Let Me Know 03:58
You might always have the money But you wont always have the time And you can spend the former on the latter But it wont matter No it wont matter Cuz its out of our hands Yeah it’s out of our hands And all I can do Is hold your hand For as long as I can And I know that it’s a bit naïve To believe that you need me But next year is so far out of sight So I’m just hoping hoping hoping this is right But I know That time will tell Yes time will tell But until we know what we’re gonna do For right now ive got you And allow me to be candid for a moment But you already know it Wo ai ni And I don’t expect you to repeat That is only if you mean it So tell me if you mean it Cuz I need to know which way to go Which way to go So when youre ready Just let me know

Can we make a time machine, and load it up with memories so clear we'll see forever? And even if those memories hurt, it still would be completely worth it for memories like these. Well, you and me have got to be the strangest pairing ever seen, you're so short! And I'm so tall. But apples, peaches, pumpkin pie, We only live until we die, and it's worth it for memories like these. Like la la la, la da da da, la da da da, la da da da la la da da dum, la da da dum da dum la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la da da dum da dum And seasons change so rapidly, it's difficult to even see the leaves before they're gone. And friends you thought forgot about you suddenly are reaching out, and it's worth it for memories like these. June, July, and August passed without a doubt. Down came the rain, and washed the Summer out. Out came the sun and dried up all that rain, and the moments of our lives began again. And it was worth it. It was worth it for memories like these. So can we make that time machine and load it up with memories so clear, we'll see forever? And even if those memories hurt, it still would be completely worth it for memories like these. Like la la la...etc. Yeah, even if those memories hurt, it still would be completely worth it for memories like these.

Baby Burden 02:48
A disappointment is such an easy thing to be It seems to come so naturally to me, lately I asked a baby if he’s ever been a burden I said if you’re not sure then just compare yourself to me Cuz I’ve become a prime example Of someone who just cant quite handle The majority of my responsibility But you’ll never stopped being judged The gavel always comes down hard And when the verdict comes around You might have to dear with alone, yes alone Sometimes magnets lose their charge And sometimes hearts enlarge, only to deflate And I believe less than half of everything that people say And you can’t expect for things to change in a day No you can’t expect for things to change in a day

It’s like kissing with your teeth clenched, running through the pouring rain drenched in anger and sorrow and fear of tomorrow, cause you never gave today a proper chance! And it’s like swimming in a song, holding your breath for too long, and running through quick sand while reaching out your hand and kicking and screaming throughout your own party, cause you got mustard on your skirt! Oh, It could be worse! It could always be worse! I promise you, I promise you it could be worse! Than playing nurse to a bunch of self-diagnosed patients who are wearing on your patience, you can feed them beer and lies until the night finally dies, and you go home. You’re still alone. Until the day, the day is reversed. And it could be worse! It could always be worse! I promise you, I promise you it could be worse! Than biting your tongue to spite your heart, Wanting to speak the truth, but not able to start, Than to hold your soul under lock and key, Constantly scared of the girl you’d be, Or the boy so afraid of what he don’t know Too proud to ask, too smart to let it show, He’ll look into your face, And he’ll smile to your face, And he’ll tell you, he’ll tell you he LOVES you! And you’ll never believe him. For whatever reason. Til’ he gives up and lets you go-oh-oh! And it could be worse! It could always be worse! I promise you, I promise you it could be worse! Cause there’s one way out, You have to face yourself beyond the shadow of a shadow of a shadow of a shadow of a shadow of a doubt! And what could be worse? Oh what could be worse? Can somebody tell me what could be worse? Oh, there’s somebody who’s got it worse than you’ve got it, Cause you, you could be dead or stupid! Same thing!

Well all your favorite actors died And all your favorite bands sold out And you never have sufficient funds inside your bank account And the book that you were reading It was missing the last page And you had to make a choice to finish it or throw it away And you can parallel that problem To life , or love, or death But if you can’t see what the ending’s like, why are you worried about it But you’re not the only one that’s scared of the afterlife And you’re not the only one that’s haunted by the ghosts of time But you should realize As much as you think you control your life you can’t control when it’s time to die As much as you think you control your life you can’t control when it’s time to die And all your favorite authors lied There was no truth to what they wrote about And that pretty bird that sang to you has sadly flown south And you used to be so happy, but now you sit around and pout And all the drinking ruins all the words that come out of your mouth But we’ll just keep on shaving minutes off our lives And we’ll always do the things we know aren’t right But we’ll sing tonight If your number came up in the middle of the night Could you say that you enjoyed your life? If your number came up in the middle of the night Could you say that you enjoyed your life?

Spelling Bee 03:17
Well well well It's hard to be an optimist in a pessimistic world you can never tell if the glass is half empty or if it is half full And it's hard to look on the bright side of things when the bright side is all dark and the dark side of things is the bright side of things depending on who you talk to It's perfectly normal to have your opinions vary from day to day and it's perfectly normal to take offense to what some people say but something abnormal that's because normal in our society It's a nasty disease, it's the bee's knees it's called hypocrisy Hypocrisy, hypocrisy let's go watch some MTV Conformity, conformity I won't let myself become a sheep Misery,misery I hide it all so gracefully Symmetry, symmetry I want someone to align with me

No Mystery 06:09
you didn't remember my birthday, or at least you didn't call. cause that would be easy, not much mystery at all. but then, that autumn night, you dropped me a line just to tell me, tell me i was on your mind. what were you thinking? i ask my self the same. what was i thinking? it's not the time to blame. not me or you for things we've both been through. cause i've learned now that if it's broken, i should replace it, and if it's not broken yet, i've gotta try, i've gotta try my best not to break it. i try to live in the moment, but i can't forget the past. just have to learn from it. these feelings never last. not in real-time or in memories, they fade and fade away as time gives us our character, as we progress with age. what were you thinking? i ask myself the same. what was i thinking? you may have never changed from the person i knew i knew, but i've learned now that if it's broken, i should replace it, and if it's not broken yet, i've gotta try, i've gotta try my best not to break it. and it turns out money makes the fountain of youth, while music makes a mountain of truth, and faith in friendship loses luster as hearts grow harder still i never was one to trust, but your patience broke my will and even though it pains me to admit i know you're right it's a life-long tunnel til we finally, finally, finally reach the light! who knows what we're thinking? they don't even know our names! you and me with arms linking, and who cares who's to blame? cause we've learned now, that if it's broken, we should replace it, and if it's not broken yet, we've gotta try, we've gotta try our best not to break it we've gotta hold our breath, and try our best not to break it!
