lullabies

this is how we do
Show us off to all your friends;
We're the trophy boys from here to if and when.
We break and break your dreams of keeping us a secret.
We're the back-pocket believers; we're the locals who went postal,
Call it treason while you can.

I'm just a face for every picture, a smile for your scrap-books,
And a story to be told. And told, but I'm loving every second
So commemorate this hour, as the last I spend regretting what I have.

Boys, raise your glasses. Girls, shake those...
(Get up, get up, get up!)
We're the party, you're the people;
Let's make this night a classic.
We play, you move.
(Come on let me hear you!)
We're the party, you're the people,
And this is how we, this is how we do.

The curtain's rising, I'm forgetting where I've been.
I watch the lights go up on a star without his screen.
Set it off, and sing it back.
Direction's keeping me on track.
But I'll admit, I do it all for the attention.

let it roll
The time on the clock reads half past four;
I'm wide awake and thinking with my pillow on the floor,
That maybe I'm just wasting my time dreaming in a harsh reality.
I don't wanna wake up just to find out I've been deceived...

Let it roll;
Our time is fleeting so we take control.
From California, to my home sweet home.
Our days repeating like it's all we know--
It's all we know.

Out here the hills roll on for miles;
The sun is like my own sense of direction.
I'm always drawn to each horizon when it's rising, when it sets.
But all I can think about is sex;
And playing one more game of six-cup in the backyard at "The Wedge"
I know I'll never die alone because of all of you...

Let it roll;
Our time is fleeting so we take control.
From California, to my home sweet home.
Our days repeating like it's all we know--
It's all we know.

Take, take a breath, we've got all the time in the world
To get a grip on the fact that we don't last
But right now, I want to watch the tide roll in
With my best friends

Let it roll.
Our time is fleeting so we take control.
From California...

Let it roll;
Our time is fleeting so we take control.
From California, to my home sweet home.
Our days repeating like it's all we know--
It's all we know.
It's all we know!

six feet under the stars
Time to lay claim to the evidence; fingerprints sold me out.
But our footprints washed away from the docks downtown,
It's been getting late for days
And I think myself deserving of a little time off.
We can kick it here for hours, and just mouth off about the world,
And how we know it's going straight to hell.

Pass me another bottle, honey, the Jager's so sweet,
But if it keeps you around then, I'm down.

Meet me on Thames Street.
I'll take you out, though I'm hardly worth your time.
In the cold you look so fierce, but I'm warm enough;
Because the tension's like a fire.
We'll hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes,
And like a bad movie, I'll drop a line.
Fall in the grave I've been digging myself,
But there's room for two.
Six feet under the stars.

I should have known better than to call you out;
(On a night like this, a night like this)
If not for you, I know I'd tear this place to the ground.
(But I'm alright like this, alright like this)
I'm gonna roll the dice before you sober up and get gone.
(I'm always in over my head)

Meet me on Thames Street.
I'll take you out, though I'm hardly worth your time.
In the cold you look so fierce, but I'm warm enough;
Because the tension's like a fire.
We'll hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes,
And like a bad movie, I'll drop a line.
Fall in the grave I've been digging myself,
But there's room for two.
Six feet under the stars.

Time to lay claim to the evidence; fingerprints sold me out.
But our footprints washed away;
I'm guilty, but I'm safe for one more day.
Overdressed and underage; (what a let down)
"Do you really need to see an ID?"
This is embarrassing as hell; (what a let down)
But I can cover for it so well,
When we're six feet under the stars.

Thames Street.
I'll take you out, though I'm hardly worth your time.
In the cold you look so fierce, but I'm warm enough;
Because the tension's like a fire.
We'll hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes,
And like a bad movie, I'll drop a line.
Fall in the grave I've been digging myself,

Six feet under the stars.

the beach
Well, you're a long walk from my street,
And I'm dying in this summer heat.
I hope like hell you're waiting, waiting.

Everybody's living like they're crazy in love;
I'm a dizzy mess and everything is so above me
From the floor I found the life I lead today.

Well they can take, take, take the kids from the summer,
But they'll never, never, never take the summer from me.
It was the very first time that I lost my mind for the week.
They can't make, make, make me forget the weather,
If I never, never, never wash the sand from my feet.
It was the very last time, then we said goodbye to the beach.
(We were showing off, we were showing off our teeth)

So make one last call back home because tonight we go it alone
And I hope that you know I'm waiting, waiting...
(Tell me do you feel me?)

Everybody's singing like we're crazy in love;
We made a dizzy mess of everything and it was enough
To bring all the boys and all the girls together.

Well they can take, take, take the kids from the summer,
But they'll never, never, never take the summer from me.
It was the very first time that I lost my mind for the week.
They can't make, make, make me forget the weather,
If I never, never, never wash the sand from my feet.
It was the very last time, then we said goodbye to the beach.
(We were showing off, we were showing off our teeth)

You're going out in style, and I'm getting tired of all your lying.
(Tell me do you feel me, listen can you hear it?)
Stop pretending, stop.
(Cave in and believe me, open up and scream it)
The answer's in the smile, and I'm coming clean.
Just give me something.
(Tell me do you feel me, listen can you hear it?)
Stop pretending.
(Cave in and believe me, open up and scream it)

Well they can take, take, take the kids from the summer,
But they'll never, never, never take the summer from me.
It was the very first time that I lost my mind for the week.
They can't make, make, make me forget the weather.
(Make one last call back home)
If I never, never, never wash the sand from my feet.
(Tonight we go it alone)
It was the very last time, then we said goodbye to the beach.
(And I hope that you know I'm waiting)

shameless
Hips sway and lips lie like clock-work she's in control
Of all the right guys and I'm still waiting.

Fitted hats and a car alarm in her high-tops with her favorite song.
She's showing off the way she walks.
It's on...

Take me, show me the corners of your empty room.
The trouble we could get into, just fake it for me.
Disregard the footsteps and we'll never tell a soul.

Tonight I'm finding a way to make the things that you say
Just a little less obvious.

I walk a fine line between the right and the real.
They watch me closely, but talk is cheap here.

Like a weightless currency;
Your words don't mean shit to me.
I'm always cashing out.

Take me, show me the corners of your empty room.
The trouble we could get into, just fake it for me.
Disregard the footsteps, and we'll never tell a soul.

Tonight I'm finding a way to make the things that you say
Just a little less obvious, I confess.
Tonight I'm dressed up in gold,
You've got me fucked up and sold;
You talk like you're famous, you're shameless.

Tonight I'm finding a way to make the things that you say
Just a little less obvious, I confess.
Tonight I'm dressed up in gold,
You've got me fucked up and sold;
You talk like you're famous, you're shameless.

Tonight I'm finding a way to make the things that you say
Just a little less obvious, I confess.
Tonight I'm dressed up in gold,
You've got me fucked up and sold;
You talk like you're famous, you're shameless.

vegas
Tonight, we lie awake.
Remember how the coffee made us shake on those long drives?
One more long night.

Another seven days, heartbeat racing
The interstate, my home tonight
For one more long night, I'm sure as hell the happiest I've ever been.

We get high, we let go, we've got more than we know
My friends are a different breed, my friends are.

There's a ghost in this room,
I think I'll name it after all of you.
And watch it hang over my bed like decorations celebrated;
Memories, they came and went in light of all the time we spent
Listening to everything our parents told us not to take in.

Now make a change, I'm counting down the mile marks to every town.
And falling more in love with the distance put between us.

We get high, we let go, we've got more than we know.
My friends are a different breed, my friends are everything.
Make this last, take it slow.
We've got it all figured out for now,
So let us live our lives without a doubt.

Tonight we lie awake.
Remember how the coffee made us shake on those long drives?
One more long night another seven days, heartbeat racing
The interstate, my home tonight for one more long night.

From coast to coast, I'll make the most
Of every second I've been giving with this crowd.
Without a doubt, you're all I dream about at night we lie awake.
With stories taking us back to the nights we felt alive,
The nights we felt alive.

I would've married you in Vegas had you given me the chance to say "I do."
Couldn't make it anymore obvious, could you?
Be anymore obvious.

I would've married you in Vegas had you given me the chance to say "I do."
Couldn't make it anymore obvious, could you?
Be anymore obvious, could you?

stay awake [dreams only last for a night]
Caught in a cold sweat, stuck splitting hairs and drinking too much
I'm on my way to striking out.
Go to sleep with the pressure of everyone watching and waiting;
They're yours for the taking, but I still have my doubts.

Before you ask which way to go, remember where you've been.

Stay awake, get a grip and get out.
You're safe from the weight of the world.
Just take a second to set things straight;
I'll be fine even though, I'm not always right.
I can count on the sun to shine.
Dedication takes a lifetime, but dreams only last for a night.

Figure it out
Boy, you're tripping so pull yourself together
Or you'll wash up like the rest
This ship is sinking
I'm thinking I'm done for
I'll watch as the sails disappear under water
'Cause I'm no captain yet

I said, "Before you ask which way to go, remember where you've been."

Stay awake, get a grip and get out.
You're safe from the weight of the world.
Just take a second to set things straight;
I'll be fine even though, I'm not always right.
I can count on the sun to shine.
Dedication takes a lifetime, but dreams only last for a night.

Believe you me;
I'll give them everything.
I'd tell them anything.
To show them everything.

Because you ain't the only ones who want to live it up
You ain't the only ones.

Stay awake, get a grip and get out.
You're safe from the weight of the world.
Just take a second to set things straight;
I'll be fine even though, I'm not always right.
I can count on the sun to shine.
Dedication takes a lifetime, but dreams only last for a night.

come one, come all
Come one, come all, you're just in time to witness my first breakdown.
Because there's a mile gone for every minute passed
When I'm wasting space in this town.

I've got a bone to pick with you, Mr. DJ;
The traffic and the sound is just as bad as it is in LA.

So go on, and lock me up.
You better throw away that key before
I find out where you broadcast from.
Because your play list is killing me.

I'll change that station;
Light it up like the 4th of July.
It's me, I'm caller fifteen.
Time to play my last request.

Come one, come all, you're just in time to witness my first breakdown.
Because there's a mile gone for every minute passed
When I'm wasting space in this town.
Don't call the doctors, I don't need no medication.
I just need one more vacation and make it last

Hear me out, please, judge and jury;
I'm an innocent man.
And it would be such a terrible injustice
To put me away without thinking about all the terrible mistakes
That goddamn radio jockey makes.
I swear he's out to get me-- Oh, I swear he's out to get me.

I'll change that station;
Light it up like the 4th of July.
It's me, I'm caller fifteen.
But it's too late for explanations.
This broadcast will be your last.

Come one, come all, you're just in time to witness my first breakdown.
Because there's a mile gone for every minute passed
When I'm wasting space in this town.
Don't call the doctors, I don't need no medication.
I just need one more vacation and make it last.

Hear me out, please, judge and jury.
And I swear he's out to get me.
Oh, I swear he's out to get me.
Go on, and lock me up.
You better throw away that key.
I swear he's out to get me.

Come one, come all, you're just in time to witness my first breakdown
Cause there's a mile gone for every minute passed
When I'm wasting space in this town.
Don't call the doctors, I don't need no medication.
I just need one more vacation and make it last.

Put Up Or Shut Up
coffee shop soundtrack
Should I write myself out of the history books,
and mark a place in time for every chance you took?
Don't get me wrong, I know you've got your life in place -
I've yet to take the hint, some day.
I'm sure I'll get the picture,
And stop waiting up...

When it all comes down,
To a sunrise on the east side,
Will you be there to carry home?
The remains of my wasted youth,
This wasted time on you
Has left me shaking in waiting,
Shaking in waiting for something more.

Tonight is alive with the promise of a street-fight,
And there's money on the table,
That says your cheap-shots won't be able to break bones.
I've yet to break a sweat,
I'll make your past regret its future.
Here's to you.

When it all comes down,
To a sunrise on the east side,
Will you be there to carry home,
The remains of my wasted youth,
This wasted time on you
Has left me shaking in waiting,
For something more.

Make all of my decisions for me,
I've never taken the fall for deceit,
I'll keep a secret if you keep me guessing,
The taste of your lips says we shouldn't have met like...

Make all of my decisions for me,
I've never taken the fall for deceit,
We'll keep a secret if you keep me guessing,
The taste of your lips says we shouldn't have met like this

I can keep a secret if you can keep me guessing,
The flavor of your lips is enough to keep me pressing,
For more than just a moment of truth between the lies told,
To pull ourselves away from the lives we leave back home...
I can keep a secret if you can keep me guessing,
The flavor of your lips is enough to keep me here, keep me here

When it all comes down,
To a sunrise on the east side,
Will you be there to carry me home,
The remains of my wasted youth,
This wasted time on you
Has left me shaking in waiting,
For something more.

jasey rae
The lights out andI still hear the rain,
These images that fill my head,
Now keep my fingers from making mistakes,
Tell my voice what it takes,
To speak up, speak up,
And keep my conscience clear when I wake.

Don't make this easy,
I want you to mean it, Jasey.
(say you mean it)
You're dressed to kill,
I'm calling you out (don't waste your time on me).

Now there's an aching in my back;
A stabbing pain that says I lack,
The common sense and confidence,
To bring an end to promises,
That I make in times of desperate conversation,
Hoping my night could be better than theirs in the end.
Just say when.

Don't make this easy,
I want you to mean it, Jasey.
(say you mean it)
You're dressed to kill,
I'm calling you out (don't waste your time on me).

I've never told a lie, and that makes me a liar.
I've never made a bet, but we gamble with desire.
I've never lit a match, with intent to start a fire.
But recently the flames are getting out of control.
Call me a name, kill me with words,
Forget about me, it's what I deserve.
I was your chance to get out of this town,
But I ditched the car and left you to;

Wait outside,
I hope the air will serve to remind you,
That my heart is as cold as the clouds of your breath,
And my words are as timed as the beating in my chest.

the party scene
Hey, kid, you've got, a lot of potential
But I think its time to move up, so go on and blow us away with your sound;
Now you're everything that we've come to love,
You taught us to move, so we'll show it off,
Just drop us the beat...

Here's to the fast times; the times we felt alive;
To all the nights that we forgot to get back home.
Stay seventeen,
The party scene has got the best of me and you,
We've got to let this go...

Drink up last call before the sunrise sets the scene,
Of empty bottles, heavy hearts, the memories of broken dreams...
We were so tired yet so alive,
Wrapped up in lies like sheets of another one night stand,
you know you left the girl with nothing but the,

Sunrise through the window pane, where tired eyes will close....
Stay seventeen, the party scene has got the best of me and you,
we've got to let this go...

I know she hopes I choke on this last drink,
Drop dead before my influence gets to her head...
She said, "I'll love you forever, or find something better.
It's all just the same as when we sleep together.
We wake up with headaches, and trouble remembering what went wrong..."

Stay seventeen, the party scene has got the best of me and you;
We've got to let this go...

running from lions
Get me out of this place, before I cause more damage,
A small price to pay for building houses out of matchsticks;
And when things get too hot, you've got me to blame for
Every fire that breaks out in every lover's name.

Don't forget, we've got unfinished business,
Stories yet to unfold,
Tales that must be retold,
And I regret not knowing when to put an end to all this madness.
Keeps me wanting,
Keeps me wanting more...

Sell me out, I'm yesterday's old news;
Phrases left on paper,
Black ink bleeding through
The pages where we made our history.
Call me foolish,
I feel hopeless...

Running from lions, never felt like such a mistake (Like a dear caught in the headlights)
Running from lions, never felt like such a mistake (I won't know what hit me...)
Running from lions, never felt like such a mistake (Like a dear caught in the headlights)
Running from lions, never felt like such a... (I won't know what hit me...)

Don't forget, we've got unfinished business,
Stories yet to unfold,
Tales that must be retold,
And I regret not knowing when to put an end to all this madness,
Keeps me wanting,
Keeps me wanting more...

lullabies
Make it a sweet, sweet goodbye -
It could be for the last time and it's not right.
"Don't let yourself get in over your head," he said.
Alone and far from home we'll find you...

Dead - Like a candle you burned out;
Spill the wax over the spaces left in place of angry words.
Scream - To be heard, like you needed any more attention;
Throw the bottle, break the door, and disappear.

Sing me to sleep, I'll see you in my dreams,
Waiting to say, "I miss you. I'm so sorry."

Forever's never seemed so long as when you're not around
It's like a piece of me is missing.
I could have learned so much from you but what's left now?
Don't you realize you shot this family a world of pain?
Can't you see there should have been a happy ending we let go?

Sing me to sleep, I'll see you in my dreams,
Waiting to say, "I miss you. I'm so sorry."

Sing me to sleep.
Sing me to sleep.
Sing me to sleep.
Sing me to s...

Sing me to sleep (You've taken so much with you...)
I'll see you in my dreams (But left the worst with me...)
Waiting to say, "I miss you. I'm so sorry."
I'm sorry, I'm sorry..

"Love is--- sickly health, troubled rest, pious sin, warlike peace, a pleasant wound, a delightful calamity, anxious happiness,"
"a devious path, dark light, gentle harshenss, a light lump of lead, both a flowery winter and withered, flowerless spring, a thorny rose, a capricious law without justice, weeping laughter,"
"laughing lamentation, intermperate temperance, a hostel ally and a gracious enemy, fickle constancy, a wish oppose to itself, hoping despairing of itself, doubt faith, black whiteness, bright blackness, bitter honey,"
"delicious gall, a prison offering pleasure, irrational reason, foolish discretion, an untrustworthy judge,"
"an ignorant person reflecting upon everything, food never digestible and drink ever thirsty, an insatiable mental hunger, a living death, a dying life, harmonious discord, a garrulous mind, mute speech, a secret fever, poor prosperity, prosperous poverty,"
"a slavish prince, a subject queen and destitute king, drunken sobriety, demented clemency, the port of Scylla, a pestilential cure, a way of health;"
"love is a delightful serpent, a ferocious lamb, a gentle lion, a timid hawk and a rapacious dover, a fatuous school turning out an even more fatuous pupil, whose mind applies itself the more diligently as a result."
