If I could have my way, each and every single day the world would smile bright and I'd be with you tonight and we could do, the things we want to.
I would [hold on] take you by the hand
and we'd [hold on] and dance and dance
and when i [hold on] held you near
youd say, "[Hold on] baby don't you fear
'cause we'll get by doing the things we want to."

Well, dont tell me I shoulda been born in '65
I couldnt wait that long to feel alive right now
'Cuz I'm having such a good time singign with my friends
and I wish this night would never ever end.
Yeah, someone always told me that the grass would be greener on the other side and I think I finally found out what that meant
So I'm gonna take my grass and go have me a good time, and if youre with me then I guess I'll see ya on the other side.
Yeah, walk into the house like I'm the life of the party
See everyone in there calling out my name
I'm shaking hands with all the people that I know
yet, somehow it feels like I never ever done it before.
And I swear I'm not the one that has changed, it's just the rules of this game are not the same
So, hit me with a drink I wanna feel like Superman
Yeah, hit me with a drink 'cuz I feel just like I can.

She said, "What happened when you went out with your friends?"
I said, "Oh baby, you know the things we like to do on the weekend."
"Whatever happened to you and me?" I said
You'd ask politely to hold my hand and rub your fingers through my hair.
I'd tell you, "How pretty you look tonight with your summer dress." and then I'd stare.
I remember that look, those bedroom eyes, and the taste of your skin.
But, i think maybe someday I'll find love...I guess we'll see.

Life's a Peach

"All I write is melodramatic songs." he says as he pushes his way on through to the bathroom stall and right in front of him written up on the wall, "We walk a thin line." Better hope that we don't fall.
Life is what you make of it
You can eat a peach and never find the pit
I'll write a note on a bathroom wall
take a shot and start another brawl
Life is what you do with it
Your just a horse that's chompin' at the bit
I'll take a guess at the look in your eyes
bitter disgust with a dash of surprise
"I cant stand this weather at all." he says as he makes his way on through to the barstool. He orders a drink and takes it down real fast. Has four more and continues to sit on his ass
Life is what you make of it
You can eat a peach and never find the pit
I'll write a note on a bathroom wall
take a shot and start another brawl
Life is what you do with it
Your just a horse that's chompin' at the bit
I'll take a guess at the look in your eyes
bitter disgust with a shot of surprise

Well, I don't mind it when it rains
I don't hate it when it pours down cats and dogs
You know, a rainy day can offer up some real perspective
When you don't have to squint or hide from the sun.
Well, what'll happen when I call?
Will she hang up and let me chat with the dial tone?
Or will she let me hear what I've wanted to hear?
That my thoughts aren't had alone.
Now, what'd you think I'd find?
Walk into your backyard filled with pain and doubt
Now why'd you go and do something dumb like that?
Why'd you go and break our hearts?
I know it seems like there ain't shit
and your stuck in the middle of it
but don't you know that under those deceptive waves,
there's a world that's full of questions that awaits.
***
Well, I know one way that you're sure to sleep alone tonight.

God Charges Rent

Insecurity's a part of every living thing.
You hate the way your father looks?
Well, I hate the way that I sing.
False Regret and empathy, well, they go hand in hand.
What's the state of our being now when even God charges rent?
What's for real and what's for fake? We'll never really ask.
We work too hard and pay too much to care about petty things like that.
Love and Life and Lust in Love, they never really match. A Lust for Life and a Lust for Love, now that's a better catch.
Instability's a part of every living thing.
John and George both lost their heads, but Paul and Ringo still ain't dead.
I got a splinter in my thumb when I was walking drunk.
John made a real fool of us passed out on the lawn.
I don't regret, don't emphasize...you know these words are false.
Double negativity doesn't always end in a plus.
My insecurity and my instability, how can they be such bad things if that's what makes me, me?
