H2O [American Punk Band]

ain't it strange how time just slips away
then i got your call the other day
all these years and you're still in that place
and you really don't have much to say
like, what about your dreams?
and are they blowing away,
while you sit there wishing you could start again

chorus
are you stuck in a rut? helpless not hopeless
got a fear in your gut? helpless not hopeless
are you waiting for luck? helpless not hopeless

and i know how hard it is to change, with so many lives to
rearrange and every time you feel so close, you forget
about what you want most like what about your dreams ,
and are they blowing away
while you sit there wishing you could start again

chorus

time, it's funny how time slips away
time, and how your dreams fade away
time, and it's hard, hard to make that change
but, you can make that change

chorus

Just when you thought you had it made
You had a life your bills were paid
But your heart was numb inside
Abandoned by your foolish pride
And this I know, nothing comes from shallow goals
I've tried and you will find, all your riches they come from inside

And here it comes that empty feeling again
I wanna help you out
I wanna make you understand what it's about
I'm not just here to be your fairweather friend
We'll see this to the end and get you on your feet again

Now that you've lost, you win so much
Now there's only you to trust, with your mind left open wide
First day of the rest of your life
So now you know there's something you can't control
It's ok, your war has died, but the battle still goes on outside

Stand up - on your feet

s
what else can i say, that's not been said
each day i rise up, thinking i've wised up
i realize that i don't know shit

chorus
i don't know where i'm gonna be - day by day with me
i don't know where i'm gonna land - day by day with me
my five year plan, has turned to ten
and it's all gonna happen

again millenniums coming, better start running
straight for a place in history
so fast the past went, none of our time
spent wondering what's gonna happen to me

chorus

again and again through time i see - day by day
i'm going through changes to find what's best for me - day by day
i know where i am and i know where i'm from
so i got to face the future and take it as it comes

chorus

I'm staying away from your negative space
You're only bringing me down
Whenever you come around
I see the look on your face, you're in a world of hate
Don't wanna be the one you take it out on

Anger is a wall around you
No-one's getting through
Friendships falling down around you
What are you gonna do?

I'm trying to give something positive
You wouldn't understand
Cause it's an open hand
Not a closed fist, are you getting the jist
Or are you just getting pissed

I'm not willing to waste my time
Believing that you're gonna do what's right
I won't be there to catch your fall
Only to find I don't know you at all

Know all about you but are you just a name
You like the feeling a reputation brings
Some say your violent and people are afraid
I say you're silent and holding back the pain
Inside - you just can't live a lie
Inside - just can't live a lie

Reputation calls and now it follows you
But what about the changes you been going through
One of these days the things they say
Won't mean the same as before then when reputation calls
You don't have to answer anymore

One of these days when you don't feel so hard
One of these days when you put down your guard
Heart hanging out for the world to see
When standing alone whole will you be

No more lies with violent ends,
No more fakes disguised as friends,
No one has the time to waste on them!!!

I want you to know, something that I feel
It's deep inside of me and part of you as well
Understanding, it slips so far away and sometimes I can't deal
Don't have the time for someone else's scandal
My own life is hard enough to handle

And I still believe, most people are the same
We're so conflicted and we need someone to blame
Is it just pride or do we have to hide
All our problems, no we will never tell

And we will liberate ourselves from them - liberate
Liberate!!!

Never really been into religion
Never gave a fuck about superstition
But such strange things are happening
First once, then twice, then once again

Never really thought we'd reach a third one
Still there are those who haven't heard one
So we still have such a mission
Our trilogy must have tradition
Then once, I could not believe, even twice I was still naive
In my heart, in my head, these words are said

I don't care what you say, I'll follow the three way

I've never been into science fiction
So I guess this is a contradiction
Or is it just numberology but hey it's looking out for me

Old School-Recess!!! (4x)

Where did we go so wrong, how did we last so long
All I can think now that we're here, is when we gonna have
Some fun can't forget what we were, even if it's all a blur
And never forget why we're still young
And how we all still endure

I don't wanna be 13, I only wanna share the scene
All I really want to do is to have Saturday
Everyday for the rest of our lives

Old School-Recess!!! (4x)

When did it come to this, too much of this business
I'm not under no fucking gun
So when we gonna have some fun
Tell me how you got so sad, with all the good times we had
When all you really want is to have Saturday
When you're tired of living in the past - Saturday
When you only want good times to last - Saturday
Everyday for the rest of our lives! - old school- recess (4x)

Am I responsible for what I think and feel?
Is there a model I could never be
Am I depending on you
To show, to say, to tell me what to do
Because I think, I say
It helps me find a way
To voice my opinion without all this shit
And I know, I try to read between the lines
Cause some truth may lie there waiting
But I don't

I won't sit back and let it happen
I will stand up, I won't sit back
And watch the tables turn
Is this a lesson that we've all got to learn

How can one person really know?
And set a path for me to follow
Reality deviod of truth
Can only represent the concrete proof
That I need to hear
It tells me what to fear
To voice my opinion without all this shit

Try but you can't bring me down
Try but you can't let me
Try but you can't bring me down
Try

I've come too far now
To ever close my eyes
Made my mistakes
And I wear no disguise
I speak my mind and let the rumors
Twist the worlds around
Some try so hard, but no one gets me down

I get so stressed out
I keep running out of time
I'll do my best to make
A better life
I feel your doubt and I don't even
Wonder why
Got it figured out
All I have to do is try

When times get tough, I'll rise above
Can't get me down, no you can't
Let me down, I made my mistakes
Wear no disguise, I've come too far now
To ever close my eyes

She was with him, now everybody knows
Cause she told a friend, and that's the way it goes
People have loose lips, sometimes behind your back
You know, that's how they get their kicks
When the conversation lacks, you know

Tell a tale of contradiction
Gossip causes crucifixtion
They talk too much shut up
They talk too much
And I don't like what they say
It's just a bunch of bullshit anyway

He took her out to see what he could get
He got nothing but had to tell the guys he had
That's how rumors start
Just how they end I don't know
Go on spread the word
I don't listen anymore

I see it in us, I see it in us
I know it's in us but I
I see it in us, I see it in us
I see it's in us but I
I can't quite put my finger on it

We're all guilty of it
How many times do we end up with nothing
When we try real hard and only see it one way
We think we'll go further but where will we be?
Just one step closer, still moving closer
To a million miles backwards
Reality reasons, it wasn't meant to be
All this time I felt so strongly
And it was all for nothing
Nothing

I think I finally figured it out

Hear what I'm saying
It was always true
I was never playing
When it came to you
Never good at showing
What you mean to me
Here's my last chance
To set my mind at ease

And all the times you slipped
Between the cracks disguised
As something sacred
Never knowing that I wanted you
Hold you in my arms, protect you
Never let the world upset you
Handing my life over to you

I was always running searching for excuses not to be together
Now the chase is over with this ring on your finger
This will be forever

Once again you find yourself
Alone without a cause
Still the same bad habits
But you haven't paid the cost
Still searching for the seed
That grew into your need
That's who you are don't hide the scar

Now you look around for sympathy
Your life's a fuckingg mess
And she can't look into your eyes
And never hate to guess
She's looking for a stone
That crushed into your home
And you're still wanting to believe
That you can cover up the scar
That's who you are, we see the scar
That's who and what we see the cut
Wear the scar that's who you are

Thinking back to when
You were a lost and lonely kid
A look back at the tragic
And the damage that it did
Still waiting for the day
It all just goes away
That's who you are don't hide the scar

Now you know the reason
Why you feel so full of hate
Throw a stone I'm sure you'll
Hit someone who can relate
And now you know the reason
For the way you are
But you're still wanting to believe
That you can cover up the scar
That's who you are, we see the scar
That's who and what we see the cut
Wear the scar that's who you are

When you talk about your homelife
I try to identify
With my own memories
Childhood life was such a breeze
But now i'm slipping away
From the boy my mother made
I'm growing on, but i hold on
To the days that made me fell so
Powerless and ignorant
Without a cent, without the sense to know
That one day i would have to try
To survive and go

First time you gotta leave your home
Second time you live alone
Third time you just don't know
Fourth time you gotta pack your life and go

On the day my father died
I was too naive to cry
Inside i was so unclear
I always thought he's reappear
But now i'm slipping away
From the lost child he made
I'm growing but i hold on
To his name and to the days of
Innocence and selfishness
I find these things impossible to shake
But i won't break, until i take
Take a fuckingg chance and go

Standing alone in a situation
Somebody's talking their shit
Trying to control my frustration
Somebody's gonna get hit

But when is it right to fight?
And when is it right to walk away?

Sometimes we have no choice
And this is the price we pay Cause we don't have to be
What people see
Got our own minds
Got our own realities
We try to stick together
And let the music be our might
But this time there's gonna be a fight

We're not about senseless violence
Don't wanna spoil the fun
But when you get pushed, feels like an ambush
And this time you cannot run

This time wrong or right

If I say something that you don't like
Just think about it cause I may be right
If I say something just hear me out
Cause I just might know what I'm talking about

If I say something whatever I say
Cause my words have meaning and that's the truth
Life's full of problems and baby that's ok
Inside the crew and that's the way

So just remember that what I say
When I say something well don't turn your head
I'm here to help you when things go wrong
Lean on my shoulder my friend
