Track Lyrics
Star Struck Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Where is your inspiration?
You lost it, oh so long ago
So much for innovation
I saw this coming long before
You had no motivation
Your hopes are high but trapped below
This constant competition
We've won but you're still keeping score
[Chorus]
But I grew up wishing on a star
You think I won't ever get too far
[Verse 2]
So high on dedication
It feels so good to get away
From all this repetition
This angry town, this battleground
So now, we'll break tradition
We'll leave you swimming in our wake
Without your inspiration
You won't survive, you'll surely drown
[Chorus]
But I grew up wishing on a star
You think I won't ever get too far
So now, I am wishing on a star
You think I won't ever get too far
[Outro]
Where is your inspiration?
You lost it, oh so long ago
Drifting Lyrics
[Chorus]
When I look into your eyes, I can see
Such a sad man in disguise
Waiting, wishing, dreaming, drifting from me
Hurts my heart to see you cry
Waiting, wishing, dreaming, drifting from me
[Verse]
I don't know you anymore, wish I knew what's wrong
Can't we try to slam that door, start a brand new song
I know you're lonely and you cry, wondering why
I know it's lonely but if once, you could help me understand
What it takes to be a man
Look back on what you've said, and the life you've led
Is it what you dreamed when you were young like me
Now it's time you took something back
Just for the sake of your mind
[Chorus]
When I look into your eyes, I can see
Life has buried you alive
Waiting, wishing, dreaming, drifting from me
You can't breathe
Heart as big as ocean's wide
Waiting, wishing, dreaming, drifting from me
Something of Value Lyrics
[Chorus]
All that I need to hear from you
Something of value but something untrue
All that I wished that I'd find within you
[Verse 1]
See how what she wanted and she needed
Tore it all down in the end
Some how like a sickness she infects me
She's simple but deadly my friend
[Chorus]
All that I needed to hear from you
Something of value but something untrue
All that I wished that I'd find within you
Stings when I see all the ways that you[?]
[Verse 2]
Took me for granted and told me it's through
Picked from my pockets and smiled
Empty is nothing and nothing is you
Think I'll just sit for a while
[Outro]
See how what I wanted and I needed
It wasn't enough in the end
Somehow with a quickness I forgot her
I realized she wasn't my friend
Trembling Lyrics
[Intro]
Trembling, hold me now
[Verse 1]
I'm torn between silence and violent expression
Tired of believing everyone wants to care
And cherish someone I'm so scared of never having anyone
Haunted by my abandoned dreams
Tiny voices where would be screams
[Verse 2]
Now be still, it won't be long
We will be together in search of a new life
Striving as one in this world to find something pure
I'm missing you now
I'm quite sure
That I've finally found someone
Sureshot Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Get up, face this day
Find some way to make the mean kids pay
Playing it safe, it's your morals at stake
You're a young man who's willing to wage war
Break from the mold, never do what your told
After all what are feelings of rage for?
[Chorus]
So I say, I got a sure shot way to work things out
All of this arguing has worn you down
I got a sure shot way to kill your doubts
Find what you're following and chase it down
[Verse 2]
Get up, face this year
Days will fade with all your childhood fears
All of the nights, all of the friends and the fights
You're a young man who's burning to break free
Here are your rights and your name's up in lights
Don't abuse, be the best that you can be
[Bridge]
Bye mom and dad
You're all I had
I'm finding out I'm on my own
I am all alone
I'm all alone
Break from the mold
Break from the mold
[Chorus]
I got a sure shot way to work things out
All of this growing up has worn you down
I got a sure shot way to kill your doubts
Find what you're following and chase it down
Big Apple Heartbreak Lyrics
[Intro]
This can't be home anymore
This can't be home anymore
[Verse 1]
If you think I have not been missing the way she breathes
You are mistaken
My friend I've fallen down
So put your mouth on my bloody knees
[Chorus]
One night with me and I've broken your trust
I hate to be the bond you know is going to bust
Hurting lungs from breathing sighs of disgust
This can't be home anymore
This can't be home anymore
[Verse 2]
Now cold concrete blank walls are
Staring into your lonely eyes
I duck behind them and hope that you won't go
And ask for answers to why I made you cry
I never wanted us to fade out
Resting on a love that fell apart
Where are you, I need you
You still have my heart
Still have my heart
I never wanted us to fade out (fade out)
Resting on a love that fell apart (torn apart)
Where are you, I need you
You still have my heart
Still have my heart
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Open up my heart[x4]
Cigarette Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Watching the days burning out like a cigarette, just a few drags to go
You built me up and you broke me down somehow
Everything just seemed so clear to me, nothing left to know
I'll love you right and I'll love you pure, right now
[Chorus 1]
How can you say, that it's too late
To save us now
[Chorus 2]
And I would wait for you (oh), if you would wait for me (yeah)
And I will wait for you (oh), if you will wait for me (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Intoxicated the edge is serrated, so easily torn from the core
I blushed the first time, but you blushed the last time my eyes in your mind
Regenerated these feelings of hatred, I long for your love evermore
You built me up and you broke me down this time
[Chorus 2]
[Chorus 1]
[Outro]
How can you say
October Nights Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Warm October nights
You came and cuddled next to me baby yeah yeah yeah
Our noses brushed so close
I wished it was our souls
Drifting off to sleep
I could hear the little snores you made
Watching eyes shut tight
Like doors to something sweeter where you rest
[Chorus]
Tear me off a piece of blanket
Keep me warm and we can make it
Here's my heart, I'll let you break it
Touched your skin and I can't take it
[Verse 2]
Light will creep in soon
And I still haven't slept a wink baby yeah yeah yeah
I wish the sun would hide its head
So I could watch you dream some more
Wish the sun would hide its head
So I could watch you dream some more
[Bridge]
I want to watch you dream some more girl[x10]
[Chorus]
Rock Star Land Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Christmas break of '98 just flipped me upside down
One coast out to the other, following the sound
Headed west to get the best of what we all knew then
One ocean to another, waves come crashing down
Carrying just me, aunt Stephanie, she held my hand
Told me why I was
Blazing down that highway on my way to Rock Star Land
[Chorus]
California, a place they say glistens gold
I want to go there and never come back home
[Verse 2]
Staring up at freeway signs in dreams that make me sad
One coast out to the other
One ocean to another
We cruised out to the other side
Loved us in Nebraska, how they cheered us in Matane
Told me why if I was
Blazing down that highway on my way to Rock Star Land
[Chorus]
California, a place they say glistens gold
I want to go there and never come back home
For Pete’s Sake Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So I'm left wondering
There is so much left I wish that I could say to you
Silence I keep
For fear of breaking myself down and maybe getting through
Getting through to you
[Verse 2]
For Pete's Sake
Let's see straight
Clench your fists up in rage
Hurts to know
We could throw
All this time away
[Verse 3]
Let's try and work it out
Please don't be angry anymore I'm on your side
I don't want to fight
Put this hate aside
Get back to a place where you and I can still be friends
[Verse 4]
You want it, you need it
And all the answers you're racing to find out
They might outrun you in the end
A.W.O.L. Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Maybe it's not over yet
Somewhere inside him there must be some
New dream awaiting to topple the rest
When he finds himself
Feeling alive yet alone
Maybe the best he can get is still out of his reach
[Verse 2]
Ran from the life that he hates
Hoping to find some new beginning
Abandoned the future they gave and
Took away knowing what they would say
[Verse 3]
Destined to rise above all of the
Simplified answers they gave him
Back there when surrounded by
Love he could not make sense
Of feeling alive yet alone
Maybe the best he can get is
Simply blurred by fate
[Outro]
Yet he knows he's the champion of the planet
But he's told he was wrong for somehow deciding to...
Rough Draft Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two, three, four
[Chorus]
Like a Saturday night I'll be gone
Like a Saturday night I'll be gone
Before you knew that I was there
[Verse 1]
So you wrote it down
I'm supposed to care
Even though it's never there
Sorry if I'm not prepared
Is it hard to see the things you substitute
For me and all my thoughts of you?
It's eating me alive to leave you
Maybe it's childish and maybe it's wrong
But so is your blank stare in lieu of this song
Maybe it's childish and maybe it's wrong
[Chorus]
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be wrong
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be wrong
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this
Lieu of this song
[Verse 2]
I'm breathing in your skin tonight
Quiet is my loudest cry
Wouldn't want to wake the eyes that make me melt inside
And if it's healthier to leave you be
May a sickness come and set me free
Kill me while I still believe that you were meant for me
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
I'm finding my own words, my own little stage
My own epic drama, my own scripted page
I'll send you the rough draft, I'll seal it with tears
Maybe you'll read it and I'll reappear
From the start it was shaky and the characters rash
A nice setting for heartache where emotions come last
All I have deep inside to overcome this desire
Are friendly intentions and fairweather smiles
[Chorus]
And I don't wanna be, don't wanna be wrong
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be wrong
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this
Lieu of this song
[Outro]
Like a Saturday night I'll be gone
Like a Saturday night I'll be gone
Like a Saturday night I'll be gone
Like a Saturday night I'll be gone
Before you knew that I was there
