Don't Get Close
03:36
|

Let's get this show on the road
Been gone a long time I'm told
But now we're back to business
So grab your keys and your coat
Let's take a route we don't know
And sing to the crowd of the broken
I never wondered which way we'd go
An unfamiliar path or a place like home
And I can tell you what you wanna know
Just don't get close
Just don't get close
We all got lies that we tell
We all got souls we can sell
So just bet it all at once
Whether you like it or not
I'm the one that you got
An enemy you can trust
I never wondered which way we'd go
An unfamiliar path or a place like home
And I can tell you what you wanna know
Just don't get close
Just don't get close
Traveled near and traveled far
With you taggin along in the back of my car
I know you boys and the way that you are
Put your hearts on the line but you won't get far
A cold heart to hold masked in flame
The beauty of someone you don't get to blame
And now that it's over I still don't need you
Sorry it ends this way
There's nothing you can do
I never wondered which way we'd go
An unfamiliar path or a place like home
And I can tell you what you wanna know
Just don't get close
Just don't get close
I never wondered which way we'd go
An unfamiliar path or a place like home
And I can tell you what you wanna know
Just don't get close
Just don't get close
Just don't get close
Don't get close

You Were Wrong
06:13
|

We should never have met
There was no other way
Part of me wants to forget
Part of me wants you to stay
Do you remember that night
When we cried on my bed
You held me so tight
Thought I'd never be alone again
But now the distance between us
Is too much to bare
You hurt me so bad
But you don't even seem to care
If only you'd given us a chance
Then surely you would see
You would be able to realize
All the things that we will never get to be
And the scar on my hand
When I punched your car door
Well it's finally gone
And I just hope that you know
You know you were wrong
You were wrong
Yeah, you were wrong
Long gone
You were wrong
I try to remember
The good memories we had
When you took care of me
Helped when things were bad
But now I really wonder
If any of it ever meant a thing
You say that it did but
That was just in the beginning
If only you'd given us a chance
Then surely you would see
You would be able to realize
All the things that we will never get to be
And the scar on my hand
When I punched your car door
Well it's finally gone
And I just hope that you know
You know you were wrong
You were wrong
Yeah, you were wrong
Long gone
You were wrong
I really didn't want to
Give up on us
But you turned me away
Stole all my trust
And I was livin life
In black and white
Thought it'd never be the same
And I'm not the one to blame
I'm not the one to blame
To blame
I'm not the one to blame
And I just hope that you know, you know
You were wrong
You were wrong
Yeah, you were wrong
Long gone
You were wrong
You were wrong
Yeah, you were wrong
Long gone
You were wrong

The Law
05:05
|

Walk into the bar
There's a gun at his hip
Careful what you say
Or a bullet just might slip
All the things he's done
He's a real bad man
Look into his eyes
And you know his evil plan
Everyone's afraid
Says he's gonna hold em down
He better not stay around
Not in my town, not in my town
Cause I'm the law in this town
There ain't no mercy
No messin
Around in my town
Cause I'm the black steel
This time 'round
Won't see me comin
'For you runnin from my grounds
Cause I'm the law
I am the law
Cause I'm the law
I am the law
Rumor has it
He's a man with a wrath
A crazy vigilante
Don't wanna cross his path
Bible in one hand
Said he had a cause
Was the preacher's son
But had too many flaws
Drinkin through the night
Gamblin through the day
Swearin that he's fast
He thinks that he'll get away
But he won't see another day
Cause I'm the law in this town
There ain't no mercy
No messin
Around in my town
Cause I'm the black steel
This time 'round
Won't see me comin
'For you runnin from my grounds
Cause I'm the law
I am the law
Cause I'm the law
I am the law
I'm meaner than a junkyard dog
I'm crueler than the knife
That cuts down hard
So when we meet out
On the road
I'm gonna hit em
Like he never been hit before
Cause I'm the law
I am the law
Cause I'm the law
I am the law
Cause I'm the law in this town
There ain't no mercy
No messin
Around in my town
Cause I'm the black steel
This time 'round
Won't see me comin
'For you runnin from my grounds
Cause I'm the law
I am the law
Cause I'm the law
I am the law
No messin around in my town
Cause I'm the law
Cause I'm the law
I am the law

Blame
04:30
|
|||
Broken bones and a long way home
No where to run and nowhere to go
Your jealousy wrapped tight in lies
So wear your smile like a disguise
Invincible and young at first
Poor little boy your heart will burst
Go out at night and have your fun
What will you regret when the sun comes up
But at the end of the day
Blame it on the alcohol poisoning
The drugs and the drama and the shame
You're over it, out of it, done with it
But in the end you know that you're to blame
You're to blame
You're to blame
Try to walk straight on the line
Blurred vision but doing fine
Hit rock bottom once a week
When suffering is at its peak
But at the end of the day
Blame it on the alcohol poisoning
The drugs and the drama and the shame
You're over it, out of it, done with it
But in the end you know that you're to blame
You're to blame
You're to blame
Then comes the night where you show up late
Blood shot eyes paired with self hate
Just wanna drag us all down with you
Don't you, don't you, don't you
Think you deserve all that pain you go through
It's just a matter of time till they come for you
I think it's time to shape up kid
Don't you, don't you, don't you
Skate board tricks and ecstasy
Why won't you just talk to me
Doing what the cool kids do
Even if it's hurting you
But at the end of the day
Blame it on the alcohol poisoning
The drugs and the drama and the shame
You're over it, out of it, done with it
But you know in the end that you're to blame
You're to blame
You're to blame
You're to blame
You're to blame

The Man in the Pictures
05:08
|
|||
The smile he gave
I cannot remember
It's all just a mix of loud voices and pain
And the laughter
Finds a way
To slip through my memory and disintegrate
The things that he said
He swore he did not mean
He can't take them back, it's too late
On one hand I think
I could hate him forever
On the other I think I'm just too tired of hate
What happened to the man in the pictures
How and when did he lose his way
If you see him will you tell him that I miss him
and if he wants he'll come back any day
I often find myself
At a loss for words
Like the broken record life continues to turn
With scratches and shatters
Getting nowhere that matters
You will never find your way
What happened to the man in the pictures
How and when did he lose his way
If you see him will you tell him that I miss him
and if he wants he'll come back any day, any day
If he's too drinking 'way his sorrows
If he's still smoking his lungs red and raw
Tell him I still might have room to forgive him
As long as he promised to make up for his flaws
What happened to the man in the pictures
How and when did he lose his way
If you see him will you tell him that I miss him
and if he wants he'll come back any day
What happened to the man in the pictures
How and when did he lose his way
If you see him will you tell him that I miss him
and if he wants he'll come back any day, any day

How will you ever know if you never try?
That's what I've been thinkin
Don't ever let your true dreams die
Always felt like you were meant for greatness
They try to put you down
When they don't know what your name is
I feel like hope can be the message this could send
You know they say that success is the best revenge
They say you're never gonna make it
You just gotta prove them wrong
And when they tell you to be quiet, yeah
You just gotta sing your song
Don't got no room to be anxious, no
Can't let that fear scare you
They say you're never gonna make it
So you know just what to do
Do you really think that you're good enough
That's what they've been askin
Don't they know my will is tough
What if they don't even look your way
I could get em screamin
Get em callin out my name
All this worrying never did no good
So i guess I'll just sing like I always knew I should
They say you're never gonna make it
You just gotta prove them wrong
And when they tell you to be quiet, yeah
You just gotta sing your song
Don't got no room to be anxious, no
Can't let that fear scare you
They say you're never gonna make it
So you know just what to do
I feel like hope can be the message this could send
You know they say that success is the best revenge
They say you're never gonna make it
You just gotta prove them wrong
And when they tell you to be quiet, yeah
You just gotta sing your song
Don't got no room to be anxious, no
Can't let that fear scare you
They say you're never gonna make it
So you know just what to do
You're never gonna make it
You're never gonna make it
You're never gonna make it
You know you're gonna make it

Blind Future
03:52
|
|||
It comes in waves
The decisions you made
And the feelings they left behind
Another day
Passing by
Are you running out of time, out of time
You think you're fine
Then suddenly
You break down and you cry
What is right
And what is wrong
Forget the truth and tell a lie
What am I supposed to do
When I can't make up my own mind
The chance you take and the choice you make
Just don't get left behind
The past is the past
The present is now
The future is blind
The future is blind
You fear the end
Is coming near
Lowest lows or highest highs
Security
Is a lethal thing
So go ahead and kiss it goodbye
What am I supposed to do
When I can't make up my own mind
The chance you take and the choice you make
Just don't get left behind
The past is the past
The present is now
The future is blind
The future is blind
In the end I guess it's said
You'll never know if you never try
Play it safe, do what you're told
I think I'd rather die
The past is the past
The present is now
The future is blind
The future is blind
The past is the past
The present is now
The future is blind
The future is blind

Unconditionally
04:28
|

You're always there for me
When times are hard
I care about you more
Than nights have stars
You're my whole world
And I know I'm yours
No matter what you do
You're the one I adore
We faced the storm together
Sunny skies or fair weather
I've got your back and you've got mine
I think we'll be best friends till the end of time
Cause you've been with me
Since day one
Without you where would I be
I hope you know
What you mean to me
And I will always love you unconditionally
Sundays afternoons
Without a care
Cartwheels on the beach
With windblown hair
I look into your eyes
And I know I'm sure
That all I want in life
To take care of you
We faced the storm together
Sunny skies or fair weather
I've got your back and you've got mine
I think we'll be best friends till the end of time
Cause you've been with me
Since day one
Without you where would I be
I hope you know
What you mean to me
And I will always love you unconditionally
We'll buy a house on the California coast
Drive round San Francisco and the valley
Listening to Billy Joel and Bob Marley
Your eyes a clear sky blue
I'm so grateful for all that you do
Just wanna take care of you
Cause you've been with me
Since day one
Without you where would I be
I hope you know
What you mean to me
And I will always love you
Cause you've been with me
Since day one
Without you where would I be
I hope you know
What you mean to me
And I will always love you unconditionally
I will always love you
Unconditionally
I will always love you
Unconditionally
I will always love you
Unconditionally

Four walls
Big or small
Doesn't matter if you
Claim it for your own and
Pencil marks
That I would know
Bringin back the days
Past selves would grow but
Times change
We stay the same
Ceilings without paint
Cobwebs turned a shade of grey
Like the storm winds blow
Shake the foundaition
Freeze up in the snow
It's not perfect
Not even close
But it's the only place
I've ever known
Narrow halls are
Filled with the echoes
From all the music
That I got to know
Around the world or
Anywhere to roam
It couldn't compare
Cause this is my home
In the house
I'm all alone
Sittin on the counter
Talkin for hours on my phone
But they don't even
Hear a thing
Gotta knock pretty loudly
When there's no doorbell to ring
It's not perfect
Not even close
But it's the only place
I've ever known
Narrow halls are
Filled with the echoes
From all the music
That I got to know
Around the world or
Anywhere to roam
It couldn't compare
Cause this is my home
This is my home
Always said that one day
We'd move away
Be somewhere better
With plenty of open space
But I could never bare to let them
Tear it down
No I could never, never bare
To let this roof touch the ground
There's treasure buried somewhere
In the yard
Animal bones and stones
Thrown too far
Got smoke detectors
That won't ever make a sound
And the broken couch
Where me and her used to lounge
It's not perfect
Not even close
But it's the only place
I've ever known
Narrow halls are
Filled with the echoes
From all the music
That I got to know
Around the world or
Anywhere to roam
It couldn't compare
Cause this is my home
This is my home
It's not perfect
Not even close
But it's the only place
I've ever known
Narrow halls are
Filled with the echoes
From all the music
That I got to know
Around the world or
Anywhere to roam
It couldn't compare
Cause this is my home

18's been a pretty good year to me
I laughed till I cried
but I wept till I filled the sea
I thought I found love
But love wasn't ready for me
And I had some good times
Finally felt like I was free
Quite a long way from home
Or so it seems
Learned a lot about myself and
What lonely means
And I never tried to be
Somebody I shouldn't be
Cause when the clouds roll in
The rain can't make me flee
And now I'm sitting here left with all these memories
Cause I was 18
And I saw all the things I was
Supposed to see
I've lived all these stories
Trust me
When I say that I'm livin the dream
And I finally know what it is to be happy
I always thought that
I'd be in control
But life took off in a run
Before I even had the chance to stroll
And I learned sometimes
I should just trust destiny
Because I got some good things
Like that thing with you and me
And then love came back with a brand new meaning
Cause I was 18
And I saw all the things I was
Supposed to see
I've lived all these stories
Trust me
When I say that I'm livin the dream
I finally know what it is to be happy
So when you get that feelin
Where you think that you're trapped
Backed into a corner
Feelin like you can't turn back
Just take it from me
When I tell you that
You'll always have a second chance
And that's a fact
I was 18
And I saw all the things I was
Supposed to see
I've lived all these stories
Trust me
When I say that I'm livin the dream
I finally know what it is
Cause I was 18
And I saw all the things I was
Supposed to see
I've lived all these stories
Trust me
When I say that I'm livin the dream
I finally know what it means to be happy
18
What it is to be happy
18
What it is to be happy
18
Happy at 18
