1. "Fallin' Down"
Written and sung by Johnny Rzeznik
[3:17]
Do you know
Where you wanna go
I ain't got time for you now
Do you think
That I'll ever be

'Cause all I ever wanted's so far gone
And if I had my chance, I'd go along

You're makin' me fall down
I'm fallin' down again
I wish you could fall down
Can you catch me darlin'

Do you see
What you do to me
You ain't got time for it now
Do you think
That I'll ever be

'Cause all I ever wanted's so far gone
And if I had my chance, I'd go along

You're makin' me fall down
I'm fallin' down again
I wish you could fall down
Can you catch me darlin'

'Cause all I ever wanted's so far gone
And if I had my chance, I'd go along

You're makin' me fall down
I'm fallin' down again
I wish you could fall down
Can you catch me darlin'

I'm home
I'm home
I'm home
I'm home

2. "Lucky Star"
Written by the Goo Goo Dolls, sung by Robby Takac
[3:03]
If I could walk a straight mile
I could write it down in shorthand
I could show you
If you want me to

And if I had an hourglass
I'd save the grains of time I spent with you
That's what I'd do

But I remember
You always said it could be great
And I knew it could be

Well there's a way you look at things
That no one needs to know but you
And you shared it with me

Like every time the leaves would fall
You promised me that they'd be back again
And I believed in you

You always said it could be great
But I had no time to waste
Now it seems that I've come too far

As bright as you are, don't get burned by your lucky star
Bright as you are, don't get burned by your lucky star

Written down in hard-bound books
The way things used to be, they ain't for me
I'd swear they're all for you

We said sugar, gramps said shoot
Her mom said shit, I don't know what she'll do
As if it's up to you

But I remember
You always said it could be great
But I had no time to waste
Now it seems that I've come too far

As bright as you are, don't get burned by your lucky star
Bright as you are, don't get burned by your lucky star

Your lucky star will burn ya
Your lucky star can turn you 'round
Your lucky star will burn ya
Your lucky star can turn you 'round
Turn you 'round
Turn you 'round
Turn you 'round
They're gonna turn you around

3. "Cuz You're Gone"
Written and sung by Johnny Rzeznik
[3:30]
You whispered in my mouth
And I spit your words right back
How good do you think I'll look
When the words start to break and crack

You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
Cuz you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad and I don't know how
No I don't know how

Cuz your gone
And you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone
And you ain't coming back

You held your hand so close
And I just can't push you away
I wished you could be my girl
But you're stuck in your own world

You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
Well you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad and I don't know how
No I don't know how

Cuz your gone
And you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone
And you ain't coming back

You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
Cuz you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad and I don't know how
No I don't know how

Cuz your gone
And you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone
And you ain't coming back

Yeah you're gone
And I wish you'd come back

4. "Don't Worry"
Written by the Goo Goo Dolls, sung by Robby Takac
[2:24]
I called you up all night till mornin'
Left my house by noon today
And I saw you standing there
No one spoke but we both listened
Heard every word you didn't say

And the sun shines all around us
Smells like summer's on the way
And I saw you standing there
Tell the story of a lifetime
Tomorrow brings a brand new day

Don't worry 'bout today
(And the words that you said)
Don't worry 'bout today
(Shake the world from your head)
At least for a while

They say the day keeps getting longer
But my nights seem longer still
And my TV's off the air
Watching repeats on my ceiling
Another hour left to kill

Don't worry 'bout today
(And the words that you said)
Don't worry 'bout today
(Shake the world from your head)
At least for a while

5. "Girl Right Next to Me"
Written and sung by Johnny Rzeznik
[3:43]
You changed my face
I think I like it better now
It doesn't matter anyhow
'Cause that's the way it is

You said hello
Where the hell you been
I said I feel like I've been off to war
And I may never be the same again

I made my bed
And now I can't sleep at night
Cuz I'm tossing and turning
And you know, you know it ain't right

I'd love to beg
See, but I'm just too proud
And I don't even know what to say
So I'm thinking out loud

And when you dream, 17
I ain't there
So I don't care
'Cause in all my dreams, I'm 23
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me

I lie in my bed
You're running through my head
Going over and over and over
The things that you said

I'm caught in the trap
I run like hell right back to you
'Cause I'm sober with you
And you know it beats drinking alone

And when you dream, 17
I ain't there
So I don't care
'Cause in all my dreams, I'm 23
And see the girl right next to me
See the girl right next to me

And when you dream, 17
I ain't there
So I don't care
'Cause in all my dreams, I'm 23
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me

And when you dream, 17
I ain't there
So I don't care
'Cause in all my dreams, I'm 23
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me
She's the girl right next to me
I see the girl right next to me

6. "Domino"
Written by the Goo Goo Dolls, sung by Robby Takac
[2:35]
If you never had it then
You don't know how bad it is
There is nothing like it, well
Needless talk then, I can tell

(Dominoes are falling still)
Here comes the day, I sit and wait
Always, always something
(As I know they always will)
The bills keep coming, the car ain't running
Now I'm coming home again
(Dominoes a test of will)
Another day
Oh, the mailman's on his way
Just sit and wait
(Domino)
Always pondering my fate too late
Another day goes

I bought them from you yesterday
Little fuss that you have made
No one minds I can tell
Seems I've hit the ones you shall

(Dominoes are falling still)
Here comes the day, I sit and wait
Always, always something
(As I know they always will)
The bills keep coming, the car ain't running
Now I'm coming home again
(Dominoes a test of will)
Another day
Oh, the mailman's on his way
Just sit and wait
(Domino)
Always pondering my fate too late
Another day goes

(Dominoes are falling still)
Oh everyday
(As I know they always will)
I sit and wait
(Dominoes a test of will)
As I'm pondering my fate too late
(Domino)
Another day goes

7. "We Are the Normal"
Music written by the Goo Goo Dolls, words written by Paul Westerberg, sung by Johnny Rzeznik
[3:38]
It's a beautiful day
I heard eveybody say
The sun shines down for all of us

Just the same
You know I like the rain
That ain't so obvious

It's a beautiful sight
I guess everybody's right
This day belongs to all of us

Even still
I like mine with a chill
That ain't so obvious

We are the normal
We live and we die
No reason why
We are the normal
We live and we die
No reason why

It's a beautiful life
And I got it in my sights
And that ain't for all of us

It's a beautiful sound
My life comes crashing down
That ain't so obvious

It's a beautiful sin
And I'm doing it again
And that ain't for all of us

It's a beautiful life
And I got it in my sights
Ain't that so obvious

We are the normal
We live and we die
No reason why
We are the normal
We live and we die
No reason why

We are the normal
We live and we die
No reason why
We are the normal
We live and we die
No reason why
There's no reason why

We are the normal
We live and we die
No reason why
We are the normal
We live and we die
No reason why

8. "String of Lies"
Written by the Goo Goo Dolls, sung by Robby Takac and Johnny Rzeznik
[3:07]
I've got no politics
No influential friend or two
I've got ideas
But it's nothing I picked up at school
I might be running
But I'm never running back to you

And here's a letter from the real world
I don't expect your reply
And anything you're gonna tell me
It's just another lie

I had to wait so long
The weeks and months that passed me by
You've got no power
And my situations don't apply
You ask me how I am
I lie and say I'm doing fine

And with your sugar-sweetened alibis
There was a truth I never knew
And all the attitude you gave me
It's coming back to you

String of lies
It's always compromise with you
String of lies
You know there's nothing left to do
String of lies
It's been a string of lies with you

And here's a letter from the real world
I don't expect your reply
And anything you're gonna tell me
It's just another lie

String of lies
We always compromise for you
String of lies
You know there's nothing left to do
String of lies
It's been a string of lies with you
String of lies
We always compromise for you

And here's a letter from the real world

9. "Another Second Time Around"
Written by the Goo Goo Dolls, sung by Robby Takac
[2:59]
Happy, smiling, crying
Upwards to my past
I guess those stormy grey skies
Simply couldn't last
And now I found myself a tuggin' at your dress
The thought of holding you down
Or seeing you frown is never gonna pass

Somewhere there's a place a soul can never go
Grey like stormy skies I hoped you didn't know
All my postcards full of things I won't forget
And now it's coming down
That laughing clown is all I ever get

Another second time around
I've been runnin' from ya
Another second time around
Another second, one more second time
I've waited for ya
Another second time around

Couldn't help myself
I felt like
Everything was gonna pass
It was an awkward time
I hoped it wouldn't
Hoped it couldn't last

And I didn't know exactly what to say
About those things you saw my do, my evil way
And I know you're lying, crying in your bed
Well I'm all tired out, so wired out
It's ringing in my head

Another second time around
I've been runnin' from ya
Another second time around
Another second, one more second time
I've waited for ya
Another second time around
Another second time around
Another second time around

10. "Stop the World"
Written and sung by Johnny Rzeznik
[3:31]
You need someone to hold you
You need something that you ain't been getting
Yeah, I could be the one
To tell you what to do, but it don't mean nothing

And you're holding on forever
But that something just ain't true
I'm just like you

And I know, it's what I'd do
Here I go

Cuz I could stop the world, cuz I love you
I could stop the world, and I don't want to
I could stop the world, and I won't
Cuz it ain't enough

You had another bad day
You let me know that you just can't take it
I've given up on you
You live in truth and I know I can't fake it
Cuz the stars you see
Are on a dirty sidewalk
And they ain't for wishing new
If they don't come true

And I know, it's what I'd do
Here I go

Cuz I could stop the world, cuz I love you
I could stop the world, and I don't want to
I could stop the world, and I won't
Cuz it ain't enough

I'm not too young for the world
I'm not too young for the world
And I can't change for the world
(I don't need to stop the world)
I don't care for the world
(I'm too young, I'm too young, I'm too young)
You're not too young for the world
(I don't need to stop the world)
And I won't change for the world
(I'm too young, I'm too young, I'm too young)
It don't make sense, the world

11. "Already There"
Written by the Goo Goo Dolls, sung by Robby Takac
[2:43]
I look outside my window
Everything was blanketed in white
The neighbors pushing cars
Out from snow that fell on us last night
I started thinking 'bout the things we used to do
When we were young
Back when things were simple
Getting up was fun

I couldn't care, cuz I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there

Turn around and face the clock
I'd sit and watch, as time went hoppin' by
I'm still growing up
My friends are growing old before my eyes
Count the stars above
Wonder when the heavens will subside
Knowing our two worlds
Will someday just collide

I couldn't care, cuz I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there

Just a boy who's young at heart
His smile was a bit like yours today
Had a wife, a kid, some strife
Never had to go astray
Happiness evolved
Life was in full swing at 17
All the things he wanted
Were things he'd never seen

It don't seem fair, cuz I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there

12. "On the Lie"
Written and sung by Johnny Rzeznik
[3:18]
He burnt down the house one night
He had a loaded six-pack gun
He said that Jesus Christ was just like a cop
You know, you never know when they'll come
She said every day above ground
Was another dream come true
He said I'd hang and swap clichés all night
But I'm not in love with you

And I never got serious
Till everything went black
And I ain't so curious
That I'm ever going back

On the lie
On the lie
On the lie
On the lie

He said man, you want to be Elvis
I said I ain't dying face down
He said you've got to die facing up in the world
Cuz there's too many holes around
He asked what was wrong with me
He said I looked like a Hollywood girl
I said that Hollywood can fall into the ocean, man
Cuz it's the ugliest place in the whole wide world

And he never got serious
Till everything went black
And I ain't so curious
That I'm ever going back

On the lie
On the lie
On the lie
On the lie

On the lie
He was on the lie
On the lie
She was on the lie
On the lie
He was on the lie

It's always a stinkin' lie

13. "Close Your Eyes"
Written by the Goo Goo Dolls, sung by Robby Takac
[2:23]
I wish I had a saxophone
I'd play the blues till you came home
With a little sadness in your eye
Now that all my time was spent
In you walk, you're heaven sent
Thinkin' 'bout all the night's you've cried

Had a certain passion
And I had surly dreams
A load of viscous actions

Don't close your eyes to me
(Don't close your eyes to me)
Oh don't close your eyes to me
(Don't close your eyes to me)

I wish I had a camera lens
To film the things my mind had said
Before they reached my mouth and got all bent
Looking at the skies of blue
All day long I think of you
Even after all the shit we've been through

Had a certain passion
And I had surly dreams
A load of viscous actions

Don't close your eyes to me
(Don't close your eyes to me)
Please don't close your eyes to me
(Don't close your eyes to me)
Oh don't close your eyes to me

Close your eyes to me
Close your eyes to me
Eyes to me
Close your eyes to me
(Don't close your eyes to me)
Close your eyes to me
Close your eyes to me
(Don't close your eyes to me)
Eyes to me

14. "So Far Away"
Written by the Goo Goo Dolls, sung by Johnny Rzeznik
[3:55]
Why do you stare me down
Am I wrong
Should I turn and kiss the ground
And I never felt that way
I ain't the one and you know
I don't come from such a place

And I didn't get those things
Things that you can't grow
You say that it's all my fault
And I don't need to know

Tell me something I don't know
And I'll find that I'm always looking 'round behind me
You say that it's all been said before
Now I find that there's something I don't know

And I hate your attitude
I ain't scared at all
Cuz it don't matter what you do
And I'll turn around to see the truth
You're tearing it down
Yeah, you're bringing it down
And it's all on you

And I didn't get those things
Things that you can't grow
You say that it's all my fault
And I don't need to know

Tell me something I don't know
And I'll find that I'm always looking 'round behind me
You say that it's all been said before
Now I find that there's something I don't know

And I know
I don't know
And I say that
If you break enough glass
And there's no one to hear
In your heart full of hate
But your mind's full of fear
Let it go

So far away
So far away
So far away

I'm so far away
So far away
So far away
