(Instrumental)


2. DAYS OF OUR LIVES

Slow down, slow down.
Do you remember?
The late days in mid-December,
Couldn't wait for the summer
to come our way,
(Let's sleep these nights away.)
Passed out on the couch again,
Long nights with all the friends,
We had this world in the palm of our hands.

These are the days we won't forget.
(We won't forget.)
Try to remember all the memories kept,
Keep your eyes to the days ahead,
These are the days we won't forget.

Let's break out,
tonight, in the city street lights,
No direction but these moonlit nights.
These stars are shining bright,
(and we feel alive)
We'll shut this city down,
Another night out, and we'll burn it
to the ground.
These are the days,
These are our days and we know.

These are the days we won't forget.
(We won't forget.)
Try to remember all the memories kept,
Keep your eyes to the days ahead,
These are the days we won't forget.


3. COUNT THE WAYS

Count the ways
That you destroy me
I'm not the one to blame
(I'm not the one to blame)

I had your pictures on the shelf
You were the one, but now you're something else.
I can see through your disguise
(I can see through your disguise)

Now everyone tells me how you speak,
of all the awful things you've done to me.
And how you love how it tastes on your tongue.

I'll call you out amongst the crowd.
I'll call you out amongst the crowd.

Count the ways
(Whoa oh oh)
That you destroy me
(Whoa oh oh ohh)
I'm not the one to blame
(I'm not the one to blame)
(x2)

Get ready cuz' your life will soon be changed.
I'll take that pretty little picture and rearrange,
everything that you've come to know.

Now as the page is turning,
i watch these pictures burning.
Life as you know it, has come to an end.

Count the ways
(Whoa oh oh)
That you destroy me
(Whoa oh oh ohh)
I'm not the one to blame
(I'm not the one to blame)
(x2)

Count the ways
(Whoa oh oh)
That you destroy me
(Whoa oh oh ohh)
I'm not the one to blame
(I'm not the one to blame)
(x2)

4. ALL WE KNOW

Rise and shine,
It's another day away from home,
Say goodbye
To the places that you've come to know,
We're moving on....

I've been counting down the hours,
'Till our feet hit solid ground,
We do it for the love of this,
You can never shut us down

Rise and shine,
Welcome to this open world,
Hold it high,
And let the dreams that you have unfold

Here we stand
together this is all we know,
(we'll never back down),
Our feet sit firmly to the ground,
(our feet sit firmly to the ground)

Rise and shine,
Keep these nights forever in our hearts,
You will find,
They will never tear this apart,
We're moving on

We've been waiting for the right time,
To set this perfect plan in motion,
Its only just a matter of time,
Until we break this thing wide open

Here we stand
together this is all we know,
(we'll never back down),
Our feet sit firmly to the ground,
(Our feet sit firmly to the ground)

Here we stand
together this is all we know,
(we'll never back down),
Our feet sit firmly to the ground,
(Our feet sit firmly to the ground)

You will respect me,
If its the last thing I do,
You will respect me,
I am above all of you

Here we stand together,
This is all we know,
(we'll never back down),
Our feet sit firmly to the ground,
(Our feet sit firmly to the ground)


5. NOTHING LASTS FOREVER

So hold on and be strong,
when your world's caving in,
Before long, you'll be gone.

The steady roads, will lead me right beside you,
this repetition will kill me
I always thought I would be,
the very best person you'd see, I was wrong
But all these signals bring me back, to the start

And all the clocks turn,
But these pictures never change,
I've been spinning in circles for days.

So hold on and be strong,
when your world's caving in,
Before long, you'll be gone.
('cause nothing lasts forever)
So save your final breath (final breath)
And let them carry away
Before long, you'll be gone.
('cause nothing lasts forever)

This is your chance,
to break free from this,
Let the rope steer you clear from dead end.
I find myself, in a better direction.
Keep my feet back on solid ground

And all the clocks turn,
But these pictures never change,
I've been spinning in circles for days.

So hold on and be strong,
when your world's caving in,
Before long, you'll be gone.
('cause nothing lasts forever)
So save your final breath (final breath)
And let them carry away
Before long, you'll be gone.
('cause nothing lasts forever)

OH

So hold on and be strong,
when your world's caving in,
Before long, you'll be gone.

So hold on and be strong,
when your world's caving in,
Before long, you'll be gone.
('cause nothing lasts forever)
So save your final breath (final breath)
And let them carry away
Before long, you'll be gone.
('cause nothing lasts forever)


6. EMPTY ROADS

Headlights flooding the scene,
It's 3AM and I'm fighting back sleep.

So much running through my head again,
This fucking drive is got me thinking that it's better instead,
To just, relax and breathe,
but this never ending drive is just killing me,
without you here by side

These empty roads,
they call my name,
And I know I've got to leave this whole town behind.
I'm sorry to say,
I'm leaving this way
These empty roads,
They call my name,
and I know it's gonna kill you on the inside.
I'm sorry to say,
I'm leaving this way

I'm finally drifting to sleep,
But, I'll have the comfort knowing you're in my dreams,
but I know I'm gone for days,
This road will move on,
I'm getting further away from you,
Hold on,
And never let me go,
Keep me in your heart,
This road will lead me home.
I'll be counting down the days 'till I can see,
your face in front of me,
without you here by my side.

These empty roads,
they call my name,
And I know I've got to leave this whole town behind.
I'm sorry to say,
I'm leaving this way
These empty roads,
They call my name,
and I know it's gonna kill you on the inside.
I'm sorry to say,
I'm leaving this way

Headlights flooding the scene,
It's 3AM and I'm fighting back sleep.

I know these empty roads
(These empty roads will take us home.)


7. END OF AN ERA

Lets not get carried away,
We've been here for years,
And today, is the day,
To open up your eyes and see,
There's nothing left here in this town,
You fail to seek a common ground,
You're all just part of what I used to hate

We came, we saw,
There's no turning back,
we're moving on
we came, we saw,
We move along

I hear you talking out loud,
and You really don't know
what you're talking about
I'll make you eat those words you speak,
I've seen this time and time again,
You come to me like I'm your friend,
But you'll turn around and tear me apart,

We came, we saw,
There's no turning back,
we're moving on
we came, we saw,
We move along


8. SINK OR SWIM

Hey kid,
Just give it a shot.
It's a chance you'll never get back.
Like it or not,
You have to hold your head high,
And put those fears aside

You think she'll walk away,
Ignoring what you say,
It's kinda funny how she gets under your skin,
You tell yourself to run,
When she gets close enough,
This is your chance to sink or swim

You've got me swinging from the ceiling,
and all I know is I never want to come back down,
We sing WhaAoAo
We sing Wa-o-o-OH (Whoa!)

This is the time,
to open your eyes,
You better spill your guts and
never let her leave your side,
Just give it some time,
Let it sink into her mind,
She'll be coming back for more.

You've got me swinging from the ceiling,
and all I know is I never want to come back down,
We sing WhaAoAo
We sing Wa-o-o-OH (Whoa!)

You gotta pull yourself together now,
Before your time is running out,
You better make your move before she goes again.

You gotta pull yourself together now,
Before your time is running out,
You better make your move before she goes again.


9. BEHIND THE SCENES

Keep telling your lies,
Saying how you know me,
and that you wrote me,
and that I'm calling you mine,
The situation's over can't you see?
(Why can't you see?)
This is never going to be.
You need to take a hint, before I start to slip,
and finally let me breathe.

I know you'll hear this song,
and sing along, with every word in tune.
I hope you run and hide when you realize,
I wrote this song for you.

Hiding out backstage,
Just to get away because you're
too hard to shake.
I think it's time to remind you to back away,
But you're naive, and you honestly believe,
That we're all really your friends.
This is where we part,
You've been left in the dark,
This is where your party ends.

I know you'll hear this song,
and sing along, with every word in tune.
I hope you run and hide when you realize,
I wrote this song for you.

The only difference is,
These people care for this.
You do it all for show,
Now everybody knows

I know you'll hear this song,
and sing along, with every word in tune.
I hope you run and hide when you realize,
I wrote this song for you.


10. CHANGES

These miles tear me away,
From the comfort and the home
That you've taken from me
And all that's left is broken memories

I'll tear this building down,
Don't try to stand in my way,
You're all alone,
and that's the price you pay.

I'm not afraid to let go.
She said that I told you so,
I've gotta break all these ties,
Before I die.

You're not the person I loved,
You're just an ignorant fake
who would never become,
Someone who got the best of me.
I'll give you space,
That you never wanted.
You'll never hear from me again.

I'm not afraid to let go.
She said that I told you so,
I've gotta break all these ties,
Before I die.

You are something that I can live without,
And now you're out there alone.

I'm not afraid to let go.
She said that I told you so,
I've gotta break all these ties,
Before I die.


11. THE VIEW FROM HERE

We strived so hard for this,
You can't imagine what it takes.
You haven't walked in my shoes,
You'd rather stand in my way.
And all I know...
Is what I see before my eyes,
I'll learn this on my own,
So follow me or move aside.

We stand at the edge of what's to come,
It's who we are.
It's what we love.

Now that we're standing tall,
I see the light in our view,
Do what it takes,
It's what we're born to do,
For those who live.
For something that they believe.
We live and die for you to
break the mold and follow your dreams.

We stand, at the edge of what's, to come.
It's who we are, It's what we love.
It's who we are, It's what we love.

These are the paths and the roads we take.
How dare you try take this thing away?
These are the paths and the roads we take.
How dare you try to take this thing from me?


12. PICKING UP THE PIECES

You had the worst of me,
Honest to god how did you say?
Inside was begging for love but my arms,
Wouldn't show it,

Don't let go,
I beg you please
Yes I would die if you left me.
I'm sorry for, the things I've done
But look at who, I've become, for you,

Honey I wait for you
For you
Honey I wait for you
For you

These lonely nights are calling,
Here as the stars are falling down.
Around your life,
I wait for you tonight.

These memories can never erase,
The tears that stain, your pillowcase,
Please stay forever, I'll make you deserving
Please know these lessons, Yet I am still learning
I'll mend all these pieces of heart back together
With each passing second and every hour,

I wait...

Honey I wait for you
For you
Honey I wait for you
For you

These lonely nights are calling
Here as the stars are falling down
Around your life
I'll wait for you tonight

These lonely are calling
Here as the stars are falling down
Around your life
I'll wait for you tonight

You've gotta wait
To make it worth your while
Don't turn away
If you got something to say

You've gotta wait
To make it worth your while
Don't turn away
If you got something to say

These lonely nights are calling
Here as the stars are falling down
Around your life
I'll wait for you tonight

These lonely nights are calling
Here as the stars are falling down
Around your life
I'll wait for you tonight.

BONUSTRACK

13. SECOND TO NONE

Your secrets out,
And now,
You're too ashamed to face me on your own,
How could you look me in the eyes,
And tell me,
Your lies, and stories,
Every word that passed between your teeth,
Replaying in my mind,
The things that you've done to me,

No,
What do you take me to be,
I'll tear the lies from your chest
With every breath that you breathe

Your past has got you shaking,
These walls are coming down,
The secrets deep inside you,
Are slowly pouring out.

Oh god your lips,
They graced his,
Filthy hands wont wipe their secrets clean,
Now tell me did you even think about me,
Regrets are pouring through your ears,
Destroyed what we had built for years,
The damage done cant rebuild what happened here,

No,
What do you take me to be,
I'll claim the life you stole from me

Your past has got you shaking,
These walls are coming down,
The secrets deep inside you,
Are slowly pouring out
I've found what you were hiding,
So keep apologies,
Locked up behind your lips,
I'll bring you to your knees

Run,
Run away from what you've done
So run,
Too late the damage is done,
Run

Too late the damage is done

Your past has got you shaking,
These walls are coming down,
The secrets deep inside you,
Are slowly pouring out.
