(verse 1) I won’t let you down, you said to me that night Searching, turning, burning on the bedroom floor We’re never gonna die, we’ll make the world stand still Famous last words whispered in a wide-eyed ear
(pre-chorus 1) You say that I scared cuz I never would hurt you Your reflex strategy
(chorus) One more time for love, one more time for pain One more time for losing all I’ve gained I’ve seen it all before, and all I want is more So one more time for fire in the rain
(verse 2) Another city night, another wasted meal Another child falls victim of a thoughtless kill
(pre-chorus 2) And history warns us a repeated forecast We’re never gonna learn
(verse 1) Never asked the real reason why There’s no need to ever know Words are sharpened knives Carving truth from lies When your heart’s exposed
(chorus) If I’d foreseen the storm we’d bring For all the promises we’d severe But no one can know the weather I’d keep you safe from suffering Sheltered in our arms together But nobody lives forever
(verse 2) When you’re with me there’s no thought of time And the moonlight is so kind Then tomorrow comes With no care for tonight, tonight
(chorus) If I’d foreseen the storm we’d bring For all the promises we’d severe But no one can know the weather If I’m never to shine again I’m filled with all the light you’ve given Nobody lives forever
(bridge) We can leave this lonely place, live among the falling stars Never wonder what we are, and we never have to say Goodbye, goodbye
(verse 1) I know a girl, a little girl And she’s on every medication in the world One day she laughs, the next she cries And I always seem to be her alibi
(pre-chorus 1) How could I’ve known what was hiding behind All of the glitter, those innocent eyes
(verse 2) And there’s no point, and there’s no reason In this world of hers And she won’t eat, but something’s eating In this little girl
(pre-chorus 2) Someone should warn you of this in advance Who would’ve thought that she’d give me a chance
(chorus) Manic depressive inside her, sweet compulsive liar Suicidal queen But I have got her totally, she’s my psycho girly And she’s in love with me
(verse 3) I know a girl, a little girl Who thinks her heartbeat is the axis of the world And anything that don’t go right Forces all the other planets to collide
(pre-chorus 3) I try to go but she won’t let me leave I’m locked in her lips, they taste just like cherry cream
(verse 1) Baby baby baby when you slipped away I thought I was sure that day, I thought I could make you stay I loved you every moment whether was wrong or right I'd alway be up at night hopin' you'd see the light
(pre-chorus 1) And all these times, they come and go But people never change, we never know So someone tell what is real, so babe
(chorus) Are you stayin, I'm sayin it's time to change Now are you playin', or waiting to feel this way Cuz baby I'm seein’ you leavin and I got to say That you can change your song or baby I'm movin' on

(pre-chorus 2) And sometimes love can come and go But my heart will never change, this I know So can you tell me what is real
(repeat chorus)

(verse 1) Vital let me heal your bloody wounds Don’t you know your battles will choose you There’s no prize or song for my storybook Let me lullaby you to euphoria Euphoria
(verse 2) Live in dreams cuz the future scares ya War and greed and mass hysteria They don’t save any souls they can’t afford So dig in get your piece this is euphoria Euphoria
(verse 3) From the cops to the whores in the city lights Running from the end of the line Like the weary ones who came before ya Try for a taste of euphoria Euphoria
(verse 4) Lover don’t wear my patience thin The apple’s ripe to bite like Summer skin Open wide the palace doors Troubles lie no more beside Euphoria Euphoria
(verse 1) Stamp out this fire to dust Take what you must The rest is all mine Ooo cuz I can’t take away What I didn’t say I’m gonna leave it all behind
(pre-chorus1) Stars collide and burst to life tonight
(chorus) You can take all the sun away Just because Burn this page of the past away Cuz you can’t take the one The one that I love
(verse 2) In broken mirrors I’ve seen I’ve seen a face that looks nothing like me Ooo you can change the light You can turn it all to black But you can’t change memories
(pre-chorus2) Silent tears fall from the sky tonight
(repeat chorus)
(bridge) I can see, just what’s in front of me here And I can’t explain so I won’t lose No I won’t lose what I’ve gained no no
(verse1) When you said to me That life can turn this time Were you wondering If I would still be blind
(pre-chorus) But I can see you there
(chorus) Weren’t you gonna talk to me that day, weren’t you gonna tell me of a better way Weren’t you gonna take me to that place, and let it all fall back in space Cuz everything that we saw through, will somehow still come back to you Won’t you talk to me, talk to me that way

Chorus Ooo wee ooo You’re Miss California now Ooo wee ooo You’re Miss California now
2. my friends they say I must be dreamin I gotta be right out of my mind They don’t believe that Miss California Used to be that girl of mine
Chorus
Bridge And I’ll walk around this block Incase she ever comes back to me I could call her up today But I know they would just say she’s busy If we could rewind She’d still be mine I’m waitin here for you
(verse 1) All the streets are paved with platinum All the lights are made of sparkling gold And this building’s built from diamonds I’m so glad to call it my home What a life that I am living Just a few years I’ve been out of school Nothing left beyond my reach and I’ve at last the crowning jewel and

(pre-chorus 2) And they love those pretty eyes But I see the tears behind
(repeat chorus)

(verse 1) I knew a boy so long ago He had a smile he never showed
(pre-chorus) And I don’t know why reasons he’d hide Such a bright sparkle
(verse 2) We had a place to run to Away from the world that no one knew
(pre-chorus) And I don’t know why he never said bye But I know that he’d tell me
(chorus) Oh I fell so fast and never had a chance This hour glass is over now my sand has fallen Oh I fell so fast, I wish the time could last But now it’s gone
(verse 3) And looking down, I see it now All the right hearts in a world gone wrong
(pre-chorus) And now I know why, and soon we can fly Away with the angels
(repeat chorus)
(bridge) One day you’ll see, some day we’ll be Back home, I’ll meet you there
(chorus) Oh I fell so fast and never had a chance This hour glass, is over now my sand has fallen down Oh I fell so fast, I wish the time could last But now it’s gone, someday soon I’ll be with you
(verse 1) Maybe someday I’ll miss you, I do not know I’m finally moving on forward again Back in control Cuz there’s no time to be living out in the past In a time when we felt so sure this love would last
(pre-chorus) But these nights I spend so restless The memories start helpless fire It’s tearing apart my soul now
(chorus) Burn it down, burn it to the ground Cuz I don’t wanna see you there Not a trace, nothing left to face) Cuz I don’t wanna even care
(verse 2) Maybe someday I’ll leave you, out of my heart I never knew you were hiding below, the deepest part And if I stand on my feet now and walk away Would I find all my freedom baby or would you stay (pre-chorus) Cuz these nights I spend so restless The memories start helpless fire It’s tearing apart my soul now (repeat chorus) (bridge) All I see all I see in my dreams are your eyes they won’t go away So I lie and I lie and I cry hoping one day I will be saved And all these nights would fade away I’d throw them out like wasted dreams Give me the strength so I can face a new day (repeat chorus 2x) Maybe someday I’ll miss you, I do not know
(verse 1) I thought that you were craving me That was my first philosophy Until I got the chance to see The way you treated me
Illusion couldn’t replicate The love I thought we’d really feel The magic never seemed to change To something real
(pre-chorus 1) When you were cold, I changed the weather When I broke, you’d turn and walk away
(chorus) I never shoulda let you in I never shoulda let you know The dream you held over me Took all control I wish I had the strength to leave and I wish I had the will to go But somehow I still believed And took that road I should have known But I followed, followed, followed
(verse 2) You led me with your subtle charm Your promises, your camouflage You took complete advantage of My blind faith
(pre-chorus 2) You touched me, and said it’s forever I shattered, you looked the other way
(repeat chorus)
(bridge) But I followed, followed, followed Wherever you would lead I swallowed, swallowed, swallowed Whatever lies you’d feed I don’t know, don’t know, don’t know Just how this cloud came over me
(verse 3) I thought that you were craving me That was my first philosophy Until I got the chance to see I was so blind
(repeat chorus) I’d ruunnn, anywhere you’d tell me to I’d ruunnn, into folded arms But somehow I still believed And took that road I should have known But I followed, followed, followed (x3)
(verse 1) Hey where you goin’? It’s 6am Where you goin’? Nowhere to go, swagger bones Someone’s goin’ home alone
(chorus) She sleeps in clouds Far, fun, and warm The time is always now It’s what she’s sad about Time
(verse 2) Same city walk, ‘round the block Goin’ home Smile and say goodbye, it’s one more night Living in a pill box
(repeat chorus)
(bridge) Do ya know me? You don’t know me Every day any way, yah you knew me When your lonely, we’re all lonely Take the leap go ahead, someone’s coming home
