1.From States Away
2.Take Me
These stars have aligned for one more moment on this 4th of July
Lime lights guide us to where we are destined tonight
As we walk this path something just feels all right
Not knowing where we're going just following skylines
Under these fireworks and city lights
All before you realized that you caught my eye
I'd imagine that you were mine tonight
Thinking back sparks a bigger flame every time
Coming across the field I catch a glimpse of you
Finally working up my courage if you only knew
I can't believe you said yes all my dreams are coming true
It almost seems like forever since I've been with you
Under these fireworks and city lights
All before you realized that you caught my eye
I'd imagine that you were mine tonight
Thinking back sparks a bigger flame every time
Take Me, Take, Take Me
Lend me your heart
Take Me, Take, Take Me
I won't let you down
You can trust me oh just believe
You're all I've ever wanted since the beginning
Under these fireworks and city lights
All before you realized that you caught my eye
I'd imagine that you were mine tonight
Thinking back sparks a bigger flame every time
3.The Truth Is...
I've given up everything for this
No job no car no sign of my friends
And I could care less if they think I can make it
So many people live their lives afraid of being outdone
But records are meant to be broken
Why keep score if no ones supposed to win
I don't believe in what goes up must come down
They're words of wisdom from a coward staring up from the ground
I'm not a doctor, a pilot, a lawyer, marine
But I'm the best damn me they've ever seen
I'm gonna plan my life accordingly
Say what you will
I've got my head up in the clouds
My past lies out on the curb
In a box labeled 'useless shit'
Thrown away all I've ever known
Just to find my place and a perfect world
Whose to say lifes lived a certain way
When the hand you're delts not worth betting
Everything still seems to fall in place
I don't believe in what goes up must come down
They're words of wisdom from a coward staring up from the ground
I'm not a doctor, a pilot, a lawyer, marine
But I'm the best damn me they've ever seen
I'm gonna plan my life accordingly
Say what you will
I've got my head up in the cloud
The truth is...
You won't care if I don't make it
But in my opinion, failures not an option
I don't believe in what goes up must come down
They're words of wisdom from a coward staring up from the ground
I'm not a doctor, a pilot, a lawyer, marine
But I'm the best damn me they've ever seen
I'm gonna plan my life accordingly
Say what you will
I've got my head up in the cloud
4.Together and Tonight
I'm okay, I'm doing just fine,
everyone back home has finally moved on.
I know it's been awhile but
these highways lines just got me thinking,
I thought I'd let you know.
No matter where we go, or what we do;
You'll affect me more than you could ever know.
Together and tonight, I wish that we could turn back time.
Together and tonight, I wish that we could turn back time.
You brought us together once again,
there's an empty space to fill this time.
It'll have to take some getting used too.
Everyone I know is not the same without you.
And even though that you're gone, you'll always be my
inspiration.
Together and tonight, I wish that we could turn back time.
Together and tonight, I wish that we could turn back time.
5.Subject to Change
I enjoy the company lately but
You and I are a crowd so I hope
You can understand that tonight
I wanna be with an old friend I've been missing
If I hold this in just one more day
I'm pretty sure I'm bound to break
I've waited way too long to get this off my chest
(But I know!)
I've been barking up the same damn tree
for the past two years
And maybe this time it's no one else's fault
But my own
Believe me I'm sorry if you took things too personally
I don't know where I've been for these past few months
I can't believe that I got this low
I've listened to the 'Upsides' B-Side
Looking for the answers to what you've been asking
I've been preaching 'Keep your Head Up, Kid!'
When all along I've had mine buried in the sand and
I think thats got to do with everything we never talked about
People constantly change all around me
The friends I had are completely different now
They've all been hyped up on shit and its making me sick
It's getting painful to watch them fail
I've been tracing these sidewalks
Until these side streets got the best of me
I'm a sucker for memories
(And the way things used to be)
I don't know where I've been for these past few months
I can't believe that I got this low
I've listened to the 'Upsides' B-Side
Looking for the answers to what you've been asking
I've been preaching 'Keep your Head Up, Kid!'
When all along I've had mine buried in the sand and
I think that's got to do with everything we never talked about
I think I've gotten better at letting shit go
Like that time down on market
Where we told Sixx I'm sorry
Or that time that Mike B. stopped calling completely
But let's be honest
Who The Fuck Am I Kidding？
6.Need I Remind You
I wish time was on our side
But your clock hands have got the best of me
I only hope that when I come back
you'll finally be ready for me
And I hope and I pray that you're sorry
And I hope that you know that I'm sorry
Cos I never thought I would be here
No I never thought I would be here
And I hope and I pray that you're sorry
And I hope that you know that I'm sorry
Well maybe this could be our year
So this is it, I'm coming home
I wonder if you spent this time alone
I'm the only one who cares
Well maybe I'm better on my own
And I hope and I pray that you're sorry
And I hope that you know that I'm sorry
Cos I never thought I would be here
No I never thought I would be here
And I hope and I pray that you're sorry
And I hope that you know that I'm sorry
I don't think this will be our year
I'm going to take the time to remind you
When you act like this, I despise you
I wrote this to let you know
I'm going to use this time to forget you
Cos I wish that I never met you
I wrote this to let you know
That I'm better off on my own
This was never my plan
But I hope that we could become friends
It wasn't you, it was me, I'll take the blame
Well you can go back to hell
Every word you say was a lie, I can tell
It wasn't me, it was you, so here's the blame
As a song in your name
I'm going to take the time to remind you
When you act like this, I despise you
I wrote this to let you know
I'm going to use this time to forget you
Cos I wish that I never met you
I wrote this to let you know
That I'm better off on my own
I wrote this to let you know
That I'm better off on my own
7.Seasons
Go ahead and take a walk in my shoes
Maybe you'll find what I've been looking for
Cause living now at the end of time
Doesn't seem so bad when we've got nothing left to lose
I'm changing with the seasons
First sign of spring I'll be just fine
The sun only shines on paradise
And maybe we'll get there someday
But for now just take my word
Cause this world's an ugly place
So don't change now
Please stay the same
I can't keep living with my back against the wall
And I can't lie to myself forever
Even if every step forward is five steps back
At least I'm getting somewhere
I'm changing with the seasons
First sign of spring I'll be just fine
I don't know where I've been for these past few months
I can't believe that I got this low
I've been preaching keep your head up kid'
When all along I've had mine buried in the sand
And I don't know where I've been for these past few months
I can't believe that I got this low
I've listened to the upsides, beside
Looking for the answers
The sun only shines on paradise
And maybe we'll get there someday
But for now just take my word
Cause this world's an ugly place
So don't change now
Please stay the same
8.What You Make Of It
9.Six Ways To Lie
Twenty percent of this mess left behind
and this half assed song to remember you by
I'll be sure to send you photos of all these clear skies
Lately I've been grinding my teeth to the gums
trying to understand your logic
And you know I'm scared to death
To know this was nothing more than your mid-life crisis
We sat through your lectures of bullshit
Six promises never kept
And now I'm bored to death in this waiting room
These smoke and mirrors are suffocating
So here you go
You get what you've earned
Twenty percent of this mess left behind
and this half assed song to remember you by
I'll be sure to send you photos of all these clear skies
Everything gone in the blink of an eye
If we pass on the street I won't give you the time
I'll be sure to send you photos of all these clear skies
Lately I've been grinding my teeth to the gums
I try to understand your logic
But now I think it's safe to say
It was nothing more than your mid-life crisis
So here I'm sitting on the edge of my seat
Trying to find the right words to say
Why don't you shut your mouth and listen
I'm sorry but all your smoke and mirrors were suffocating
(were suffocating)
So here we go now
(So here we go now)
You get what you've earned
(You get what you've earned)
Twenty percent of this mess left behind
and this half assed song to remember you by
I'll be sure to send you photos of all these clear skies
Everything gone in the blink of an eye
If we pass on the street I won't give you the time
I'll be sure to send you photos of all these clear skies
Write me once a week to let me know what you're up to
Please don't call, I'm pretty sure that you want to
You're lacking in a little something we call heart
(You're lacking in a little something we call heart)
Write me once a week to let me know what you're up to
Please don't call, I'm pretty sure that you want to
You're lacking in a little something we call heart
Twenty percent of this mess left behind
and this half assed song to remember you by
I'll be sure to send you photos of all these clear skies
Everything gone in the blink of an eye
If we pass on the street I won't give you the time
I'll be sure to send you photos of all these clear skies
10.I Don't Like You,Whatsoever
11.Some Kids Just Can't Hang
So this is what best friends do
They cut the ties and live the lives of everyone around you
It's no surprise, I guess it's true
They don't make em like they used to
Don't mistake my happiness for bitterness
Because the truth is
I'd rather pretend
that I don't know you then to ever have to admit I ever knew you
at all
Living in this frame doesn't seem so bad when you can't see from
the outside in
So this is what best friends do
They cut the ties and live the lives of everyone around you
Its no surprise, I guess it's true
They don't make em like they used to
Watch who you call your friends
Watch who you call your friends
They don't make em like they used to
Watch who you call your friends
Watch who you call your friends
They don't make em like they used to
Now I lay me down to sleep
I told the Lord your soul is cheap
I'm every thing you wish you were
And everything you'll never be
So cover me in dirt and sand
I'll rest my head on top these hands
I sized this grave for comfort, space
You can't accept you've been replaced
I'm buried treasure
You can't accept you've been replaced
I'm buried treasure
You can't accept you've been replaced
So this is what best friends do
They cut the ties and live the lives of everyone around you
Its no surprise, I guess it's true
They don't make em like they used to
Watch who you call your friends
Watch who you call your friends
They don't make em like they used to
Fuck you and all your friends
Fuck you and all your friends
They don't make em like they used to
12.Head Up,Kid!
