1. Up And Go
here it goes, and this wont take long
just let me dedicate a song
to a girl that turned this boy to stone
and you know who you are
heres a hint, she doesnt have a car
or the time to be in love with me
why did you say
this feeling has to stay
left me to wait for so long
you dont have to stay
but i hope that you would anyway
all you do is up and go
excuse me, but this wont take long
i'm sorry for writing you this song
but just what do you think you deserve
because when you had the chance, for romance
you burned it up advanced
i guess i'm not sorry in the least
what made you say
this feeling has to stay
breaking this off for so long
you dont have to stay
but i hope that you would anyway
all you do is up and go
you dont have to go
what makes you stay we'll never know
all you do is up and go
up and go
up and go
what would make you stay
up and go
what would make you stay
i guess we'll never know
i guess we'll never know
i guess we'll never
you dont have to stay
but i hope that you would anyway
all you do is up and go
you dont have to go
what makes you stay we'll never know
all you do is up and go
you didn't have to stay
so you didn't have to run away
all you do is up and go
up and go
up and go
i guess we'll never know...
2. Given The Chance
the minute before we play
i'm pacing waiting anxiously
i can't wait to hit the stage
and say hello to jersey
and when the last note rings
and when i've sung all i have to sing
every minute i will count
till the next show in the next town
what can i say
that can explain
all this time
i'm loving life
theres not a day
that i could say
all this time
i'm living out my...
the feeling is screaming out
the words of the things i think about
hearing them coming back
from the crowds mouth is perfect
and when the curtains close
i'll realize how fast time could go
thanks for everything
you know how much this means
what can i say
that can explain
all this time
i'm loving life
theres not a day
that i could say
all this time
i'm living out my dream
what this is to me
is more than words could mean
i guess dreams do come true
this song itself is living proof
what this means to me
is more than it may seem
i guess dreams do come true
this song itself is living proof
what this is to me
is more than words could mean
i guess dreams do come true
this song itself is living proof
what can i say
that can explain
all this time
i'm loving life
theres not a day
that i could say
all this time
i'm singing out
singing a song about
a dream that has come true
3. Leaving
don't leave me without saying goodbye
without saying goodbye
you and I, cold February night
it's been a half an hour
taking sweet time saying our goodbyes
One minute more, GO!!
the best day of my life is all thanks to you
precious remembrance saved for rainy days on February
few scenes from my life where moments mean more to me
than our fine nights,
I remember like yesterday, the time of my life
please don't leave me without saying goodbye
without saying goodbye
please don't leave me without saying goodbye
without saying goodbye
lets travel back in time
2-12-99 at the stroke of midnight
holding you tight, your body and mine, in February
few scenes from my life where moments mean more to me
than our fine nights,
I remember like yesterday, the time of my life
please don't leave me without saying goodbye
without saying goodbye
please don't leave me without saying goodbye
without saying goodbye
please don't leave me without saying goodbye
without saying goodbye
please don't leave me without saying goodbye
without saying goodbye
lets travel back in time
4. Best Of Me
tell me what you thought about
when you were gone and so alone
the worst is over
you can have the best of me
we got older but we're still young
we never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
here we lay again
on two separate beds
riding phone lines
to hear that familiar voice
and pictures brought from memory
we reflect on miscomunication
and misunderstandings
and missing each other two
much too without you, let go
we turn our music down
and we whisper
say what your thinking right now
tell me what you thought about
when you were gone and so alone
the worst is over
you can have the best of me
we got older but we're still young
we never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
jumping to conclusions
made me fall away from you
i'm so glad that the truth
has brought back together me and you
we're sitting on the ground
and we whisper
say what your thinking outloud
tell me what you thought about
when you were gone and so alone
the worst is over
you can have the best of me
we got older but we're still young
we never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
we turn our music down
and we whisper
we're sitting on the ground
and we whisper
we turn our music down
we're sitting on the ground
and next time i'm in town
we will kiss girl
we will kiss girl
tell me what you thought about
when you were gone and so alone
the worst is over
you can have the best of me
we got older but we're still young
we never grew out of this feeling that we wont
feeling that we cant
we're not ready to give up
we got older but we're still young
we never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
5. A Goodnight's Sleep
a better slumber
was in your arms
spent tangled up in you
a sudden morning
crashed in the room
with an uninvited sudden change in you
what can i say
wheres that girl from last night
whos stuck outside
and looks just like you too
you can sleep in your own bed tonight
sleep away as summer came screaming out my name
you can sleep in your own bed tonight
i hope for your sake that you dont wake up as broken as i am
for the lack of better
words to say
all i said was goodnight
once again
in self defense i wont sleep a wink
to prevent dreaming of you
you can sleep in your own bed tonight
sleep away as summer came screaming out my name
you can sleep in your own bed tonight
i hope for your sake that you dont wake up as broken as i am
sleep in your own bed
tonight
i that some day you will wake up as lonely as i am
you can sleep in your own bed tonight
sleep away as summer came screaming out my name
you can sleep in your own bed tonight
i hope for your sake that you dont wake up as broken as i am
sleep in your own bed tonight
i that some day you will wake up as lonely as i am
cause it works both ways
cause it works both ways
cause it works both ways
sleep in your own bed
6. Almost There, Going Nowhere
its time to say a word
say it like you mean it
he spoke with his song of hearts
as my eyes hold back
hoping for the end
one too many condensending battles for a friend
say another word
and i'll sit on the floor
keep talking down to me
your not only losing me
your losing whats in store
i'll try to stay awake
when i go
when i get home
i'll try to stay awake
over the phone
so i can tell the truth
tell the truth
something keeps on getting in the way
between you and I on summer holiday yeah
just wait one minute more
cause my heart is halfway torn and your already gone
and your already gone
i'll try to stay awake (so i can tell you)
when i go
when i get home
i'll try to stay awake (so i can tell you)
over the phone
so i can tell the truth
say another word
face first on the floor
keep talking down to me
losing what was almost meant to be
i'll try to stay awake (so i can tell you)
when i go
when i get home
i'll try to stay awake (so i can tell you)
over the phone
so i can tell the truth
7. Cheek To Cheek
Bound to say something, eyes closed,
It's cold, and I'm home
I feel like nothing again,
Pretending not to care, but I care,
And I care, don't say another word
Our time was worthless, but I tried
We started over and over again, as we let go
Held each other, held hands,
Held standards and grudges
That's when I let you know,
I guess that goes to show
Just what I've been going through,
More nights of hugging my pillow, oh
Replaying memories
Sing this song for me;
Tell me how you'll never leave my side
And I'll meet you around 7,
And I miss you already, goodbye to you.
Time was worthless, but I tried
We started over and over again, as we let go
Held each other, held hands,
held standards and grudges
That's when I let you know,
I guess that goes to show
Sing this song for me;
tell me how you'll never leave my side
And I'll meet you around 7,
and I miss you already, goodbye to you.
And I tried so hard,
And I've done my part,
And not to mention most of all of yours
Try and feel,
Try and listen,
Try and think of what you're missing,
Try to look into my eyes.
TRY
Goodbye
Sing this song for me;
Tell me how you'll never leave my side
And I'll meet you around 7,
And I miss you already, goodbye to you.
Last goodbye I'll ever say to you.
You'll never leave my side

8. Hello Houston
lead on
to keep our feelings strong
and make me still believe
our page is one and the same
our ways will separate tonight
you say if we were to wait
some things just might be changed
I say that I dont have the strength
to fuel a burning flame
speak to me
what can I say, we just live too far away
that's a shame that love can make you stay
sweet thing
I hope that you know I'm wondering where you are
You say this could work someday
when you and I both know this is the end
Leave me the way it has to be
excuse my poor excuse
tell me that insecurities
are what drove me to you
and everyday I compare your face
from sweet beginnings to your bitter end
sweet thing
I hope that you know I'm wondering where you are
You say this could work someday
when you and I both know this is the end
Let me let go
sweet thing
I hope that you know I'm wondering where you are
You say this could work someday
when you and I both know this is the end
9. Decisions, Decisions
I cant wait for this to end
and leave tonight behind us
I'm unsettled letting go of you
and sleeping the night in silence
This letdown falls along with me
onto my bed while rolling over
So break my heart or break my fall
don't kiss him or cover all
the memories you had of me
the last time I saw you
you were standing by his side
the last time you saw me
was through your closed eyes as i'm waiting by the phone
He loves you
who loves you more?
To let you go
He loves you
who loves you more?
To let you go
I can wait until my heart mends
so I can finally go outside
and I tell myself, well Ken
It's better to have lost love
than to paint a smile and pretend
The last time I saw you
you were standing by his side
the last time you saw me
seated close as I waited by the phone
He loves you
who loves you more?
To let you go
He loves you
who loves you more?
To let you go
The last time I saw you
you were standing by his side
the last time you saw me
was in a crumpled photograph that missed the bin
He loves you
who loves you more?
To let you go
He loves you
who loves you more?
To let you go
10. Saddest Girl Story
So it's safe to say that we've been here before;
Heart torn out, down for the count and still come back for more.
This lesson is learned too well.
Though, only unlearned by the time your wounds have healed.
Have you had enough?
I guess not because your lips are stuck to his.
It's Time to say enough is enough, you would be so better off.
You love him but tough because it's not coming back from him.
You can't win.
Stop expecting change, he's just a lost cause that you're waiting on.
Take a look around, you could have anyone.
So leave undeserving him.
It only hurts at first.
But then you will find someone to give you everything you want.
Try not to go running back to him.
So it goes unsaid that we've been here before.
Lonely nights and endless fights and sleeping on the floor.
And he's sorry, so the story goes.
It's read and replayed and ends the same way
Stop expecting change, he's just a lost cause that you're waiting on.
Take a look around, you could have anyone.
So leave undeserving him.
Stop expecting change, he's just a lost cause that you're waiting on.
Take a look around, you could have anyone.
11. Left Coast Envy
today could be a different day
if the sky lifts up the haze
above my front lawn
or just another time i hold my tears
for another year
on my way back home
can i sell this sunrise, in return for a sunset? yeah..
can i just be here one more day, until my sunburn fades away?
I've asked a hundred times what's going on
but it went through one ear and out the other one
why can't i take a palm tree home with me?
for the memory of you when i'm at home
I've been looking forward, months back
vacation's everything we need...
can i sell this sunrise, in return for a sunset? yeah..
can i just be here one more day, until my sunburn fades away?
I'm taking pictures
of everything
to remind me of the place that's so perfect for me
and i'm taking pictures (taking pictures)
of everything (of everything)
so go ahead and take this place away from me
today could be another day
when the sky lifts up the haze
off of my front lawn
just another time i hold my tears
for another year
on my way back home
can i sell this sunrise, in return for a sunset? yeah..
can i just be here one more day, until my sunburn fades away?
can i
sell this sunrise, in return for a sunset? yeah..
can i just be here one more day, until my sunburn fades away?
can i sell this sunrise, in return for a sunset? yeah..
can i just be here one more day, until my sunburn fades away?
sunburn fades away
12. The Drama Summer
We could wait for the wind to blow
Or give me a look so cold...It gives me chills
And ends the summer war
My eyes roll
Around and over and again
Falling down, dizzy with sun stroke
I'll be there
And i'll try to identify, try to look through the gray skies in your eyes..
I'll pick up everything you left behind
Cross your fingers, and pray for winter
I'll be there
Painting the town your favorite color.
Guess i'll call or see you around....yeah
Guess i'll call or see you around.
Guess i'll call or see you around....yeah
Guess i'll call or see you around.
I'll call, or see you around.
I'll call, or see you around.
I'll call, or see you around.
I'll call, or see you around.
...painting the town your favorite color.
13. This Ride
it says hold on and take this ride
and set aside
memories of all the times
when you collide
then you'll leave me here to die
heres the things i meant
but never said
it says sit back and take the time
to lose your mind
and find out what its like to die
so wheres my spine
when its time to give an obvious and simple reason why
i wont write again
what do you see
when you look at me
do you take me for a fool
so what makes you play this game
with results always the same
and nothing but bad reputations to gain
it speaks to me like all is fine
and i could cry
from all the bends and breaks that i
took this time
when happieness is based on lies
its so hard its too hard to tell the truth
what do you see
when you look at me
do you take me for a fool
this fool is through
this fool is through
this fool is through
what do you see
when you look at me
do you take me for a fool
what do you see
when you look at me
do you take me for a fool
it says hold on and take this ride
and set aside
memories of all the times
when you collide
then you'll leave me here to die
heres the things i meant
but never said
