Its Been Awhile-Staind
It's been a while
Since I could
Hold my head up high
And It's been a while
Since I First saw you
And It's been a while
Since I could stand
on my own two feet again
And it's been a while
Since I could call you
And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that i've rendered
I stretched myself beyond my means
And It's been a while
Since I can say
That I wasn't addicted and
It's been a while
Since I can say
I love myself as well and
It's been a while
Since I've gone and fucked things up
Just like I always do
and it's been a while
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you
And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I'm gone and fucked things up again
Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day
And it's been awhile
Since I could
Look at myself straight
And it's been a while
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been a while
Since I've seen the way
the candles light your face
And it's been a while
But I can still remember just the way you taste
And everything I can't remember
as fucked up as it all may seem
To be,
I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me
And it's been a while
Since I could
Hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry

Seein Red-Unwritten law
I'm seeing red
don't think you'll have to see my face again
don't have much time for sympathy
cause it never happened to me
you're feeling blue now
i think you bit off more than you could chew
and now it's time to make a choice
and all I wanna hear is your voice
So follow, the leader down
and swallow, your pride and drown
when there's no place left to go
maybe that's when you will know
follow, the leader down
and swallow, your pride and drown
when there's no place left to go
maybe that's when you will know
and foolish lies...
oh, cant you see I tried to compromise?
cause what you say ain't always true
and I can see the tears in your eyes
and what you said now...
can't stop the words from running through my head
and what i'd do to get through to you
but you'd only do it again
So follow the leader down
and swallow your pride and drown
when there's no place left to go
maybe that's when you will know
follow the leader down
and swallow your pride and drown
when there's no place left to go
maybe that's when you will know
ohhh-oh yeah
I confess
I don't know what to make from all this mess
dont have much time for sympathy
but it never happened to me
you're feeling down now
I dont know where I'll be when you come around
and now it's time to make a choice
and all I wanna hear is your voice...

Our Lady Peace-Carnival
You know you're not a strong man
And you're just about to cry
Hang on .. Hang on
It's alright...It's alright
You worry about the future
The sign said "Yoga Class for Cats"
It's okay .. It's okay
It's no fun...
You're frustrated by the cracks
In the pavement
And every mother's back
Once again
The carnival closed down
But if this world would ever turn around
And the dynamite is waiting
Cause they bankrupted the sky
It's okay...It's okay
It's no fun...
You're frustrated by the cracks
In the pavement
And every mother's back
Once again
The carnival closed down
But if this world would ever turn around
Break your mother's back
If you step on the cracks
And everybody knows...
You're frustrated by the cracks
In the pavement
And every mother's back
Once again
The carnival closed down
But if this world would ever turn around
You'll be there when everybody's sane (x2)
When everyone is sane, you'll be there (x2)
