Faber Drive

When I met you you told me,
to forget you, you're way out of my league.
But it happened, couldn't I see,
a disaster was ready to be unleashed.
Tryin' to climb the ladder
but I'm handcuffed to the bottom,
need to use the keys
but you're the only one who's got'em.

I know the end is coming.
I should've started runnin'.
A 24 story love affair.
With me down here and you up there.
I know it's all but over,
I wish the last kiss would have lasted longer.
A 24 story love affair.
With me down here and you up there.
With me down here and you up there.

Towering above me,
started climbing and never thought it through.
You warned me,
should have listened.
Now I'm sorry that I ever met you too.
Tryin' to climb the ladder
but I'm handcuffed to the bottom,

I know it's all but over,

A 24 story love affair.
With me down here and you up there.

My fingers are numb from holding on.
I'm climbing a building like King Kong.
Feel like I've been shot down all day long,
but I'm holding on.

I know the end is comin'.
So scared of her it's numbing,
24 story love affair
with me down here and you up there.
With me down here and you up there.

I know the end is coming.
I should've started runnin'.
A 24 story love affair.
With me down here and you up there.
I know it's all but over,
I wish the last kiss would have lasted longer.
A 24 story love affair.
With me down here and you up there.

24 story love affair
with me down here and you up there.

with me down here and you up there.

with me down here and you up there.

Tattoos and piercings

I found the phone
I must've missed your message
You got it wrong
It wasn't what your friend said
Tell by your tone,
I've taken it too far again.
Just when I thought I'd gone and fixed it all again.

Your friends are telling you, you gotta move on.
Just when I thought I'd gone and wrecked it all again.
You turned around so I could tell you what took so long.
I don't know why I ever waited to say.
'Cause I'm just dying just to see you again .

Instead of holding you, I was holding out.
I should've let you in, but I let you down.
You were the first to give; I was the first to ask.
Now I'm in second place, to get a second chance.

I should've known, that you were not for granted
Gotta let you know, I was never underhanded.
Tell by your tone, I've taken it too far again.
Just when I thought I'd gone and fixed it all again.

My friends are telling me they saw you with someone.

You were the first to give; I was the first to ask.
Now I'm in second place, to get a second chance.

My last mistake, putting my friends first.
I tried to laugh it off but I made things worse.
You were the first to give; I was the first to ask.
Now I'm in second place, to get a second chance.

What you give is always what you get.
There's so much I haven't given yet.
If you could give another second chance.

Pumpin' on my sleeve
Heart that barely beats stallin'
Uh oh
Foatin' facin' down
Sea of broken vows
Drownin'
Uh oh

Blow after blow and I'm starting to see why
Better alone than be bruised by your dark side
Down to the bone you're the knife that'll cut right through

Sex and love don't feel the way I do
Sex and love's not real when it's from you

Solely for effect
Mornin' make up sex is hollow
Uh oh
Burnin' to the ground
House that used to stand so solid

Uh oh

Blow after blow and I'm starting to see why
Better alone than be bruised by your dark side
Down to the bone you're the knife that'll cut right through

Sex and love don't feel the way I do
Sex and love's not real when it's from you

Blow after blow and I'm starting to see why
Better alone than be bruised by your dark side
Down to the bone you're the knife that'll cut right through

Sex and love don't feel the way I do
Sex and love's not real when it's from you
Sex and love don't feel the way I do
Sex and love's not real when it's from you
Sex and love don't feel the way I do
Sex and love's not real when it's from you

Another sleepless night
I'm still starin at the ceiling
I can hear him fightin
With her for no good reason
Will this ever end?
Will this house be a home again?
If I had my way
I'd corner him and say

Put yourself in her position
All she needs is recognition
Love's not enough when you say it
Don't you know you've gotta mean it
Screwin up the best thing ever
Is something you'll regret forever

Another day goes by
And nothing changed, he's still the same
I can hear her cryin'
Thinkin she's the one to blame
Will this ever end?
Will this house be a home again?
If I had my way
I'd corner him and say

Put yourself in her position
All she needs is recognition


Love's not enough when you say it
Don't you know you've gotta mean it
Screwin up the best thing ever
Is something you'll regret forever
Take her and make sure she feels it
Let her know you'll never let her go

Screwin up the best thing ever
Is something you'll regret forever
Another sleepless night
Nothing changed, he's still the same
Another stupid fight
And someone's gotta say

Put yourself in her position
All she needs is recognition
Love's not enough when you say it
Don't you know you've gotta mean it
Screwin up the best thing ever
Is something you'll regret forever
Take her and make sure she feels it
Let her know you'll never let her go

Put yourself in her position
All she needs is recognition
Take her and make sure she feels it
Let her know you'll never let her go

Yeah
I count down the days until we say goodbye
I wish there was a way that i could just stop time
forever, remember
summer nights we spent together
on my car, counting stars
just wishing I

could stay(I know we only met a month ago)
with you(its always hard to let the feelings go)
when summer fades to fall(whoa whoa)
I'd stay(I should have known that this would come and go)
with you(and now we'll only get the afterglow)
when summer fades to fall(whoa whoa)

far away from you only time will tell
when your back in school will you meet someone else
remember, forever
summer nights we spent together
holding hands, making plans
just wishing I

could stay(I know we only met a month ago)
with you(its always hard to let the feelings go)

when summer fades to fall(whoa whoa)
I'd stay(I should have known that this would come and go)
with you(and now we'll only get the afterglow)
when summer fades to fall(whoa whoa)

everytime I think of you
I dont wanna face the truth
why wait forever knowing we may never follow through
guess I should get over you

but I cant let go so soon
why wait forever knowing we may never follow though (I'll wait forever just for you)
I count down the days until we say goodbye
I wish there was a way that I could just stop time
just wishing I

could stay(I know we only met a month ago)
with you(its always hard to let the feelings go)
when summer fades to fall(whoa whoa)
when summer fades to fall(whoa whoa)
when summer fades to fall(whoa whoa)

yeah(whoa whoa)
I should have known that this would come and go
and now we only get the after glow
when summer fades to fall

Bright cold silver moon
Tonight alone in my room
You were here just yesterday
Slight turn of a head
Eyes down when you said
I guess I need my life to change
Seems like some things just aren't the same
What could I say

I need a little more luck than a little bit
Cause every time I get stuck the words won't fit
And every time that I try I get tongue tied
I need a little good luck to get me by
I need a little more help than a little bit
Like a perfect one word no one's heard yet
Cause every time that I try I get tongue tied
I need a little good luck to get me by this time

I stare up at the stars
I wonder just where you are
You feel a million miles away
(I wonder just where you are)
Was it something I said
Or something I never did
Or was I always in the way
(Was it something I did)
Can someone tell me what to say
To just make you stay

I need a little more luck than a little bit
Cause every time I get stuck the words won't fit
And every time that I try I get tongue tied
I need a little good luck to get me by
I need a little more help than a little bit
Like a perfect one word no one's heard yet
Cause every time that I try I get tongue tied
I need a little good luck to get me by this time

Now it feels like the end
Don't wanna be here again
And we could help each other
Off the ground so we never fall down again
And what it takes I don't care
We're gonna make it I swear
And we could help each other
Off the ground so we never fall down again
Again

I need a little more luck than a little bit
Cause every time I get stuck the words won't fit
But every time that I try I get tongue tied
I need a little good luck to get me by
I need a little more help than a little bit
Like a perfect one word no one's heard yet
Cause every time that I try I get tongue tied
I need a little good luck to get me by this time

Now it feels like the end
Don't wanna be here again
And we could help each other
Off the ground so we never fall down again
And what it takes I don't care
We're gonna make it I swear
And we could help each other
Off the ground so we never fall down again

Saw you walk in to the room
Thought i'd try to talk to you
Babe, am i ever glad you wanted me to
Its been two years to the day
half the time I've been away
I know I'm not there enough
but that's gonna change
cause I'm coming back
to show you that
I'm keeping the promise that i made

When i'm with you
I'll make every second count
cause i miss you, whenever you're not around
when i kiss you

years from now,
I'll make every second count
when I'm with you

(na na na na na nananananana)
(na na na na na nananananana)

but we've always worked them out

wishing i was by your side
cause when i'm not there enough
nothing feels right
so i'm coming back to show you that I'll love you the rest of my life


when i'm with you
I'll make every second count
cause i miss you, whenever your not around

There's parents prayin
To feed their families today
While men with money
Still think it's funny
To spend their change
On every pointless thing

We gotta stand up
Put our hands up and fight
Like an army
We'll keep on marchin
For what is right
We're bringin hope to life
All you gotta do is..

Say what you wanna say
And be what you wanna be
Don't let yourself get all confused
Cause all you gotta be is you to make it
You'll make it

You know what you need to know
To go where you wanna go
No one can tell you what to do
Cause it's your life, it's up to you to make it
You'll make it

The world is tired
Of all the little lies they preach
The politicians
Who blur our vision
So we believe
In someone else's speech

We gotta stand up
Put our hands up and fight
We are an army
Always marchin
For what is right


We're bringin hope to life
All you gotta do is..

Say what you wanna say
And be what you wanna be
Don't let yourself get all confused
Cause all you gotta be is you to make it
You'll make it

You know what you need to know
To go where you wanna go
No one can tell you what to do
Cause it's your life, it's up to you to make it
You'll make it

There's kids with guns bein forced to fight
The lucky ones will make it home alive
And everyone's got a choice to make
The world won't change until we finally find a way

To say what we wanna say
And be what we need to be
Don't let yourself get all confused
Cause all you gotta be is you to make it
You'll make it

You know what you need to know
To go where you wanna go
No one can tell you what to do
Cause it's your life, it's up to you to make it
You'll make it

We gotta stand up
Put our hands up to fight
We are an army
Always marchin
For what is right
We're bringin hope to life
