Pack your things we’re going somewhere Thought you said we’re going nowhere I don’t know, I got a feeling Something’s out there Strap my wits and tune my heartstrings Hope and pray they’re good for something They don’t understand but I know What it means to Be alone when no one’s home You knock upon my door Everyone wants to be pretty Blow shit up, move to the city Be a star in Hollywood and Prove their parents wrong I’m alone and disenchanted Made three wishes, none were granted Lost myself and found another Now I have to Crawl my way back to the place The place where it began Pack your things we’re going somewhere Pack your things we’re going somewhere Pack your things we’re going somewhere Going somewhere far away

When she takes the only thing you used to hold Then you start to understand the real meaning of the word “lonely” You lost a lover and a friend going out of control Now you try your best just to see the morning And when the dawn is closing I know my time is slipping No it ain’t easy when you’re living on the edge And you’re hoping every day that nobody’s gonna push you over It’s your mind or it’s your life out here in the storm Where a chance of rain waits at every corner Oh life can be so funny It’s raining when it’s sunny Oh we’re the losers Living on borrowed time Got no reason or rhyme Wonder why we’re so miserable Yeah we’re the losers Under the yellow sky Got no feathers to fly Everyone knows we’re miserable Take a moment to reflect upon your life Do you think you can recall the very moment that your heart was broken? Does it matter in the end who suffered the most For a love that was destined to be left abandoned? Oh do you hear her crying? Did you give up on trying? Oh we’re the losers Living on borrowed time Got no reason or rhyme Wonder why we’re so miserable Yeah we’re the losers Under the yellow sky Got no feathers to fly Everyone knows we’re miserable Oh we’re the losers Living on borrowed time Got no reason or rhyme Wonder why we’re so miserable Yeah we’re the losers Under the yellow sky Got no feathers to fly Everyone knows we’re miserable

Wren Street 03:03
I spent my days running from What I couldn’t see Just thinking the clueless guy Would never be me All the love I gave to others I’d never receive If you’re gonna break my heart now Please make it brief Oh my my Well it’s like you want me to try Get me the hell out of Wren Street And back to the start I never saw sunny skies Without any rain I’d never admit that I Was partly insane I feel like I’m missing something That never was on The gauntlet is on your hand now One snap and I’m gone Oh my my Well it’s like you want me to try Get me the hell out of Wren Street And back to the start Oh my my Well it’s like you want me to try Get me the hell out of Wren Street And back to the start Get me the hell out of Wren Street And back to the start Get me the hell out of Wren Street And back to the start

Fall at the Northtown Mall yeah we had it all Auntie Anne's Pretzels and an arcade hall But there's just one place that I'd always grace 'Cause I couldn't wait just to see her face Or share her space Black and green hair dye Spectacled brown eyes Sailor Moon pin-up poster tattoo on her thigh Queen of the scene girl Green jelly bean girl She was a Hot Topic Cashier She had a nose piercing, she's all I could see Into Fall Out Boy and Uzumaki When she rang me up then I fell in love Heard the angels singing way up above I'm thinking of Black and green hair dye Spectacled brown eyes Sailor Moon pin-up poster tattoo on her thigh Queen of the scene girl Green jelly bean girl She was a Hot Topic Cashier And she had a boyfriend Oh how I cried and cried that night I saw them kissing, and here's the worst thing I never even got a chance to learn her name Black and green hair dye Spectacled brown eyes Sailor Moon pin-up poster tattoo on her thigh Queen of the scene girl Green jelly bean girl She was a Hot Topic oh She was a Hot Topic oh She was a Hot Topic Cashier

War In Peace 04:37
You’re sweet and you’re beautiful Aqua blue just like the sea You’re exactly what I need right now In safe security and how Can I explain if you can’t see my mind? But you seem to know my smile And I know it’s all worthwhile When I turn around and say This pain’s come in for the second time But it won’t be here to stay They’ll start a war in my peace of mind But it’s fine, it’s fine, it’s fine Everything will be alright It’s fine, it’s fine Everything will be alright I don’t need love in every form I just need you to stick around I’ve been brought up I’ve been kicked down I’ve been all around this town But I know that you never will be mine If real emotions pass us by There’s no time to say goodbye But you know I’ll be okay This pain’s come in for the second time But it won’t be here to stay They’ll start a war in my peace of mind But it’s fine, it’s fine, it’s fine Everything will be alright It’s fine, it’s fine Oh this pain’s come in for the second time But it won’t be here to stay, oh no They’ll start a war in my peace of mind But it’s fine, it’s fine, it’s fine Everything will be alright It’s fine, it’s fine Everything will be alright It’s fine, it’s fine Everything will be alright It’s fine, it’s fine Everything will be alright

Alarm, it rings The bird in my head sings Dragging me from dream land To the cruel world Roll out of bed Shake up my sleepy head Look around the room There’s no one there And I never knew Without you This could hurt so much And I know that I’d Rather die Than to live this way I feel so free But I’m in agony Looking out the window To a gray sky It once was blue Now it’s gone just like you Rain is pouring down Upon my face And I never knew Without you This could hurt so much And I know that I’d Rather die Than to live this way And I never knew Without you This could hurt so much And I know that I’d Rather die Than to live this way

Sitting alone in the backseat Maybe I should hail a taxi Maybe I should find my own way home Time for me to stop relying On people who don’t understand me Time for me to crash in my own car I always try to see the bright side Sometimes I hide behind my shadow I won’t cut again I promise you Sometimes my mind runs without me And I can’t follow where it’s going Maybe it’s best that I stay right here You’re running from a future that you don’t even know Put away the needle and get on with the show Can you feel it baby? You’ve been waiting for this Drifting along by the side of the road Who says you gotta carry this heavy load? Can you feel it sweetheart? Look at the world around you Floating on air There’s nobody there Maybe I’m back at home at last Floating on air Does anyone care? Maybe I’m back at home at last

Well now I don’t know ‘til you Tell me so, so ya Go your way But don’t go mine ‘Cause I Seen you cry and I still Don’t know why, now ya Think I’m gone But I feel fine I know that she can’t give up her pride I know it’s something she won’t hide But a love like hers is wrong And I won’t stay here for long So I’ll be gone before the sun goes down Well I’ve been Hit before but I Know for sure what you Want from me I just can’t sell You’ve been Out too long and it Seems so wrong If you forget My name It’s just as well I know that she can’t give up her pride I know it’s something she won’t hide But a love like hers is wrong And I won’t stay here for long So I’ll be gone before the sun goes down I know that she can’t give up her pride I know it’s something she won’t hide But a love like hers is wrong And I won’t stay here for long So I’ll be gone before the sun goes down

She wants daffodils at her funeral She don't want no one to cry She doesn’t want friends to think it's come to an end On the day she dies We talked all night She gave my life new light She made me count my blessings twice She opened my eyes She almost made me cry And this is what she said to me She wants daffodils at her funeral She don't want no one to cry She doesn’t want friends to think it's come to an end On the day she dies I wish with all my might I could relive that night When hope felt so tangible An angel on her way Living day by day And this is what she says to me She says that She wants daffodils at her funeral She don't want no one to cry She doesn’t want friends to think it's come to an end On the day she dies She wants daffodils at her funeral She don't want no one to cry She doesn’t want friends to think it's come to an end On the day she dies On the day she dies On the day she dies

One More 03:54
One hand in the air One hand on your heart One shot could be all we’re missing One flick of the wrist One turn of the wheel One moment to find a new horizon Take a moment, just take in the air that you breathe Take a moment just to feel your hair in the breeze It’s not the paradise they promised you We’ll build a real one if we make it through One shot at the truth One ego to spare One minute to lose everything One soul among all One heart beating still One meeting could change it all forever Take a look up at the sky and go on ahead If I never made it back then maybe I’m dead If I could be there when you needed me Then I could break out of this fantasy One foot in the door One moment of truth One love and one life One dream coming true One mind-bending lie One heart-stopping blow One second to Make it Break it Shake it Take it
