Wonders Of The Younger

Plain White T's Wonders Of The Younger Lyrics
1.Irrational Anthem

I remember wishing I was older
always something big around the corner
but as the years go by I'm growing younger
open eye and head still filled with wonder
....wonder ohhhhh .....ummmmm...ohhhh

Pledge of allegiance everybody stand up
this is a Irrational Anthem
we don't care if they don't understand us
because this is our Irrational...
Irrational Anthem ohhhhhh ohhhhhh

Let your mind go anywhere it whats to
make your wildest wish and watch it come true
some how somewhere we forgot
cowboys Indians astronauts
all the dreams we could not hold on to
we could not Ohhhh

Nothing worse then normal
theres no fun in one day
as everyone else gets older
I refuse to change
we are strong a mile long
who side are you on


2.Boomerang

The fire was out
But then the phone rang
And all of the heat came back again
As much as I try
Your hard to resist
And all it takes is just one kiss
And I'm finally in your hands
I'm under your spell
You sent me spinning

You pull me in close
You throw me away
I keep coming back like a boomerang
You tell me to go
You beg me to stay
I keep coming back like a boomerang
Around around around back again
Around around around back again

You treated me like I'm your little toy
You tell me I'm not like other boys
And next thing I know you toss me aside
And you don't even bother with goodbye
But when you say hello
I can't ignore you
You sent me spinning

Boom boom boom now my heart is racing
Boom boom boom after you I'm chasing
Boom boom boom you got to catch me when I fall
You sent me spinning


3.Welcome To Mystery

Imagine a place you can always escape to
An island off the coast of nowhere
A new destination of your own creation
Just waiting till you choose to go there

Blue tree tops and velvet skies
Blue ready to blow your mind
Oooo
This is a place where your mind can escape
All the problems today and go far, far away
This is a time with no history
Welcome to mystery

Imagine a city where everythingAs pretty
And you sir, you rule the kingdom
You call the shots you can do what you want to
Oh just imagine the freedom

Blue tree tops and velvet skies
Blue ready to blow your mind
Oooo
This is a place where your mind can escape
All the problems today and go far, far away
This is a time with no history
Welcome to mystery

Blue tree tops and velvet skies
Blue ready to blow your mind
Oooo

Imagine a room where the flowers they bloom
Through the cracks in the floor and the ceiling
Just you and the missus and roses scented kisses
My, what a wonderful feeling

Oooo
This is a place where your mind can escape
All the problems today and go far, far away
This is a time with no history
Welcome to mystery

This is a place where your mind can escape
All the problems today and go far, far away
This is a time with no history
Feel no misery
Come and visit me
Welcome to mystery


4.Rhythm Of Love

My head is stuck in the clouds
She begs me to come down
Says 'Boy quit foolin' around'
I told her 'I love the view from up here

The warm sun and wind in my ear
We'll watch the world from above
As it turns to the rhythm of love'
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the Music low and sway to the rhythm of love
My heart beats like a drum
A guitar string to the strum
A beautiful song to be sung
She's got blue eyes deep like the sea
That roll back when she's laughing at me
l
She rises up like the tide
The moment her lips meet mine
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the Music low and sway to the rhythm of love
When the moon is low
We can dance in slow motion
And all your tears will subside
All your tears will dry
And long after I've gone
You'll still be humming along
And I will keep you in my mind
The way you make love so fine
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the music low and sway to the rhythm of love


5.Map Of The World

Oohh, Oh woah oh
Oh, oh woah

The starss at night, burn so bright
but where do i fit in
am i too small, to matter at al
oh where do i fit in

am i a dot on the map of the world
just a spot on the map of the world
when i imagine the whole universe
oh where do i fit in

the wind comes through, singing the blues
but where do i fit in
the iron trees dance with the breeze
but where do i fit in

am i a dot on the map of the world
just a spot on the map of the world
when i imagine the whole universe
oh where do i fit in

Wish i may, wish i might
find some answers here tonight
tell me is there something out there
is there more than i can see
i don't know what i believe
tell me is there something out there
anything out there

am i a dot on the map of the world
just a spot on the map of the world
when i imagine the whole universe
oh where do i fit in
am i dot on the map of the world(map of the world)
just a spot on the map of the world(map of the world)
when i imagine the whole universe
where do we all fit in

oh woah(woahh) oh woah(woahh) ohh


6.Killer

If I was a pirate sailing the seas
Would you come and pillage the village with me?
We'll bury the treasure and go down together
If I was a pirate...

If I was an outlaw robbin' a bank
would you be my Bonnie, help me get away
Would you pull the trigger and blow 'em away
If I was an outlaw...

How bad would I have to be?
How bad...?

If I was a vampire roamin' the night
Would you be my prey and put your neck on the line?
Live in the shadows and die in the night?
If I was a vampire...

If I was a wanted man on the run
Would you take a fall if we were under the gun?
And Drop down beside me in the nooses they've hung?
If I was a wanted man on the run...

How bad would I have to be?
How bad?
If I was the worst man in the world
Would you still be my girl?
The scariest monster you ever seen
Would you still love me?

If I was killer with blood on my hands
would you be my alibi and lie on the stand?
Swear on your life that I'm an innocent man?
If I was a killer....

How bad would I have to be?
How bad?
Oooooo.....


7.Last Breath

And with my last breath I surrender to your attack.
'Cause I would rather sacrifice my spine
if that would get you off my back.
You're somewhere between the girl of my dreams
and the girl of my nightmares
(girl of my nightmares).
And it's not fair.

Because I'm nothing but good to you,
And you're nothing but wrong for me.
So how do I get back to the good times?
And how do I see you in a new light?
Because the harder I try, the less we feel right for each other.
How do I get back to the good times?

And with my last breath I'll thank you for choking me
Because I'd rather suffocate than have you breathing down my
neck.
Flowers and trees we planted the seeds,
But nothing will grow there.
'Cause we're going nowhere.

Because I'm nothing but good to you,
And you're nothing but wrong for me.
So how do I get back to the good times?
And how do I see you in a new light?
Because the harder I try, the less we feel right for each other.
How do I get back to the good times?

What am I fighting for?
What am I fighting for?
What am I fighting for,
If it ain't you?

What am I fighting for?
What am I fighting for?
What am I fighting for,
If it ain't you?

What am I fighting for?
What am I fighting for?
What am I fighting for,
If it ain't you?

What am I trying for?
What am I crying for?
What am I dying for,
If it ain't you?


8.Broken Record

It was summer love,
She was like a drug,
Bit me like a club,
Everything was alright,

I was James Dean,
She was Billie Jean,
California Queen,
Everything was alright,

From the bad beat,
To the back scene,
In the heat heat,
Everything was alright,

Lovers and gears of common bomb,
She'll always be my favorite song
She was silent gold,
She was Rock'n'roll
I should have never let her go go go

Kiss me goodbye and I knew it was final,
Got in her daddy's car and she was gone like vinyl,
Her memory pops up when I least expect it,
It's stuck in my head like a broken record,
Pa pa pa pa pa Broken Record,
P-p-pa pa pa Broken record,
A broke, a broke, a broken record,
P-p-pa pa pa Broken record,

She was hot file,
She was low file,
Burning up July,
Everything was alright,

Let me with a kiss,
I wonder where she is,
If that she ever miss me,
Oh oh oh,

I wished I could find her,
Ooh oh oh,
Cause I need to remind her,
Ooh oh oh,

Skip skip through my head,
Skip skip through my head,
Skip skip skip through my head all day.


9.Our Song

Sitting on this white bed its not the right bed, cause its not
our bed
All alone in this hotel room,
feels like a hell room, cause its not our room
I try to watch some TV, but its not easy, cause your not near me

I'm just feeling lonely I wanna go home

So if you hear me singing this song
I know your out there singing along
Its a love song and its the right song cause its our song

Trying to kill all my time all day and night time until its our
time
If I had it my way I'd be on the highway straight to our
driveway

I cant wait until I see you and get to feel you and kiss the
real you
You know I need you, I wanna go home

So if you hear me singing this song
I know your out there singing along
Its a love song and its the right song cause its our song

I close my eyes(I close my eyes)
And there you are
Turn off the light(turn off the light)
And there you are
And in my dreams(and in my dreams)
We dance and sing to each other all night long and this is our
song

I just want to make you happy
So come and grab me and love me madly
I want you so badly... I'm coming home

So if you hear me singing this song
I know your out there singing along
Its a love song and its the right song

If you hear me singing this song
I know your out there singing along
Its a love song and its the right song
Its the don't give up without a fight song
Its an everything is alright song... cause its our song

11.Cirque Dans La Rue

Take me to the big show
take me anywhere but here
put me in the front row
make my problems disappear

Trapeze high wire
without a safety net
for the price of admission
I want to witness life or death

All the pretty girls get cut in half while the sad clowns make
us laugh

I wanna make friends with the freaks
I wanna throw down with the clowns that I meet
I wanna have a party in the middle of the street
I wanna have a party in the middle of the street

I wanna have a party in the middle of the street
and ride all the ponies and the crazy acrobats
and bearded ladies and the fire breathers
all the people just like me

Hey! Hey!

Are you ready to risk it all
and be a human cannonball
sharpen all those knives
and throw 'em at the fool against the wall
We're all against that wall

I wanna make friends with the freaks
I wanna throw down with the clowns that I meet
I wanna have a party in the middle of the street
I wanna have a party in the middle of the street

I wanna have a party in the middle of the street
and ride all the ponies and the crazy acrobats
and bearded ladies and the fire breathers
all the people just like me

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls
come one, come all to the Cirque dans la rue
check your troubles at the door, you don't need them anymore
leave reality outside, and come along for the ride
just remember, while you're watching us, do the things that we
do

We're watching you

All the pretty girls get cut in half while the sad clowns make
us laugh
All the pretty girls get cut in half while the sad clowns make
us laugh
I wanna make friends with the freaks
I wanna throw down with the clowns that I meet
I wanna have a party in the middle of the street
I wanna have a party in the middle of the street

I wanna have a party in the middle of the street
and ride all the ponies and the crazy acrobats
and bearded ladies and the fire breathers
all the people just like me
just like me
I wanna have a party in the middle of the street
I wanna have a party in the middle of the street

I wanna have a party in the middle of the street
and ride all the ponies and the crazy acrobats
and bearded ladies and the fire breathers
all the people just like me
All the pretty girls get cut in half while the sad clowns make
us laugh


12.Body Parts

My heart was talking to my head
Said 'I've loved once. I'll never love again.'
And my head at this replied,
'I'll miss her too. She was easy on the eyes.'

And now all they do is look around for you
And every night with their lids closed tight
They're lost in dreams, but they'll awake and see
You lying next to me.

My feet could feel it in their soles
We've gone too far, and we'll never make it home.
And these hands, they felt the same
They held her once but they let her slip away.

And now all I do is look around for you
And every night with my eyes closed tight
I'm lost in dreams, but I'll awake and see
You lying next to me.

If there's one thing I've learned, it's how easy the tables
turn.
And if there's one thing I know, it's the fine art of letting
go.

My heart was talking to my head
Said 'I've loved once. I'll never love again.'

And now all I do is look around for you
And every night with my eyes closed tight
I'm lost in dreams but I'll awake and see
You lying next to me.


13.Make It Up As You Go

I don't care where you're from
If you're smart or you're dumb
If you wanna be a bad guy or Mr. Right
I don't care what you say
I'mma go my own way
You go yours
And maybe we'll meet up someday

Make it up
(Make it up)
As you go
(As you go)
Future's wide open
Nothing's written in stone
(Make it up)
Make it up
(As you go)
As you go
Future's wide open
Nothing's written in stone

I don't care what you think
I'mma do my own thing
Cut my own hair
Don't care if you like it
Just a matter of taste
And all the time you waste
Will get you there in fashionable time

Make it up
(Make it up)
As you go
(As you go)
Future's wide open
Nothing's written in stone
(Make it up)
Make it up
(As you go)
As you go
Future's wide open
Nothing's written in stone
Better make it up as you go

There's no need for lies
They have begun when your eyes meet the sun
We don't need any roads
Put your feet on the ground
And forget what you know
Don't make it down
Make it up as you go

I can't tell you what's best
I don't know what comes next
All I know is that I don't know anything
All I got is today, and I prefer it that way
Make a plan, but I know it's gonna change
And that's okay

Make it up
(Make it up)
As you go
(As you go)
Future's wide open
Nothing's written in stone
(Make it up)
Make it up
(As you go)
As you go
Future's wide open
Nothing's written in stone

(Make it up)
Make it up
(As you go)
As you go
Future's wide open
Nothing's written in stone
Better make it up as you go
Better make it up as you go
Better make it up as you go
Better make it up as you go


14.Wonders Of The Younger

Race-cars and spaceships and carnival rides
Ghosts in the graveyard, they come out at night
These are the wonders of the younger

Daydreams of castle and sad crystal balls
While your heroes on posters stand guard on your walls
These are the wonders of the younger

And I wonder why we just leave it all behind
And I wonder how we could all go back right now

Werewolves and vampires are out for the kill
If none of them catch you, the Bogeyman will
These are the wonders of the younger

Walk in the plank of an old pirate ship
With a fistful of gold and kiss on your lips
These are the wonders of the younger

And I wonder why we just leave it all behind
And I wonder how we could all go back right now

Click your heels, close your eyes
Make a wish and wave goodbye
Fly away, it's not too late
Change your mind

Now numbers and figures take up all my time
How did this much of my life pass me by?
I miss the wonders of the younger
