Story Of My Life 02:54
lyrics

Here it is the story of my life I'm saving all the boring parts for Somebody who cares for all the details Who cares for all of these details? Anyway what can I say I want to venture out and come right back again Without a map or anything at all I want to venture out I want to venture out I want to venture out Open up your books to chapter 1 And you can rip the words right out Start with pages 1-37 The fun all stops at 11 'Cuz after that its all the same I want to venture out and come right back again Without a map or anything at all I want to venture out I want to venture out I want to venture out I wrote you a story just throw it away Skim through the picture that I drew upon the page Counting all the photographs that you were never in I'm losing count so I should start again Here it is the story of my life I'm saving all the boring parts because I want to venture out I want to venture out and come right back again Without a map or anything at all I want to venture out I want to venture out I want to venture out

She'll try to wake up every morning smiling She sees the signs of warning piling And everyones gathered around to watch her sing her heart out 'Cuz they know She's singing on to the world To all of the boys and the girls Tell her to wait for me And I won't sing off key I don't know all the words but I will try Singing along Ba da da da da da da da Tell her to wait Tell her to ba da da da da da da She bought a guitar and she wants to learn to play And everybody follows as she makes her way Across the town She's running around They'll watch her play her heart out 'Cuz they know She's singing on to the world To all of the boys and the girls Tell her to wait for me And I won't sing off key I don't know all the words but I will try Singing along Ba da da da da da da da Tell her to wait Tell her to ba da da da da da da I want to know All the things she knows She is gold And she's got a hold On me On me On me She's singing on to the world To all of the boys and the girls Tell her to wait for me And I won't sing off key I don't know all the words but I will try Singing along Ba da da da da da da da Tell her to wait Tell her to ba da da da da da da I want to know All the things she knows She is gold And she got a hold on me

What Could've Been 03:20
lyrics
buy track
I was hoping for something honest But I can't count on you Now its over but still I wonder If anything is true The ashes fall The cards will crumble But I won't break apart I want to believe in anything I wanted to see what we could have been Burning broken bridges footsteps can't be traced Counting all the memories that will be erased The ashes fall the cards will crumble But I won't break apart I want to believe in anything I wanted to see what we could have been I waited for you to pour out the answers But you stood in silence and slowly turned away I want to believe in anything I wanted to see what we could have been I want to believe in anything I wanted to see what we could have been

The News Today 03:24
lyrics
buy track
I just read the news today Its the last time that they will let us Believe in a world full of dreams All these hospital screams Are setting the tone for a new set of themes Where those who are living a lie Are the ones who are getting it right And those who are turning away Are getting rewarded today Every time I fall I'm falling hard Whenever I do I'll break apart I wish it left a mark and not a scar 'Cuz whenever I see it I feel like I'm giving up I just got some different news from another place 'Cuz I'm savvy and resourceful And you wouldn't believe what I did to retrieve it So let us just skip that part And flip to the page that reads that everything is A-ok but me So you see Every time I fall I'm falling hard Whenever I do I'll break apart I wish it left a mark and not a scar 'Cuz whenever I see it I feel like I'm giving up I just finally figured out right here and now that I'm selfless And I've noticed that I may sometimes come off as pretentious But that is never my intent I look to the cover story It states that I'm lame and boring I tend to get all caught up in the lies I despise Every time I fall I'm falling hard Whenever I do I'll break apart I wish it left a mark and not a scar 'Cuz whenever I see it I feel like I'm giving up I'm tired of giving up I just read the news today I made the final page 'cuz I'm hopeless

Shooting Star 04:24
lyrics
buy track
Sit down I've got a lot to say The spotlight wasn't made all for you Step out so that I can share the light If only for tonight we made a little room for two Running backwards Swimming sideways You write your name in shiny lights Then you drag me out to see the sights Wish upon a shooting star That you could be one too And every time I see you fall I'll close my eyes and make a wish for you Somehow you're too caught up in yourself To think how someone else might feel Come down from way up in the sky You're a diamond in my eye And you don't even try Running backwards Swimming sideways You write your name in shiny lights Then you drag me out to see the sights Wish upon a shooting star That you could be one too And every time I see you fall I'll close my eyes and make a wish for you Shut it all down Shut it all down Shut it all down Strip this circuit bare Shut it all down Shut it all down Shut it all down Strip this circuit bare Running backwards Swimming sideways You write your name in shiny lights Then you drag me out to see the sights Wish upon a shooting star That you could be one too And every time I see you fall I'll close my eyes and make a wish for you
