1.Best Friend

You're my best friend,
but then you died,
when i was 23 and you were 25
you're my best friend,
but then you died,

and how will i survive, survive, survive, survive?
oh how will i survive, survive, survive, survive?

And every day, i waited for you,
and every day, on the top of your car,
every day, i waited for you,
and every day, on the hood of your car,

I had a dream of you,
you were drifting away,
you were sad,
you always would drift away,
and i know you're going to be okay,

cos i can see it in your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes,
and i know i wanna survive, survive, survive, survive

And every day, i waited for you,
and every day, on the top of your car,
every day, i waited for you,
and every day, on the hood of your car,

And every day, i waited for you,
and every day, on the top of your car,
every day, i waited for you,
and every day, on the hood of your car,


2.Me And The Moon

Darling, you can be so unforgiving,
you can be so unloving,
you can be misunderstanding
but i don't know how to feel without your love...

So tell me what to do do do do dodododo do do
It's a lovely night with the moon in the sky-e-oh
It's a lovely night with that look in your eye-e-oh
But you still sleep with your back to me.
Is me and you or is it really nothin?

O baby, i thought that you forgave me,
I thought that you still loved me,
don't you need me...
I want it forever, (x16)

It's a lovely night with the moon in the sky-e-oh
It's a lovely night with that look in your eye-e-oh
But you still sleep with your back to me.
Is me and you or is it really nothin?

It's a lovely night with the moon in the sky-e-oh
It's a lovely night with that look in your eye-e-oh
But you still sleep with your back to me.
Is me and you or is it really nothin?

It's a lovely night with the moon in the sky-e-oh
It's a lovely night with that look in your eye-e-oh
But you still sleep with your back to me.
Is me and you or is it really nothin?


3.Let's Go Surfing

Wake up
It's a beautiful morning
Honey, while the sun is still shining
Wake up
Would you like to go with me?
Honey, take a run down to the beach

Oh, mama
I wanna go surfing
Oh, mama
I don't care about nothing

Wake up
There's a new kid in the town
Honey, he's moving into the big house
Remember
When I was so very hopeless
Darling, he's gonna make it all better

Oh, mama
I wanna go surfing
Oh, mama
I don't care about nothing

Down, down baby
Down by the rollercoaster
Sweet, sweet baby
I'll never let you go

Down, down baby
Down by the rollercoaster
Sweet, sweet baby
I'll never let you go

Down, down baby
Down by the rollercoaster
Sweet, sweet baby
I'll never let you go

Down, down baby
Down by the rollercoaster
Sweet, sweet baby
I'll never let you go

Oh, mama
I wanna go surfing
Oh, mama
I don't care about nothing

Oh, mama
I wanna go surfing
Oh, mama
I don't care about nothing


4.Book Of Stories

You're perfect photographs on the wall
And if I know you you're ok
I don't wanna dance anymore
I don't wanna sing anymore
I don't wanna dance anymore we used to sing

I thought I'd be ok till I hit that floor
I thought I'd be fine till I needed more
I thought I'd be ok till I hit that floor
Oh, I need more I need more I need more

I thought my life would get easier
instead its getting harder, instead it's getting harder
I thought my life would get easier,
instead it's darker, instead it's getting colder without you

My life's a book of short stories,
and we wrote a new one everyday
I don't understand anymore
you don't love me anymore
I don't understand anymore and I can't think

I thought I'd be ok till I hit that floor
I thought I'd be fine till I needed more
I thought I'd be ok till I hit that floor
Oh, I need more I need more I need more

I thought my life would get easier
instead its getting harder, instead it's getting harder
I thought my life would get easier,
instead it's darker, instead it's getting colder without you

Why can't I let you go?
Why can't I let you go?
Hate you I wanted to hate you

I thought my life would get easier
instead its getting harder, instead it's getting harder
I thought my life would get easier,
instead it's darker, instead it's getting colder without you


5.Skippin' Town

I know you're trying to kill me
I know you're trying to kill me
Cuz' you're chasing me around town
Until I turn around
Yeah, you're chasing me around town
Until I turn around

I cannot take anymore
Do you want me to skip town
Do you want me to come 'round
I cannot take anymore
Do you want me to skip town
Do you want me to come 'round

I know you're trying to kiss me
I know you're really trying to kill me
Cuz' you're driving me around town
In your car
You drive it off a bridge and crash it to the ground
You're following me 'round town until I turn around

I cannot take anymore
Do you want me to skip town
Do you want me to come 'round
I cannot take anymore
Do you want me to skip town
Do you want me to come 'round

I cannot take anymore
Do you want me to skip town
Do you want me to come 'round
I cannot take anymore
Do you want me to skip town
Do you want me to come 'round


6.Forever And Ever Amen

We, we are in love
We, forever
We're, not gonna stop
We'll be, forever

And all the stars in the sky
And all the flowers in the fields
And all the power in the Earth
Could never take you from my heart

And it's forever, baby it's forever
It's forever, baby it's forever
And Let me run til the end of time
Until our hearts are aligned into the sky
We'll Run til the end of time
Until our hearts are aligned into the sky

We, we are the ones
When, together
We, we are the young
We live, forever

And all the stars in the sky
And all the flowers in the fields
And all the power in the Earth
Could never take you from my heart

And it's forever, baby it's forever
It's forever, baby it's forever
And let me run til the end of time
Until our hearts are aligned into the sky
We'll run til the end of time
Until our hearts are aligned into the sky

Forever and ever...

And it's forever, baby it's forever
It's forever, baby it's forever
And let me run til the end of time
Until our hearts are aligned into the sky
We'll Run til the end of time
Until our hearts are aligned into the sky


7.Down By The Water

if you fall asleep down by the water
baby i'll carry you, all the way home
if you fall asleep down by the water
baby i'll carry you, all the way home

everybody's gotta love some one
but i just wanna love you dear
everybody's gotta feel something
but i just want to be with you, my dear

8.It Will All End In Tears

Baby, I know you hate me so
I gave you everything, why do you hate me so?

I don't feel sorry when you cry
I don't believe you when you lie
Because your eyes are always saying goodbye
Saying goodbye

Baby, you took my soul
I gave you everything, what did you give my soul?

I don't feel sorry when you cry
I don't believe you when you lie
Because your eyes are always saying goodbye
Saying goodbye

It will all end in tears
It will all end in tears
It will all end in tears
It will all end in tears
It will all end in tears
It will all end in tears
It will all end in tears

I don't feel sorry when you cry
I don't believe you when you lie
Because your eyes are always saying goodbye
Saying goodbye

It will all end in tears
It will all end in tears
It will all end in tears
It will all end in tears
It will all end in tears
It will all end in tears
It will all end in tears
It will all end in tears


9.We Tried

I need a place to go
Yeah that's what you told me
So I went to your house
To try to find you in your room
Why can't I find you now?

Walking along tonight
Wishing you were still here
Wishing things were alright

We tried, oh yeah
We tried and we died
We tried, oh yeah
We tried, and we died

We took down the icicles
The way it melts in your hand
You told me you loved me
At an age I didn't understand
At an age I didn't understand

Walking along tonight
Wishing you were still here
Wishing things were alright

We tried, oh yeah
We tried and we died
We tried, oh yeah
We tried, and we died


10.I Need Fun In My Life

You'd think I would know
All the answers to the questions before I get old
But I've spent too much time thinking
And I've spent too much time doing
It's time to go

And I need fun, fun, fun
In my life, life, life
And I need life, life, life
In my fun, fun, fun

Oh, I took a walk yesterday all around New York City
And I saw something written on a car
It said 'The less you own the more freedom you have'
The less you own the more freedom you have
So I went home and I threw it all away

And I need fun, fun, fun
In my life, life, life
And I need life, life, life
In my fun, fun, fun

And I need fun, fun, fun
In my life, life, life
And I need life, life, life
In my fun, fun, fun

And I need fun, fun, fun
In my life, life, life
And I need life, life, life
In my fun, fun, fun


11.I'll Never Drop My Sword

I wish your mind was more like your heart
Nailed shut
Looking back, can't remember too much love

Now when I fall down
When I get weak
When I grow tired
I'll never drop my sword

Tell me a sadder story
So I can fall asleep
The right way, if I knew the right away
Well, we wouldn't be here

Now when I fall down
When I get weak
When I grow tired
I'll never drop my sword

Do you think Jesus loves me?
Can I go home again?

I'm a boy...


12.The Future

Here I go again
Getting upset over nothing
Getting upset over your heart
Over your heart
Over your heart

And if I ruled the world
I would make every country salute you
And if I ruled the world
I'd make you be mine

And I'm always in your cage
Set me free
And you've locked me in your cage
Set me free

Here you go again
Walking away like it's nothing
Walking away from my heart
But I see your eyes at night
And you know what's wrong
And you know what's right.

And I'm always in your cage
Set me free
And you've locked me in your cage
Set me free

The future

And I'm always in your cage
Set me free
And you've locked me in your cage
Set me free
