I was alone when i woke up this morning
dirty clothes strewn about
passed out again last nite without any warning
should have known, without a doubt
that i'd be lying face down when i woke up
it happens every time i take a drink
I cant resist although i probably should
i can't drink chocolate milk
cuz i'm lactose intolerant (here we go)

CHORUS: i think i drank too much last night
woke up with loss of half my sight
seems that everytime i take a drink
i wake up wondering
where i am

my girlfriend said that i should get off the bottle
she said she doesn't like me when i drink
she left me drowning as she layed on the throttle
with nothing left but time for me to see
all those stupid commercials on TV
telling you how milk is good for you
well i don't believe what all the commercials tell me
cuz every time i drink i start to puke

CHORUS

feeling all alone, like there's no one left for me
cuz all the girls are gone, dating guys on varsity
so i called some friends, said that we should start a band
so thats what we did, and i've been single ever since
yeah, being in a band isn't all its
cracked up to be still get turned down by every
girl that i meet i took a shower this morning but
maybe i stink

CHORUS: its been so long since i started this song
its been so long since i had a girl to sing along
its been so long since i had a date is that so wrong
its been so long, so long, so long, so long, so long

then i realized that i cant get chicks if i'm on stage
i'll sing my heart out but they just can't hear the words i say
and she'll meet some guy standing in the audience
but thats the way it is
when u're in a band

CHORUS

days go by, a canyon in my mind
and i don't know what to think or do
and all things we do together
show me just how much you care for me too
the time we spent, the kisses we shared
leading up to one thing we could have
your touch in my hair, the promise you'll be there
and the thought of you laying beside me

CHORUS: my door is open to you
i know that our love is true
the things that hold us back is our own fate
this distance between us
things we do when we must
its the smaller things in life we must come to trust...
we must come to trust

go to the movies or so, never go on my own
get some popcorn and sit down and hold your right hand
see the shine in your eyes, its like the country skies
a hazel-burning of the deepest fire in my heart
and you gorgeous smile, for a while i am amazed
but hoping that we'll never part is my dream

CHORUS

CHORUS

feel constricted by the things i wanna say
and this is feeling more and more like home
these restrictions are whats standing in my way
and i just wanted to let you know
i hope i see you at our show, and i hope that you're impressed by me
and i promise a good time, if u come to that show for me
you said u wanted me to play, you said you wanted me

and then next weekend, decided we should go
and see Latham, i heard that it was their first show
and we had a blast, and on the way home
she told me we were friends, and that she just didn't know
now is she missing me, or am i just annoying
i don't know what to think, and nothing seems to fit

feel constricted by the things i wanna say
and this is feeling more and more like home
these restrictions are whats standing in my way
and i just wanted to let you know
i'm glad that we went to that show, and i hope you weren't impressed by steve
and i promised a good time, if u went to that show with me
you said u wanted me to go, you said you wanted me

feel constricted by the things i wanna say
and this is feeling more and more like home
these restrictions are whats standing in my way
and i just wanted to let you know
i'd never let you down, as long as you needed me
and i promise a good time, if u ever took a chance with me
you said u wanted me to leave, you said you wanted me...

back to top

my mind is going numb
my thoughts are getting dumb
but what is going on
and what i is that is wrong
and who are you
to tell me what to do
cause i won't listen at all
and you can't make me fall...

CHORUS the time is passing so slow
my life is passing me by
and if i confy in you
and let you tell me what to do
will you lead me the right way
and not into the troubles of today
then i won't know what to say
cause i don't belive in you
and you can't believe its true
that i don't believe in you

back to top

well here i sit against my will
looking for a way to kill the time
til i get home to you
its only been a few short hours
since i've seen your smiling face
shining back at me
PRECHORUS: so u know i miss u
u know i wish u were here with me
u know i'll see u
every time i go to sleep

CHORUS: sittin by my self by the pool at my aunty's
wishin u were here with me the temperature is 113
i'm burnin up i'm burnin out i'm tryin hard to figure out
just what to do for two
weeks til i can be with u
i really hope i make it through
vacation in the desert isn't really what i wanna do
but here i am in the sand wishin i was with my band
or maybe holdin your
hand but i can't so i'll write this song for u
so u'll know just how much i'm missin u
and maybe when i get home
me and you can get some food and catch a movie

as u can tell
i've got a lot on my mind
it seems forever since i've seen u
i'm all alone
except for the cat...
well how much worse can i get than that?
PRECHORUS

CHORUS

back to top

the light tonite forms a beautiful scenery
of sunset red,
and auqua-marine
the deepest thoughts i never hope to say out loud
the sky seems to be screaming now
absent you, has brought me to,
a point of no return
fear and shame, my middle names
compliments of her
PRECHORUS: but she's doin fine
my beautiful shrine
i'm giving up tonite

CHORUS: i can't go on any longer
and the pain it just grows stronger
and i wonder just what it should mean to me
all my clothes are still not washed
my last nite, what is the cost?
it won't be coming up again,
could i be wrong?

starlight, star bright
first star that i see tonite
i wish i may, oh how i wish i might
have the wish i wish tonite
i am the sun
you are the stars
you're coming in as i depart
there's nothing left
but a few battle scars
and i know
PRECHORUS: u're walking alone
u're on your way home
but i'm not waiting there for you

CHORUS

CHORUS

Hey guys come on and follow me
Down to north hollow where you gotta see
My friend wesley's got the coolest house around
From his juggling balls to his elephants
The turtle on the table that always bobs his head
your always gonna laugh down at wesleys house
I wanna go there right now...Ohh..

CHORUS: Lets Go!...(lets go)...Down to Wesley's house
Let's Go!..(lets go)..Down to Wesley's
Theres somewhere to explore every single door
so let's go exploring tonight
Lets Go!..(lets go)..Down to Wesley's house
Let's Go!..(lets go)..Down to Wesley's
I heard from everybody that his place is kinda funny
so lets go to Wesley's tonight...let's go

You can only visit in the afternoon
If come before twelve then your way too soon
cause wesley sleeps like a bear at winter time
Theres some really scary things hangin on his walls
The heads of some deer staring down at your balls
But the scariest part is behind the door
Of the garage where you'll find 30 more

CHORUS

CHORUS(up 1 step)

back to top

maybe my pants are too long
cuz they always get soaking wet when i walk
i hate the rain and i know she hates it too
maybe she's the one for me
cuz u know we never disagree
and its plain to see how much she means to me

CHORUS: just another stupid love song
written by the light
of inspiration in a fool
so take this hopelessly
romantic phrase to heart
and when u think of all the time we shared
you'll know i care

we'd go out, but there's nothing to do
so we just stay home and watch TV for two
she says, "thats fine
as long as i'm spending time with you"
and maybe thats a boring life
but i could do it every night
and it just seems right when i look into her eyes

CHORUS

back to top

i never thought that i would feel this way,
i hope i never feel this way again
the way that we were just the other day,
i knew that nothing good would come of it
and now i know i've gotta run i've gotta hide
i've gotta find a way to get a way
then the lights begin to fade...

CHORUS: and as the darkness falls around me,
i feel you hand on my neck
and i know that you have found me,
and now there's no way back
and i notice when you're gone
so please don't ever leave,
cuz that would be the best thing for me

put up a fight now you're the only one that cares about tonite
cuz i have given up on everything and nothing turns out right
now sitting locked up in my room and now there's nothing left to do
except to pray for change
but it seems i'm out of range...

CHORUS

CHORUS

back to top

its not the first time, and i doubt that its the last
that she's left all alone to face the decisions of the past
cuz Mom ran off again and she's left all alone
and everyone's to busy with problems of their own
and every passing day, she just gets more confused
with daycare and diapers and math and english too
i know that deep inside, she wonders if its right
with the hand that she's been dealt, to still turn out just fine
but on the outside, she's such a pretty girl
who wakes up every day, with no reason to complain

CHORUS: it doesn't bother her that she's the only one left in this home
to make it on her own
it doesn't bother her that she's the most responsible
and her mom is never home
but if she had a choice
she wouldn't change a single thing
and if i had a choice
i'd give her anything
she listens to that voice
that voice that screams from deep inside
and she knows that she's alright

and what she wants from i don't think i can give
a conflict in our futures makes it hard to deal with it
but living every day, like tomorrow is so far away
i hope the mem'ries that we make will somehow numb the heartache
and in a couple years, when it comes time to leave
and all our present fears, become reality
i hope that someday all will turn out right
and when she thinks of me at night...

CHORUS
