The Rocket Summer Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Pull Myself Together (Don't Hate Me)

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

Pretty mess with a pretty voice
Humming in my ear
Drowning out the world's noise
Such a pretty one, such a mixed up one

I once was lost then I was found
I wanna make things better the second time around
What a precious sound
Hearing the words a second time around

And how will you understand? As if I would back then
How will they understand that's who I was, not who I am?
And I'm not a perfect soul and I'll fall again, I know

I must pull myself together, this is a brand new day
Pull myself away from my mistakes
Pull myself together, it's time to let the waves
Take me, pull me away

And I know for you this must be hard
Giving me a second start
And I know I'm a little bit late
But please don't hate me, hate me
Don't hate, hate me

Chain of lies, chain of events
The keys are in your reach but not in your hands
You don't have to be a quote good unquote
Person to be let free

I'm thinking
How will you understand? As if I would back then
How will they understand that's who I was not who I am?
And I'm not a perfect soul and I'll fall again, I know but oh

I must pull myself together, this is a brand new day
Pull myself away from my mistakes
Pull myself together, it's time to let the waves
Just take me, pull me away

And I know for you this must be hard
Giving me a second start
And I know I'm a little bit late
But please don't hate me, hate me
Don't hate, hate me

So pull myself together, this is a brand new day
Pull myself away from my mistakes
Pull myself together, it's time to let the waves
Just take me, pull me away

And I know for you this must be hard
Giving me a second start
And I know I'm a little bit late
But please don't hate me, hate me
Don't hate, hate me

The crazy new you
You're running for
Is right here where you're at


2.I Need A Break But I'd Rather Have A Breakthrough

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

Daddy taught me how to fight
Working hard all his life
I started out as a teen
And I remember these things

Calloused hands, Saturdays
You gotta fight to get your pay
And what I need, I know
But I'm about to lose control

I need a break but I'd rather have a breakthrough
I'm losing my sleep, running after you
But still I'd rather have a breakthrough
So I don't stop making moves

I need a break but I'd rather have a breakthrough
I'm tripping on hurdles, running after you
But I can see it right at my fingertips
Isn't it classic?

Mama said it's all right
If you cry, if you lose a fight
Daddy said dry it up
I'm proud of you not giving up

I've been battling so many years
And I've stood up to many fears
So keep the faith, this I know
But I'm about to lose control

I need a break but I'd rather have a breakthrough
I'm losing my sleep, running after you
But still I'd rather have a breakthrough
So I don't stop making moves

I need a break but I'd rather have a breakthrough
I'm tripping on hurdles, running after you
But I can see it right at my fingertips
Isn't it classic?

I don't know anymore
What am I waiting for
I know, I know I'm giving it all I have
I want, I want to give up so bad

How come I keep on running?
But I feel it coming
I feel it coming on

I need a break but I'd rather have a breakthrough
I'm losing my sleep, running after you
But still I'd rather have a breakthrough
So I don't stop making moves

I need a break but I'd rather have a breakthrough
I'm tripping on hurdles, running after you
But I can see it right at my fingertips
Isn't it classic?

I need to catch a break
I hope I catch a break


3.Of Men & Angels

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

Stop the press, everything a mess
You can look alive but you are not at rest
And I, ideas are flowing through your head
A million miles an hour while lying in your bed

A lucid life you never thought you'd lead
Are you working everyday?
Are you working just to bleed?
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

You're staring at the names of the famed
That are dipped in gold
The feeling you deserve what you heard
But it doesn't go that way

Oh, the tongues of men and angels
I speak but lack love
Oh, love will it stab you in the back?

Working everyday
I'm afraid I forgot to show
What's most important, love

Here I am, dear Lord, tasting hints of fame
I don't want it anymore, if it's not you that I gain
Wanna fall at Your feet, don't wanna fall from Your peace
I understand

Have you ever been the man that just ran
When you knew that God was talking?
Have you ever heard His voice through the noise
But just let it go away?

Oh, the tongues of men and angels
I speak but lack love
Oh, love will it stab you in the back?

How can I go with mine instead of yours
When yours is always right
I'm sorry just pour into me love

Here I am, dear Lord, tasting hints of fame
I don't want it anymore if it's not You that I gain
Wanna fall at Your feet, don't wanna fall from Your peace
I understand

A heart at rest is harder now
Don't let it go away
A hard earned pay, a hard earned pain
Right now they're just the same

What's the use, why work so hard
When it's not what you crave
When what you need is love?

Here I am, dear Lord, tasting hints of fame
I don't want it anymore if it's not You that I gain
Wanna fall at Your feet, don't wanna fall from Your peace
I understand, oh Lord

Here I am, dear Lord, tasting hints of fame
I don't want it anymore if it's not You that I gain
Wanna fall at your feet, don't wanna fall from Your peace
I understand


4.Hills & Valleys

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

I'm on top of the world
I can see it all around me
Such beautiful words
Leaving in oceans

I can feel it
Never felt this before
Yeah, yeah

I got a beautiful woman
We're coming off of the hard end of harder times
Gonna be starting something
That gets us straight up outta here

I can fix it
Let me take us away
Yeah, we leave at night
We stay by day

Say you're with me
There's gold ahead, there's golden dreams
And life's hills and valleys
Yeah, will you hold on with me?

Let me take us
Let me take us away
All right

We drove out to California
Straight through the desert of Arizona
Sweet Texas, I'll kiss you
Hope to be back but now I gotta leave you

I can fix it
Let me take us away
Yeah, we leave at night
We stay by day

Say you're with me
There's gold ahead, there's golden dreams
And life's hills and valleys
Yeah, will you hold on with me?

Let me take us
Let me take us away

I wouldn't know
Just how sweet this tastes now
No, if at first I did not go

The bitter times, the bitter places
I'll stay and learn the new battles
But for now we're here

Say you're with me
There's gold ahead, there's golden dreams
And life's hills and valleys
Yeah, will you hold on with me?

Let me take us
Let me take us away
Let me take us
Let me take us away
Let me take us
Let me take us away


5.Teenage Love Rock

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

I saw you there
I smiled at you you didn't care
It's okay, I'll get you soon
After this sweet day I'll be with you

Will it fill you up inside?
My loving kindness
Your open mind
You should have said, hello

And when you see me there waiting
You'll wonder where you have been
I'll sit just right here sweetheart
And I'll be here to the end

The silence breaks
You're always on my mind
When I feel your gentle smile
I see you with another guy

I feel so unloved
Without you next to me
But, when I'm with you
It feels like electricity

I saw you there
I winked at you, you seemed to care
It's happening, I'm leading her to be
Become just like me

I know we're different in some ways
But forget that now and run away
I see you everyday, I know
Good for me, yeah, I love you so

And when you see me there waiting
You'll wonder where you have been
I'll say it's okay, darlin'
Now lets just run away girlfriend

The silence breaks
You're always on my mind
When I feel your gentle smile
I see you with another guy

I feel so unloved
Without you next to me
But when I'm with you
It feels like electricity

The silence breaks
You're always on my mind
When I feel your gentle smile
I see you with another guy

I feel so unloved
Without you next to me
But when I'm with you
It feels like, oh

It's gonna be like this some day
You and me we're gonna run away
It's gonna be like this some day
You and me we're gonna run away

It's gonna be that way
We're gonna run away
It's gonna be that way
Someday


6.Show me everything you've got

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

Slide your feet, create the shock
Touch another, watch it pop
Live a little, live a lot
And show me everything you've got

Oh, 'cause it takes some time and just a little bit good
Reality won't hurt, well, longer than it should
Face the fact, don't act like you don't care

'Cause you gotta stop and show it, just so I know you know it
Maybe just a little bit, oh, come on admit it right now
'Cause I know that it won't be over till it's gone
So let it be gone

And show me everything you've got
I know you're scared but let your walls just drop
You gotta take that step
And your heart, just let it pour out

Now I know it's hard to be something
That you don't think you are, oh
But it's hard for me to even try to understand
Why you are beating your own heart

'Cause you gotta try, just try to be honest
And I'll be honest with all these things that I say
Now listen clear whether break your modest, I'm here
Don't hold back, don't hesitate, don't disappear

And show me everything you've got
I know you're scared but let your walls just drop
You gotta take that step
And your heart, just let it pour out, yeah, oh

And show me everything you've got
I know you're scared but it's time for you to start
You gotta take that step
And your heart, just let it make sound

So hey, just let it pour out
And don't let your past begin to let you down
Just sing it out, just let it make sound
And as we heard it we'll be healed and found

'Cause it's normal that emotional past can spawn
Emotionless dads, mothers and nations flags
So show your face, no don't be afraid
No don't be afraid to show your face

After all these things I've learned
About things I do and don't deserve
Can easily just shape my life
Shape the way I start to die

No, 'cause it's up to me if I dwell much longer than I should
And I'll hold my tears for years thinkin' it's doing me good
So let's start right now and just make a vow
You'll let your heart sing it out

And show me everything you've got
I know you're scared but let your walls just drop
You gotta take that step
And your heart, just let it pour out, oh, yeah

And show me everything you've got
I know you're scared but it's time for you to start
You gotta take that step
And your heart, just let it make sound, yeah, oh

Oh, oh, oh, yeah
Alright
Here we go
Here we go


7.I'm doing everything (for you)

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

D-d-do you ever do a thing or two just to wait
When you don't have a thing to say
I'll try to take this slow but I don't know

I d-d-don't wanna wait for time to look for the folks who try to
say
That we don't know until we're old 'cause that's how it goes
But I think I know, oh, oh, oh, oh

Please pick me I'm a terrible mess
You know I just can't help it and I just gotta confess
You do what you do and I can't ever rest

So still I'm gonna do everything
I'm gonna make it right, I'm gonna make it good
I'm gonna do it alright, I'm gonna write it down
I'm gonna make a sound, sound yeah

'Cause I'm doing everything for you, 'cause I love to be near to
you
Something just takes me away to a place where I'm happy
'Cause I'm doing everything for you, yeah you know that I adore
you
Oh, and I just can't take it anymore

Oh! Oh! you know I gotta know, yeah, oh no

So I'll be making up things for you to see
Like romantic lights surrounding Italy
'Cause you deserve the very best, and I'll never rest
So I'll be sure to pass that test

And I just smile and say whoa 'cause you just gotta know
That every time you stay it never goes away
It reaches to the stars and shines right through the clouds
And lights up this whole world

Bless your heart you've made me happy again
It's been so long and I'm sick of pretending
You've enlighten the brain in my head

So still I'm gonna do everything
I'm gonna make it right, I'm gonna make it good
I'm gonna do it alright, I'm gonna write it down
I'm gonna make a sound, sound yeah

'Cause I'm doing everything for you, 'cause I love to be near
you
Something just takes me away to a place where I'm happy
'Cause I'm doing everything for you, yeah, you know that I adore
you
Oh, and I just can't take it

'Cause I don't wanna wait for another day 'cause I can feel this
is right
I don't wanna make this go on for too much longer
'Cause you've got a ring-less finger and I could go buy a ring
right now
Well, actually I don't have money but that's okay
'Cause I can figure it out

I'm doing everything for you, 'cause I love to be near you
Something just takes me away to a place where I'm happy
'Cause I'm doing everything for you, yeah you know that I adore
you
Oh, and I just can't take it anymore

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, no, no , no
'Cause I'm doing everything for you
Yeah, you know I'm doing everything, yeah


8.Never Knew

Lyricist:Bryce Avary

I just ran into a few someone's today
Someone's that I never really knew
And I used to think how I had them all so figured out

But no, none of it's true 'cuz I never knew you
And now the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you
So hello, good friend, I wanna be next to you
For my head, for my heart, for it's true

So I'm burning the thoughts of the things that I once said
Because you tore down the walls
That the world that has put inside my head
And I just get of sick of things that we think, we think we know

And no, none of it's true 'cuz I never knew you
And now the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you
So hello, good friend, I wanna be next to you
For my head, for my heart, for it's true

So take me and save me and change me and then make me
And embrace me and then brave my heart for you
No, no, 'cuz I can't go on without you
And it's time for something never knowing, oh

And no, none of it's true 'cuz I never knew you
And now the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you
So hello, good friend, I wanna be next to you
For my head, for my heart, for it's true

And as they as strolled along, my heart broke out in song
From all the things and the thoughts
And assumptions that I had wrong

See now I'll be on my way to make this claim
I'll make it famous in everyway
I'll make it stay when I will save it

No, none of it's true 'cuz I never knew you
And now the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you
So hello, good friend, I wanna be next to you
For my head, for my heart, for it's true

No, none of it's true 'cuz I never knew you
And now the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you
So hello, good friend, I wanna be next to you
For my head, for my heart, for it's true
Oh, no, no, no

No, none of it's true 'cuz I never knew you
And now the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you
So hello, good friend, I wanna be next to you
For my head, for my heart, for it's true


9.Move to the Other Side of the Block

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

So we try and try all of our life
Working with such pride
Making cash just to survive

As we race and grade
And judge away other folks mistakes
Makes us good to feel that way

And don't you know, it never stops
Try to please the world to beat the ticking clocks
But I, I'm not letting it happen this time

No no, because, if you do not bail and you should bail
If this is a cure when I'm in this jail
But I, I'm not letting it happen this time

So I'll move to the other side of the block
So we won't ever have to stop
Making the rounds having the
Laughs singing the sounds of the laughs

And on the other side
Of the clock the power switch will be turned off
And all will be well and time will stand still
And I will be locked out from my jail


10.December Days

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

Too bad, let's make it of what we have
Life gets so hard without the best
Can't send this down
I'm sick of this life when it comes out of me

How does it feel, you wanna know?
I'm so distraught, I can't be left alone
Never, seems forever
Days still take down in December

See into this break and the memories here
Tell me, 'Do they care to care?'
When will I lose this burden I wear?
And do they care, to care?

Get you back into my life, gotta get you
Get you back into my life
There's no way that I can do this right
Gotta get you, get you back into my life, yeah

How could this be a day to me?
You're nothing like a shame to me
Regretful thoughts, they break me
Make me see, without you I can't be me

See into your brown eyes
Turn into your brown eyes
See why your world is down
And I don't make a sound

I just wanna see you
Just wanna be you
'Cause I don't wanna let you down

See into this break and the memories here
Tell me, 'Do they care to care?'
When will I lose this burden I wear?
And tell me, 'Do they care, to care?'

Get you back into my life, gotta get you
Get you back into my life
There's no way that I can do this right
Gotta get you, get you back into my life

Please go to sleep and never mind the love
I get the moment alone again
Then you're here again, again
Again, again, again


11.So Far Away

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

Try until you finally say, you're watching this whole town
You're making my heart bleed, it shows it by your frown
And I'm already sure that money
You will listen and I will be the same

It's time to wait for her, choking on six silly ways
Made my seats hit the way
Now we feel there will be another day ride
Now it's time, I've come to clear my mind
The same same old way back until you come

You're so far away
You're so far away back from this Sunday
(So far away)
You're so far away you're
So far behind don't see this Sunday

Through the days I'm wrecked 'cause I don't know myself
Through the days I'm wrecked 'cause I don't know myself
Through these moments I'll keep rocking to these lies
So from here we'll make another lie
To make you there to make you mine

Time it kills me everyday, just asking you to stay
Just trying to find my way, it happens everyday
I'm reaching to the stars, I'm reaching to the sky
My mind it fades away

I'm sick today for her, choking on six stupid ways
Made my seats hit the way
Now we feel there will be another day ride
Now it's time, I've come to clear my mind
The same same old way back until you come

You're so far away
You're so far away back from this Sunday
(So far away)
You're so far away you're
So far behind don't see this Sunday

Through the days I'm wrecked 'cause I don't know myself
Through the days I'm wrecked 'cause I don't know myself
Through these moments I'll keep rocking to these lies
So from here we'll make another lie
To make you there to make you mine, alright


12.That's What She Said

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

So we should so go and see the sun and look at around
It always seems better in towns, the towns we know
It's time to go and hit the road, I'll make a bet
I always do better when, when you're at the show

See you there one more time and going back
It's like seeing you there for the first time, I swear
See, I have to leave, some things in life just have to be
So I'm taking my things and running but I ain't gonna leave you
there

â½So you're back so soon again?â, that's what she said
You make my world spin again, I can't, I can't just let you go
'So you've come for me again?â, that's what she said
Without you girl, I'm better dead, I'd do anything for you

What makes this hard for me? Without you that's just not
complete
You shine so bright you're what I see, just try coming once
again
Make rounds, make memories again, I try to to run, try to forget
the one
But you still keep shining, shining bright like the sun

See you there one more time and going back
It's like seeing you there for the first time, I swear
See, I have to leave, some things in life just have to be
So I'm taking my things and running but I ain't gonna leave you
there

â½So you're back so soon again?â, that's what she said
You make my world spin again, I can't, I can't just let you go
â½So you've come for me again? And I'm going back tonightâ,
she said
â½Will you come again? Back againâ

You've gone again too far, just saying lay down your heart
To watch me go to the stars, just leave me there
But you know I won't be there before


13.Around the Clock

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

Dance until we just can't
Clappin' our hands to the songs and keep dancin' around
To the joyful sound that the band plays
As his smiling face just shines away

It's moving through town, as big as a train
April, May, June and July, we'll hang outside
August through February, all the time talking our way through
March
Hanging out always till this starts

Over and over again, you promise that it won't end
So, I will try to find a rhyme to thank you again
And how I, I am not into the idea of living without you
And I, I am not into the idea of being without you

And no this won't be a sad song
There's going to be claps and singing along
'Cause sad songs about now
Well that would just feel wrong

Beautiful colors, they came from you
So, this ones goes out to the reds and yellows and blues
And of course I can't forget
All the beautiful colors on the day that we first met

So I will never know the right way to say, thanks
For all the nights and days you spend hanging out
But that's what this is about

How I, I am not into the idea of living without you
And I, I am not into the idea of being without you

And no, this won't be a sad song
There's going to be claps and singing along
'Cause you're there when to talk
And you're there not to stop and you're with me

Around the clock, you are, you are
Around the clock, yes, you are around the clock

And just, so, ya'll know everyone else is not

So I, I am not into the idea of living without you
And I, I am not into the idea

And no, well this won't be a sad song
There's gonna be claps and singing along
'Cause you're there when you talk
And you're there not to stop and you're with me, around the
clock

And I am not into the idea of living without you
And I, I am not into the idea being without you

And no, this won't be a sad song
There's going to be claps and singing along
'Cause you're there when to talk
And you're there not to stop and you're with me


14.Story

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

Hear me when I speak
And just listen and try not to be
Some kind of self righteous high being
With the opposite mislead me
To better your mind and see
This is a story of how we can't be

They're building you up to tear you down
They won't admit it but it's true
Smiling advice to end with your frown
'Cause they don't want what's best for you

It's sad I know, I know
But you know I'm something else
And now's my time to just sit back and tell

That you don't know just when to stop
You're living life to be on top
So start back here and be realin'
And just admit the way you feelin'
See we're all one page learning gang
And it's true that

We all want to be the baddest
We all have a little baggage
Even though we hide it
And we always will deny it
We are driving this float down Maine
In this pride parade

And I'm not saying that I'm any better than you
Sometimes I have motives that are just so stupid
I play the fool but man you're killing me
The charade has got to end
So stop acting like you know everything
Because you're missing the point
You were supposed to be my friend

You don't know just when to stop
You're living life to be on top
So start back here and be realin'
And just admit the way you feelin'
See we're all one page learning gang
And it's true that

We all want to be the baddest
We all have a little baggage
Even though we hide it
And we always will deny it
We are driving this float down Maine
In this pride parade

I don't, I don't know, know

Just try, just try to lean away
Take me to another place
Where I know, I know what's happening
To my head and to my dreams
'Cause I want, I want, I need, I need
Some peace of mind and clarity
So just take take my hand and let's leave

You don't know just when to stop
You're living life to be on top
So start back here and be realin'
And just admit the way you feelin'
See we're all one page learning gang
And it's true that

We all want to be the baddest
We all have a little baggage
Even though we hide it
And we always will deny it
We are driving this float down Maine
In this pride parade

Ohh, ohh, ohh, oh, oh
Ba, da, da, da, da
Ohh, ohh, ohh, oh, oh
Ba, da, da, da, da


15.Brat Pack

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

For about four years I've hated this town
Yeah, so much I just wanna get out
Since graduation was long ago
Please somebody get me out of this hole

'Cause I don't want to get stuck in here
When I am thirty-four just talkin' 'bout high school years
No I don't wanna be there, and feel so stuck right here
Back and forth, side to side, oh my dear

My foot to the floor I will drive to the place
Where I can kick it with friends through the night
A place we'll talk about now and the past what the future holds
Hanging out with not much to do
Just aimless with each other is what we do

'Cause this ain't where it's at
My friends will second that
And I gotta admit sometimes it's pretty sad
But it's like were our own brat pack
We're always kickin' back nobody can take that
And that is that it's like it's all we have

Whoa, whoa
Yeah, oh

Come on say, 'Oh, oh, get on the floor
Dance till you got no more'
I know it's there somewhere
Don't worry I'll be there to rock the party all night
To rock it till there's light our fists in the air
Fightin' the good fight

'Cause' we were singing along
To Peter Gabriel's, 'Sledgehammer' song
You know it's clear that tonight we belong in this place
So I step back to reflect in this town I hate
And at least just for a second I think I might stay

This ain't where it's at
My friends will second that
And I gotta admit sometimes it's pretty sad
But it's like were our own brat pack
We're always kickin' back nobody can take that
And that is that

So I'll run away to the hopes that I have
But still I fall asleep in the arms of my past
And when I wake so helpless and thinking of that
Just lay back down again, everyday

So maybe later today I'll know
What I will do with my life as I know it
Maybe for now I'll drive back to that place where I belong
And hope to God, it hasn't changed

This ain't where it's at
My friends will second that
And I gotta admit sometimes it's pretty sad
But it's like were our own brat pack
We're always kickin' back
Nobody can take that no no no

This ain't where it's at
My friends will second that
And I gotta admit sometimes it's pretty sad
But it's like were our own brat pack
We're always kickin' back
Nobody can take that
That is that it's like it's all we have


16.Goodbye Waves and Drive Ways

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

Just walk away
Gather your thoughts for the second wave
Of this argument on this epic changing day
It's crazy to think that an hour ago all things were great

But we stand here both proud both wrong and right
Throwing cheap shots in this stubborn fight
And our lives are so intertwined in one
But we're just so stuck in this moment
It's clear that we're coming undone

And you see it's hard for me to breathe
When I get all worked up with these feelings
And I don't know exactly how it is
That we can be so mad, we consider to not exist
When we both know there's so much love clenched within our fists

The goodbye waves in the driveway, they just resonate
And yes, I am throwing it right back at her
While we're drowning in rivers from our faces
We just wanna know if this, is this over
A trembling silence fills the air
As we stand here so impaired and so aware

I sit in this house
Alone with fresh photographs and I just can't relax
And like cigarette smoke, I'm starting to choke on this
That half of my soul is on the road in a car with a girl in a
dress

And it's making it hard for me to breathe
When I get all worked up with these feelings
And I don't know exactly how it is
That just to say I'm right, you're wrong, we both lose to win

The goodbye waves in the driveway, they just resonate
And yes, I am throwing it right back at her
While we're drowning in rivers from our faces
We just wanna know if this is this over
A trembling silence fills the air as we stand here whoa-oh

So hey now, maybe we're just being stupid
Maybe we're just being dumb
Hey, maybe it's time that we stopped and we realized
Like a flag in the wind we are one

And how at first it's made so pure and lovely
But in battle can be torn to shreds
But with time and with patience and love and affection
Can be fixed with needle and thread

Because I love you and you love me and nothing will make this
leave
I said, I love you and you love me
And nothing will make, make, make, make this leave
So remember me, yeah, remember me, yeah, remember me

And don't walk away


17.Treasures

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

Night has found its way here
And all I can hear are memories shrill and clear
Like today man had his way
And stole what I made
He saw that I was sincere

So use me up, then throw me away
Build your careers and friendships
Quote on quote and frankly I'm ashamed
That I left my name on her lips
'Cause when it ends they'll swear it is

So I'll fall asleep and try not to think twice
About all the things that forever
Will kick me down the steps
For being too nice
'Cause everyone's searching for treasure

And they'll just dig, dig, dig until they can't get out
And die in dirty digging for treasure
But as for me, I'm giving up and I'll take my bag
And focus on my treasure forever
Yes, I know that my treasure is heaven


18.Tell Me Something Good

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

Hey, what you got? You don't know anything
That I'm gonna say right now
'Cause I'm not so sure why I'm here and why I wanna
Keep on hanging 'round right now
Not that I do it now or any day, sometimes I just get burned out
About lots of things and well just doubt

So tell me something good you got it
And why am I so misunderstood
'Cause I wanna know this
'Cause I'm confused and I do break into two
So tell me how about you

Hey, what you got? Something bad and I want it
Even though I know it's wrong
But I won't be blessed 'cause I know this, so I can't have that
So I could show I gotta be strong
Man I don't wanna be able to breathe, be able to see what's
become
Of the wars of this world and the wars from my tongue

So tell me something good you got it
And why am I so misunderstood
'Cause I wanna know this
'Cause I'm confused and I bruise
Yes I do, so tell me how about you

So please, just tell me something good you got it
And why am I so misunderstood
'Cause I wanna know this
Come on baby and race me
And maybe we'll just find ourselves

I wanna be, I wanna be like that mountain
I wanna stand taller and bigger than the rest
See, I just wanna be it a guy who wins all the time
I wanna be a big star, a king and rule my own life
And God, I know that it's wrong
So please just make my heart right inside and destroy my pride

So you can tell me something good you got it
And why I am so misunderstood
'Cause I wanna know this
'Cause I'm confused and I bruise
Yes, I do, so tell me how about you

So please just tell me something good you got it
And why am I so misunderstood
'Cause I wanna know this
Come on baby and race me
And maybe we'll just find ourselves

Hey, what you got?
Something bad and I want it
Even though I know it's wrong


19.I'm Doing Everything

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

Do you ever do a thing or two just to wait
When you don't have a thing to say?
I'll try to take this slow but I don't know
'Cause I don't wanna wait

On time to look up for the folks who try to say
That we don't know until we're old
'Cause that's how it goes
But I think I know, oh, oh, oh

Please pick me, I'm a terrible mess
You know I just can't help it
And I just gotta confess
You do what you do and I can't ever rest

So still I'm gonna do everything
I'm gonna make it right
I'm gonna make it good
I'm gonna do it alright
I'm gonna write it down
I'm gonna make a sound, sound, yeah

'Cause I'm doing everything for you
Because I love to be near to you
Something just takes me away
To a place where I'm happy

'Cause I'm doing everything for you
Yeah, you know that I adore you
And I just can't take it anymore
Oh, oh, you know I gotta know, yeah, oh no

So I'll be making up things for you to see
Like romantic lights surrounding Italy
'Cause you deserve the very best and I'll never rest
So I'll be sure to pass that test

And I just smile and say, 'Whoa'
'Cause you just gotta know
That every time you stay, it never goes away

It reaches to the stars
And shines right through the clouds
And lights up this whole world

Oh, bless your heart
You've made me happy again
It's been so long
And I'm sick of pretending
You've enlighted the brain in my head

So still I'm gonna do everything
I'm gonna make it right
I'm gonna make it good
I'm gonna do it alright
I'm gonna write it down
I'm gonna make a sound, sound

'Cause I'm doing everything for you
Because I love to be near to you
Something just takes me away
To a place where I'm happy

'Cause I'm doing everything for you
Yeah, you know that I adore you, oh
And I just can't take it

'Cause I don't wanna wait for another day
'Cause I can feel this is right
I don't wanna make this go
On for too much longer

'Cause you've got a ring-less finger
And I could go buy a ring right now
Well, actually I don't have any money
But that's okay 'cause I can figure it out

I'm doing everything for you
Because I love to be near to you
Something just takes me away
To a place where I'm happy

'Cause I'm doing everything for you
Yeah, you know that I adore you
And I just can't take it anymore, yeah

'Cause I'm doing everything
Yeah, you know I'm doing everything


20.I Was So Alone

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

Don't just, don't sit down
I'm wanting this to be
A super natural flood of life
And not just make believe

Singing about what's real to me
Gasping for air, trying to breathe
While being put down by me
While thinking

Oh, so hard to just stay alive
Treading over time while I'm slowly dying
I take one last breath
And one last prayer to survive

The waves, they break me, the air hits my face
My unthinking prayer, this new found grace
I swallowed the air, quick to erase
It's such a beautiful day

I was so alone
I was to myself
Thought I was on my way
But I was missing you

So make it up, break it up
Take this wherever you want
And I wanna go, so just stay this way
On this train on which I roll

No no no
Yeah
Do do do
Come on, come on, come on

I was so alone
I was to myself
Thought I was on my way
But I was missing you

So make it up
Break it up
Take this wherever you want
And I wanna go

Go go go
Yeah


21.Christmas Present

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

One, two
One, two, three, four

What a perfect ending
To this film we are watching
â~Cause she loves her boyfriend
Like he has loved his girlfriend

Just like the night sleeps on by
Just like the sun wakes the sky
They are so in love
Like we are so in love

So hug it tight and embrace it
Don't let the world deface it
Just let it shout with amazement
As we dance tonight

Just like the cold becomes spring
Just like the perfect day dream
Just like your pretty eyes gleam
We are so in love, oh ho whoa

23.Goodbye waves and driveways

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

Just walk away
Gather your thoughts for the second wave
Of this argument on this epic changing day
It's crazy to think that an hour ago all things were great

But we stand here both proud both wrong and right
Throwing cheap shots in this stubborn fight
And our lives are so intertwined in one
But we're just so stuck in this moment it's clear that were
coming undone

And you see it's hard for me to breathe
When I get all worked up with these feelings
And I don't know exactly how it is
That we can be so mad we consider to not exist
We both know there's so much love clenched within our fists

The goodbye waves in the driveway they just resonate
And yes I am throwing it right back at her
While were drowning in rivers from our faces
We just wanna know if, this is this over
A trembling silence fills the air
As we stand here so impaired, so aware

I sit in this house, alone with fresh photographs
And I just can't relax
The cigarette smoke, I'm starting to choke on this
The half of my soul is on the road in a car with a girl in a
dress

And it's making it hard for me to breathe
When I get all worked up with these feelings
And I don't know exactly how it is

The goodbye waves in the driveway they just resonate

While were drowning in rivers from our faces
We just wanna know if this, is this over
A trembling silence fills the air
As we stand here whoa-oh

So hey now, maybe we're just being stupid
Maybe we're just being dumb
Hey, maybe it's time that we stopped and we realized
Like a flag in the wind we are one

And how at first it's made so pure and lovely
But in battle can be torn to shreds
But with time and with patience and love and affection
Can be fixed with needle and thread

Because I love you and you love me
And nothing will make this leave
I said I love you and you love me
And nothing will make, make, make, make this leave

So remember me, yeah
Remember me, yeah
Remember me
And don't walk away


24.My Typical Angel

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

That's okay, I don't care
I can't remember what happened there
Somethin' about you said, you loved me
You'd go with me anywhere

I don't care, I don't mind
You only broke my heart
My life revolved around you
Why did you leave?
What made you do it?

Gaze into the daze

I came back you weren't there
What happened to those times we shared?
I don't know, I guess they're gone
Somehow I knew that all along

You were fake
There's no mistake in that
It's better you're away from me
But still I think
It seems so hard for me to see

Gaze into the daze
What you see there had to be okay
See it's not so bad when you're gone
You left me sad but no more turning back
Things just might get perfect again

I will be sad
So don't come back acting sad
Did you care? Yeah, whoa

Today I'm alone and now I know that I'll be fine
Even without you by my side
But I can't believe you left me there
'I love you', is what you said the day before
You packed your things and left

Gaze into the daze
What you see there had to be okay
See it's not so bad when you're gone
You left me sad but no more turning back
Things just might get perfect again

I will be sad so don't come back acting sad
Did you care? Whoa

I will never say, I want you again
I will never wait so I suggest you stay away
I will never say, I want you again
I will never wait, stay away, away

Why'd you do this to me?
Why'd you do this to me? Whoa, yeah


25.Destiny

Lyricist:Stephen Bryce Avary

I started to feel while I was walking down the street
Yes I did and I started thinking 'bout my destiny
And how maybe, maybe just someday
I could repay all the times you sang

All of your warm colors have painted all my days
And all of the tragic tears you took off of my face
'Cause I've fallen off of these train tracks and nearly seen my
death
And I stand here with a song about to live

This will be my destiny
You will be my song and I will sing
So don't cover up your ears at me
And what I have to tell, I will bet these words, they find you
well

I know, I know, when I see it, I will know, it's home
That I'll go when it's my turn to clock out
It's almost like dreaming, it's something I can't explain
That it's almost hard to think the same to try to be a different
way

This will be my destiny
You will be my song and I will sing
So don't cover up your ears at me
And what I have to tell

So you, do you know what it is you do?
I assume that you're thinking, 'Why yes, I do'
And I just hope and I pray that you change that soon
And I would hope and pray if I were you

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
If I were you, if I were you
If I were you, if I were you

I'd be asking every single person I knew
'Cause I will most assuredly die this century
And in this opportune-filled life that I will leave
I hope to God that I'll live for you and not for me
Woah, woah, woah, no, no, no

Can you hear me? Can you hear me now?
Is this thing on? Can you hear me?
'Cause I am speaking loud and clear
