Your Town Lyrics
[Verse 1]
New Year's at the Chanticleer
And I just signed my record deal
Someone's singing karaoke
Just a townie playing make-believe
[Pre-Chorus]
There you were, spinning 'round in your cardboard crown
You said, "Congrats, you made it out, but
[Chorus]
Don't forget about your town
Don't forget where you came from
'Cause first you're up then you're down
Come crashing back to Earth and there's no one around
Don't forget about the pain
Of being young and forgotten
And when you're up on that stage, at the top of your game
Don't forget who taught you to play
Don't forget about me"
[Verse 2]
I was just another shy kid
On the playground 'til you came around
Had big ideas and bigger dreams
That no one seemed to give a shit about
[Pre-Chorus]
There you were, you said, "If you've got a song, well, sing it loud"
You told me someday I'd make it out, but
[Chorus]
Don't forget about your town
Don't forget where you came from
'Cause first, you're up then you're down
Come crashing back to Earth and there's no one around
Don't forget about the pain
Of being young and forgotten
And when you're up on that stage, at the top of your game
Don't forget who taught you to play
Don't forget about me
[Post-Chorus]
Don't forget about me, oh
[Bridge]
Found a voicemail that you left me back in 2017
You said, "I'm sorry you don't call me more
I guess you're just too busy for me"
[Pre-Chorus]
But they were playing your song in the CVS downtown
And I just called to say, "I'm so proud"
[Chorus]
I won't forget about my town
And I won't forget where I came from
'Cause I've been up, I've been down
Came crashing back to Earth but you're not around
[Outro: Todd Peterson]
I'm sorry I don't hear from you more
But I have to tell you
I am loving this new song
It is amazing
I had to introduce it to my entire family
And I just wanna say
I'm so proud of you
Keep going, brother
Rashad Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bloodstained gymnasium
Putting numbers on the boards
You played point guard like it was a gladiator sport
We both went out with the same girl in sixth grade, Aileen
I wasn't cool, but you were always nice to me
[Verse 2]
I was just thirteen years old
My main concern was why I couldn't afford
Those Abercrombie cargo shorts
Or why I was no good at sports
Didn't know that day you'd be the one
To show me everything is temporary
[Chorus]
Rashad
Times like these I think about you a lot
'Cause lately I feel like I've lost the plot
Said I'd live my life for the one that you could not
But it feels like I forgot
I'm sorry, Rashad
[Verse 3]
And January ripped through every layer I had on that day
I was in my fifth period when I heard about the accident
You got helicoptered to a hospital in Syracuse
They said you died on the way there
[Pre-Chorus]
Guess you went out like you lived
Flying
Yeah, you went out like you lived
Flying
[Chorus]
Rashad
Times like these I think about you a lot
'Cause lately I feel like I've lost the plot
Said I'd live my life for the one that you could not
But it feels like I forgot
I'm sorry, Rashad
[Bridge]
Growing up is hard as hell
And sometimes I don't wanna
'Cause life just breaks your heart
And people aren't who you think they are
But at least I get to feel that anger
Feel that heartbreak, feel my laughter
Happily ever after, until we meet again
[Chorus]
Rashad
Times like these I think about you a lot
'Cause lately, I feel like I've lost the plot
Said I'd live my life for the one that you could not
But it feels like I forgot
I'm sorry, Rashad
[Outro]

Fallout Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know, I know, I know you hate me
You know, you know I hate you more
It's been five years since you dropped that bomb on my life
Cut off on an island, I'm still fighting in that room
[Chorus]
And I won't call you up
You won't dare to even speak my name
Oh my God
Has it come down to this?
There is no shelter anywhere
From this fallout
We made it clear
There's no going back
But I keep coming back
[Verse 2]
Saw your boy at a party last night on State Street
Paranoid, heard your name and I ran out the room
I just couldn't face talking circles around the elephant
'Cause under all that shit I talk, I still miss you
[Chorus]
And I won't call you up
You won't dare to even speak my name
Oh my God
Has it come down to this?
There is no shelter anywhere
From this fallout
We made it clear
There's no going back (No going)
But I keep coming back
[Outro]
Oh, oh-oh
I keep coming back
Oh, oh-ohh, oh
Let it go, let it go
Oh-oh
Mm
Oh-oh-oh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Women’s Jeans Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Spent my twenties with blinders on
Built my ego up so strong
Changed my shape 'til I fit right in
Still not fitting in my skin
[Pre-Chorus]
When did I become, become someone
I hardly recognize?
[Chorus]
Who am I now?
What if I've changed my mind?
'Cause I'm not who I thought I'd be
Still a teenage boy in women's jeans
Trying so hard to be
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, someone else
Oh-oh, someone else
[Verse 2]
Looking in the mirror, like maybe I was never really here
Maybe I was just too busy tryna
Tryna be thеre for you
Take care of you
And I'm happy you found your pеace
But what about me?
When did I lose myself?
What do I owe myself?
[Pre-Chorus]
When did I become, become someone
I hardly recognize?
[Chorus]
Who am I now?
What if I've changed my mind?
'Cause I'm not who I thought I'd be
Still a teenage boy in women's jeans
Trying so hard to be
[Outro]
Oh-oh, someone else
(Someone, someone)
Oh-oh, someone else
Follow the Sound of My Voice Lyrics
[Intro]
Follow the sound of my voice
I'm right here, I'm right here
Follow the sound of my voice
Dry your tears, I'm right here
Right here
[Verse 1]
There's a red kite in a dead tree in the park
Something straight out a French new-wave movie
There's a mother with a toddler in her arms
Wondering how she's gonna raise her baby
The doctor spilled out all the medical jargon
Aggressive retinal degeneration
She stares at that kite while the words ring in her head
"Sorry ma'am, your son will never see again"
[Pre-Chorus]
She points her finger at that kite stuck in that tree
She says, "Baby, c'mon, baby, can't you see?
See how high it is, how bright it is, how it shines against the sky
Can you see it if you try?"
But he says, "I can't see it"
"Darlin'," she says
[Chorus]
Follow the sound of my voice
I'm right here, I'm right here
Follow the sound of my voice
Dry your tears, I'm right here
I'm right here
[Verse 2]
There's an acne-covered teenaged terror
Upstate New York's blind piano prodigy
All the kids call him the next Ray Charles
He plays in a band with his little brother
[Pre-Chorus]
His brother guides him by the shoulder through these
Loud and crowded venues tryna
Steer that drunken ship through the night
And it hurts a little more each time he watches his big brother
Try to find his own way, up on a stage
He says, "I can't help you, let me help you"
[Chorus]
Follow the sound of my voice
I'm right here, I'm right here
Follow the sound of my voice
Dry your tears, I'm right here
Right here
[Post-Chorus]
Hmm, mm-mm
(Oh)
[Bridge]
When I feel like I am stumbling in the dark
And I get lost inside this great big world
When I feel like I'm invisible, like nobody cares
You're always there
Saying, "I can see you, I can see you"
[Chorus]
Follow the sound of my voice
I'm right here, I'm right here
Follow the sound of my voice
Dry your tears, I'm right here
I'm right here
[Outro]
Right here
Start a Band Lyrics
[Intro]
Say, "One, two, three, four"
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
Hey, kid, what you doing
With all of your rage and ruin?
Think that I could help you out
Put down your OE40
Pick up that busted 6-string
Come back to my house
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you feel alone
And I feel alone too
In this big old world there's no place for you
[Chorus]
Maybe we could start a band
Maybe we can live forever
Yeah, I got a ten-year plan
We'll buy a fifteen-passenger van
Take over the world together
Maybe we should start a band
[Verse 2]
One day, this rollercoaster
Will get your face on a bedroom poster
Live at Madison Square
I can do all the driving
Load out your gear when you get drunk
You'll be sober in a couple months
[Pre-Chorus]
And when you feel alone
I feel alone too
But together there is nothing we can't do
[Chorus]
Maybe we should start a band
Maybe we can live forever
Yeah, I got a ten-year plan
We'll buy a fifteen-passenger van
Take over the world together, oh
Maybe we should start a band
[Post-Chorus]
Woo
[Bridge]
When it all falls apart
It won't break my heart
I'll see you at the big reunion show
Ten years down the line
We'll make amends and we'll be friends again
And leave the past behind
'Cause you still feel alone
And I feel alone too
There's nothing else that we know how to do
[Chorus]
Maybe we should start a band
Maybe we can live forever
Yeah, I got a twenty-year plan
We'll buy a fifteen-passenger van
Take over the world together
Forever and ever
Maybe we should start a band
Maybe we should start a band
Oh-oh
