Maybe Won't Do
Some call it love I don't know what you're thinkin' of Such a mystery to me Somehow you always like to play undercover It's your path to discover Roll me like we're tumbling dice A wrecking ball rag doll ain't no breathing space All the tapes have been erased Prize fighter taking all the punches he can stand And dropping on command All my dreams are trying to come true But all I ever wanted was you
What don't you understand Forget the master plan I'd give it all away to have you back again I said it in my letter So we could make it better No need for you to read between the lines Baby can I be your baby Definitely maybe won't do
Ruby red play dead they don't make a sound Plastic soldiers in a row You're shouting calling all destroyers what to do They're coming after you Surrender but the battle is won
She thought of cars where to drive trying to survive How to make the great escape Still watching live on other planets fall apart She wears it on her heart All my dreams are trying to come true But all I ever wanted was you
Someday you'll see All our worlds collide Way out in space
Hell Yeah
She likes the boys in the band I'm moving fast as I can Sliding over in her direction Pause to check out my reflection She's wearing all the right clothes The jam is playing on the stereo Checking emails on her phone She got more hits than the rolling stones
Hell yeah so young and fine Could she be the one my baby I'm gonna make her mine At least for tonight Hey ya'll I gotta know Did she get my number maybe You tell her blow me up I'm one call away, hell yeah
She's everything that you need The kinda girl we all dream of Long legs never stop Like all those videos in zz topp She got the stars in her eyes And she don't mind if you tease her Can't get her outta my mind Can't you see she put the freak on me
You know it hurts when she looks so bad Can't you see you're the best thing I never had I'm walking out the door before I act like a fool (She's not that cool)
The Geeks Get The Girls
Another Friday night, to get the feeling right At the bar when he sees her coming over What you gonna do, if she walks up to you Tongue tied better get yourself together Pound another drink, to give him time to think What's your sign hey I think you know a friend of mine All the stupid lines, that he had ever heard Wouldn't come to mind he couldn't say a word
Tonight tonight, he's gonna get it right Even losers can get lucky sometimes All the freaks go on a winning streak In a perfect world, all the geeks get the girls
Got her holding steady, forget her name already Sweatin' hard not a smooth operator She's got it going on, dancing to her favorite song He's got the line is it your place or mine She turns and walks away, where did he go wrong? But waiting by the car, she says what took you so long
Tonight tonight, he's gonna get it right Even losers can get lucky sometimes All the freaks go on a winning streak In a perfect world, all the geeks get the girls
The very next day, he guessed she ran away The one and only in his bed so lonely But she comes walking in, with coffee and a grin Crazy as it seems, it wasn't just a dream And all around the world, people shout it out The geeks get the girls
Last night he finally got it right Even losers can get lucky sometimes All the freaks go on a winning streak Shout it all around the world cause the geeks get the girls
Something Real
Staring down the boulevard Crescent heights the city lights the way To another wasted day Shiny cars and shooting stars California dreaming in my ear I just wish that you were here I'm dealing with scars Just trying to see who we are Nobody said it would be easy Fighting your way through another day I think I know how you feel Looking for something that matters Keeping it together when it's all been shattered We all want something real
Summer's on a holiday Pills to chase the blues away Who knows just how far this story goes So listen to the radio Turn it up so you can sing along Even though the notes are wrong I'm building up walls And trying to break all the falls
All your life you're wondering We don't know what's happening Somethings gotta give Falling through the atmosphere See the world in black and white These pictures coming clear How many times I wished that you were here
We Can't Be Friends
We were good, playin' hard, rollin' down the boulevard Liquor drinks, between the bars Making out, back of cars Hey, you see that girl? She's the one that wrecked my world Think you're gonna take it far She don't wanna know who you are Sunset strip, back in black, i'm right on track Holdin' court like obie wan, baby's got it goin' on So what am I supposed to do She left me I got nothin' to lose Exit axis bold as love got a new girl i'm thinkin' of One thing you gotta know I thought I did everything just to keep you around I hope that you're happy now I'll keep my good intentions and you keep the car This story's coming to an end Baby we can't be friends
Disco trip, party ships, breakin' down those ruby lips Ex-girlfriend, comes in view Sees me there with someone new Hey, you see that girl? She's the one I wrecked her world Baby's in my cadillac, drivin' off no lookin' back
What makes you think I'd wanna call? I forgot your number What makes you think I care at all?
Separation Anxiety
No one told me there'd be days like these I'm sick of sinkin' man I'm on my knees Tell me again just why you lied to me It's separation anxiety Where did I go wrong? Is what I'm feeling Some kinda love song To stop the bleedin' Get on the right track We'll never make it back You go the wrong way You're goin' my way All the things I said to you are over now And I just can't get over you
Since you've been gone I fall apart I knew you'd leave me from the very start Tell me again just what you want from me It's separation anxiety
The Everlasting Fall
Waking up late, a grey Sunday mourning Got up on the wrong side, so go back to bed Newspaper says, it's gonna be raining At least until Wednesday, but I pay no mind The wonder of it all Caught up in the everlasting fall Watch the years roll by Counting shooting stars across the sky You can wait a whole lifetime to figure it out The best days are the ones we forgot about
I can't complain, it's been such a mild winter Flip on the TV, those shows that we love The sun will go down, on a north Tulsa sky line Over and over, like the day before
We know everything must have an end, we can't pretend It's so nice of you to stick around
Highs And Lows
Nobody really knows the pain But everybody knows your name You've got their full attention, all eyes on you Small talk can get you through the day There's got to be a better way When all your friends are faceless You can fake it He knows the highs and lows He'll give you what you need And we all agree it's time to shine He'll stand and deliver He goes about his day Smile and a wink hello When the picture's gone Fading to black he's poppin' down prozac Nobody knows the highs and the lows
Sports cars and fancy souvenirs That you collected all these years So proud and self assured, hold your head high A chest of broken memories Of how and why and what could be Still locked inside your closet You can't fake it
Baby Come Home
I understand your point of view So what do I say I've been so underwhelmed before You've got a lot to prove Somewhere lines get crossed it's true It's the nature of things The longer we can see it through The more we make believe Baby likes a blue sky I don't mind if it's gonna rain on me sometime Maybe got her mind made up for sure Baby won't you come back home?
All the people that we love Disappoint us the most Makeshift friends and low demands We're running outta time
My late night call One way to fall I miss you still
Where Did We Go Wrong
Monday morning and the coffee's on What happened to my perfect world Front page news she's already gone Say hello to the goodbye girl LA traffic don't make it better I wonder if she read my letter 9 to 5 keep it all alive Some days are hard to survive I feel so down about it
I don't wanna be alone Just waiting by the phone I can't stand another night on my own With a new day rising, realizing That you gotta be free break it down to you and me Is it everything you want it to be I wanted you all along So where did we go wrong?
Never had a lot of money But we spent a good time in the city Drinking wine and watching the tele Old movies she sure looked pretty This kitchen feels so alone Haven't cleaned since she's been gone Spend my nights at your favorite bar And wonder where you are I feel so down about it
I don't wanna turn back time I just wanna change your mind I just want a chance to prove to you I really wanna chase these clouds away Save them for a rainy day There's nothing left to say
Hearts On Parade
I don't understand How we drift so far away I keep on holding on But your hands are feeling so numb Nobody told me that there would be days like these I'm falling baby can't you see And you're in no hurry to keep me from coming undone Take a look at what we've become Where do we go from here? I don't wanna disappear Our hearts are on parade So you can watch them fade
I don't understand how the worst of times Get stuck in your mind I'd like to take away All the stupid things that we say
