You'll have to forgive me I just don't feel like dancing tonight the stars aren't quite shining the moon isn't quite bright some bonds are stronger stronger than our mistakes I'll be your friend no matter what it takes In another life in another world you might be my girl but since that can't be will you forgive me? some bonds are stronger stronger than our mistakes will you be my friend no matter what it takes?

Lost & Found 02:38
I gave you something of mine for safe keeping all you said was "no take backs" now I'm feeling the loss want it back at any cost how could you be so selfish, baby? I fall down all the time I split myself in two and I can feel you even when you're not around I'm just digging through the lost and found Now I'm on your trail I won't be derailed wanna feel like myself again no more sleepless nights no more lost appetites no more death by offhand remark I fall down all the time I split myself in two and I can feel you even when you're not around I'm just digging through the lost and found

Our Mistake 02:32
You didn't know what you were getting into when you picked me up I can get my feet wet too when I'm feeling up I'm not just that sad boy you thought you knew well guess again, guess again I wanted to be more than friends You never wanted to stay but I still had a good time It wasn't the best idea but goddamn it was ours something got in the way everything turned sour was it your mistake was it mine or was it ours? I guess I'm just a little confused we bit off more than we could chew there's nothing left for us to do but to bid each other adieu I know what I want and I always play for keeps will you hold that against me? You never wanted to stay but I still had a good time It wasn't the best idea but goddamn it was ours something got in the way everything turned sour was it your mistake was it mine or was it ours?

Lookin' 03:57
Do you ever talk to yourself as you walk across the street just like I do? Do you daydream about somewhere new? When you close your eyes do you see the movies of your mistakes? Do you wish you could apologize to every face? Failed conversations litter the floor you'll never be what they're lookin' for Failed conversations litter the floor but you'll always be what I'm lookin' for I can tell by the way you look at yourself in the mirror when you wake something ain't right with the way the light enters your eyes Failed conversations litter the floor you'll never be what they're lookin' for Failed conversations litter the floor but you'll always be what I'm lookin' for

I'm happy to apologize to you to deny you the pleasure of putting me through one of your little games the kind you like to play to make you feel ok about yourself you oughta know by now that I don't let anyone bring me down let alone small people like you haven't you got anything better to do? Of course you're not big enough to admit your emotions got the best of you you lash out to cause others pain it's all you know how to do you oughta know by now that I don't let anyone bring me down let alone small people like you haven't you got anything better to do?

Love -- the very word provokes disgust you've got a new set of keys in your hand you're gonna kick up some dust but when you're back's against the wall those wheels won't take you far enough at all you can't run from your heart teenagers need to fall down you ain't got nothing until you've been on the ground I bet you're in your room right now scouring your contact list for some way out but you won't find much help in there cause every kid you know is fucked up and helpless the whole generation's a mess teenagers need to fall down you ain't got nothing until you've been on the ground

I made a big mistake and I raked myself over the coals for six months before I could give myself a break nothing's new I've been this way since I was two it's all that I can take and all I can say is I don't want to feel the way I felt before anymore I feel a change everything begins to rearrange this feelings are so strange no sense in holding on to anything once it is gone time to find some new fun and all I can say is I don't want to feel the way I felt before anymore
8.
What ever happened to us? We used to play wiffle ball all summer long in your backyard with your weird little brother and his weird little friends then your mom would make lasagna we'd play video games until 4 AM life was good back then, my friend but your parents took you away I wish that you'd stayed the memories won't fade away I wish that you'd stayed So many years between us I just don't know how to reach out the distance fills me with self doubt Do you share the same memories as me of the Ramones and street hockey? Study hall together was pretty sweet. but your parents took you away I wish that you'd stayed the memories won't fade away I wish that you'd stayed
9.
You're Wrong 02:22
I heard you say I'm wasting my time but you don't understand my life you think I want a spot in your world that I need money to be satisfied but I know you're wrong you're so quick to swallow whatever dangles by your nose and the path is so easy to follow it leads wherever you've been told to go but I know you're lost
10.
once upon a time you were my partner in crime you understood my mind why did you have to go? now everything is at a standstill everything is in the landfill I just gotta let you know you left me on this coast you left me all alone you left me with your ghost you're so cold when are you gonna come back? we got so much left do I'm not the same without you I know you're living the life that you want over there you probably don't want me in your hair but I just can't hold my tongue you threw our band in the dump I gotta say it wasn't fair you left me on this coast you left me all alone you left me with your ghost you're so cold when are you gonna come back? we got so much left do I'm not the same without you
