1.Make Yourself At Home
'Make it a note to take your pills,' she said
'I'll leave them on the table in the same brown bottle you
know.'
She said, 'It's good to have you home.'
The second that I smelt the scent of my own house I said it.
'Send just one postcard home,
And call as often as you can to tell us how it goes.
Let us know.'
'Make it a note to make a point.' he said
That's good advice I'll take it
Now, I'll start to use it, you know
Sentence, long messages
From me to you to let you know I'm ok
I'll let you know
I'm out making you proud
So don't wait up, I'll be home soon
I'm out of town for now
You're what makes it home that I'll come back to
'Make it a note to take your time,' they begged
'Take baby steps to everywhere, and come home in one piece to
us.'
You know, it's so good to be home
And know that when I hit the road
I'm thinking of you both, I miss you
'Send just one postcard home,
And call as often as you can to let us know how it goes.
Let us know.'
I'm out making you proud
So don't wait up, I'll be home soon
I'm out of town for now
You're what makes it home that I'll come back to
Thank you for everything
I'm out making you proud
So don't wait up, I'll be home soon
I'm out of town for now
You're what makes it home that I'll come back to
2.Selective
You've made quite a life for yourself
one better than you've dreamt
but it's weighing down
the sides of your mouth
to an appearing frown
there's more to it
than it might sound
sharpen your overacting skills
to cut through the tension
mark your words
with confidence：
selective attention
try and steady yourself
but with one hand down
losing balance
take a look at your hometown
you're a different person now
only one who hasn't changed
only one who's stayed the same
sharpen your overacting skills
to cut through the tension
mark your words
with confidence：
selective attention
Make it a point to appreciate the life you lead
don't rush the days you'll
wish they stayed for one year later
it's a tragic case of bad taste
but it's all concerning you
who truly can appreciate the
mess you've made
sharpen your overacting skills
to cut through the tension
mark your words
with confidence：
selective attention
3.Playing Favorites
I guess the most that I can do
Is make a call and tell you the truth
Sing the words in melody
And hope that you'll believe me
Here's another song for you
So this one this one makes two
I still don't know where to begin
I'll just leave it at this
I'm sure you always feel my eyes on you
But I hope that you will never feel unwanted
Wait for me to move out west
It's ok if you don't
I hope you know
You're my favorite thing
About the west coast
I wish I stayed
I hope you wait
So here I am
Counting down the days
Till california comes
This is the least that I can do
You know I'm bad at calling you
The best way I can extend
The lonely words I miss you
I'll say it but I'm sure you knew
You're what I look most forward to
Coming back to where I've been
I'll just leave it at this
I'm sure you always feel my eyes on you
But I hope that you will never feel unwanted
If you feel unwanted
Wait for me to move out west
It's ok if you don't
I hope you know
You're my favorite thing
About the west coast
I wish I stayed
I hope you wait
So here I am
Counting down the days
Till california comes
Till california comes
4.The Night Life
Last call everybody step up for another
The ring of the bell gives a yell
To the crowd that's behind you
Did she sweep you off your feet
Are you deciding not to leave without her
Without her tonight
Break down all the chairs on the tables
And my minds on you
Give up and Get into the van and go away again
Because the things you leave in the last town
Are getting out of hand
Im sorry
Im sorry about it
At least you lived to talk about it
At least you got your health
At least it made you feel alive
Oh well, you wish you weren't right now
Tap out when the weight on you're shoulders comes down on you
You're gasping for air, and its just not fair
He gets to be with her
Here you sit trying hard,
To forget something your thinking of
Im sorry about it
Do you miss her so bad it hurts
At least you lived to talk about it
At least you got your health
At least it made you feel alive
Oh well, you wish you weren't right now
You're all caught up
After sleeping for days
Makes up for nights you spent awake
It will take awhile to see that smile
That's laid dormant since she's gone
You're all caught up
After sleeping for days
Makes up for nights you spent awake
It will take awhile to see that smile
That's laid dormant since she's gone
At least you lived to talk about it
At least you got your health
At least it made you feel alive
Oh well, you wish you weren't right now
5.Best Of Me
Tell me what you thought about
When you were gone and so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me
We got older but we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
Here we lay again
On two separate beds
Riding phone lines
To meet a familiar voice
And pictures drawn from memory
We reflect on miscommunication
And misunderstandings
And missing each other too
Much to have had to let go
We turn our music down
And we whisper
Say what your thinking right now
Tell me what you thought about
When you were gone and so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me
We got older but we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
Jumping to conclusions
Made me fall away from you
I'm so glad that the truth
Has brought back together me and you
We're sitting on the ground
And we whisper
Say what your thinking outloud
Tell me what you thought about
When you were gone and so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me
We got older but we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
We turn our music down
And we whisper
We're sitting on the ground
And we whisper
We turn our music down
We're sitting on the ground
And next time I'm in town
We will kiss girl
We will kiss girl
Tell me what you thought about
When you were gone and so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me
We got older but we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we wont
Feeling that we cant
We're not ready to give up
We got older but we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
6.Lasting Impressions
I'll wait til the clock strikes a nerve to spend some time with
you
I can't stand to depend on the shadow I cast alone when we
should
For the sake of making a statement
Let's make our presence known
Let's show them what were made of
We'll show up in our outfits we planned ahead
To meet the qualifications for a special occasion
Today is your day today is our day
Making up for lost time
Making a scene oh yeah
You've made a lasting impression
And if it doesn't feel right
Then I just can't go wrong
I've been sleeping with the lights on
So if I wake in the night
Your picture is clearly in sight
So let's meet at the mouth for a kiss
That's been so long overdue
No thanks to the two thousands of miles
And the touring we always do
(It makes me miss you more)
You've made a lasting impression
And if it doesn't feel right
Then I just can't go wrong
I've been sleeping with the lights on
So if I wake in the night
Your picture is clearly in sight
I could explode
Cuz you just never, you never know
It would suit the moment perfectly
You've made a lasting impression
And if it doesn't feel right
Then I just can't go wrong
I've been sleeping with the lights on
So if I wake in the night
You've made a lasting impression
And if it doesn't feel right
Then I just can't go wrong
I've been sleeping with the lights on
So if I wake in the night
Your picture is clearly in sight
We can't go wrong...
We can't go wrong...
