2.Maybe It's Just Me

Maybe it's just me, but you seem finally happy
I don't think I've seen your face just glow like a neon sign
And maybe we should be alone for ever after,
Cause even though the nights are long
At least I'll make it another day

Cause I can't live if you're not happy
I can't live if you cry,
but I can live without you if it makes you smile

And maybe things got weird after all that went down
Things were oh so clear,
that I could never get this right
So tell me what your plans are
And tell me what you're doing
The only thing I'll hold against me is a picture of you tonight

Cause I can't live if you're not happy
I can't live if you cry,
but I can live without you if it makes you smile
And I can't wait to see you rise
and I can't wait for you to shine
But I can wait for you if all you need is...

Time for you to think things over
Time to talk the drama down
It's not a contest of who'll try harder
Or who'll cross the finish line

And I can't live if you're not happy
I can't live if you cry,
but I can live without you if it makes you smile
And I can't wait to see you rise
and I can't wait for you to shine
But I can wait for you if all you need is time


3.#1 Summer Jam

Don't put another thing on my plate
My brain is so full of your face
I ate I counted the hours
Since the minute that I drove by you

And I got a scar where she left me
Don't think I'll see her around

Come back Sunday (come back Sunday)
Everyday's a Monday
Now that you're gone
Come back Sunday (come back Sunday)
Before I got a minute
The minute was gone
Think you kinda dug me
But other guys are up above me
Trying to get to you cuz I let you go

I like to think I'm a pretty slick guy
But something in the sunlight between your thighs
Turned me into mush with a certified crush on you

And oh, what a bore I must be
You're so far ahead of my world

Come back Sunday (come back Sunday)
Everyday's a Monday
Now that you're gone
Come back Sunday (come back Sunday)
Before I got a minute
The minute was gone
Think you kinda dug me
But other guys are up above me
Trying to get to you cuz I let you go


And it's never been so weird
To be at the bottom looking up
And I went into this movie of blood and guts
Thinking I was the shit, I was all grown up
And I wonder, if you wonder, what we could be

And I got a scar where she left me
Don't think I'll see her around

Come back Sunday (come back Sunday)
Everyday's a Monday
Now that you're gone
Come back Sunday (come back Sunday)
Before I got a minute
The minute was gone
Think you kinda dug me
But other guys are up above me
Trying to get to you cuz I let you go


Come back Sunday , will you ganna run away
Everyday's a Monday
Now that you're gone
Come back Sunday , will you ganna get away
Before I got a minute
The minute was gone
Think you kinda dug me
But other guys are up above me
Trying to get to you cuz I
--- let you go


4.So At Last


5.Uncomfortably Numb

Detox, Detox where are you?
You coulda saved me from a disaster
What with all these cell phone numbers
It's gonna be weeks cleaning off my dresser

I love it I hate it
I can't live without
I love it I hate it, baby

The first time's the worst time
then you become so uncomfortably numb
that you can't hide the fake smile
Stare into space with a look on your face
that says: gotta get outta Los Angeles
So blind I can't see
Gotta get outta Los Angeles
Gotta get Los Angeles
Outta me

Sober sober, send yourself over
I did it again last night
I wasted a good conversation
'bout music and God
on an outta work coked up, A&R guy

I love it I hate it
I can't live without
I love it I hate it, baby

The first time's the worst time
then you become so uncomfortably numb
that you can't hide the fake smile
Stare into space with a look on your face
that says: gotta get outta Los Angeles
So blind I can't see
Gotta get outta Los Angeles
Gotta get Los Angeles
Outta me

The first time's the worst time
then you become so uncomfortably numb
that you can't hide the fake smile
Stare into space with a look on your face
that says: gotta get outta Los Angeles
So blind I can't see
Gotta get outta Los Angeles
Gotta get Los Angeles
Outta me

7.Dont Move

Good morning sunlight
As I get used to you
It's all gonna be all right
I did all I can do
And as I'm waiting for those eyes
To say what's on your mind
I finally think I've found the words to say...

So baby don't move at all
Cause you're about to break my fall
Stay where you are, staring at the stars
Don't ever move at all

So many black and white
Are made to be so blue
We've all got our wars to fight
But I won't fight with you
If I could just get your attention
I'd never let it go
Until you've felt what I am gonna say....

So baby don't move at all
Cause you're about to break my fall
Stay where you are, staring at the stars
Don't ever move at all

Oh, why's it gotta be that everybody's gotta see the sadness
Everybody's lonely, we don't have to be lonely baby, no baby
Oh, I can move you like an earthquake
Listen to me as my hands shake
Cause I want you, I need you
I can't live without you, baby

Baby don't move at all
Cause you're about to break my fall
Stay where you are, staring at the stars
Don't ever move at all

Don't ever move at all


8.Lights Out

There was a blackout in my heart in the summer of '03
I was walking over bridges
Tryin' to find my way to me
When the problem was restored
I can't describe the damage done
This would be the first time
And no it wasn't fun

All these aging hipsters with another axe to grind
So put me on the battle field
Where hardcore goes to die

Can I get a hell yeah
(If you're as lost as I am)
Yeah dawg
(If you hate that expression)
Doggin' on others is now my profession
Since you blew the lights out in my heart

I'm feeling kinda bored so let's go charge up the car
Let's all put on those trucker hats
And head out to a bar
We'll end up in the standard in the bathroom
Doing coke this is very Hollywood
And yeah I get the joke

Everything tastes better
When the novacaine sets in
So have a second helping of the ones you call your friends

Can I get a hell yeah
(If you're as lost as I am)
Yeah dawg
(If you hate that expression)
Doggin' on others is now my profession
Since you blew the lights out in my heart

Why don't ya all f-f-f-fade away

Vodka rhymes with lotsa
Bourbon rhymes with hurtin'
These are things I'm gonna feel
This much I know is certain

Can I get a hell yeah
(If you're as lost as I am)
Yeah dawg
(If you hate that expression)
Doggin' on others is now my profession
Since you blew the lights out in my heart
Since you blew the lights out in my heart

Since you blew the lights out in my
Since you blew the lights out in my
Since you blew the lights out in my .. heart

9.Best Thing You Never Had

What goes around comes back around
Hey my baby

What goes around comes back around
Hey my baby

I say what goes around comes back around
Hey my baby

What goes around comes back around...

There was a time

I thought, that you did everything right

No lies, no wrong

Boy I, must've been outta my mind

So when I think of the time that I almost loved you

You showed you ass and I saw the real you


Thank God you blew it Thank God I dodged the bullet

I'm so over you so baby good lookin' out


I wanted you bad I'm so through with it

Cuz honestly you turned out to be the ( Best thing I never had )

You turned out to be the ( Best thing I never had )

And I'm gon' always be the ( Best thing you never had )

I bet it sucks to be you right now

So sad, you're hurt Boo hoo, oh, did you expect me to care?

You don't deserve my tears

I guess that's why they ain't there

When I think that there was a time that I almost loved you

You showed you ass and I saw the real you

I know you want me back It's time to face the facts

That I'm the one that's got away Lord knows that it would take
another place

Another time, another world, another life

Thank God I found the good in goodbye

I used to want you so bad


Goes around, comes back around goes around, comes back around

Bet it sucks to be you right now Goes around, comes back around

Bet it sucks to be you right now Goes around, comes back around

Bet it sucks to be you right now


out to be the
the
you

11.Promise

Well I fumbled for a pencil
And my I'm so sorry pad
And I wrote until I sprained my stupid brain

Well you know that there's a reason
I made this up so fast
I though I'd never get a chance to say
What's on my mind, I'm never kind
When my vocabulary's secondary to a bottle of wine

But I promise I can love you
Just like a man
And I promise I can hold you
Like nobody can

I never knew the difference between bullshit and sincere
As long as it sounded good
While coming out
And I can't blame it on my father
He gave me my 1st beer
And he held my head back as I puked it out

What was I saying, there I go playing

The game I know so well
Talking about myself when it should be you

But I promise I can love you
Just like a man
And I promise I can hold you
Like nobody can


12.Thank-You Note

As she woke up for the final injection
The sickness was hard
When there was no one around
And it spread to her hands
And it spread to her legs
And they felt like the mud from the pond on the ground
That she played in as a kid
What she did to deserve this
While her friends were at parties
She was on the floor, with a mixture of blood
Sweat and tears by her head
That's when she said, can I be dead?
Yeah I've heard that before

So as I'm writing this thank you note
There's just one thing she wanted you to know
Just before she had to go, she said that she liked you

Just hung the painting that we found of London
I never saw the beauty of that city before
As it sat in our basement next to board games and year books
With a faint smell of must, dust and dog food on the floor

So as I'm writing this thank you note
There's just one thing she wanted you to know
Just before she had to go, she said that she liked you
