all of this

with all of this i know now
everything inside of my head
it all just goes to show how
nothing i know changes me at all
again i waited for this to change instead
to tear the world in two
another night with her
but i'm always wanting you

use me holly come on and use me
we go where we know

with all of this i feel now
everything inside of my heart
it all just seems to be how
nothing i feel pulls at me at all
again i waited for this to pull apart
to break my time in two
another night with her
but i'm always wanting you

use me holly come on and use me
we go where we know

she's all i need
she's all i dream
she's all i'm always wanting you
i'm always wanting you

use me holly come on and use me
we go where we know

she's all i need
she's all i dream
she's all i'm always wanting you

and all again i wait for this
to fill a hole, to shake the sky in two
another night with her
i'm always wanting you
another night with her
but i'm always wanting you

adam's song

i never thought i'd die alone
i laughed the loudest who'd have known
i traced the cord back to the wall
no wonder it was never plugged in at all
i took my time, i hurried up
the choice was mine, i didn't think enough
i'm too depressed, to go on
you'll be sorry when i'm gone

i never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
days when i still felt alive
we couldn't wait to get outside
the world was wide, too late to try
the tour was over we'd survived
i couldn't wait till i got home
to pass the time in my room alone

i never thought i'd die alone
another six months i'll be unknown
give all my things to all my friends
you'll never step foot in my room again
you'll close it off, board it up
remember the time that i spilled the cup
Of apple juice in the hall
please tell mom this is not her fault

i never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
days when i still felt alive
we couldn't wait to get outside
the world was wide, too late to try
the tour was over but we'd survived
i couldn't wait till i got home
to pass the time in my room alone

i never conquered, rarely came
tomorrow holds such better days
days when i could still feel alive
when i can't wait to get outside
the world is wide, the time goes by
the tour is over i survived
and i can't wait till i get home
to pass the time in my room alone

i miss you

hello there
the angel from my nightmare
the shadow in the background of the morgue
the unsuspecting victim
of darkness in the valley
we can live like jack and sally
if we want
where you can always find me
and we'll have halloween on christmas
and in the night we'll wish this never ends
we'll wish this never ends

where are you?
and i'm so sorry
i cannot sleep
i cannot dream tonight
i need somebody and always
this sick, strange darkness
comes creeping on so haunting every time
and as i stared i counted
the webs from all the spiders
catching things and eating their insides
like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
will you come home
and stop this pain tonight?
stop this pain tonight

dont waste your time on me
you're already the voice inside my head

all the small things

all the small things
true care, truth brings
i'll take one lift
your ride, best trip

always, i know
you'll be at my show
watching, waiting
commiserating

say it ain't so, i will not go
turn the lights off, carry me home
na

late night, come home
work sucks, i know
she left me roses by the stairs
surprises let me know she cares

say it ain't so, i will not go
turn the lights off, carry me home
na

say it ain't so, i will not go
turn the lights off, carry me home
keep your head still, i'll be your thrill
the night will go on, my little windmill

say it ain't so, i will not go
turn the lights off, carry me home
keep your head still, i'll be your thrill
the night will go on, the night will go on
my little windmill

give me one good reason

mom and dad they quite don't understand it
all the kids they laugh as if they planned it
why do girls want to pierce their nose
and walk around in torn pantyhose
oh yeah

i like the ones who say they listen to the punk rock
i like the kids who fight against how
they were brought up
they hate the trends and think it's
fucked to care
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 don't want to and don't fit in

hate the jocks, the preps, the
hippie-fuckin' scumbags
heavy-metalers with their awful
pussy 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 don't want to and don't fit in

give me one good reason
Why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and offend
They don't want to and don't fit in

feelin this

i got no regret right now
the air is so cold and low
let me go in her room
i wanna take off her clothes
show me the way to bed
show me the way you move
fuck it it's such a blur
i love all the things you do

fate fell short this time
your smile fades in the summer
place your hand in mine
i'll leave when i wanna

where do we go from here
turn all the lights down now
smiling from ear to ear
our breathing has got too loud
show me the bedroom floor
show me the bathroom mirror
were taking this way too slow
take me away from here

fate fell short this time
your smile fades in the summer
place your hand in mine
i'll leave when i wanna

this place was never the same again
after you came and went
how can you say you meant anything different
to anyone standing alone on the street
with a cigarette on the first night we met

look to the past and remember her smile
and maybe tonight i can breathe for a while
i'm not in this scene i think i'm falling asleep
but then all that it means is i'll always be dreaming of you

fate fell short this time
your smile fades in the summer
place your hand in mine
i'll leave when i wanna

first date

in the car, i just can't wait...
to pick you up on our very first date
is it cool if i hold your hand?
is it wrong if i think it's lame to dance?
do you like my stupid hair?
would you guess that i didn't know what to wear?
i'm just scared of what you think.
you make me nervous so i really can't eat

lets go... don't 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
i'm not worthy for a minute of your time
i really wish it was only me and you
i'm jealous of everybody in the room
please dont look at me with those eyes
please dont hint that your capable of lies
i dread the thought of our very first kiss
a target that i'm probably gonna miss

lets go... don't 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

lets go... don't 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

(i'll never forget tonight)

forever,and ever... lets make this last forever
forever,and ever... lets make this last forever

(i'll never forget tonight)

stay together for the kids

it's hard to wake up
when the shades have been pulled shut
this house is haunted
it's so pathetic
it makes no sense at all
i'm ripe with things to say
the words rot and fall away
my stupid poem could fix this home
i'd read it everyday

so here's your holiday
hope you enjoy it this time
you gave it all away
it was mine
so when you're dead and gone
will you remember this night
twenty years now lost
it's not right

their anger hurts my ears
been running strong for seven years
rather than fix the problems
they never solve them
it makes no sense at all
i see them everyday
we get along, so why can't they?
if this is what he wants and it's what
she wants
then why's there so much pain?

so here's your holiday
hope you enjoy it this time
you gave it all away
it was mine
so when you're dead and gone
will you remember this night
twenty years now lost
it's not right

carousel

i talk to you every now and then
i never felt so alone again
i stop to think at a wishing well
my thoughts send me on a carousel

here i am standing on my own
not a motion from the telephone
now i know not a reason why
solitude is a reason to die

just you wait and see
as school life is a
it is a woken dream
aren't you feeling alone?

i guess its just another
i guess its just another
i guess its just another night alone

now as i walk down the street
i need a job just to sleep in sheets
buying food every once in a while
but not enough to purchase a smile

a tank of gas is a treasure to me
i know now that nothing is free
i talk to you every now and then
i never felt so alone again

just you wait and see
as school life is a
it is a woken dream
aren't you feeling alone?

i guess its just another
i guess its just another
i guess its just another night alone

always

i've been here before a few times
and i'm quite aware we're dying
and your hands they shake with goodbyes
and i'll take you back if you'd have me
so here i am, i'm trying
so here i am, are you ready?

come on let me hold you, touch you, feel you
always
kiss you, taste you, all night
always

and i'll miss your laugh your smile
i'll admit i'm wrong if you'd tell me
i'm so sick of fights i hate them
lets start this again for real

so here i am, i'm trying
so here i am, are you ready?

come on let me hold you, touch you ,feel you
always
kiss you, taste you, all night
always

i've been here before a few times
and i'm quite aware we're dying

come on let me hold you touch you feel you
always
kiss you taste you all night
always

what's my age again

i took her out it was friday night
i wore cologne to get the feeling right
we started making out and she took off my pants
but then i turned on the tv
and that's about the time that she walked away from me
nobody likes you when you're 23
and are still more amused by tv shows
what the hell is add?
my friends say i should act my age
what's my age again?
what's my age again?
then later on, on the drive home
i called her mom from a pay phone
i said i was the cops
and your husband's in jail
this state looks down on sodomy
and that's about the time that bitch hung up on me
nobody likes you when your 23
and are still more amused by prank phone calls
what the hell is caller id?
my friends say i should act my age
what's my age again?
what's my age again?
and that's about the time she walked away from me
nobody likes you when your 23
and you still act like you're in freshman year
what the hell is wrong with me?
my friends say i should act my age
what's my age again?
what's my age again?
that's about the time that she broke up with me
no one should take themselves so seriously
with many years ahead to fall in line
why would you wish that on me?
i never want to act my age
what's my age again?
