This is where I say I've had enough And no one should ever feel the way that I feel now. A walking open wound, a trophy display of bruises and I don't believe that I'm getting any better, any better Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring and I'm thinking awful things, pretty sure that few would notice. And this apartment is starving for an argument. Anything at all to break the silence. Wandering the house like I've never wanted out And this is about as social as I get now. And I'm throwing away the letters that I am writing you 'cause they would never do, I would never do, never Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring and I'm thinking awful things, pretty sure that few would notice. And this apartment is starving for an argument. Anything at all to break the silence. So don't be a liar, don't say that "everything's working" when everything's broken. And you smile like a saint, but you curse like a sailor and your eyes say the joke's on me. Well im not laughing, you're not leaving well who do i think i am kidding when im the only one locked in this hell Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring and I'm thinking awful things, pretty sure that few would notice. And this apartment is starving for an argument. Anything at all to break the silence. So don't be a liar, don't say that "everything's working" when everything's broken. And you smile like a saint, but you curse like a sailor and your eyes say the joke's on me.

Watch the night sky at my window
While the world is fast asleep
I stare into the unknown
I will have no fear as long as you're with meI will catch your fall- I'll keep the world away
Chasing after daydreams- I am unafraid
Catch me if I fall- in your arms I'm safe
Chasing after daydreamsWorld gone mad outside my window
Try to buy a higher life
I won't need another thing
I will go on dreaming if you stay with meI will catch your fall- I'll keep the world away
Chasing after daydreams- I am unafraid
Catch me if I fall- in your arms I'm safe
Chasing after daydreamsLet them tell secrets about us
Jaded words don't mean a thing
We are just beginning
There's no limit we will go on chasing dreamsI will catch your fall- I'll keep the world away
Chasing after daydreams- I am unafraid
Catch me if I fall- in your arms I'm safe
Chasing after daydreams- I am not afraid
I will catch your fall- I'll keep the world away
Chasing after daydreams- Catch a falling star
Catch a falling star
Catch a falling star

Lately I've been feeling a little bit neglected. When it comes to your ex-boyfriends, well, I guess I'm overprotective. But it's nothing personal I just wanted you to tell me that you care.
Lately I've been thinking bout' stickin' my hand in a toaster. I never asked to take a ride on this emotional roller-coaster It's you that I want, and lately it feels like you're not there.
Lately I've been contemplating jumping in the ocean. Sometimes even Spock would show a little more emotion! Do you still love me now as much as you loved me yesterday?
I try to let it out... I bitch, I cry, moan, whine, scream and shout today, but the wall wouldn't listen to me! Why wouldn't it listen to me? I'm sick of always cryin' I don't wanna be sick of trying, but you've gotta want me too.
Lately I've been hoping for a little bit of affection. Sometimes I wish that you had came with your own set of directions. I guess it's not that easy, but I hope that you still love me anyway
Lately I've been thinkin' bout' takin' a vow of silence. I've never seen a monk result in any acts of violence. Or, maybe I'll just cry and hope you come around again today.
I try to let it out... I bitch, I cry, moan, whine, scream and shout today, but the wall wouldn't listen to me! Why wouldn't it listen to me? I'm sick of always cryin' I don't wanna be sick of trying, but you've gotta want me too.

It's patience trying when you tell me how to live Well you don't know anything Your expectations are wearing thin You won't even take a look to see another way You aren't even listening Take your ideals and go awayI'm not cut from the same old mold I don't read from the same old story Not cut from the same mold Don't know who you think I should be I'm not cut from the same mold I don't read from the same old story Not cut from the same mold Done with yours, I'm living my life for me
Tell me father - Did I turn out so bad Didn't I look up to you Took every piece of advice you had Go to School, get a job Send me on your way You aren't even listening Take your dreams and go away
I'm not cut from the same old mold I don't read from the same old story Not cut from the same mold Don't know who you think I should be I'm not cut from the same mold I don't read from the same old story Not cut from the same mold Done with yours - I'm living my life for me
For so long I tried to understand The qualities you thought made up a real man Now it's time for me to find out for myself I'm getting fed up I don't need your help You never listen to both sides of the story You never listen, You won't listen to me
I'm not cut from the same old mold I don't read from the same old story Not cut from the same mold Don't know who you think I should be I'm not cut from the same mold I don't read from the same old story Not cut from the same mold Done with yours - I'm living my life for me

I'm always assuming the worst, but you're going on none the less and there's nothing to cushion your heart led fall. letters from further away keep pulling me close to home. And there's something to cushion my callous sighs. and I know that you hope for longer goodbyes. embracing for forever and falling in your eyes.. in your eyes.. your eyespouring over photographs, I'm living in your letters. breathe deeply from this envelope it smells like you and I can't be without that scent it's filling me with all you mean to me.. to me..
continually failing these trials but you stand by me nonetheless and you won't let me sink though I'm beggin you, I'm beggin you. phone calls from further away and messages on my machine, but I don't ever tell you this distance seems terrible. there's no need to test my heart, with useless space. these roads go on forever. there'll always be a place for you in my heart
so I'll hit the pavement, it's gotta be better than waiting and pushing you far away cause I'm scared. so I'll take my chances and head on my way up there cause turning to you is like falling in love when you're ten

from sea to sea
a bridge lies between you and me
walk across this wrote in harmony
when songbirds sing
deep blue sky
in my dream i could almost fly
but i don't even have to try
when songbirds singwhen my world caves in
i'll find peace within
hearing your voice again
when songbirds sing
when my world caves in
and the lights go dim
hearing your voice
brings comfort to mea comfort so soothing to me
as soothing as this melody
when songbirds singevening tide
wash away all these deep blue nights
happiness wont seem to pass you by
when songbirds are singingwhen my world caves in
i'll find peace within
hearing your voice again
when songbirds sing
when my world caves in
and the lights go dim
hearing your voice
brings comfort to me

So I'm a little left of center I'm a little out of tune Some say I'm paranormal So I just bend their spoon Who wants to be ordinary In a crazy, mixed-up world I don't care what they're sayin' As long as I'm your girl
Hey, you are on my side And they, they just roll their eyes
You get me When nobody understands You come and take the chance, baby You get me You look inside my wild mind Never knowing what you'll find And still you want me all the time Yeah, you do Yeah, you get me
So what if I see the sunshine In the pouring rain Some people think I'm crazy But you say it's okay You've seen my secret garden Where all of my flowers grow In my imagination Anything goes
I, I am all you want They, they just read me wrong
You get me When nobody understands You come and hold my hand, baby You get me You look inside my wild mind Never knowing what you'll find Still you want me all the time Yeah, you do 'Cause you get me
Hey, you are on my side They, they just roll their eyes Yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause you get me When nobody understands You come and take the chance, baby You get me When none of the pieces fit You make sense of it You get me You look inside my wild mind Never knowing what you'll find And still I want you all the time Yeah, I do 'Cause you get me Yeah, oh, yeah, oh

out of tune and out of place again. the same old crowd, the same expression. never coming back again, rolling out of town. no one knew you came from faraway.
no one promised you much more than nothing. it's not like anyone here knows your name. it's not like anyone will stay
out of tune and out of place again. the same old crowd, the same expression. never coming back again, rolling out of town. rolling out of town, running out of time long drive tonite, whats the point of it. they us here and they all really hate us there. but we dont seems to care at all about the politics of lazy kids who say "be like us or take the fall"
out of tune and out of place again. the same old crowd, the same expression. never coming back again, rolling out of town, rolling out of town, running out of time long drive tonite, so whats the point of it~8/8/01~
Unsung Zeros - Fall take me out drag my face across pavement and make it feel wrinkled and old cuz thats how i feel today. spent out like change you toss out at toll booths it adds up when you drive a lot and you hate to use it but it sends you on your way.
thats the point i went on without you
thought i would fall and no one would catch me lose all i had going for me but i was wrong. when you let someone control your life they're the only person who makes it seem right its hard to change
the funny thing is i'll end up in the same place yeah history repeats itself and it's sad but at least this time i'll know that every broken heart's not the end of the world even though its hard to believe and i'll cry and i'll go on
thats the point i can go on without you
thought i would fall and no one would catch me lose all i had going for me but i was wrong. when you let someone control your life they're the only person who makes it seem right its hard to change
it seems that we have reached the end and i dont think we can be friends so say your goodbyes
thought i would fall and no one would catch me lose all i had going for me but i was wrong. when you let someone control your life they're the only person who makes it seem right its hard to change yeah~8/7/01~
Expose - I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me i hear you're taking the town again having a good time with all your good time friends. i dont think that you think of me you're on your own now and im alone and free.
i know that i should get on with my life but a life lived without you could never be right
as long as the stars shine down from the heavens, long as the rivers run to the sea, i'll never get over you getting over me
i try to smile so the hurt wont show, tell everybody i was glad to see you go. but the tears just wont go away. loneliness found me, looks like it's here to stay
i know that i oughta find someone new, but all i find is myself always thinking of you
as long as the stars shine down from the heavens, long as the rivers run to the sea, i'll never get over you getting over me
oh no matter what i do each night's a lifetime to live through i cant go on like this i need your touch, you're the only one i'll ever love
and as long as the stars shine down from the heavens, long as the rivers run to the sea, i'll never get over you getting over me.. i'll never get over you getting over.. never get over you getting over.. i'll never get over you getting over me...~8/5/01~
the Juliana Theory - Constellation some things can never be explained why every sky still looks the same and i wonder how my world would look without you.
some things can never be explained like how our scars remain the same and i wonder how the sky would look without my star. sleep seems a dream away and a year too late words that can't be spoken stream off my face
and i wanta be selfish i wanta be selfish i wanta be selfish you’re my everything some things can never be explained why does your love remain unchanged cause i know it wouldn't be the same without you. sleep seems a dream away and a year too late words that can't be spoken stream off your face
and i wanta be selfish i wanta be selfish i wanta be selfish you’re my everything please don't forget my name and take me with you when you leave i've got a lot to lose i've got to let it go please don't forget my name please don’t forget my name please don’t forget my name~8/4/01~
the Ataris - Looking Back on Today 30th of April seems like yesterday bought a house above the ocean where our kids could laugh and play. i called you from Paris to tell you that i wrote our names on the observation deck of Eiffel Tower. remember those nights playing Summer Wind in the jukebox of the bar we use to go. we made out in the bathroom and you walked me to my house i tried to convince you not to go home
if only i had more time, i'd take you where you wanted to go. Italy isnt the same without you here. if only i had one wish, i'd want a million trillion lifetimes that i could spend with you.. fall in love with you again and again.. again
1st of November 1998 i was thinking of what to say when i would call. Denise come over to my house cuz you're the one for me we'll drink cheap wine and watch for shooting stars. remember our first apartment, our couch was never big enough for 2. still we'd fall asleep in each others arms and wake up on the floor. now looking back it was made for me and you.
if only i had more time, i'd take you where you wanted to go. Japan is really nice this time of year. if only i had one wish, i'd want a million trillion lifetimes that i could spend with you.. fall in love with you again and again..

earth is dying, help me jesus
we need guidance, we've been misled
young and hostile but not stupidcorporate leaders, politicians
kids can't vote, adults elect them
laws that rule the school and workplace
signs that caution 16's unsafewe really need to see this through
we never wanted to be abused
we'll never give up, it's no use
if we're fucked up, you're to blamelet this train-wreck burn more slowly
kids are victims in this story
drown the youth with useless warnings
teenage rules, they're fucked and boringwe really need to see this through
we never wanted to be abused
we'll never give up, it's no use

The Ataris - "I Won't Spend Another Night Alone"
(this is for Rob)a star up in the sky goes slowly passing by, the lights below they spell out your name. you're comfort on my mind and you're with me all the time and lots of feelings that i can't explain.i won't spend another night alone.. i won't spend another night alone
out of every girl i meet no other can compete, i'd ditch em all for a night with you. i know you don't believe you mean this much to me, but i promise you that you do.
if i had one wish this is what it would be- i'd ask you to spend all your time with me and we'd be together forever. we'd buy a small house in south central LA, raise lots of kids and we'd both join a gang just as long as we're together.
the things you make me wanta do- i'd ROB a quik-e-mart for you. i'd go to the pound and let all the cats go free just as long as you'd be with me.
i won't spend another night alone.. i won't spend another night alone

The Ataris - "Losing Streak" you only know what you've been taught

you control the future and it's looking bleek
seems like we're heading for another losing streakand the fire's burning bright
but still we act like everything's allright
"i guess if we ignore it, it'll probably go away"
if you believe that bullshit please see exhibit Aforget about friendships, hey let's destroy the enemy
that's one thing that i've learned-
my enemies are just as close to meyou keep your problems deep inside
you always play that game of run and hide
even though they told you to see is to believe
it didn't take you long to know that looks they can deceivedon't give up fighting til nothing else stands in your way
don't give up talking until there's nothing left to say
but no matter what you do
don't ever compromise what you believe
don't ever compromise what you believe.
don't ever compromise what you believe.~5/15/01~
