Pleae dont remind me Put your past behind me It shines so bright it blinds me I wish that it would end Am I am not fine Last night I saw you online Your screen name used to be mine Why cant we just pretend And if we can have another day Ive got so much left to say Id tell you everything And Ill laugh when I think about the past When I see you after class Youre hating everything Please dont remind me Put your past behind me It shines so bright it blinds me I wish that this would end Am I am not fine Last night I saw you online Your screen name used to be mine Why cant we just pretend And she said, I just forgot you were there 3] FIRST DATE In the car I just cant wait To pick you up on our very first date Is it cool if I hold your hand? Is it wrong if I think its lame to dance? Do you like my stupid hair? Would you guess that I didnt know what to wear? Im just scared of what you think You make me nervous so I really cant eat. Lets go Dont wait This nights almost over Honest, lets make this night last forever. Forever and ever Lets make this last forever Forever and ever. Lets make this last forever When you smile, I melt inside Im not worthy for a minute of your time I really wish it was only me and you. Im jealous of everybody in the room. Please dont look at me with those eyes Please dont hint that youre capable of lies I dread the thought of our very first kiss A target that Im probably gonna miss Lets go Dont wait This nights almost over Honest, lets make this night last forever. Forever and ever Lets make this last forever Forever and ever. Lets make this last forever 4] HAPPY HOLIDAYS Ill never talk to you again 5] STORY OF A LONELY GUY Push it out Fake a smile Avert disaster just in time I need a drink Cause in a while worthless answers from friends of mine. Its dumb to ask cool to ignore Girls possess me but theyre never mine. I made my entrance Avoided hazards Checked my engine I fell behind DaDa, Dada. . . I fell behind. She makes me feel like its raining outside And when the storms gone Im all torn up inside Im always nervous on days like this like the prom I get too scared to move cause Im a f***ing boy Remember when I was in the

grocery store Nows my time. Lost the words, lost the nerve, lost the girl left the line I would wish upon a star but that star, it doesnt shine So read my book, with a boring ending A short story of a lonely guy DaDa . . . Who fell behind She makes me feel like its raining outside And when the storms gone Im all torn up inside Im always nervous on days like this like the prom I get too scared to move cause Im a f***ing boy

DaDa, Dada. . . She makes me feel like its raining outside And when the storms gone Im all torn up inside Im always nervous on days like this like the prom I get too scared to move cause Im still just a stupid, worthless boy 6] THE ROCK SHOW Hanging out behind the club on the weekend Acting stupid, getting drunk with my best friends. I couldnt wait for the summer and the Warped Tour I remember its the first time that I saw her. . . there.

Shes getting kicked out of school because shes failing Im kind of nervous cause I think all her friends hate me. Shes the one, shell always be there She took my hand and that made it I swear. Because I fell in love with the girl at the rock show. She said what and I told her that I didnt know. Shes so cool, Im gonna sneak in through her window. Everythings better when shes around, I cant wait til her parents go out of town. I fell in love with the girl at the rock show.

When we said we were gonna move to Vegas I remember the look her mother gave us Seventeen without a purpose or direction We dont owe anyone a f***ing explanation. I fell in love with the girl at the rock show. She said what and I told her that I didnt know. Shes so cool, gonna sneak in through her window. Everything is better when shes around, I cant wait til her parents go out of town. I fell in love with the girl at the rock show. Black and white picture of her on my wall I waited for her call She always kept me waiting.

And if I ever got another chance Id still ask her to dance. Because she kept me waiting I fell in love with the girl at the rock show. She said what and I told her that I didnt know. Shes so cool, gonna sneak in through her window. Everything is better when shes around, I cant wait til her parents go out of town. I fell in love with the girl at the rock show. With the girl at the rock show Ill never forget tonight 7] STAY TOGETHER FOR THE KIDS Its hard to wake up

When the shades have been pulled shut This house is haunted Its so pathetic It makes no sense at all. Im ripe with things to say The words rot and fall away. What stupid poem can fix this home Id read it every day. So heres your holiday Hope you enjoy it this time You gave it all away It was mine So when youre dead and gone Well you, youll never guess my twenty years now lost Its not right Their anger hurts my ears

Been burnin strong for seven years Rather than fix the problems, they never solve them It makes no sense at all I see them every day We get along, so why cant they? If this is what he wants and this is what she wants Then why is there so much pain? So heres your holiday Hope you enjoy it this time You gave it all away It was mine So when youre dead and gone Well you, youll never guess my twenty years now lost Its not right

8] ROLLER COASTER Breathing deeply Walking backwards Finding strength to call and ask her Roller Coaster, favorite ride Let me kiss you one last time Leave me standing here Act like Im not around The coast will probably never clear Can I please go home now? I had that dream about you again Where I wait outside Until you let me in And there I stayed Lay beside me And listen at the wall

Well keep on lying Until the summer comes I had that dream about you again Where you drive my car Right off a f***ing cliff And now Im breathing deeply Walking backwards Finding strength to call and ask her Roller Coaster, favorite ride Let me kiss you one last time Make me promise That I will never tell All I remember is The way her bedroom smelled I had that dream about you again Where I wait outside

Until you let me in And now Im breathing deeply Walking backwards Finding strength to call and ask her Roller Coaster, favorite ride Let me kiss you one last time Goodnight, goodnight 9] RECKLESS ABANDON On and on, reckless abandon Somethings wrong This is gonna shock them Nothing to hold on to Well use this song To lead you on I learned a lot today Not sure if Ill get l**d and

Not sure if Ill fail or pass Kissed every girl in class Everybody would waste it all To have a summer that they could call A memory thats full of fun F***ed up when its all done On and on, reckless abandon Somethings wrong This is gonna shock them Nothing to hold on to Well use this song To lead you on And break the truth with more bad news. We left a scar size extra large Sip a drink of the alcohol End up kneeling in bathroom stalls Eyes are red and my movements slow

Too high, got vertigo He took a s*** in the bathroom tub And fed the dog with a brownie drug Tried hard to not get caught He f***ed a chick in a parking lot On and on, reckless abandon Somethings wrong This is gonna shock them Nothing to hold on to Well use this song To lead you on And break the truth with more bad news We left a scar size extra large Break a window and bust a wall Making fun of your friends mom Turn the music up way too loud Charge the pizza to the house

Everybody would waste it all To have a summer that they could call Memory thats full of fun F***ed up when its all done On and on, reckless abandon Somethings wrong This is gonna shock them Nothing to hold on to Well use this song To lead you on And break the truth with more bad news We left a scar size extra large 10] EVERYTIME I LOOK FOR YOU I never found out why you left him But this answer begs that question Too blind to see tomorrow

Too broke to beg or borrow. Young and stupid Left wide open Hearts are wasted Lives are broken One more point of contention I need some intervention Approached with vague intentions Betray my short attention Span the distance. Bridge the border Beg forgiveness Round the corner Everytime I look for you the sun goes down And I stumble when the whole thing runs aground

I left another message, you are never around But everytime I look for you the sun goes down once more Will the last one out please shut the door More time apart will give you A few more months to argue Is this too much to live through? It always seemed too far to Drive the point home Send more letters Pray tomorrow Ends up better Everytime I look for you, the sun goes down And I stumble when the whole thing runs aground

I left another message, you are never around But everytime I look for you the sun goes down once more Will the last one out please shut the door I never did do anything that she asked I never let what happened stay in the past. I never did quite understand what she meant In spite of everything In spite of everything Everytime I look for you, the sun goes down And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground I left another message, you are never around

Its cool when they piss people off with what they wear, oh yeah So give me one good reason Why we need to be like them Kids will have fun and offend They dont want to and dont fit in Hate the jocks, the preps, the hippief***ing scumbags Heavy-metalers with their awful, p**** hair bands Counting seconds until we can get away Ditchin school almost every single day, oh yeah So give me one good reason Why we need to be like them Kids will have fun and offend They dont want to and dont fit in 12] SHUT UP Shut the f*** up, she said Im going f***ing deaf Youre always too loud Everythings too loud Now that all my friends left This place is f***ing dead. I want to move out When can we move out? This s*** has got to stop Ill run away Get the f*** up, she said Your life is meaningless Its going nowhere Youre going nowhere Youre just a f*** up, she said Ill live alone instead She said You dont care. I know I dont care Ill never ask permission from you F*** off, Im not listening to you Im not coming home. Im never going to come back home I got too f***ed up, again And passed out on the plane Tried to forget you I cant forget you No sleep on this flight Ill think about the nights We had to get through I didnt get through Ill never ask permission from you F*** off Im not listening to you Im not coming home Im never going to come back home I think its time that I should leave Ill never ask permission from you F*** off, Im not listening to you Im not coming home. Im never going come back home Ill run away I think its time for me to leave 13] PLEASE TAKE ME HOME Oh no, it happened again Shes cool, shes hot, shes my friend I drive for hours, its so You leave me nowhere Shes unstoppable Unpredictable Im so jaded, calculated. Wrong Please take me home Too late, its gone I bet youre sad This is the best time we ever had I hope, hope that it lasts Give in, forget the past Be strong when things fall apart Honest, this breaks my heart Shes unstoppable Unpredictable Im so jaded, calculated Wrong Please take me home Too late, its gone I bet youre sad This is the best time we ever had Please take me home Too late, its gone I bet youre sad This is the best time we ever had Why did we have to go date? Its too easy to complicate Be strong when things fall apart
