I don't ever want to take you for granted. I don't ever want to forget what it was like before you or how it would be without you. I don't ever want to forget our first kiss or our last touch, or let a day go by without telling you how much you mean to me, how deeply I love you, & how much I need you. I don't ever want you to doubt the way I feel or how much happier I am because of you.

You make me want to sing out loud;
I don't care who listens anymore.
Loud & so off key, I will sing my song
& you will be the lyrics to my heart.

We change for those that tell us what's cool, what's not, what's in & what's out. I guess we think just because they appear to be so sure of themselves & the world, it makes whatever they say right. But by being so passive, we have only given them a sense of authority, & suddenly our own values & morals no longer matter. Even when we say it's not us that changed but it's everything around us, we are only blinded by the fear that we did indeed push away our past, in  hopes of a better status in the future. Yet those that actually put forth an effort in an attempt to advise us for the better, we reply with silent actions, silent words. We acknowledge them as fools, for we think whatever they keep trying to embed in our lives is something we are already so certain of. Then we find ourselves at rock bottom, suddenly contradicting everything we so eagerly claimed we had already known. That's the funny thing about life, we realize things aren't always as they seem, things also being people. Fools are a lot wiser than what we have given them credit for.

I felt the wind on my cheek coming down from the east and thought about how we are all as numerous as leaves on trees. And maybe ours is the cause of all mankind. Give love to make more.

This is me wishing you into the worst situations. I'm the kind of kid that can't let anything go. But you wouldn't know a good thing if it came up and slit your throat.


[six]
This is ignorance.
Failure to evolve is failure to us all.
When will you learn that this is where we fall?

"I nodded my head and took it all in as if it made sense. And in a sense, I suppose, it did. We live in a crazy world and if you want to get through it with your body and soul even a little bit intact, you might as well be crazy yourself. It couldn't hurt. It just might help."


[eight]
I've got the microphone so don't go too far, I'm gonna tell the world who you really are.



[nine]
Love taught me I could have feelings that I never felt before. Losing taught me to hold onto something good if I find it. Living taught me to never regret anything because at that very moment, it seemed right.

I can see him coming from a mile. Well, he's looking for another taste but I'm gonna put him in his place.



[eleven]
We came here together, most of us unprepared. We were all worried, we were all a little scared. There were times we felt alone, times we felt sad. But it took times like those to realize what we had.


[twelve]
I finally worked up the courage to tell you what I have denied. And you're not there to listen. You're not there to care. You're not there at all.

[one]
Don't ignore me; don't act like we're strangers. I know you love her now & you know I hate her, but don't pretend the love we had wasn't real. That hurts; that wasn't part of the deal. We're not together anymore, but we are in my heart. When you look at me like everyone else, it completely tears me apart.


[two]
The world is full of goodbyes.
You probably meet a new one every day,
but that never makes it any easier.



[three]
Is anybody satisfied with who they really are? You could be the moon and still be jealous of the stars. You gotta learn to swim if you can't walk upon the sea, so I'm learning to live with me.


[four]
But since then I been back down to the end. I can't believe the things you never said. I can't explain the words I never found. My whole world should come crashing down, you know.



[five]
You had another bad day. You let me know that you just can't take it. I've given up on you. You live in truth and I know I can't fake it.


[six]
Daylight burns your sleepy eyes. It's hard to see you dreaming. You hide inside yourself. I wondered what you're thinking and everything you're chasing, it seems to leave you empty.



[seven]
And even though the moment passed me by, I still can't turn away. Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose got tossed along the way. And letters that you never meant to send get lost or thrown away.


[eight]
I know you're gonna see these things some day. So don't stop lookin' for that light along the way.



[nine]
Well you didn't see it coming cause you never understood that there's a time to draw the line when things are going good.


[ten]
Good morning sunlight, as I get used to you. It's all gonna be alright. I did all I can do and as I'm waiting for those eyes to say what's on your mind, I finally think I've found the words to say.
