"Drinkin Beer On A Sunday"

"Drinkin Beer On A Sunday"


One day my grandpa asked me, "J.R. why you look so blue?
You've got the whole world out there just awaiting for you.
Never let your worries ever get in your way.
Just think about drinking beer on a Sunday."

I got my heart broken, I had just turned nineteen
Never thought a girl could turn out to be so mean
It ended all so tragic but I heard my grandpa say,
"Just think about drinking beer on a Sunday."

Singing, "La la la, na na na na na"
Wash your troubles away
Singing, "La la la, na na na na na"
Just think about drinking beer on a Sunday

Our van broke down outside a treefort back in '99
I was sick, Chris was drunk and Eric lost his mind (Damn right)
Told the guys, "Shit ain't that bad, there will be better days.
Just think about drinking beer on a Sunday."

Singing, "La la la, na na na na na"
Wash your troubles away
Singing, "La la la, na na na na na"
Just think about drinking beer on a Sunday

I stood over grandpa in his hospital bed
He pulled me close and told me "Kid, I've never been so scared."
I whispered softly, "Close your eyes and it will be okay.
Just think about drinking beer on a Sunday.
Just think about drinking beer on a Sunday."

Singing, "La la la, na na na na na"
Wash your troubles away
Singing, "La la la, na na na na na"
Just think about drinking beer on a Sunday
Just think about drinking beer on a Sunday
Just think about drinking beer on a Sunday

"Dumb"

"Dumb"


I know that its been several weeks
Since I layed down and tried to sleep
But can't I see I'm doing something dumb

I can't get her off my mind
You know I've tried a thousand times
I tell myself I'm doing something dumb

Can't help but think about it
'Cause I can't live without it
Maybe I'll lose my mind again

I can't sleep and I can't eat
The beer just doesn't taste as sweet
And no one knows I'm doing something dumb

Can't help but think about it
'Cause I can't live without it
Maybe I'll lose my mind again

Pickin' up the telephone
I swear to god if she's not home
I'll kill myself I'm doing something dumb

I'm doing something dumb
I'm doing something dumb
I'm doing something dumb

"Emily"

"Emily"


[Verse 1]
It wasn't supposed to be like this
Another dose of unhappiness
I gave it all and managed to get shot down yet again
So I got drunk
Had sex with all your friends
You told me that i should never call your house again

[Chorus]
Emily, you saved the day
Emily, when you threw me away

She was always such a pretty girl
Nobody like her in the world
A little piece of heavenly
That no one else could stand
I see you in my dreams at night
I see you when I close my eyes
I just can't seem to shake Emily

[Verse 2]
You got your money and I got cast
Outside thrown out on my ass
In the city with no one else, no where else to go
So I hooked up with this model from Singapore
Emily, I sure am glad you didn't want me anymore

[Chorus]

She was always such a pretty girl
Nobody like her in the world
A little piece of heavenly
That no one else could stand
I see you in my dreams at night
I see you when I close my eyes
I just can't seem to shake Emily
Yeah

Emily, you saved the day
Emily, you saved the day
Emily, you saved my ass

"Envy"

"Envy"


I found your Poison T-shirt
look what the cat dragged in
Seems like it was yesterday
I remember when
We said the word forever
But that’s all over now

We used to be the envy
We used to be the talk of
We used to be the best thing about this fucking town
We used to be the ones who everyone thought would make it
We used to be the best thing about this fucking town
Whenever I’m sober I say to myself
It sucks that it’s over but at least we gave it hell

Our friends always gave us shit
For being so in love
King and queen of the PDA
We kissed until the sun came up
And you were gone
We never said goodbye

We used to be the envy
We used to be the talk of
We used to be the best thing about this fucking town
We used to be the ones who everyone thought would make it
We used to be the best thing about this fucking town
Whenever I’m sober I say to myself
It sucks that it’s over but at least we gave it hell

Time keeps moving on
Our chances are all gone
To follow through with all we said we’d do
So I sing the eulogy
To the ghost of you and me
And drink another beer

The sun went down and you were gone
We never said goodbye

We used to be the envy
We used to be the talk of
We used to be the best thing about this fucking town
We used to be the ones who everyone thought would make it
We used to be the best thing about this fucking town

When I’m not sober I say to myself
Maybe I should call her, and wish her the best
But I remember it’s over
And this feels like fucking hell

"Epiphany"

"Epiphany"


Stop before you get me started
Maybe I'll just go
I'm not exactly broken hearted
But I think you already know
That there's more to the story than I'm givin' up
Maybe I should just grow up

There's a picture of a girl somewhere
That fits this empty frame
And there's a song here somewhere with a happier refrain
It came to me, I think they call it an epiphany
And that's a big word

[Chorus:]
All I ever wanted was a little extra ordinary
Somewhat documented
And depicted in this book of memories
That's as empty as a broken glass,
Or a gas tank in my car
If you can hear me now,
Come out, come out, wherever you are

I try so hard not to remember
I wish I could forget
The thoughts of you in syndication
Just like the time I met Joan Jett
At a Grammy party on a Saturday night
After you and me had a big fight

There's a picture of a boy somewhere that fits your empty frame
I tried switching the station,
But the song remains the same
It came to me, think they call it an epiphany
That line was lame

[Chorus:]
All I ever wanted was a little extra ordinary
Somewhat documented
And depicted in this book of memories
That's as empty as a broken glass
Or a gas tank in my car
If you can hear me now,
Come out, come out, wherever you are

[Bridge]
Are you still at home?
Or did you go to Rome?
I swear I think I saw you on some Italian movie
Showing on the plane
I couldn't read your name
Subtitles don't work on the credits,
Man that's a shame
It's a shame now, me and you
No one to blame but, you

[Chorus:]
All I ever wanted was a little extra ordinary
Somewhat documented
And depicted in this book of memories
All I ever wanted was a little extra ordinary
Somewhat documented
And depicted in this book of memories
If you can hear me now
If you can hear him now,
If you can hear me now,
Come out, come out, wherever you are
Wherever you are
I think they call it an Epiphany

"Everyday's A Saturday"

"Everyday's A Saturday"


You know Monday was manic
Tuesday was worse
I've gotta say Wednesday for the sake of this verse
And Thursday
Was actually pretty OK
For once
Don't even talk about Friday night
You know i didn't get laid
And i didn't fight with my girlfriend
'Cause I don't have one
Anymore

And now you won't have me to push around
Won't have me to kick around
I won't be here for the run around
No, oh, no-o-o-o

I'm sleeping in
I'm taking the day off
I'm tired of running round
Like a chicken with it's head on the chopping block
I just wanna fly away
To where everyday's a Saturday
For me
From now on

Monday I slept till 4pm
On Tuesday I took up the violin
And Wednesday
Yes Christina Ricci's hot
Thurday I quit the violin
And Friday here we go again
It's the weekend
Come on everyone join in

And now you won't have us to push around
Won't have us to kick around
We won't be here for the run around
No, oh, no-o-o-o

I'm sleeping in
I'm taking the day off
I'm tired of running round
Like a rat in a marathon
If I'm gonna run
I just wanna run away
To where everyday's a Saturday
For me
From now on

From now on
I'm not gonna wear your uniform
Gonna live off of movie popcorn
(can't work the line out sorry)
Brad Pitt was in true romance
And look how far he's gone

And now you won't have us to push around
Won't have us to kick around
We won't be here for the run around
No, oh, no-o-o-o

I'm sleeping in
I'm taking the day off
I'm tired of running round
Like a chicken with it's head on the chopping block
I just wanna fly away

I'm sleeping in
I'm taking the day off
I'm tired of running round
Like a rat in a marathon
If I'm gonna run
I just wanna run away
To were everyday's a Saturday

For me
From now on

For me
From now on

"Everything"

"Everything"


She was everything
And I didn't even notice when she changed her hair
When she talked about her day, you know I didn't care
She was everything

I tell you what she said
(Tell you what she said)
You can take your broken promises and hit the door
She told me that she couldn't take it anymore
And that's all she said

And
She set a time bomb to go off when she had gone
And when it all came down, I had nowhere to run
And as she slammed the door, I swear I heard her say

"Now you can rock and roll all night
And sleep all day"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

She was everything
(She was everything)
And I didn't think I'd notice if she wasn't there
When she said that we were through, I said I didn't care

I lost everything
(She's everything)

And
She set a time bomb to go off when she had gone
And when it all came down, I had nowhere to run
And as she slammed the door, I swear I heard her say

"Now you can rock and roll all night
And sleep all day"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, you can rock and roll all night
And sleep all day"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

"Everything To Me"

"Everything To Me"


So many things I know I need to tell you
But everything is gonna be alright
The pain you feel right now is hard to get through
But we'll be stronger on the other side
You know it's true just look behind these eyes

And I, I want you to know
It can't wait for tomorrow
You're a star that's what you are
I'll never let you go
I want you to see you're more than everything
My heart and soul, you make me whole
You're everything to me

Don't you know that I could never hurt you
And sometimes we just can't see eye to eye
These days all we seem to do is argue
I wonder when the love got left behind
Forget that, let's start over tonight

And I, I want you to know
It can't wait for tomorrow
you're a star that's what you are
I'll never let you go
I want you to see you're more than everything
My heart and soul, you make me whole
You're everything to me

So take a look around and find
No matter where you are in time
I'll be the one who's watching over you
So when you're reaching for a hand
I'll be the one who understands
I'll be the net for you to fall into

And I, I want you to know
It can't wait for tomorrow
You're a star the way you are
I'll never let you go
I want you to see you're more than everything
My heart and soul, you make me whole
You're everything to me

So many things I know I need to tell you
(You're everything to me)
But everything is gonna be alright
(You're everything to me)
So many things I know I need to tell you
(You're everything to me)
But everything is gonna be alright

"Five O' Clock World"

"Five O' Clock World"


Up every mornin' just to keep a job
I gotta fight my way through the husslin' mob
Sounds of the city poundin' in my brain
While another day goes down the drain

But it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
No one owns a piece of my time
And there's a five o'clock me inside my clothes
Thinkin' that the world looks fine, yeah
Holiday, yeah...

Tradin' my time for the pay I get
Livin' on money that I ain't made yet
Gotta keep goin', gotta make my way
While I live for the end of the day

'Cause it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
No one owns a piece of my time
And there's a long-haired girl who waits, I know
To ease my troubled mind, yeah
Holiday, yeah...

In the shelter of her arms everything's okay
She talks and the world goes slippin' away
And I know the reason I can still go on
When every other reason is gone

In my five o'clock world she waits for me
Nothin' else matters at all
'Cause everytime my baby smiles at me
I know that it's all worthwhile, yeah
Holiday, yeah... [x3]

"Friday"

"Friday"


Tuesday seemed like it was Thursday
Yesterday i came back down
Standing there
Just like the fool i know i'd become
I realize that i'm aware

Once again i see the sunshine, yeah
And i wipe the sleep out of my eyes
Well i wake up to find the world has not stopped turning
And i, and i am gonna be alright

And i lost way too much in you
Now i don't know what to do
oh-oh-oh
I broke down
Just like i have so many times before
Now i see that nothing has changed
oh-oh-oh
And lately things
Have turned around back where they were before
And i got too much on my mind
Mind...

Tuesday seemed like it was Thursday....Whoa
Yesterday i came back down
Standing there
Just like the fool i know i'd become
I realize that i'm aware

And i lost way too much in you
Now i don't know what to do
oh-oh-oh
I broke down
Just like i have so many times before
Now i see that nothing has changed
oh-oh-oh

And lately things
have turned around back where they were before
And i got too much on my mind
Mind....
