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

The Miserable Losers
04:08
|

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

Hot Topic Cashier
02:43

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

I'd Rather Die
03:35
|
|||
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

Floating On Air
04:00
|
|||
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

Before The Sun Goes Down
03:32
|
|||
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

Daffodils At Her Funeral
02:15
|
|||
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
