146 by Parkview Step out the back Take a deep breath, and realize it’s coming true Pack up our things Load up the van, get out the way, we’re coming through From a garage into a basement Into a room without a view Take all your things and rearrange ‘em We’re moving on to chapter two And the glass is crystal clear, the pictures never seem to fade We’re gonna keep our window open, let the world hear what we have to say And we’ll say it loud, like we mean it ‘Cause any day could be our last And all these changes good or bad they happen so fast Walk through the door with our right foot forward Nothing to see but an empty space We’ll hang around for a little while Call it our home, it’s our own escape We fill these walls with inspiration Fill this room with the sounds we make It resonates in my head forever It’s what we got so it’s what we’ll take And the glass is crystal clear, the pictures never seem to fade We’re gonna keep our window open, let the world hear what we have to say And we’ll say it loud, like we mean it ‘Cause any day could be our last And all these changes good or bad they happen so fast The road ahead is cruel and uncertain And that’s what makes this journey great We’ve got some goals but no destination And every path’s one that we create Every day’s a new place to venture It’s just like waking up to a dream And from right here and through my perception A beautiful view, the best I’ve ever seen And the glass is crystal clear, the pictures never seem to fade We’re gonna keep our window open, let the world hear what we have to say And we’ll say it loud, like we mean it ‘Cause any day could be our last And all these changes good or bad they happen so fast And I can’t help but laugh

Nevermind 03:06
Sitting there in your kitchen, it’s getting kinda late If our currency was mistakes, I’d buy your love ‘cause I’ve made a million Can I count on you to take everything I’ve thrown your way And not throw it back in my face, like sex, drugs, rock’n’roll and pain I know you want it all to stay, but it’s getting kinda late When I think of this condition, I can’t help but reminisce About the time we fought with sticks, it’s like a drug, it’s like a religion And I’d worship everyday just to go back to those days Those days of violence, those days of sex, drugs, rock’n’roll and pain You know I want it all to stay, but it’s getting kinda late And I know you know better than me, but sometimes wanna say Take a hold of me Take a hold of everything I wish I could be But that warrants no reply It’s just hello and then goodbye We’re living in a day of nevermind Every time I try to listen, you’ll tell me that it’s right I’ll tell you that tonight might not be the right time To try and help myself, love no one else ‘cause that’s how this game plays And that’s how it’s gonna stay And I know that you don’t want it this way, but this is no democracy And everytime I look the other way it just makes me wanna say Take a hold of me Take a hold of everything I wish I could be But that warrants no reply It’s just hello and then goodbye We’re living in a day of nevermind I can’t explain the reason why When we’re living in a day of nevermind No one ever seems to bat an eye When we’re talking ‘bout something to live for I wish I could go back to simpler times You know I never wanna have to say goodbye But I will if the timing is right ‘Cause the light that ignites when we fight is just right So I say take a hold of me Take a hold of everything I wish I could be But that warrants no reply It’s just hello and then goodbye We’re living in a day of never mind So take a hold of me Take a hold of everything I wish I could be But that warrants no reply It’s just hello and then goodbye We’re living in a day of never mind

Let You Go 03:20
And there you go On your own again ‘Cause now you know I want nothing to do with you Anymore You don’t mean a thing to me You crazy whore When will you see that you’re useless to everybody And now you’re coming back for more But sorry bitch, I let you go Didn’t take me too long to find out That you were nothing but a doubt When your true side started to show I had nothing left to do but let you I see you walking down the street with your new boy Won’t bother telling him that he’s just your new toy ‘Cause in a week he will find out and you’ll be nothing but a doubt So don’t stop just shout There you go Running around again Trying to show Off whatever it is that you think that you’ve got When I saw you walkin ‘round, down the street on your own I really couldn’t help but notice that you let yourself go I guess you had it comin’, you were under a lot of pressure All the cash, the love, the compassion, the pleasure That you had from me when we were meant to be But all that caring charity is now history And when I really stop and think about what happened to us baby I realize all my feelings for you were me thinking crazy, yeah And now you’re coming back for more But sorry bitch, I let you go Didn’t take me too long to find out That you were nothing but a doubt When your true side started to show I had nothing left to do but let you And now you’re coming back for more But sorry bitch, I let you go I see you walking down the street with your new boy Won’t bother telling him that he’s just your new toy Didn’t take me too long to find out That you were nothing but a doubt When your true side started to show I had nothing left to do but let you ‘Cause in a week he will find out and you’ll be nothing but a doubt So don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no

Nude Song 03:15
Sun beats down as I step off the plane Got a stiff neck, I need a beer, I’m going fuckin’ insane As I walk through the gate I was seconds too late Her hair was blonde, her eyes were blue, I knew my life would never be the same I thought about her all day, she was stuck in my head Got my guitar, I got my beer, just need A/C and a bed As I walk into my room I feel this never ending doom All I know is that I gotta and I’m gonna see her soon You fill me up I can’t escape this summer sun Although you’ve got me on the run I’m so uptight I’m so relaxed then you walk by And you’re the reason why I need a vacation from this life Day two on the beach I was having a snooze I’m loving life, I’m loving sun, I’m loving tunes, loving booze Then there she was walking by, I can’t believe what I see Lift up my shades I look at her and she looks right back at me I said hey I like your hair, she said hey I like your style That’s when I woke up all groggy eyed and drunk and you were nowhere in sight You fill me up I can’t escape this summer sun Although you’ve got me on the run I’m so uptight I’m so relaxed then you walk by And you’re the reason why I need a vacation from this life On the beach was the last time That I saw your face You’re not alone this time But I’ll never have a chance like this again Then and there is when it hit me My jaw dropped, my vision blurred But I woke up and she was with me I guess now and then, now and then the underdog gets the girl You fill me up I can’t escape this summer sun Although you’ve got me on the run I’m so uptight I’m so relaxed then you walk by And you’re the reason why I need a vacation from this life

6th Floor 04:17
Wake up and tell me did you ever feel out of place These past eleven months have gone by so quickly I still can’t seem to turn the page And I’m just a number But you were number one And I’ve still got your number so maybe next time we could keep in touch I would keep it up If you let me know I can feel it now tonight When you’re laying far from my side Wherever you go don’t lie Can you feel it now tonight Will you wake up Will you tell me Do you know what I wanna hear badly These past few days have felt like a dream But sometimes my dreams turn into nightmares And I’ve been doing too much thinking Too much giving up And I hope you won’t forget me just know that I think about you everyday Now you’re gone away So I’d best let go I can feel it now tonight When you’re laying far from my side Wherever you go don’t lie Can you feel it now tonight

Passport 02:39
Should I drink less Should I smoke more Is this real life Or is this folklore If you’re port then I’m going starboard I think I need another stamp in my passport When the happiest place on earth is a corporate slogan That’s the time when humanities values should really be questioned And what is life when one night you’re seriously contemplating the question And the very next night you’re drunk again ‘cause some girl bailed on your best friend And I ask myself a thousand times Should I drink less Should I smoke more Is this real life Or is this folklore If you’re port then I’m going starboard I think I need another stamp in my passport And if I come clean do you think that I’d stay the same I don’t know Or will I just keep hiding behind my headphones and my shades Because it seems to me that this society’s got its priorities way out of proportion We’ve got a country full of King Midases with scentless roses that are worth a fortune And the questions seem to come to mind Should I drink less Should I smoke more Is this real life Or is this folklore If you’re port then I’m going starboard I think I need another stamp in my passport Nothing’s changing Except the whole world Climate, stock market, watch one and not the other Step up now the ball is in your court I think I used my second chance can I have one more

Unpack 03:22
If I unpack all the bags you wanted baby Would you get back all the time you wasted on me Step back will I ever find myself on The right track Can’t follow me back off the ground Hope you never tried to let me down You know they say what goes around comes around and around and around Hush baby try not to make a sound Wouldn’t wanna be the one who drowns In a puddle of her own tears on the ground on the ground on the ground If I unpack all the bags you wanted baby Would you get back all the time you wasted on me Step back will I ever find myself on The right track if I get back, honey When you come back would you still remember All the times that we had, it was late November When we made plans to find adventure But we lost track, but we’ll get back on it When everybody’s on their way And I’ve got nothing left to say I hope you’ll be here waiting for the day when I say it’s okay No sense in wasting much more time Every breath is a day and days go by But if you like where you’re at then why can’t I why can’t I If I unpack all the bags you wanted baby Would you get back all the time you wasted on me Step back will I ever find myself on The right track if I get back, honey When you come back would you still remember All the times that we had, it was late November When we made plans to find adventure But we lost track ‘Cause every time that I try I don’t know why I came here at all In the first place Why are you talking that way Why are you walking away Remember yesterday If I unpack all the bags you wanted baby Would you get back all the time you wasted on me Step back will I ever find myself on The right track When you come back would you still remember All the times that we had, it was late November When we made plans to find adventure But we lost track, but we’ll get back

When I was born I’d never know How far we’d go But now I roam far from home With nothing but freedom ‘Cause you and me gonna set it free tonight Woah let me tell you how this rock scene has reshaped my whole life You know I know that We didn’t come this far for nothing They can try and bring us down But we won’t fall we stand for something And we helped build this town And when they blow up we’ll be watching Standing front row in the crowd The anthems of a generation We’ll be singing fuckin’ loud And to the kids at home I hope you know You’re never alone A broken heart, a broken home Well don’t let it stop you ‘Cause the sun still shines and the drum still plays your song You know, let me tell you now, life moves fast so stop and sing along I know you know that We didn’t come this far for nothing They can try and bring us down But we won’t fall we stand for something And we helped build this town And when they blow up we’ll be watching Standing front row in the crowd The anthems of a generation We’ll be singing fuckin’ loud
