American Hi-Fi - Hearts On Parade (2005) by American Hi-Fi (보컬) on maniadb.com

Some call it love I don't know what you're thinkin' of
Such a mystery to me
Somehow you always like to play undercover
It's your path to discover
Roll me like we're tumbling dice
A wrecking ball rag doll ain't no breathing space
All the tapes have been erased
Prize fighter taking all the punches he can stand
And dropping on command
All my dreams are trying to come true
But all I ever wanted was you

What you don't understand
Forget the master plan
I'd give it all away to have you back again
I said it in my letter
So we could make it better
No need for you to read between the lines
Baby can I be your baby
Definitely maybe won't do

Ruby red play dead they don't make a sound
Plastic soldiers in a row
You're shouting calling all destroyers what to do
They're coming after you
Surrender but the battle is won

She thought of cars where to drive trying to survive
How to make the great escape
Still watching life on other planets fall apart
She wears it on her heart
All my dreams are trying to come true
But all I ever wanted was you

Someday you'll see
All our worlds collide
Way out in space

She likes the boys in the band I'm moving fast as I can Sliding over in her direction Pause to check out my reflection She's wearing all the right clothes The jam is playing on the stereo Checking emails on her phone She got more hits than the rolling stones Hell yeah so young and fine Could she be the one my baby I'm gonna make her mine At least for tonight Hey ya'll I gotta know Did she get my number maybe You tell her blow me up I'm one call away, hell yeah She's everything that you need The kinda girl we all dream of Long legs never stop Like all those videos in zz topp She got the stars in her eyes And she don't mind if you tease her Can't get her outta my mind Can't you see she put the freak on me Hell yeah so young and fine Could she be the one my baby I'm gonna make her mine At least for tonight Hey ya'll I gotta know Did she get my number maybe You tell her blow me up I'm one call away, hell yeah You know it hurts when she looks so bad Can't you see you're the best thing I never had I'm walking out the door before I act like a fool (She's not that cool) Hell yeah so young and fine Could she be the one my baby I'm gonna make her mine At least for tonight Hey ya'll I gotta know Did she get my number maybe You tell her blow me up I'm one call away Hell yeah so young and fine Could she be the one my baby I'm gonna make her mine At least for tonight Hey ya'll I gotta know Did she get my number maybe You tell her blow me up I'm one call away, hell yeah

At the bar, when he sees her coming over
Whatcha gonna do, when she walks up to you?
Tongue tied, better get yourself together
Pound another drink, to give him time to think
'What's your sign?' - 'Hey, I think you know a friend of mine'
All the stupid lines that he had ever heard
Wouldn't come to mind
He couldn't say a word

Tonight, tonight he's gonna get it right
Even losers can get lucky sometimes
All the freaks go on a winning streak
In a perfect world, all the geeks get the girls
Got her holdin' steady
Forgot her name already
Sweatin' hard, not a smooth operator
She's got it going on, dancing to her favorite song
He's got the line, 'Is it your place or mine?'
She turns and walks away
Where did he go wrong?
But waiting by the car she said, 'What took you so long?'

The very next day he guessed she ran away
The one and only in his bed so lonely
She comes walkin' in, with coffee and a grin
Crazy as it seems, it wasn't just a dream
And all around the world people shouted out,
'The geeks got the girl!'
Last night, he finally got it right
Even losers can get lucky sometimes
All the freaks go on a winning streak
Shout it all around the world
'Cause the geeks get the girls
Shout it all around the world
'Cause the geeks get the girls.

We were good, playin' hard, rollin' down the boulevard
Liquor drinks, between the bars
Making out, back of cars
Hey, you see that girl?
She's the one that wrecked my world
Think you're gonna take it far
She don't wanna know who you are
Sunset strip, back in black, i'm right on track
Holdin' court like obie wan, baby's got it goin' on
So what am I supposed to do
She left me I got nothin' to lose
Exit axis bold as love got a new girl i'm thinkin' of
One thing you gotta know
I thought I did everything just to keep you around
I hope that you're happy now
I'll keep my good intentions and you keep the car
This story's coming to an end
Baby we can't be friends

Disco trip, party ships, breakin' down those ruby lips
Ex-girlfriend, comes in view
Sees me there with someone new
Hey, you see that girl?
She's the one I wrecked her world
Baby's in my cadillac, drivin' off no lookin' back

What makes you think I'd wanna call?
I forgot your number
What makes you think I care at all?

Staring down the boulevard
Crescent heights the city lights the way
To another wasted day
Shiny cars and shooting stars
California dreaming in my ear
I just wish that you were here
I'm dealing with scars
Just trying to see who we are
Nobody said it would be easy
Fighting your way through another day
I think I know how you feel
Looking for something that matters
Keeping it together when it's all been shattered
We all want something real

Summer's on a holiday
Pills to chase the blues away
Who knows just how far this story goes
So listen to the radio
Turn it up so you can sing along
Even though the notes are wrong
I'm building up walls
And trying to break all the falls

All your life you're wondering
We don't know what's happening
Somethings gotta give
Falling through the atmosphere
See the world in black and white
These pictures coming clear
How many times I wished that you were here

Nobody really knows the pain
But everybody knows your name
You've got their full attention, all eyes on you
Small talk can get you through the day
There's got to be a better way
When all your friends are faceless
You can fake it
He knows the highs and lows
He'll give you what you need
And we all agree it's time to shine
He'll stand and deliver
He goes about his day
Smile and a wink hello
When the picture's gone
Fading to black he's poppin' down prozac
Nobody knows the highs and the lows

Sports cars and fancy souvenirs
That you collected all these years
So proud and self assured, hold your head high
A chest of broken memories
Of how and why and what could be
Still locked inside your closet
You can't fake it

Waking up late, a grey Sunday morning Got up on the wrong side, so go back to bed Newspaper says, it's gonna be raining At least until Wednesday, but I pay no mind The wonder of it all Caught up in the everlasting fall Watch the years roll by Counting shooting stars across the sky You can wait a whole lifetime to figure out The best days are the ones we forgot about I can't complain, it's been such a mild winter Flip on the TV, those shows that we love The sun will go down, on a north Tulsa sky line Over and over, like the day before The wonder of it all Caught up in the everlasting fall Watch the years roll by Counting shooting stars across the sky You can wait a whole lifetime to figure out The best days are the ones we forgot about We know everything must have an end, we can't pretend It's so nice of you to stick around The wonder of it all Caught up in the everlasting fall Watch the years roll by Counting shooting stars across the sky The wonder of it all Caught up in the everlasting fall Watch the years roll by Counting shooting stars across the sky You can wait a whole lifetime to figure out The best days are the ones we forgot about The best days are the ones we forgot about

No one told me there'd be days like these
I'm sick of sinkin' man I'm on my knees
Tell me again just why you lied to me
It's separation anxiety
Where did I go wrong?
Is what I'm feeling
Some kinda love song
To stop the bleedin'
Get on the right track
We'll never make it back
You go the wrong way
You're goin' my way
All the things I said to you are over now
And I just can't get over you

Since you've been gone I fall apart
I knew you'd leave me from the very start
Tell me again just what you want from me
It's separation anxiety

I understand your point of view
So what do I say
I've been so underwhelmed before
You've got a lot to prove

Somewhere lines get crossed it's true
It's the nature of things
The longer we can see it through
The more we make believe

Baby likes a blue sky
I don't mind if it's gonna rain on me sometime
Maybe got her mind made up for sure
Baby won't you come back home?

All the people that we love
Disappoint us the most
Makeshift friends and low demands

We're runnin' outta time

Baby likes a blue sky
I don't mind if it's gonna rain on me sometime
Maybe got her mind made up for sure
Baby won't you come back home?

My late night call
One way to fall
I miss you still

Baby likes a blue sky
I don't mind if it's gonna rain on me sometime
Maybe got her mind made up for sure
Baby won't you come back home?

Baby won't you come back home? (3x)

Monday mornin' and the coffee's on
What happened to my perfect world
Front page news she's already gone
Say hello to the goodbye girl
LA traffic don't make it better
I wonder if she read my letter
9 to 5 keep it all alive
Some days are hard to survive
I feel so down about it

I don't wanna be alone
Just waitin' by the phone
I can't stand another night on my own
With a new day risin', realizin'
That you gotta be free break it down to you and me
Is it everything you want it to be
I wanted you all along
So where did we go wrong?

Never had a lot of money but we
Spent a good time in the city
Drinkin' wine and watching the telly
Old movies she sure looked pretty
This kitchen feels so alone
Haven't cleaned since she's been gone
Spend my nights at your favorite bar
And I wonder just where you are
I feel so down about it

I don't wanna be alone
Just waitin' by the phone
I can't stand another night on my own
With a new day risin', realizin'
That you gotta be free break it down to you and me
Is it everything you want it to be
I wanted you all along
So where did we go wrong?

I don't wanna turn back time
I just wanna change your mind
I just want a chance to prove to you
I really wanna chase these clouds away (clouds away)
Save them for a rainy day
There's nothin' left to say

I don't wanna be alone
Just waitin' by the phone
I can't stand another night on my own
With a new day risin', realizin'
That you gotta be free break it down to you and me
Is it everything you want it to be
I wanted you all along
So where did we go wrong?

I wanted you all along
So where did we go wrong?
(2x)

I don't understand How we drift so far away I keep on holding on But your hands are feeling so numb Nobody told me that there would be days like these I'm falling baby can't you see And you're in no hurry to keep me from coming undone Take a look at what we've become Where do we go from here? I don't wanna disappear Our hearts are on parade So you can watch them fade I don't understand how the worst of times Get stuck in your mind I'd like to take away All the stupid things that we say
