"Only Young"

"Only Young"


Nothing to do
But sit around and make a mess with you
Watching the world
From rooftop looking down
We never care
Summertime and we ain't going anywhere
No goodbyes...

We're only young... running wild
Only young... get it right
We've got all the time in the world tonight
We're only young... you and I
Only young... let it ride
Right here... the best night of our lives!

Let's go down in flames
Tomorrows just a million miles away
We got tonight
So let's tear this town apart
We'll never change
We'll party like it's graduation day
No goodbyes...
We'll stay right here...
Laugh til we cry...

We're only young... running wild
Only young... get it right
We've got all the time in the world tonight
We're only young... you and I
Only young... let it ride
Right here... the best night of our lives!

(Tonight tonight) We'll make some history
(Tonight tonight) We'll burn some memories
(Tonight tonight) Legends never die
(Tonight tonight) It's like a movie
(Tonight tonight) The way it should be
(Tonight tonight) All we've got is time

We're only... and we don't care
If we get old... and lose our hair
Right now... the best night of our lives

We're only young... running wild
Only young... get it right
We've got all the time in the world tonight

We're only young... you and I
Only young... let it ride
Right here... the best night of our lives!

"Other Girls"

"Other Girls"


It only takes a minute
Yeah a minute or two
Just like stubbing your toe
Or slamming the door on your finger
Pull out the stinger
And then move on the the next little drama queen
Then go and get some sleep
And dream
Yeah lay your head back and dream
About the girl you had
That broke your broken heart
The one that said she'd love you from the start
And when the nightmares over
Call and thank her for
All the

Memories
Injuries
Flowered sheets and hypocrisies
All the picture frames
The carpet stains
And say thank you for your time

That's what other girls are for
If we run out somebody will make some more
No need to pick yourself up off the floor
Cause that's what other girls are for

It doesn't make a difference
It doesn't matter at all
She's just another chapter
Another song you loved, then hated
She's overrated
So send her flowers
Saying thank you for all the

There's just something about 'em you know
They're like top 40 radio
And if you're having trouble letting go
Then maybe you should move to Canada now

"Out The Window"

"Out The Window"


You said to never ever come back
I wasn't sure exactly what you meant by that
I know that we have had some problems
But I've got solutions in my head

[Chorus:]
So I jumped out the window
And down the fire escape
Broke the window, who needs car keys anyway?
Climbed through the window, I thought led to your heart
Thrown out the window, there was nothing there to break my fall.

Sorry I sent you all the flowers
I heard your boyfriend wants to shove them up my ass
I never meant to cause you problems
But I've got solutions in my head.

[Chorus]

You said it's over
You said never again
Why does this happen all the time?
You don't even want to be friends
It makes you happy when I cry
Now all I've got left is my sanity
Now all I've got left is my sanity
And I'm not sure how far it goes.

"Pictures He Drew"

"Pictures He Drew"


He got up this morning
Rolled out of bed
And went out to change the world
Her head on his shoulder
he settles her down
It all started over and over again

His mom made him breakfast
Gets on the bus goes out to see the world
He lies on the ground, wipes blood from his nose
Wonders why he’s the one that doesn’t fit in

[chorus]
The pictures he drew
But if only they told him
You’re never gonna be like anyone
And that’s okay
Give in to you’re feelings
Don’t give in to the ones that will own ya
Sometimes they just don’t go away

Six double martinis, a night on the town
it sure makes the mornings long
He never imagined a life time lie this would be
The only thing to let him get in

He gets up
He falls down
Wishes he could get the nerve to end it all now
He picks up the phone
And he slams it down
And swallows another
Now he’ll never come around
It’s all or none
It’s one for one
You can make it
But you gotta do it all for you’re self

"Psycho"

"Psycho"


I told you time and time again
that we would meet just as friends
and now i just can't seem to get my story through
if i'd known all about this then
i wouldn't have said the things I said
im left now with a problem
what to do

cuz i can't seem to tell her
exactly the way i feel
i can't seem to find the words to show what i know is real

and if she calls me on the phone
wont you tell her im not home
just say ive gone so very far away
if she asks when ill return
tell her that you have not learned
and that i might have plans to stay

cuz i can't seem to tell her
exactly the way i feel i
can't seem to find the words to show what i know is real
i can't seem to tell her
exactly the way i feel
i can't seem to find the words to show what i know is real

here she comes again
this time surrounded by her friends
do i pretend that i dont see her or say hi
she asks me if im free
i said i would if it was up to me
and pray she sees the truth behind my lie

cuz i can't seem to tell her
exactly the way i feel
i can't seem to find the words to show what i know is real
i can't seem to tell her
exactly the way i feel
i can't seem to find the words to show what i know is real

"Punk Rock 101"

"Punk Rock 101"


She works at hot topic
His heart microscopic
She thinks that its love but to him its sex
He listens to emo but fat mike's his hero
His bank account's zero
What comes next?

Same song different chorus

[Chorus:]
It's stupid, contagious
To be broke and famous
Can someone please save us from punk rock 101
My Dickies, your sweat pants
My spiked hair, your new Vans
Let's throw up our rock hands for punk rock 101

She bought him a skateboard, a rail slide, his knee tore
He traded it for drums at the local pawn shop
She left him for staring at girls and not caring
When she cried because she thought Bon Jovi broke up

Same song second chorus

[Chorus]

Don't forget to delay... on the very last word

Seven years later he works as a waiter
She married a trucker and he's never there
The story never changes, just the names and faces
Like Tommy and Gina they're living on a prayer

Did you just say that?
I said

[Chorus x2]

It's stupid, contagious (same song different chorus)
To be broke and famous (same song different chorus)
Can someone please save us from punk rock 101
My Dickies, your rock hands
My spiked hair, your new Vans
Let's shoplift some sweatbands for punk rock 101

"Real"

"Real"


I think it's time that we move ahead
To the place we never wanted to go
There's no sense in looking back
Let the final credits roll
I could never live up to
The man that's in your head
You want the guy from the notebook
But you got me instead

But you'll be sorry when I'm gone

I never said I was perfect
Who the hell wants perfect anyway?
Sometimes I really f*ck up
But baby I learn from my mistakes
And I don’t know what I'm supposed to be
All that I ever am is me
And I'll never gonna change, here's the deal
I'm just trying to be real, real, real
I'm just trying to be real, real, real

I never was the hip kid
I always use words like hip
Judas Priest on my walkman
When Culture Club was the shit (I'd tumble for you)
I drive a ‘91 Volvo
The a/c still works fine
I'm happy with my Miller Lite
While everyone's drinking wine

'Cause it's less spilling, it tastes great

I never said I was perfect
Who the hell wants perfect anyway?
Sometimes I really f*ck up
But baby I learn from my mistakes
And I don’t know what I'm supposed to be
All that I ever am is me
And I'll never gonna change, here's the deal
I'm just trying to be real, real, real
I'm just trying to be real, real, real

You can have your gluten free pizza, I've got taco bell
(Make a run for the border)
You can try your best to change me
I just gotta be myself

I never said I was perfect
Who the hell wants perfect anyway?
Sometimes I really f*ck up
Baby I learn from my mistakes
And I don’t know what I'm supposed to be
All that I ever am is me
And I'll never gonna change, here's the deal
(Never gonna change)

I never said I was perfect
Who the hell wants perfect anyway?
Sometimes I really f*ck up
But baby I learn from my mistakes
And I don’t know what I'm supposed to be
All that I ever am is me
And I'll never gonna change, here's the deal
I'm just trying to be real, real, real
I'm just trying to be real, real, real

"Really Might Be Gone"

"Really Might Be Gone"


(Maybe I'll get through it)
Not much to lean on, I'll get through it
You know I do it to myself anyway
She's got my calls blocked and she's through with it
You know I do it to myself anyway

You know I think it might be time
To give myself a rise and shine
And I'll be happy and my couch is gonna miss me
And all the girls will wanna kiss me

Gotta get my shit together (Gotta get my shit together)
Cause this is dragging on and on
And I can't wait around forever (I can't wait around forever)
I'm starting to think she really might be gone (Yeah)

She's got a boyfriend, I'm looking through it
And I can't do it to myself anyway
And I won't slam her cause I blew it
You know I do it to myself anyway

And maybe she doesn't have the time
To deal with issues such as mine
And she'll be happy but I swear she's gonna miss me
Cause all the girls will wanna kiss me

Gotta get my shit together (Gotta get my shit together)
Cause this is dragging on and on
And I can't wait around forever (I can't wait around forever)
I'm starting to think she really might be gone

And I
Didn't want us to say
I didn't want us to say (Yeah)
And I
I'm better off this way
I'm better off this way without you anyway

Gotta get my shit together (It's dragging on)
Cause this is dragging on and on
And I can't wait around forever (She might be gone)
I'm starting to think she really might be gone

Gotta get my shit together (Gotta get my shit together)
I've gotta get my shit together (I can't wait around forever)
Gotta get my shit together (She might be gone)
Yea! Oh! C'mon! (Yeah that is BS)

"Ride Of A Lifetime"

"Ride Of A Lifetime"


Here’s a story about a man and a mountain
He climbed it because it was there
And here’s a song about the moon and a rocket ship
Set your mind to it you can go anywhere

Don’t tell me no (don’t tell me no)
Just stand back and watch me shine

I’m going straight to the top
I’m never gonna stop
Over, under, I’ll find some way
Straight to the top
I’m never gonna stop
Everybody hold tight (everything will be alright)
Brace yourself for the ride
Ride of a lifetime
Ride of a lifetime

Here’s message I was so glad I was given
When you fall you got to jump back on
And I’m a fighter, I’m a winner, I’m the mack daddy
My cups not empty it’s just not so full

Don’t tell me no (don’t tell me no)
Just stand back and watch me shine

I’m going straight to the top
I’m never gonna stop
Over, under, I’ll find some way
Straight to the top
I’m never gonna stop
Everybody hold tight (everything will be alright)
Brace yourself for the ride
Ride of a lifetime
Ride of a lifetime

Hold your hands up high (wave your arms from side to side)
Throw your fists in the air (wave them like you just don’t care)
Stand up, stand up (everybody stand up)
Turn it on, turn it up, never gonna come back down
I’m going straight to the top
I’m never gonna stop
Over, under, I’ll find some way
Straight to the top
I’m never gonna stop
Everybody hold tight (everything will be alright)
Brace yourself for the ride
Ride of a lifetime
Ride of a lifetime

"Ridiculous (Looking Up)"

"Ridiculous (Looking Up)"


Try not to talk when there's nothing to say.
Kept bottled up, we get carried away.
Then I fall, then I fall down.
Then we fall down.

And you know that it makes me feel so ridiculous.
A pocket full of posies..

We fall down on the inside; pretty on the outside.
Turn it around, can we turn it around?
Try to make a comeback with nowhere to start from now.
But it's looking up.

A second chance, a much better day.
A sunset that just won't go away.
Then I fall, then I fall down.
We all fall down.

And you know that it makes me feel so ridiculous.
A pocket full of posies..

We fall down on the inside; pretty on the outside.
Turn it around, can we turn it around?
Try to make a comeback with nowhere to start from now.
But it's looking up.

And you know you said you'd never end up this way.
Close the door behind you, i just wanna stay for a while.
We all fall down, we all fall down, we all fall..

Down on the inside; pretty on the outside.
Turn it around, can we turn it around?
Try to make a comeback with nowhere to start from now.
But it's looking up.

Down on the inside; pretty on the outside.
Turn it around, can we turn it around?
Try to make a comeback with nowhere to start from now.
But it's looking up.
