THE DAY THAT I DIE
One day I woke up woke up knowing today is the day I will die
Cashdogg was barking went to the park and enjoyed that one last time
Called my mother told her I loved her and begged her not to cry
Wrote her a letter that said I'd miss her and signed that goodbye...

You know the happiest day of my life
I swear the happiest day of my life is the day that I die

(The day that I died)
Can you feel the cold tonight?
(The day that I died)
It sets in but it's alright
(The day that I died)
Darkness falls I'm letting go
(The day that I died)
All alone but I feel fine

We took a drive and we drove thru D.C.
To see the places we lived, long conversations
We talked of old friends and all the things that we did
Summer nights, drunken fights
Mistakes we made...did we live it right?

You know the happiest day of my life I swear the happiest day of my life
is the day that I died

(The day that I died)
Can you feel the cold tonight?
(The day that I died)
It sets in but it's alright
(The day that I died)
Darkness falls I'm letting go
(The day that I died)
All alone but I feel just fine

You know the happiest day of my life
I know the happiest day of my life
I swear the happiest day of my life is the day that I died

(The day that I died)
Can you feel the cold tonight?
(The day that I died)
It sets in but it's alright
(The day that I died)
Darkness falls I'm letting go
(The day that I died)
All alone but I feel just fine

Did I live it right?
I hope I lived it right
I hope I lived it right, I know I lived it right
Did I live it right?
I hope I lived it right, I know I lived it right
MY OLD MAN
I don't know much about, too much of my old man
I know he walked right out the door we never saw him again
Last I heard he was at the bar doing himself in
I know I got that same disease, I guess I got that from him

This is the story of my old man
Just like his father before him
I'm telling you do anything you can
So you don't end up just like them, like them

Monday he woke up and hated life
Drank until Wednesday and left his wife
Thursday thru Saturday lost everything
Woke up on Sunday miserable again

I remember baseball games and working on the car
He told me that he loved me and that I would go far
showed me how to work hard and stick up for myself
I wish he wasn't too hard to listen to himself

This is the story of my old man
Just like his father before him
I'm telling you do anything you can
So you don't end up just like them, like them

Monday he woke up and hated life
Drank until Wednesday and left his wife
Thursday thru Saturday lost everything
Woke up on Sunday miserable again

Again...again...

Someday he'll wish that he made things right (made things right)
Long for his family and miss his wife (miss his wife)
Remember the days he had everything (everything)
Now he's alone and miserable again



THE YOUNG & THE HOPELESS
Hard days made me, hard nights shaped me
I don't know they somehow saved me
And I know I'm making something out of this life they called nothing
I take what I want
Take what I need
You say it's wrong but it's right for me
I won't look down
Won't say I'm sorry
I know that only God can judge me

And if I make it thru today will tomorrow be the same
Am I just running in place?
If I stubble and I fall
Should I get up and carry on or will it all just be the same

'Cause, I'm young and hopeless
I'm lost and I know this
I'm going nowhere fast that's what they say
I'm troublesome, I've fallen
I'm angry at my father
It's me against this world and I don't care, I don't care

No one in this industry understands the life I lead
When I sing about my past it's not a gimmick not an act
These critics and these trust fund kids
Try to tell me what punk is but when I see them on the streets
they got nothing to say

And if I make it thru today will tomorrow be the same
Am I just running in place?
If I stubble and I fall
Should I get up and carry on or will it all just be the same

'Cause, I'm young and hopeless
I'm lost and I know this
I'm going nowhere fast that's what they say
I'm troublesome, I've fallen
I'm angry at my father
It's me against this world and I don't care, I don't care

'Cause, I'm young and hopeless
I'm lost and I know this
I'm going nowhere fast that's what they say
I'm troublesome, I've fallen
I'm angry at my father
It's me against this world and I don't care, I don't care
WONDERING
If you want me to wait, I would wait for you
If you want me to stay, I would stay right thru
If you don't wanna say anything at all
I'm happy wondering

Go!

(Yeah, yeah)

Since I was a young man I never was a fun man
I never had a plan and no security
Then ever since I met you I never could forget you
I only get you right here next to me

'Cause everybody (a-whoa-oh-oh) needs someone that they can trust and...
And you're somebody (a-whoa-oh-oh) that I found just in time

If you want me to wait, I would wait for you
If you want me to stay, I would stay right thru
If you don't wanna say anything at all
I'm happy wondering

Now my life is changing, it's always rearranging
Always getting stranger than I thought it ever could
Ever since I found you, I wanna be around you
I wanna get down to the point that I need you

'Cause everybody (a-whoa-oh-oh) needs someone that they can trust and...
And you're somebody (a-whoa-oh-oh) that I found just in time

If you want me to wait, I would wait for you
If you want me to stay, I would stay right thru
If you don't wanna say anything at all
I'm happy wondering

Go!

(Yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah)

Don't tell me
The bad news
Don't tell me anything at all
Just tell me
That you need me
And stay right here with me

If you want me to wait, I would wait for you
If you want me to stay, I would stay right thru
If you don't wanna say anything at all
I'm happy wondering

If you want me to wait, I would wait for you
If you want me to stay, I would stay right thru
If you don't wanna say anything at all
I'm happy wondering




BOYS & GIRLS
Educated with money
He's well dressed not funny
And not to say in most conversations
But he'll foot the bill in all situations
'Cause he pays for everything

Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny

Paper or plastic,
Don't matter she'll have it
Vacations and shopping sprees these are a few of her favorite things
She'll get what she wants if she's willing to please
His type of girl always comes with a fee
Hey now there's nothing for free

Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny
And these girls like these boys, like these boys like these girls
The girls with the bodies like boys with Ferraris
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money

Let's go!

Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny
And these girls like these boys, like these boys like these girls
The girls with the bodies like boys with Ferraris
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money

All of these boys, and get all of these girls
Are losing their souls in a material world
All of these boys, and get all of these girls
Are losing their souls in a material world
All of these boys, and get all of these girls
Are losing their souls in a material world
All of these boys, and get all of these girls
Are losing their souls in a material world
SAY ANYTHING
Here I am on the phone again and...
Awkward silence is on the other end
I used to know the sound of a smile in your voice
But right now (right now) all I feel (all I feel)
is the pain of the fighting starting up again

All the things we talk about you know they stay on my mind, on my mind
All the things we laugh about will bring us through it every time,
after time, after time

Don't say a word, I know you feel the same
Just give me a sign, say anything, say anything
Please don't walk away, I know you wanna stay
If you just give me a sign, say anything, say anything

Some say that time changes, best friends can become strangers
But I don't want that, no not for you
If you just stay with me we can make it through

Now I'm wondering if they ever change
When will you laugh again, laugh like you did back when
We'd make noise til 3:00 AM
And the neighbors would complain

All the things we talk about you know they stay on my mind, on my mind
All the things we laugh about will bring us through it every time,
after time, after time

Don't say a word, I know you feel the same
Just give me a sign, say anything, say anything
Please don't walk away, I know you wanna stay
If you just give me a sign, say anything, say anything

I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling down
I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling down
Down...down...down

Don't say a word, I know you feel the same
Just give me a sign, say anything, say anything
Please don't walk away, I know you wanna stay
If you just give me a sign, say anything, say anything

(Please don't leave)
Don't say a word, I know you feel the same
Just give me a sign, say anything, say anything
(Please don't leave)
Please don't walk away, I know you wanna stay
If you just give me a sign, say anything, say anything

LITTLE THINGS
Like the time in school when we got free lunch,
And the cool kids beat us up (reduced lunch),
And the rich kids had convertibles,
And we had to ride the bus (55),
Like the time we made the baseball team,
But they still laughed at us (you still suck!),
Like the time that girl broke up with me,
'cause i wasn't cool enough (trick!!)

Chorus
The little things, little things,
They always hang around,
The little things, little things,
They try to break me down,
The little things, little things,
They just won't go away,
The little things, little things,
Made me who i am today,

Bridge

You wanna hate me now,
But i won't stop now,
'cause i can't stop now,

Like the time mom went to that institute,
'cause she was breakin' down (i just can't take it!),
Like the car we had that wouldn't start,
We had to walk to get around (can i get a ride?),
And that same year on christmas eve,
Dad went to the store (uhhh¡­see you guys later),
We checked his room,
His things were gone,
We didn't see him no more (dick!),

Chorus

Bridge

Chorus
CHANGE
I am lost in the see-thru,
I think you lost yourself too,
Throughout all of this confusion,
I hope i somehow get to you,
I practiced all the things i'd say,
To tell you how i feel,
And when i finally get my chance,
It all seems so surreal,
¡®cause from the first time i saw you,
I only thought about you,
I didn't know you,
I wanted to hold onto,
The things you'd never say to me,
¡®cause you said,

Chorus
You can't change the way you feel,
I could never do that,
I could never do that,
But you can't tell me this ain't real, ¡®cause this is real,
And you would see right through that,
In the end it's all i've got,
So i'm gonna hold onto that,
So i'm gonna hold on and on and on and on,

Now you've got me watching your eyes,
Got me waiting just to see,
If it goes the way it never will,
Your eyes are watching me,
And now you've got me thinking ¡®bout,
The first time that i met you,
Standing in a crowded room,
But i could only see you,
And now i hope my words will get through,
¡®cause now i can't forget you,
I want to tell you,
If i could only reach you,
And make you feel this way,
But you said,

Chorus



SEASONS
Summer air reminds me of all the feelings of your love,
And what it was like when we were together,
Walking all along the beach, you were never far from my reach,
And you held me through the stormy weather,

Chorus
And i want to fall in love tonight,
And i remember when you said "everything is gonna be alright,"

Laying in the summer grass,
You told me not to talk so fast as i told you how i feel,
You made me feel right at home,
You told me i was not alone and you knew just how i feel,

Chorus

I know we talked about it,
I just can't get around it,
I just want one more night with you,

Chorus

October air reminds me of all the feelings of your love,
And what it was like, when we were together,
The smell of fall is everywhere and though it seems,
I just don't care, 'cause now you're gone away,

Chorus


COMPLICATED
one time,........(one time),
Alright here we go,(two times),
One time through your mind,your body and your soul
Everytime,let it rhyme,you know im in control. alright (here we go, here we go,
Here we go..)

And we've been here for so many years,
Still it seems as if you're not there (are you there),
Every time i talk you turn away (do you care),
Isn't dad an obligation to care,(and we said)


Chorus
And we've been here for so many years,so many years
Still it seems,(what)
So complicated, overrated, complicated,this feeling is love,

Well i came in the door,
I said it before,
I never let the stress get
Me down no more, giving thanks to the lord,yo i pray everyday,
Giving shouts to my peeps and this is what we say,

Chorus

You got your one little room with a black and white tv,
You got your one single bed,that you dont wanna see,
You're living all alone you're like a dog without a bone,
You're living all alone 'cause you left us all at home,
Well you had a second chance but you threw it all away,
A fourth and fifth and sixth,now that was yesterday
Now you're sitting at a bar just drowning in your tears,
Lonely in the corner while everybody cheers,

Chorus

Six dollars in your pocket one's a secret stash,
Three's for alcohol and two's for cigarettes,(alright)

End
