I'm on the outside looking in That's where my story begins Took the pain of growing up And I walked on through This is how I'm showing up I feel great, how about you?
So here I stand out on my own Myself the only truth that I've known I went through all the things, I had to do You know sometimes it stings but I feel great, how about you? How about you?
Playing life just like a game Good or bad it's all the same Let the world know how I feel And you know it's real And you know I'm real
I saw you walking past me just the other day Another heartbeat with thoughts of yesterday You looked the same, years are only time I still wonder why our hearts could never rhyme
You stood beside me, you didn't recognize me Funny how things never change And when you walked on by a memory surprised me smoking cigarettes, your girlfriends by the pool
Your smell I could not forget That's as close as i could get you were so fucking cool I'm no good, you're no better Wouldn't we be perfect together?
All I wanted was a piece of your heart, you left me torn apart Fuck the rest before me and their crimes For your love I'll serve their time I'm no good, you're no better Wouldn't we be perfect together?
I was alone, I decided to get up, decided to get out I picked up the phone and I gave my boys a shout Told 'em I'd be out around nine No particular plan, just whatever comes to mind
Frank called me up And said there's a show tonight Do ya wanna go tonight? I'm giving my girl the night off 'Cuz I'm hanging out with Steinkopf
Whenever I'm down I know where my friends can be found Whenever there's a doubt I just have to shout
He's my friend, he's my alibi My accessory to the crime A bond that will never die Till the end of time Till the end of time
Another night and we got somewhere to go Goin' out meeting up at the punk rock show Where the air is hot and the music is loud My kind of place this is my kind of crowd And we'll be here until the night is done Loyal to my friends and sworn to fun
He's my friend, he's my alibi My accessory to the crime A bond that will never die Till the end of time Till the end of time
Just like a sunny day can turn all dark and gray This game goes on and on Out on the streets, broken dreams they come so cheap No one can leave me for dead I got one good fight left in me tonight And the most beautiful girl in my head
Sometimes she comes to me in a song Sometimes she comes in a dream She's all the joy in my heart She's everything that I see
Days they come and days go by Sometimes we fight and I don't know why I'll give it all up to her Everything I did and said I've got all I want now in my sight And the most beautiful girl in my head
Sometimes she comes to me in a song Sometimes she comes in a dream She's all the joy in my heart She's everything that I see
When we're together there is no time, there is no space When we're together everything is in it's place Turn myself inside out for her My endless love is without form Let my heart be the light That guides her through the storm
Tomorrow's a lifetime away She's all I want today Tomorrow's a lifetime away She's all I want today Today, today
Goin' to the same old places Skipping like a broken record I love you all but I gotta get out And change this scenery
I've got to find what I'm living for I've got to change this life that I'm living
Nowhere to run from myself No where to hide from the truth Nowhere to run from myself No where to hide from the truth
I tried to find someone, someone who knew Somebody to give myself to I learned the hard way, when you give yourself away You give away your life too
Nowhere to run from myself No where to hide from the truth Nowhere to run from myself No where to hide from the truth
Nowhere to run from myself No where to hide from the truth Nowhere to run from myself No where to hide from the truth
I tried to find someplace that seemed right for me I walked the streets until I lost my mind And that was the best place to be When I lost my mind, the truth set me free Set me free, set me free, set me free
We can't agree on a single thing, I don't know why We almost killed each other on the inside I managed to be a jerk anyway It doesn't have to be this way
Forget about the things I said I make no excuse for them I want to start again I want to start again
We all walk our separate ways, I don't know why I hope we meet again, somewhere some day I can't change the way you feel It doesn't have to be this way
Forget about the things I said I make no excuse for them I want to start again I want to start again
I think about the two of us, I don't know why I feel good on the inside It's different now, I'm one, I stand alone I have to be this way I have to be this way
Forget about the things I said I make no excuse for them I want to start again I want to start again I want to start again I want to start again
Forget about the things I said Forget about the things I said Forget about the things I said
Waiting for the morning light to sneak up with the sunrise Last night was so long ago, where did the hours ago? I saw the first daylight shining in your eyes You were mine and the world was ours
Dreams of a better life can come true It's all there in you
Just like a break in the clouds when the sun come shining through Momentary glimpse of the divine sometimes when I look at you And everything just cancels out And for that moment there's no doubt
Dreams of a better life can come true It's all there in you
Sometimes a new day can bring a new beginning You took me to a place, no time can erase Yesterday I was a loser Today I'm winning, today you're mine and the world is ours
Dreams of a better life can come true It's all there in you Dreams of a better life can come true It's all there in you
I've met some people along the way Some of them split some of them stay Some of them walk some walk on by I've got a few friends I'll love till I die From all of these people I try to learn Some of them shine some of them burn Some of them rise some of them fall For good or bad I've known them all
We live our life in our own way Never really listened to what they say The kind of faith that doesn't fade away we are the true believers
Well you can fight or you can run Under a rock till the war is won Play it safe and don't make a sound But not us we won't back down true believers all the way You and I
I used to have home With a room and be A porch and a driveway With a big garage But I traded it in I kept some faith And laid my head down every night And it seems so far awy
Remember me now 'cause things Always change 5 Long years has gone I've done some time Sleeping where I fall I know I'll never be the same
I learned somethings About the places I saw I learned something about myself I guess it came the hard way Now I know what counts I've got one prayer It's in your confidence I know all the places I don't want to be everyone's Gone there'e no one just me
Remember me now 'cause things Always change 5 Long years has gone I've done some time Sleeping where I fall I know I'll never be the same
Remember me next time I go away For the first time I wanna stay I can count one hand here today The only thing that matters to me Anyway and it seems so far away
Remember me now 'cause things Always change 5 Long years has gone I've done some time Sleeping where I fall I know I'll never be the same
I put that record on just to make a sound The rhythm hit get my movement off the ground The soundtrack of what I want to be If I want to change the world, it's gotta start with me
I put the needle on the record and play that song again And in the end what have we learned? Are we just faces in the crowd? I died and was reborn again today
Hold fast to myself, make these good feelings stay We laughed we cried The music shaped our lives So tell me why our movement's out of time?
Are we so out of line? I put the needle on the record and play that song again A movement with no leaders We stand tonight hearts in our hands
> Music sounds in my ear there are bricks for my view I hear the train pass and I'm sure that I miss you But I'll keep my head and I'll try and I know this will pass by and by I made some coffee and I overheard the neighbors too sometimes they laugh sometimes they scream it all reminds me of you But I don't worry anyway, after all you are so far away Sometimes sadness feels happy sometimes sadness keeps my head. Sometimes it helps me to get by maybe I don't make no sense But I know I'm gonna try and I know this will pass by and by Now I know I'm gonna try and I know this will pass by and by
> It's hot It's a four-alarm fricasee boy this heat is killing me it's hot it's hot tonight It's duelling dicks in a deep-fry It's hot standing next to these other guys it's hot It's sweaty snapper in a stir-fry A blazing sun under a red sky It's hot It's hot It's sexy and it's wet and the show ain't even over yet How much better can get tonight It's so hot i can't even think I need some air I need a drink Sweaty bodies everywhere down to their underwear tonight! My balls are sticking to my leg Pass the 40; sippin' dregs Raise the roof let's set it off cause we just can get enough tonight!
I've got to be me baby and you gotta be you Something isn't right but I know I love you I only want what's best I don't know Is this Some kind of test. Yeah and you're failing All we do is bicker
Say goodbye Kiss my ass I hope you die Wish me well You can go to hell
We were so different a short time ago Love Is suppose to make us happy supposed to make us grow But I just wanna punch you in the face I love you I guess needed the space Oh well another time and another place
Say goodbye Kiss my ass I hope you die Wish me well You can go to hell
The one minute I saw you I remember your red shoes I keep this little memory of you I see you in my mind when I need to
Thank you for your red shoes
Some say the world isn't fair At least for one moment and I didn't care It's all in how I see it and what I choose Nothing seems black when I see your red shoes
Thank you for your red shoes
That minute, that I saw you I remember you and your red shoes Now I have his memory of you I see you in my mind when I need to
Monday morning, I woke up late I feel like shit and I can't see straight One last drink was a bad idea I'm on the bowl with diarrhea
Out the door in a fog Barked at by the neighbors dog Forgot my keys, I went back inside I got a flat, so I can't ride The phone rings, aw jeez, now what? I'm an idiot, so I pick it up, hello
Now I'm held up on my line My cretin landlord, he's wasting my time He wants his money or we go to trial He's got penis envy denial
Another weekend, I didn't get laid It's a Monday morning ant brigade Another weekend, I didn't get paid It's a Monday morning ant brigade
Fuck it all, no regrets I'm staying in and you can bet It sucks outside in the pouring rain I'll smoke some pot, fry my brain Thom cut the record down to the bone I'm a sure shot, rocking the microphone
Another weekend, I didn't get laid It's a Monday morning ant brigade I got the Monday mornings I got the Monday mornings I got the Monday mornings I got the Monday mornings
Passed some time on the stoop On the block were we used to sit I thought about it all too much I thought so hard I couldn't see Pete rode by on his Hutch
Passed some time on the stoop On the block were we used to sit I looked down and tied my shoes I thought about it all too much I looked up and then I knew
I guess these things Were meant to be And there's no use fighting What's in me
Night on earth Night on earth
Passed some time walking around Looking for something to be When I stopped to look around All the music was different to me
All these places we used to go When I loved you I didn't see I'll miss you but now I'll know Better next time because I found me
I guess these things Were meant to be And there's no use fighting What's in me
