The Glance (Intro)
02:26
|
|||
|
No one heard a single thing
Nothing ever changed again
In a moment of time, everything holds in place
But more importantly, the look on your face
Could it last forever?
Is it all for me?
Could it last forever?
Is it all for me?
Could it last forever?
Am I dreaming?
All I have to ever see
Is the glance you gave to me

Mansfield Park
03:21
|
|||
|
Took a drive by Mansfield Park today
Felt the peoples stares, felt the sun on my face (oh, oh, oh)
Wondering what happened with that girl yesterday
Good times were had, probably (oh, oh, oh)
CHORUS (Repeat x2):
Three, two, one, down for the count
Like an allnighter, there's no doubt
Remember that girl from last night, remember
Oh oh, oh oh oh (Oh oh, oh oh oh)
Searched along the countryside of England today
Memory came back to the car, back to the city (Oh, oh, oh)
Found a note left on my kitchen table today
Said "Thanks for last night, now off to LA" (Oh no)
CHORUS

Sticks & Stones
04:33
|
|||
|
I've been sitting in my room
For about a hour or two
And I've just realized it's not true
What they say about you
And all I wanna say is...
You are my dreams, baby
I just wish that you'd come in my life
I just wish that you'd be mine
I've memorized every line of the poem
That I would recite when we're all alone
And maybe it's a fantasy, but in my mind, it seems pretty real to me
So it seems, so it seems
CHORUS:
And all I wanna say is...
You are my dreams, baby
I just wish that you'd come in my life
And everything in this world couldn't come close to you
I swear it's true
I just wish that you'd be mine
Someday soon you'll see that I'm just the right one for you
I'll show you the depths of my heart if you show me yours too
And I know that when we get close, we'll be hand in glove
And baby, when you're that close, what else could it be but love?
CHORUS, THEN TAG
TAG:
I can feel it in my bones
Everything else is sticks and stones

Be What You Wanna Be
03:03
|
|||
|
Try to surprise me, but I've already heard
Actions take too long, baby I'll use my words
You always say that you got what it takes
I got good eyes, baby don't try to fake (hooo)
CHORUS:
Oooooo, oooooo
Don't listen to me
Just go and be what you wanna be
17 years, life's just begun
People try to say that "I'm not the one"
But don't listen to them, just do what you do
Don't even bother man, I'm through with you (yeah)
CHORUS

Troublemaker
02:54
|
|||
|
Put me in a special school cuz I am such a fool
And I don't need a single book to teach me how to read
Who needs stupid books? They are for petty crooks
And I will learn by studying the lessons in my dreams
So turn off the TV cuz that's what others see
And movies are as bad as eating chocolate ice-cream
They only sicken me, don't let me play football
I'll sack the quarterback and jack the brother of the ball
CHORUS:
I'm a troublemaker, never been a faker
Doin' things my own way and never giving up
I'm a troublemaker, not a double-taker
I don't have the patience to keep it on the up
I picked up a guitar, what does this signify?
I'm gonna play some heavy metal riffs and you will die
You wanted arts and crafts, how's this for arts and crafts?
(That's right!) I'm growing out my hair, I'm moving out to Cherokee
I'm gonna be a rock star and you are gonna bear with me
Cuz I can't work a job like any other slob
Punchin' in and punchin' out and suckin' up to Bob
Learning all my lessons, I'm never second-guessing
Giving up and growing old and knowing there's a God
CHORUS
I'm gonna be a star and people will go nuts
To get a glimpse of me and say that I don't have the guts
And when I prove them wrong, they'll try to understand
Why I am so unlike yourself or any other man
I'm such a mystery as anyone can see
There isn't anybody that's exactly quite like me
And when it's party time, like 1999
I'll party by myself because I'm such a special guy
CHORUS
|

6. |

|
NONE

Every Time
03:29
|
|||
|
I feel like a homemade gun
Getting fired off only one time
I got a lot of power
But I fall apart every time
I feel like I'm being hit by open fire
I'm in onslaught all the time
I should've seen it coming
I was in the way every time
I feel like I'm in love again
You're all I need, no sublime
You've got the whole world in your hand
And you pick it up every time

One More Night
04:19
|
|||
|
I'll wake up in time
I'll stop being shy
I've said that I'm fine
But you'll never be mine
CHORUS:
Confidence and pride
Is my kryptonite
But if you look me in the eyes
I'll be okay for one more night
You don't need to meet the standards
And find yourself in discards
But I have always felt that way
But the feelings will slowly grind away
CHORUS
Thoughts of you will have their way with me
But holding you is so unlikely
And so, we will spend days staring at what could have been
And having these feelings is not a sin
But I've got so many other things to do
And I don't need to be in love with you

Flashbacks
04:59
|
|||
|
Thinking about how far we've come
I've given so much that my arms've gone numb
It's all about the road ahead
Made by all the things I've said
PRE-CHORUS:
Kick it back now
This is what it's about
It's time to say
CHORUS:
Goodbye to the past, baby
Say hi to the future, maybe
Everything we wanted is just a step away
Memories of everything I saw
Coming back to me like waterfalls
While I'll miss everything I've seen
I'll never remember all the things I've been
PRE-CHORUS, then CHORUS
CHORUS

Ergophobia
03:14
|
|||
|
Sleeping in the front yard of my own house
It's nothing new, but it's wearing thin
My mind is a cage made of reason
Procrastination and unrealization
CHORUS:
I'm tired of my own life
My ergophobia keeps me up at night
Yeah, yeah, oh no
Progress invites me to party
And I say "Sorry, I'm not feeling well"
My mind is my jailkeeper
Something I ain't proud of, but I ain't lying
CHORUS

11. |
Real Talk
03:59
|
|||
|
Can we get real for a moment?
You're my one and only friend
Watch the sunset from your sedan
Let your hand rest on mine
PRE-CHORUS:
I've lived in every town
But here is where I find home
CHORUS:
My mind is open
My body is yours
Show me the sign
Please
I was so sure, I was faulty
And not able to love
But then you crept up on me while I was dreaming
Whispered love into my ear
PRE-CHORUS, then CHORUS
If you’re tied up
I can drive us
We can go back
To my place
CHORUS

This Feeling
03:40
|
|||
|
Deep inside, there's this feeling
It's eating my heart from within
Need to stop this before it kills me
Before it breaks right through my skin
CHORUS:
I'm breaking out in every way
This feeling I can't control, don't feel the need to convey
All the things I'm going through
The only thing I'm gonna say is things have gone askew
I'm calling out to everything in sight
No one helps the crazy man, it seems
The hole in my heart's getting bigger every night
Now this feeling's coming into my dreams
I dream that I'm holding a girl in my arms
I'm making sure to her comes no harm
Then I look up to the sky
Suddenly I realize that this is wrong
I should leave this girl and move along
Then my heart begins to die
CHORUS

A Love Song
04:11
|
|||
|
My life has been so wrong
When could something so bad last so long?
I wanted to end it all
That's when you came along
CHORUS:
I stay here where I am
I stay here for all I can
All I can say is you are keeping me around
I used to toss and turn at night
Now I dream of you instead
Instead of being scared of waking
I'm scared of being dead
CHORUS
I've become stronger through and through
Through times of old and times of new
And now I'm gonna take this chance
But even though it's been so long
Since I've been outside of these halls
But now is the time to go
Now, the time has come
It was coming all along
But this woman who's looking at me
Is the reason I can sing my song
CHORUS

Goodbye
05:20
|
|||
|
Cursed to be a rock and roll guy
I won't let my mind fall in
I know to do, not to try
But you don't know where I've been
CHORUS:
Flying by on the cloud of unknowing
Don't know why, but I'm glad I'm here
Driving by, where am I going?
Don't give a care, just giving my life, baby
Stuck in the ways of a past life
I can't let it be part of me
Like a man with no vision
I gotta trust who I'm following
CHORUS
Goodbye to the life I'm leaving
Tonight I leave you all behind
So, bye to all I believed in
It's time for me to move on
'Til the end of time, I sing this song
Goodbye...
