"I Melt With You"

"I Melt With You"


Moving forward using all my breath,
Being friends with you was never second best,
And I saw the world crashing all around your face,
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace.

I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
And there's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you

(You should know better) Dream of better lives the kind which never hate
(You should see) Trapped in a state of imaginary grace
(You should know better) I made a pilgrimage to save this human's race
(You should see) Never comprehending a race that's long gone by

(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
And there's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide

I'll stop the world and melt with you
(I'll stop the world) You've seen some changes and it's getting better all the time
And there's nothing you and I won't do
(I'll stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide

I'll stop the world
I'll stop the world
I'll stop the world

I'll stop the world and melt with you
(I'll stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
And there's nothing you and I won't do
(I'll stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

I'll stop the world and melt with you (I'll stop the world and melt with you)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (I'll stop the world and melt with you)

"I Ran (So Far Away)"

"I Ran (So Far Away)"


I walked along the avenue
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
Meet a girl like you

With auburn hair and tawny eyes
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
Hypnotize me through

And I ran, I ran so far away
Couldn't get away

A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you

The cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora Borealis comes in view
Aurora comes in view

And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
Couldn't get away

Reached out a hand to touch your face
You're slowly disappearing from my view
Disappearing from my view

Reached out a hand to try again
I'm floating in a beam of light with you
A beam of light with you

And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
Couldn't get away

"I'll Always Remember You (That Way)"

"I'll Always Remember You (That Way)"


I remember watching the sunset
You reached out and touched my hand
That night is like a picture frame in my mind
Tell me, do you ever think about that?

I remember making out in the backseat
I stuck my hand up your shirt
And I was so nervous
My heart was racing and my stomach hurt

[Chorus]
Sometimes I wonder
If you ever think about me
Sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think about me?
I'll always remember you
I'll always remember you (that way)
I'll always remember you
The years have gone
The times have changed
I don't recall much from those days
I'll always remember you (that way)

I remember how you gave me your jacket
It must have been winter time
They were playing our song
We were singing along
We knew every line

I remember I was freezing my ass off
And you made me give you my coat
And I don't remember a song
Or even if I had a radio

[Chorus]

Do you remember the moonlight in my hair?
I remember pulling your hair
I told my friends that it was love
I told mine you couldn't get enough

I'll always remember you
Always remember you
The moon and the stars
The back of my car
That time that was ours
The back of my car
The memories are different
But we're not the same, man
I'll always remember you that way

I'll always remember you
I'll always remember you (that way)
I'll always remember you
The years have gone
The times have changed
I don't recall much from those days
I wish sometimes I was back in those days
I'll always remember you (that way)
Always remember
I'll always remember you (that way)
Always remember
I'll always remember you (that way)

"I'm Gay"

"I'm Gay"


(This fucking song is all personality)
(Dude, that's the shit!)

Well we've all heard about
how the guys in the band
Weren't the popular kids in school
And now you hate your parents
'cause of the way you turned out
But in the end the blame's on you

And we all sympathize with your torn-apart heart
And your really artistic worldly views
It sells records when you're sad these days
It's super cool to be mad these days

I think rock and roll is really funny
when it's serious

Don't hate us 'cause we're happy
Don't hate us 'cause we're beautiful
Don't hate us if we make you smile
Or if we go the extra mile
To make someone feel better
on a really shitty day
And if you're hearing what I'm saying then
I want to hear you say, "I'm gay!" (I'm gay!)
Say, "I'm gay!" (I'm gay!)

Let's start a movement, let's start it right now
And if you don't know where to start
I can show you I'm your new team captain
Put your left hand over your heart
and repeat after me

It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual
It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual
Chris, Gary? You guys wanna join in?
(Yeah, buddy. Sure. Sorry Dude)
It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual
It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual
Very Nice. Very Nice.

Don't hate us 'cause we're happy
Don't hate us 'cause you're miserable
Don't hate us if we make you smile
Or if we go the extra mile
To make someone feel better on a really shitty day
And if you're hearing what I'm saying then
I want to hear you say, "I'm gay!" (I'm gay!)
Say, "I'm gay!" (I'm gay!)

That's right, ladies and gentleman!
Pick up the phone
'cause Bowling For Soup is on the line!
And you don't have to be sad anymore!
You don't have to be mad anymore!
We can all join hands and do ring around
the freaking rosie!
In fact, can we can get some "La la"s up in here?

It sells records when you're sad these days
It's super cool to be mad these days
I think rock and roll is really funny
When it's serious

Yo, where my "La la"s at!

La la-la la, la-la la-la
La la la la
La la-la la, la-la la-la
La la la la
La la-la la, la-la la-la
La la la la
La la-la la, la-la la-la
La la la la
La la-la la, la-la la-la

"I've Never Done Anything Like This"
(feat. Kay Hanley)

"I've Never Done Anything Like This"
(feat. Kay Hanley)



I met her at the Sonic
She was listening Detonic
With her I-Pod and her rollerskates

She said her name was Summer
When I asked her for her number
She said "Never mind i get off at eight".

She had eyes like Heaven, face like an angel
But she had the body from Hell

Cause in a half an hour
We were naked in the shower
Taking dirty pictures on my cell

Then she whispered in my ear...

I've never done
I've never done
I've never done anything like this [2x]

Yeah, right!

She drove me in her Saturn
to the Sweetwater Tavern
Just a block of the Denton Square

She did a shot of Jäger
and she made out with the waiter
While i was just sitting there

Before too long her
clothes came off
Like something out of girl's gone wild

Had to come up with the bail,
just to get her out of jail
And she threw up at the passenger's side

Then she whispered in my ear...

I've never done
I've never done
I've never done anything like this [2x]

Yeah, right!

She says that trouble never finds her
No fucked up history behind her
She says she's never stolen anything
except the car we're driving

Oh shit!

Then she whispered in my ear...

I've never done
I've never done
I've never done anything like this [4x]

Yeah, right!
Yeah, right!

"If Only"

"If Only"


If only you were here
If only I were I could see your eyes
If only I were with you if only I could kiss you
If only I had just one night to make this right
I would turn this thing around
I'm sad and lonely, drunk and tired of beating myself to a pulp
And I'm not giving... up

Somehow we fell off track
And got off the path that we'd beaten
I bet you thought that I had dried up and blown away
But I'm on a come back with a fury
And I'm gonna write myself a note
I'm on a mission and I thought that you should know

"If You Come Back To Me / Outro"

"If You Come Back To Me / Outro"


You were right all along.
You know I hate that, admitting I was wrong.
So I don't answer the phone when it's you.
It's funny when I see the caller I.D.
Shows the phone line's still in your dad's name.
So hey, I'm doing OK.

And I'll get back to you if you come back to me.
Your voice is so Marilyn Monroe.
It's funny how that makes me wanna smash the phone.
I wonder if J.F.K. ever felt this way.
All alone, like Summer when it snows.
So out of place, so out of those fake smiles.
I used to do so well.
And here's the part of the song
Where I start to break down like my broken heart.
But it's not gonna matter
The lines are all down from a hurricane
They should have named after you.
Maybe I should get a Scorpions ringtone
To remind me of you.

[CHORUS]
So hey, I'm doing OK.
And I'll get back to you if you come back to me.
Oh, here we go.
Just like a broken record skippin' apart
That we both oughta know by heart.
([2nd time:]
And I can still hear you singing along)

We were right there,
And now it seems so tragic.
No happy ending,
Now this whole thing seems so drastic.
You asked me 20 times
Where we could find our magic.
Ask David Copperfield or even Rick O'Casic.
David Blaine,(where's the magic?)
Lance Burton, (where's the magic?)
Harry Potter,(where's the magic?)
I used to think pop rocks were magic.
Sigfried and Roy, (where's the magic?)
Shaquille O'Neal,
(why'd you leave the magic?)
You asked me 20 times,
Or was it 28,
And your greatest trick ever
Was your great escape.

[CHORUS]

"Jimmy Neutron Theme"

"Jimmy Neutron Theme"


From here to the stars,
With my candy bars,
Rides a kid
With a knack
For inventions.

A super-powered mind,
A mechanical canine,
He rescues the day
From sure destruction.

He's gotta save the world
And get to school on time,
So many things to do
And not much time

So off the ground,
Up in the air,
Out into the atmosphere,

Who can we count on?
Jimmy Neutron!
Who can we count on?
Jimmy Neutron!
Who can we count on?
Jimmy Neutron!

No matter where you are,
You know he can't be far,
Watching the world
Through x-ray vision

And whenever he's around,
Where adventure can be found,
You know that Jimmy Neutron's
On a mission

He's gotta save the world
And get to school on time,
So many things to do
And not much time

So off the ground,
Up in the air,
Out into the atmosphere,

Who can we count on?
Jimmy Neutron!
Who can we count on?
Jimmy Neutron!
Who can we count on?
Jimmy Neutron!
Who can we count on?
Jimmy Neutron!
Who can we count on?
Jimmy Neutron!
Who can we count on?
It's Jimmy Neutron!

"Kevin Weaver"

"Kevin Weaver"


Dear mom,
Did you get the disk I sent?
The one with all the songs we used to sing in the car
Waylon, Willy and Dolly. The Eagles, Kenny Rogers and Donna Summer
I hope it brings back the memories
Of good times we had together
Driving in the car to New Mexico
Longest ride ever to Pennsylvania
Harmonising all the way with the windows down

And I hope you’re proud
I hope you see some good
In all the fucked up things I did
All the things you never understood
I hope I made you proud
And disappointments of the past
Are things we left back there forever
And we can move on together
While you live the rest of your days
And watch your grandkids play
And say, "I’m proud of you!"

Dear dad,
You managed to turn your life around
Five separate times since you were born.
But that’s not me just yet
Only twice so far but I’m working on a third.
And I’m only half your age
And Punk Rock's working against me
I've got five hundred more tattoos than you
I’ve broken 13 hundred more hearts than you
And as for the bottle, I say, "call that a draw!"

But I hope you’re proud (I hope you’re proud)
I hope you see some good
In all the fucked up things I did
All the things you never understood
I hope I made you proud (I hope you’re proud)
And the disappointments of the past
Are things we left back there forever
And we can move on together
While you live the rest of your days
And watch your grandkids play
And say, "I’m proud of you!"

I almost lost my brother in a car crash late last summer
Don’t know what I would have done without you
Never would have made it half this far without you
And as far as the bottle you taught your little brother well

But I hope you’re proud (I hope you’re proud)
I hope you see some good
In all the fucked up things I did
All the things you never understood
I'm so fucking proud of you (I hope you’re proud)
And the disappointments of the past
Are things we left back there forever
And we can move on together
While you live the rest of our days
And we watch our grandkids play
And say, "I’m proud of you!"

"Kool-Aid"

"Kool-Aid"


Why i was sitting all by myself just thinking
Now i'm lyin awake in bed
I can't forget about what you said
I tell myself, "Hey man, you should know better"
Ya gotta act like nothings wrong
Ya gotta stand up and be strong

Don't blame me for buttin did
These f 'in walls are closin in
And if everything does not seem cool
It's cuz i am not sure what i am supposed to do

But everything's fine
And i don't know why i do this to myself
I got this thing with losing my mind
I wish i could tell you all the things i want to say
So now i think i will in time

I don't suppose i feel like we are thinking
It's not as bad as yesterday
And you can make everything okay
If ya start to feel like we are nowhere ?
And you can think about me too

Don't blame me for buttin in
These f 'in walls are closin in
And if everything does not seem cool
It's cuz i'm not sure what i'm supposed to do

But everythings fine
And i don't know why i do this to myself
I got this thing with losing my mind
I wish i could tell ya all the things i wanna say
So now i think i will in time [x3]

And everything's fine
