She Wants to Destroy Me
03:41

I wish I could understand you, girl
You and your wicked ways
Just when I think that we got something goin on
You're freakin out on me
Last night we did it on the kitchen counter
You know I love it when you throw me down
But we can never have a happy ending
You know I hate it when you throw me out
Oh, I could never find a piece like this again
Is it worth it?
I'm such a mess, baby, you know you drive me crazy too
You know it, you know it's true
When we get dressed up to hit the bar
Feels like a holiday
At 2am you wanna hit me with your car
In an alcoholic haze
Using your words like a gun to mow me down
You're so hot when you're mad
Just admit you wanna pin me to the ground
'Cause I'm the best you ever had
I must be insane to be taking this abuse
But I know I've got good reason
I don't need a good excuse
When you tell me that you want me
There's no way I could refuse
I swear I'm not confused

Battle Cry
03:22
|
|||
I'm under pressure, I've been locked in here too long
Gotta make my fantasies real now
Sometimes I wonder if I'm working at a dead end job
Just spinning my wheels, just spinning my wheels
I know I'm gonna be ok
'Cause everyone's allowed to feel bad on a nice day
Remember why you're here, remember who you are
Never ever lose the reason what you're doing this for
I've been sayin this for a long time, don't let life pass you by
Dream a little dream and take it to the world
Maybe I should take my own advice and not get left behind
Hands into the sky and scream your battle cry
I'm talkin, don't change the station yet
Need time to get this into your head
You're gonna make mistakes along the way
You'll think you're spinning your wheels, just spinning your wheels
I promise that you'll be ok
'Cause no one wants to see you feeling bad on a nice day
You know why you're here, you're gonna be a star
Gonna show 'em what it takes to really make it this far

Take It Easy
03:13
|

She started looking for love in all the wrong places
She was hittin the bars and she was goin so hard
and it was all the same faces
Her friends were getting engaged and she was hating her age
She was sick and tired of not ever being center stage
She's gotta make it happen 'cause the clock is ticking down
The pressure from her parents and her friends, she's gonna drown
You're movin too fast, Slow down, girl
You're moving too fast, slow down
You gotta take your time and slow down, girl
You're moving too fast, slow down
Take it easy, take it easy
I never understood the rush, the fear of never falling in love
I supposed that I will find her soon enough
The one that makes me feel crazy enough to get married
I'm not the one in the crowd, see what the fuss is about
I'm waiting on something real
Not gonna change up my ways for christianity's sake
Why can't we do it our own way?
Oh, you gotta let it go before it consumes you
Because you never know where the love will bloom
Life is gonna pass you by, do something for yourself
Someone else is out there looking for you
So she was looking for love in all the wrong places
She was hittin the bars and she was goin so hard
and it was still the same faces
Her friends were getting engaged and she was hating her age
She was sick and tired of not ever being center stage
She's gotta make it happen 'cause the clock is ticking down
The pressure from her parents and her friends, she's gonna drown

No Good
03:28
|
|||
I remember the days so young and green
I was looking for romance and someone to laugh with
You were the new girl on the scene
I was a shy boy but you paid attention
It took a while to figure out
That I was your drug and you were addicted
Doin your best to keep me down
But not anymore
How did I let it get this far?
I was in control till you came along
I'm picking up the pieces from the floor
I don't wanna see your face for the rest of my days
Took your poison to the head
19 years old, I feel half dead
Give me a reason not to turn around
Not to leave you here for good
Just know there's nothing you could ever say
Baby, we're done, you're just no good
We got involved so easily
I was a nice boy but you were just crazy
You never let up, stop squeezing me
The honeymoon's over, baby
Just wanted a girl to make me smile
When you start drinking, you get wild
Calling the cops at 4am
Now baby im asking
Don't know how I stuck around this long
Can't take all of these arguments
I'm ragin, ragin
We got some issues and it feels so wrong
Ya baby I just don't know

Run
03:20
|
|||
I've had enough
I gotta get away from here
and put these people in my rearview mirror
The stress is killing me with every little shockwave
the street is cracking underneath
She's got a problem with the way I talk and
I'm packing everything I need
No! I'm not gonna let this happen no more
You know you gotta runaway
Oh, I gotta know what I am meant for
You know you gotta runaway
No! I I gotta get away from this town
You know you gotta run away
Oh! Sick of the same old roads I've been down
You know you gotta run away
My ascension from the choices that I've made
Pre-hypertension in a world gone mad
The nervous system serves as such a dead giveaway
And I have given all I have
You think it's easy and it's just a vacation
I'm writing my own epitaph
I can't take it
I will break soon
I can't stop dreaming
I will let them down

Things We Don't Mean
03:10
|
|||
I know sometimes I don't say the right things
And I know sometimes it seems I'm not listening
Every time that I'm out of town, you're gettin mad 'cause I'm not around
And I get that nasty phone call and here we go again
If you want to, we can go there
I'll go down swingin, not afraid to make a scene
Let's make one thing clear, this will be over soon
Say what you gotta say, just don't say things we don't mean
I need to do the things I have to
Just to make a living and pay the bills
Preoccupied with the way I groove, never stoppin, always on the move
because no one ever made it standing still
We're always talking a lot about
How we always seem to bottom out
You will never let me live this down

Instigator
03:05
|
|||
Lately I've been hearing things, disturbing things that you've been doin
And I did not set this up for nothing just to see it ruined
You came along after the fact, I thought you always had my back
Now I see that your a flake and you manipulate and take
What's not rightfully yours, it's too late, and so I'm closing the door
Spoken like a token instigator and I'm callin you out
Talk too much and then you always gotta turn it around
Keep on tryin, I ain't buyin, I know what you're about
Better watch it 'cause you're toxic and I'm flushin you out
We were supposed to be a team and I know it's done
I can't believe I was deceived, you think you know someone
Cause I just imagine what might happen if I'd let you stay
Just looking out for my family and I won't let you break
What's not rightfully yours, it's too late, and so I'm closing the door

Beautiful Day
03:21
|
|||
It's a beautiful day, feelin' the sunshine on my face
It's a beautiful day and I've got some time to waste
On this beautiful day, I hope it's just like this tomorrow
A beautiful day, oh yeah
I'm gonna wake up and get myself a cup of coffee
Open the windows and the doors
Baby, let's go outside, I can feel the air, it's warm
Let's go for a long ride, the speakers are blaring
Oh so here we are walking through the park
Let's lay down this blanket and listen to the birds sing
It's so nice to be outside, we can watch the sun go down
Burnin that daylight while we're making out
I'm not gonna stay inside, 'cause anytime that I could die
And I just wanna live
I wanna take you by the hand and love you like I know I can
Show you who I am

When They Told Me
02:32
|
|||
When they told me that you had away
There was nothing I could do to keep you here
I was standing on a roof top of a hospital in Baltimore
Losing my religion and my youth
I thought I'd never love again
And I did not even care to see my friends
How would I ever smile again?
This depression is a monster but I'm still alive
See the light of day
When they told me that I had to let you go
Words could not describe my feelings, you will never know
Standing on a roof top of a hospital in Baltimore
Losing my religion and my youth

Lost at Sea
02:47
|
|||
I wish you were here
You would make it all so clear
I would love to spend my life with you
If you were next to me
I would be so happy
Nothing in this world compares to you
I am lost at sea
The tidal waves won't let me be
But I could tread forever
If you'll have me
My ship has sank to the ocean floor
But I don't need that boat no more
We could live together wherever
We wash ashore
I am such a fool
Thinking I'm worthy of you
I will always be a wallflower
Would you give me a chance
If I asked you for this dance?
I might take a chance to win your heart

Outta My Mind
02:21
|
|||
I'm goin outta my mind
I think I really mean it this time
I'm sick of standing at the back of the line
I'm goin outta my mind
I wanna quit my job so bad, can't wait till that last day
I wanna smash the windows with the prices that I've paid
Just tell me one more that you know this is gonna pay off
'Cause I've been stretching myself so long that my arms just might break off
I eat, sleep and bleed this dream and some days it feels for not
The fakes in the magazines just don't know what they got
But nothing's gonna deter me, this is the path I have chosen
I'll never settle for less than perfect, everyone around me know's it

A Lesson in Gravity
02:58
|
|||
I can't believe I'm standing here
I thought my world's ending was near
I guess I was wrong about that
'Cause life goes on
I've learned that nothing's set in stone
I've got a family of my own
I keep my head up for them 'cause life goes on
No one's gonna save me, no one's gonna overtake me
Nothing to prove and I got so much to lose
But I'll get through, i'll get through
I've felt the weight of gravity
I'm only who I have to be
The moment arrives so fast and then it's gone
I'm just a stranger in this town
Someone is up 'cause someone's down
You can envy what others have but then it's gone
We could stand here all night
I could tell you it will be alright
until you see first hand, you just won't understand

Wasting Away
03:07
|
|||
I spent a lifetime wasted, wasting away
The memories fade, wasted, facing the day
Life on the road gets hazy
I think my girlfriend hates me
'Cause she don't know how to rock a show
Looking through all the phases
There and gone, no traces
The back and forth and the highs and lows
The Rendezvous every Thursday
Friday was the worst day
The hangover lasts much longer now
How we loved it, the shots kept coming
The party was a part of our lives
The beautiful girls, free drinks, we just enjoyed the ride
We never knew where we were going
Sometimes I sit and wonder how we made it here alive
Worldwide social, can you hear me calling you?
You're the reason we kept this dream alive

Morning Sunlight
03:05
|
|||
Oh baby, I'm coming home tonight
And I've missed you for the longest time
Sleep tight, I will be there in the morning sunlight
Take all of me, then I'll beg for more
You're all I need, the one I adore
Girl, you know I love you
I'm always thinking of you
I know you're waiting for me
Oh baby, the things I'll do to you
I'm wanting to locked up in your room
All night where we'll sleep till the morning sunlight
Goodbye, lonely, now you got me to yourself
Takin' it slowly, till you grab me by the belt
Until next time, 'cause I'm leaving in the morning sunlight
Take all of me, then I'll beg for more
You're all I need, the one I adore
Girl, you know I love you
I'm always thinking of you
Promise you'll still wait for me
