Stereo, we hear both sides, we sympathize
We live our lives in stereo
The left and the right, the dark and the light
We wrestle with the balance
We change our tone, we leave our phone
And tape record our absence in lovin' memory
Stereo, we're livin' it in stereo
We fix it so our love is high fidelity
Mix it so we never lose the melody
We try to equalize our lives in stereo
So on we go from side to side
As we divide a single life in stereo
The far and the wide, we override
The feedback from the others
The unkind phrase, we lock in phase
We're only really listening to the stereo
Stereo, we're livin' it in stereo
We tune it till we have a perfect parody
Commune with such a fine-cut, crystal clarity
It seems to symbolize our lives in stereo
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Laa, laa, laa, laa, laa, laa)
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Laa, laa, laa, laa, laa, laa)
(Laa, laa, laa, laa)
Stereo, stereo
We fix it so our love is high fidelity
Mix it so we never lose the melody
We try to equalize our lives in stereo
Stereo, stereo
We fix it so our love is high fidelity
Mix it so we never lose the melody
Pigs, they tend to wiggle when they walk
the infrastructure rots
and the owners hate the jocks
with their agents and their dates
if the signatures are checked
you'll just have to wait
and we're counting up the instants that we save
tired nation so depraved
from the cheap seats see us
wave to the camera
it took a giant ramrod
to raze the demon settlement
but high-ho silver, ride
high-ho silver, ride
take another ride to see me home
listen to me! i'm on the stereo stereo
oh my baby baby baby baby babe
gave me malaria hysteria
what about the voice of geddy lee
how did it get so high?
i wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy?
(i know him and he does!)
and you're my fact-checkin' cuz
(Aww...)
well focus on the quasar in the mist
the kaiser has a cyst
and i'm a blank want list
the qualms you have and if they stick
they will drown you in a crick
in the neck of a woods
that was populated by
tired nation on the fly
everybody knows advice
that was give out for free
lots of details to discern
lots of details
but high-ho silver ride
high-ho silver ride
takes another ride to make me
oh, get off the air
i'm on the stereo stereo
oh my baby baby baby baby baby babe
gave me malaria hysteria
It's very clear to me, just like it's in 3d
When total empathy sounds like it's ringing on my stereo
I'm bouncing off the wall, the way you turn me on
I think I like this song, sounds like it's ringing on my stereo
Deep in the scene, like the music getting fascinating
Touching the screen, like the view from my imagination
Ninety degrees, got me circulating
I've been waiting, Impatiently
Got me changing stations on occasion
What's your frequency?
Can you connect with me?
If it's alright your satellite can be my energy
Don't wanna be too bizarre but you're the key to my heart
You're my electric guitar, sounds like it's ringing on my stereo
It's very clear to me, just like it's in 3d
When total empathy sounds like it's ringing on my stereo
I'm bouncing off the wall, the way you turn me on
I think I like this song, sounds like it's ringing on my stereo
Survive the people's faces, they're dancing from temptation
Her icky style is wasted, you don't need no invitation
Hey there cutey boys
Making all the noise
It's getting hard up in here
You don't have a choice
What's your frequency?
Can you connect with me?
If it's alright your satellite can be my energy
Don't wanna be too bizarre but you're the key to my heart
You're my electric guitar, sounds like it's ringing on my stereo
It's very clear to me, just like it's in 3d
When total empathy sounds like it's ringing on my stereo
I'm bouncing off the wall, the way you turn me on
I think I like this song, sounds like it's ringing on my stereo
Oooohhh, Heeeey, Ooooh
It's very clear to me, just like it's in 3d
When total empathy sounds like it's ringing on my stereo
I'm bouncing off the wall, the way you turn me on
I think I like this song, sounds like it's ringing on my stereo
It's very clear to me, just like it's in 3d
When total empathy sounds like it's ringing on my stereo
I'm bouncing off the wall, the way you turn me on
Sei doch mal still, ich hör' doch eh schon stereo!
Komm doch mal mit, es könnte alles so einfach sein,
wenn ich dir und du mir erzählst, was dir am Herzen liegt.
Es geht leider nicht alles so, wie du es denkst.
Es geht leider nicht alles so, wie du es denkst.
Es geht leider nicht alles so, wie du es denkst.
Es geht leider nicht alles nur nach deinem Kopf.
Sei doch mal still, ich hör' doch eh schon stereo!
Denk doch mal um und sag nicht einfach es ist so und so,
und überhaupt lässt du nichts and'res gelten, weil Recht hast ja sowieso nur du.
Es geht leider nicht alles so, wie du es denkst.
Es geht leider nicht alles so, wie du es denkst.
Es geht leider nicht alles so, wie du es denkst.
Es geht leider nicht alles nur nach deinem Kopf.
Es geht leider nicht alles so, wie du es denkst.
Es geht leider nicht alles so, wie du es denkst.
Es geht leider nicht alles so, wie du es denkst.
Es geht leider nicht alles nur nach deinem Kopf.
We're all part of them, of this thoughtless world
A generation bought and sold
Buy a reproduced, stolen copy package
We've been taught to love this robotic formula
Built to please ignorant minds, uncultured masses
Do we know that our ears should failed us now?
Stereo, stereo tired bullshit dressed in gold
Withstand the youth, find the pieces
Stereo, stereo in the world that you've created
Follow the pieces
We're all bought and sold
Radio waves, they still transmit the same
Replica that which will stand this in decay
And as we resist and open our eyes to this
Uniform and standard model being said
We consume, well, our hearts have failed us now
Stereo, stereo tired bullshit dressed in gold
Withstand the youth, find the pieces
Stereo, stereo in the world that you've created
Follow the pieces
But do we know?
We've all been bought and sold
Yeah, bought and sold
We've all been bought and sold
Yeah, bought and sold
We've all been sold
To a world that failed us
Stereo, stereo tired bullshit dressed in gold
Withstand the youth, find the pieces
Stereo, stereo in the world that you've created
Follow the pieces
Stereo, stereo tired bullshit dressed in gold
Withstand the youth, find the pieces
Stereo, stereo in the world that you've created
Follow the pieces
We're all bought and sold
We're all bought and sold
She's a, fast love professional, crafty bold and beautiful,
Stage right, locked eyes, I swear it's magical,
Her name is Melanie, says she digs my melody
Likes how I move, thinks I'm cool that's what she says to me
Big stage, bright light, short love, long night
Frequent flies thru the skies to some stars
I come back to town, she's hangin' around
But still feels so real but it can't go too far
Her favourite colours be platinum and gold!
She only loves in stereo! she only loves in stereo!

Name dropping everyday, I still want her anyway..
I like how she moves, think she's cool.. my favourite get away
Big stage, bright light, short love, long night
Deja vu yeh we'll do it again, off the next town,
She's onto the next round,

Wasn't really me, so I had to let her go
Just ask any DJ back in her hotel
She likes to get around
As much as she gets down
Her favourite colours be platinum and gold!
She only loves in stereo! she only loves in stereo!

What ever happened to the life I thought I'd have
My life is a stereo kind of cheaply made though
How bad does it show what ever happened to my friends
What ever happened to the likes of all of them
My life is a stereo turn me on and let's go
Turn me up louder I'll scream as loud and clear as I
Can scream if you like what your hearing hang on to me
I like being here and I'm hooked up all wrong
Hang on to me though - I'm one in a million
And my lights are like candles
I'm so afraid of new technology
I'm in the race and I don't wanna be
Can we stop pretending put it off on me
I'm in the race
Life ends in a stereo pack pack me up and let's go
Put me anywhere and I'll be just fine
Please don't think of leaving me behind
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm not satisfied
With pretty little things
That's not your time
Forgive me if I need you
But that's what I got used to
Like staying at home on a Friday night
Falling asleep outside by firelight
You were all around me
This is how it has to be
Baby, baby, love me, love me
In stereo
Wrap both arms around me
Don't you ever let me go
I wanna hear you say you love me
In both ears
Just like guitars
On the radio
So baby, baby, love me, love me
In stereo, in stereo-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Hey I've got a plan
Lets get out of town
And not look back
Just me and you again
Laugh and smile
And play pretend
Baby, baby, love me, love me
In stereo
Wrap both arms around me
Don't you ever let me go
I wanna hear you say you love me
In both ears
Just like guitars
On the radio
So baby, baby, love me, love me
In stereo, in stereo-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Lets take all the good times
And put em in songs
No matter where we are
We can both sing along
Baby, baby, love me, love me
In stereo
Wrap both arms around me
Don't you ever let me go
I wanna hear you say you love me
In both ears
Just like guitars
On the radio
Baby, baby, love me, love me
In stereo
Wrap both arms around me

In both ears
Just like guitars
On the radio
So baby, baby, love me, love me
In stereo, in stereo-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
So turn me on
You set me free
Just look inside your speakers
And there you'll see me
Uh, there I go
2 clicks north of the bronx
Whoever thought she would found love in a stereo
2 headphones and a box
She gets me up
Every morning on the walk to school
She aint worried bout these other little kids
Cuz she told me
Everdyday they sayin something new
And you always got the illest kicks
Boom Boom tat
And she takes me out
Just so the block can see
Told me she wanted the world to know
So she makes me loud
Now the whole block wants me
But I'm all hers
And she's all mine
And even though her parents don't like me inside
Whenever her daddy comes around
We just hide
Cuz she doesn't wanna sleep without me that's why
I said
So turn me on
You set me free
Just look inside your speakers
And there you'll see me
So turn me on
You can set me free
Just look inside your speakers
And there you'll find me
There you'll find me
Yeah, and she loves my sound
It's why I'm always around
One of the most popular girls
In the class
Could... attract the crowd
Yeah and she got me down
Touches the right place when I'm fizzling out
And all of her friends love me
Cuz at all of the parties
I make em bounce b-bounce
Uh, if I play the right song
She might take it off
Meaning her clothes
You know I love it when she keeps the lights on
Play the music soft
Yeah so that's what I do
Anything for my boo
But when I hear the knock on the door
I Shhh-shut up
Cuz I know my cue
But when they gone
I'm back at it
She loves this song
So I blast it
Dad gets home
I hide in the cabinet
Flip my switch
Like gymnastics
Uh and Imma always be there for you
You just gotta find my plug
I'll be right here waiting for you in the middle of these speakers
If you ever wanna find my love
So turn me on
You set me free
Just look inside your speakers
And there you'll see me
So turn me on
You can set me free
Just look inside your speakers
And there you'll find me
There you'll find me
Uh, and she gets older
But I stay the same
And as she grows up
Her opinions change
Now she's off at college
W- are the ones like me
I just hope that one day she'll come back
To hear another song from me
But till then
I just sit in her room and collect dust
Thinkin about us
Waitin for the day she'll push my buttons
And I feel her touch
And get that rush
But I'm not what she needs
So I power down
Then right at that moment
I was found
Hello, her little sister walked in
Knew it was love at first sight
Caught a little twinkle in her eye when I made a sound
She snuck back in the same night
And even though she knows that she wasn't allowed
I know all she wanna do is be near me
One thing is that I felt the same
Wanna tell her but she can't hear me
So I said
So turn me on
You set me free
Just look inside your speakers
And there you'll see me
So turn me on
You can set me free
Just look inside your speakers
And there you'll find me
My life is a stereo
How loud does it go
What songs do I know
What happened to my plans
What ever happened to the life I thought I'd have
My life is a stereo
Kind of cheaply made, though
How bad does it show
What ever did become of all my friends
What ever happened to the likes of all of them
My life is a stereo
Turn me on and let's go
Turn me up louder
I'll scream as loud and clear as I can scream
If you like what you're hearing, please hang on to me
I like being here
And I'm hooked up all wrong
Hang on to me
Though I'm one of a million
And my lights are like candles
I'm so afraid of new technology
I'm in the race and I don't wanna be
I'm so afraid of what's to come to me
I'm in the race
Life ends in a stereo
Pack me up and let's go
Put me anywhere
Please don't think of leaving me behind
I have said everything I wanted to say
I've done all that's in my power to do right now
But still I seem to get in a way of myself
So shoot me while I'm walking away
And stop the pain I feel in my heart somehow
Taken all I the think I can take
I'm in hell
I don't wanna be your friend
But baby don't let me go
You know it's coming to an end
When you turn on the radio, radio, radio o-oh
My stereo don't play lovesongs at all,
My stereo don't play lovesongs at all,
My stereo don't play lovesongs at all, at all, at all, at all, no-o
My stereo don't play lovesongs at all,
It's ever since you came and broke my heart
My stereo don't play lovesongs at all, at all, at all, at all, no-o
Superman can make a mistake
Don't give up on the role of my heroine
I'm addicted and I'm starting to shake
I may never love again, so what does the singer know?
I guess it's coming to a end
When you turn on the radio, radio, radio, oh-oh
My stereo don't play lovesongs at all,
My stereo don't play lovesongs at all,
My stereo don't play lovesongs at all, at all, at all, at all, no-o
My stereo don't play lovesongs at all,
It's ever since you came and broke my heart
My stereo don't play lovesongs at all, at all, at all, at all, no-o
I don't wanna hear it no more
It's spoken and smashed on the floor like my heart,
My heart, my heart
You left in pieces
The DJ has left for the day
I think you're the person to blame
Cause your heart, your heart, your heart,
Your heart won't listen
My stereo don't play lovesongs at all,
My stereo don't play lovesongs at all,
My stereo don't play lovesongs at all, at all, at all, at all, no-o
My stereo don't play lovesongs at all,
It's ever since you came and broke my heart
Ooh la codeine slows automatically
Please tell me I've been wired where did I go
Well maybe as far away as ocean shores
Hands on my wheel only concentrating
Thinking 'bout the music in my head
Ooh la trippin' on the road down the coast of mexico
Ice of alaska maybe I should ask ya do you have a stereo
Hands on my wheel only concentrating
Thinking 'bout the music in my head
Ooh la waitin' ooh la waitin'
I wanna tell you just how I feel tonite yeh
You got the world wrapped around your little finger
Thinking 'bout the music in my head
Thinking 'bout the music in my head
We're too material, materialistic
But one possession I prize is just my stereo
I got her when I was five, after I wished it
Now all I need to survive's a simple stereo
She's with me when I'm feeling low
And no one else knows
I take her everywhere I go
Uh uh oh
The only girl in my life when other chicks dis'
Nobody there to confide in but my stereo
She sang Marley we vibe Natural Mystic
Until the day that I die gon' love my stereo
She's with me when I have no doe
Totally broke
I take her everywhere I go
Uh uh oh
Well my mother met her at a mall
I believe she had emigrated from Japan
On display but they ain't never let her music play
Because her boss was a mean old man
And he didn't like kid's dancing and rapping all around her bumpin' that hip-hop
But everybody love her in the ghetto and they start to groove
Whenever she be on the block to ROCK!
We're too material, materialistic
But one possession I prize is just my stereo
I got her when I was five, after I wished it
Now all I need to survive's a simple stereo
She's with me when I'm feeling low
And no one else knows
I take her everywhere I go
Uh uh oh
Hula Miodula przy sterach,
To moja ekipa, to moja bandera.
Po co ci ten gun? Przecież możesz wybierać,
Daje ci muzykę co do ludzi dociera.
To rastaman, najpierw siedział przy bitach,
Oryginalny sound, zajarała się ekipa.
Poklepywanie pleców, wydana pierwsza płyta,
Każdy z okolicy chciał znać takiego typa.
Niestety, koniec tej historii był prosty,
Świat showbiznesu był dla niego za ostry
Twarde dragi pomogły mu spalić te mosty,
Nie ma już dla niego brata, nie ma już siostry.
I został sam na własne życzenie,
Pół prawdy daje tylko pół to półcienie,
Bój się, bo miał tego pełne kieszenie.
Jak jest tego cena, żeby zostać podziemiem?
Jamal en stereo,
dans tes ecouteurs le message passe et vas tout droit dans ton cerveau,
J'te passe mon flow, casse les mots, tour de passe-passe comme au labo,
Moi et mes collabos, ont represente le hip-hop d'ici jusqu'au Colorado,
Du Mic acro, du rime mazo, chacuns de nous sur son radeau,
Sur le beat comme un oiseau, libre comme l'air ont s'infiltrent dans ta radio,
Video, ne vous faites des idees nous ne sommes pas des ideaux,
Contre les idees gauche, meme quand il fait auche,
C'est toujours la mauvaise herbe que l'on fauche,
Again!!
Le message se propage de Polska jusqu'a Rio,
A chacun son flow, a chacun son scenario,
Mr Frenchman et Jamal t'ecoutes le duo,
So turn me on

I was blinded staring at the sun
I was tortured but it felt so good
And as I lay awake tonight
Kept alive by the pouring of the moonlight
Here's the devil coming up to me
Said "You like a friend in need"
I said "I've got some things to say"
As he listened he began to sing
(chorus)
Ahhahh Ahhahh Ahhahh Ahhahh
Turn off the lights and turn on the stereo x3
Turn off the lights and turn on the-
I know we fall
I know we burn
She died in the bedroom of the last man's son
And so we fall
And so we burn
She died in the bedroom of the last man's son
So a mighty wind began to blow
Taking all not bolted to the floor
And as my heart began to fear
Up came wind a-screaming in my ear
(chorus) x2
when you came on emotion I've never known
I'm waiting for you, aching for you
when you came home you found me waiting by the phone
we know that you have got a mind of your own
we know you don't got a reason you just don't
we know that something's wrong
one gets up, one gets in
you can count me out
but everybody wants to get that feeling
something's wrong it's not for you
but everybody wants to get a piece of my heart
now you come on this time you're way too strong
I'm breaking from you, quitting on you
I guess it's true what they say
about all good things must come to end
I'm so tired that I retire
one more nail in the coffin
what you wanted
you know what i'm saying
it happened long ago
for reasons i don't want to know
the only thing i learned
i know you won't return
and i'm doomed to a life i don't wanna know
but i keep moving on
and hope i'm hanging on
now i'm stuck here singing no i don't belong
but we were wrong
we were wrong to get involved
now it's all our fault
it's turned into something we don't need
but i didn't know
what shame it was and it's all my fault
i know i said somethings that i don't mean
let go
tell me why cause i don't know
the reasons that you had to go
the reasons that you said goodbye
come back
i may be down but i'm still intact
and holding on i can't look back
does it make you wonder why
how could i be so blind?
i spent last summer waiting
waiting for a chance
last in line but i got no patience
the only thing i learned
i know you won't return
and i'm still stuck here singing no i won't be heard
everyone is staring at me now
but it's not the same
i didn't know
it doesn't mean you have to go far away
i didn't know
it doesn't mean we have to throw it away
i didn't know
i can't believe it but i see it
and i can't change your mind
it's 4am
but i am wide awake and staring at the wall
my mind is mess
as my eyes beg for rest my ears wait for your call
lying in bed
thinking of ways to stack my cards so they won't fall
i feel like i'm dead
the puzzle pieces fit but make no sense at all
now that you're gone
i can't go on
it won't be long
who's that knocking at my door?
who could be there?
my guess it's the one i adore
cause i can't get to sleep anymore
when i do it's dreams of you at my door
it's a feeling just too hard to ignore
cause it's you i want to be there at my door
all things said and done you were the worst to come my way
but nothing has changed since you've gone away
when i look around reminded how you took my breath away
i know have issues, like maybe i miss you
what would it take for you to stay?
We've got lots of problems
We've got the rest of our whole lives
To figure out what to do with all the starry nights
Oh no, it's clear, we won't have chauffeurs or gondoliers
But I'll serenade you every night, a little song for your lullaby
We'll play all your records, we'll knock on heaven's door
Like G n' R, Slash on guitar
So now you see, I'm stuck on you cause your stuck on me
And it might get cold, but I'm here to hold
Oh don't you fear, I won't go far if you are near
hey Mona, Ramona I told you Ramona
I'll be back in four years
to put us back in high gear
so will you wait for me
will you say that I'm the only one
Ramona please wait for me
when it seems too long and you're not that strong
I understand what you're going through
but not these stupid things you do
it's just another part of you
but she would never go with me
and she would never go with me
every now and then you make up your face to pretend
you know it's shame what they say it's in awful taste
well this time my friend it's the end
the only one who understands
the only guy who'll stand by your side tonight
who dries all the tears you cry
now you're out of control but you seem to think it don't show
you know it's a shame what they say it's in real bad taste
but they might have a point it's your life that you waste
I tried my best to reach you
I tried my best but it's the same thing
it's always the same thing
if you wanna slip away and leave us today
it won't make your problems just go away
she turned around to walk away
a different guy for everyday
this is a song of much dismay
still she would never go with me
turn off the TV and sing
we look lost, where to begin?
step outside the cage in your head
the station's wrong, the frequency dead
somehow this seems
like a hollywood blockbuster scene
like a football team
but it's not a good thing at all
it's a sign we cannot read
turn off the radio now
we don't know why or know how
how this could be
like a nightmare on your street dream
like a friday 13
but it's such a waste of our time
it's a mess that we can't clean
feel the urgency
say it's allright this emergency
and wonder what it means
so stay in tonight a just watch TV
so what do we need
it's the same out of date harmony
like some tired melody
and it's such a waste of our time
It's a true story, two in the morning
You pulled me out of bed so we could go bowling
Met at the alley, I made a turkey
It never works but the possibility is always there
Simple hesitations undermined
Two weeks later you're my valentine
And when we fall it's fine
Perfect moment please don't end
Tonight I got my strike on the colored pin
My crutches, I don't need them
Hallelujah, I'm saved, can I have an amen?
Like all the best passages underlined
Swimming with you in the summertime
everyone's so into you
but that's not what you're into
you're so confused you've lost your mind
you feel washed up you feel so left behind
everyone's so into you
but that's not what you're into
can anybody comprehend the risks involved
and the chance you take to pretend?
does anybody truly see?
does everybody know but me?
no longer will i sleep alone
wasting my life by the phone
no longer will i cry another tear for you
everyone's so into you
but that's not what you're into
you need not have to carry on
you can't let go or run home anymore
everyone's so into you
but that's not what you're into
it's plain to see what's eating me
it's hard to part but you make it so easy
i'm through yeah that's right
that girl is all alone
and she's got the wrong idea
she's always on the phone
so she never hears the ringer
picked up the phone today
and could not believe my ears
everything's wrong what i wanted to say
confirming my worst fears
sing a new song
turn the amp on
pick up my guitar
i get down when i sing
there's no hope for me now
i'm checking out
this girl can't stand no more
cause she's got no recollection
something to do but i don't know why
no reason, no connection
sing a new song
turn the amp on
pick up my guitar
i get down when i sing
there's no hope for me now
where do we go from here
where do we go when emotion ain't clear
sing a new song
all that i want
to do this lifetime
sing a new song
all that want
to sing a new song
is all that i want to do in life
when i woke up today
i wanted to say
i wanted you to know
that my answer is no
and i can't buy you the words
to show you how much this hurts
someone is with you
that someone's not me
what were you thinking
how could you do this to me?
i want to let go
to take back all those things i wrote
so i put on my headphones
take me away
take me far, radio
i should have known better
but i'd already come this far
so i wrote you a letter
please accept, now in effect
that i don't love you, anymore
Unordinary
this is no ordinary kiss
that you planted on my lips
one i wouldn't want to miss
but it's all come down to this
is my chance to make it right
say my piece & then goodnight
when you go to sleep tonight
can i be there at your side
i can't take it anymore
i have to tell you to be sure
i don't want to live without you anymore
this is no ordinary kiss
that you planted on my lips
never felt like this before
or knew what was in store
i know you must think i'm crazy
i don't blame you baby
what have we learned?
this has gone far enough
for one whole year i needed you
but you never had a clue
so this is where it ends
& hopefully where we begin
so now what are we to do?
you had no clue
i can't live without you
i'm incomplete
sense of defeat
lyrics ©1998 make no mistake music (ascap).
it's no wonder i'm alone
unused ringing telephone
is all that's between my happiness
and a last chance at loneliness
much to my dismay i lie
much to my surprise i fight
attempts people make are ridiculous
try so hard to remain ambiguous
you know it's hard to be somebody
when everyone around me is laughing
all that i can do is nothing
i swear it's ok
i want you to stay
so tell me what do you say
all my life i've waited for this moment
i want you to know
i swear that i'll go
if you take one more step, don't
cause all my life i've waited for this moment
it's enough to make you cry
but still you have to wonder why
more than you know i envy you
You want it, you need it
But always give up so easy
So what now? so be it
You always give up so easy
Alright, alright
Hangin on, holding out
A bitter end to all our doubts
Genius invention
Of clever misdirection
If it's the same every time
Then why can't i
Make my brain decide
I want to believe you
Anytime, anywhere
27, only halfway there
It's a miracle i've made it this far
But now my tires are running out of air
Take me to the wall
I'm breaking up
You're making my mistake
You better believe it
Cause this time is different i mean it
Game over, defeated
The end is all but completed
forgotten good times line my floor
I've still got the poster up on my door
the first show we ever played
our first tour
time passes and heals old wounds
I still remember when you crooned:
"I could see it coming from miles away"
I don't mean to salt you were you bleed
I just never wanted it to end this way
woah you can't go home again
I understand your fears now
it took some time
but I came around
we've all lost loves
that in time we found
maybe thirty hour drives
made it hard for you to survive
at the very least
wait
everybody wants to be with you
but everybody knows there's more to you
than what you say there is, we know it's true
you didn't want to know we know it's you
you didn't have guts to say what's on your mind
and it's too late now, you're out of time
you wanted, to be there
say i'm wrong, you know it's true
you were the one, you were the one
I didn't hear a word of what you said
i'm sorry but I can't explain the things you do
you want to stay, but walk away
we didn't have guts to see it through
we didn't have guts to say what's on our minds
and it's too late now, you're out of time
everybody wants to be with you
but they don't know us or what we've been through
it's over now
i didn't know it could end
i didn't know how
so you said goodbye
i wouldn't believe those words
until you look me in the eye
if i ever wanted anything
it's you cause you're my everything
you wanted more
more than i could bare to afford
you took away my heart from me
it's hard to see
from where i want to be
with you
don't ask me why
you're not the only one
who's thrown away their life and wants to die
so look at me now
does it make it so much better
to hear i'm hurt, to hear i'm down?
this is my last chance
is this really what we want?
now that you have gone away
you are far away from me
thanks alot
i've waited so long
wanna get things straight
but now it's all too little
too late
i won't sit, i can't resist
i don't mean to drag this out
one last kiss, one left to miss
your heart stopped beating on it's own
forget that girl
your lungs stopped breathing on their own
forget that girl
your eyes can't see behind your truth
forget that girl
and your mind can't think, so what's the use
forget that girl
it's a lame excuse for being rude
an all out snotty attitude
no rhyme, no reason, no remorse
forget that girl
no matter which you think is worse
forget that girl
this might hurt now, but give it time
forget that girl
take that first step and you'll be fine
forget that girl
if you end up safe home tonight
you might have finally got it right
sound off, take a stand
sound off, baby, while you can
sound off, safe at home
sound off, maybe, i don't know
sound off, no one knew
sound off, baby, where are you?
you don't really mean it, do you know?
forget that girl
and you might believe it, but can you show?
forget that girl
it's the easy way of giving up
a real fast way to lose, then what?
your heart stopped beating on it's own
forget that girl
your lungs stopped breathing on their own
i'm sorry i hurt you
what i did was wrong
i didn't want to step on you
maybe you could see to forgive me
if not i understand, i'll be a man, i'll work on it
no one but me
cause it just doesn't matter
alone in deep
cause it doesn't get better
it's wrong
when i string you along i go on and on and on
i told you that i never listen
you're never here
i'm never there when you need me
baby what can i do? you mean everything to me
but you're not at fault
my heart was broken before we were involved
had i not run out on you
you might be miserable
let's take some time and talk it through
i want to stay close to you
be able to talk to you
as long as it's cool with you
hey there 15
please stop feeling sorry for yourself
i know what you mean
when everyone burns and beats up on you
it's hard to believe
but i was just like you when i was young
and sometimes i feel
like an adult version of
a kid who wasn't cool
a complete outcast in school
with no where to turn
how those punches burn
and turn into bleeding
hey football dad
some kids don't want what you demand
take it from me
you can do more harm than you know
it's hard to believe
but i was just like you when i was young
and sometimes i feel
like an adult version of
i could not believe
why they all picked me
it's not fair
trouble breeds fear
times were tough in your house
but don't blame your kids it's their way out of here
it's something you've grown up to fear
it's not that's it's wrong it's just different
is it yours or your father's worst nightmare?
times were tough in your house
You've got some nerve showing your face here
You've got no business being this near
I tried so hard to make things right
I tried so hard but I just can't fight
Cause there is no other way
Cause you just can't stay away
So long to common sense again
You've lost your mind, you've messed it up again
Don't call, don't write, don't bother me
Don't think that we're still friends you just don't see
Cause there is no other way
Cause you just can't stay away
So long to common sense again
You've lost your mind, you've messed it up again
And I turned around things are upside down
But I don't know what it means
I try to figure out what it's all about
And how it all relates to me
Oh we're bottled up inside
Our problems amplified
Wake up in the morning and no one else is home
To hold us when we're feeling left alone
You've got some nerve showing your face here
You've got no business being this near
Cause there is no other way
Cause you just can't stay away
So long to common sense again
You've lost your mind, you've messed it up again
Say something
Say something
Say something
Anything at all
I try to figure out what it's all about
And how it all relates to me
Oh we're bottled up inside
Our problems amplified
Wake up in the morning and no one else is home
i can't seem to make sense of this
or my inferior defense
set me up only then to knock me down
i don't need anybody now
so i won't let get to me
the view from which i see
is nothing more than what i used to be
on our way back from yesterday
you are far too good anyway
what i need is some time to get it right
maybe i'll call you up tonight
so i won't let get to me
the view from which i see
is nothing more than what i used to be
and if we can't make it through
no matter what you do
i'll always be here thinking of you
oh the irony
place your choke on me
until i can't breathe
dove in after you
say it isn't true
i don't know what i'll do
so i won't let get to me
the view from which i see
is nothing more than what i used to be
and if we can't make it through
no matter what you do
i'll always be here thinking of you
but i might just fall apart
before we even start
drop everything
this train leaves tonight
I promise you
things will be alright
say anything
that might come to mind
do anything
put your fears behind
making up the rest
when you know they know the truth
if everyone found out about
how doubt's killing you
my mama told me
get out before they bleed you dry
but as expected
I wouldn't listen to her
a part of you, a part of me
one gets it wrong
the other bleeds from lack of affection
now i don't see the attraction
will you wait?, will you stay?
or will you walk away?
i can't expect too much from you
with all of what you put me through
one day, someday
i'll find a way
one day, someday if at all
without a plan, without a doubt
i try to figure out
just what it is that makes you sad
when i fail to learn then it makes me mad
i'm hanging on, i still have hope
but i may never know
just what it was that made you leave
i swear i must be blind not to have seen
you brought this on
you made it hard for us to speak again
god only knows what you were thinking
i do my best to be myself
i don't want anybody else
only a fool would fall for you, not in a million years
what could be wrong with me
even with all the years you're all I need
what could be wrong with me
what could be wrong with you
you're stubborn
or do you care about what you do
what could be wrong with you
I thought I knew you well but I was wrong
you don't care at all
is there a reason why?
if you would try you might decide to go
and you can do anything if you want to
and you can be all of that if you want to
and you can say anything
but you can't say I'm wrong
Pack up your things tonight
This trip may be long but it's alright
Painful to recognize
But it's not something you should compromise
There goes my mouth again
When the words go too fast and my sentence won't end
There goes my feet again
Now I'm running to protect beliefs I defend
Running out good excuses again
Guess what I'm thinking, it's not what you're thinking
It's not even what you might have thought
I've done some thinking about you
There goes my life again
Put on hold to pursue my intentions intent
There goes my mind with that
Now you got everything that I have it's a fact
You got everything but the point is exact
Not again I told everyone I'm gone
I said that before but was always wrong
Not again I told everybody but it won't be long
As the story unfolds
Time will tell all it's tales and the truth will be know
Someday after I am old
I will look back and say with some pride that I know
I'm a virus, an infection in this arterial americaI'm a
part of you, and you're a part of me.
Symbiotic? Parasitic? I don't know which one yet
But I know that you keep feeding, keep feeding me.
Yeah, yeah, a kiss from this syringe
Yeah, yeah, whispers truth under your skin
Your life moves to my heartbeat
I'm the oxygen you breath, you'll never get rid of me
I'm the dream that keeps you up at night
Still there when you open your eyes
The hidden truth in all your little lies
Yeah, yeah, a kiss from this syringe
Yeah, yeah, whispers truth under your skin
you didn't need nobody
you didn't want no one
you made a bad decision
now you're down and you got no one
where do you go when you're gone?
is something wrong with me?
cause when i leave you seem kinda happy
what did i do? what did i say?
cause something's wrong and you don't want to tell me
it's so easy, follow me
so i can't
find the words to describe
exactly how i feel
if i could just let go
i would tell you how i feel
don't be sad
it's too bad
say it ain't so
you're becoming a real drag
let it go
cause it's not about you alone
you want a new beginning
say you're a modern girl
you made up all your feelings
you're down and out in a modern world
i've made some big mistakes
so go ahead laugh at me
i've made some big mistakes
i'll wear my army coat
cause that's all that i own
i won't forget about
the time spent so alone
you wear your navy shirt
and plaid skirt, no cell phone
those were our better days
i'd die to be there today
in 1994 it seems so far away from 1998
we use to say that we would never let go
we use to say things were OK but now i don't know
i'm afraid to wake up so i won't
if you know any other way, i don't
where were you before 1994?
why did you walk away in 1998?
i can't take anymore cause 1994
it seems so far away from 1998
the songs we use to sing
the walks that we would talk
forget about those days
i said i wouldn't do this but here i am alone
reaching for your arms
to hold me like they use to a long time ago
always knew you are
the reason i feel this way inside
please tell me there's no need to run and hide
please don't break my heart
i never had so many things to say to you
or play on my guitar
but like a two-bit shakespear tragedy
you won't save me from the part
where you decide that we no longer work
then i break down and oh my god this hurts
please don't break my heart
i said i wouldn't do this a long time ago
please don't break my heart
i never really knew how much you mean to me
please don't break my heart
and i can't see my myself without you
it seems all wrong to me
and i can't carry on without you and me
what good would it do?
when your not around there's no way i could pull through
i can't get away from this pending solution
it's that kind of thinking baby
that gets me in trouble
quit talking to me now baby
i just want be left alone
it's so simple for you to
move into my world and break it
well i can't take it
pay no attention to my broken heart
it doesn't matter my world's fallen apart
solve this equation, my humilliation
my eyes are a dead give away
my ears to the phone
my body's a tabloid paper
if my smile didn't tell you all
see my sorry eyes
and say your last goodbye
the jury now decides
i'm not supposed to cry
take away from me
all my hopes and dreams
it's easy when you're all alone
This has no meaning, it's a song
This isn't the first of many but it's plenty
I can't compete, i can't complete
I can't do what i am told, it's gets old
There's too much pressure to fit in
Too much it's so over-barring, always staring
Say goodbye to what you are
To what you know, it's all about to go
A life worth less than zero, 1, 2, 3
Everyone wake up on 1, 2, 3
There's too much pressure to fit in
Too much it's so over-barring, always staring
It's all a big elaborate hoax
The joke is so overrated, complicated
You got away from me
Just this time but not the next time
i feel so stupid after all
its all so strange what could be wrong?
you're gone but still you're on my sonar
there has to be some huge mistake
what girl in her right mind would take
this boy for granted, you're on my sonar
what could be so perfect won't
and you could love me but you don't
i'm separated from you now
i can't believe this tell me how
don't run away, so inclined to take the easy way
don't cause a scene, don't decide you are through
you're not so tough, things are rough, find a better way
something gets a hold of me when my head gets inside of you
call you, this is for you
i will see you from a new view
new tokyo is calling you
you've got a way that distracts me from my everyday
not much to say, on our way, so let us through
we're not afraid of the harmful things that you might say
you might be right, we might be wrong
be strong, get ready to...
we're not giving up
even after heavy casulties
things are looking up
songs are catching like it's some disease
when you wake up on sunday morning
when you wake up but i'm still asleep
there is something that you抮e tired of hiding
there is something that you抮e trying to keep
i'm not saying that it抯 time to go home
i'm not saying that it抯 time you move on
everyone抯 to blame
we抮e all the same
and it抯 just a game
you don抰 seem to give damn about me
you don抰 even want to set me free
i am tired of this situation
i am tired will you let me be
everybody
everyone
needs that someone
anyone
to turn to when this world gets old
it抯 all downhill from here you know?
this is all over now
i'll leave and you抣l be a memory
when you say goodbye
i'll leave and you抣l be a memory
you don't have to run away cause you're ok with me
and you don't have to be afraid cause it's alright with me
i have only myself to blame
it's a shame, is it true?
all the clues point to me, is it true?
that's not me now i'm through
i would have guessed you would have passed this test
so i confess to all this mess
i know what i've been told and that"s how the story goes
everyday people call themselves emo
it's just a bad disguise is it something hidden in their eyes
hey, get set for the brand new sound
it抯 perfect in every way
unlike any before you抳e found
at least that抯 what we抮e told to say
hey, we抮e smarter than that don抰 you know
but you counted the heads so hit play
and assume what you don抰 really know
now there抯 something that we抎 like to say
it抯 easy to make up
it抯 not hard to fake
watch how they do it to me
this is serious... it抯 a big mistake
hey, i grew up with the sound around
spent my summers just listening
with no reason to turn it down
i would listen
now, i've grown up and i understand
target us with a marketing plan
but they抳e seemed to forgotten why
the music抯 a lie when the target抯 tried
what have we done?
what have we created?
what does this mean?
Am I a victim of your childish crusade?
You took my money, now the wager is paid in full
That was a favor, what a low blow
You're talking funny, you're acting so strange
Your opportunities are way out, way out
I tried to run you said, "It's best not to go"
I asked somebody if the answer was 'yes' you said 'no'
Get over yourself, leave me alone
Don't act so cool, you've got nothing to say
Your fuzzy memory is way out, way out
Fading, falling, along I want to remind you
Oh, fading, falling along I want to remind you
I'm not trying to pull apart
Your life from the very start
I don't want to make things worse
So lose the curse
You hear me ringing, I know that you're home
You act so tough but you're afraid to pick up the phone
What is the problem? What can I do?
I'm giving up there's nothing left I can say
The situation's blown way out, way out
Fading, falling, along I want to remind you
Oh, fading, falling along I want to remind you
I'm not trying to pull apart
Your life from the very start
I don't want to make things worse
So lose the curse
I just want to end this fight
And I don't care about who's right
I don't want to make things worse
So lose the curse
And I can't take this any more
We might not be like before
Let's not make things any worse
my face is burning from the sun
and I'm not having any fun
everyone is on the run
my friends they tried to let me know
but I tried not to let it show
now I've got no where else to go
and you will not be alone
you can be sure of that cause I don't wanna go
you're divine, so divine
take what's mine
my heart, my soul and everything I own
you make it so believable, so believable
that I could have someone to call my own
I lost the race that I had run in place of having anyone
I told myself that I was done
and now I have to see it through
cause my loose ends are tied to you
what am I supposed to do?
and you will not be alone
you can be sure of that cause I don't wanna go
you're divine, so divine
take what's mine
my heart, my soul and everything I own
you make it so believable, so believable
that I could have someone
what do I have to do? what can I say to get to you?
what if it is much worse on the inside?
maybe what I said was wrong
and maybe we weren't meant to get along
maybe i feel much worse on the inside? on the inside, on the inside
you're divine, so divine
take what's mine
my heart, my soul and everything I own
well, you make it so believable, so believable
if you have a moment to spare for me
if you need a friend that I will be
if you need some company then call me
if you wanna see a bad movie
if you still believe you can trust me
if you need a hand to hold
there, look down by your knee
no matter what you're going through
no matter what you did or said you'd do
no matter what it is, I will help you
if you make a call I will dial 9
if you're short on bus fare I will drive
if you need a warmer coat here take mine
if you want I'll get down on my knees
and if you stay I'll get you your own key
if you need another dying wish then you can kill me
if you have a stain I'll shout it out
tell me all your fears and have no doubt
if you need some privacy I will get the hell out
if you've lost your watch I have the time
and when you have the time I've got the perfect crime
i can't go on thinking it's all because of me
it's wrong to sing this song without a shout to these
people that made all of this possible
the people i adore
yes i know my time is short so i will state my point of view
all the crazy things i get to do
is all because of you
my shoes untied
and they are laughing
I understand but
why am I still pretending?
oooo my hands are tied
oooo is it true you lied?
oooo does it have to be
this way between us?
oh Jesus
I wanna dance
I want to hold hands
but I can't say the words
they go by much too fast
I tried to be your perfect guy
say no more
cross my heart and hope to die
