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 My Mom Still Cleans My Room I'm not always nice, not always mean My room has never been seen clean The way I feel is not always how I seem The thoughts that form inside my brain Don't always seem to entertain 'Cause when I tell my company They think there's something wrong with me You don't know me like you think you do You don't understand me and it's true I'm getting older day by day Ain't got time to get to everything Hold on tight, enjoy the ride Life is short, so live it wisely I'm not always sick, but often tired Sometimes I'm having fun or wired I don't have someone to call my own I'm not full of all the answers I guess that I'm an o.k. dancer I just want to be left alone Do Your Feet Hurt Can I call you sweetheart or even baby doll? If I had your number, you'd be getting a phone call Can I leave you a message on your machine? Letting you know that you're the bomb And you blew up on me Are you anxious to see me After your next class? Do you care when I tell you Step around that broken glass? Can I see you after you get out of school? I won't even mind if you treat me cruel Take a ride on my Vespa, I'll take you home I'll climb up to your window and read you a poem I know that you believe in the one true God above And that's why you're waiting For your one and only love Do your feet hurt? Did you fall from heaven? 'Cause you've been running through My mind all day My mind don't mind I don't know what to say or do I can't eat when I'm with you Goodnight sweetheart I gotta go And you won't come to my next show? Sometimes You Have To Ask Yourself Never quite just knew how to get it through The utilitarian sloganeerian minds And its time to stand up and redefine the lines right now Compartmentalizing, isn't realizing Because it's not affecting change in the real world So get on with your life and get over mine There's only one world and there's many different tastes So enjoy, don't employ your state Common goals, communicate to contemplate The way things are and why Don't pawn the status quo problems off on the other guy Your a celebrity in your own world Catch phrases only catching cobb webs Spiritualized capital gain and wealth Isn't the means to the end, isn't the end itself Manifest individually Manifest a sense of reality Because it's non exclusive Don't be so elusively blind Things are never what they seem You don't know what you'll find Right now! The Wonder Years I don't understand what's going on in my life these days Everything upside down turned around Won't waste my life, no way And I don't know why I can't see clearly? I can't think 'cause it's too early So many doubts frequent my mind all the time Our lives in general are one in the same, But there's no variations Our lives in general are on in the same But there's no difference of opinion In my younger years, I used to be so free But I don't know what's happening to me We all know by now that time's the enemy It controls us, tells us where to be Don't know, don't care If you need me, I'll be right here Move To Bremerton When I meet a special girl She always lives somewhere else in the world I don't want to call her on the phone I wanna talk to her when I'm at home Move to Bremerton - we'll hang out Move to Bremerton - cause you wanna Move to Bremerton - will you be mine? (Move to Bremerton til' the end of time) I'll change the street signs you drive down So you end up in my town I'll re-draw the maps all one by one So they all lead to Bremerton Drop out of school and run away Quit your job, you got a place to stay Pack your bags and hitch a ride Bremerton's a good place to reside If you owned a brain and use it too You gotta know that I'd have a crush on you I'm a sucker for a level headed girl with a pretty smile She gotz to have ideas, yeah, and she gotz to have style New York To Nowhere Going nowhere fast, watching cars go past Why won't the snow melt faster? This trip is a disaster 16 hour drive, just played in some dive New York to nowhere, we're never gonna get there A million miles away from everyone I know Stuck here night and day with 5 more days to go Andrea Meeting you was just so unexpected I guess I was scared of being rejected Since you were so nice I wouldn't think twice I'd give it all away for one more day with you If ever there was a girl to be engaged to That amazing girl would have to be you Before we hung out Don't know how I lived without Your beautiful face - like God's amazing grace Andrea, I say your name and all I can do is Think about the way you smiled And kinda sorta held my hand Went out for coffee in what must have been the smallest town in Kentucky Andrea, we walked together Down the dirt road by the bridge That we sat by each other Talked about a few things You looked at me I looked at you Before you know, it's time to go! Your Problem My Emergency Get a clue, I'm not here for you And I'm not like you I'm not gonna do what you say is right 'Cause then I'll end up just like you I'm gonna rebel, I'm gonna fight This organized manipulation Learn to think before you speak And you just might make a point I'm just an average guy, is that hard to accept? I live a normal life I've got no regrets Don't make me out to be something that I'm not I never said I was anything, so don't expect me to be Why is your problem always my emergency? This is no court of law, you're all speculation Sex masquerades as rock and roll And manufactured music to save your soul So go and do your homework Demographics target marketing Chick Magnet 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 gotta 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 Today Is In My Way It breaks my heart it makes me sad to think of all the times we had You made me laugh and you make me cry And all that I can do is sigh, and wonder why How will I get through tomorrow If I can't make it through today? How will I get through tomorrow, when today is in my way? Today is in my way What's done is done and in the past good things come and go so fast You looked up at me and said goodbye All that I could do was sigh and wonder why I deserve all that I get serves me right I will admit and today just won't go away Sorry So Sorry I should have stayed in bed today I couldn't think of a positive thing to say My friends all hate me now I was selfish and realize now I have it a little time I thought about it a while ask to forgive and forget Crack a joke and a smile It's hard to say you're sorry when you know that you were wrong The weight of hurting words We often carry on The annoying things I don't mind so much anymore I've learned to tolerate the annoying four I won't let the sun go down when I've made a mistake I'd make right what I've wronged and give more that I take Doing Time 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 did my time In a sense I'm out, in a sense I'm free to be what I wanna be Fun was cartoons Saturdays Fun was staying up past eight lame was tring to fit in lame was the wrong crowd let me it 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. Correct Me If I'm Wrong Did You Forget What's Important In Your Life? Somewhat confused, everthing is going wrong Do you regret the decisions that you've made? I don't expect a second chance to come along You already found the book with all the answers to all your questions so take a closer look You're in the turn land and I'm the intersection Did you forget when you wakled out of my room to turn off the light and say goodnight your answer's coming soon I will admit in the end I'll be O.K. I think it safe to say, you don't know If we're better off this way Please don't forget how to laugh out loud And be proud of yourself I know you'll do what's right for you Cristalena Cristalena, ya she's so cool Crsitalena, she's out of control Half the time she don't know where she's at Cristalena don't know much about that But you know, and I know Cristalena But you know, and I know where I've seen her Cristalena, she's in her own world she's always happy as a littly girl Cristalen's nice unless she's annoyed Cristalena happens to like boys - but not me Cristalena, where'd you go? Don't even know where you've been Cristalena, won't you stay? Please don't go away, won't you be my friend? Destroyed By You Can someone tell me why I'm feeling this way? Can someone tell me why this world is so grey? It's never just black and white So much went on tonight was I wrong or was I right? You think the whole world revolves around around your head You are ignoring me, you haven't heard a word I've just said Why can't I just pull myself together? What's done is done, never say never Always look for good in the bad learn from the mistakes that I have had I re and re-learn to let it go talk is easy but it's so hard to show Southbound It's all the same same old town witha different name That's fine by me there's only one place that I wanna be Southbound on I-5 and 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 (Playing every night with the occasional fight) Been on the road awhile I gotto get back to a place with style Hang out, havin' fun I gotta get back to the beach in the sun |
