Are you gonna live your life wonderin’ standing in the back lookin’ around?

Are you gonna waste your time thinkin' how you’ve grown up or how you missed out?

Things are never gonna be the way you want.

Where's it gonna get you acting serious?

Things are never gonna be quite what you want.

Or even at 25, you gotta start sometime.

I’m on my feet, I’m on the floor, I’m good to go.

Now all I need is just to hear a song I know.

I wanna always feel like part of this was mine.

I wanna fall in love tonight.

Are you gonna live your life standing in the back looking around?

Are you gonna waste your time?

Gotta make a move or you'll miss out.

Someone's gonna ask you what it’s all about.

Stick around nostalgia won't let you down.

Someone's gonna ask you what it’s all about.

Whatcha gonna have to say for yourself?

I’m on my feet, I’m on the floor, I’m good to go.

Now all I need is just to hear a song I know.

I wanna always feel like part of this was mine.

I wanna fall in love tonight.

Crimson and clover, over and over.

Crimson and clover, over and over.

Our house in the middle of the street, why did we ever meet?

Started my rock 'n roll fantasy.

Don't don't, don't let's start, why did we ever part?

Kick start my rock 'n rollen heart.

I’m on my feet, I’m on the floor, I’m good to go.

So come on Davey, sing me somethin’ that I know.

I wanna always feel like part of this was mine.

I wanna fall in love tonight.

Here tonight.

I wanna always feel like part of this was mine

I wanna fall in love tonight.

Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or
looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle, it'll up the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be allright.
Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be allright.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be allright.
Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or
looked down on.
Just do your best, do everything you can.
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be allright.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be allright.

when you're on....i swear......you're on
you rip my heart right out you rip my heart right out
i think the whole room can hear me clear my throat
you rip my heart right out you rip my heart right out
if you still care at all don't go tell me now
if you love me at all don't call

then out of no where you put me right back there
you rip my heart right out you rip my heart right out
we know what happens when we get to your house
you rip my heart right out you rip my heart right out
if you still care at all don't go tell me now
if you love me at all please don't tell me now
if you still care at all don't go tell me now
if you love me at all don't call

i throw away everything i've written you...
anything just keep my mind off it
thinking how i had you once

sometimes i wish i could lose you...
again

your winning me over with everything you say
you rip my heart right out you rip my heart right out
when i let you closer.... i only want you closer.....
you rip my heart right out you rip my heart right out

if you still care at all don't go tell me now
if you love me at all please don't tell me now
if you still care at all don't go tell me now
if you love me at all don't call

If you're listening

Sing it back

String from your tether unwinds
Up and outward to bind

I was spinning free

with a little sweet
and simple numbing me
Are you listening

Sing it back

So tell me what do I need

when the words
lose their meaning

I was spinning free

with a little sweet
and simple numbing me
Yeah stumble until you crawl

Sinking into sweet uncertainty

If you're listening
Are you listening
Sing it back

I'm still running away

I won't play your hide and seek game

I was spinning free

with a little sweet
and simple numbing me
What a dizzy dance

This sweetness will not be
concerned with me
No the sweetness will not be
concerned with me

There's no one in town I know
You gave us someplace to go
I never said thank you for that
I thought I might get one more chance
What would you think of me now
So lucky so strong so proud
Never said thank you for that
Now I'll never have a chance
May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads
the sleepless go
May angels lead you in

So what would you think of me now
So lucky so strong so proud
I never said thank you for that
Now I'll never have a chance
May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads
the sleepless go
May angels lead you in
May angels lead you in
May angels lead you in
May angels lead you in
May angels lead you in

And if you were with me tonight
I'd sing to you just one more time
A song for a heart so big
God wouldn't let it live
May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads
the sleepless go
May angels lead you in
May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads
the sleepless go
May angels lead you in

The time I would spend with pictures I would not send.
I watched you go from left to right.
I followed you all night across my blinds.
You'll change your mind come monday and turn your back on me.
You'll take your steps away with hesitance.
Take your steps away from me.
I'm making my peace, making it with distance.
Maybe that's a big mistake.
You know I'm thinking of you.
I miss you.
You'll change your mind come monday and turn your back on me.
You'll take your steps away with hesitance.
You'll take your steps away from me.

It’s how the hustle goes, see what the jukebox knows.
Put my last quarter on, I play "Authority Song".
Honesty or mystery?
Tell me I’m not scared anymore.
I got no secret purpose, I don’t seem obvious do I?
I don’t seem obvious do I?
The DJ never has it, J A M C Automatic.
If those were Roy's headphones, you bet he'd play "What Goes On".
Honesty or mystery?
Tell me I’m not scared anymore.
I got no secret purpose, I don’t seem obvious do I?
I don’t seem obvious do I?
Oh I'm here, that means something doesn't it?
Oh won’t you dance with me a little bit?
Oh you don’t notice, I guess the music’s too loud.

I see it around me
I see it in everything
I could be so much more than this

I said my goodbyes
This is my sundown
I'm going to be so much more than this

With one hand high you'll show them your progress
You'll take your time
But no one cares
No one cares

I need you to show me the way from crazy
I want to be so much more than this

With one hand high you'll show them your progress
You'll take your time
But no one cares
No one cares (4x

i've been now sauntering out and down a path sometime
it takes me nowhere which i knew
i need a reason
call it treason
maybe catch her i don't know
too Much to know

bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind
lady screaming, lady leave
'cause sometimes people stare
coming down, electric chair
and steaming crowds they gather and they shout

don't know why this evil follows me
so why is he trying to follow me?
how many reasons do they need?
i might just be right this time
i might just believe this time

its a new religion
i'm talking for free, i can't stop myself
i've something to see, i can't help myself
(its a new religion)
