Verse 1:
Mirror, mirror
Tell me I'm not the one
That I see in your reflection
Never, never
Want to see myself like this
Hope it's all made up by my imagination
Or my loneliness is blowing my emotions
My eyes are burning
And my mouth is getting dry
Getting sick of thinking about her and I
It's been a long time
Since i've seen you smile
I can't count the days but i know it's been awhile
Since your time passed, soon to say goodbye
Chorus:
All I need
Is a world filled with dreams
Why wont you
Take me back where I belong
Verse 2:
Through all the good times
I've lost my fantasy
All my faith is falling with me
Not strong enough
To face the world to be
Think I'll soon crack down on the pressure
And my life bears too much failure
Chorus:
All I need
Is a world filled with dreams
Why wont you
Take me back where I belong
All I need
Is a world filled with dreams
Why wont you
Take me back where I belong
-Music Bridge-
Chorus:
All I need
Is a world filled with dreams
Why wont you
Take me back where I belong
All I need
Is a world filled with dreams
Why wont you, take me home...
Take me home...
So take me...
Something is wrong.
Hell on the rise
Hands at our sides.
Nothing to hide.
Where east becomes west
Where we lost our heads.
Still proud to be
Delightfully pleased
Delightfully pleased
Politefully dead.
Back when I was a giant that scared the sun away
I never thought I'd face him again and felt comforted in that
And then he emerged, so quick into the ground
And when happens next is anybody's guess, but we'll always be around
So nothing is wrong,
Nothing is wrong,
Nothing is wrong
You won't find songs of hopelessness on this record,
You won't find songs that leave you feeling lost
Just press play and feel your problems melt away
What else should the music do in you?
There are nights I can't remember
Where I woke up on the floor
I've seen friends become successful
and then be a friend no more
I've had my share of heartache,
felt like throwing in the towel
But one thing is for sure
I'm feeling good right now
We are well aware of what we're doing here
We're astronauts with instruments
Without a single fear of the unknown
Had a vision in the days of Laga
It was a platinum dream and a touring saga
We shot for the moon and missed,
So we discovered our own planet
There are nights I can't remember
Where I woke up on the floor
I've seen friends become successful
and then be a friend no more
I've had my share of heartache,
felt like throwing in the towel
But one thing is for sure
I'm feeling good
And I'm coming for you
in the morning, you'll choose:
Ignore us, adore us -
You're what keeps us hanging on,
You're what keeps us hanging
You're what keeps us hanging on
There are nights I can't remember
Where I woke up on the floor
I've seen friends become successful
and then be a friend no more
I've had my share of heartache,
felt like throwing in the towel
But one thing is for sure
Disposable like memories
Pictures I'm afraid to see
I'll drop them in and hang my head
Repeating the last words she said:
"Get older, and then get over me"
Developing you,
Bringing you back to me now,
Proving the girl that got away from me somehow,
They're all that I have of you
I can't bare to look
At all the stacks of photobooks, but now
To add to the lost ones means I'll have to open them again
Developing you,
Bringing you back to me now, (camera)
Proving the girl that got away from me somehow, (camera)
It's all that I have of you
They're all that I have of you
Developing you,
Bringing you back to me now, (camera)
Proving the girl that got away from me somehow, (yeah yeah!)
She's leaving it all behind,
But that's what she really wants
Yeah, she knows that she's the girl that got away from me somehow (camera)
It's all that I have of you
They're all that I have of you
The whole town disappeared
while my mini-blinds were closed
Could be that way for years,
and I might never know
Maybe no one told me cause they knew that I wouldn't
Leave the premises because they knew that I couldn't
You're the only one that still came around,
You're the only one that can get me out
All I want to do is something new,
Need to feel different doing something cool
Wherever we go is up to you now,
Just get me out of the house
Just get me out of the house
I'm living underground now
(living underground now)
Super top secret planning
(s-super secret planning)
When I finally unlock my door
I won't look a thing like I did before
You can tell my friends to alert the press,
But every now and then I've got to reinvent
I - I'm so tired
this is too much uninspired
Just get me out.
All I want to do is something new,
Need to feel different doing something cool
Wherever we go is up to you,
Pick a direction and I'll follow suit
For the time being I don't want to do nothing,
Including laying around watching bad television
You might have to physically hold me down
Or scream at me -
Just get me out of the house,
And get me into the car
take me somewhere I've never been before
Just get me out of the house,
Get me into the car
and take me somewhere I've never been before
I'm sick of the same old stories
This is a reaction to the songs we're forced to hear
Spread like and infection from the airwaves to our ears.
Don't give up now kid you see.
What you're searching for is on the tip of your tongue.
The future is here finally,
Writing and end to an open chapter.
Who you are depends on what's inside of you.
Spin the globe and change the world.
Revolutionary.
This is a reaction to an existential state
Only a reflection throughout our sleepwalk days
How can we change what's engraved in our psyche
Like invisible strings on the tips of our Nike's
Pulling us faster and harder
To chase dreams that weren't ours in the first place.
Who you are depends on what's inside of you.
Spin the globe and change the world.
Revolutionary.
Who you are depends on what's inside of you.
Spin the globe and change the world.
Revolutionary.
Who you are
Who you are
Who you are depends on what's inside of you.
Spin the globe and change the world.
Revolutionary.
Who you are
Don't wanna be by myself
Don't wanna be by myself
No, I don't wanna be by myself.
There are nights I can't remember,
Where I woke up on the floor.
I've seen friends become successful
And then be a friend, be a friend no more.
Who you are depends on what's inside of you.
Spin the globe and change the world.
Revolutionary.
Who you are depends on what's inside of you.
Spin the globe and change the world.
Stop running around
Because no one here is proud
Once lady-like, miss Katie White
Finds herself upside down
In the morning, I can tell
That something happened, you don't want to say
So blame the television,
College life so glamorous,
But you can't be
21 forever
No, you can't be
21 forever
Do yourself a favor, darling
Step down from that broken chair
The comfort that you're looking for is surely not up there
I know you want to know what happened
When you went away behind the scenes
It's harder than titanium,
But worth more than those diamond dreams
But you can't be
21 forever
No, you can't be
21 forever
And I know
all about bad weather
But you can't be 21 forever
Get it all, get it all,
Out of your system while you can
When you call, when you call,
I guarantee I'll understand
Do yourself a favor, darling
Step down from that broken chair
The comfort that you're looking for is surely not up there, oh no
But you can't be
21 forever
No, you can't be
21 forever
And I know
all about bad weather
But you can't be 21 forever
Maybe I'm smarter than you think,
But I know just what's happening,
A missed connection,
or the beginning of hard times to come
As much as I want to know
where you have been
I'd die to be oblivious,
Is it better to never know?
No, you can't be
21 forever
No, you can't be
21 forever
And I know
all about bad weather
But you can't be 21
No, you can't be
21 forever
No, you can't be
21 forever
And we may sound
Like a broken record
If you can't be 20
Then you can't be 21
No, you can't be
Covered in thumbtacks
And wearing the legs of my 8th costume
In the desert at high noon
My heads shaved down the middle
Got a rat on my shoulder
I try and look forward, but a paper clips on my eye lids.
So painfully there.
I'm sporting this dumb grin in a restaurant t-shirt.
This excruciating headache's only getting worse.
The b cups had me standing where they last stopped moving me
I punish myself metaphorically for you all the time.
What happened?
What happened?
What happened last night?
Did we do what I think we did?
Coyotes sing inside the cavern where we hid
I wouldn't change it
In fact I'd turn the clock around
To sing this chorus
A disclaimer of sound
I think we should just be friends
I think we should just be friends
I think we should just be friends
And see if it ever happens again.
Walking up a hill with a thousand little holes
And I'm blindfolded, high heels and a beak on my nose
I'm pulling a ship, that's pulling a building.
I'm barely exaggerating, this heat is exasperation
Maybe it's 80 in a blue LA sky
But I'm perched on the cross around your neck in my mind
The sounds inside us, the animal spirit
We're not quite to the point of a genius civilization yet.
What happened?
Oh, what happened?
What happened last night?
Did we do what I think we did?
Coyotes sing inside the cavern where we hid
I wouldn't change it
In fact I'd turn the clock around
To sing this chorus
A disclaimer of sound
I think we should just be friends
I think we should just be friends
I think we should just be friends
And see if it ever happens again.
Starting pretty simple,
Your favorite drink
This ones on me.
But no, I was a friend cuz it's still too hard to see
I think we should just be friends
I think we should just be friends
I think we should just be friends
And see if it ever happens again.
What happened last night?
I still don't remember
Cause its easier, it's easier
I wouldn't change it
In fact I'd turn the clock around
To sing this chorus
A disclaimer of sound
I think we should just be friends
I think we should just be friends
I think we should just be friends
And this could never happen again.
Wake up in the woods
Wonder where you are
Hear the people screaming
Somewhere from afar
Run out on the beach
This has got to be a dream
Save all those you can
Start a new society
I wonder what's out there
The Roller Coaster Smoke
I must admit I'm scared
To see where this will go
The others are coming to take us away
I don't know what they want cause they never say
We'll live together or we will die alone
Yeah, we'll live together or we will die alone
Yeah, Yeah. Oh, Oh. Yeah, Yeah.
Don't ever tell me what I can and can't do
You don't control me
I'm on my feet again
Do you believe in destiny
Do you believe in divine intervention
Traveling through time
The constant is the key
I wonder if we'll find out when we're supposed to be
The others are coming to take us away
I don't know what they want cause they never say
We'll live together or we will die alone
Yeah, we'll live together or we will die alone
Yeah, Yeah. Oh, Oh. Yeah, Yeah.
Take this tape
The soundtrack to my brain
Things that I just cannot say to you
Take this tape
The soundtrack to my brain
The shape was rectangular
The color was purple
And I was a kid
Spinning a globe around
Yeah, picking out places that I wanted to live.
You grew up in a fairy tale world
But you can't spin the earth
And you can't figure it out.
You're at home
You can tell when you see the bridges and bell
Pennsylvania's the home that you know that you can always come back to.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah . Woah.
Belle Vernon!
Allentown and nanty glow, Red lion, Edinboro,
We have a California and a jersey shore
Is Bethlehem where Jesus' was born?
Oh man, in nature at each other's necks.
Birds in the east, and steel in the west.
The lion on the mountain and the panthers pit.
But it's friendly competition and that's just it.
You're at home
You can tell when you see the bridges and bell
Pennsylvania's the home that you know that you can always come back to.
We have 67 counties, and no dominant political party
The declaration of indy was signed out in Philly
And Pittsburgh has more bridges than any other city,
Not counting Venice.
You've got a friend in Pennsylvania
(I'm coming home)
You've got a friend in Pennsylvania
(Come back home, I'm coming home)
You've got a friend in Pennsylvania
(I'm coming home)
You've got a friend in Pennsylvania
(Come back home, I'm coming home)
You're at home
You can tell when you hear the liberty
Pennsylvania's the home that you know that you can always come back to.
You've got a friend in Pennsylvania
You're in love for the first time, and you don't know what to do
You don't know what to say
You don't know how to act
You listen to your heart,
And hope the instincts that follow will keep you in the clear
But you know that life is never fair
But this feels so good...
So then you pour out yourself into an empty cup,
But little did you know, it never wanted filled up
You're filling a void, and they're flying from your questions
Like, 'Do you feel the same?'
And they say, 'Babe, we're on the same page.'
And then they burn the book
How was I supposed to know?
If the writing on the wall was so clear, why couldn't I read it?
How was I supposed to know?
If the writing on the wall was so clear, why couldn't I read it?
Now I'm in hell for the first time,
And I don't know what to do
I don't know what to wear
Who to talk to, or turn to
I listened to my heart,
And put down my guard,
And was easily knocked over by a beautiful bulldozer
I ran blind into your street,
Dancing on my left feet,
And off time to the beat (catch up, catch up!)
You're in places your shouldn't
Like when I'm starting my car,
Or pondering the future from your blue abandoned furniture
(Catch up, catch up!)
How was I supposed to know?
If the writing on the wall was so clear, why couldn't I read it?
So how was I supposed to know?
I wake up and it's dark
Haven't seen the light in three,
Maybe four days now
Something happened last night
In a daze
I hope it stays that way
I am backwards
In black words
Pick up the paper
Breakfast under the stars
So caught up in my thoughts
Your picture's on the front page
But she wants
Someone who will take care of her
And let little things go
But I don't think she'll do it for you
You're gonna get the nayno,
Just because I say so
This has gotta end
Get off my train!
Maybe in a perfect world,
We'd work it out
In the next round
Downtown bound,
But when we hit the next stop,
You should go
When we hit the next stop,
You should go
When we hit the next stop,
You should go
When we hit the next stop,
...You should go
Now I wait underground
To the sounds of kids
And people laughing,
People crying
Should I gather the facts,
Or just throw myself into the tracks? (nah)
But she wants
Someone who will take care of her
And let little things go
But I don't think she'll do it for you
You're gonna get the nayno,
Just because I say so
This has gotta end
Get off my train!
Maybe in a perfect world,
We'd work it out
In the next round
Downtown bound
But when we hit the next stop,
You should go
When we hit the next stop,
You should go
When we hit the next stop,
You should go
When we hit the next stop,
You should go
When we hit the next stop,
...You should go
You're gonna get the nayno,
Just because I say so
This has gotta end
Get off my train!
Maybe in a perfect world,
We'd work it out
In the next round
Downtown bound
But you're gonna get the nayno,
Just because I say so
This has gotta end
Get off my train!
Maybe in a perfect world,
We'd work it out
In the next round
Downtown bound,
But when we hit the next stop,
You should go (whoa-oh-oh)(whoo-ooh-ooh)
When we hit the next stop,
You should go (whoa-oh-oh)(whoo-ooh-ooh)
When we hit the next stop,
You should go (whoa-oh-oh)(whoo-ooh-ooh)
this beds got too much room
i might need another cover
there seems to be so much food
and i'm used to empty cupboards
and i remember when the days seemed so short
when everything was so right
and now you're gone and my most wanted
the only thing in sight
then i woke up to nothing
and you seemed more dead than i could ever be
so when you wake up to nothing
i'll leave your life for the second time
i'll leave your life for the second time
for the second time
be careful in this cold
this bridge might stay icy
and if i'm not there and don't hear a sound
just like that in the night
this burning bridge falls down
i remember when the days seemed so short
when everything was so right
and now you're gone and my most wanted
this all ends tonight
right now
then i woke up to nothing
and you seemed more dead than i could ever be
so when you wake up to nothing
i'll leave your life for the second time
i'll leave your life for the second time
for the second time
for the second time
it's all been said before
but this is my own outlook and my own curse
in years i'll laugh upon looking back
from the best to just dust on a box sealed shut
now blow away
now blow away
i'll leave your life for the second time (for the second time)
i'll leave your life for the second time (for the second time)
for the second time
for the second time
Your vision is blurry but oh don't you worry
You know this place
And you said you could manage with eyes closed well
Now is the time to shine and save some lives
When the going gets tough
The going gets what you ask for
No mistakes and no regrets
The actions you make now they'll only reflect it
Boys, there is a war to win out there
We all know you're scared
But look around at all of their faces
They all look just like us
So all hail the king for trying
Running and racing to future to bury this more in the past
Instead of it being the last thing that happened
What happened
We had it
We thought that it was magic
Then the rabbits turned into maggots
And maggots feet are bad luck
When the going gets tough
You're going to get what you ask for
We can't have mistakes this time
If you're not ready then don't even try
Hold your breath
And don't forget
That wars will always happen
I'm gonna beat you in this human race
Hows a guy get out there with so much to face
I'm a cat in a cage in a rat parade
I should stay at home
And know no one I know
I can run pretty fast
But so can so many people better than that
What's wrong with us
We've gotta open our doors
Sleep on floors
And wish for more more more
Ain't nobody gonna bring me down
Ain't nobody gonna steal my song
Ain't nobody gonna bring me down
I'm gonna take the long road there
If the short way means I'm settling
Because I'm one who takes his victory
By his patience and his pride
A moment
Of this torment
Makes it worth it
When I see how the story ends: I've made it
I turn the radio on to the saddest songs
The memories haunt me
The stereo taunts me
I'm turning down the volume
Singing my own song
Cause I'm so much stronger
Ain't nobody gonna bring me down
Nobody's gonna steal my song
Ain't nobody gonna bring me down
Ain't nobody gonna bring me down
'Cause my boy John "Beatz" got my back
I am awake
Finally unafraid
My dues are paid
Gone are the days I displayed
No rhyme because good times could go too quickly
No reason pleased only by love
No understanding of this human species
But where I was
Begged a why with no because
Now I'm exactly what I used to be afraid I'd become
And I'm exactly where I used to be afraid I'd belong
I feel like I reflect as if I've entered yesteryear
When just yesterday I appeared to be
Somebody with no fears
Of ever growing up
I loved being stuck
Sometimes I wish I was there
No rhyme because good times could go too quickly
No reason pleased only by love
No understanding of this human species
But where I was
Begged a why with no because
Now I'm exactly what I used to be afraid I'd become
And I'm exactly where I used to be afraid I'd belong
Life's not over
It's finally mine to own
My fears of the fall are gone
I had no idea
Still just me now
Anticipation of the worst was simply wrong
Yeah I was afraid
I was afraid I'd become just like them
Now just the fear of growing up and becoming that
It almost killed me
'Cause I had some plans when I was a kid
I made some promises to myself
Promises I began to feel I couldn't deliver on as I grew older
But you know what?
looking back
I love that hopeful kid
Enough to prove to him
That nothing can take away that hope
nothing can take away his vision
And just because my world is dead
I came to fight to that noble end
Gonna keep my eyes wide,
walk outside
stay myself inside
And I'm exactly what I used to be afraid I'd become (And I belong)
And I'm exactly where I used to be afraid I'd belong (And I belong)
And I'm exactly what I used to be afraid I'd become (And I belong)
I look at you and see the life I wanna live.
You look at me and say How could it come to this
But if the timings right and stars align
Then consider this case closed.
I see you walking for the door
But some day you'll call this home.
No significant other, and now I'm really bored
And all I wanna do is drink
No significant other today.
So why would you leave me all alone.
You know I don't get along
When I'm left all by myself.
You're gonna lose it.
You're gonna lose it.
You're gonna lose it.
But if the timings right and stars align
Then consider this case closed.
I see you walking for the door
But some day you'll call this home.
No significant other, and now I'm really bored
And all I wanna do is drink
No significant other today.
So why would you leave me all alone.
You know I don't get along
When I'm left all by myself.
And I thought you'd be concerned.
But I guess I was wrong.
And still don't wanna be by myself.
Don't wanna be by myself.
Don't wanna be by myself.
So why would you leave me up the crick,
I'd treat you way better than Rick.
I saw him talking to Michelle
Don't wanna be by myself.
Don't wanna be by myself.
