1. THE BEST YOU'LL GET

Let me see things through your eyes
You’ve always been so quick to analyze
And you won't let it slip tonight
I should have learned by now
You would tell me to define
The space I think I need to clear my mind
But all I’m asking for is time
And I won't tell ya

Cut me up (do what you got to)
Make me sweat (whatever it takes)
Drag it out (take what you came for)
It's the best you'll get

Did you find the answer?
Did you win me back?
No, you see what you want to see
And you hear what you want to hear
Would you believe me
If you only knew?
No, you see what you want to see
And you hear what you want to hear

How I wish I could explain
There are things I feel but cannot name
And you've stopped waiting for a change
So turn me inside out
Let's hear it loud and clear
My love, you know exactly what I'm thinking of
Even if it wouldn't be enough
Well, I'll never tell ya

Have you ever felt so nervous
With your back against the wall?
I got my heart on my sleeve
Isn't that what you wanted?
Can't believe the words I'm thinking
I got them clinging to my teeth
And as we're reaching the end
I'm sorry to say you never learned
From your mistakes


2. KILLING ME

Did I make a clean escape?
Or will I feel you pull me back again?
The choices made have left a bitter taste
But I never told you
Should have told you

Got this city on it's knees
And I think I like it

Can't you see that this is killing me?
Cause every line in every song
Reminds me of where I belong
Can't pretend that what you said back then
Was nothing more than desperate lies
So I turn my back and say goodbye

(Alright!)
You'll never bring me down

So will I make it through the night?
The things I used to hold on to
They're all gone
The choices made have left a bitter taste
But I never told you
Should have told you

Walk away
Turn and watch as it falls to the ground
The sky opens up to swallow you whole

(This city never forgets a face
And I've spent too long in this awkward place
All I want is to be free
Cause you're all fucking dead to me)

Baby, tell me
Can't you see that this is killing me?
Cause every line in every song
Reminds me of where I belong
Can't pretend that what you said back then
Was nothing more than desperate lies
So I turn my back and say goodbye


3. SING IT!

I'm breaking out today
And I cannot wait to leave this place
Where everyone is playing their own game
And everything stays the same
When I overheard you, babe
You kept saying things will never change
That you don't have the strength to get away
Well, what an awful shame

Sing, sing, sing it
Like nobody's got the cure
Like it's the end of the world
Sing, sing, sing it
As long as your lungs can bare
Don't (ever) tell me that I can't (sing)

I mean what I say this time
I won't waste my breath to save this life
When all you know is built on lies
That's when dreams die
So I'm gonna burn it down
Watch as the flames run through this town
And by the time you feel the pain
I'll be miles away

Sing it like you mean it
(Nobody's got the cure)
Hit me with your best shot
(As long as your lungs can bare)
As long as your lungs can bare

I know the streets like the back of my own hand
repeat the words that I wish I never said
I can't believe how I threw it all away for you
Now you're lost and you're asking for my help
You got yourself to blame and no one else
I can't believe that I threw it all away for you


4. LITTLE MISS OBVIOUS

I bet you've never felt so distant
Yet we're close enough to touch
Keep bringing that heavy breathing
The game is on

You are just a little too easy
And I try my best to crack a smile
Keep holding on to silly things
That make no sense
It makes no sense at all

Is it in the way you move,
The way you speak so daringly?
Is it lying on the bathroom floor
With nothing more to say?

Little miss obvious
Wipe the make up from your face
And go tell all your friends
That I'm the only one
Little miss obvious
I know that we've seen better days
But you still tell all your friends
That I'm the only one

Am I the only one?

It's funny how we're both pretending
To give a shit about it all
We both know where this is leading
I know the game by now, so tell me

Is it in the way you move,
The way you speak so eloquently?
Is it leaving straight through that door
With so much more to say?

I'll go ahead and show you to the door
I'm not the one you're looking for

Little miss obvious
Wipes the make up from her face
And she keeps telling all her friends
That I'm the only one

Little miss obvious
Wipe the make up from your face
And go tell all your friends
That I'm the only one
Little miss obvious
I know that we've seen better days
So go fuck all my friends
Just to see if I still care at all


5. HEARTBREAKER

In the corner of a worn down bar
Picked her out from the start
Cigarettes and cheap perfume
We're taking this too far
But she's got class and she's got style
At least that's what I thought
How could I think that I'd be the one
Well, I should have known

So put your hands up high
And reach for the skyline
Got everything I need
But I want you

Did you see the new boy in town?
Bet you were first in line
But pretty soon he will understand
Just what you're like
And don't pretend that you don't know
Exactly what i mean
He'll read you like an open book
Well, you should have known

So put your hands up high
And reach for the skyline
Got everything she needs
But she wants you

So put your hands up high
And reach for the skyline
She's got everything
She's got everything

They see right through you
And maybe you shouldn’t do this anymore

Did you see the new boy in town?
Bet you were first in line
But pretty soon he will understand
Just what you're like
So hold your hands up high
And reach for the skyline
I've got everything
I've got everything

So put your hands up high
And reach for the skyline
Got everything she needs
But she wants you

So put your hands up high
Just put your hands up
Got everything I need
But I want you


6. SOBER NIGHTS

The clever choice of words
Hurts more than you could ever know
And all the plans we made
Just fell apart
It's tearing at the seams
And I let the bottle break the fall
"A penny for your thoughts"
She whispered in my ear

You had me wrapped around your finger
And I swear I couldn't breathe

All the faces in all your dreams
They will fade away
They will fade away
So burn the pages
That haunt you in your sleep
You will find your way
You will find your way in time

How broken should I feel?
Draw the line for me
The place we called our own
Is buried here
So take another drink
To drown the memories
Keep the past beneath us
For another year

You will find your way
You will find your way (in time)


7. SOLD OUR SOULS (TO ROCK AND ROLL)

Is there anybody out there
Who can tell me what's going on?
Cause I don't know where to start from
You said "it's killing me to see
All the people you've deceived
Just to get this far
Well, did you get that far"?

I keep saying (that) I don't want to play this game
But the stakes are high and I am out of time

We break our bones
And spill our hearts for you
We sold our souls
And played our parts for you

So tell me
What did you expect from a quiet boy like me?
Will I sweep you off of your feet?
We were born to cause a scene
And all your wildest dreams
Will come true tonight
It all comes true tonight

We won't ever stop
We won't ever stop tonight

And all the memories
Cut so deep
The words from their lips
So unrewarding

It's getting hard to breathe
When every face I see
Reminds me of back when we were stopping time
The places that went, the summers that we shared
I can't forget this
Now I'm wide awake

We sold our souls to rock and roll


8. SHAKE U

We were young, just twenty-one
This is where our lives begun
Now you've left me wondering
And asking for more

You're just one of those girls
That'll keep me up all night
Now what am I supposed to do
When everything feels so right?
And I'm in love with you
Let's see this through
I swear to god this ship is sinking

I know
I shouldn't have counted on you
I'm caught
Can't seem to shake you off

They should have never said "I told you so"
And I cannot hate you
I'm not sure I want to
They should have never said "I told you so"
Now I can't forget you
I don't even want to

The memories I keep inside
They all fade away somehow
I'm dreaming of the good old times
When I could feel safe and sound
I will make you bend and break
I will be your greatest mistake
You gotta stop and ask yourself
Is this what you wished for?

(Please let me know)
I'm done pretending
(Go on)
Deserving of the truth
(Go on)
I'm done pretending
(Go on)
I'll drag it out of you


9. PRETTY THINGS

I am nothing without you
I am nothing without..

So where am I supposed
To rest my head tonight
When we are miles apart
And you never call
I wish we could believe
As we're stuck here in between
What could have been
And what will never be

Is there something in me
That I can call hope?
Is there something out there
That I can hold on to?

It's strange how things turn out
You build it up and then
Let it fall to the ground
And I'm sad that I missed out
On all the pretty things
That just passed me by
Moments we forgot or left behind


10. STARGAZER/ICEBREAKER

The sky is falling down on me
And I remember everything
These bruises on my hands
(They) won't ever fade away

The world I saw in your eyes
Is so much more than this could ever be
(And) it's starting to make sense now
All the things you put me through
I wouldn't change a thing

You were
Sent to save us all
Seconds before the fall
Now hold on tight and don't look back
I know you'll never let me go
We all
Sing the same old songs
Like it's all we know
We're spinning around again
But you won't ever let me go

Never let me go

You were
Sent to save us all
When we're out of control


11. KISS LIKE THIS!

Turn off the lights
Cause everyone knows what time it is
And I won't disappoint
I will do whatever you say tonight

Cause I know just what i want
And I know just what you'll say
But I promise you that no one's gonna know

So get up and dance
Don't make any plans
I am all in for you
So let's kiss like this
And kiss forever

Raise up your glass
For living life fast
I swear I'm so into you
So let's kiss like this
It's now or never

And I'll walk away
Got just what I came here for
I can feel your finger nails
So won't you tear me up some more?

Cause I don't care what you've said
And I don't care what you've done
To all the boys that I will never know

I wanna see you move your hips
I wanna feel you kiss my lips
I wanna see you move your hips
I wanna feel you kiss like this


12. HOLLYWOOD DREAMIN'

Hello, friend
I guess I fell again
Would you help me up?
Would you lend a hand?

Oh, these Hollywood dreams
Brought out the best in me
But I'm not what I used to be

We are dead
But we'll live again
We'll live again
We are down
But we will get up and
Someday you'll understand

Goodbye, friend
I'm heading off again
Would you at least pretend
Would you at least pretend that I've

Still got a chance
To make them sing and dance
Oh, how I hope to be
The one who sweeps them off their feet

Still got a chance
To make them sing and dance
