I'm an obtuse man, so Ill try to be oblique. I must be out of mind to find myself into this tangled web. To take back everything I said. Insecurity Kid: my motto To throw away every good chance that I get. Get over it, get over it I know its them you can stop thinking of Get over it, get over it Its gonna kill you if you keep this up We all know sometimes life gets rough Get over it, get over it It's about time you said "enough of the way I'm feeling" They say you get what you give so to get nothing would mean I'm done I lost it Its over No more sure can't stand for all the things I could have done for her. Get over it, get over it I know its them you can stop thinking of Get over it, get over it Its gonna kill you if you keep this up We all know sometimes life gets rough Get over it, get over it It's about time you said "enough" Remember July, you and I carried our weight I just could not wait to start looking forward Last February when no one was caring our carelessness and regrets destroyed us and then it was over I knew how sad you'd be and it was terrible for me. I can't be mad. We've got our whole lives ahead of us life really isn't that bad. I promise I wont forget what we had Get over it, get over it I know its me you can stop thinking of Get over it, get over it Its gonna kill you if you keep this up We all know sometimes life gets rough Get over it, get over it It's about time you said "enough" Stereo You don't know how long Vie been wandering around these unmarked streets, to the middle of my ghost town. Vie been awake all day, and tonight Ill do the same. My reoccurring dreams of houses filled with flames I let burn down You'll never, never know who left who and who left who behind You'll never, never know who left who and who left who behind "I don't care," she said. "What's going through your head. If you write one song about me Ill never speak to you." Does it gotta be that way? Some famous last words I'm sorry to say, you best plug your ears baby I'm not going out without a sound It's hard enough for me to get these words out. I am your stereo you are my picture frame I play you what's inside me when who you hold will change We were more complicated than all the songs that remind me of you there's nothing wrong with looking back unless you're aching for the past I love the sound of my voice and the words that I have written down. This is my life, proof in sound that I I am your stereo You are my picture frame I play you what's inside me When who you hold will change. Roleen Wa Baka Desu I tried, man. My upper hands not broken. But it's definitely bruised. I tried to walk all over you but you managed to borrow a pair of my walking-on shoes. And I just can't seem to forget this I just can't shake this off. I don't need a general consensus, To resent this girl would hit the spot. Ill fake a smile and walk away You'll never read these words that hit blank pages and fell apart So I guess Ill slip on my necktie. What's displayed is important I guess cause now you're gone and nothings left. What are you doing to my brain Princess? I feel I've lost everything. You've limited me to redundancy another boy who is way better dressed. Another Mikey-car-staring contest. See, I still stare at every silver sport utility vehicle I see. In hopes that are looking for me. To say hey baby I'm really sorry I cant believe I almost compromised everything. And that's where you come back to me I hate automobiles. I've never seen much use here. But you can bet Your pretty face Ill have a 2008 at your place if it could take me to anything remotely resembling everything I've been missing. So enough with your resilient bullshit, Ill go cry on the shoulders of my band-geek friends. I bet you though you made me look pretty stupid But I was pretty stupid before I ever lost you I was pretty stupid before I ever met you I was pretty stupid the broken heart I had before you I was pretty stupid the broken heart I had before her too. Stick up for yourself I don't know what she means to me yet, but I know its gotta be something. Cause I lifted my head and took a deep breath And that's good enough for now I've picked myself up and let myself down for what seems like more than a decade I'm stuck in my past avoiding my future at present wasting days I think about the times I didn't have to think at all and what it feels like to be loved honestly My ex-girlfriend is stuck in my head and she's been there for a long time And it doesn't make sense cause when we were together we both felt so alone I know it sounds dumb, but I've been worried about my lack of conviction Cause the song in my heart is fading into the noises in the street I think about the nights I couldn't think about anyone else and how I felt so uninspired its been some time since I have tried to find that silver lining I've been a wreck ever since she left me open-handed, waiting I healed inside spent a month in hiding in hopes it would subside came up for air when the coast was clear and started over as I started writing I hope this means something to you I hope this means something to you honestly... I'm here for the night I don't trust myself but I'm good for the ride Her name is everything I've felt for a while. who knows what I may promise you when I make you mine Where the Sidewalk Begins could she learn to love me the way I am reckless and hopeless lacking forms of better judgment she's been the one that I'm not sure I've waited for But one day she just walked through the door I never found the right words always had something to say I've been so gone for so long To let it slip away again I think I got it all back anything and everything that I gave away in the time it took for me to fall in love I've been relying on my friends and all the time we spend broke but believing that someday this will all get better I've got my problems and Ironic good luck and too many best friends I can trust a tendency to give a little more than I get back. Its a curse until it comes around and I catch you on the front porch singing I never found the right words always had something to say I've been so gone for so long To let it slip away again I think I got it all back anything and everything that I gave away in the time it took for me to fall in love the night we stayed awake until the sun came up sipping on champagne and I kissed you as we slept there on the floor I knew you were my diamond in the rough with any luck Ill see you tomorrow I repeat my failures when I forget the past and there's nothing on my mind except for when I'll see her All I know is I think I can breathe again and maybe someday you could be my girl How's it goin Royal Ugly Dudes??? This is the question of how you will break and how much it will cost you --how much it may to relive all the good times and to replace another night of normalcy. This is your life and it's running out minute by minute as the sun goes down you've got a dream with a little bit more self-doubt another chance you'll never take. You spent your best 5 years playing dead tired tryin' to get ahead. All you got was a little bit older and a big TV don't you wish you could take it back? Say so long to all your dreams, hello dependency cause there's never a better time to put this off and have all the things you can never get away from This is the good life or so you think its the next big promotion the next big thing until you're worn out and wishing you could escape another night of normalcy. The girl who you met when you went to the bars is a couple years younger but its cool so far she's got some new tattoos and you've got scars and a life of complacency she's stayed the past two nights and made you feel real again she wont solve anything like thinking of the problems you wish you didn't have this is where you make your peace with bigger-than-life fathers and high school neighborhood best friends would you rather go through life as someone asking questions or someone questioning the answers? This is your house you can burn it down if you want to This is your house you can burn it down if you want to Straighten Your Hair Who's up for some backstabbing today? Man that is way too cliche. I need to write something darker, something about a black heart. Do I sound hard? Way too predictable, way too impersonal, that's the last thing I'm singing about. you see you take the worst thing that has every happened to you and then the words come out. Its not fair to have to shake the same hand that held a sharp instrument. Forget what I just said. It may seem like I have no feeling I took a vicious beating, no that's not true at all. Look what you did, look what you're doing. You've reduced your friends to cliches and metaphors. What are friends for? Oh come on, we've been through this a thousand times. You know we've been through your excuses -- all lame, irrelevant, invalid and useless. You've reduced your friends to cliches and metaphors. Friend-deduction, self-destruction, you need horrible lyrics to break out your worst form. But what for these lyrics never change do they? I could write a million songs that would be drowned out by the smoky air. Maybe that's where I went wrong. Maybe smoke breaks are something sacred. Firey embers held to their lips are like zippers that are being sealed shut. Gotta kick your habit gotta kick mine too, gotta kick out this doubt. Temporary zipper smoker code gets broken, and then the word gets out. We all have these terrible things to say, and nothing better to do. Except point out all of your problems, cause see that's addiction number two. I guess they say that life is made of these stupid races and we are all rats that are dangling halos in front of each others faces. Its all true, I don't even know who said that. Maybe it was one of my prominent moments. I have those, contrary to popular deceit. Frostbitten, Twice Shy I'm tired of can't can't waiting to see your pretty smile Babe you're my better half though half a block would be better then to sit here and measure a couple hundred miles away that's what you always are I just don't get it your heart is so close to me but that smile is so far lets make the most of nothing its easy to get preoccupied waiting to occupy another's time but its okay its okay I promise we need to just trust this I refuse to give up I refuse to fold Don't forget about us even though I deserve it for being dishonest bitter and bitter cold my mind is so frozen my tears have turned to snow I wont let you go how bad it feels to know I've thrown it all away away, you've thrown it all away away Bad Checks/Car Wrecks Predictable predictable don't say I didn't warn you this has worn thin I am torn between what you've sworn to me and what I have come to believe is an accident too graphic to set eyes on and the wreckage the wreckage will reckon my reckless self as the hostage of something so sickening you can be so condescending irresistible you're resisting she's taking advantage of you at so many miles per hour to throw in the towel at a time like this isn't like you but its all for the better I insist how did we let things get like this you must have let your guard down I must not let this collision put you in the ground I've known you to handle worse things without me around The sound is gone now you can mess with the radio but notice how quickly your attention will conceal your ability to keep 2 hands on the wheel you can be so condescending the sound is gone now the sound is gone now the sound I think my friend this crash is preventable as long as the driver is capable Today's going to be a long tomorrow Summer's here and we're ready to break out Just one year but we've already forgotten about last summer and all the stuff that went down There's no way we'll make the same mistakes this time around It's funny how we think we have it all figured out, then it all comes crashing down, but if we just wait it out it will all turn back around Ups and downs are what life is all about, but any day that you're alive is still a good day to be around Yeah well we might have lost a lot of time but it's all we've got and it's ours to lose If we want to spend our time chasing big dreams then who are you to tell us what to do 'Cause failing hurts but not as much as wishing that you would've done things differently So say I'm wrong but I've got the heart and stories to prove sometimes you have to get lost to find your way through It's funny how we think we have it all figured out, then it all comes crashing down, but if we just wait it out it will all turn back around Ups and downs are what life is all about, but any day that you're alive is still a good day to be around How to lose a girl in 10 days Come close, come close I want you to hear this Come close, closer I want you to feel this This is, this is the sound of my heart beat, beat, beating I'll turn it up so, I'll turn it up so you can hear it but I know the closer you get, the more I'm sure this is not what I wanted Somehow my head has confused my heart again, but listen... If you say, "don't run," then I'm yours If you say, "don't run," then I'm yours until I come undone. I guess, I guess I always make the same mistakes That's why I, that's why I only know what "I love you" sounds like when it's said too late, when there's no possible way anything good can come from this, but I love you, so if you don't want to hear me say "goodnight" Then just say, "don't run" and I'm yours If you say, "don't run," then I'm yours until I come undone. If you say, if you say... (don't run, don't run, don't run...) On a quest to save the princess Take the stage, turn down the lights Tonight will be our night to shine I know you might say that you think that I'm crazy but I think that you're perfect for me and I'm just getting so tired of pretending that you're not getting, getting to me So I'll start writing the scene where the plot turns and I'll be sketching you in right next to me I'll write every line so we work out perfectly by the end of the night because I'm tired of waiting for someone to cast me a part in your scene I'm tired of just being in these background shots and I know you might say that you think that I'm crazy but i think that you're perfect for me and I'm just getting so tired of pretending that you're not getting, getting to me So I was thinking if you're not doing anything this summer why don't you come over? We'll take long drives with the windows down We'll hang out and fall in love What do you say? What do you say? I know you're unpredictable like train wrecks and butterflies but I've made up my mind so you should come over tonight and we'll go for a ride listen to Weezer with the volume up loud And we'll sing at the top of our lungs all night even at, even at the stoplights We'll sing at the top of our lungs all night We'll sing at the top of our lungs... So I was thinking if you're not doing anything this summer why don't you come over? We'll take long drives with the windows down We'll hang out and fall in love What do you say? What do you say? You eat rocks You'll never know but we didn't survive the night our heroes died We watched as they fell from the sky and crash-landed on couches or blacked-out in backyards Nothing was ever as hard as when we woke-up the next day and everything, everything changed We were left spinning around always looking for the right time and the right place for the blame Point, point your finger but this isn't about the way I've changed or how you've stayed the same We've made our decisions let's try not call them mistakes It's not that I can't stop rather the time stops after every plan I make drops It's such a let down to me but I'm in total control My life is so wonderful on the floor in a bathroom at a party singing completely out of tune Things can be different you know Am I the only one who thinks that? Am I the only one who feels that way? I hope not I think things are gonna change I feel it Join me I'll be ready after my next drink. Point, point your finger but this isn't about the way I've changed or how you've stayed the same We've made our decisions let's try not call them mistakes Point, point your finger but this isn't about the way you've changed or how I've stayed the same We've made our decisions let's try not call them mistakes We're drawing lines We're choosing sides We're losing sight of the fact that we can all use a second chance sometimes sometimes Because in spite of what you think there's no difference, no difference between you and me If you just look closely you'll see we all have wings we all have... Point, pointed our fingers but this isn't about the way I've changed or how you've stayed the same We've made our decisions let's try not call them mistakes... Point, point your finger but this isn't about the way you've changed or how I've stayed the same We've made our decisions let's try not call them mistakes... 'Cause we'll look back some day and laugh about this anyway.
