Save The World
Been away for a long time but now we're back again
Things have changed since we've been gone, not how it was back then
Come along and we’ll show you something that you'll all wanna hear
We’ve got an important message for you, listen loud and clear
Gonna save the world with Rock n Roll (savin’ the world now)
Save the world with Rock n Roll (savin’ the world now)
Gonna save the world tonight
Cut it out with all your hatred, there's no place for that shit
Why don't you take a step back and calm down for a bit?
Every day is a new day, the world is going down
We've got something for you to turn that shit around
Come along to a better way of life, it’s such a simple thing
Hear the words of a loud guitar and listen to it sing

4:04
Rejected once again well this is my reality
Another failure, just another day
I'd love to be an optimist, how could I ever be?
Why do things have to go this way?
What am I doing wrong, is it my own stupidity?
I'm analyzing every word I say
And now I'm still awake at 4:04 in the morning
Why do things have to go this way?
Everytime I close my eyes
Things are running through my mind
I could have done things differently
Now I'm all alone and not happy
An instant replay in my mind
Always ends the same for me
It’s 4:04, go to sleep
Rejected once again well this is my reality
Another failure, just another day
I'll never be an optimist, how could I ever be?
Why do things have to go this way?
Rejected once again well this is my reality
Another failure, just another day
And now I'm still awake at 4:04 in the morning
Why do things have to go this way?
Why do things have to go this way?
Why do things keep going this way?
I really have nothing left to say

I Don't Know
Yesterday was easy
Things weren't complicated
The vision, the future
Many good things awaited
Then slowly it happened
Everything started changing
The good times started to end
I don't know how I'm gonna make it
Everything is getting out of control
It keeps getting harder
Time is passing and I'm just getting old
No one seems to care about the way everything used to be
Life has dramatically changed
Our youth is just a memory
Tomorrow looks different
It won't be like yesterday
I wish I knew back then what it would be like today
Emptiness, frustration, meaningless repetition
It's hard to accept this now
I don't know
Maybe there will be a day
Where it feels like yesterday
That's the place I wanna go, oh oh oh
Will I make it? I don't know, oh oh oh oh
Where is that place? I don't know
I don't know

This Song Is Not About A Girl
Every day I’m writing songs about a girl but something’s wrong
People don’t want to hear that shit from us (they don’t wanna, they don’t wanna)
What do I write for you to approve?
You like pop-punk but you don’t like our groove
Here’s something else, so maybe you’ll give us a chance (they don’t wanna, they don’t wanna)
Does anyone out there like parodies?
Satire with melodies?
I guess not so here’s something for you
No oh oh this song is not about a
This song is not about a
This song is not about a girl
Everyone says our songs sound the same.
We agree, we’re not ashamed.
We heard your band and your songs sound the same too. (they don’t wanna, they don’t wanna)
Relationship Sneakers has the ‘whoa oh oh’.
I Love You Girl has the ‘whoa oh oh’.
The Only Way has the ‘whoa oh oh oh oh oh’. (they don’t wanna, they don’t wanna)
Does anyone out there like melodies?
Satire with harmonies?
I guess not so here’s something for you
No oh oh this song is not about a
This song is not about a
This song is not about a girl
No oh oh this song is not about a
This song is not about a
This song is not about a girl
No oh oh this song is not about a
This song is not about
Fuck you, it’s not about a girl

Listen to My Love Song
Love for you is something that I have
Care for you is something that I do
Come with me and listen to my love song
That’s the way I'll tell you I love you
Love for me is something that you have
Care for me I know you do
Come with me and listen to my love song
That's the way I’ll tell you I love you
Listen and you’ll know how much I love you (love you so, I love you so, I)
Listen and you’ll know how much I care (love you so, I love you so, I)
Listen and you'll see why we’re together (love you so, I love you so, I)
Listen and I'll tell you I love you
Love you so, I love you so,
So come with me and listen to my song
I love you

Across The Room
I saw you there across the room
A millisecond attract
Eyes were making contact
Went by so fast but then I knew you were a possibility
I saw you there across the room
Another point of contact
Moment is in distract
Went by so fast but then I knew that you and I could maybe be
You looked at me
I looked at you
But never said a word that night
And now you're gone
What can I do?
My eyes will travel somewhere new
I saw you there across the room
Our eyes locked on each other
Didn't find another
Went by so fast but then I knew you were a possibility
I saw you there across the room
A millisecond attract
Eyes were making contact
Went by so fast but then I knew that you were feeling something too

Lie

Lie
I could never lie to you
It'd go against my way
I don't wanna lie to you
I don’t know what to say
I'm not good at pretending and I don't wanna lie
You're looking for honesty
Where do we draw the line?
But
What do you do when you try to be true?
I could never lie to you
It'd tear me right apart
I don't wanna say my words cause they might break your heart
Some things are best left unsaid
You wouldn't understand
I don't wanna lie to you
I'm not that kind of man
What do you, what do you..
What do you, what do you do?
Should I lie to you?

Another Blackout Night
Another blackout night
I wanna make things right
What did I say to you?
I'm not such a bad guy
Just sometimes lose my mind
What did I say to you?
Can't remember a thing but it feels bad
I wish I could take back what I may have said
Oh yeah
Another blackout night
I'll never win this fight between myself and I
A missing part of life that I'll never get back
It's gone, but what was it?
Another blackout night
I'm gonna win this fight
Cause I'm cutting down the drink
It’s such a waste of time
Won't let it break my mind
I want to be able to think

Live Those Times

Live Those Times
17 years old, listening to punk rock with my friends
Nothing to do, but the fun would never ever end
20 years later we realized we had it all back then
I wanna live those times instead of remembering
We spend our days lost in a fog of distant memories
And planning for a future we can't see
How did a new beginning get turned into an end?
I wanna live those times instead of remembering
Now we waste our lives away thinking about yesterday
Every now and then we try but time keeps on passing by
But tomorrow’s not guaranteed
And yesterday’s a memory
So let’s laugh before it’s too late
When we were kids we swore that we’d never turn into them
But now it feels like we’re acquaintances and not friends
Wishing away our lives waiting for a never coming weekend
I wanna live those times instead of remembering
Text messages with inside jokes replaced our carefree nights
We all gave in without putting up a fight
We let responsibilities bring it all to an end
I wanna live those times instead of remembering (instead of remembering)
Instead of remembering

And I Want You
You over there, I'm thinking of you baby (I'm thinking of you)
You over there, I just discovered you girl (I discovered you)
You over there, I really want you
I really want you
Looking at you, I saw you look back baby (you looked back at me)
Staring at you, and you're not freaked out baby (you're not freaked at me)
You over there, I really want you
I really want you
I know I want you because look at you
You're so hot, you're burning my mind
I'd love to have you
You know I want you
You're so hot, I could be your guy
Oh yeah
I really want you
Oh I really want you, you..
I really want you

I'm gonna steal your girlfriend, I'm gonna make her mine
She won't be yours, she won't be anybody else's
I'm gonna steal your girlfriend, it's time to say goodbye
She won't be yours, she won't be anybody else's
I'm gonna steal your girlfriend, and she'll belong to me
You'll never ever see that girl again
I'm gonna steal your girlfriend and everyone will see
That she is mine and she ain't anybody else's
I'm gonna steal your girlfriend and she will be mine
I'm gonna steal your girlfriend, I'm gonna take her away
She won't be yours, she won't be anybody else's
I'm gonna steal your girlfriend, I'm gonna make her say
That she is mine and she ain't anybody else's

Cell phone girl, you won't put your phone down
Cell phone girl, you're making me crazy
Cell phone girl, you're hot but annoying too
Cell phone girl, you're sending emojis

Time To Kill
Take it from me, I've been there before and no it isn’t fun
Waiting for something so far away it seems like it won't come
I haven't seen you in a long time and now you're coming back
How long has it been since I've seen your face? Who knows? I'm losing track
I can't wait till I have my moment with you
But I still have time to kill
Time is such a precious thing but now it's killing me
If time goes by then so will I but you I will see
I'm thinking of you and that is why time is slowing down
I'm all alone. I'm waiting for you. What do I do now?

Message in a Dream
Waking up to daily wisdom
Hear my message in a dream
Searching for a lost memory
Hear my message in a dream
Sometimes it's hard for me to find
Clarity in a conscious mind, yeah
So I'll take a different path
And let me speak to me
I'm searching for a long lost vision
Hear my message in a dream
Finding out a new decision
Hear my message in a dream
Hear my message in a dream
Hear my message in a dream

The End?

The End?
When I look back at the things in the past
I’m very sad
We were all young
Those times went by so fast
I'm very sad
Why did you go away?
You could have stayed
Why did you go away?
Life without you hurts without you now
When I look back at the things in the past
I'm very sad
Things were so different
Now it’s all in the past
I'm very sad
Why did you go away?
I wish you stayed
Why did you go away?
Life without you hurts without you now
Never forgotten, memory will transcend
Hard to accept it, but it feels like the end

Recover

Recover
Give me a moment to clear my mind
Things have been crazy, just need some time
Some peace and quiet would be a start
I will recover and I'll go far
Too much distraction, wasting my life
Driving me crazy, years just go by
Won't let it stop me, won’t lose my mind
I will recover, I'll do just fine
Yeah, oh yeah
Cause I'll recover and I'll be fine
Things aren't perfect, they'll never be
I will get through this, just wait and see
For every tunnel, I'll find the light
I will recover, I will tonight
Tonight
