New Found Glory

First topic message reminder :

"Standstill"

it's three in the morning and i stayed up all night drowning in my words
writing about you time seems to standstill since the day you left me
a revolving door slamming this time so slowly you're running out
you're running fast now
we were just kids back then two years of my life traded for an ending like this
like a love movie without a goodbye kiss
why was it me with all sincerity which car drove us to drove us to this road
this road of broken promises first it was broken glass
that fell down from the sky so fast it hit us then she promised
but it happened again

"Eyesore"

Forget me not
Those weren't your words
I'm home haven't you heard the ring?
The sound of my voice
I know it isn't much
That's why I say your name
When I fall, when I hit the bottom
Girl, play on
The boys will stay even if you're gone
Go girl, play on
The boys will stay even if you're gone
I've missed you
Those weren't your words
Seeing you became a charm
And everyday, I wish I could
Everyday...
I say your name
When I fall, when I hit the bottom
Girl, play on
The boys will stay even if you're gone
Go girl, play on
The boys will stay even if you're gone
I say your name
When I fall, when I hit the bottom
Girl, play on
The boys will stay even if you're gone
Go girl, play on
The boys will stay even if you're gone

"Second To Last"

I hate myself for losing you
I blame myself for pulling you apart
I guess this is the only way
I hate these eyes that noticed you
I blame my heart for breaking up that day
It didn't mean much anyway
It's you, you I figured out
It always helps to forget how to be yourself
It's you, you realize that your understanding this
Understanding that you're all alone
Today
Is the first day of your life
The first day that you're on your own
Now you know what to call home
I know I'm right for leaving you
Now there's nothing left for me to say
It never meant much anyway
It's you, you I figured out
It always helps to forget how to be yourself
It's you, you realize that your understanding this
Understanding that you're all alone
Today
Is the first day of your life
The first day that you're on your own
Now you know what to call home
This could be
The second to last time
You're way too close to dive

"Sincerely Me"

Dear your name here....
It's been a long time, very long time
Since I've heard your voice
And I bet she never thought I was
So sorry so?
I've had a hard time, very hard time
Seeing less of you
I never thought you knew
So can you see you're seeing less of me darling
And you're blind to the fact that my
Heart stopped beating
And I'm as good as dead
Dear I forgot your name again...
Just picking up where I left off
(Oh yeah) This is the part where you leave me
So sorry so?
I've had a hard time, very hard time
Seeing less of you
I never thought you knew
So can you see
You're seeing less of me darling
And you're blind to the fact that my
Heart stopped beating
And I'm as good as dead
This is all I have to say

"Dressed To Kill"

I know it's hard for you
To understand what I'm going through
But now I sit here to remind myself
You're always dressed to kill
And you feel like you owe it to the world
But you owe it to yourself
And you're, you're not here
And I can't stop pretending
That you're forever mine...
And I
I can't dream anymore since you left
I miss you singing me to sleep
I can't wake anymore in your arms
I miss you singing me to sleep
Cheer up my friends all say
You're better alone anyways
But you're always on tour
And you're never home
I'm always dressed to kill
And I feel like I owe it to the world
But I owe it to myself
And you're, you're not here
And I can't stop pretending
That you're forever mine...
And I
I can't dream anymore since you left
I miss you singing me to sleep
I can't wake anymore in your arms
I miss you singing me to sleep
Cheer up my friends all say...
And I can't stop pretending
That you're forever mine
You're better alone anyways
And you're not here, not here
I can't dream anymore since you left
I miss you singing me to sleep
I can't wake anymore in your arms
I miss you singing me to sleep
Cheer up my friends all say...

"Better Off Dead"

Ash his heart onto the ground
Pull his guts out by frustration
Be careful you might kill him
Just cause he can't hear what you say
Doesn't mean that he's not listening
If you listen to your words
He might like what you say
So you've been going out for years
And I'm sure that you've been happy
Happy with your role
You've been looking up to him
As if you've forgotten of your own life
Forgotten of your own face
Burn and start again
Just cause he can't hear what you say
Doesn't mean that he's not listening
If you listen to your words
HE might like what you say
On my own again
That's what she said
I'm leaving you tomorrow
But she already left
She already left me
She said I'm better off dead
It's your own life
Live it for yourself
It's your own life
Live for your...
Just cause he can't hear what you say
Doesn't mean that he's not listening
If you listen to your words
He might like what you say
On my own again
That's what she said
I'm leaving you tomorrow
But she already left
She already left me
She said I'm better off dead

"So Many Ways"

There must be so many ways to say goodbye
I'm breaking up again
But just when I thought I could hear her voice
It echoes in my head
I'm sorry if I say the wrong things
I'm sorry if you feel that I don't want you anymore
But how can I believe any words that she says to me
When everything comes out wrong
She's built and torn down anyone that gets close to her heart
To her heart
There must be so many ways to say goodbye
But I can't seem to think of one this time
So many ways to say goodbye
Even if she isn't mine
I'm still losing my mind
She's calling me again
But I was so convinced I'd never hear her voice
She says hello
How can you ever breathe without me
Cause I can see this happening all over again
I think I want it to
How can I believe any words that she says to me
When everything comes out wrong
She's built and torn down anyone that gets close to her heart
There must be so many ways to say goodbye
But I can't seem to think of one this time
There must be so many ways to say goodbye
Even if she isn't mine
I'm still losing my mind
She's built and torn down anyone
She's built and torn down anyone that comes close to her heart
To her heart
There must be so many ways to say goodbye
But I can't seem to think of one this time
So many ways to say goodbye
Even if she isn't mine
I'm still losing my mind

"Ballad For The Lost Romantics"

I've grown sick
I've gotten older
I finally have an audience to ignore
I can yell all I want
But you still can't hear me
I'm punching myself out
Holding in my breath
I can take this lightly
Throwing up the words that I said to you
I always do what I'm not supposed to
Here's to us fools
That have no meaning
I tip my glass to you
Let's toast the night away to friends
And forget about tomorrow
I might say things you don't want to hear
But someday you might care and I won't be there
No I won't be there here's to us fools
That have no meaning
I tip my glass to you
Let's toast the night away to friends
And forget about tomorrow
I'm punching myself out
Holding in my breath
I can yell all I want
Throwing up the words that I said to you
I always do what I'm not supposed to
Here's to us fools that have no meaning
I tip my glass to you
Let's toast the night away to friends
And forget about tomorrow.

"All About Her"

Let me practice this before I say it to you
I know it might come out wrong but I want it to
Another chance to fight
Another way to make it right
So forget all of your chances
It's up to you to follow through
Forget the way she was
Cause it's the things she does that make me
Sing about her
She knows I care about her
She said be gentle boy
You show a lack of character
Let me work this out
Before I come back to you
I know you
Sometimes hate the stupid things I do
Another lonely night
Another way to make it right
So forget al of your chances
it's up to you to follow through
forget the way she was
cause it's the things she does that make me sing about her
she knows I care about her
she said be gentle boy
you show a lack of character
there is no other way this girl is so all about me
I'm sorry I can't help the way
Cause it's the things she does that make me
Sing about her
She knows I care about her
She said be gentle boy
You show a lack of character.

"Boy Crazy"

Some girls are crazy
Just listen to what I have to say about it
You've gotta watch out for the beautiful ones
They'll twist your head right off your neck
And laugh about it with their friends
That's just one night for them
They target you with their eyes
And move with their lips
And it pulls you in
She shuts you down with her voice again
And now are you listening?
This song goes out to girls
That we haven't met just yet
This song is for stupid girls
Who think that every boy is all about them
These girls are crazy...
Just listen to what I have to say about it
You've gotta watch out for the younger ones
They'll tightly wrap you around their fingers
And brag to all their friends
It's nothing but a game to them
Then target you with their eyes
And move with their lips
And it pulls you in
She shuts you down with her voice again
And now are you listening?
This song goes out to girls
That we haven't met yet
This song is for stupid girls
Who think that every boy is all about them
You think you're on top of the world
When all the eyes are on you
Just wait until your heart breaks
And you'll know how I felt when I wrote....

"Black And Blue"

It's time to open your eyes
And wake up to the morning
Today calls out your name
And I can never be the same
Without you
Ruining my life
That's what you seem to be the best at
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Being drowned...
That's more that I can say for everyone else
I can't sleep
Cause it's only four in the morning
I think I ran out of dreams
And I can never be the same
Without you
Ruining my life
That's what you seem to be the best at
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Being drowned...That's more that I can say for everyone else
How can you say that you love me?
When the world around you is changing
How can you say that you love me?
When it's only eleven-thirty
Ruining my life
That's what you seem to be the best at

"Sucker"

You're more than tongue tied this time
Well I can feel it in you lips
Nobody told me you were a sucker for a kiss
Music low
We're all alone
Being wrong never felt so right
Tell me about your first kiss
Tell me or have you already forgotten it
Tell me about your first kiss
What do I have to do to get through all of this?
I'm writing it down
I bet you thought this song was about you
You're more than just mad this time
You've got that look in your eye
Nobody told me you were a sucker for a kiss
Music low
We're all alone
Being wrong never felt so right
Tell me about your first kiss
Tell me or have you already forgotten it?
I'm writing it down
Just leave me here and tell me to my face what you think about
Can we figure out
What happened to our happy ending anyway?
How you feel about
Leaving me here
With a lot more left to say
Music low
We're all alone
Being wrong never felt so right
Tell me about your first kiss
Tell me or have you already forgotten it
Tell me about your first kiss
What do I have to do to get though all of this?
I'm writing it down
I bet you thought this song was about you

"Never Give Up"

living with me
I don't think it would be so bad
this is the first time this year
that I'm not going to make you mad
I'm tired of my conscious
always telling me to stop sleeping in
but I can't waste a second
on dreams that will never begin

everyone has a head upon their shoulders
we're losing our pride as we all get older
everyone has to pick on their saviors
you might not get it right
or you might realize that its too late

don't back down
I'm over the past
can't you see
don't back down
I don't really care about before
before you met me

is it cool if I see you tonight
there's a thousand questions
I want to ask you
if you think that its alright

everyone has a head upon their shoulders
we're losing our pride as we all get older
everyone has to pick on their saviors
you might not get it right
or you might realize that its too late

don't back down
I'm over the past
can't you see
don't back down
I don't really care about before
before you met me

so don't take anything for granted
stand outside in the rain
an excuse you know I planned it
every ending
ends up the same

don't back down
I'm over the past
can't you see
don't back down
I don't really care about before
before you met me

"Forget My Name"

tell all my friends I'm dead
I'm leaving you, this time its for good
tell all my friends that I'm dead
it won't be long before you forget my name

can you tell
that I'm losing myself
I think I'm trying too hard to
let it show
to let you know
don't trace your footsteps back to me

cause I've been gone for a long time
waiting on the sidelines
hoping for a chance to play
well I thought I would never leave anything behind
I also never thought I'd say

tell all my friends I'm dead
I'm leaving you, this time its for good
tell all my friends that I'm dead
it won't be long before you forget my name

can you tell
that I don't know myself
I need someone to remind me
to let it go
please let me know
don't trace your footsteps back to me

cause I've been gone for a long time
waiting on the sidelines
hoping for a chance to play
well I thought I would never leave anything behind
I also never thought I'd say

tell all my friends I'm dead
I'm leaving you, this time its for good
tell all my friends that I'm dead
it won't be long before you forget my name

and if I had the chance
to do it all again
I wouldn't expect anything less
and if I had the chance
to do it all again
I wouldn't expect
I wouldn't expect anything less

tell all my friends I'm dead
I'm leaving you, this time its for good
tell all my friends that I'm dead
it won't be long before you forget my name

forget my name

"It's Been A Summer"

I'm cracked from my head down to my spine
Ready to Self-Destruct at any time
And I'm trying to convince myself
That the way I feel is all I have
It could take a lifetime
To realize that you're alright

But she said
"I'd know when you would come back"
It's been a summer

It's burning up in here
Even though the bed is cold on your side
I'd rather die
then spend this night here without you

I would try to fix these flaws of mine
If I could just see you for one more time
Ready to self-destruct at any time
And I'm trying to convince myself
That the way I feel is all I have
I don't believe in sure things
There's pain in what the truth brings

I'd be the first one to know
If its smart for me to just let it go
I'll be the laughing stock of all time
Person most likely to find
Deciding if it's fate that made you avoid me to this day

"Head On Collision"

I've been waiting for a good day
I've been holding back long enough
I've been hurting to tell you some things
it's not the falling of the temperature
that's making all our bones run cold
it's the breeze you make
the presence felt when you're around me

and it feels like I'm at an all-time low
slightly bruised and broken
from our head on collision
I've never seen this side of you
another tragic case of feeling
bruised and broken
form our head on collision
I've never seen this side of you
another tragic case

and I'm still waiting for a good day
I think I've held this long enough
I think it's safe to tell you some things
it's not just what you say to people
and it's not the way you look at me
it's the way you present yourself
for all your worst critics to see

and it feels like I'm at an all-time low
slightly bruised and broken
from our head on collision
I've never seen this side of you
another tragic case of feeling
bruised and broken
form our head on collision
I've never seen this side of you
another tragic case

then you were gone
you were gone
all this time you just didn't know it yet
you were gone
all this time you just didn't know it yet
you were gone

and it feels like I'm at an all-time low
slightly bruised and broken
form our head on collision
I've never seen this side of you
another tragic case of feeling
bruised and broken
from our head on collision
I've never seen this side of you
another tragic case
another tragic case of feeling
bruised and broken
another tragic case and I've been
still waiting for a good day
still waiting for a good day

"Something I Call Personality"

Before you jump down my throat
I'd like to present you with
Something I call personality
Word travels fast when you're on the road
I'd like to think what I have is real

Sort this out on your own time
Go on and sort this out on your own time

Before you jump to conclusions
About all the friends I have
Just remember they were born that way
Word travels fast when her name's involved
i'd like to think what I have is real

Sort this out on your own time
Go on and sort this out on your own time

no matter how happy you are
you'll always want more
no matter how stupid I get
you'll always want more

"Sonny"

I'm sorry
I heard about the bad news today
A crowd of people around you
Telling you it's okay
And everything happens for a reason

When you lose a part of your self
To somebody you know
It takes a lot to let go
Every breath that you remember
Pictures fade away but memory is forever

An empty chair at all the tables
And I'll be seeing you when all my days boil down
But it's better where you're going anyway

I'm sorry
I heard about the bad news today
It's really hard to get through
Tough times and long days
But it really just depends on the season

For now we'll say goodbye
We know it's not the last time
I've lost the best part of my day
But it's better where you're going anyway

This is the last thing
I will remember
It's better where you're going anyway

"My Friends Over You"

I’m drunk off your kiss
For another night in a row
This is becoming too routine for me
But I did not mean to lead you on
And it’s all right to pretend
That we still talk
It’s just for show, isn’t it
It’s my fault that it fell apart

Just maybe
You need this
And I didn’t mean to
Lead you on

You were everything I wanted
But I just can't finish what I've started
There’s no room left here on my back
It was damaged long ago
Though you swear that you are true
I still pick my friends over you
(My friends over you)

Please tell me everything,
That you think that I should know
About all the plans you made
When I was nowhere to be found
And it’s all right to forget
That we still talk
Its just for fun, isn’t it
It’s my fault that it fell apart

Cuz maybe you need this
And I didn’t mean to
Lead you on

You were everything I wanted
But I just can't finish what I've started
There’s no room left here on my back
It was damaged long ago
Though you swear that you are true
I still pick my friends over you
(My friends over you)

Just maybe you need this
You need this…
And I didn’t mean to
Lead you on

You were everything I wanted
But I just can't finish what I've started
There’s no room left here on my back
It was damaged long ago
Though you swear that you are true
I still pick my friends over you

"Understatement"

I'm Sick of Smiling
And so is my jaw
Can't you see my front is crumbling down?
I'm sick of being someone I'm not
Please get me out of this spot
I'm sick of clapping
When I know I can do it better for myself
I'm sick of waiting
Sick of all these words that will never matter

I'll wire these nerves together
Hoping for a chance to think on time
And I'm tracing over your letter
To see if your intentions are as good as mine

But you're getting worse
I swear it
It's hard to prove you're an understatement
You're getting worse and I know
That you'll be calling me again

I'm done with everything
That had to do with you
Don't worry your pictures are already burned
I'm done with new friends
Don't sell yourself short
You'll lose it in the end

I can't help how I feel

"Forget Everything"

Can we pretend for one second that we are together,
What's the point of keeping my feelings at bay,
It takes alot of me,
To get the nerve to wake up,
Everyday,

And what if I don't,
Would you even care,
Would you even care,

Forget everything that we have done,
Erase me,
From your memory,
Don't call,
Don't ask about me until the day hell freezes over,

I can't remember the last time I saw you smile,
It might have been around this time last year,
It takes alot of me,
To get the nerve to tell you everything is ok,

And what if I don't,
Would you even care,
Would you even care,

Forget everything that we have done,
Erase me,
From your memory,
Don't call,
Don't ask about me until the day hell freezes over,

It's gone,
Before you know it,
You can't let go of something you've never had,
It's ash until you burn it,
I hope I never see you again,

And what if I don't,
Would you even care,
Would you even care,

Forget everything that we have done,
Erase me,
From your memory,
Don't call,
Don't ask about me until the day hell freezes over,

When hell freezes over

"Anniversary"

I thought I'd write you something to remember me by,
A commemorative for the two years you spent by my side,
But every day is a new mistake,
A new song to be written and erased,
Why would you listen anyway,

Finally I'm going on with my life,
What a big mistake it was saving all my good-byes,

I'm not the type of person to get over it,
It's stuck in the back of my mind along with the time we spent,

Finally I'm going on with my life,
What a big mistake it was saving all my good-byes,
By the end of the year,
You won't even be there,
What a big mistake it was,
I wanted you to be there

Piece it together,
Along with all the rest,
Don't forget to write,
Warm your cold shoulder,
Don't listen to what they say, what they say,

I thought I'd write you something to remember me by,

Finally I'm going on with my life,
What a mistake it was saving all my good-byes,
By the end of the year,
You won't even be there,
What a big mistake it was,
I wanted you to be there

"The Story So Far"

I can't remember the time or place,
or what you were wearing,
it's unclear about how we met,
all I know it was the best conversation that I've ever had,
to this day I never found someone,
with eyes as wide as yours,
I've been searching up and down this coast,
overlooking what I need the most

did you notice I was afraid?
I thought I'd run out of things to say,
two more hours until today burns this away,
and it starts all over again,
the sky will never look the same again,
till you show me how it could be,
the sky will never look the same again,
till you show me how it could be

and everything else is irrelevant,
to the story so far,
a coincidence that you looked like her from afar,
is it true that you like to sleep alone?
Or is it what you just tell everyone?

Did you notice that I was afraid?
I thought I'd run out of things to say
two more hours until today burns this away,
and it starts all over again
the sky will never look the same again,
till you show me how it could be
the sky will never look the same again
till you show me how it could be

and when the world turns over
ill keep my ears to the wall
and when the world turns over
ill keep my feet straight on the ground

did u notice I was afraid?
I thought I'd run out of things to say,
two more hours until today burns this away,
and it starts all over again,
the sky will never look the same again
till you show me how it could be
the sky will never look the same again
till you show me how it could be

"Belated"

I've never felt so bad in my entire life
But this time i did it to myself
What do u expect from me?
I did it
So what do u expect from me

Let go of my hand
Is it time to go?
I'm not ready to turn my back on you yet
I'm not going to let you down
Let you down

September came so quickly
I wasn't prepared
I didn't mean to miss your birthday
What do u expect from me?
I did it
So what do you expect from me?

Why don't you let go of my hand?
Is it time to go?
I'm not ready to turn my back on you yet
I'm not goin to let you down

Bridges will fall from under us
But we are strong
We'll (we'll) get through this
The earth will open up (will open up)
And try to pull us in
But we'll get through this
Get through this

"Singled Out"

I figured all the years we shared were proof enough
to extend my hand and help you
I know that getting started can be rough
Enthused smile, you seemed grateful
I felt real good about myself
That's until the day you showed me
You needed anybody else

Why'd you have to go?
And make me say these things about you
Why'd you have to turn around?
After all that we've been through

I figured all the memories were proof enough
To maybe open your eyes
From the people you think hold your trust
Do you ever smile and find it shameful
'Cause you don't know who you are?
I am glad you never told me...
You needed anybody else

What will you do
when there's no one to fall back on?
I won't be there
I've learned my lesson
What will you do when there's no friends to fall back on?
Because they've all been stepped on

"The Great Houdini"

All dressed up
And nowhere to go
I think I'm taking this trip alone
Thirty seconds till I pass
The questions you will never ask
Your regrets will haunt you
You know I never had to

But I'm saving myself from you
And did you notice anything?
The change is me
Now it's safe to say
You will never change your ways

I went to your house
But you weren't home
I'm sure you conveniently shut off your phone
I don't think that I'll ever be
The person that you want of me
When all that I can think about
It's you I have to figure out

But I'm saving myself from you
And did you notice anything
The change is me
Now it's safe to say
You will never change your ways
You would give up anything
To prove your point
There's nothing left to say
You will never change your ways

I'm saving myself from you
Yeah I'm saving myself from you

All dressed up
And nowhere to go
I think I'm taking this trip alone
Did you notice anything?
That changes me?
Now it's safe to say
You will never change your ways
You would give up anything
To prove your point
There's nothing left to say
You will never change your ways
