'Fast In My Car'
Been through the ringer a couple times,
I came out callous and cruel
And my two friends know this very well
Because they went through it too
The three of us were initiates,
We had to learn how to deal
And when we spotted a second chance
We had to learn how to steal...
Hollowed out and filled up with hate
All we want is you to give up a break
We're driving fast in my car
We've our riot gear on but we just want to have fun
No we're not looking for violence (ohhhhh)
Tonight we want to have fun
No'one's the same as they used to be
Much as we try to pretend
No-one's as innocent as they could be
We all fall short, we all sin
But now we aren't looking backward
We won't try raising the dead
We only see what's in front of us
We only see straight ahead
Hollowed out and filled up with hate
All we want is you to give up a break
We're driving fast in my car
We've our riot gear on but we just want to have fun
No we're not looking for violence (ohhhhh)
Tonight we want to have fun
Get in my car and we'll drive around
Make believe we are free
Already proved we can tough it out
And we get along so sweetly
We're driving fast in my car
We've our riot gear on but we just want to have fun
No we're not looking for violence (ohhhhh)
Tonight we want to have fun
We're driving fast in my car
We've our riot gear on but we just want to have fun
No we're not looking for violence (ohhhhh)
Tonight we want to have fun
'Now'
Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me now
Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me now
Feels like I'm waking from the dead
And everyone's been waiting on me
Least now I'll never have to wonder what it's like
To sleep a year away
Weren't we indestructable?
Thought that we could brave it all
Never thought that what would take me down
Was hiding down below
Lost the battle
Win the war
Bringing my sinking ship back to the shore
Starting over,
Head back in
There's a time and a place to die but this ain't it
If there's a future, we want it now
If there's a future, we want it now
If there's a future, we want it now
If there's a future, we want it now
Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me now
Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me now
Wish I could find a crystal ball
For all the days I feel completely worthless
You know I'd use it all for good
I would not take it for granted
Instead I have some memories
For the days I don't feel anything
At least they will remind me not to make
The same mistakes again
Lost the battle
Win the war
Bringing my sinking ship back to the shore
Starting over,
Head back in
There's a time and a place to die but this ain't it
If there's a future, we want it now
If there's a future, we want it now
If there's a future, we want it now
If there's a future, we want it now
There's a time and a place to die
There's a time and a place to die and this ain't it
There's a time and a place to die but this ain't it, this ain't it
This ain't it
There's a time and a place to die
There's a time and a place to die
Well this ain't it, no
If there's a future, we want it now
If there's a future, we want it now
If there's a future, we want it now
If there's a future, we want it now
'Grow Up'
I told 'em all where to stick it
Left town with a dime to my name
Said I'm done with all of my fake friends
Self-righteous pawns in a losing game
Got my band a light that won't go out
Been burning since the day I was born
So I'll cry just a little then I'll dry my eyes
'Cause I'm not a little girl no more
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind
Stood in line for so long just to picket
Something I won't ever understand
Aren't you tired of always being mad at the world,
Won't you just admit you don't care?
And lady, I don't want your pity
So don't feel sad for me
I got a love I would die for and a song to sing
Maybe we're both just living out our dream?
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind
We get along for the most part
Me and reality
The light and the dark
We live alone
In two different worlds
Me in a fantasy
You in your memories
But we get along
We get along for the most part
We get along,
Yeah, for the most
We get along
For the most part
We get along
We get along
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
(We grow up, never grow old)
And so if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
(We grow up, never grow old)
And so if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind
'Daydreaming'
Living in a city of sleepless people
Who all know the limits
And won't go too far outside the lines
'Cause they're' out of their minds.
I wanna get out and build my own home
On a street where reality is not much different
From dreams I've had
A dream is all I have...
Daydreaming
Daydreaming all the time
Daydreaming
Daydreaming into the night
And I'm all right
Creep past the hours like the shorter hand on the clock
Hanging on a wall of a schoolhouse somewhere
We wait for the bell
And we dream of somewhere else
Daydreaming
Daydreaming all the time
Daydreaming
Daydreaming into the night
And I'm all right
It's not that I won't remember where I'm from
Just don't wanna be here no more
It's not enough (We're only half alive)
I'm gonna go (We're only half alive)
Where the rest of the dreamers go
Where the dreamers go
Daydreaming
Daydreaming all the time
Daydreaming
Daydreaming into the night
And I'm all right
Daydreaming
Daydreaming all the time
Daydreaming
We used to be half alive
Now I'm all right
'Moving On'
Let 'em have their time
Sit back and let 'em shine
Let 'em rise and rise
'Cause one day the'yre gonna fall
Let 'em soak in the sun
Sit back and let 'em have their fun
Let 'em spill their guts
'Cause one day they're gonna slip on 'em
Well I could be angry but you're not worth the fight
And besides I'm moving on
I counted to ten and now I'm feeling all right
And besides I'm moving on
Let 'em play their songs
Let 'em say what's right and wrong
Let 'em do their thing
'Cause that will never be you and me
We've got our own style
We've got a way of living life
If they can't get down well,
We don't need them around
Well I could be angry but you're not worth the fight
And besides I'm moving on
I counted to ten and now I'm feeling all right
And besides I'm moving on
'Ain't It Fun'
I don't mind
Letting you down easy
But just give it time
If it don't hurt now just wait, just wait a while
You're not the big fish in the pond no more
You are what they're feeding on
So what are you gonna do when the world don't orbit around you?
So what are you gonna do when the world don't orbit around you?
Ain't it fun,
Living in the real world?
Ain't it good,
Being all alone?
Where you're from
You might be the one who's running things
You could ring anybody's bell and get what you want
See, it's easy to ignore trouble
When you're living in a bubble
So what are you gonna do when the world don't orbit around you?
So what are you gonna do when nobody wants to fool with you?
Ain't it fun,
Living in the real world?
Ain't it good,
Being all alone?
Ain't it good to be on your own?
Ain't it fun you can't count on no-one?
Ain't it good to be on your own?
Ain't it fun you can't count on no-one?
Ain't it fun,
Living in the real world?
Don't go crying to your mama,
'Cause you're on your own,
In the real world
Don't go crying to your mama,
'Cause you're on your own,
In the real world
Don't go crying to your mama,
'Cause you're on your own,
In the real world
Don't go crying to your mama,
'Cause you're on your own,
In the real world
Don't go crying to your mama,
'Cause you're on your own,
In the real world
Ain't it fun,
Ain't it fun,
Baby, now you're one of us
Ain't it fun,
Ain't it fun,
Ain't it fun,
Ain't it fun,
Living in the real world?
Ain't it good,
Being all alone?
Ain't it fun,
Living in the real world?
Ain't it good,
Being all alone?
Ain't it fun,
Living in the real world?
('Cause the world don't orbit around you)
Ain't it good,
Being all alone?
Don't go crying to your mama,
'Cause you're on your own,
In the real world
(Don't go crying)
Don't go crying to your mama (to your mama)
'Cause you're on your own,
In the real world
Don't go crying to your mama,
'Cause you're on your own,
In the real world (this is the real world)
Don't go crying to your mama,
'Cause you're on your own,
In the real world
(This is the real world)
Don't go crying (this is the real world) to your mama, (go crying)
'Cause you're on your own,
In the real world
Don't go crying to your mama,
'Cause you're on your own,
In the real world
Don't go crying (don't you go, don't you go crying)
Don't go crying (you're on your own)
Don't go crying
'Part II'
What a shame, what a shame we all remain
Such fragile broken things
A beauty half betrayed
Butterflies with punctured wings
Still there are darkened places
Deep in my heart
Where once was blazing light,
Now there's a tiny spark
Oh glory
Come and find me
Oh glory
Come and find me
Dancing all alone
To the sound of an enemy's song
I'll be lost until you find me...
Fighting on my own
In a war that's already been won
I'll be lost until you come and find me here, oh glory
What a mess, what a mystery we've made
Of love and other simple things
Learning to forgive
Even when it wasn't a mistake
I question every human
Who won't look in my eyes,
Who won't look in my eyes,
Scars left on my heart
Formed patterns in my mind
Formed patterns in my mind
Oh glory
You will find me
Dancing all alone
To the sound of an enemy's song
I'll be lost until you find me...
Fighting on my own
In a war that's already been won
I'll be lost until you come and find me here, oh glory
Like the moon we borrow our light
I am nothing but a shadow in the night
But if you let me, I will catch fire
So let your glory and mercy shine
I am nothing but a shadow in the night
But if you let me, I will catch fire
So let your glory and mercy shine
'Last Hope'
I don't even know myself at all
I thought I would be happy, by now
But the more I try to push it I realise,
Gotta to let go of control
Gotta let it happen
Gotta let it happen
Gotta let it happen
So let it happen
It's just a spark
But it's enough to keep me going
And when it's dark out, no-one's around, it keeps glowing
Every night I try my best to dream
Tomorrow makes it better
I wake up to the cold reality
That not a thing has changed
But it will happen
Gotta let it happen
Gotta let it happen
Gotta let it happen
It's just a spark
But it's enough to keep me going
And when it's dark out, no-one's around, it keeps glowing
It's just a spark
But it's enough to keep me going
And when it's dark out, no-one's around, it keeps glowing
And the salt in my wounds
Isn't burning any more than it used to,
It's not that I don't feel the pain,
It's just I'm not afraid of hurting any more
And the blood in these veins
Isn't pumping any less than it ever has
And that's the hope I have
The only thing that I know is keeping me alive
Gotta let it happen
Gotta let it happen
Gotta let it happen
Gotta let it happen
Gotta let it happen
Gotta let it happen
Gotta let it happen
Gotta let it happen
It's just a spark
But it's enough to keep me going
(So if I let go of control now, I can be strong)
And when it's dark out, no-one's around, it keeps glowing
It's just a spark
But it's enough to keep me going
(So if I keep my eyes closed, with a blind hope)
And when it's dark out, no-one's around, it keeps glowing
'Still Into You'
Can't count the year on one hand that we've been together
I need the other one to hold you,
Make you feel,
Make you feel,
Better
It's not a walk in the park,
To love each other
But when our fingers interlock
Can't deny,
Can't deny,
You're worth it
'Cause after all this time
I'm still into you
I should be over all the butterflies
But I'm into you
And baby even on our worst nights,
I'm into you
Let 'em wonder how we got this far,
'Cause I don't really need to wonder at all
Yeah, after all this time,
I'm still into you
Recount the night that I first met your mother
And on the drive back to my house,
I told you that,
I told you that,
I loved you
You felt the weight of the world
Fall off your shoulder,
And to your favourite song,
We sang along to the start of forever
And after all this time,
I'm still into you
I should be over all the butterflies
But I'm into you
And baby even on our worst nights,
I'm into you
Let 'em wonder how we got this far,
'Cause I don't really need to wonder at all
Yeah, after all this time,
I'm still into you
Some things,
Some things just make sense
And one of those is you and I
Some things,
Some things just make sense
And even after all this time...
I'm into you
Baby not a day goes by
That I'm not into you
I should be over all the butterflies
But I'm into you
And baby even on our worst nights,
I'm into you
Let 'em wonder how we got this far,
'Cause I don't really need to wonder at all
Yeah, after all this time,
I'm still into you
I'm still into you
I'm still into you
'Anklebiters'
Why do you care what people think?
Are you hooked up to their leash?
You know anklebiters
Ate up your personality
Try to remember how it felt
To just make up your own steps
And let anklebiters
Chew up, spit out someone else
Fall in love with yourself
Because someday
You're gonna be the only one you've got
Someday, you're gonna be the only one you've got
Why you wanna please the world and leave yourself to drop dead?
Someday you're gonna be the only one you've got
What do you actually expect
A broken mirror to reflect
You know anklebiters
Gave you a false perception?
And why do I defend your ignorance?
Why do I defend the state you're in?
You should fall in love with yourself, oh again
Fall in love with yourself
Because someday
You're gonna be the only one you've got
Someday, you're gonna be the only one you've got
Why you wanna please the world and leave yourself to drop dead?
Someday you're gonna be the only one you've got
Anklebiters!
Anklebiters!
Someday, you're gonna be alone
'Holiday'
Now I can move on to facing
Big girl problems
No more high school drama
Graduated with honours
And I'm drinking coffee,
While I read the paper
I've been saving money,
Eating only top ramen
Now I get a holiday
Wherever I go I might stay
I don't plan on coming back
Ever, if I can help it
Now I get a holiday
I think I'll stay,
Holiday,
I think I'll stay,
Now I get a holiday
'Proof'
It's really hard,
I can't cry in your arms,
'Cause you're not here
It's not your fault,
And if it was I wouldn't care
My heart is bigger than the distance in between us,
I know it 'cause I feel it beating
So strong it'll knock you down
So strong, so strong
Over here, I can count the miles away,
From where I wanna be
I bet your skin is warm,
And that your smiling
Yeah, that's what I always loved
The most about you
So strong come and knock me down
Hey!
Baby if I'm half the man I say I am
If I'm a woman with no fear just like I claim I am
Then I'll believe in what you say,
There's nothing left for you to do
The only proof that I need is you
I'll get in my car,
Driving faster than I ever did before,
Head out west until I finally reach the shore
And then I'll swim out to wherever you are,
And we'll ride the under current down to the floor,
Making friends with all the unfamiliar creatures,
Pushing back on the unnecessary pressure
Come up for air just so you know we won't drown
We're so strong, the world can't keep us out
Hey!
Baby if I'm half the man I say I am
If I'm a woman with no fear just like I claim I am
Then I'll believe in what you say,
There's nothing left for you to do
The only proof that I need is you
So do you love me
All you gotta do is say yes
Now do you love me
And I won't ever second guess
Now do you love me
All you gotta do is say yes
Now do you love me
Then you already proved it
Baby if I'm half the man I say I am
If I'm a woman with no fear just like I claim I am
Then I'll believe in what you say,
There's nothing left for you to do
The only proof that I need is
Baby if I'm half the man I say I am
If I'm a woman with no fear just like I claim I am
Then I'll believe in what you say,
There's nothing left for you to do
The only proof that I need is you
'Hate To See Your Heart Break'
There, is not a single word,
In the whole world
That could describe the hurt,
The dullest knife just sawing back and forth,
And ripping though the softest skin there ever was
How were you to know
Oh how were you to know
And I,
I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before
And I, I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before
Love happens all the time
To people who aren't kind,
And heroes who are blind...
Expecting perfect scripted movies scenes
Who wants an awkward silent mystery?
How were you to know?
Oh how were you to know?
And I,
I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before
And I,
I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before
For all the air that's in your lungs
For all the joy that is to come
For all the things that you're alive to feel,
Just let the pain remind you hearts can heal
Oh how are you to know (How are you to know)
Oh how are you to know?
And I,
I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before
And I,
I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before
'(One of Those) Crazy Girls'
Now when you say you wanna slow down,
Does it mean you wanna slow dance
Maybe you just wanna a little extra time to focus
On our romance,
What do you mean I "got it backwards"?
You know we're gonna be forever!
Why are you telling me goodbye,
Aren't you gonna stay the night?
Are we really over now?
Maybe I can change your mind
Soon as you walk out my door,
I'm gonna call a hundred times...
Now I walk under a pink sky,
Lovers float along and pass me by
I pour my heart out to your voice mail,
Let you know I caught a bus
To your side of town
And now I'm standing at your doorstep,
With Los Angeles behind me
If you don't answer
I'll just use the key that I copied
'Cause I really need to see you
If you're not here when I break in,
I'm gonna go through your closet,
Just so I can smell your skin
As the chemicals swim,
I know I'll never love again,
I swear I'll never love again
Baby, are we over now,
Maybe I can change your mind,
As soon as you walk out my door,
I'm gonna call a hundred times
I'm not one of those,
Crazy girls
I'm not one of those,
Crazy girls
I'm not one of those,
Crazy girls
I'm not one of those,
Crazy girls
Hey baby, are we over now?
Maybe I can change your mind
As soon as you walk out my door,
I'm gonna call a hundred times
Hey baby, are we over now?
Maybe I can change your mind
As soon as you walk out my door,
I'm gonna call a hundred times
Now I'm one of those crazy girls,
Now I'm one of those crazy girls,
Now I'm one of those crazy girls,
Now I'm one of those crazy girls
'I'm Not Angry Anymore'
I'm not angry anymore,
Well, sometimes I am,
I don't think badly of you,
Well, sometimes I do
It depends on the day,
The extent of all my worthless rage,
I'm not angry anymore
I'm not bitter anymore,
I'm syrupy sweet,
I'll rot your teeth down to their core,
If I'm really happy
It depends on the day,
If I wake up in a giddy haze
Well I'm not angry,
I'm not totally angry,
I'm not all that angry anymore
'Be Alone'
So what if I don't have a lot, to talk about?
I'll shut my mouth and keep it locked until it counts
And what if I don't ever want to leave my house?
Stay on the couch
While all my friends are going out
You should be alone,
Yeah, you should be alone,
You should be alone with me
We could be alone,
Yeah, we could be alone,
And never get too lonely
I'll make the journey down the hall,
Back to my room
Kill my time and let it rot inside it's tomb
See, I ain't one to climb some social ladder to,
Some Shangri-La that all the cool kids will abuse
You should be alone,
Yeah, you should be alone,
You should be alone with me
We could be alone,
Yeah, we could be alone,
And never get too lonely
(We could be alone, together)
I'm alone,
Yeah,
I'm in love with you alone
Come be alone,
Yeah, be in love with me alone,
You should be alone,
Yeah, you should be alone,
You should be alone with me
We could be alone,
Yeah, we could be alone,
And never get too lonely
'Future'
I'm writing the future,
I'm writing it out loud,
We don't talk about the past,
We don't talk about the past now
So I'm writing the future,
I'm leaving a key, here,
Something won't always be missing
You won't always feel empty, here
Just think of the future,
Think of your dreams
You'll get away from here,
You'll get away eventually
So just think of the future,
Think of a new life
And don't get lost in the memories,
Keep your eyes on the new prize
