I Don't Wanna Rock

It really sucks to give your heart to a girl
You wanna know her like she knows the whole world
But 10 seconds and it's obvious it's goin' nowhere
She makes you tell her that she's your best friend
You tell her things you know won't make her mad
Don't want to be the one to say things are goin nowhere

Where are you now?
(Oh oh oh)
Where are you now?
(Oh oh oh)
I don't wanna talk
I don't wanna rock
I don't wanna wait by the phone
And I don't wanna tell you I love you
Don't wanna tell you I love you anymore

It's hard to live outside a safety zone
Cause you remember bein' all alone
Two kinds of misery and either way
You're going nowhere

Where are you now?
(Oh oh oh)
Where are you now?
(Oh oh oh)
I don't wanna talk
I don't wanna rock
I don't wanna wait by the phone
And I don't wanna tell you I love you
Don't wanna tell you I love you anymore
Don't wanna tell you I love you
Don't wanna tell you I love you anymore

And she makes me want to be a homosexual
Maybe I'll be your best friend
Maybe see ya naked once in a while

I don't wanna talk
I don't wanna rock
I don't wanna talk
I don't wanna rock
I don't wanna talk
I don't wanna rock
I don't wanna wait by the phone
And I don't wanna tell you I love you
Don't wanna tell you I love you anymore
Don't wanna tell you I love you
Don't wanna tell you I love you anymore

I don't wanna rock
I don't wanna rock
I don't wanna rock
I don't wanna rock
I don't wanna rock
I don't wanna rock
I don't wanna rock
I don't wanna tell you I love you anymore




Emily

It wasn't supposed to be like this
Another dose of unhappiness
I gave it all and managed to get shot down yet again
So I got drunk, had sex with all your friends
You told me that I should never call your house again

Emily aaahhh
You saved the day
Emily aaahhh
When you threw me away

She was always such a pretty girl nobody like her in the world
A little piece of heavenly that no one else could stand
I see her in my dreams at night I see her when I close my eyes
I just cant seem to shake, Emily

You got your money and I got cast
Outside thrown out on my ass
In the city with no one else,
Nowhere else to go
So I hooked up with a model from Singapore
Emily I sure am glad you didnt want me anymore

Emily aaahhh
You saved the day
Emily aaahhh
When you threw me away

She was always such a pretty girl nobody like her in the world
A little piece of heavenly that no one else could stand
I see her in my dreams at night I see her when I close my eyes
I just cant seem to shake, Emily, Emily

She was always such a pretty girl nobody like her in the world
A little piece of heavenly that noone else could stand
I see her in my dreams at night I see her when I close my eyes
I just cant seem to shake, Emily

Emily aaahhh
You saved the day
Emily aaahhh
You saved the day
Emily aaahhh
Emily aaahhh
You saved my ass.




Girl All The Bad Guys Want

8 o'clock, Monday night and I'm waitin'
To finally talk to a girl a little cooler than me
Her name is Nona, she's a rocker with a nose ring,
She wears a two way, but I'm not quite sure what that means

And when she walks
All the wind blows and the angels sing
She doesn't notice me

Cause she is watchin' wrestling
Creamin' over tough guys
Listenin' to rap metal
Turntables in her eyes

It's like a bad movie
She is lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be
Screamin' Someone shoot me!
As I fail miserably,
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want
She's the girl all the bad guys want

She likes the [[Godsmack]] and I like [[Agent Orange]]
Her cd changer's full of singers that are mad at their dad
She says she'd like to score some reefer and a forty
She'll never know that I'm the best that she'll never have

And when she walks,
All the wind blows and the angels sing
She'll never notice me

Cause she is watchin' wrestling
Creamin' over tough guys
Listenin' to rap metal
Turntables in her eyes

She likes 'em with a mustache
Racetrack season pass
Drivin' in a Trans-Am
Does a mullet make a man?

It's like a bad movie
She is lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be
Screamin' Someone shoot me!
As I fail miserably,
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want
She's the girl all the bad guys want
She's the girl all the bad guys want
She's the girl all the bad guys want

There she goes again
With fishnets on, and dreadlocks in her hair
She broke my heart, I wanna be sedated
All I wanted was to see her naked

Now I am watchin' wrestling
Tryin' to be a tough guy
Listenin' to rap metal
Turntables in my eyes
I can't grow a mustache
And I ain't got no season pass
All I got's a moped... moped... moped....

It's like a bad movie
She is lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be
Screamin' Someone shoot me!
As I fail miserably,
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want.

She's the girl all the bad guys want
She's the girl all the bad guys want
She's the girl all the bad guys want
She's the girl all the bad guys want
(There she goes again)
She's the girl all the bad guys want
She's the girl all the bad guys want
(There she goes again)
She's the girl all the bad guys want
She's the girl all the bad guys want




On And On (About You)

I'm happy again
To be stuck here again
And you're so happy again
To be stuck here again

Now we can laugh about the good 'ol days
Laugh at dumb jokes that you make
It's great to be here and I'm just elated
To be someone you once hated
And it's all so complicated
Maybe this time you can crawl inside your little world
Makeout with another girl
If it were up to me I'd like to

Buy you flowers every day
Make every day a holiday
Carry on and on and on about you
And the things you do
The things you do

I'm so sorry again
You say you're leavin' me again
Cause you're not happy again
Now we're stuck here again
Now you can scream about the little things
Slap me twice across the face
Man it would be great if I could

Buy you flowers every day
Make every day a holiday
Carry on and on and on about you
And the things you do
The things you do
(Alright)

I'd like to buy you flowers every day
Make every day a holiday
Carry on and on and on about you
And the things you do

Me gustaria comprar de flores cada dia
Hace el cada dia una vacacion
Y habla mas y mas y mas de ti
De las cosas que haces

I just said I'd buy you flowers every day
Make every day a holiday
Carry on and on and on about you
And the things you do
The things you do....do....do....do....

Ol�!




Surf Colorado

muppypuppy
Eminem kn�cker
Bajen ocks�
A long time ago
I still remember everything
you said to me that nite

It's too bad
And it's too late
You were such a big mistake
Please don't call here anymore
I used to miss you!

There's no surf in Colorado anyway
And it's a shame when you're happy
And you still look at me that way
There's no surf in Colorado anyway, yea
She never waved to me or said goodbye
One night she just left me and her behind

There she goes
No one knows
What she does to my heart
Still, she'll never know
How we speak across the room
Eye to eye, she's holding him, holding me soon

It's too bad
And it's too late
Was it such a big mistake
You don't call me anymore
(Call me anymore)
And I still miss you!

There's no surf in Colorado anyway
And it's a shame when you're happy
And you still look at me that way
There's no surf in Colorado anyway, yea
She never waved to me or said goodbye
One night she just left me and her behind

Remember the first time
God damn we got so high
She held me so close
That I thought that I might break
Now she's a mile high
And I'm on Texas time
She traded rattlesnakes
For bunny runs in Colorado Springs

YEA!!!!!!!!
There's no surf in Colorado anyway
And it's a shame when you're happy
And you still look at me that way
There's no surf in Colorado anyway, yea
She never waved to me or said goodbye
One night she just left me in the early night




Life After Lisa

Im waking up and bakin
watching the parade
Cos today's the day i got over you
takin out the trash and the pictures that i stashed
of the two of us in 1992
you stole my heart when eddie veder was king
i gave u a foot massage
i gave u my ring
u left me 4 a drummer coz u sed i couldnt sing
but thats ok

cos there'll be no more
mountain climbing in the rain
no more
long hair cloggin' up the drain
no more
life will never be the same
life after lisa's not so bad at all

saw you with the dude who gave us
our first tattoos
did he cover up my name
that was fast
can you believe that i'm alive
still not workin 9-5
and my little band is kickin some ass

so when you ask me if i hated you now
its not you its just all of the times i missed out
on sleeping with your roommate
every time you passed out
but thats okay

and now there's no more
mountain climbing in the rain
no more
long hair cloggin' up the drain
no more
life will never be the same
life after lisa's not so bad at all

i bet you're saying to yourself
that you'll find somebody else like me
but all i've got to say is there
ain't no f*cking way
that you're getting me to say i'm sorry
not today

no more
mountain climbing in the rain
no more
long hair cloggin up the drain
no more
life will never be the same

cleaning up the house again
listening to house of pain
having headaches in my brain
listening to you complain
shopping at the mall again
i'm outta rhymes i've gotta say
life after lisa's not so bad at all
not so bad at all

no more
mountain climbing in the rain
no more
long hair cloggin up the drain
no more
life will never be the same
life after lisa's not so bad at all
oh no not so bad at all




Where To Begin

Sail away
Sail away with me
I don't have a ship
But we can get one easily
Drift away
Drift away with me
In a raft we'll make of memories
On an ocean we can call forevermore

I wanna find
Peace of your mind
I wanna see
Your make believe
I don't wanna try so hard
I make it hard for you to breathe

Jump into the ocean
Leavin' on a notion
If you're caught up in the motion
Backtrack and do it again
And if you make it up
I could never get enough
Me and you together
But you've gotta tell me where to begin

Break away
Break away from me
No forget that
Just sit here and look at me
Summer's day
Summer every day
Watch the sunset come back up
And we know it's never goin' down again

I wanna find
Peace of your mind
I wanna see
Your make believe
I don't wanna try so hard
I make it hard for you to breathe

Jump into the ocean
Leavin' on a notion
If you're caught up in the motion
Backtrack and do it again
And if you make it up
I could never get enough
Me and you together
But you've gotta tell me where to begin

I've been savin' up
To buy more time with you
You've been livin' it up
With someone else
And that's ok
I know it
You know it too

Jump into the ocean
Leavin' on a notion
If you're caught up in the motion
Backtrack and do it again
And if you make it up
I could never get enough
Me and you together
But you've gotta tell me where to begin
Where to begin
You've gotta tell me where to begin




The Last Rock Show

The Last Rock Show

Stand in line behind me
We've got tons of time to
Let it all hang out
And cast the demons out.

Once we're in the roof falls
I heard that we have got to raise it up
And let the fucker burn.

And this is sure to take awhile
cause if we're going out, we're goin' out with style
So we all jump around, and we fall to the ground
Like it's the last rock show of our lives.




Self-Centered

I got it stuck in a bind
I dont even know why
It sucks to even try
but i wont try anymore
she took the afternoon train
to find a different plane
but life down the drain is better than being ignored

i think i'm taking a vacation now
(I'm on holiday)
maybe i won't rest 'til I've thrown it all away
I've got it down

gonna feel sorry for myself
i want to blame it on everyone else
i want to be self centered and make everybody feel sorry for me

Yeah

she sent a postcard again
she said she had a new friend
i hope that by the end he throws her heart on the floor
she said he's really ok
i really hope that he's gay
its not a nice thing to say
but i don't care anymore

i think i'm taking a vacation now
(I'm on holiday)
maybe i won't rest 'til I've thrown it all away
i've got it down

gonna feel sorry for myself
i want to blame it on everyone else
i want to be self centered and make everybody feel sorry for me

gonna feel sorry for myself
i want to blame it on everyone else
i want to be self centered and make everybody feel sorry for me

My leg fell asleep 'cause you layed on it
there's no reason to dwell on it
it's just not worth it
remember a year ago when we played in the snow
now get out of my head (get out of my head)

i want to feel sorry for myself
i want to blame it on everyone else
i want to be self centered and make everybody feel sorry for me

gonna feel sorry for myself
i want to blame it on everyone else
i want to be self centered and make everybody feel sorry for me

feel sorry (sorry sorry) for me
yeah, yeah, yeah




The Hard Way

The Hard Way

I'm moving in
She's moving out to Los Angeles
She's got a truck; she's got my stuff
Packed into it
Just seven months
Was just enough
Of putting up with me
Imagine that
A baseball bat upside her TV

she says she needs some therapy

Chorus:
You know it seemed so simple before
She could have asked
I would have given her anything
And now it's 1, 2, 3
Blame it all on me
And I had to find it out the hard way

She calls me up
She's breaking down
In Los Angeles
She misses home
She's all alone
She can't handle it
But seven months was just enough
Of putting up with her
You're brand new nose & bigger boobs
Don't change a thing

You need some therapy
I think you need some help

Chorus

She's got a lot to figure out
She's got a lot to think about
She's got a lot to forget about
She's got a lot to live without
So many things to miss about me

Chorus




Out The Window

Out The Window

You said to never ever come back
I wasn't sure exactly what you meant by that
I know that we have had some problems
But I've got solutions in my head

So I jumped out the window
And down the fire escape
Broke the window, who needs car keys anyway?
Climbed through the window, I thought led to your heart
Thrown out the window, there was nothing there to break my fall.
((Break my fall))

Sorry I sent you all the flowers
I heard your boyfriend wants to shove them up my ass
I never meant to cause you problems
But I've got solutions in my head.

So I jumped out the window
And down the fire escape
Broke the window, who needs car keys anyway?
Climbed through the window, I thought led to your heart
Thrown out the window, there was nothing there to break my fall.
((Break my fall))

You said it's over
You said never again
(Why does this happen all the time?)
You don't even want to be friends
(It makes you happy when I cry)
Now all I've got left is my sanity
Now all I've got left is my sanity
And I'm not sure how far it goes.
How far it goes.

So I jumped out the window
And down the fire escape
Broke the window, who needs car keys anyway?
Climbed through the window, I thought led to your heart
Thrown out the window, there was nothing there to break my fall.
((Break my fall))
Thrown out the window
((Break my fall))
Thrown out the window
((Break my fall))
Thrown out the window
((Break my fall))

So I jumped out the window
And down the fire escape
Broke the window, who needs car keys anyway?
Climbed through the window, I thought led to your heart
Thrown out the window, there was nothing there to break my fall.




Cold Shower Tuesdays

Her finger traced I love you
In the palm of my hand
That's still the only time
My belly's ever hit the floor
Like that

Your feet in my lap
We drove away the past
Knowing we would turn around again

Tell her I'm not sorry
Mention my Ferrari
Just don't tell her that
I miss her
She wanted in
I wanted out
And that's the last thing we talked about

Remember how our hands matched
Love lines, same size
I guess I should have checked
To see the life lines weren't in line

I call on the phone
You still felt alone
And talked about the songs that made you cry

Tell her I'm not sorry
Mention my Ferrari
Just don't tell her that
I miss her
She wanted in
I wanted out
And that's the last thing we talked about
She wanted in
I wanted out
And that's the last thing we talked about

Campfire cookies
And John Hughes movies
Junior mints
And cold shower Tuesdays
November shivers
And rear-view mirrors
And the little things like that
Little things like that

Tell her I'm not sorry
Mention my Ferrari
Just don't tell her that
I miss her
She wanted in
I wanted out
And that's the last thing we talked about
Campfire cookies
And John Hughes movies
Junior mints
And that's the last thing we talked about
November shivers
And rear-view mirrors
And the little things
And that's the last thing we talked about




Running From Your Dad

Remember the summer time we were swinging
On the front porch out in the rain
and It was Sunday you were all dressed up again
we made out under the window pane

Chorus
And I can still see your dad
Running after me with a shovel in his hand
I don't remember much after that
La la la la, la la la la la, Oh oh oh oh...
La la la la, la la la la, Oh oh oh oh...

Remember on Christmas Eve you were crying
I guess you didn't really like the gifts
Porno DVDs and see through underwear
Should have saved all that for your sis

Back to Chorus

So I guess I'll just run away, run away, run away
He's starting to catch up
Run away, run away
I think I might throw up
Run away, run away

Back to Chorus




Scaring Myself

Jaret: "What are you doin'?
Jaret: You've fallen apart in the last 20 seconds."
Gary: "Oops....I just was...."

She slams the front door
Cause she knows that I can't stand it
Gives me the finger
Cause she knows I'm wrapped around it
She calls me sweetheart
Cause she knows it makes me weak
She stepped in dog poo
And I'm still kissing her feet

Can you believe how this girl treats me like a king?
She took more than she gave to me
I gave my love, I got an STD
If she comes home, I hope that she'll marry me
I wanna tell her that it's over now
Hey look I'm arguing with myself
I think that my girlfriend is bad for my mental health
Now I'm scaring myself

The rollercoaster makes me sick
And she knows it
That's why she always insists that I go on it
She told her friends that I need therapy, yea
I need a self-help group or a lobotomy

Can you believe how this girl treats me like a king?
She took more than she gave to me
I gave my love, I got an STD
If she comes home, I hope that she'll marry me
I wanna tell her that it's over now
Hey look I'm arguing with myself
I think that my girlfriend is bad for my mental health
Now I'm scaring myself

I'm wakin' up
Gettin' out
Wakin' up
Gettin' out
I'm wakin' up
Gettin' out
I wanna tell her that it's over now
Hey look I'm arguing with myself
I think that my girlfriend is bad for my mental health

She took more than she gave to me
I gave my love, I got an STD
If she comes home, I hope that she'll marry me
I wanna tell her that it's over now
Hey look I'm arguing with myself
I think that my girlfriend is bad for my mental health
And now I'm really scaring myself




She's Got A Boyfriend Now

She's Got a Boyfriend Now
She used to be the happiest girl I knew
I remember seeing her laugh
I remember the time she cried
When tears filled her eyes
As we sang 'Love Song' by Tesla
Her smile is turning upside down
She's got a boyfriend now

Chorus:
She's got a boyfriend now
And it's hard to see
What she's got herself into
She's getting used to
The loneliness that's bottled up
Inside she knows
She knows she'll make it through the sad times
And all the bad times
Cuz it's up to her to make some sense somehow
She's got a boyfriend now

She always knew she'd find the right guy
To hold her through the night
Someone she'd take to meet her mom
And take her to see Britney Spears
Who knows if Clark Kent is a Superman?
Or if he's just an asshole
Leading on and on
And on and on
And on

Chorus

Why does it always seem to be
Guys like that always get to be the one
She thinks the world of
And why does it always seem to me
That girls like that can't ever find someone
Someone like me
And its hard to know the difference between inside and out
When she asks if I can mend her broken heart
I wouldn't know where to start.

She got what she always wanted
She got what she always wanted
And now

She's only crying on the inside

Chorus




Greatest Day

I've got the keys to the car
I'm goin' out on an afternoon vacation
They all know where I'm gonna go

The sun is shinin' down and
There's no one else around now
I wish you were here to hear me say
This is gonna be my greatest day

How far would I go
How long would I stay
To see it all
To carry it all back with me again
How hard would I try
Just to hear everybody say
This is gonna be my greatest day

Standin' here lookin' out on the world
For a second nobody's lookin' back at me
I never even notice where they go

The sun is shinin' down and
There's no one else around now
I wish you were here to hear me say
This is gonna be my greatest day

How far would I go
How long would I stay
To see it all
To carry it all back with me again
How hard would I try
Just to hear everybody say
This is gonna be my greatest day
My greatest day
My greatest day

I've got the keys to the car
I'm goin' out on an afternoon vacation
They all know where I'm gonna go

The sun is shinin' down and
There's no one else around now
Wish you were here to hear me say
To say
This is gonna be my greatest day
My greatest day
My greatest day

My greatest day
(How far would I go)
My greatest day
(How long would I stay)
My greatest day
(Just to carry it back with me again)
My greatest day
(How hard would I try)
My greatest day
(Just to hear everybody say)
This is gonna be my greatest day




Belgium (acoustic)

Lately I feel so small
Or maybe it's just that my bed has grown
I never noticed it before
But you were there
So how was I to know

That this single bed
Was always meant for two
Not just anyone
It was meant for
Me and you

And now you're half-way round the world
And I'm just a day behind
Nothing seems to fill the hole
That I have since you left my side
You'll always be my little girl
Though I can't hold you tonight
And now your halfway round the world
And I'm just a day behind

I wake up in the night
And I turn around and find that you're not there
I just like to watch you sleep and lay by you
I love to feel you near
I think I'm going crazy
Every day confusion starts to grow
I never noticed it before
But you were there so how was I to know
That this single bed
Was always meant for two
Not just anyone
It was meant for
Me and you

And now you're half-way round the world
And I'm just a day behind
Nothing seems to fill the hole
That I have since you left my side
You'll always be my little girl
Though I can't hold you tonight
And now your halfway round the world
And I'm just a day behind

Lately I feel so small
Or maybe it's just that my bed has grown
I never noticed it before
But you were there
So how was I to know
And now you're half-way round the world
And I'm just a day behind
Nothing seems to fill the hole
That I have since you left my side
You'll always be my little girl
Though I can't hold you tonight
And now your halfway round the world
And I'm just a day behind

Just a day behind
Just a day behind
Just a day behind
Just a day behind
