The Rocket Summer

"So Far Away"

Try until you finally say, you're watching this whole town,
You're making my heart bleed, it shows it by your frown!
And I'm already sure that my name you will miss and I won't be the same

It's time to wake from bed,
I'm choking on your sick city ways.
I'm letting my seat slip away,
Knowing there will be another day... right?

Now, it's time,
Time just to clear my mind,
It's the same, same old way back until you come...

You're so far away, you're so far away back from this side of me.
(So far away)
You're so far away you're so far away... you don't see this side of me.

Through the days I wept 'cause I don't know myself,
Through the days I wept 'cause I don't know myself,
Through these moments I'll keep lying to these lies,
So from here we'll make another live
To make you there to make you mine.

Time, it kills me everyday, just asking you to stay,
Just trying to find my way, it happens everyday,
I'm reaching to the stars, I'm reaching to the sky,
My mind it fades away.

I'm sick today for her,
I'm choking on your sick stupid ways.
I'm letting my seat slip away,
Knowing there will be another day... right?

Now it's time,
I've come just to clear my mind
The same, same old way back until you come

You're so far away, you're so far away back from this side of me.
(So far away)
You're so far away, you're so far away... you don't see this side of me.

Through the days I wept 'cause I don't know myself,
Through the days I wept 'cause I don't know myself,
Through these moments I'll keep lying to these lies,
So from here we'll make another live
To make you there to make you mine.
Alright

"My Typical Angel"

That's okay I don't care
I can't remember what happened there

what you see there had to be okay
See, it's not so bad when you left, you left me sad, but my heart is growing back
things just might get better, in fact I bet in no time soon
I will be sad so don't come back acting sad
Did you care yeah?

Today I'm alone and now I know that I'll be fine even without you by my side
but I can't believe you left me there 'I love you'
is what you said the day before you packed your things and left

gaze into the days

what you see there had to be okay
See, it's not so bad when your gone you left me sad
But my heart is growing back
Things just might get better, in fact I bet, in no time soon
I will be sad so don't come back acting sad did you care

I will never say I want you again
I will never wait
so I suggest you stay away
Stay away

"Teenage Love Rock"

I saw you there,
I Smiled at you you didn't care.
It's ok I'll get you soon,
After this sweet day I'll be with you.
Will it fill you up inside,
My loving kindness,your open mind.
You should have said hello.
And when you see me there waiting,
you'll wonder where you have been.
I'll sit just right here sweetheart,
and I'll be here to the end.

The silence breaks,
you're always on my mind.
When I feel your gentle smile,
I see you with another guy.
I feel so unloved,
Without you next to me
but when I'm with you...
it feels like electricity.

I saw you there,
I winked at you, you seemed to care.
It's happening, I'm leading her to be,
become just like me.
I know we're different in some ways,
but forget that now and run away.
I see you everyday, i know,
good for me, yeah I love you so,
And when you see me there waiting,
you'll wonder where you have been.
I'll say it's OK darlin',
now lets just run away girlfriend.

The silence breaks,
you're always on my mind.
When I feel your gentle smile,
I see you with another guy.
I feel so unloved,
without you next to me
but when I'm with you...
it feels like electricity.

The silence breaks,
you're always on my mind.
When I feel your gentle smile,
I see you with another guy.
I feel so unloved,
without you next to me
but when I'm with you...
it feels like ohh

It's gonna be like this some day,
you and me we're gonna run away,
It's gonna be like this some day,
you and me we're gonna run away,
It's gonna be that way,
we're gonna run away,
it's gonna be that way,
someday...

"That's What She Said"

So we should go and see the sun
And look around
It always seems better in towns, the towns we know

It's time to go and hit the road
I'll make a bet:
I always do better when, when you're at the show

See you there one more time and going back
It's like seeing you there for the first time I swear
See I have to leave, some things in life just have to be
So I'm taking my things and running
But I ain't gonna leave you there

"So you're back so soon again?", that's what she said.
"You make my world spin again. I can't, I can't just let you go."
"So you've come for me again?", that's what she said.
"Without you girl I'm better dead. I'd do anything for you."

What makes this hard for me? Without you that's just not complete.
You shine so bright you're what I see.
Just try coming once again. Make rounds, make memories again.
I try to run, try to forget the one. But you still keep shining, shining bright like the sun.

See you there one more time and going back
It's like seeing you there for the first time I swear
See I have to leave, some things in life just have to be
So I'm taking my things and running
But I ain't gonna leave you there

"So you're back so soon again?", that's what she said.
"You make my world spin again. I can't, I can't just let you go."
"So you've come for me again? And I'm going back tonight", she said
"Will you come again? Back again."

You've gone again, too far. Just saying lay down your heart.
To watch me go to the stars. Just leave me there but you know I won't be there before.

"December Days"

Too bad,
Let's make it of what we have.
Life gets so hard without the best.
Can't send this down,
I'm sick of this life when it comes out of me...

How does it feel, you wanna know?
I'm so distraught,
I can't be left alone
Never, seems forever.
Days still take down in December.

See into this break,
And the memories here tell me,
Do they care, to care?
When will I lose this burden I wear?
And do they care, to care?

Get you back into my life,
Gotta get you.
Get you back into my life.
There's no way that I can do this right.
Gotta get you,
Get you back into my life,
Yeah...

How could this be a day to me?
You're nothing like a shame to me.
Regretful thoughts they break me,
Make me see, without you I can't be me.

See into your brown eyes,
Turn into your brown eyes.
See why your world is down,
And I don't make a sound.
I just wanna see you,
Just wanna be you,
Cause I don't wanna let you down...

See into this break,
And the memories here tell me,
Do they care, to care?
When will I lose this bruden I wear?
And tell me,
Do they care, to care?

Get you back into my life,
Gotta get you.
Get you back into my life.
There's no way that I can do this right.
Gotta get you,
Get you back into my life.

Please go to sleep,
And never mind the love.
I get the moment alone again,
Then you're here again.
Again.
Again.
Again.
Again...

"Cross My Heart"

Cross my heart, hope to die
I swear I won't say what happened that night
So starting today things are gonna be all right
Your best you tried, and yeah you did fine
No better than fine, perfect in my mind
In fact, I wish your heart was mine
And I can hear the memory in my ears
Back to the years and all those tears
But hear me when I say I'm glad we steered that way
Because now we're here

Do you want to get away? get in the car we can leave today
Do you want to celebrate our just made little holiday?
Cause now today is your day
All that stuff you used to take
I'm glad you threw all that away cause now you look so great
You never need to be afraid just know you went the right way

Because even though we never get things right
And it gets so old just saying we'll keep trying
It's mine to decide when I'll be alright

I know you're going crazy (crazy)
But happy is all that you make me (all you make me)
And now things are gonna get better baby
I know everything went wrong OK (OK)
But now it's time to get some better days (some better days)
Cause I don't want to keep acting this way

Cause man I know we never get things right
And it gets so old just saying we'll keep trying
But it's mine to decide when and if I'll be alright..
And that's just a thing that take time

So keep going till you know when it's time, when it's right
Keep showing yourself in that light
Cause back in school man that gets cruel
But one thing is true is that man now look at you
Your heart is big enough for two

Because I can hear the memories in my ears
Back to the years and all those tears
But hear me when I say I'm glad because we're here

I know you're going crazy (crazy)
But happy is all that you make me (you make me)
And now things are gonna get better baby
I know everything went wrong OK (OK)
But now it's time to get some better days (better days)
Cause I don't want to keep acting this way

Cause man I know we never get things right
And it gets so old just saying we'll keep trying
But it's mine to decide when and if I'll be alright..
And that's just a thing that take time

"Skies So Blue"

Whoa.....

Man I just saw something
I'm glad that you are here.
I got to start to thinking
And seeing things so clear.
Cause now how could I forget
What she left
What happened in November
Is what I needed.
And I'm sorry, that it shows
But life ain't so bad you know.

Now the skies such a sweet blue
You made this come true.
My heart feels so new, whoa...
Its now wonderful to
See beautiful views.
Like skies that are so blue, whoa, whoa!
I'll never leave us you know!

I turn it off for this
Looks like we got what we wished.
It snowed in Texas, but you missed (the 1st time since '86)
And I can't stop thinking of how wonderful this is.
And I'm sorry, I sound glad, but why always be so sad?

Now the skies such a sweet blue
You made this come true.
My heart feels so new, whoa...
Its now wonderful to
See beautiful views.
Like skies that are so blue, whoa, whoa!

Ba Ba Ba Ba....
Ba Ba Ba Ba....

And I know that sometimes oh I might feel alone, so broken, cold
Now I'll show that I know that

The skies such a sweet blue
You made this come true.
My heart feels so new, whoa...
Its now wonderful to
See beautiful views.
Like skies that are so blue, whoa, whoa!
I'll never leave us you know, whoa!

"This Is Me"

Everyday I wake up late.
Since I quit my day job I have been sane.
But responsibilities sure do remain, but I'll just let them wait.

Because I don't know what I am doing now,
And I wont try to act like it cuz I sure don't know how.
And I'll admit that I don't know, just where I'm going on this long and winding road
That's taking me to what will be my home.

So stare and see that this is me,
And I will be just what I need to believe
That something is what I'm gonna be.
And what you do is what you do and what I do needs to be true.
The things I do maybe need to be thought through,
But just remember what's right for me, might be not right for you.

Staring at this mirror and I'm wondering who you are.
Right now is a time for searching and I just wish I had a car
To drive a long distance and just think about the war,
And now life's got so much more.

Because I don't know what I am doing now,
And I wont try to act like it cuz I sure don't know how.
And I'll admit that I don't know, just where I'm going on this long and winding road
That's taking me to what will be my home.

So stare and see that this is me,
And I will be just what I need to believe
That something is what I'm gonna be.
And what you do is what you do,
And what I do needs to be true.
The things I do maybe need to be thought through...
But I know what I want to dok and I want it to be true.
And yeah I'd be the first to say that of course I'll listen to you,
But remember what's right for me, might be not right for you

"She's My Baby"

Work's been rough
Hear too much stuff like
"They don't get it so tough."
Its like I haven't heard that enough
Better luck next month
Here's how it sounds to be let down
After going round and round
You just step back and think "Wow."
I guess it's actually a silent sound...

But then there's she
And she's my baby
She's so good to me
She's my baby

Becoming lost is where I am at
So much time has passed
And I'm stuck trying to relive the past
And I can't go back
Will somebody just save me?
'Cause I'm growing up so fast
And yeah it ain't really a blast

Because I just dusted off some records that I bought at 14
Then I busted into tears 'cause I didn't believe
The melodies and memories
'Cause then I see
The fallen dreams

But then there's she
And she's my baby
She's so good to me.
She's my baby
(Yes you are, yes you are, yes you are, yes you are.)
She's my baby
She's so good to me
She's my baby

Woah; yeah you mean everything to me.

"Saturday"

Don't trying asking
Cause I never know what to say
Except just everything
A few minutes later in the day
How come everybody else seems so happy
And have intelligent things to say
Cause you know that isn't me
I think I'd be happy if it was a Saturday

And yeah if only it was Saturday, Saturday
Things would be better in every way, every way
And I would be ok

Cause then I would start
To try to find a way to say
Hey there you are
I need to find a way to be and sound smart
I need to find a way but man it's so hard
I need to think it's just not anything will do
I need to think this time
Cause I'm just dying for me and you
To be in phrase that I would always use
In the context like I belong to you

And yea if only it was Saturday, Saturday
Things would be better in every way, every way
And I would be ok
And yea if only it was Saturday, Saturday
Things would be better than was today, is today

I would surely say that
That I'd be here for you
And I hope that you'd be too
And I'll tell the truth
Say that I need you
Yeah I do
But I know you might not come
But I need you everywhere
Take a breath and close my eyes
And just think about this and say

I need you please to save me
I wanna be your baby
I wanna see you and me
Together this Saturday

And yea if only it was Saturday, Saturday
Things would be better in every way, every way
And I would be ok
And yeah if only it was Saturday, Saturday
Things would be better than was today, is today
And I would surely say
All the times I've been afraid
Well I'm gonna make it this Saturday

"That's So You"

It's a beautiful day
Now I'll be ok now that you're not away
Yesterday was a terrible day
But now that you're here I'm ok
Cause you don't know how much I, I need you
Please don't go
You're so wonderful
This I swear, this I know

[Chorus]
You, oh you, every single thing you do
I'm so proud of you
What you do
When you do the things you do
They're so you

So thanks for your help
You shine so bright
You are the star that's in my sky
And I am yours and you are mine

[Chorus]

I'm so proud of you
That's so you

"What We Hate, We Make"

Don't try to hide
The mistakes I made this time
But please try and listen
Cuz I'm breaking my heart tonight
So you can see what's inside
Cuz wherever you go, well that's where I'll go
I'd do so much I'll show but you won't know
So here's a song to show for the things I've blown
But I'm sorry so... that's the only way that I know

And all I've learned is
What we hate we make, what we hate we make
There's no time for hating but what we hate we make

Something is about to change
I can feel it in my heart today
And you know it's not the first time
But I bet it won't be the same
Cuz right now I'm at an all time low
So here's a song just so you won't go
Cuz that the only thing that I know

And I will start with a verse
Then a bridge, write a chorus
So we all can sing along
With everything we got
But between you and me this song would be
Written for us but I know that's not enough
To say I'm sorry

What we hate we make, what we hate we make
There's no time for hating but what we hate we make

And you will know what you will be
And yeah, you will know what you mean to me
Yeah you will know that truthfully
I am sorry.

"TV Family"

Just a calendar day (ba ba ba ba)
It's funny how things can stay the same
Or drastically change
Some things seem so close on some days but still so far away
Don't know the right things to do (ba ba ba ba)
In fact I don't have a clue sometime I feel like a tool
And I want to be truthfully true to you
And do all the things that you do
But when I hate everything about the mean things that I say
It feels like I mess up so much and I can only say
"i hate everything about my ways"
But you tell me I'm OK
And one day one day I know you'll say

"B I'm so glad you made it"
"oh well Jesus thank you so much for saying that"
Because the truth you know is that I have just been hating so many things I do
But now I realize forever that you're my friend
No matter what you will never leave me to fend
I don't know much but I know we will be
As happy as a 1950's TV family
Except times infinity

Two calendar days (ba ba ba ba)
And still my life is the same
And other people's have changed
I wonder what if I'm too late
All the time that I said I would just wait?
And yeah does anyone care
About us here or anywhere?
Well I just want to try and dare
To be there, to care 'cause I know- I know that's rare
But when I hate everything about the mean things that I say
It feels like I mess up so much and I can only say
"i hate everything about my ways"
But you tell me I'm OK
And one day one day I know you'll say

"B I'm so glad you made it"
"oh well Jesus thank you so much for saying that"
Because the truth you know is that I have just been hating so many things I do
But now I realize forever that you're my friend
No matter what you will never leave me to fend
I don't know much but I know we will be
As happy as a 1950's TV family
Except times infinity

A family that I will be in
A family - it's just not pretend
A family that I will be in, a family

I don't know much but I know we will be
Happy as a 1950's TV family..
Except times infinity
Just a calendar day.

"Movie Stars And Super Models"

How come my life ain't like this movie?
I should try to look some more like that.
And maybe then I could be a movie star,
And maybe then you'd always laugh at my jokes.
Cuz life would be just like this movie,
And I would never feel alone. In fact,
All the problems that I have would go away,
And I would forget how to feel sad.

Cuz this silver screen that I'm looking at
Is making me a little bored of my life cuz
Its not what I'm looking at,
Cuz this has so much more of excitement,
Thrills, and adventurous things in every life.
And a sparkle is the reflection in my eye.

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba.
If only the shows were as real as the glows
Then we'd never see the same,
But I guess we'll never know.
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba.
Well they showed it, and we bought it.
So you see it's not just me, its sweet - It's in the movie.

She wants a better body and some super model moves.
Cuz in her head she's always been the ugly one.
Well hey, we think we're ugly too.
And it's true that we will never know
All of the things that she could have known.
Well I wonder when she thought it was that she would win?
Cuz man she got so thin.

Every now and then she would start to pretend like she was a star and in the movies they're in.
But it's strange cuz it seems
There's never happy endings.
Is it make believe?

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba.
If only the shows were as real as the glows
Then we'd never see the same,
But I guess we'll never know.
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba.
Well they showed it, and we bought it.
So you see it's not just me, its sweet - It's in the movie.

"Move To The Other Side Of The Block"

So we try and try all of our lives
Working with such pride, making cash just to survive
As we race and grade and judge always
other folks mistakes makes us good to feel that way.

And don't you know, it never stops.
Try to please the world and beat the ticking clocks,
but I, I'm not letting it happen this time.

No, no, because they're rooting I'll fail, and rooting she'll bail,
they feel so secure when I'm in this jail, but I,
I'm not letting it happen this time

So I'll move to the other side of the block
so we wont ever have to stop
making the rounds, having the laughs
singing the sounds of relaxing,
and on the other side of the clock
the power switch will be turned off
and all will be well and time will stand still,
and I will be locked out from my jail.

"I Was So Alone"

Don't just don't sit down,
I'm wanting this to be
a super natural flood of life
and not just make believe.
Singing about what's real to me
Gasping for air, trying to breathe
while being pulled from beneath. (ah ah)
While sticking oh so hard to just stay alive,
treading over time,
while I am slowly dying
I take one last breath
and one last prayer to survive,
then the waves they break and
the air it hits my face
my lungs then fill with this new found grace
I swallowed the air, quick to awake
to such a beautiful day

I was so alone,
I was to myself,
thought I was on my way,
but I was missing you.
So make it oh,
break it out,
take this wherever you want,
and I wanna go
so just lead the way
on this train on which I roll.

Oh, oh...
No, no...
Yeah...
Oh, do, do...
Come on, come on, come on...

I was so alone,
I was to myself,
thought I was on my way,
but I was missing you!
So make it oh,
break it out,
take this wherever you want
and I wanna go...

Woah, woah...
Go, go...
Yeah

"Around The Clock"

Dance until we just can't,
Keep clapping our hands to the songs
And get dancing around to the joyful sound that the band plays
As his smiling face just shines away, it's moving through town as big as a train
April, May, June and July we'll hang outside
August and February all the time
Talking our way through March
Hanging out always 'til this starts
Over and over again, you promise that it won't end
So I will try to find the rhyme to thank you again

How I, I am not into the idea of living without you
And I, I am not into the idea of being without you
And no, this won't be a sad song
There's gonna be claps and singing along
'Cause sad song's about now well, that would just feel wrong

Beautiful colors that came from you
So this one goes out to the reds and yellows and blues
And of course I cant forget, all the beautiful colors on the day that we first met
So I will never know the right way to say thanks
for all the nights and days you spent hanging out
'Cause that's what this is about

How I, I am not into the idea of living without you
And I, I am not into the idea of being without you
And no, this won't be a sad song
There's gonna be claps and singing along
'Cause you're there when you talk and you're there not to stop and you're with me

Around the clock, you are, you are
Around the clock, yes you are
Around the clock

And just so ya'll know everyone else is not
so I, I am not into the idea of living without you
And I, I am not into the idea...
And no, this won't be a sad song
There's gonna be claps and singing along
'Cause you're there when you talk and you're there not to stop
and you're with me around the clock

"I'm Doing Everything (For You)"

Do you ever do a thing or two just to wait?
When you don't have anything to say?
I'll try to take this slow, but I don't know...
Cause I don't wanna wait
For time to look for the folks who try to say
that we don't know until were old cause that's how it goes
but I think I know oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And please pick me I'm a terrible mess
You know I just can't help it and I just gotta confess
You do what you do and I can't ever rest

[Bridge:]
So still I'm gonna do everything, I'm gonna make it right
I'm gonna make it good, I'm gonna do it alright
I'm gonna write it down, I'm gonna make a sound, sound, yeah

[Chorus:]
Cause I'm doing everything for you
Because I love to be near to you
Something just takes me away to a place where I'm happy
Cause I'm doing everything for you
Yeah you know that I adore you, oh
and I just can't take it anymore

Oh! Oh! You know I gotta know, yeah, oh no

So I'll be making up things for you to see
Like romantic lights surrounding Italy
Cause you deserve the very best, and I'll never rest
So I'll be sure to pass that test
And I just smile and say whoa cause you just gotta know
That every time we stay you never lose your way
It reaches to the stars shines up the clouds
and lights up this whole world
Bless your heart you've made me happy again
It's been so long and I'm sick of pretending
You've enlightened the brain in my head

[Bridge Repeat]

[Chorus Repeat]

Cause I don't wanna wait for another day cause I can feel this is right
I don't wanna make this go on for too much longer
Cause you've got a ringless finger and I could go buy a ring right now
Well, actually I don't have any money but that's ok
Cause I can figure it out

[Chorus Repeat]

"Tell Me Something Good"

Hey what you got you don't know
Anything that I'm gonna say right now
Cuz I'm not so sure why I'm here and why I wanna
Keep on hanging 'round right now
Not that I do it now or any day
Sometimes I just get burned out
About lots of things and well just doubt

So tell me something good you got it
Why am I so misunderstood cuz I wanna know this
Cuz I'm confused and do I break in two
So tell me how about you

Hey what you got something bad and I want it
Even though I know it's wrong
But I won't be blessed cuz I know this so I can't have that
So like a JOB I gotta be strong
Man I don't wanna be able to breathe
Be able to see what's become
of the wars of this world
and the wars from my tongue

So tell me something good you got it
Why am I so misunderstood cuz I wanna know this
Cuz I'm confused and I bruise yes I do so tell me how about you
So please just tell me something good you got it
Why am I so misunderstood cuz I wanna know this
Come on baby and race me and maybe we'll just find ourselves

I wanna be, I wanna be like that mountain
I wanna stand taller and bigger than the rest
See I just wanna be it a guy who wins all the time
I wanna be a big star a king and rule my own life
God I know that it's wrong
So please just make my heart right
Inside destroy my pride

So you can tell me something good you got it
Why I am so misunderstood cuz I wanna know this
Cuz I'm confused and I bruise yes I do so tell me how about you
So please just tell me something good you got it
Why am I so misunderstood cuz I wanna know this
Come on baby and race me and maybe we'll just find ourselves

Hey what you got something bad and I want it
Even though I know its wrong

"Brat Pack"

For about four years I've hated this town
There's so much I just want to get out
Since graduation was long ago
Please somebody get me out of this hole
Cause I don't want to get stuck in here
When I am thirty-four just talking about high school years
No I don't want to be there an I feel so stuck right here
Back and forth side to side oh my dear
My foot to the floor I will drive to the place
Where I can kick it with friends through the night
A place well talk about now and the past what the future holds
Hanging out with not much to do
Just aimless with each other is what we do

Cause this ain't where it's at
My friends will second that
And I gotta admit sometimes it's pretty sad
But it's like were our own brat pack
Were always kicking back nobody can take that
That is that it's like it's all we have

Whooo whooo ya oh come on

Say oh oh get on the floor
Dance till you got no more
I know it's there somewhere
Don't worry I'll be there to rock the party all night
To rock you till there's light, our fists in the air
Fighting a good fight
Cause we were singing along to Peter Gabriel sledge hammer song
You know it's clear that tonight we belong in this place
So I stand back to reflect in this town I hate
At least just for a second I think I might stay

This ain't where it's at
My friends will second that
And I gotta admit sometimes it's pretty sad
But its like were our own brat pack
Were always kicking back nobody can take that
And that is that

So ill run away to the hopes that I have
That still I fall asleep in the arms of my past
And when I wake so helpless and thinking of that just lay back down

Again

Everyday

So maybe later today I'll know
What I will do with my life as I know it
Maybe for now ill drive back to that place where I belong
And hope to God it hasn't changed

This ain't where it's at
My friends will second that
And I gotta admit sometimes it's pretty sad
But its like were our own brat pack were always kicking back
Nobody can take that no no no

This ain't where it's at
My friends will second that
And I gotta admit sometimes it's pretty sad
But its like were our own brat pack were always kicking back
Nobody can take that
That is that it's like its all we have

"Never Knew"

I just ran into a few someone's today
Someone's that I never really knew
And I used to think how I had them all so figured out

But no, none of it's true 'cause I never knew you
and now the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you
So hello, good friend, I wanna be next to you
For my head, for my heart, for what's true

So I'm burning the thoughts of the things that I once said
Because you tore down the walls that the world has put inside my head
And I just get sick of the things that we think, we think we know

And no, none of it's true 'cause I never knew you
and now the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you
So hello, good friend, I wanna be next to you
For my head, for my heart, for what's true

So take me and save me and change me and then make me
And embrace me and then brave my heart for you
No, no, 'cause I can't go on without you
And it's time for something new oh oh

And no, none of it's true 'cause I never knew you
and now the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you
So hello, good friend, I wanna be next to you
For my head, for my heart, for what's true

And as they strolled along
My heart broke out in song
From all the things and the thoughts and assumptions that I had wrong
So now I'll be on my way to make this claim
I'll make it famous in every way
I'll make it stay when I will say that...

No, none of it's true 'cause I never knew you
and now the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you
So hello, good friend, I wanna be next to you
For my head, for my heart, for what's true

Oh oh no, none of it's true 'cause I never knew you
and now the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you
So hello, good friend, I wanna be next to you
For my head, for my heart, for what's true

Oh no no no, none of it's true 'cause I never knew you
and now the truth of it is, is I wanna be, wanna be like you
So hello, good friend, I wanna be next to you
For my head, for my heart, for what's true

"Treasures"

Night has found its way here
And all I can hear are memories shrill and clear
Like today man had his way
And stole and what I made
He saw that I was sincere

So use me up, then throw me away
Build your careers and friendships
Quote on Quote and frankly I'm ashamed
That I left my name on her lips
Cause when it ends they'll swear it is

So I'll fall asleep and try not to think twice
About all the things that forever
Will kick me down the steps
For being too nice
Cause everyone's searching for treasure

And they'll just dig, dig, dig
Until they cant get out
And dying dirty digging for treasure
But as for me I'm giving up and I'll take my bow
And focus on my treasure forever
Yes, I know that my treasure is heaven

"Goodbye Waves And Driveways"

Just walk away
Gather your thoughts for the second wave
Of this argument on this epic changing day
It's crazy to think that an hour ago all things were great
But we stand both proud both wrong and right
Throwing cheap shots in this stubborn fight
And our lives are so intertwined in one
And we're just so stuck in this moment its clear that were coming undone

And you see it's hard for me to breathe
When I get all worked up with these feelings
And I don't know exactly how it is
That we can be so mad we consider to not exist
And we both know there's so much love clenched within our fists

The goodbye waves in the driveway just resonate
And yes I'm throwing it right back at her
While were drowning in rivers from our faces
We just wanna know if this is this over
Trembling silence fills the air
As we stand here so impaired, but so aware

I sit in this house
Alone with fresh photographs
And I just can't relax
Like cigarette smoke, I'm starting to choke on this
Then half of my souls on the road in a car with a girl in a dress

See it's making it hard for me to breathe
When I get all worked up with these feelings
And I don't know exactly how it is
Just to say I'm right, you're wrong, we both lose to win

The goodbye waves in the driveway just resonate
And yes I'm throwing it right back at her
While were drowning in rivers from our faces
We just wanna know if this is this over
Trembling silence fills the air
As we stand here whoa-oh

So hey now, maybe we're just being stupid
Hey, maybe we're being dumb
So hey now, maybe it's time that we stopped and we realize that like a flag in the wind we are one
And how at first it's made so pure and lovely
But in battle can be torn to shreds
But with time and with patience and love and affection
Can be fixed with needle and thread
Because I love you and you love me
And nothing will make this leave
I said I love you and you love me
And nothing will make, make, make, make this leave
So remember me, yeah!
Remember me, yeah!
Remember me

Don't walk away...

"Good News"

Please mister spare some change
For a poor broken man in need
I'm sick and dying walking barefoot
Please just buy me a drink

The truth is that I'd like to die
But I fear of where I could go, if that's real
'Cause take a look; I'm so drunk, stupid, and worthless
For some Jesus you feel, if that's real

So let me get this straight
Cause I have a question
You're saying he'd listen if I were to speak
Yes that's what I'm saying, in fact I was just thinking
He's probably thinking of asking you the same very thing
He wants to say "you're okay, be my friend
Let me help you and take you out of this lake that you are clearly drowning in
Make me yours and I'll make your mine"

So hey, listen up friends
Good news is coming,
Soon is the end of all the world's troubles
And all of its sin.
I said hey, listen up friends
Oh, good news it coming,
Soon is the end of all the world's troubles
And all of it's sin
