"Sk8er Boi"
He was a boy
She was a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?
He was a punk.
And she did ballet.
What morea can I say?
He wanted her.
She'd never tell.
Secretely she wanted him as well.
And all of her friends
Stuck up their nose.
And they had a problem with his baggy clothes.
He was a sk8er boi she said see ya later boi.
He wasn't good enough for her.
She had a pretty face but her head was up in space.
She needed to come back down to earth.
Five years from now she sits at home feeding the baby she's all alone.
She turns on TV and guess who she sees.
Sk8er boi rocking up MTV.
She calls up her friends.
They already know
And they've all got tickets to see his show.
She tags along, stands in the crowd . Looks up at the man that she turned down.
He was a sk8er boi she said see ya later boi. He wasn't good enough for her.
Now he's a superstar slammin on his guitar to show pretty face what he's worth.
Sorry girl but you missed out. Well tough luck that boi's mine now. We are more than just good friends. This is how the story ends. Too
bad that you couldn't see.. see the man that boi could be. There is more than meets the eye, I see the soul that is inside.
He's just a boi, and I'm just a girl.
Can I make it anymore obvious?
We are in love.
Haven't you heard how we rock eachother's world?
I met the sk8er boi I said see ya later boi.
I'll be backstage after the show.
I'll be at the studio singing the song he wrote about a girl he use to know.
I met the sk8er boi I said see ya later boi.
I'll be backstage after the show.
I'll be at the studio singing the song he wrote about a girl he use to know.
I'm With You
I'm standing on the bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound
Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?
(Chorus)
It's a damn cold night!
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
(Mmm..)
I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here I know?
'Cause nothing's going right
And everythings a mess
And no one likes to be alone
Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?
(CHORUS)
Oh!
Why is everything so confusing?
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yeah.. yeah.. yeah!..yeah.. yeah,
yeah.. yeah, yeah yeah,YEAH...
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I....!
I'm with YOU...
I'm with YOU...
Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I!
I'm with you...
I'm with you...
Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I
I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you
Mobile
Went back home again
This sucks, gotta pack up and leave again
Say goodbye to all my friends
Can't say when I'll be there again
Its time now, I turn around
Turn my back on everything
Turn my back on everything
[chorus]
Everything's changing when I turn around
All out of my control
I'm a mobile
Everything's changing everywhere i go
All out of my control
I'm a mobile
Start back at this life
Stretch myself back into the vibe
I'm waking up to say I've tried
Instead of waking up to another TV Guide
Its time now, I turn around
Turn and walk on this crazy ground
[chorus]
Everything's changing when I turn around
All out of my control
I'm a mobile
Everything's changing everywhere i go
All out of my control
I'm a mobile
Everywhere i go, I'm a mobile
Hanging from the ceiling
Life's a mobile
Spinning 'round with mixed feelings
Crazy and wild
Sometimes I wanna scream out loud
Everything's changing everywhere I go
All out of my control
Everything's changing everywhere I go
Out of what I know
La la la la la la la la la
[chorus]
Everything's changing when I turn around
All out of my control
I'm a mobile
Everything's changing out of what I know
Everywhere I go
I'm a mobile
Everywhere I go
I'm a mobile
Unwanted
All they did was walk over
Start off by shaking your hands
That's how it went
I had a smile on my face and I sat up straight
Oh, yeah, yeah
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you
[chorus]
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
You don't want me there
You just shut me out
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
If you had your way
You'd just shut me up
Make me go away
No, I just don't understand why
you won't talk to me
It hurts that I'm so unwanted for nothing
Don't talk words against me
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you
[chorus]
I tried to belong
It didn't seem wrong
My head aches
Its been so long
Ill write this song
if That's what it takes
Tomorrow
And I wanna believe you,
When you tell me that it'll be ok,
Ya I try to believe you,
But I don't
When you say that it's gonna be,
It always turns out to be a different way,
I try to believe you,
Not today, today, today, today, today...
[Chorus:]
I don't know how I'll feel,
tomorrow, tomorrow,
I don't know what to say,
tomorrow, tomorrow
Is a different day
It's always been up to you,
It's turning around,
It's up to me,
I'm gonna do what I have to do,
just don't
Gimme a little time,
Leave me alone a little while,
Maybe it's not too late,
not today, today, today, today, today...
[Chorus:]
I don't know how to feel,
tomorrow, tomorrow,
I don't know what to say,
tomorrow, tomorrow
Is a different day
And I know I'm not ready,
Maybe tomorrow
And I wanna believe you,
When you tell me that it'll be ok,
Ya I try to believe you,
Not today, today, today, today, today...
Anything But Ordinary
Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby
Sometimes I drive so fast
Just to feel the danger
I wanna scream
It makes me feel alive
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
To walk within the lines
Would make my life so boring
I want to know that I
Have been to the extreme
So knock me off my feet
Come on now give it to me
Anything to make me feel alive
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.
Let down your defences
Use no common sense
If you look you will see
that this world is this beautiful
accident turbulent succulent
opulent permanent no way
I wanna taste it
Dont wanna waste it away
Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh my self to sleep
It's my lullaby
Is it enough?
Is it enough?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
Is it enough?
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
My World
Please tell me what is takin' place,
Cuz I can't seem to find a trace,
Guess it must have got away somehow,
Probably cuz I always forget,
Everytime someone tells me their name,
It's always gotta be the same.
(In my World)
Never wore cover-up,
Always beat the boys up,
Grew up in a five thousand population town,
Made my money by cutting grass,
Got fired by fried chicken ass,
All in a small town, Napanee.
You know I always stay up without sleepin',
And think to myself,
Where do I belong forever,
In whose arms, the time and place?
[Chorus:]
Can't help if I space in a daze,
My eyes turn out the other way,
I may switch off and go in a daydream,
In this head my thoughts are deep,
but sometimes I can't even speak,
would someone be and not pretend? I'm off again in my World
I never spend less than an hour,
Washin' my hair in the shower,
It always takes five hours to make it straight,
So I'll braid it in a zillion braids,
Though it may take all frickin' day,
There's nothin' else better to do anyway.
When you're all alone in the lands of forever,
Lay under the milky way,
On and on it's getting too late out,
I'm not in love this time this night.
[Chorus:]
Can't help if I space in a daze,
My eyes turn out the other way,
I may switch off and go in a daydream,
In this head my thoughts are deep,
But sometimes I can't even speak,
Would someone be and not pretend? I'm off again in my World
(la la la la)
Take some time,
Mellow out,
Party it up,
But don't fall down,
Don't get caught,
Sneak out of the house.
[Chorus:]
Can't help if I space in a daze,
My eyes turn out the other way,
I may switch off and go in a daydream,
In this head my thoughts are deep,
But sometimes I can't even speak,
would someone be and not pretend? I'm off again in my World
Can't help if I space in a daze,
My eyes turn out the other way,
I may switch off and go in a daydream,
In this head my thoughts are deep,
would someone be and not pretend? I'm off again in my World
Nobody's Fool
Fall back
Take a look at me
And you'll see I'm for real
I feel what only I can feel
And if that don't appeal to you
Let me know
And I'll go
'Cuz I flow
Better when my colors show
And that's the way it has to be
Honestly
'Cuz creativity could never bloom
In my room
I'd throw it all away before I lie
So don't call me with a compromise
Hang up the phone
I've got a backbone stronger than yours
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
[chorus]
If you're trying to turn me into someone else
Its easy to see I'm not down with that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen enough and I'm over that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
Don't know
You think you know me like yourself
But I fear
That you're only telling me what I wanna hear
But do you give a damn
Understand
That I can't not be what I am
I'm not the milk and cheerios in your spoon
Its not a simple here we go, not so soon
I might've fallen for that when I was fourteen
And a little more green
But its amazing what a couple of years can mean
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
[chorus]
Go ahead and try
Try and look me in the eye
But you'll never see inside
Until you realize, realize
Things are trying to settle down
Just try to figure out
Exactly what I'm about
If its with or without you
I don't need your doubt in me
Too Much To Ask
Its the first time I ever felt this lonely
I wish someone could cure this pain
Its funny when you think its gonna work out
Til you chose weed over me, you're so lame
I thought you were cool until the point
But up until the point you didnt call me
When you said you would
I finally figured out youre all the same
Always coming up with some kind of story
Everytime I try to make you smile
You're always feeling sorry for yourself
Everytime I try to make you laugh
You can't you're too tough
You think you're loveless
Is it too much that I'm asking for?
I thought you'd come around when I ignored you
Sorta thought you'd have the decency to change
But babe, I guess you didn't take that warning
'Cause I'm not about to look at your face again
Can't you see that you lie to yourself
You can't see the world through a mirror
It wont be too late when the smoke clears
'Cause I, I am still here
But everytime I try to make you smile
You'd always grow up feeling sorry for yourself
Everytime I try to make you laugh
You stand like a stone
Alone in your zone
Is it too much that I'm asking for?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Can't find where i am
Lying here
Alone I fear
Afraid of the dark
No one to claim
Alone again
Can't you see that you lie to yourself
You can't see the world through a mirror
It wont be too late when the smoke clears
'Cause I, I am still here
Everytime I try to make you smile
You're always feeling sorry for yourself
Everytime I try to make you laugh
You can't you're too tough
You think you're loveless
It was too much that I asked him for
Naked
I wake up in the morning, put on my face
the one that's gonna get me, through another day
doesn't really matter, how I feel inside
this life is like a game sometimes
but then you came around me, the walls just disappeared
nothing to surround me, and keep me from my fears
I'm unprotected, see how I've opened up
oh, you've made me trust
cause I've never felt like this before
I'm naked, around you, does it show?
you see right through me, and I can't hide
I'm naked, around you
and it feels so right
I'm tyring to remember, why I was afraid
to be myself and let the, covers fall away
I guess I never had someone like you, to help me fit
in my skin
I never felt like this before
I'm naked, around you
does it show?
you see right through me, and I can't hide
I'm naked, around you
And it feels so right
I'm naked
oh oh yeah
does it show?
yeah, I'm naked
oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
o-oh
I'm naked around you
does it show?
I'm so naked around you
and I can't hide
your gonna, your gonna see right through
(see right through me and I can't hide)
your gonna see right through
oh yeah yeah
I'm so naked around you
and I can't hide
you're gonna see right through, baby
Things I'll Never Say
Im talking out my hair
Im pulling at my clothes
Im trying to keep my cool
I know it shows
Im staring at my feet
My checks are turning red
Im searching for the words inside my head
[Pre-Chorus]
(Cause) Im feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know youre worth it
Youre worth it
Yeah
If I could say what I want to say
Id say what about you
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, Im wishing my life away
With these things Ill never say
It dont do me any good
Its just a waste of time
What use is it to you
Whats on my mind
If aint coming out
Were not going anywhere
So why cant I just tell you that I care
(Cause) Im feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know youre worth it
Youre worth it
Yeah
If I could say what I want to say
Id say what about you
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, Im wishing my life away
With these things Ill never say
Whats wrong with my tongue
These words keep slipping away
I stutter, I stumble off
Like Ive got nothing to say
(Cause) Im feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know youre worth it
Youre worth it
Yeah
Yes Im wishing my life away with these things Ill never say
If I could say what I want to say
Id say what about you
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, Im wishing my life away
With these things Ill never say
These things Ill never say
