Somewhere down in Fullerton
there's a place we used to go
to get away from it all
Somewhere down in Fullerton
there's a place we used to go
to get away from it all
But I'm still trying
just to figure out why
this feels so wrong
when it felt so right
Felt so right four years ago
So please don't go away
Won't this feeling
stay with me forever,
forever, I said
"please don't go away
I just want you to
stay with me forever"
Somewhere down in Fullerton
there's a place that meant
so much to everybody like me
Somewhere down in Fullerton
there's a place that meant
the world to everybody like me
But I'm still trying
just to figure out why
this feels so wrong
when it felt so right
Felt so right four years ago
So please don't go away
Won't this feeling
stay with me forever,
forever, I said
"please don't go away
I just want you to
stay with me forever"
But I'm still trying
just to figure out why
this feels so wrong
when it felt so right
Felt so right four years ago
So please don't go away
Won't this feeling
stay with me forever
forever, I said
"please don't go away
I just want you to
stay with me forever"
Forever, I said
"please don't go away
I just want you to
stay with me forever"
Forever, I said
"please don't go away
cause all I want is
"You Lied"
Walking by your house
I wonder if your home
Then I see the light turn on
And I think I should go
A place where I can stay
And think about the days
That we were holding hands
And time would fade away
Now those days are gone
I don't know what went wrong
Was it something I said
Or maybe I waited too long
To open up my eyes
And finally realize
That everything you said was just another fucking lie
So now it's over and my life's turned upside down
My head is spinning but I can't hear a sound
That's when I think to myself
Now that I've made sense of all this
I hope it kills you to think of what you missed
You don't mean anything to me
I'm never gonna get the years back
The summer's almost gone
And here we are as friends
To sing the same old song
That we've heard time and time again
It's never gonna change
Words all stay the same
So I will turn my back and then we'll go our separate ways
'Cause now those days are gone
I don't know what went wrong
Was it something I said
Or maybe I waited too long
To open up my eyes
And finally realize
That everything you said was just another fucking lie
So now it's over and my life's turned upside down
My head is spinning but I can't hear a sound
That's when I think to myself
Now that I've made sense of all this
I hope it kills you to think of what you missed
You don't mean anything to me
Now that I've made sense of all this
I hope it kills you to think of what you missed
You don't mean anything to me
I'm never gonna get the years back
[x4]
I'm never gonna get the truth behind the lies
There's nothing left to find
So here's my last goodbye
Now that I've made sense of all this
I hope it kills you to think of what you missed
You don't mean anything to me
Now that I've made sense of all this
I hope it kills you to think of what you missed
You don't mean anything to me
I'm never gonna get the years back
They say elders gain the wisdom of years
As time goes by, I fear...
growing up and feeling like the best years are done
Spend life waiting for things that never come, and...
Hope
When living through the memories of youth
Hope
When repetition guides you
Hope
When wondering how you wound up this way
I hope the wisdom's worth the wait
Life's mold gradually enfolds you
Uniqueness given up to be accepted by your peers
Come in from your 9 to 5
Hang your coat and tie
High School yearbook's still on the nightstand...
Salutations and "How's your day been?"
routine superficial conversations
Gotten too deep, but somehow you keep
working to afford another day you'll live to hate
I hope I never fall in line
If I could tell you one thing
Then I'd tell you everything
I'd probably say that you've been on my mind
Since we held hands out in the rain
Smoking cigarettes to play
Off all the butterflies I had inside
And now I think that you should know
That you've got everything
That I've wanted for so damn long
And that I wouldn't hesitate to trade away everything
If you tell me that I'm not wrong
So know I think that you should know
That I've been waiting for you
Since we sat underneath the stars
as I held you in my arms
Killing just another summer night
It's funny how the best things happen sometimes
And how I'll always remember those endless nights
But don't forget I regret the fact that I have to leave you
Right as the best part starts
it's friday night and i can't sleep
it's friday night and i can't sleep
too many thoughts inside of me
my head is spinning round feet
it's friday night i'm on the street
cuz i had to get something to drink
now my head's between my feet
now it's time for me to wake up
cuz i can't see what's going on
now it't time for me to wake up
it's time to turn myself around
Hold on little girl
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you
Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
Wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to show you
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you
Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwhile
And I can make you start to smile
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you
When it feels like everything you've built
Is busting at the seams and soon will all come crashing down
Build support or start from scratch again
Move ahead to find your way around
Cause the route that you took was misleading,
and you made some mistakes on your way last time around
So here's your second chance to
Be strong up against attack
Just know you can always build it back
And even the hardest times eventually will always pass
Sometimes it can seem unfair
But nothing will change just standing there
Every battle that's worth fighting had to start somewhere
Use the wreckage as a starting point.
Or move on and start again somewhere you've never been
End result will be the same each way
Play it safe or reinvent again.
And there's always two sides with different ideas
And compromise isn't easy
It seems the cycle never ends
But you know it's alright to sit for awhile,
and think about where you went wrong
What's it gonna be?
What's the model you believe?
It's clear that you don't give a shit
About the way things used to be
So you run and hide
To escape the fear inside
Another blank expression
Sail away right behind your eyes
Promises don't mean a thing to me
Until the actions show
There's so much more to your lies
As you wear this new disguise
And watch it eat you from inside
As you fade away to nothing more
Than what you had to hide
So cut your ties
This was your last free ride
You place the blame on everything
And now you're trying to survive
What's left to say
Now that nothing has changed
Left you to pack up all your shit
And get the fuck out of my way
Promises don't mean a thing to me
Until the actions show
There's so much more to your lies
As you wear this new disguise
And watch it eat you from inside
As you fade away to nothing more
Than what you had to hide
Can you sense the breakdown of these walls
Built to break your fall?
As you wear this new disguise
And watch it eat you from inside
As you fade away to nothing more
Than a distant force
There's something buried deep between these lines that you will never see
It's something that they don't want us to figure out
Were suffocating under all the lies and picture perfect smiles
The presidents and photographs in magazines
And no ones listening
We are the lives that will decide the state of desperation
Divided by a sense of doubt
We'll fight for you
We'll break the rules
We'll write this indignation
Until it all comes crashing down
There's something wrong when television is the basis for our lives
They want us to believe in everything we see
It's getting harder now that all the innocence has passed us by
Now everybody wants to get something for free
And no ones listening
We are the lives that will decide the state of desperation
Divided by a sense of doubt
We'll fight for you
We'll break the rules
We'll write this indignation
Until it all comes crashing down
And everybody wants the truth
But they're too scared to face it
They just don't accept what's happening
We just sit back and watch the world destroy itself when
We all know something's wrong
We are the lives that will decide the state of desperation
Divided by a sense of doubt
We'll fight for you
We'll break the rules
We'll write this indignation
Until it all comes crashing down
late night
long day
somehow it's never quite enough
and maybe
i'm lazy
it's been so long sometimes i feel like giving up
so now i'm staying up all night
cause i'm trying to understand
why i feel like i've been stuck here forever
i'll break out today
i'm throwing my life away
you don't even know
i'll break out today
i'm throwing my life away
you don't even know
maybe
i'll get through
just one more day of feeling dumb
i don't think
i need to
get over this until i feel like growing up
so now i'm staying up all night
cause i'm trying to understand
why i feel like i've been stuck here forever
i'll break out today
i'm throwing my life away
you don't even know
i'll break out today
i'm throwing my life away
you don't even know
i'll break out today
i'm throwing my life away
you don't even know
i'll break out today
i'm throwing my life away
You left a guy who told you where to be and when
I was with a girl who tried to sleep with my best friend
We both took comfort in each others messy lives
Finding warmth on that cold November night
We swore it'd be years before we brought that on again
Days later you said that we should be more
than just friends
I let my guard down cause the feelings were so strong
But acted stupid and that's when he came along
It's been so long
I should just move on
There's other fish in the sea
But I keep hoping that you'll swim back to me
We'd sneak out and go swimming late at night
You're one of few who can say they've seen me cry
You got my quirkiness and awkward sense of humor
We shared Simpson quote and started made up rumors
If night turned into day you'd hide me from your mom
I could never fight with you cause you were never wrong
This time especially the blame is all on me
If I'd not screwed things up I wonder where we'd be
One day for no reason I broke our date
So you made other plans that day
And that's when you met him
And why you're still with him today
I keep hoping you'll swim back home to me
I'm just glad I got a chance to know you
Now that the hardest part is done
We'll have to face another one
And figure out what we'll both do and where
Each offer seems to promise new ways to separate us both
And I don't care what others think is best, I can't just watch you go
If we can stick together, we'll never be alone
We'll run away
Just leave this place
If you're here next to me there's nowhere I'd rather be
So we'll start tonight
Just leave behind
the lives we used to know and venture out to make it on our own
It'll just be harder if we wait.
More settled in with every day
It makes more sense for us to both start new
And the worst thing I'd imagine is to be stuck like this at home
And it might be rough at first but we'll have stories when we're old
If things start to break, we'll pack up and find another way
it was just another boring friday night
when things got a little out of control
a record player and some cds
is what he stole
well he claims he wiped the finger prints
clean off the stolen goods
but it's too bad he didn't hide the evidence
because he's going to jail
andy is going to jail
now he's sitting in jail
with a drunk and a wifebeater
he says the food tastes weird
and the cell smells like piss and beer
now he claims he wiped the finger prints
clean off the stolen goods
but it's too bad he didn't hide the evidence
because he's going to jail
Remember the moment you face
Is it all straight ahead or behind you?
Well maybe if you look around
You'll see everything's perfectly clear
Picture it all in your mind
Remember where we are now
Open your eyes
& take it all in
Remember where we are now
This is where your life begins
You feel like you're lost in the crowd
Watching life go on without you
Well baby it's your turn to shine
Everything's starting right here
Don't leave this moment behind
Remember where we are now
Open your eyes
& take it all in
Remember where we are now
This is where your life begins
Don't look away
It's the life that you choose now believe it
There'll come a day
When you look up and see how good you are with me
Remember where we are now
Open your eyes
& take it all in
Remember where we are now
The conversation died last night,
On the heels of another fight,
And you had so much more to say yeah,
And now my telephone is blind,
I put my bottle on rewind,
To hear the music going on and on and on,
There's nothing in this world that touches me like you do,
And helps me to unlock emotions i never knew,
It's never gonna change,
It's always gonna feel this way 'til i can't hear it anymore,
I've been in love,
I've been in love since i turned on my stereo,
I've been in love,
I've been in love since i turned on my stereo,
And now the silence died last night,
Cut off by these city lights,
Leaving so much more to say yeah,
I've walked these streets a thousand times,
With these songs locked up inside,
It helps to keep me moving on and on and on,
There's nothing in this world that touches me like you do,
And helps me to unlock emotions i never knew,
It's never gonna change,
It's always gonna feel this way 'til i can't hear it anymore,
I've been in love,
I've been in love since i turned on my stereo,
I've been in love,
I've been in love since i turned on my stereo,
You made me,
You saved me,
You made me,
You changed me,
There's nothing in this world that touches me like you do,
And helps me to unlock emotions i never knew,
It's never gonna change,
It's always gonna feel this way 'til i can't hear it anymore,
I've been in love,
I've been in love since i turned on my stereo,
I've been in love,
I've been in love since i turned on my stereo,
I've been in love, (you made me)
I've been in love since i turned on my stereo,
I've been in love, (you changed me)
It's just another wasted day another wasted year
I'm stumbling and falling crashing on despair
I'm just another nobody whose time has just passed by
I'm just another failure so tonight I'll make it all right
It's just another wasted breath on another cigarette
My world is wrapped inside frustration and regret
I'm just another nobody whose time has just passed by
I'm just another failure so tonight I'll make it all right
I'm dying, I'm trying to stay in control
You're stealing my feelings
Don't leave me alone
"Potential Suicide"
She sits at home and tries to remember all the days when everybody said nothing could bring her down
Now she's found that she can't stand the site of her reflection in the windows of this beat up old town
She's packing all her problems Into a carry-on bag
She's packing all of her sorrow into one less silver box labeled memories
And every night that she's alive
Is a potential suicide
And all the teardrops that she cries wont help her
she goes to bed at night just to wake up to a nightmare and a headache that will never go away
She's doing time and hating every minute of it blaming everything on something she can't escape
She cries and she cries
But no one ever listens
She doesn't understand why she can't slow down
She's packing all her problems Into a carry-on bag
She's packing all of her sorrow into one less silver box labeled memories
And every night that she's alive
Is a potential suicide
And all the teardrops that she cries wont help her
And all the pain she's kept inside
Doesn't help to cleanse her mind
From all the heartache and the frustration tonight
And now it feels like she's been dealt a shitty hand
She said "it is mine" but she doesn't understand
And every night that she's alive
Is a potential suicide
And all the teardrops that she cries wont help her
And all the pain she's kept inside
Doesn't help to cleanse her mind
From all the teardrops that she cried
And every night that she's alive
Is a potential suicide
And all the teardrops that she cries wont help her
And all the pain she's kept inside
Doesn't help to cleanse her mind
It took too long
It took too long
It took to long for you to call back
And normally I would just forget that
Except for the fact it was my birthday
My stupid birthday
I played along
I played along
I played along it rolled right off my back
But obviously my armor was cracked
What kind of a boyfriend would forget that?
Who would forget that?
The type of guy who doesnt see
What he has until she leaves
Dont let me go
Cause without me, you know youre lost
Wise up now or pay the cost
Soon you will know
Youre not livin till youre livin
Livin with me
Youre not winnin till youre winnin
Winnin me
Youre not gettin till youre gettin
Gettin to me
Youre not livin till youre livin
Livin for me
This is the potential breakup song
Our album needs just one
Oh baby please
Please tell me
We got along
We got along
We got along until you did that
Now all I want is just my stuff back
Do you get that?
Let me repeat that
I want my stuff back
You can send it in a box
I dont care just drop it off
I wont be home
Cause without me, you know youre lost
Minus you Im better off
Soon you will know
Youre not livin till youre livin
Livin with me
Youre not winnin till youre winnin
Winnin me
Youre not gettin till youre gettin
Gettin to me
Youre not livin till youre livin
Livin for me
You can try, you can try
You know I know itd be a lie
Without me youre gonna cry
So you better think clearly, clearly
Before you nearly, nearly
Mess up the situation that your gonna miss dearly, dearly
Cmon
Youre not livin till youre livin
Livin with me
Youre not winnin till youre winnin
Winnin me
Youre not gettin till youre gettin
Gettin to me
Youre not livin till youre livin
Livin for me
This is the potential breakup song
Our album needs just one
Oh baby please
Please tell me
This is the potential make-up song
please just admit youre wrong
Which will it be?
i met this girl the other day
sitting alone on the wednesday train
i said, "what's wrong? you look so sad."
she said she's got something inside
that she's not willing to confide
so i said, "could i give some free advice?"
"don't worry bout your problems now, baby,
cause it just don't matter when it comes down to the fact.
everybody's got problems now, baby,
and life's too short to keep them bottled up inside."
cause i know
that life is like a racecar speeding down this one way street
that'll go
anyway
it feels like heaven down this one way street
cause i know
everything will be fine
i met this guy the other day
sitting alone on the sunday train
dressed up with nowhere left to go
he said, "if there's one thing that i've learned,
through all these cigarettes i've burned,
you've got to stop and look around."
he said that hindsight's clearer than a crystal ball
if he had a chance to stop and do it all over again
cause when you're waiting for the sounds of the gavel
you don't want it to end with a fistfull of regrets inside
cause i know
that life is like a racecar speeding down this one way street
that'll go
anyway
it feels like heaven down this one way street
cause i know
everything will be fine
cause i know
that life is like a racecar speeding down this one way street
that'll go
anyway
it feels like heaven down this one way street
cause i know
that life is like a racecar speeding down this one way street
that'll go
anyway
it feels like heaven down this one way street
cause i know

While I sing these shitty songs
it's late at night
and all i can think about
is how i went to work
and just sat around
and wasted my whole day
time goes by
and soon we forget about
the way we looked
the dumb things that mattered
as our lives just slipped away
i mope around
like there's nothing to do
another day
and i'm looking for something new
i can't understand why i'm feeling this way
memories come but they just fade away
it's late at night
and all i can think about
is how i went to work
and just sat around
and wasted my whole day
time goes by
and soon we forget about
the way we looked
the dumb things that mattered

like there's nothing to do
another day
and i'm looking for something new
i can't understand why i'm feeling this way
memories come but they just fade away
and i'm looking for something new
i can't understand why i'm feeling this way
never cared if I was acting dumb
never made me want to hide and run
always took the time to ask what's wrong
never made fun of my favorite song
now i gotta be the one to leave
guess it's better but I still don't see
ain't it funny how it never turns out right
but I would never cry for my freshmen girl
now she's crazier than John D.
drinking alchohal and smoking pot
wants to know if it was day or night
that's why i asked her if she feels alright
now i gotta be the one to leave
guess it's better but I still don't see
ain't it funny how it never turns out right
but I would never cry for my freshmen girl
never cared if I was acting dumb
never made me want to hide and run
never took the time to ask what's wrong
never made fun of my favorite song
now i gotta be the one to leave
guess it's better but I still don't see
ain't it funny how it never turns out right
Well I think the time has come
to tell you how I feel about everything
thats been inside my mind
since the day we crossed
the line into this real life fantasy
cause I poured my heart into
the last 3 years of wondering
what I should do
should I cash the check
and trade in what I thought I knew
your promises don't help to make it easier
Cause the last thing that I need is somebody like you
to push me around and tell me what to do
I know theres a time and place where you can call the shots
but it't not here
Cause I poured my heart into
the last 3 years of wondering
what I should do
should I cash the check
and trade in what I thought I knew
your promises don't help to make it easier
Because the last thing that I need is somebody like you
to push me around and tell me what to do
I know theres a time and place where you can call the shots
but it't not here
Cause I think this whole life is just overrated
this whole life is too complicated
this whole life is just overrated now
this whole life is just overrated
this whole life is too complicated
this whole life is just overrated now
I don't remember what you said to me that night
so I just signed the dotted line
Cause now I find out this whole life is just overrated
this whole life is too complicated
this whole life is just overrated now
this whole life is just overrated
this whole life is too complicated
my girlfriend's moving in with a guy that i never met
he's 26 years old and she says that they're just friends
but i'm sick of playing games with her every time i see her
i'm thinking that this is just ridiculous
because she's moving in tomorrow

What you need more from Christmas
Than candy canes and toys
I'll deliver something to help fill up your void
There are no welchin reindeer working at this pole
But if you've been a good girl
I'll warm you in the cold
Stockings aren't the only things hung this holy night
I'll make sure your Christmas is white
I got a special package for you to unwrap
Then I'll shower you with more gifts
From my giant sack
Just think how much better off you'd be
If everone could get some Scottie underneith their tree
In the Christmas spirit, I'd even visit Jews
Sit down and take a listen a story that's my confession
of how you came into my life I wasn't sure if I was ready,
I didn't think you were here already six weeks before the estimated time, Mom and I were holding hands we didn't think about the demands, with a tap on my right shoulder, I looked up and felt so much older, you came along, and I was there, I never felt so happy through, all the hardship, and despair I never felt so happy my baby boy, promise to never make you unhappy you're my best friend, because you make me happy, and all the times that I screwed up, and lost my temper i hope you haven't given up, we're gonna make up for lost time to spend some time together
who says it's now or never I wanna show the world you're here, you're here and as you and I walk holding hands,
jimmy's just a bum
who wants to hold on to the past
he tries to be a tough guy
but dumb kids come in last
he says he'll win her heart
his love life is a mess
he calls his dream girl destiny
and she calls him obsessed
he says he'll take my girl away
but i don't really care
and i don't worry
i know that he wants her
but it's plain to see
that jimmy's dreamgirl
she's in love with me
jimmy calls his dream girl
on the phone real late at night
he says that they were meant to be
and she lets him know she's mine
he offers her his haircut
his nice shoes
a b-ball game
all i've got is my guitar
this band and half a brain
he says he'll take my girl away
but i don't really care
and i don't worry
i know that he wants her
but it's plain to see
that jimmy's dreamgirl
she's in love with me
he says he'll take my girl away
but i don't really care
and i don't worry
i know that he wants her
but it's plain to see
that jimmy's dreamgirl
jacob sits outside the door
and runs into the class when i sit down
he takes a seat right next to me
i never thought about it until now
and even if a boy likes me
it's not the end of the world
he may be a really nice guy
but i only like girls
on the computer i got a letter
jacob says he wants to know me better
a little flattering
but way too strange
that jacob thinks i'm gay
jacob walks right up to me
before i get a foot out of the door
he takes a second look at me
i guess he wanted just a little more
and even if a boy likes me
it's not the end of the world
he may be a really nice guy
but i only like girls
on the computer i got a letter
jacob says he wants to know me better
a little flattering
but way too strange
that jacob thinks i'm gay
Na Na Na Na Na...
and even if a boy likes me
it's not the end of the world
he may be a really nice guy
but i only like girls
on the computer i got a letter
jacob says he wants to know me better
a little flattering
but way too strange
That's the sound of the last threads starting to fray
If we don't watch out we'll fall down the rest of the way
If it continues on like this, then there'll be nothing left for us to fix
What we, both need, is time apart before it gets any worse
We might, just find, we're better off, or learn how to make it work
As the flame makes it's way to the end of the rope
if we don't do something soon than it's gonna explode
Been together long enough, to know sometimes
we need a little space once in a while to breathe.
I know this time was bad but I think that we should wait a couple days,
I told you that I loved you
but you don't comprehend

"Easy Answers"
16 kid and just in the scene
But you've learned you have to play their games
Sold out through the chemical route because its easier to pass the blame
Instead of listening they pawn it off on someone else
To try their hands at easy answers
Take these push the buttons and tweak
Manufacturing a new disease
Lump sums making zeros and ones
As your forced into dependency
Instead of listening they pawn it off on someone else
To try their hands at easy answers
Giving up and taking it back to
Square one every morning
And you can't get out of bed
Daily rush to reformat again
Going through the motions
Forget and fall back down
Normal's not the norm you're used to now
Instead of listening they pawn it off on someone else
To try their hands at easy answers
Giving up and taking it back to
Square one every morning
And you can't get out of bed
Daily rush to reformat again
Going through the motions
Forget and fall back down
Normal's not the norm you're used to now
Climbing up a wall that never ends
Close your eyes
you met this girl the other day
you met this girl the other day
you said that she was the one
who'd never get away
but she left you for another guy
i tried to tell you that she'd never stay
but you never listen
so now i wanna say
I told you so
Well she was just 17,
You know what I mean,
And the way she looked was way beyond compare.
So how could I dance with another (ooh)
When I saw her standing there.
Well she looked at me, and I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her.
So how could I dance with another (ooh)
When I saw her standing there.
Well, my heart went boom,
When I crossed that room,
And I held her hand in mine.
Whoah, we danced through the night,
And we held each other tight,
And before too long I fell in love with her.
So how could I dance with another (ooh)
When I saw her standing there.
Well, my heart went boom,
When I crossed that room,
And I held her hand in mine
Whoah, we danced through the night,
And we held each other tight,
And before too long I fell in love with her.
So I'll never dance with another (whooh)
When I saw her standing there
[Originally by Belinda Carlisle]
Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
When the night falls down
I wait for you
And you come around
And the world's alive
With the sound of kids
On the street outside
When you walk into the room
You pull me close and we start to move
And we're spinning with the stars above
And you lift me up in a wave of love...
Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
When I feel alone
I reach for you
And you bring me home
When I'm lost at sea
I hear your voice
And it carries me
In this world we're just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby I was afraid before
But I'm not afraid anymore
Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Now it seems I've fallen victim to the same disease that's
eaten up the world
Our generation's gonna fall apart if we continue to be
pushed around
So now it's time to make a change
We gotta lock down and rearrange
And reject the fundamentals of society
The time has come to live my life
I'm gonna break out and do what I like
And I don't care what you say or think about me
Yeah, yeah
Now it seems we've fallen victim to hypocrisy and
Bureaucratic lies
They got us brainwashed
So we don't stand up and fight for what we think is right
So now it's time to make a change
We gotta lock down and rearrange
And reject the fundamentals of society
The time has come to live my life
I'm gonna break out and do what I like
And I don't care what you say or think about me
Yeah, yeah
Cause it's easy when you're free
Yeah it's easy when you're free
Yeah it's easy when you're free
Yeah it's easy when you're free
Yeah it's easy when you're free
It's easy when you're free
It's easy when you're free
Yeah it's easy when you're free

Walk home
drowning these memories in the rain
Biting my lip
to transfer this pain
You're gone
and I'm still going through withdrawl
Next time around
I'll build a stronger wall
You broke my guard with guiltless eyes
Divide me like a virus from inside
And came back just to salt the wounds
Now thanks to you...
I start runnin now
(I start runnin, I'm runnin away from you)
I start runnin away
When I get too close I'm scared to stay
I start runnin now
(I start runnin, I'm runnin away from you)
I start runnin away
Now others pay for your mistakes
You needed
more attention than I gave
Instead of talking
you just played games
And smiled
as my whole world became unstitched
I wish I'd known
you would be such a heartless bitch
You broke my guard with guiltless eyes
Divide me like a virus from inside
And came back just to salt the wounds
Now thanks to you...
I start runnin now
(I start runnin, I'm runnin away from you)
I start runnin away
When I get too close I'm scared to stay
I start runnin now
(I start runnin, I'm runnin away from you)
I start runnin away
Now others pay for your mistakes
I start runnin now
I start runnin away
When I get too close I'm scared to stay
I start runnin now
I start runnin away
Now others pay for your mistakes
I start runnin now
(I start runnin, I'm runnin away from you)
I start runnin away
When I get too close I'm scared to stay
I start runnin now
(I start runnin, I'm runnin away from you)
I start runnin away
Never cared if I was actin dumb
Never made me wanna hide and run
Always took the time to ask what's wrong
Never made fun of my favorite song
Now I gotta be the one to leave
I guess it's better but I still don't see
Ain't it funny how it never turns out right
But I would never cry,
I would never cry,
I would never cry for my freshman girl
I would never cry,
I would never cry,
I would never cry for my freshman girl
Now she's crazier than John Dupont
Drinking alcohol and smoking pot
Wants to know if it was day or night
That's why I asked her if she feels alright
Now I gotta be the one to leave
I guess it's better but i still don't see
Ain't it funny how it never turns out right
But I would never cry,
I would never cry,
I would never cry for my freshman girl
I would never cry,
I would never cry,
I would never cry for my freshman girl
Never cared if I was actin dumb
Never made me wanna hide and run
Never took the time to ask what's wrong
Never made fun of my favorite song!
Now I gotta be the one to leave
I guess it's better but I still don't see
Ain't it funny how it never turns out right
But I would never cry,
I would never cry,
I would never cry for my freshman girl
I would never cry,
I would never cry,
I would never cry for my freshman girl
got a full tank of gas, your hand in my clasp
this time were never turning back
throw out all the rules, be nobody's fool
what was a hole is now a crack
and a wall built around this supressive town
where we never found just what we want
and when push comes to shove
hold on to love cause baby thats all we got
baby dont you know, theres only one of you
and what never seems to go has always been true
and when your feelin down and out, you know i'll come around
so i can hop out of the ground
together we'll rock around this crazy world
you can say you understand and its all been planned
cause we hold the future in our hands
but i'll leave it up to you, if you think were through
The needle spinning on this broken record feels just like a sentimental heartbeat
Keeping time with all the memories from the past
Going over now it's choking all the thoughts that feed the pulse inside of my head
So take a number stand in line so you can die to watch your mistakes
Mistakes....
This voice will sing out now for the last time
Feels like I'm running in circles, I got nowhere left to go
This song wants to ring out now for the last time
It's played over and over but I'm too scared I can't let it go
The stories spinning from the mouths up at the bar are wearing thin and going nowhere
They're getting stale just like the sour drink in my hand
It's got me thinking I'm about to turn my back and get the fuck right out of this town
So order up another round so you can wash away your mistakes
Mistakes...
I've watched these kings in battle with jealous eyes afire
Only to have their cities
Conquered and left in ruins, the walls they built to fall
The masses rise up and they take it all
Take it all..
You fought a long, long losing war
You've seen a time of better days
Yeah but through it all, you stood up tall
You never cowered in fear
You'd always ante up when times were tough
You never gave up on me
In this wicked game of life and death
I would play my hand if I could
I'd breathe for you [x4]
You've seen it all, it's all come and gone
Through the smiles and bitter tears
Through all the endless nights you'd stay up fighting
Just to make it until dawn
Another round of shots, a bigger pot
Lies on the table waiting
In this wicked game of life and death
Let's throw down our hands in glory
I'd breathe for you [x4]
Ain't it funny how life passes in the blink of innocent young eyes
So many names and faces change while others just lay back in disguise
I hope you never thought that I was just another rotten fair-weather friend
Let's try to make up for lost time let's make this last until the end
Locked down and alienated, confused and complicated
Now it seems you still have my heart
Shot down and unaccepted
Sometimes i get the feeling everything is tearing out my heart
But im scared of what ill find
The search for answers just keeps going nowhere
All i know is that its killing me inside
As i raise this final bottle to the sky
Here's to promises that die
Here's to all the nights we said our last goodbyes
As we burned another day off all our lives
Here's to memories that will fade, like the photographs that scream of better days
Its all weighing on my mind
Knocked down and devastated
refused and understated
now I see how you stole my heart
now I'm forced to breathe without you
sometimes I get the feeling everything is tearing us apart
But im scared of what ill find
The search for answers just keeps going nowhere
All i know is that its killing me inside
As i raise this final bottle to the sky
Here's to promises that die
Here's to all the nights we said our last goodbyes
As we burned another day off all our lives
Here's to memories that will fade, like the photographs that scream of better days
Its all weighing on my mind
But im scared of what ill find
The search for answers just keeps going nowhere
All i know is that its killing me inside
As i raise this final bottle to the sky
Here's to promises that die
Here's to all the nights we said our last goodbyes
As we burned another day off all our lives
Here's to memories that will fade, like the photographs that scream of better days
Its all weighing on my mind, weighing on my mind (my mind)
i picked up the phone and said hello
when i picked up the phone i didn't know
this girl would be making my world go round
we talked for an hour or two and she said
"hey kid i would love to see you"
and i said that would be so cool
she's so far away
she's so far away from me
i wanna see this girl
fall in love with me
and write a song about her
on our new LP
i wanna hold her tight
and keep her warm at night
and tell her
that she's the one for me
she's the one for me
now i want her to understand
that i just want to hold her hand
but we're a million miles apart
i wrote her a letter yesterday
to say how perfect we could be
cuz she already stole my heart
she's so far away
she's so far away from me
i wanna see this girl
fall in love with me
and write a song about her
on our new LP
i wanna hold her tight
and keep her warm at night
and tell her
that she's the one for me
I'm writing this song to tell you that I'm sorry
Cause I know you never thought that I'd be away so long
I know it's unfair to ask you to wait for you
It's hard to keep my balance
When you look the other way
So I'm letting go with every breath I'm taking
So many reasons
I need something more to believe in
The time has come to turn and walk away
Through all these changes
Mistakes
There was time, now it's too late
There's nothing more that I could say to you
I'm writing this song to tell you that it's over
Your jealousy took it way too far this time
Another day comes
I'm better off without you
So now we'll take a deep breath and get on with our lives
It's hard to keep my balance
When you look the other way
So I'm letting go with every breath I'm taking
So many reasons
I need something more to believe in
The time has come to turn and walk away
Through all these changes
Mistakes
There was time, now it's too late
There's nothing more that I could say to you
So what good is today
When there's not going to be a tomorrow?
It's too much for me to take
I know you don't want to wait forever
Just remember
So many reasons
I need something more to believe in
The time has come to turn and walk away
Through all these changes
Mistakes
There was time, now it's too late
There's nothing more that I could say to you
It's frightening
How you can see the changes happening
When they move so fast
And lightning
Except the odds are growing
These lonely times will strike me twice
The screams of 1,000 voices
Are whispers inside my head
The echoes of self defense
So how many times will it take
To cover up the past mistakes
And hide behind a crying you face of shame
And how many nights will I hide
and blink under the blackened skies
I've cursed out so many times
Its biting
when the cold wind blows through weathered eyes
and blistered skin
it's quiet now
it's like the calm before the raging violence of the storm begins
and when this comes crashing down
I'll fall harder than before
I'll start this all over now
So how many times will it take
To cover up the past mistakes
And hide behind a crying face of shame
And how many nights will I hide
and blink under the blackened skies
I've cursed out so many times before
I'll beg for the ending or just for forgiveness
I'll wait in the shadows of a battle I'm close to losing
So how many times will it take
To cover up this smiling face of silence
This face of shame
And how many nights will I hide
and blink under the blackened skies
Well lately
It seems i've wasted every single opportunity
To get this right
And maybe
It's all because the inspiration
That's inside of me
Has been denied
From all I want
And all I need tonight
So come with me
Just take my hand and
I'll make sure to show you everything
We'll trace these lines.
Of empathy and
Self destruction to avoid responsibility
I'll bite my tongue
For all I want
And all I need
So I'm holding out
For a piece of good advice
To get me through this
To help me face another night
We'll set a course for the end of time
And maybe then I
Will finally get this whole thing right
Well lately
It seems I've wasted every single opportunity
To get this right
And maybe
It's all because the inspiration
That's inside of me
Has been denied
From all I want
And all I need
So I'm holding out
For a piece of good advice
To get me through this
To help me face another night
We'll set a course for the end of time
And maybe then I
Will finally get this whole thing right
It's all I want
It's all I need
It's all I want
It's all I need
So I'm holding out
For a piece of good advice
To get me through this
To help me face another night
We'll set a course for the end of time
And maybe then I will finally
Close the door, turn off the light
You'll never see the bloodshot eyes
Cause you never come around
The pictures that had lined the halls
I smashed them through against the wall
Yeah you tore them all down
Because you never come around
So maybe one day
I can get the thought of you
Out of my head
You gotta lot of nerve to grab my heart and rip it out
You gotta lot of nerve to show me what your all about
You gotta lot of nerve to hold me then forget me
Like a bad dream
Traded me in hopes to find
Some happiness in one more lie
Yeah you had it figured out
Was there a hint of honesty
In anything you said to me
Yeah I wrote it all down
So I could scream it out loud
And maybe one day
I could hold it up above
Your pretty blonde head
You gotta lot of nerve to grab my heart and rip it out
You gotta lot of nerve to show me what your all about
You gotta lot of nerve to hold me then forget me
Like a bad dream
Make me promise that you'll try
You told me everything is gonna be fine
Again the second time
I hope its not another lie.
You figured it out
Tore it all down
I Lock it all up
So I could scream it out loud
You gotta lot of nerve to grab my heart and rip it out
You gotta lot of nerve to show me what your all about
You gotta lot of nerve to hold me then forget me
Like a bad dream
Like a bad dream
Like a bad dream
"2 A.M."
It's 2 A.M. and I'm not asking too much else tonight
So I light a cigarette
And watch the flame burn to my fingers as I think and reflect
On the years that have gone by
And now I'm feeling like a king
With one breath I'll take it all
Into my head I wont forget all of the times that we shared
We watched a good friend fade away
Just like our future on our own no destinations in life
Only thing that's kept the same
But I'm still feeling like a king
And there's just one thing to say
I will wait for you while you wait for me
And I'll meet you somewhere in between.
It's 4 A.M. and I am just about to end this night
'cause I'm out of cigarettes
I'll watch the stars burn through my window as I think and reflect
On the years that have gone by
But I'm still feeling like a king
And there's just one thing to say
I will wait for you while you wait for me
And I'll meet you somewhere in between.
Time is running circles inside my head
4 years of memories I wont forget
And time running out
Times running out
Times running out to say goodbye
[x3]
I will wait for you while you wait for me
Million miles from home,
and I finally meet someone like you,
but we'll just be separated soon
you say don't overthink,
and that we should try
and make the most of this time before it goes
I knew when this had started,
how it'd end I knew when this had started, how it'd end
But I can't live life in hiding, and I don't regret a thing
All we needed was time
Countdown now until the morning light
And the ocean divides
Thrown back to the lives we left behind
Can't help but think of all the things we could've had
We just never got a chance
As we said our goodbye's, s,
I had to fight the urge to up and move,
and start over here with you.
Maybe it wouldn't work,
and this whole thing was just meant to be left as a memory.
I knew when this had started, how it'd end
But I can't live life in hiding, and I don't regret a thing
All we needed was time
Countdown now until the morning comes
And the ocean divides
Turning us into strangers once again
Can't help but think of all the things we could've had
We just never got a chance
promised you some day I'd make it back again,
Chalk it up to the public's request for a style that they just don't understand
Chalk it up to the difference between the industries supply and demand
Say please with the stab of a knife to the heart of what you've always believed
Well I'll pull that bloody knife back out and wave it at the pessimism in me
Say goodbye to all the preconceptions that you had
Say goodbye to everything you know
Take the time and draw the line to what you have and what you think you'll find
Cause I know
Let's hear it for lack of origination
It's all the same thing if you look at it right
I can tell you without any hesitation
That this will not survive
So what's the catch what's the trick to the trade
Is it luck or is it all just a game
What's the rule for the pile of charades
Is it all about what's in a name
Say please with the stab of a knife to the heart of what you've always believed
Well I pull that fucking knife back out and wave it at the pessimism in me
Say goodbye to all the preconceptions that you had
Say goodbye to everything you've known
Take the time and draw the line to what you have and what you think you'll find
Cause I know
Lets hear it for lack of origination
It's all the same thing if you look at it right
I can tell you without any hesitation
That this will not survive
Three cheers for the loser generation
It's all the same thing if you look at it right
I can tell you without any hesitation
That this will not survive
Tonight
Let's hear it for lack of origination
It's all the same thing if you look at it right
I can tell you without any hesitation
That this will not survive
Three cheers for the loser generation
It's all the same thing if you look at it right
I can tell you without any hesitation
That this will not survive
No this will not survive
So kiss it all
Goodnight
Kiss it goodnight
Kiss it goodnight
you waste your time always looking at me
but don't you know you're never gonna get
the opportunity to see the other side of me
now you caught me you caught me by surprise
but i'll never question what i feel inside
all i know is that
i didn't mean
i didn't mean to love you
you waste your time always looking at me
but don't you know you're never gonna get
the opportunity to see the other side of me
now i'm sorry that i didn't see before
all i wanted was to be your friend and nothing more
so fuck you
i didn't mean
i didn't mean to love you
you waste your time always looking at me
but don't you know you're never gonna get
the opportunity to see the other side of me
now you caught me you caught me by surprise
but i'll never question what i feel inside
you fucking bitch
i didn't mean
Drive through nights on empty roads
Hoping the clubs promote our show
Wasting days in endless naps
Find new ways to fill the gaps
Another word game with the band
Another losing rummy hand
Another night slept in the van
I'm forced awake again in time to take the stage (the van)
And as my dream world fades another takes it's place (the van)
I look into the crowd and see myself through stares (the van)
Back when I hoped someday I'd be the one up there (the van)
Reading to save our numbing minds
Meeting new friends we'll leave beind
Lay on the loft and trace the stars
Start the day in no ones arms
Another night without a sell
Another meal at Taco Bell
Another story I can tell
I'm forced awake again in time to take the stage (I can tell)
And as my dream world fades another takes it's place (I can tell)
I look into the crowd and see myself through stares (I can tell)
Back when I hoped someday I'd be the one up there (I can tell)
2, 3, 4!!!
I'm forced awake again in time to take the stage
And as my dream world fades another takes it's place
I look into the crowd and see myself through stares
Back when I hoped someday I'd be the one up there
I'm forced awake again in time to take the stage (up there)
And as my dream world fades another takes its place (up there)
I look into the crowd and see myself through stares (up there)
we close our eyes and the world has turned around again
we close our eyes and dream
another year has come and gone
when everybody is running in the big race
and having a good time
we might've cast a shadow
who am I?
I looked death in the face last night
I saw him in a mirror and he simply smiled
he told me not to worry
he told me just to take my time
we close our eyes and the world has turned around again
we close our eyes and dream
another year has come and gone
we close our eyes and the world has turned around again
we close our eyes and dream
and if you come to me
and if you touch my hand
I might just slip away
I might just disappear
who am I?
and if you think I'm worth it
and if you think it's not too late
we might start falling
if we dont try too hard
we might start falling in love
we close our eyes and the world has turned around again
we close our eyes and dream
another year has come and gone
we close our eyes and the world has turned around again
we close our eyes and dream
we're on the healing path
we're on a roller coaster ride that could never turn back
and if you love me
and if you really try to make the seconds count
then we could close our eyes
close our eyes
and the world has turned around again
close our eyes
another year has come and gone
we close our eyes and the world has turned around again
we close our eyes and dream
another year has come and gone
we close our eyes and the world has turned around again
we close our eyes and dream
I woke up yesterday 20,000 miles from home
Got a picture postcard from you in my pocket
I woke up yesterday with a burning in my soul
Got this feeling that I might be losing something
that could make my whole world come alive
Have I been a fool for loving you?
How so quickly our hearts collide
Just one look from your eyes and I knew
I would need you the rest of my life
Just one touch from your hand makes me shiver all over inside
I've been waiting for your call
from clear across the ocean
to carry me back home so I can finally rest my head for one more night
Yeah I am begging for one moment
to fall into your arms so I can find
Everything real we both shared that summer night
I woke up yesterday in this cold, downtown hotel
got a cigarette still burning in my hand
Through my window I watched these trains roll by again
I've been staring at nothing just hoping for something to take me away
Don't think that I wouldn't walk a thousand miles or
Pull the stars out of the sky
Just to have you in my life
We'll take it slow we'll take it easy for a while
Then we'll show the world....
there's something that's been on my mind
that's why i've wasted all my time
being with a selfish girl like you
there's something that i've gotta say
that's why i can't go on this way
being hung up over you
cuz i don't want to be the one
you come to when you're crying on the phone
and i don't want to be the one
you come to when you're crying all alone
because i don't think that you realize
that what we have is gone and it will
take to long for us to get it back
i don't think that you understand
we won't get back together cuz
our timing could have never been so bad
been so bad
there's something that's been on my mind
that's why i've wasted all my time
staying up all night thinking of you
there's something that i've gotta say
that's why i can't go on this way
wondering what happened to our love
cuz i don't want to be the one
you come to when you've found another guy
and i don't want to be the one
you come to when you want to say goodbye
because i don't think that you realize
that what we have is gone and it will
take to long for us to get it back
i don't think that you understand
we won't get back together cuz
our timing could have never been so bad
been so bad
now its time for me to get on with my life
1871 was the year underneath an October sky
When a windy city man had set out with a plan to set a fire but nobody knows why
So Pegleg headed out back with a match and a bucket of kerosene
Little did he know that the wind would blow through the streets with anarchy
Pegleg didn't have an alibi
He didn't have a story to tell
But he bought his one way ticket straight to hell
'cause he burned the whole damn city
Watched it all go down
Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground
yeah he burned that beautiful city
He torched that beautiful town
Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground
Flames spread fast every night
While they passed through the alleys and the dead end streets
From suburban doors to the lakefront shore demolishing everything
And pegleg never got blamed for the mess made
Said he never broke the law
But all that remained was the charred black stains
Proving every things his fault
Pegleg didn't have an alibi
He didn't have a story to tell
But he bought his one way ticket straight to hell
'cause he burned the whole damn city
Watched it all go down
Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground
yeah he burned that beautiful city
He torched that beautiful town
Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground
Of all the books printed on history
None raised the flag on one mans legacy
Now everybody knows the truth of the stories being exposed
So Pegleg's going down in infamy.
'cause he burned the whole damn city
Watched it all go down
Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground
yeah he burned that beautiful city
He torched that beautiful town
Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground
I've been sitting here for hours
a burning image of her in my mind
finding comfort in what you say
but its not the same
I know you're worth the wait
and I cant explain what Im going through inside
But I would turn away the world
just to have her here with me tonight
take your time
making sure that
everything feels right
it wont be easy
but im not afraid
she's so far away
you better start from scratch
its now or never
but we cant look back
I need you with me
for another day
shes so far away
yeah far away
Ive been sitting here forever
your voice is resonating in my mind
countless hours with you on the phone
and now im not alone
I know youre worth the wait
and I cant escape
what Im going through inside
but I would turn away the world
just to have her here with me tonight
I know theres no time left for second chances
Still we're right dispite these circumstances
Youve changed me more than you could ever know
So we will just hang on until tomorrow
so take my hand
Pacts we have made, while planning for the day
That we might get a chance to meet again
I'll wave and nod, while parting down these city streets
that Cherry Blossoms hedge
Though we have forged through good times and through bad
You always kept a smile on your face
And when this world would try to drag me to the ground
I find strength in those days
And through these misty depths
I faintly still detect
That melody we used to hold so dear
Sakura, Sakura
Full and clinging to the trees
Knowing soon their fate is near, but holding
strong throughout the breeze
So, farewell my old friend, it's time for us to go
With unchanging hearts we'll both continue on… from here
Now it's as though, I have the strength to say,
the words that I have longed to speak to you,
From here on out, I wish you nothing but the best in everything you do.
This bustling cityscape,
that's changing every day,
feels as though it's rushing us along
Sakura, Sakura
Slowly drifting from the boughs
With the hopes that they'll be born again, while floating to the ground
Please don't shed any tears, but it's time for us to part
Show me again that simple smile of yours
Sakura Sakura
Lightly dancing through the sky
Bathing in the ever present glowing of these city lights
So farewell my old confidante, Let's meet like this again,
there's a broken needle scratchin my 45 collection
through a burned out, blown 2-speaker combination
there's nothin left to do but crank it up loud
it's pumpin through my head and it's knockin me out
it doesn't really matter what's goin on now
cause all i wanna do is
keep the radio playin all night long
we left the radio playin all night long
because the radio's playin all my favorite songs
there's a broken CD player in the backseat of my car
next to the pieces of what's left from my first guitar
there's nothin left to do but crank it up loud
it's pumpin through my head and it's knockin me out
it doesn't really matter what's goin on now
cause all i wanna do is
keep the radio playin all night long
we left the radio playin all night long
because the radio's playin all my favorite songs
we left the radio playin all night long
we left the radio playin all night long
because the radio's playin all my favorite songs
some people say
that my radio is dead
but i won't let myself believe it
we left the radio playin all night long
we left the radio playin all night long
because the radio's playin all my favorite songs
we left the radio playin all night long
we left the radio playin all night long
because the radio's playin all my favorite songs
we left the radio playin all night long
we left the radio playin all night long
because the radio's playin all my favorite songs
we left the radio playin all night long (the radio, the radio)
we left the radio playin all night long (the radio, the radio)
because the radio's playin all my favorite songs
i've never understood
why i always think about it
and why it's always on my mind i don't know
i often wonder
if things are gonna change at all
Cuz now i get the closest when i'm all alone
cuz all i want
and all i need
could i please get from you
i just wanna get laid
don't care how much she costs
i just wanna get laid
every day and night
i just wanna get laid
don't care how good she looks
i just wanna get laid
tonight and every night for the rest of my life
i ain't got much
just pictures on my wall
it's not that much but it'll do
my friends all laugh
they have no symptahy
i guess i'll be the last one to screw
they say i'm scared
and unprepared
could i please learn from you
i just wanna get laid
don't care how much she costs
i just wanna get laid
every day and night
i just wanna get laid
don't care how good she looks
i just wanna get laid
tonight and every night for the rest of my life
i've never understood
why i always think about it
and why it's always on my mind i don't know
i often wonder
if things are gonna change at all
Cuz now i get the closest when i'm all alone
cuz all i want
and all i need
could i please get from you
i just wanna get laid
don't care how much she costs
i just wanna get laid
every day and night
i just wanna get laid
don't care how good she looks
i just wanna get laid
don't care how much she costs
i just wanna get laid
every day and night
i just wanna get laid
don't care how good she looks
I've been waiting for the right time to tell her how I feel
I've been waiting so long to say what's on my mind
But I just don't think she's gonna understand
That we could watch a stupid movie
While I hold her by the hand
Stay up all night talking but we'll never get the chance
So I wrote these words so maybe she'll understand
That I've been staying up all night
Waiting for a phone call
Staying up all night
Praying that I don't fall
Madly in love with this girl that's gonna break my heart
(she'll break my heart every time I see her)
I guess it's t he right time to tell her how I feel
It's my one last show to say what's on my mind
But I just don't think she's gonna understand
That I would drive all night just to see her for a day
Make another broken promise
If she says that I could stay
So I wrote these words so maybe she'll understand
Every time I see her smile that smile
I think that maybe she had saved that one for me
Then I realize that I'm going crazy
Or maybe it's just my imagination working overtime
Well you think you know it all
You think that you deserve the best,
but I've got news for you
Your bullshit smile can't pass this test
Cause there's somethin that I've wanted to say
I've wanted to say to you, woah
I've been waiting to say to you, woah
for so long
This time I'm ready
I'm ready for somethin new
This time I'm ready
I'm ready for somethin new
Now I get sick of listening to your whining and your cries
Cause you may have found success,
but you still living out the lie
Now I can't wait fot the day that you will burn out
and fade away, woah
You'll burn out and fade away from the world (woah)
This time I'm ready
I'm ready for somethin new
This time I'm ready
I'm ready for somethin new
Why can't I understand your superficial views (woah),
but I can understand I can't take much more of you?
Fuck you, I'm ready
I'm ready for somethin new
Fuck you, I'm ready

We built this up together on a shaky ground
Before too long it started crumbling down
So I got out before the whole thing hit the floor
But you knew better I'd be back for more
And when I finally did it was strange to see
That you rebuilt it with no help from me
The same foundation but the rest is new
You made this it belongs to you
It all went by too fast
No time to react
Once you fire the shots
They can't be taken back
You spread your roots and make your things for all of me
The ground is soft but there's no room to breathe
You had to push and force into abnormal growth
We could have dreamed it if we took it slow
But from the highest branches there's much thinner air
And things are different when you're way up there
Now all I want is you to come back down
And start again on level ground
It all went by too fast
No time to react
Once you fire the shots
They can't be taken back
I went and left you for dead
But you just got up again
And every fight just seems to make you stronger
I tried to tear this apart
But it was blown from the start
'cause you just had to grab them all and run
from the highest branches there's much thinner air
And things are different when you're way up there
Now all I want is you to come back down
And start again on level ground
It all went by too fast
No time to react
Once you fire the shots
They can't be taken back
It all went by too fast
Never could react
Once you fire the shots
Take these promises I've made
And hold them strong
Don't think twice about those things that I did wrong
Cause I'd never do something intentionally just hurt you
And I've stared at the sky
and I've asked myself why you've become like an angel to me
Still the days and the weeks and the hours go by
and the minutes they just fade away
And I'm missing you every second in time
And it hurts cause you're so far away
All tears that I cry when you're not by my side
And those nights I dream of kissing you goodnight
I don't have the looks and I don't have the money
I don't have no diamond ring
I don't have a job and I don't have a car
and I can't give you everything
But you are the one that I need
I know that you're perfect for me
So please give me just one more chance to get this right
and you'll see
Because tonight, you're all I want to night [x4]
I don't go to school, I ain't got no diploma
I don't have no GED
I don't have no stocks and I don't have a Trust Fund
Don't have much of anything
And now it seems I can't go five minutes without thinking of you
Do you wanna dance with me baby
Come along we can do this all night
I'll take you by the hand maybe spin you right around
til we're feeling alright til we're feeling alright
We can jitterbug on down that line
maybe do the waltz in 3/4 time
Just get out on that floor we can do this all night
The band's got rhythm they've got style
They're gonna kick this party all night so let's go...
We're gonna dance the night away
We're gonna dance the night away
Let's dance, let's dance
Let's dance, dance, dance the night away
Do you wanna dance with me baby
Come along we can shake it all night
We can do the jump baby we can do the jive
til we're feeling all right
I'll make you strut in double quickstep time
Shimmy up and down the Samba line
Just get out on that floor baby do this all night
The lights are going down the mood is right
I can see it in your eyes that you are mine tonight
I'll pull you close, and never let you go
Hiding in back and never making a sound
If you don't speak your thoughts
They can't be turned around
Cause, You lead a targeted youth
Can't find the courage to leave your shell yet
Finding short term courage in a flask
Another wasted day you're never getting back
Cause, You lead a targeted youth
Who only talks to a certain few
Can't find the courage to leave your shell yet
Torn apart and...
Camouflaged in the background and holding things deep
Never showing your true self to the kids you meet
Finding shade in imagination
One more day forgotten to the world
Hiding in back and never making a sound
If you don't speak your thoughts
They can't be turned around
Cause, You lead a targeted youth
Who only talks to a certain few
Can't find the courage to leave your shell yet
Torn apart and...
Camouflaged in the background and holding things deep
Never showing your true self to the kids you meet
Finding shade in imagination
One more day forgotten to the world
(One more day forgotten to the world)
Finding short term courage in a flask
sun's goin down
in a shitty little town
where every night's always the same
i've got a 40 in my pocket
as i'm walking down the street
i'm gonna drink till i don't know my name
we'll drink all day
and drink all night
gonna drink until we puke
then we'll go and do it all again
goin out again tonight
gonna get stupid
gonna get loaded
we're gonna get fucked up tonight
sun's goin down
in a shitty little town
where every night's always the same
i've got a 40 in my pocket
as i'm walking down the street
i'm gonna drink till i don't know my name
i said we'll drink all day
and drink all night
gonna drink until we puke
then we'll go and do it all again
goin out again tonight
gonna get stupid
gonna get loaded
we're gonna get fucked up tonight
we're goin out again tonight
we're gonna get stupid
we're gonna get loaded
I'm writing this song to tell you that I'm sorry
Because I know you never thought that I'd be away so long
I know its unfair to ask for you to wait for me
But I don't have a real job and youre ready to move on
And its hard to keep my balance when you look the other way
So I'm letting go with every breath I take in
So many reasons I need something more to believe in
The time has come to turn and walk away
Through all these changes, mistakes
There was time now its too late
There's nothing more that I could say to you
I'm writing this song to tell you that its over
Your jealously took you way too far this time
Another day comes, I'm better off with you
So now take a deep breath and carry on with our lives
And its hard to keep my balance when you look the other way
So I'm letting go with every breath I take in
So many reasons I need something more to believe in
The time has come to turn and walk away
Through all these changes, mistakes
There was time now its too late
There's nothing more that I could say to you
So what good is today
If there's not gunna be a tomorrow?
It's too much for me to take
I know you don't wait forever
Just remember that life without us won't be the same
So many reasons I need something more to believe in
The time has come to turn and walk away
Through all these changes, mistakes
There was time now its too late
I've been driving this road for the third straight day,
As the thoughts from the past are to pick my brain,
And now i feel like screaming to the world,
'Cause this highways goin' nowhere,
And the lines have all been blurred,
By the rain that's fallin' down in front of me,
So i clear the windshield just to find,
Another cross to mark the passing of a life,
It's a crystal clear reminder that all things come to an end,
And i wonder when that end will come for me,
When the lines go down,
And the clocks time out,
And the bells just don't chime anymore,
Is it tragedy,
That we can't see,
What lies on the other side of every single smile
I've been asking myself for the third straight night,
If there's truth in the writings that shape our lives,
And now i feel like screaming to the world,
Do these sermons run in circles?
Are they spoken by design?
To erase the thoughts of insecurity?
Or maybe we're just never meant to find,
The answer to the question we've all kept inside,
Give me something to believe in,
Give me anything at all,
'Cause right now this world just feels like it's too small
When the lines go down,
And the clocks time out,
And the bells just don't chime anymore,
Is it tragedy,
That we can't see,
What lies on the other side of every single smile
I won't cry,
Not tonight,
I won't lie down without a fight
I won't cry,
Not tonight,
I won't lie down
When the lines go down,
And the clocks time out,
And the bells just don't chime anymore,
Is it tragedy,
That we can't see,
What lies on the other side of every single smile
When the lines go down, (I won't cry)
And the clocks time out, (Not tonight)
I won't lie down without a fight,
Is it tragedy, (I won't cry)
That we can't see, (Not tonight)
