Holiday
What became of everyone I used to know?
Where did our respectable convictions go?
Your words don't match the story that your actions show
What do I know?
I'm sure you can't help but remembering
I thought that you'd be one
Not to forget
Remembering's not helping you yet
Say goodnight
Means goodbye
I know you think my life
will stop with you away
Maybe I can see you on
Holidays
worlds away
I've never forgotten all our yesterdays
I'm lucky if we're speaking on
Holidays
The evidence presents itself
Accusingly
You're absence speaking everything
You think of me
Now that I am faced with opportunity
You're not remembering
I'm not asking you to anyway
And even if you ever could cave in
i wouldnt know where to begin
Action & Action
You really think that you're bigger than this
To the tune of ten thousand lisps
Who would have thought we'd represent,
when I can't take a compliment?
Overexposure is the key and any focus on me
is appreciated, as it should be.
No wonder now, I finally found,
The right formula for...
You taught me how, I play the fool.
And every mistake that I make, I couldn't have made without you.
What's said is done and plain to see, you take it all too seriously.
What better way to make an honest mistake
than a televised hand of fate.
When the world closes in on you,
a decision would be overdue
Now nothing left is out of hand,
a stronger jaded man stands.
If the world is ending then we toast to it.
I'm stronger now, but not without
the right formula for...
You taught me how, I play the fool.
Every mistake that I make, I couldn't have made without you.
What's said is done and plain to see, Here's all you get from me
Here's all you get from me.
I'm down for whatever. What's there left to wait for?
I'm down for whatever. What's there left to wait for?
To wait for, and wait!
You taught me how, I play the fool.
Every mistake that I make, I couldn't have made without you.
What's said is done and plain to see, Here's all you get from me.
Valentine
It's words you forget
To anniversary songs.
The bottles bite back.
Your tolerance wrong.
Your good intentions count for little anymore.
If you're sorry,
Why wage war?
Im not fully convinced,
There's something wrong with this.
Could another point of view,
Biased and untrue,
Tear me,
away from you?
Will you be my Valentine,
If I'm a world away?
Apologies are breaking me.
Constants aren't so constant anymore.
Two days to wait for calls to come through.
Tonight for me translates to yesterday to you.
You Bend and you wave.
You're barely away.
Wish i could say tonight,
When you bend and wave goodbye.
"Take me with you."
Will you be my Valentine,
If im a world away?
Apologies are breaking me.
Constants aren't so constant anymore.
Constants aren't so constant anymore.
Will you be my valentine? (if im a world away)
Will you be my valentine? (if im a world away)
If I'm a world away (if im a world away)
If I'm a world away (if im a world away)
Constants aren't so constant anymore.
Red Letter Day
you've got some nerve i never knew
what with the world we gave away in front of you
i see it all
much clearer now
you're just a phase i've gotten over anyhow
it's over, i'm not giving in again
we're loyal, like brothers
just us versus all the others
you're the one for
you're the one for me
i trusted misleading promises worth repeating
how could you do this to me?
red letter day that i learned
i'm sure you'll get what you deserve
i see it all
much clearer since
far past the point of this
it's over
we're loyal like brothers
just us versus all the others
you're the one for
you're the one for me
i trusted misleading promises worth repeating
how could you do this
how could you do this to me?
and if its a lie
i dont want to be the one who signed
i'm not the one who falls down
it's over now
if you wanna try
try to forget it
i'll say
its over
i'm gone
we're loyal, like brothers
just us versus all the others
you're the one for
you're the one for me
i trusted misleading promises worth repeating
how could you do this
how could you do this
how could you do this to me?
Out Of Reach
Long way from home
Lost by an echo never have known
I've got pictures to prove I was there
but you don't care
Here's me overseas
across the pond by the dover peaks
I've smuggled myself into new nationalities
think you'd be proud of me
There's room to believe
Out of sight
Out of mind
Out of reach
Start over
that's no way to begin
Long way from home

It's no way to begin
There's room to believe

Ten Minutes
Ten minutes to downtown, is ten minutes too far.
When my friends all say I'm crazy,
maybe I'm being selfish.
Maybe I'm just scared.
Don't be gone when I get home...I need you there.
If I had to explain it
I wouldn't know where to start.
It's like you're falling in love while i just fall apart.
Ten minutes to downtown is ten minutes too far
when my heart is saying you're crazy.
Maybe things are getting better...
Maybe things aren't so bad.
Don't be gone when I get home...
you're all I have.
If I had to explain it,
I wouldn't know where to start.
It's like you're falling in love while I just fall apart.
Pockets empty,
How can you tell me that everything will work out.
a pointless fight when you're always right.
Everything will work out.
Sometimes I miss you more whenever I'm at home.
I've been home all summer...
Now I'm leaving you alone.
Pockets empty.
How can you tell me that everything will work out...
a pointless fight when you're always right.
Everything will work out
Company Dime
I watched it all come crashing down
On the verge of a world profound.
Standing on unstable ground
Adding insult to irony.
I think it’s really gonna happen this time,
Our calls on the company dime.
Reluctance ties up the line
With irresponsibility.
No matter save for a friend
No argument can amend.
Irreplaceable but in the end,
One star player doesn’t save the team.
Now you’re open to attack,
Our burden rests on your back.
Replace, re-track
Responsibility.
I’m still waiting for
(I’m still waiting for )
You to get over this.
Still waiting for
(I’m still waiting for )
You to get over this.
Still waiting for
(I’m still waiting for )
You to get over this.
Anonymous until the ending,
Spent a long long time pretending.
And a longer day spent accepting
What the world ahead would store.
You only learn but not believing
That the industry is unforgiving.
Everything that you’ve been giving
Isn’t what it was before.
I’m still waiting for
(I’m still waiting for )
You to get over this.
Still waiting for
(I’m still waiting for )
You to get over this.
Still waiting for
(I’m still waiting for )
You to get over this.
Replace, re-track
Replace, re-track
Replace, re-track
I’m still waiting for
(I’m still waiting for )
You to get over this.
Still waiting for
(I’m still waiting for )
You to get over this.
Still waiting for
(I’m still waiting for )
You to get over this.
My Apology
You'll be accepting my apology
For taking things to seriously.
Sometimes I'm old enough to keep routine
Sometimes I'm child enough to scream.
For everything I broke into,
You're barely missing me- I'm missing you.
For everything you do, I really do.
Really do, I'm sure I do.
My once photographic memory
For recollections' sake is failing me.
I can't remember for the life of me.
Sometimes I can think to recite
Words that I read and re-write.
My pens paint people that I've proven wrong
Sometimes I can think to recite
Words that I read and re-write.
My pens paint people that I've proven wrong.
We move on.
Get a job where I tell
All of my accounts of someone else.
I'm quick enough to judge that they were wrong
And that we knew it all along.
Sing along long-winded song
I would be content to hum along.
Ooh..
If I state
That my fingers know where to show
What everyone should have known
I'll let it go.
Hopefully you'll forget,
Any words that I've put in print.
My luck, You'll change.
Have strength enough to walk away.
Sometimes I can think to recite
Words that I read and re-write
My pens paint people that I've proven wrong
Sometimes I can think to recite
Words that I read and re-write
My pens paint people that I've proven wrong.
We move on.
I'm A Loner Dottie, A Rebel
Come tomorrow I'll be on my way back home.
In the morning call from a roadside telephone.
One night doesn't mean the rest of my life.
If I go, it's not impossible.
but possible is probably wrong.
So let go, oh, cause I'm afraid to try.
Keep my hands by my side.
I won't come back,
I hope someday you'll understand.
wanna try and make it right,
don't know if I can!
Last night, everything was right the rain
was gone.
One summer night's the only time we've
known.
So shut your eyes.
When you wake up I'll be gone.
When you wake up I'll be gone.
One night doesn't mean the rest of my life.
If I go it's not impossible
but possible, is probably wrong.
So let go, oh, cause I'm afraid to try!
Long Goodnight
Every attempt to…is filled with holes
Reads like a polygraph I’m told
I’m not bitter anyway
Let it go
I never sleep still lest I forget
Tied down by handicaps instead
I’m not bitter anyway
But I didn’t want it to turn it out this way
Sing a long good night
Forfeit any fight
Refuse to rest assured
Comes with no reply
Hold on too tight
Hang on every word
If it all ended tonight
You know that I wouldn’t mind
Back to the good old times
Before it won
If it all ended tonight
You know that I wouldn’t mind
Back to the good old times
Before it won
Sing a long good night
Forfeit any fight
Refuse to rest assured
Comes with no reply
Hold on too tight
Hang on every word
Sing a long good night
Forfeit any fight
Refuse to rest assured
Comes with no reply
Hold on too tight
Hang on every word
Close To Home
Summer swallowed us whole, we waited for you to come around
Every word you wrote down, we read it over to know..would
they believe in us now?
There's no shame like no sound from sources hits close to home.
Everything that we've found says make your own destiny
But you're unaware that you should be scared
Maybe you'll learn from mistakes that we make
We're not waiting forever
We know you'll never be there
We're not waiting forever, but if you get out we'll see you there
Summer swallowed us whole, we waited for you to come around
There's no shame like no sound from sources hits close to home.
Everything that we've found says make your own destiny
But you're unaware that you should be scared
Maybe you'll learn from mistakes that we make
We're not waiting forever
We know you'll never be there
We're not waiting forever, but if you get out we'll see you there
You're not awake as I'm aware
Maybe we had all you figured absolutely wrong.
There's been a misunderstanding we've had all along
You can read about it when we're gone
I'll Catch You
Can you sleep as the sound hits your ears?
One at a time,
An unspoken balance here
Unabridged for so many years
That I should stare at recievers
To recieve her
isn't fair
Don't worry, I'll catch you
Don't worry, I'll catch you
Don't ever worry
Your arms in mine,
Anytime,
I wouldn't trade anything
You're still my everything
To my surprise,
Before my eyes,
You arrive
Don't worry, I'll catch you
Don't worry, I'll catch you
Don't ever worry
Still breaking old habits, habits,
You pulled the wool over me,
Now I can see everything,
Everything,
Remembering,
Jinx run away
Don't worry, I'll catch you
Don't worry, I'll catch you
Don't ever worry
No need for reminding,
You're still all that matters to me
