can't console them always
Toy soldiers falling
Dominoes, but who knows?
Bring back, bring back
Bring back, bring back on me
On me
Yeah and I dream of falling stars
And tokes for all my friends
And I will live forever
Yeah and I dream of all I'm worth
And all along the way
And I will never even
Yeah and I will coast through falling prayers
And all along the way
And I will always listen
Bring back, bring back (I)
Bring back, bring back (Or)
Bring back, bring back (We)
On me....
Bring it back, bring it back on
Bring it back, bring it back on

Got to meet the hottie with the million dollar body
They say it's over budget, but you'd pay her just to touch it, come on!
Needs to hit the big screen and shoot a little love scene
If Hollywood had called her she'd be gone before you holler, come on!
Dirty little lady with the pretty pink thong
Every sugar daddy hitting on her all night long
Doesn't care about the money, she could be with anybody
Ain't it funny how the honey wanted you all along!
(You naughty thing)
You're ripping up the dance floor honey
(You naughty woman)
You shake your ass around for everyone
(You're such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb
You're so much cooler when you never pull it out
'Cause you look so much cuter with something in your mouth
Crafty little lip tricks, tattoos on her left hip
She's bending as you're spending, there's no end to it, so baby come on!
Dressed up like a princess, betting that her skin smells
Better than the scent of every flower in the desert, come on!
Dirty little lady with the pretty pink thong
Every sugar daddy hitting on her all night long
Doesn't care about the money, she could be with anybody
Ain't it funny how the honey wanted you all along!
(You naughty thing)
You're ripping up the dance floor honey
(You naughty woman)
You shake your ass around for everyone
(You're such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb
You're so much cooler when you never pull it out
'Cause you look so much cuter with something in your mouth
She loves the night scene, bar queen, just living for the fun
Taking over every dance floor like she's the only one
In the spotlight, all night, kissing everyone
And trying to look so innocent while sucking on her thumb
(So much cooler)
When you never pull it out
(So much cuter)
With something in your mouth!
(You naughty thing)
You're ripping up the dance floor honey
(You naughty woman)
You shake your ass around for everyone!
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb
(You naughty thing)
You're ripping up the dance floor honey
(You naughty woman)
You shake that ass around for everyone
(You're such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb
You're so much cooler when you never pull it out
Uncle Sam taught him to shoot
Maybe a little too well
Finger on the trigger, loaded bullet
He hit the stage so full of rage
And let the whole world know it
Six feet away, they heard him say
?Oh God, don?t let him pull it?
Please God, don?t let him pull it
How could you put us through it?
His brother watched you do it
How could you take his life away?
(What made you think you had the right?)
How could you be so full of hate?
(To take away somebody's life)
And when I heard you let him die
And made the world all wonder why
I sat at home and on my own I cried alone
I scratched your name in the side of a bullet
And in the wake of his mistake
So many lives are broken
Gone forever from a loaded bullet
And no excuse you could use
Could pull somebody through it
And to this day so many say
?God, why?d you let him do it??
How could you let him do it?
How could you put us through it?
His brother watched him do it
How could you take his life away?
(What made you think you had the right?)
How could you be so full of hate?
(To take away somebody's life)
And when I heard you let him die
And made the world all wonder why
I sat at home and cried alone and on my own
I scratched your name in the side of a bullet
How could you take his life away?
(What made you think you had the right?)
How could you be so full of hate?
(To take away somebody's life)
And when I heard you let him die
And made the world all wonder why
I sat at home and cried alone and on my own
I scratched your name in the side of a bullet
On the side of a bullet
On the side of a bullet
On the side of a bullet
Best of friends where'd they all go
Try and find but no one ever knows
This small town makes you wanna stay
Who the hell would want to anyway
Well I'm leaving
And I want it all
Thought I got
Better find this all
And I found out where it's all at
And I want it all
Thought I got
Better find this all
And I found out where it's all at
Better now than I'm before
Tried it once now I want it more
Memories all cut in half
Tell the truth then I want you to laugh
We're not laughing
Burn it all
Watch and learn
Sell it all watch and learn
Sell it all watch it burn
Steal a car
We're all headed south
You know the score so just shut your mouth
One more run then I want out
Not like them I'd rather go without
Without needing
Well I knew it all
Forgot it all
Better find this all
It's getting late I haven't seen my date
So tell me when the boys get here
It's seven o'clock and I want to rock
Want to get a belly full of beer
My old man's drunker than a bar full of winos
And his old lady she don't care
My sisters lookin' cute in her braces and boots
And a handful of grease in her hair
Oh don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this town alight
Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright alright alright, oh oh oh
P-p-p-p-packed pretty tight in here tonight
I'm looking for a woman to treat me right
I could use a little muscle to get what I need
I'll drink a fifth of jack and scream out, "She's with me"
A couple of the sounds that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
And I'm a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats from the bottom of a glass
Don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this town alight
Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright alright alright, oh oh oh
Oh don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this town alight
Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright
Ooh Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday night's alright
Ooh Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday night's alright
Ooh Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red?
And what the hell is on Joey's head?
And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out
And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I've broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it's too late
Should I go back and try to graduate?
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in
Oh oh oh
Oh God I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye
Remember the old arcade?
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hanging out
They said somebody went and burned it down
We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how if feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel
Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since God knows when
Oh oh oh
Oh God I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
I miss that town
I miss their faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it
If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change
Every memory of looking out the back door
I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
Every time I do it makes me
Time, is going by, so much faster than I
And I'm starting to regret not spending all of here with you
Now I'm wondering why I've kept this bottled inside
So I'm starting to regret not selling all of it to you
So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know
You're never gonna be alone from this moment on
If you ever feel like letting go, I won't let you fall
You're never gonna be alone, I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone
And now, as long as I can, I'm holding on with both hands
'Cause forever I believe
That there's nothing I could need but you
So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know
You're never gonna be alone from this moment on
If you ever feel like letting go, I won't let you fall
When all hope is gone, I know that you can carry on
We're gonna see the world out, I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone
Oh, you've gotta live every single day
Like it's the only one, what if tomorrow never comes?
Don't let it slip away, could be our only one
You know it's only just begun, every single day
Maybe our only one, what if tomorrow never comes?
Tomorrow never comes
Time is going by so much faster than I
And I'm starting to regret not telling all of this to you
You're never gonna be alone from this moment on
If you ever feel like letting go, I won't let you fall
When all hope is gone, I know that you can carry on
We're gonna see the world out, I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone
I'm gonna be there always
I won't be missing a word all day
I'm gonna be there always
Cherry stem in her mouth, she could tie in a knot
Favorite trick she does, one of ten that she's got
Makin' friends, setting trends, hardly having to try
All the looks by the book, best that money can buy
Look what your money bought
It's all that she's got
Ooh it keeps her company
Straight from Mom and Daddy
Last chance to dance out in back of the bar
Shakin' hands, nice to meet you, I don't know who you are
She has a toke and makes a joke about the alley man
Never pleasured from the treasure in a garbage can
Look what your money bought
It's all that she's got
Ooh it keeps her company
Straight from Mom and Daddy
Look what your money bought
It's all that she's got
Ooh it keeps her company
Straight from Mom and Daddy
Cherry stem in her mouth, she could tie in a knot
Favorite trick she does, one of ten that she's got
Makin' friends, settin' trends, hardly havin' to try

It's all that she's got
Ooh it keeps her company
Straight from mom and daddy
Look what your money bought
It's all that she's got

I'm in a bar fulla' bikers and a handfulla' junkies
And there's a 50-50 chance that they're planina' jump me,
Anybody drinking here is lucky justa' leave here alive!
OH! Well my favourite little waitress has a holda' my eye,
But there's a shotgun loaded hidden unda' the bar,
Her finga's on the trigger, if anybody gets outta' line!
There's otha' places that are betta' to go,
But I'm addicted to tha' red light show,
Feel like a King and she's my ace in the hole,
And I can't get enough of the things that she does!
She's gunna' be, my, midnight queen,
Lock 'n' load and I'm ready to go!
She's gunna' lick, my, pistol clean,
She's gotta' holda' me and ain't lettin' go!
And I can't get enough of the things that she does!
Well she walks like'a model and she talks like'a trucker,
Doesn't wanna' lollipop but she sure loves a sucker.
They're closin' in around her, I'm cuttin' to the front of the line!
She's got the bottle of Tequila and'a lime for her lips
Laid her body on the bar and put the salt on her hips,
I was lyin' when I told her that I'm only gunna' lick her tonight!
There's otha' places that are betta' to go,

Manhunt to find your daughter
Buried underneath the water
Now they consult a psychic
Find how much I like it
And now I've found a little friend
It's too fast
This won't last
And to touch
Hurts too much
And now I've found a little friend
And now it's just you and me
Borrow one and we will make three
I say we steal one more
Just like we did once before
And now I thought I told her
That she won't get much older
And now I've found a little friend
And now it makes no difference
Cause I am not quite in yet
And now its on the table
Cause she's perfectly able
He was my best friend, I tried to help him
But he traded everything for suffering
And found himself alone
I watched the lying, turn into hiding
With scars on both his lips, his fingertips
Were melted to the bone
But I can still remember
What his face looked like
When I found him in an alley
In the middle of the night
Tell me what you know
Tell me what you gone and done now
Tell me what you know
Tell me what you gone and done now
Gonna do the trick, get it over with
You're better off to take all that
You've got and burn it on the spot
Just to get high
Three days no sleeping, he gave up eating
He sold his mother's rings, she said nothing
And pretended not to know
He started stealing to supply the feeling
Found out he pulled a knife on someone's wife
And held it to her throat
But I can still remember
What his face looked like
When I found him in an alley
In the middle of the night
Tell me what you know
Tell me what you gone and done now
Tell me what you know
Tell me what you gone and done now
Gonna do the trick, get it over with
You're better off to take all that
You've got and burn it on the spot
Just to get high
Tell me what you did, where you gone and hid?
Show me what you really want, was it what you got?
Slowly circle in the drain, throw it all away
Just to get high, high, high, oh
Tell me what you know
Tell me what you gone and done now
Tell me what you know
Tell me what you gone and done now
Gonna do the trick, get it over with
You're better off to take all that
You've got and burn it on the spot
Just to get high
Tell me what did, where you gone and hid?
Show me what you really want, was it what you got?
Slowly circle in the drain, throw it all away
Just to get high, just to get high
Circle in the drain, throw it all away
My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had, if today was your last day?
What if, what if, if today was your last day?
Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the price is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you're never living twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?
And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?
If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothing stand in your way
'Cause the hands of time are never on your side
If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?
And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?
Just one more moment,
Thats all that's needed,
Like wounded soldiers,
In need of healing
Time to be honest
This time I'm pleading
Please don't dwell on it
'Cause I didn't mean it
I can't believe I said
I'd lay our love on the ground,
But it doesn't matter 'cause
I made it up forgive me now
Everyday I spend away
My souls inside out
Gotta be some way
That I can make it up
To you now, somehow
By now you know that,
I'd come for you,
No one but you,
Yes I'd come for you,
But only if you told me to,
And I'd fight for you,
I'd lie its true,
Give my life for you,
You know I'd always come for you
I was blindfolded
But now I'm seeing
My mind was closing
Now I'm believing
I finally know just what it means to let someone in
To see the side of me that no one does or ever will
So if your ever lost and find yourself all alone
I'd search forever just to bring you home
Here and now, this I vow
By now you know that,
I'd come for you,
No one but you,
Yes I'd come for you,
But only if you told me to,
And I'd fight for you,
I'd lie its true,
Give my life for you,
You know I'd always come for you,
You know I'd always come for you
No matter what gets in my way,
As long as there's still life in me,
No matter what remember you know I'd always come for
Yes I'd come for you,
No one but you,
Yes I'd come for you,
But only if you told me to,
And I'd fight for you,
I'd lie its true,
Give my life for you,
You know I'd always come for you,
No matter what gets in my way,
As long as theres still life in me,
No matter what remember you know I'd always come for
you,
I'd crawl across this world for you,
Do anything you want me to,
No matter what remember you know I'd always come for
you,
Please don't be too long, while you're gone
There ain't enough to keep me here too long
Not like the last time, I stood in line
Just enough to keep me bouncing off the wall, yeah
The new day, the new tray that comes around
Pills and all enough to kill him while he sleeps
Is this the alley we dragged him to
Just off of Hollywood and Normandy
It didn't work like she said, "It would"
Just like livin' in Hollywood
Just like a bad dream or so it seems
Just like I'm back in emergency
Oo, it didn't work like she said, "It would"
Just like livin' in Hollywood
Just like a bad dream or so it seems
Just like I'm back in emergency
Please don't be too long, while you're gone
There ain't enough to keep me here too long
Not like the last time, I stood in line
Just enough to keep me bouncing off the wall
Oo, it didn't work like she said, "It would"
Just like livin' in Hollywood
Just like a bad dream or so it seems
Just like I'm back in emergency
Oo, it didn't work like she said, "It would"
Just like livin' in Hollywood
Just like a bad dream or so it seems
My hopes just fell, and I can't see
The reason why, why there is blood on my sleeve
And all this time, I thought it mine
But it's not, it's yours and
It's not worth it for me, gets harder every time call you
This life you lead, like us living in a shiny ballroom
Next time you bleed, right about this time tomorrow
Next time you steal, better ask before you borrow
And I don't see too well, don't sing too well
And so I settle to scream
Just grab your shit, and leave with it
They won't make no statues of you
It's not worth it for me, gets harder every time call you
This life you lead, like us living in a shiny ballroom
Next time you bleed, right about this time tomorrow
Next time you steal, better ask before you borrow
This label "theif", find a better title suited for you
This tidal wave, is coming down upon you
This time I've forgotten
I swear this shit was rotten
This time, I believe it
Cause I've seen the shit you're needin
It's not worth it for me, gets harder every time call you
This life you lead, like us living in a shiny ballroom
Next time you bleed, right about this time tomorrow
Next time you steal, better ask before you borrow
This label "theif", find a better title suited for you
Don't let it end.
Don't let it end.
Don't ever let it end.
Well, I got two tickets to the game.
It would be great if I could take you to this someday.
Well, I'll walk you home when the whole things done.
If you're there, I don't even care which team won.
We could stop at the coffee shop.
And make fun of the cops in the parking lot.
We could laugh as we both pretend that we're not in love and that we're just good friends.
Well, I'm tired of pretending, but I'm terrified of it ending.
I know if not for you there's nothing I could do to ever let it end.
And I know you feel the same way, because you told me drunk on your birthday.
And as you pulled me near, whispered in my ear - don't ever let it end.
Don't let it end.
Don't let it end.
Don't ever let it end.
Saturday I'm gonna take her out.
Because her favorite band is gonna play downtown.
Gonna sing the song we've all heard, about those two young friend who should have fell in love.
Later on we'll cut through the park.
And she can hold my hand because she hate the dark.
And we could laugh as we both pretend that we're not in love and that we're just good friends.
Well, I'm tired of pretending, but I'm terrified of it ending.
I know if not for you there's nothing I could do to ever let it end.
And I know you feel the same way, because you told me drunk on your birthday.
And as you pulled me near, whispered in my ear - don't ever let it end.
(Please promise me that this won't end)
Don't let it end.
Don't let it end.
Don't ever let it end.
Greatest times we ever had, was crazy nights just looking back we can laugh.
You never know where life's gonna go, because we're the only ones who will ever know.
About Sunday night, just her and I.
Sitting side by side in the full moon light.
I pulled her close just to hold her tight and the both of us could tell it just felt right.
She looked at me in the sweetest way.
Like she could tell what the hell I was about to say.
Must have took a while just to find the words cause she cut me off and finally said it first.
Well, I'm tired of pretending, but I'm terrified of it ending.
I know if not for you there's nothing I could do to ever let it end.
Yes, you know I feel the same way, because I told you drunk on my birthday.
And as you pulled me near, whispered in my ear - don't ever let it end.
(Please promise me that this won't end)
Don't let it end.
Don't let it end.
Don't ever let it end.
(Please promise me that this won't end)
Don't let it end.
Don't let it end.
Don't ever let it end.
Don't let it end.
Don't let it end.
Yes he wore a cowboy hat
Each bone broken in his back
All the money and all the gold
Couldn't buy my love at 8 years old
Now I'm in love with a girl thats wrong for me
Ask her, she will disagree
Her father was a small town man
With small time dreams and small town hands
But I was there when there was nobody home
Please believe me when i say i dunno
Gone for good in fact but what does it mean
Within a year they always sold'em but
Easy enough to just look at her
Whole world on a silver platter
What's that? Is that bad for me?
If I would set her conscience free
Won round one but its not over
He don't care cause he don't know her
Too long... it's not the same
If I could lend a hand in shame
But I was there when there was nobody home
Please believe me when i say i dunno
Gone for good infact but what does it mean
Within a year they always sold and bought
You'll always be
So much easier to see
Don't hide from me
That which I've already seen
You lie to me
More than occasionally
Don't lie to me
You lied to me
I'm as high as I'll ever be
I don't mind, Stay and see
They've all gone, Why don't we
Lonely as you and me
I'm as high as I'll ever be
Later on last to see
My past is gone, only from me
I'm alive
But I was there when there was nobody home
Please believe me when I say I dunno
Gone for good infact but what does it mean
Within a year they always sold and bought
Remember when it was me
Driving come down just for me
Well, it's midnight, damn right, we're wound up too tight
I've got a fist full of whiskey, the bottle just bit me
Oh, that shit makes me bat shit crazy
We've got no fear, no doubt, all in balls out
We're going off tonight to kick out every light
Take anything that we want, drink everything in sight
We're going till the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight
We're screaming like demons, swinging from the ceiling
I got a fist full of fifties, tequila just hit me
Oh, we got no class, no taste, no shirt, and shit faced
We got it lined up, shot down, firing back straight crown
We're going off tonight to kick out every light
Take anything that we want, drink everything in sight
We're going till the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight
Ticking like a time bomb, drinking till the night's gone
Well, get you hands off of this glass, last call my ass
Well, no chain, no lock, and this train won't stop
We got no friend, no doubt, all in balls out
We're going off tonight to kick out every light
Take anything that we want, drink everything in sight
We're going till the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight
We're going off tonight to kick out every light
Take anything that we want, drink everything in sight
We're going till the world stops turning
Hands on the mirror, can't get much clearer
Can't make this all go away
Now that you're bleeding you stare at the ceiling
Watch as it all fades away
From what you do, because of you
You know I can't be there
Each time that you call
I swore not to come, but I m here after all
I know by the look that I see in your eye
I won't stand around and I won't watch you die
From what you do, because of you
What you do, what you do
What's become of you?
What you do, what you do
What's become of...?
Now that you did this, you ask for forgiveness
Doctor could you be my priest
You say you're mistaken, but look what you've taken
You laugh as you lie through your teeth
From what you do, Because of you
You know I can't be there
Each time that you call
I swore not to come, but I m here after all
I know by the look that I see in your eye
I won't stand around and I won't watch you die
From what you do, because of you
What you do, what you do
What's become of you?
What you do, what you do
What's become of...?
From what you do...
Hands on the mirror, can't get much clearer
Can't make this all go away
Now that you're bleeding you stare at the ceiling
And watch as it all fades away
From what you do, Because of you
You know I can't be there
Each time that you call
I swore not to come, but I m here after all
I know by the look that I see in your eye
I won't stand around and I won't watch you die
From what you do, because of you
What you do, what you do
What's become of you?
What you do, what you do
Feeling fine, Lets rip out yours instead of mine
And all you need
Are several ways to watch me bleed?
Well, thanks for stoppin' this beating in my chest
It's easier now, and I'm happy like this
Just like this
Even though I ain't coming back now
I didn't mean to seem as though
I was so ungrateful for all you've done here
For yanking out my...
Honestly
You'd fuck your friends for all your needs
And stay the course
No, the universe ain't yours
Well, thanks for stopping this beating in my chest
It's easier now, and I'm happy like this
Just like this
Even though I ain't coming back now
I didn't mean to seem as though
I was so ungrateful for all you've done here
Even though I ain't coming back now
I didn't mean to seem as though
I was so ungrateful for all you've done here
For yanking out my...
And If I could only see this
If I could have one good reason
All my feelings out of season
Am I to thank for yanking out my...
For yanking out my…
Feeling fine, let's rip out yours instead of mine
And all you need
Are several ways to watch me bleed?
Well, thanks for stopping this beating in my chest
It's easier now, and I'm happy like this
Just like this
Even though I ain't coming back now
I didn't mean to seem as though
I was so ungrateful for all you've done here
Even though I ain't coming back now
I didn't mean to seem as though
I was so ungrateful for all you've done here
For yanking out my...
I paid my last respects this mornin' on an early grave
Already said goodbye, nothin' left to say
A tiny church a tiny town and not a tear was spent
Not how I wanted it, I'm hating all of this
Well I'm hating all of this
I'm hating all of this
All of this, all of this
Now I know why I hide my love from you some days
No I don't mind keeping this bottled inside me
You came along and tore this wall down around me
Looks like you found me
Now I know why I felt like shit when I woke up this morning
I've been a loser all my life, I'm not about to change
If you don't like, there's the door, nobody made you stay
There ain't a woman on the planet who can deal with it
Just how I wanted it, I'm hating all of this
Well I'm hating all of this
I'm hating all of this
All of this, all of this
Now I know why I hide my love from you some days
No I don't mind keeping this bottled inside me
You came along and tore this wall down around me
Looks like you found me
Now I know why I felt like shit when I woke up this morning
All of this, all of this
Now I know why I hide my love from you some days
No I don't mind keeping this bottled inside me
You came along and tore this wall down around me
Looks like you found me
One more depending on a prayer
And we all look away
People pretending everywhere
It's just another day
There's bullets flying through the air
And they still carry on
We watch it happen over there
And then just turn it off
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
We must stand together
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
There's no giving in
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
Hand in hand forever
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
That's when we all win
[Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
That's, that's, that's when we all win
That's, that's, that's when we all win
They tell us everything's alright
And we just go along
How can we fall asleep at night
When something's clearly wrong
When we could feed a starving world
With what we throw away
But all we serve are empty words
That always taste the same
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
We must stand together
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
There's no giving in
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
Hand in hand forever
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
That's when we all win
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
That's, that's, that's when we all win
That's, that's, that's when we all win
The right thing to guide us
Is right here inside us
No one can divide us
When the light is nearly gone
But just like a heartbeat
The drumbeat carries on
And the drumbeat carries on
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
We must stand together
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
There's no giving in
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
Hand in hand forever
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
That's when we all win
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
That's, that's, that's when we all win
Fathers hands were lined with dirt
From long days in the field
And mothers hands are serving meals
In a café on Main Street
With mouths to feed
Just trying to keep clothing on our backs
And all I hear about is
how it's so bad, it's so bad
It's too bad, it's too bad
Too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind
Let's walk, let's talk
Let's talk
You left without saying goodbye
Although I'm sure you tried
You call the house from time to time
To make sure we're alive
But you weren't there
Right when I'm needed you the most
And now I dream about it
how it's so bad, it's so bad
Father's hands are lined with guilt
For tearing us apart
Guess it turned out in the end
Just look at where we are
We made it out, we still got clothing on our backs
And now I scream about it
how it's so bad, it's so bad
Baby's born on a bathroom floor
Her mother prays that it'll never cry
But nothing's wrong you've got your prom dress on
When they ask you'll say "it isn't mine"
You know there gonna know you lied
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away?
You know there gonna burn it down
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how god ain't even helping you out
You notice how god ain't even helping you
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away?
You know there gonna burn it down
So keep the way you're feeling anonymous
And hide it all until the day you die
Your secrets safe, at least you thought it was
You can only keep it for a little while
And now you're terrified
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away?
You know there gonna burn it down
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how god ain't even helping you out
You notice how god ain't even helping you
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away?
You know there gonna burn it down
Baby's born on a bathroom floor
Her mother prays that it'll never cry
But nothing's wrong you've got your prom dress on
When they ask you'll say "it isn't mine"
Damn you for thinking we would never know
And damn you for thinking we would never mind
Only reason that you made it this far
You never asked him, but you never tried
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away?
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away?
You know there gonna burn it down
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how god ain't even helping you out
You notice how god ain't even helping you
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away?
Tell your friends not to think out loud until they swallow
Where's the thing to my brain you always sound so hollow
I am not a leader of men since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could every drink since it's so hard to swallow?
Yeah, so hard to swallow
Till you're dead, the vision aloft and I will say that's all
And if you suddenly have the urge, you can sing along
I touch your hand, touch your face, I think the fruit is rotten
Give me glasses, I have to breathe 'cause I think I've forgotten
Yeah, think I've forgotten
One drink after class that overlooks the water
I am dreaming seaman's girl, it was somebody's daughter
Now the rain that's on my head was given to me by her and
To this dream we all sing aloud, and dream of ways to get higher
Yeah, to get much higher
Tell your friends not to think out loud until they swallow
Where's the thing to my brain you always sound so hollow
I am not a leader of men since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could every drink since it's so hard to swallow?
This town is colder now
I think it's sick of us
It's time to make our move
I'm shakin' off the rust
I've got my heart set
on anywhere but here
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years
Steady hands just take the wheel
Every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal for the life I lead
Stop and stare
I think I'm moving, but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be
Ohhh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, can you see what I see
They're tryin' to come back, all my senses push
Untie the weight bags I never thought I could
Steady feet don't fail me now,
I'm a run till you can't walk
But something pulls my focus out, and I'm standing down.
Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone get scared
But I've become what I can't be
Whoa
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, you need
Oh, you need
Oh, you need
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone get scared
I've become what I can't be
How the hell'd we wind up like this?
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try an' turn the tables?
I wish you'd unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
But don't think it's too late
Nothin's wrong
Just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
Gonna make it alright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
Gonna make it alright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
Well I'd hoped that since we're here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up stringing
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror
Nothin's wrong
Just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
Gonna make it alright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow

Well, I start, just broke of a line in your tasteless joke
What?s up with that hutch you?ve stolen
Don?t worry ?cause it?s not broken, it?s just swollen
Could anticipate how you?re feeling from day to day
Well, about you now, that?s your needing
Don?t worry ?cause they?re laughing, and you?re bleeding
Well, I?m drowning your ocean
It?s much cooler in slow motion
Don?t care where you?ve went
When it?s obvious that you bore
I?m not worried ?cause it?s five minutes to your glory
Well, I?m drowning your ocean
It?s much cooler in slow motion
Leave it up to me and I will
Be the one here to see that you stand still
Everyone sees your eyes getting wider
Everyone here, believes you?re a liar
Well, I start just broke of a line in your tasteless joke
Right after you?ve a punched a hole in
Don?t worry ?cause it?s not broken, it?s just swollen
Could anticipate how you?re feeling from day to day
Since it?s obvious that you bore me
I, I?m not worried ?cause it?s five minutes to your glory
Leave it up to me and I will
Be the one here to see that you stand still
Everyone sees your eyes getting wider
There's clothes all over the floor
I don't remember them being here before
Smell of perfume isn't here, why's lipstick on the mirror?
And still I don't understand
No pictures left in the hall, there's three new holes in my wall
Where the hells my credit cards, why's my wallet in the yard
And still I don't understand
Well now I guess I should've listened
When you said you'd had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
In one ear and out the other, whys love gotta be so tough?
Should see the look on my face, my shit's all over the place
Why's this happening to me, why'd you take both sets of keys?
And still I don't understand
Well now I guess I should've listened
When you said you'd had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
In one ear and out the other, Whys love gotta be so tough?
Well now I guess I should've listened
There's clothes all over my floor
I don't remember them being here before
There are no candles in here, lipstick still on my mirror?
And still I don't understand
Now I guess I should've listened
When you said you'd had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
In one ear and out the other, why must life be so tough?
Well now I guess I should've listened
When you said you'd had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
Crowds that scream at superstars
Where bouncers show they're battle scars
I've been the first to sign on every wall
Down the road and round the bend
We pray to god it never ends
I've been, I've seen, we've screamed to everyone
We'll see you at the show
If you don't come we'll never know
You stand off in the back
You still stand out while you wearing black
Jump onto the bus
And ride around with all of us
We'll go out on the town
And light it up till we burn it down, burn it down
After hours and alcohol
Every club, we've seen em all
As long as we don't need to stand in line
Party scenes and billboard dreams
The ladies love those limousines
You know they're gonna show up every time
We'll see you at the show
If you don't come we'll never know
You stand off in the back
You still stand out while you wearing black
Jump onto the bus
And ride around with all of us
We'll go out on the town
And light it up till we burn it down, burn it down
Crowds that scream at superstars
Where bouncers show they're battle scars

Light it up till we burn it down
Light it up till we burn it down
Prison gates won't open up for me
On these hands and knees I'm crawlin'
Oh, I reach for you
Well I'm terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can't hold my soul in
All I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
And say it for me, say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me
Heaven's gates won't open up for me
With these broken wings I'm fallin'
And all I see is you
These city walls ain't got no love for me
I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And oh I scream for you
Come please I'm callin'
And all I need from you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right

Say it if it's worth saving me
Hurry I'm fallin'

Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
Show me what it's like

Say it if it's worth saving me
Hurry I'm fallin'
And say it for me, say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
You know there's a dirty word
Never gonna say it first
No, it's just a thought
That never crosses my mind
Maybe in the parking lot
Better bring your friend along
Better rock together
Than just one at a time
S is for the simplety
E is for the ecstasy
X is just to mark the spot
'Cause that's the one you really want
Yes, sex is always the answer, it's never a question
'Cause the answer's yes, oh the answer's yes
Not just a suggestion, if you ask a question
Then it's always yes, yeah
I'm loving what you wanna wear
I wonder what's up under there
Wonder if I'll ever have it
Under my tongue
I'll love to try to set you free
I love you all over me
Love to hear the sound you make
The second you're done
S is for the simplety
E is for the ecstasy
X is just to mark the spot
'Cause that's the one you really want
Yes, sex is always the answer, it's never a question
'Cause the answer's yes, oh the answer's yes

Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yes)
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yes)
I'm through with standin' in lines to clubs I'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the ninth and I'm never gonna win
This life hasn't turned out
Quite the way I want it to be
(Tell me what you want)
I want a brand new house on an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub
Big enough for ten plus me
(Yeah, so what you need?)
I need a a credit card that's got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet
(Been there, done that)
I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher
And James Dean is fine for me
(So how you gonna do it?)
I'm gonna trade this life
For fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair
And change my name
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses, drivin' fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny with her bleach blond hair
And well, hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs
So I can eat my meals for free
(I'll have the quesadilla, ha, ha)
I'm gonna dress my ass with the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves
To blow my money for me
(So how you gonna do it?)
I'm gonna trade this life
For fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair
And change my name
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses, drivin' fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny with her bleach blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary of today's who's who
They'll get you anything with that evil smile
Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial
Well, hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
I'm gonna sing those songs that offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills from a Pez dispenser
Get washed-up singers writin' all my songs
Lipsynk 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong
Well, we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses, drivin' fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny with her bleach blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary of today's who's who
They'll get you anything with that evil smile
Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial
Well, hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Shes old enough
She knows enough
Shes thrown up
So throw her
Out to me
And I'll treat her like she was mine
Not my belief
You got your way and I'll get mine
And I can't eat
I can't sleep
Oh, But Thank you for coming
And why do we always laugh
While we're in this discussion
Should have known enough
Never grown enough
Alone enough
To know my
Way will be
The path I wanted to try
If it fairs to be
Good for me than I'd rather die
And I can't eat
I can't sleep
Oh, But Thank you for coming
And why do we always laugh
While we're in this discussion
Black words always lead to something
Bury her cause her time was cut thin
All the while you just stood and stared
Never cared to help we just got carried away
Lately it seems like my dreams have started to die
It occured to me on the inside I guess so have I
And I can't eat
I can't sleep
Oh, But Thank you for coming
And why do we always laugh
While we're in the last ones coming
Standing here with my two feet
Enjoy it now cause it won't be
Some way
Some how
The things that keep me alive
I wanna do it till the sun comes up
Till we're both so good and sweaty that we can't stand up
I wanna do it till we're both about to drop
As long as we got it together
Then we're never gonna stop
I wanna go until the neighbors all complain
Because they heard somebody screaming
And they think we're both in pain
I wanna go so long, your parents think you died
They're gonna call the cops, the CIA and then the FBI
Yeah, we're gonna love it when the lights go down
Hold on, here we go
Yeah, we're gonna go until our legs give out
Round and round we go
Yeah, we're gonna do it hanging upside down
Up and down we go
Yeah, we're getting ready for the next go round
Round and round we go
Shut the windows, lock the door, unplug the phone
For all intents and purposes, there ain't nobody home
Then we can do it till the batteries are gone
And borrow two from the TV remote to throw this thing back on
I wanna cover you with Jell-O in the tub
We can roll around for hours without ever coming up
I want you naked with your favorite heels on
Start John Deere across my ass and ride me up and down the lawn
Yeah, we're gonna love it when the lights go down
Hold on, here we go
Yeah, we're gonna go until our legs give out
Round and round we go
Yeah, we're gonna do it hanging upside down
Up and down we go
Yeah, we're getting ready for the next go round
Round and round we go
Yeah, we're gonna love it when the lights go down
Hold on, here we go
Yeah, we're gonna go until our legs give out
Round and round we go
Yeah, we're gonna do it hanging upside down
Up and down we go
Yeah, we're getting ready for the next go round
I judge by what she's wearing
Just how many heads I'm tearing
Off of assholes coming on to her
Each night seems like it's getting worse
And I wish she'd take the night off
So I don't have to fight off
Every asshole coming on to her
It happens every night she works
They'll go and ask the DJ
Find out just what would she say
If they all tried coming on to her
Don't they know it's never going to work
They think they'll get inside her
With every drink they buy her
As they all try coming on to her
This time somebody's getting hurt
Here comes the next contestant
Is that your hand on my girlfriend?
Is that your hand?
I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
There goes the next contestant
I even fear the ladies
They're cool but twice as crazy
Just as bad for coming on to her
Don't they know it's never going to work
Each time she bats an eyelash
Somebody's grabbing her ass
Everyone keeps coming on to her
This time somebody's getting hurt
Here comes the next contestant
Is that your hand on my girlfriend?
Is that your hand?
I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
There goes the next contestant
I'm hating what she's wearing
Everybody here keeps staring
Can't wait 'til they get what they deserve
This time somebody's getting hurt
Here comes the next contestant
Is that your hand on my girlfriend?
Is that your hand?
I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
I wish you'd do it again
Each night seems like it's getting worse
I wish you'd do it again
This time somebody's getting hurt
There goes the next contestant
Well I know the feeling
Of finding yourself stuck out on the ledge
And there ain't no healing
From cutting yourself with the jagged edge
I'm telling you that
Its never that bad
Take it from someone whose been where you're at
Laid out on the floor
And your not sure
You can take this anymore
So just give it one more try
To a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And you can't tell
I'm scared as hell
Cause I can't get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes
Well honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby
Please let me take you
Out of the darkness and into the light
Cause I have faith in you
That you're gonna make it through another night
Stop thinking about
The easy way out
There's no need to go and blow the candle out
Because you're not done
You're far too young
And the best is yet to come
So just give it one more try
To a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And you can't tell
I'm scared as hell
Cause I can't get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes
Well honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby
Well everybody's hit the bottom
And everybody's been forgotten
When everybody's tired of being alone
Yeah everybody's been abandoned
And left a little empty handed
So if you're out there barely hanging on
Just give it one more try
To a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And you can't tell
I'm scared as hell
Cause I can't get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes
Well honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby
Well honey here comes a lullaby
Hey there little darling, where'd the old man gone?
Why don't we get out of town and do it all night long?
We can lie out in the field til the morning light
Then me and your old man are gonna have to fight
Start the loving in the truck and wind up in the ditch
Then the old man will come a runnin' with a hickory switch
Oh, no, gotta learn this some day
Why, I, gotta learn the hard way
Buddy showed me just how fast a car can go
I'll race you for your pink slip right before this show
Put your girlfriend in the bet to make things good
Coz she's been staring at me like no girlfriend should
Bastards sitting right there on the starting line
Stuck the sugar in your gas tank by myself last night
Oh, no, gotta learn this some day
Why, I, gotta learn the hard way
Hey there little darling, where'd the old man go?
Why don't we get out of town and do it all night long?
We can lie out in the field til the morning light
Then me and your old man are gonna have to fight
Start the loving in the truck and wind up in the ditch
The old man will come a-runnin' with a hickory switch
Oh, no, gotta learn this some day
Why, I, gotta learn the hard way
Oh, no, gotta learn this some day
Kiss it goodbye, goodbye
Kiss it goodbye, goodbye
Hollywood is plastic
But easy on the eyes
Big Apple is fantastic
But cuts you down to size
Treat you like a doormat
Expecting you to fail
Says right across your forehead
Integrity for sale
You'll be on TV
When it starts to snow in hell
You won't believe me
So go and see it for yourself
That brunettes move to New York
Blondes go California
East coast digs the cocaine
West coast marijuana
Don't be surprised
When you swallow all your pride
It's tough to see through bullshit
When it's up above your eyes
(Kiss it goodbye)
Stealing comes with practice
Lying comes with ease
But neither one is faster
Than falling to your knees
Money leads to fame
And fame is the disease
The latest epidemic
Reality TV
You'll be on TV
When it starts to snow in hell
You won't believe me
So go and see it for yourself
That brunettes move to New York
Blondes go California
East coast digs the cocaine
West coast marijuana
Don't be surprised
When you swallow all your pride
It's tough to see through bullshit
When it's up above your eyes
Fame
They...won't....let you get out alive
Your ass...grab it and kiss it goodbye
Fame
They...won't....let you get out alive
Your ass...grab it and kiss it goodbye
So let's move to New York
Or out to California
East coast digs the cocaine
West coast marijuana
Don't be surprised
When you swallow all your pride
It's tough to see through bullshit
When it's up above your eyes
Fame
They...won't....let you get out alive
Your ass...grab it and kiss it goodbye
Fame
They...won't....let you get out alive
It's hard to breathe, from underneath
Smothering in all your heat
It's hard to take, It's tough to break
So I don't make the same mistakes
The same mistake, (4x)
Out in the yard is where I play,
Don't come in cause I'm afraid
You saw my face, I faced my friends
Do I tell or just pretend?
I found a friend, a friend who knows
Who says he'll help but then he goes
And then he goes (4x)
In front of me, In front of me, so far from me, yeah, yeah
I'm in the way, the way it goes, so go away, yeah, yeah
In front of me, In front of me, so far from me, yeah, yeah
Fingernails, filled with dirt
If you don't tell, you don't get hurt
I cry for help, I pray to God
Another tear he tries to rob
To rob me of, my dignity
Cause sanctuary's far from me
Far from me (4x)
In front of me, In front of me, so far from me, yeah, yeah
I'm in the way, the way it goes, so go away, yeah, yeah
It's hard to take, a piece of me, so peacefully, yeah, yeah
In front of me, In front of me, so far from me, yeah, yeah
So broke inside, don't run away
And find another place to stay
And make our inhibition go away
Because I'm so afraid, yeah, yeah
It's hard to breathe, from underneath
Smothering in all your heat
It's hard to take, It's tough to break
So I don't make the same mistakes
In front of me, In front of me, so far from me, yeah, yeah
I'm in the way, the way it goes, so go away, yeah, yeah
It's hard to take, a piece of me, so peacefully, yeah, yeah
From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight
Singing, "Amen I, I'm alive"
(I'm alive)
Singing, "Amen I, I'm alive"
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
And I'm singing
Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I
(I'm alive)
And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along
Singing, "Amen I, I'm alive"
(I'm alive)
Singing, "Amen I, I'm alive"
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
When nobody died
And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
(When nobody died)
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
(When nobody died)
We'd see the day
Just one more moment
That's all that's needed
Like wounded soldiers
In need of feeling
Time to be honest
This time I'm pleading
Please don't dwell on it
'Cause I didn't mean it
I can't believe I said
I'd lay my love on the ground
But it doesn't matter
'Cause I made it up
Forgive me now
Everyday I spent away
My soul's inside out
Gotta be someway
That I can make it up
To you now some how
By now you know that
I'd come for you
No one but you
Yes, I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you
I was blindfolded
But now I'm seeing
My mind was closing
Now I'm believing
I finally know just
What it means
To let some one in
To see the side of me
That no one does or ever will
So if you're ever lost and
Find yourself all alone
I'd search forever
Just to bring you home
Here and now, it's a vow
By now you know that
I'd come for you
No one but you
Yes, I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you
You know I'd always come for you
No matter what gets in my way
As long as there's still life in me
No matter what, remember
You know I'll always come for you
Yes, I'd come for you
No one but you
Yes, I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'll always come for you
No matter what gets in my way
As long as there's still life in me
No matter what, remember
You know I'll always come for you
I'd crawl across this world for you
Do anything you want me to
No matter what, remember
You know I'll always come for you
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
And I've been wrong, I've been down
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream, "Are we having fun yet?"
Yeah, yeah, yeah
No, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah
No, no
It's not like you didn't know that
I said I love you and I swear I still do
And it must have been so bad
?Cause living with me must have damn near killed you
And this is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
And I've been wrong, I've been down
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream, "Are we having fun yet?"
Yeah, yeah, yeah
No, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah
No, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah
No, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah
No, no
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
And I've been wrong, I've been down
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream, "Are we having fun yet?"
Yeah, yeah
Are we having fun yet?
Yeah, yeah
Are we having fun yet?
Yeah, yeah
Are we having fun yet?
Yeah, yeah
No, no
I am so high, I can hear heaven
I am so high, I can hear heaven
Whoa, but heaven, no, heaven don't hear me
And they say that a hero could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away
Someone told me love would all save us
But, how can that be, look what love gave us
A world full of killing and blood spilling
That world never came
And they say that a hero could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away
Now that the world isn't ending
It's love that I'm sending to you
It isn't the love of a hero
And that's why I fear it won't do
And they say that a hero could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away
And they're watching us
They're watching us
As we all fly away
And they're watching us
They're watching us
As we all fly away
And they're watching us
They're watching us
I went out on the town with a friend last weekend
His ex girlfriend's friend was there alone
She bought a couple rounds and I got the feeling
she could really handle alcohol
Another one down and headed off the deep end
The more we drank, the less that we had on
And it turns out she's got everything I want, but all rolled into one
She smokes a little home grown, drinks a little Cuervo
Still a little down home, there was never a doubt
She's got a fast car, hotter then a dance bar
Looking like a rockstar, she'll be the talk of the town
You know, she's got everything I want, but all rolled into one
Gotta get me some
God all mighty look at that body
Flickers like a sticker on a new Ferrari
She's a scene from a baywatch rerun
Hotter then the barrel on a squeezed machine gun
Well, she can get it lower then a Maserati
Never seen somebody move that way
Everywhere she goes there's an instant party
Everybody wants to know her name
And it turns out she's got everything I want, but all rolled into one
She smokes a little home grown, drinks a little Cuervo
Still a little down home, there was never a doubt
She's got a fast car, hotter then a dance bar
Looking like a rockstar, and she likes to go out and
Get her hands up
Anything to stand on
Anything to dance on
She'd be swinging around
Under the hot lights, underneath the spot light
Even going all night
She'll be the talk of the town
You know, she's got everything I want, but all rolled into one
Gotta get me some
God all mighty look at that body
Flickers like a sticker on a new Ferrari
She's a scene from a baywatch rerun
Hotter then the barrel on a squeezed machine gun
She smokes a little home grown, drinks a little Cuervo
Still a little down home, there was never a doubt
She's got a fast car, hotter then a dance bar
Looking like a rockstar, and she likes to go out and
Get her hands up
Anything to stand on
Anything to dance on
She'd be swinging around
Under the hot lights, underneath the spot light
Even going all night
She'll be the talk of the town
You know, she's got everything I want, but all rolled into one
Gotta get me some
I gotta get me some
Well you can dig me up a grave
And try and stick me in the ground
Well you can tie me to the bed
And try and beat me half to death
But you can never keep me down
Well you can stick me in a hole
And you can pray all day for rain
You can shoot me in the leg
Just to try to make me beg
And you can leave me there for days
And I'll stay alive
Just to follow you home
And I will survive
'Cause you're my Mississippi Princess
You're my California Queen
Like the Duchess of Detroit
And every city in between
You can slap me in the face
You can scream profanity
Leave me here to die alone but
I'll still follow you home
I'll still follow you home
You can make a couple calls
And tell your brothers I'm in town
Put a bounty on my head
And tell my parents that I'm dead
And hope to hell I'm never found
You can steal me the keys
To your daddy's Cadillac
You can tamper with the brakes
Call it a mistake
And pray I'm never coming back
You can dig me up a grave
And try and stick me in the ground
You can tie me to the bed
And try and beat me half to death
But you can never keep me down
And I will survive
'Cause you're my Mississippi Princess
You're my California Queen
Like the Duchess of Detroit
And every city in between
You can slap me in the face
You can scream profanity
Leave me here to die alone but
I'll still follow you home
Well I wanted you
I wanted no one else
I thought it through
I got you to myself
You got off
Every time you got on to me
I got caught up
In favorable slavery
Was it wrong? Was it wrong?
I guess it wasn't really right
I guess it wasn't meant to be
It didn't matter what they said
'Cause we were good in bed
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
for all the wrong reasons
No, it didn't matter what I tried
It's just a little hard to leave
When you're going down on me
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
for all the wrong reasons
Well you know my friends
Well they know your enemies
I'd pretend
Not to hear what they said to me
'Cause I got off
Every time you got on to me
Was it wrong
To go along with insanity?
Was it wrong? Was it wrong?
I guess it wasn't what I wanted
Wasn't really what I thought
Thought it was the day I got
So far away
This time, this place
Misused, mistakes
Too long, too late
Who was I to make you wait?
Just one chance, just one breath
Just in case there?s just one left
?Cause you know
You know, you know
That I love you, I have loved you all along
And I miss you, been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you?ll be with me and you?ll never go
Stop breathing if I don?t see you anymore
One my knees, I?ll ask
Last chance for one last dance
?Cause with you I?d withstand
All of it to hold your hand
I?d give it all, I?d give for us
Give anything but I won?t give up
?Cause you know
You know, you know
That I love you, I have loved you all along
And I miss you, been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you?ll be with me and you?ll never go
Stop breathing if I don?t see you anymore
So far away, been far away for far too long
So far away, been far away for far too long
But you know
You know, you know
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
?Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
I love you, I have loved you all along
And I forgive you for being away for far too long
So keep breathing ?cause I?m not leaving you anymore
Believe it, hold on to me, never let me go
Keep breathing ?cause I?m not leaving you anymore
Believe it, hold on to me, never let me go
Hold on to me, never let me go
She's got a dirty mouth, it tastes so clean with every taste of me
You know that every single thing she does
She does for me, because it's what I'm dreaming of
And she likes to take her time
More then fortunate, form of torture
And she likes to touch and tease
It's always fun for me, it's always unbelievable
You and me, sitting in a tree
F-U-C-K-I-N-G
She'll do any naughty thing I want
My baby, she's up for anything I wanna do
She's a giver and it gets her off
My baby, she's into everything I wanna do
If it was on TV, or ever in a magazine
She could take a fantasy and make it a reality
She delivers every dirty thought
My baby, she's into everything I wanna do
And she knows every spot
Exactly where it's at, and she could draw a map
But tell you her tongue is like a weapon
And she's always threatening to be the death of me
You and me, sitting in a tree
F-U-C-K-I-N-G
She'll do any naughty thing I want
My baby, she's up for anything I wanna do
She's a giver and it gets her off
My baby, she's into everything I wanna do
If it was on TV, or ever in a magazine
She could take a fantasy and make it a reality
She delivers every dirty thought
My baby, she's into everything I wanna do
So, what you wanna do?
So, what you wanna do?
Let me repay the favor with your favorite thing you love to do
So, what you wanna do?
So, what you wanna do?
I'm about to take it up a notch, so watch what I'm about to do
You and me, sitting in a tree
F-U-C-K-I-N-G
She'll do any naughty thing I want
My baby, she's up for anything I wanna do
She's a giver and it gets her off
My baby, she's into everything I wanna do
If it was on TV, or ever in a magazine
She could take a fantasy and make it a reality
She delivers every dirty thought
My baby, she's into everything I wanna do
Everything you want, anything at all, everything you want
Everything I wanna do
Everything you want, anything at all, everything you want
Left on an eastbound train, gone first thing this morning
Why's what's best for you, always the worst thing for me
When am I gonna learn? Why? Cause I'm tired of hating
When will it be your turn? Why? Cause I'm tired of waiting
No I don't, no I don't, no I don't
Well no I don't find faith in your forced feelings
Not fooled by your misleadings
Won't buy this line your selling
Tired of this lie your telling
I won't, I don't, no I won't do this anymore
I won't, I don't, no I won't do this anymore
She says I'm only tellin' half of it
That's probably coz there's only half worth tellin'
And every time I try to laugh it off
That's when you turn around and wind up yellin'
When am I gonna learn? Why? Cause I'm tired of hating
When will it be your turn? Why? Cause I'm tired of waiting
No I don't, no I don't, no I don't
No I don't find faith in your forced feelings
Not fooled by your misleadings
Won't buy this line your selling
Tired of this lie your telling
I won't, I don't no I won't do this anymore
I won't, I don't no I won't do this anymore
She says I'm only tellin' half of it
That's probably coz there's only half worth tellin'
And every time I try to laugh it off
That's when you turn around and wind up yellin'
When am I gonna learn? Why? Cause I'm tired of hating
When will it be your turn? Why? Cause I'm tired of waiting
No I don't, no I don't, no I don't
No I don't find faith in your forced feelings
Not fooled by your misleadings
Won't buy this line your selling
Tired of this lie your telling
I won't, I don't no I won't do this anymore
Two men
They started walking
Started talking bout better days
One says to the other
We do it all again
Seems I knew I would
And now I found it
Found I adored it
I didn't want this
Somebody help me see
Now I feel it
Feel like I've been there
I didn't need this
Somebody help me breathe
Here we are again
Just face to facing
Each other another day
Who wins
Well who cares
It always ends up the same
Seems I knew I would
And now I found it
Found I adored it

Somebody help me see
And now I feel it

Wanna know do you want me to go
Gonna keep it all from ending
Never stop myself from pretending
That you always knew that I never could

Equal treatment never ever comes

All I ever really wanted was to be like you
So perfect
So worthless
If i could take it all back think again
I would
And now I found it
Found I adored it
I didn't want this
Somebody help me see
Now I feel it
Feel that I've been there
I didn't need this
Somebody help me stand
And now I've told them
I didn't want this
I didn't need this
Would somebody help me breathe
Would somebody help me breathe

Believe it or not, everyone keep most things inside
Believe it or not, everyone believe in something above
Believe it or not, everyone need to feel loved, feel loved
But we don't and we won't until we figure out
Could someone deliver us and send us some kind of sign
So close to giving up 'cause faith is so hard to find
But you don't, and you won't until we figure out
I've seen it a lot every time the world turns upside down
Believe it or not, most of us feel like we're losing ground
Believe it or not, everyone hate admitting fear
Believe it or not, most of us wanna know why we're here, why we're here
But we don't and we won't until we figure out
Could someone deliver us and send us some kind of sign?
So close to giving up 'cause faith is so hard to find
Someone deliver us, just send us some kind of sign
So close to giving up 'cause faith is so hard to find
But you don't, you won't until we figure out
Most of us have nothing to complain about
Most of us have things we could live without
Everyone need advice on how to get along
You don't, we won't until we figure out
Believe it or not everyone
Believe it or not, everyone have things that they hide
Believe it or not, everyone keep most things inside
Believe it or not, everyone believe in something above
Believe it or not, everyone need to feel loved, feel loved
But we don't and we won't until we figure out
Could someone deliver us and send us some kind of sign?
So close to giving up 'cause faith is so hard to find
Someone deliver us, just send us some kind of sign
So close to giving up 'cause faith is so hard to find
But you don't, and you won't until we figure out
I'm through, thinking of things to say to you
It's true, I've said enough and so have you
Just drive, you slam the door and so do I
Tongue tied, from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream
I needed you,
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
Was I mean to you?
Car keys in your hand
I believe that you would leave me for dead
Your turn, you'd rather leave then live and learn
That's why, you want an end and so do I
This time, I'll leave, and leave it all behind
Tongue tied, from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream
I needed you,
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
Was I mean to you?
Car keys in your hand
I believe that you would leave me for dead
Coz I needed you,
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
Was I mean to you?
Car keys in your hand
I believe that you would leave me for dead
I believe that you would leave me for
I believe, you would leave, me for dead, me for dead
I believe, you would leave, me for dead, me for dead
I'm through, thinking of things to say to you
It's true, I've said enough and so have you
Just drive, you slam the door and so do I
Tongue tied, from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream
I needed you,
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
Was I mean to you?
Car keys in your hand
I believe that you would leave me for dead
Coz I needed you,
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
Was I mean to you?
Car keys in your hand
I believe that you would leave me for dead
I believe, you would leave, me for dead, me for dead
I believe, you would leave
I, I'm driving black on black, just got my license back
I got this feeling in my veins this train is coming off the track
I'll ask polite if the devil needs a ride
Because the angel on my right ain't hanging out with me tonight
I'm driving past your house while you were sneaking out
I got the car door opened up so you can jump in on the run
Your mom don't know that you were missing
She'd be pissed if she could see the parts of you that I've been kissing
Screamin' no!
We're never gonna quit, ain't nothing wrong with it
Just acting like we're animals
No, no matter where we go 'cause everybody knows
We're just a couple animals
So come on baby, get in
Get in, just get in
Check out the trouble we're in
You're beside me on the seat, got your hand between my knees
And you control how fast we go by just how hard you wanna squeeze
It's hard to steer when you're breathing in my ear
But I got both hands on the wheel while you got both hands on my gears
By now, no doubt that we were heading south
I guess nobody ever taught her not to speak with a full mouth
'Cause this was it, like flicking on a switch
It felt so good I almost drove into the ditch
I'm screamin' no!
We're never gonna quit ain't nothing wrong with it
Just acting like we're animals
No, no matter where we go 'cause everybody knows
We're just a couple animals
So come on baby, get in
Get in, just get in
Look at the trouble we're in
We were parked out by the tracks, we're sitting in the back
And we just started getting busy when she whispered, "What was that?"
The wind, I think, 'cause no one else knows where we are
And that was when she started screamin', "That's my dad outside the car!"
Oh please, the keys, they're not in the ignition
Must have wound up on the floor while we were switching our positions
I guess they knew that she was missing
As I tried to tell her dad it was her mouth that I was kissing
Screamin' no!
We're never gonna quit ain't nothing wrong with it
Just acting like we're animals
No, no matter where we go 'cause everybody knows
We're just a couple animals
So come on baby, get in
(We're just a couple animals)
Get in, just get in
(Ain't nothing wrong with it)
Check out the trouble we're in
(We're just a couple animals)
