Secret Weapon

You've always had some trouble with authority
And that's the way that growing up's supposed to be
But you can make it through
You gotta believe
You are your own
Secret weapon
It's all up to you
To come out swinging
It's all up to you
Take back the stolen years
The truth will set you free
Don't lay down and lie
Shut down the fallacies
Throw all of your fears into the sea
You are your own
Secret weapon
It's all up to you
To come out swinging
It's all up to you
So call all your cars
And take to the streets
Raise up your voice and sing
You can't change the past
'Cause nothing will last
Embrace what tomorrow brings
You can't change the past
You are your own
Secret weapon
It's all up to you
To come out swinging
It's all up to you
All up to you

All Of It

I'm gonna save my time
And spend it all on you
I'm gonna take this life
And make it here with you
And if you find yourself
In the middle of a bad storm
Just know that I'll be there
To keep your bed warm
How much of your love
How much of your love, all of it
How much of your love
Do you think I need? All of it
When you feel your blood temp rise
Hot under your skin
That salty sting in your eyes
You always take it on the chin
Well I got news for you
That's all gonna change
You've paid your dues
It's time to turn the page
How much of your love
How much of your love, all of it
How much of your love
Do you think I need? All of it
If our house of cards falls down
And we never make it out alive
If our trains collide or run
Off the tracks know that I'm fighting to get back
How much of your love
How much of your love, all of it
How much of your love
Do you think I need? All of it
I'm gonna save my time
And spend it all on you
I'm gonna take this life
And make it here with you

Middlename

Emotion, is my middle name
I lay in bed and listen to the rain
Put happy thoughts in to my head
But I find instead the hurting words you said
Why won't you believe me
When I tell you the things that I see?
And I'll still see you tomorrow
At the show
It's been a long winded, long time
I wish I'd never met you
I wish I could forget you
And what you said
You're directing your complaints to me
I should walk away, I could easily
Never hear a word you say
I'm not your robot or your slave
I won't behave, I'm not your toy
Go on go bury me with self-righteousness
I confess, I'm just a boy
Why won't you believe me
When I tell you the things that I see?
And I'll still see you tomorrow
At the show
It's been along winded, long time
I wish I'd never met you
I wish I could forget you
And what you said
You're directing your complaints to me
I should walk away, I could easily
Never hear a word you say
Why won't you believe me
When I tell you the things that I see?
And I'll still see you tomorrow
At the show

Cold And All Alone
02:02

I know I'm mean but I'm real sorry
I didn't mean to make you cry
I feel so bad by then it's too late
You're hurt, I'm mad, is this goodbye?
I know I'm mean but I'm real sorry
I didn't mean to make you cry
I feel so bad by then it's too late
You're hurt, I'm mad, is this goodbye?
I've dug down far too deep now
I've dug down far I'm losing sleep
You know it's hard you know I'm trying
To understand, to do what's right
I don't like to see you crying
I don't like it when we fight
I've dug down far too deep now
I've dug down deep I'm losing
Cold and all alone
Out there on your own
Cold and all alone
Living on your own
I've dug down far too deep now
I've dug down far I'm losing sleep

Everything Sucks
02:37

All I ever needed
Was to eat popcorn with you
Come on over, watch the late show
Stay up talking until two
Today's the day you're leaving
And tomorrow you'll be gone
You're in my heart and on my mind
I will bring you along
Everything sucks when you're gone
Everything sucks when you're gone
I dream of our reunion
Makes me crazy just to think
How so very far away you are
My hope begins to sink
Today's the day you're leaving
And tomorrow you'll be gone
You're in my heart and on my mind
I will bring you along
Everything sucks when you're gone
Everything sucks when you're gone
It's not okay
I made dinner here for two
And it's not okay
I've got candles lit for you
And it's not okay
I've got your favorite records out
And it's not okay
You should already be in route, to me
Today's the day you're leaving
And tomorrow you'll be gone
You're in my heart and on my mind
I will bring you along
Everything sucks when you're gone
Everything sucks when you're gone
I want you, I need you
Everything sucks when you're gone

Educated Guess
01:46
|

|
Everything's gotten so complicated
Now you're older, now you're jaded
You despise what you used to love
Cursing everything under the sky above
When you think back does it ever make you cry?
Like it does me with the tears all in my eyes
Crying, driving in my car
Looking back on my life so far
All the things that you believe in
Lies all lies they've been deceiving
You, deceiving me, deceiving you
When we were young we were told so many times
Prepare for your future 'cause it won't be easy
They never did tell us to enjoy life, here it is
Because before you know it life has passed you by
Everything's gotten so complicated
Now you're older, now you're jaded
You despise what you used to love
Cursing everything under the sky above
All the things that you believe in
Lies all lies they've been deceiving
You, deceiving me, deceiving you
All the time you have invested
Wasted time not to be trusted
Washed away from you, away from me
They've been deceiving, you deceiving me

My girl hates the I.R.A
It's true she's just a fantasy
Don't know her, she don't know me
We'd make a perfect family
Nothing in this world
Could be better
Than falling in love with her
She'd write me the most beautiful of songs
1, 2, 3 go
My girl hates the I.R.A
It's true she's just a fantasy
Don't know her, she don't know me
We'd make a perfect family
Nothing in this world
Could be better
Than falling in love with her
She'd write me the most beautiful of songs

Rolling Strong
02:17

3 AM on a Monday, rolling strong
The road gets crazy hazy
When you've been on it too long
Rolling in this big-ass van
Trying to get some more bass blasting
Cause all we want is a Friday night
That will treat us right
And if we don't feel like we've got it right
There's always next weekend
There's no giving up, no going home
We'll be here till the end, we're pressing on
Probably should have hatched a plan
But that's not how we're livin'
We're still rolling strong
At least we're living
We're still rolling on
4 AM on a Thursday, I need sleep
Been pulling these all-nighters all damn week
Rolling in this big-ass van
Trying to get some more bass blasting
Cause all we want is a Friday night
That will treat us right
And if we don't feel like we've got it right
There's always next weekend
All we need is a place to crash
In a big-ass pad, with a little cash
And the vibe's just right
It makes me happy, I'm so happy

My Mistake
02:29
|
|||
|
I broke everything we had
There's no fixing what went bad
So many fatal mistakes
I broke every single rule
And I don't think they've made a tool
To fix all my mistakes
When I said good bye
And brought a tear to your eye
That was my mistake
When I told you to go
Cause I just didn't know
That was my mistake
I broke down inside my mind
I thought that I was doing fine
I'm so hard on myself
I broke everything I built
And now I'm living with the guilt
At least I have my health
When I said good bye
And brought a tear to your eye
That was my mistake
When I told you to go
Cause I just didn't know
That was my mistake
Time will heal, bruises fade
Life will change the plans we've made
If we face the truth and be our best
There's no need to worry about the rest
When I said good bye
And brought a tear to your eye
That was my mistake
When I told you to go
Cause I just didn't know
That was my mistake
That was my mistake

Tomorrow Is Another Day
03:32
|

|
I don't want to
Let my life fly by
Do you ever stop,
Stop to wonder why?
And time flies by
When everything is ok
It just turns out that
Life ain't that way
Big decisions overwhelm me
And I know nothing's free
When I don't think of
Think about much
People die and
We don't know why
I could use some understanding
Human contact, sign that contract
I don't want to let my life fly by
Did you ever stop to wonder why
Ever stop to wonder, wonder why
And time stands still
When no one understands you
When you don't quite
Understand yourself
But just know this that god is faithful
Even if you don't have faith yourself
There's nothing quite like being sure of
What's inside your heart
It's mostly simple but not so easy
To know just where to start
I don't want to let my life fly by
Did you ever stop to wonder why
Ever stop to wonder, wonder why
Today didn't have to be this way
Tomorrow is another day
Another chance to make things right
A chance to make sense of last night
Today didn't have to be this way
Tomorrow is another day
Another chance to make things right
A chance to fully live your life
Only if you want to, if you want to
If you want to, you don't want to
You don't want to, you don't want to

Heard That Sound
03:28
|
|||
|
Without a window to see through
I did my time, in here without you
Slept on the floor down in the LBC (Long Beach California)
Meet me back home under the marquee
It seems like misery loves misery
My favorite songs they keep me company
So many memories come down to this
I maybe be lost but I'm not hopeless
I heard that sound a mile away
I heard that sound a mile away
All those things I wish that I could say
I heard that sound a mile away
A mile away
Came in like static off the tv
This kinda thing never goes easy
I meant to tell you but you were gone
I tried to get it right, I got it all wrong
I heard that sound a mile away
I heard that sound a mile away
All those things I wish that I could say
I heard that sound a mile away
A mile away
Sat outside the show
With nowhere else
Nowhere else to go
Doors shut, can't see
It sure does sound
Good to me!
I heard that sound a mile away
I heard that sound a mile away
All those things I wish that I could say
I heard that sound a mile away
A mile away

Not a lot right now makes sense to me
And I won't go quietly
Not a lot right now makes sense to me
And I won't sit patiently
I'm gonna chase my dreams
And catch up to them
I'm gonna find you somehow
Someway
Somewhere
Someday
First day of the rest of our lives
I miss you already
Last time I saw that look in your eyes
I miss you already
First day of the rest of our lives
I miss you already
The last time I'll see that look in your eyes
I miss you already
I don't wanna spend
The rest of my life alone
Where's life taking me
I don't wanna spend
The rest of my life alone
Always traveling
I'm gonna chase my dreams
And catch up to them
I'm gonna find you somehow
Someway
Somewhere
Someday
First day of the rest of our lives
I miss you already
Last time I saw that look in your eyes
I miss you already
First day of the rest of our lives
I miss you already
The last time I'll see that look in your eyes
I miss you already
I wanna love my job
I wanna love my life
But most of all
I wanna fall in love
First day of the rest of our lives
I miss you already
Last time I saw that look in your eyes
I miss you already

Doing Time
02:05
|

|
I remember times I had
Some were happy, some were sad
Memories, me and my partners in crime
Throwing up a thousand times
I got through it, I feel fine
I went to school and I did my time
In a sense I'm out in a sense I'm free
To do what I want to be
Fun was cartoons Saturdays
Fun was staying up past eight
Lame was trying to fit in
Lame was the wrong crowd let me in
I got through it, I feel fine
I went to school and did my time
In a sense I'm out in a sense I'm free
To do what I want to be
Yeah you gotta stick together
With who you are, and who you know
You gotta remember
Where you've been and where you wanna go
I never did homework after school
Did all the things I thought were cool
Went out every Friday night
I still do and I'm alright

Let's Ride
03:45
|
|||
|
About the time that I turned fourteen
I got a job doing landscaping
Those days were long and my old boss was mean
Bout the time that I turned sixteen
I got a car and no place to be
I'd fill up the tank and drive out to the sea
The Rockies ain't too far from here
If we drive all night
The cold air will do you well
In the mountain morning light
So, let's ride
Let's ride on through the rain
Come on and take me anywhere
That you wanna be
So, let's ride
By the time that I turned nineteen
I'd seen so much, yet I was still green
It's taken me a time or two
To learn the things I watched you do for me
There I was at twenty-nine
I can't believe I'm still alive
Though it was never easy, yeah
You and me were born to survive
The Rockies ain't too far from here
If we drive all night
The cold air will do you well
In the mountain morning light
So, let's ride
That was my escape
A way to change the tape
That was playing, that was playing in my head
The Rockies ain't too far from here
If we drive all night
The cold air will do you well
In the mountain morning light
So, let's ride
Let's ride on through the rain
Come on and take me anywhere
That you wanna be
Let's ride, Let's ride
Let's follow the skyline
And when we make it to the other side
We'll find all the bluest skies

Southbound
02:31
|

|
It's all the same
Same old town with a different name
That's fine by me
There's only one place that I wanna be
Southbound on I-5
Windows down and music on the stereo
I'm drivin' and I'm dreamin'
There's no place I'd rather go
Staring at white lines
On the side of the road
Been on the road awhile
I gotta get back to a place with style
Hang out, havin' fun
I gotta get back to the beach in the sun
Southbound on I-5
Windows down and music on the stereo
I'm drivin' and I'm dreamin'
There's no place I'd rather go
Playing every night
With the occasional fight

Well he's a chick magnet, if ya know what I mean
The way the girlies just go to him
Well ya should've seen
The guy yeah, he's got style and it's plain to see
Smooth shoes and cool tattoos
Hair pomped as tight as can be
He ain't got a girlfriend
No one to sing this song to
He's gonna settle down
If he meets that special girl soon
He knows just what to do
When it comes to the girls
He writes them poetry
And he picks them flowers
He knows just what to say when it
Comes to the ladies
Knows how to make a girl smile
How to drive a girl crazy
He ain't got a girlfriend
No one tosing this song to
He's gonna settle down
If he meets that special girl soon
Chick magnet, yeah!

Responsibility
03:52

|
I don't want this responsibility
And don't use me, because I don't agree
Why lie, do or die?
Why lie, do or...
Responsibility, what's that?
Responsibility, not quite yet
Responsibility, what's that?
I don't want to think about it
We'd be better off without it
You think I'm so simplistic
I'm onto you and your tricks
Why lie, do or die?
Why lie, do or...
Responsibility, what's that?
Responsibility, not quite yet
Responsibility, what's that?
I don't want to think about it
We'd be better off without it
I'm still young and I'd like to stay that way
'Cause growing up won't make everything okay
I'm still young and I'd like to stay that way
I've got a voice and I've got a lot to say
I've got a lot to say
Responsibility, what's that?
Responsibility, not quite yet
Responsibility, what's that?
I don't want to think about it
We'd be better off without it
I don't want to think about it

For Always
03:22
|

|
If we help each other out along the way
Then maybe everything will be okay
Who decides if you'll succeed?
Who decides those things
You want and need?
Looking back on all these years
All the smiles and all the tears
I never want those memories to fade
What we have done what can we do?
We search our whole life for the truth
For always and always and always
I know sometimes we'll disagree
But no one here can absolutely see
We're just learning as we go
There's some things in this world
We just don't know
Looking back on all these years
All the smiles and all the tears
I never want those memories to fade
What we have done what can we do?
We search our whole life for the truth
For always and always and always
Honestly, not interested?

Friday Tonight
03:18

How did we make it this far?
How did we learn to stay alive?
How did my head not separate
My body from my mind?
How did the planets get aligned?
How is it every single time
I'm in the kitchen
You're in the kitchen
In the goddamn refrigerator?
I've always loved that line
I say it every time like tonight
It's Friday tonight
It ends with a fight
It's Friday tonight
Friday tonight
How old would you be
If you forgot your birthday?
How would you change your life
If you could never die?
Would you do good or do crime?
How is it every single time
I'm in the kitchen
You're in the kitchen
In the goddamn refrigerator?
I've always loved that line
I say it every time like tonight
It's Friday tonight
It ends with a fight
It's Friday tonight
Friday tonight
How crazy would you be?
How crazy would you go?
If you had everything
Then lost it in the flow?
You win some, you lost some
But you live, you live to fight another day
I've always loved that line
I say it every time like tonight
It's Friday tonight
It ends with a fight
It's Friday tonight
Friday tonight

My Life Story
03:08
|
|||
|
I was on my way
To be with you today
And you know it's true
Because I wouldn't lie to you
First my car broke down
So then I had to hitch a ride
I was almost there
When the motor died
Don't hate me forever
I'm better late than never
I failed you, I'm sorry
That's simply my life story
I know it's much too late
To take you on a date
I know that it's no use
But this is my excuse
I was in a plane
And it was falling from the sky
I knew I had to survive
So I could say goodbye
Don't hate me forever
I'm better late than never
I failed you, I'm sorry
That's simply my life story
You change your mind
Like I change the time
That I was gonna call you
Or say I was about to
You change your mind
Like I change the time
I said that I would be there
But then I didn't have a thing to wear
Don't hate me forever
I'm better late than never
I failed you, I'm sorry
That's simply my life story
My life story

Walking Bye
01:13

I ask myself the question
What is wrong with me?
Can't figure what it is
Or why it's never me they want
W when will my turn come about
And when will justice see me?
Why all these stupid questions?
They never help me
You never notice me
You never seem to see
When I'm walking, walking bye
You never ever say, Hi
I don't know nobody
That I don't want to know
But I'd sure like to know you
And I'd like to show you
How the way I am
And things that matter much to me
But oh how I say I am
It's usually how those things don't seem
those things don't seem
You never notice me
You never seem to see
When I'm walking, walking bye
You never ever say, Hi
I don't know nobody
That I don't want to know
But I'd sure like to know you
And I'd like to show you
How the way I am
And things that matter much to me
But oh how I say I am
It's usually how those things don't seem
You never notice me
You never seem to see
When I'm walking, walking bye
You never ever say, Hi
