Nervous I get nervous when she's near is it something in the atmosphere or is it just her confidence that leaves me so defenseless I don't know what to say when she's around she steals the air from me and it is difficult to breathe she makes me lose my senses She walks into the room immediately I am doomed I have no defense the Blue Planet's archeress her arrow pierced my chest and I've been her slave ever since She could be the one for me I get so weak around her, I know that we were meant to be I can't believe I found her. When I saw her in the hall I stared too much and hit the wall She must think I'm a stupid guy cause I get so distracted. There's something in the way she sees the humor in my stupidity. If you met her you'd know why I'm helplessly attracted She walks into the room immediately I am doomed I have no defense the Blue Planet's archeress her arrow pierced my chest and I've been her slave ever since She could be the one for me I get so weak around her, I know that we were meant to be I can't believe I found her.

Peter Vest (I stole your n64) He wakes up in the middle of the night Reach the phone and tells me something isn't right I answer and I tell him I have no idea It wasn't me I never left your sight.

The mother could not forgive him the father acted unrepentant. It wasn't long before they'd give in and go their separate ways. The child found himself in the midst of it all he didn't know on whom to call. And all the while he's forced to keep forcing a smile but deep inside his agony can't be denied When the paperwork was finished he knew it was through Never more would mom and dad exchange their "I love you's" all he hoped for was a day when he would wake up from this bad dream And his parents would both love each other once again. The child found himself in the midst of it all he didn't know on whom to call. And all the while he's forced to keep forcing a smile but deep inside his agony can't be denied He said to them, please do not go. I won't survive, my youth alone, I need a mom, I need a dad, I need a family, a family, if not for him, then for your child, if not for her, then for your son. His pain won't leave, won't be erased, can't be undone. And all the while he's forced to keep forcing a smile but deep inside his agony can't be denied Right About Me He sees his friends are going down he don't know what to say to make them change their point of view to make them turn around. He remembers better days when what they felt was what they'd say. He sees his enemies used to be his friends. What can I say to him, I feel like I have let him down He used to look up to me now he only looks away . Maybe I'm better off alone, maybe I'll sit around and spend my time on the phone Maybe he's right, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'll write another song? I'll sit idly by and I'll wait for things to change on their own but they always stay the same & I'll sit back and I'll deny that I never even tried to make a difference in what I chose to say. Four days ago I got a call from him he told me what was on his mind the way he felt was that my focus changed? What do you want from me? Can I change my counterparts? Maybe their to blind to see maybe I'm afraid. Now is the time to make things right I'm tired of running round I'm tired of living a lie. Maybe he's right, maybe I'm wrong,Maybe I'll write another song? I sit idly by and I'll wait for things to change on their own but they always stay the same. But I'll sit back and I'll deny I ever even tried to make a difference in what I chose to say. My problems began when I said to a friend. Your opinions don't matter to me Well it's not that I'm meant it I only resented That you're always right about me, that your always right about me. Your always right about me. I'm a Jerk And how many times were we standing on the edge of a breakthrough? And if there's nothing to hold on to maybe we don't have anything at all. And I couldn't leave you, maybe I'm too afraid to be alone. Cause I can't survive if I am on my own. If we fall down when strains between us get to be too much I still think we should keep in touch, if you'll forgive me. I'm not afraid to admit I was wrong. How many thoughtless mishaps would cause a relational collapse if we would learn to communicate things wouldn't be so delicate at all, but you don't believe that You think that it's all my fault. but If you'd only trust me I would right the wrongs. If we fall down when strains between us get to be too much I still think we should keep in touch, if you'll forgive me. I'm not afraid to admit I'm a jerk. I know things have changed but can't we make this work? Don't give up on me, I don't think that my heart would mend if you left me again, just give me one more chance, I be a better man cause I need you like oxygen.

Ella The girl across the road lives in a tower I just dropped by to say hi then we talked for hours Life after Death hopes dreams and wounds Thursday we'll meet afternoon She wants to live happily after I'm told. but Ella how can you you've lost control but More then the air that I breathe I believe in your soul. Cause I don't live far away You and I can live the life of yesterday She says "take me far away from here, they will never notice If I disappear, tonight". Once upon a time in her story they talk of the good life but live contradictory she speaks of the rules that keep her in chains She wishes she could live a clichþ Ella lives happily after I'm told That line of conversation get's old to you And more then the air that I breathe, I still grieve for your soul.

Charleston The trip started well, they packed up their bags and packed into the cars Made the six hour drive to wrap up the year with friends that they love. That's when everyone tries to be someone else. I say, what's so bad about being yourself? they'll send their innocence away until a rainy day or when their caught. And maybe in a couple years they'll understand the truth they forgot. Then the hour approached the good kids turned bad the bad kids turned worse They'd like chaos to rule cause no one feels guilt when mayhem ensues that's when everyone tries to be someone else. I say, what's so bad about being yourself? They'll send their innocence away until a rainy day or when their caught. And maybe in a couple years they'll understand the truth they forgot. I can't believe that this is true. What did you think that this would make you cool? and while you're living in excess all the anthems you profess you don't possess. Everyone tries to be someone else, what's so bad about being yourself? They'll send their innocence away until a rainy day or when their caught. And maybe in a couple years they'll understand the truth they forgot. You've changed Do you remember long ago when we had no will to know about the evils of the world and ignorance was bliss did we forget about those years, have we given into fear, oh I wish I wasn't here cause everything has changed now Life was so simple it's insane now, I wish I could step off the train now, My memories begin to fade out, but I won't let them go Take me home I never wanted to get old like this Take me back unto my younger days of innocence. And the war that rages on wouldn't callous us at all we weren't frightened by the threat of nuclear attack and we didn't have to care about government affairs and I wish I still was there cause everything has changed now Life was so simple it's insane now, I wish I could step off the train now, My memories begin to fade out, but I won't let them go Take me home I never wanted to get old like this, Take me back unto my younger days of innocence. Tonight I became what I hate I lost my youth and I don't like things this way On the edge everyone feels the same things were better in our more innocent days and I wish they'd stayed the same.(2X) Take me home I never wanted to get old like this Take me back unto my younger days of innocence.(2X) Dumb Like That I think I've seen every star in the sky tonight removed from the city lights, has never seemed so bright I know I shouldn't believe a word you say. I do anyway, cause I'm dumb like that. And all the words I've given to you When you smiled I thought that it meant something else. You were just being yourself, being nice, you're always rather polite to me. You let me down again, when you ignored the things I said to you If I was scared of you then maybe I could leave and if I walked away right now, there would be nothing left for me to lose but doubt. I Never fell so far for anyone before, never again I swore, With you hope was restored. You Make me feel like I've been torn apart I don't like that at all. I've lost control And all the words I've given to you, I poured my heart out into an empty coffee cup, you drank it up, & left me here to drown, alone. You let me down again, when you ignored the things I said to you. If I was scared of you, then maybe I could leave. Cause if I walked away right now, there would be nothing left for me to lose but I can't lose you I can't lose you I think I've seen every star that I care to see, but I don't wanna leave. It hurts when you're self deceived I know I shouldn't believe a word you say, I do it anyway, cause I'm dumb like that. And all the words I've given to you When you smiled I thought that it meant something else. You were just being yourself, being nice, your always rather polite to me. You let me down again, when you ignored the things I said to you If I was scared of you then maybe I could leave Cause if I walked away right now, there would be nothing left for me to lose but doubt. but doubt, but doubt. there's nothing left, there's nothing left for me to lose but doubt, there's nothing left, there's nothing left for me to lose but doubt, there's nothing left, there's nothing left.
