When the slow parade went past
When it felt so good you knew it couldn't last
And all too soon the end was gonna come without a warning
And you'd have to just go home
And the way it all went by
And somebody said "come on its getting late"
And you thought the world might end if you just looked the other way
And now you wish that you had stayed
And there's so much more that you could see if you just stick around
And all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out
Oh no
There's so much more that you need to work out
Oh no
You don't want that parade to leave you now
And the days are all the same
And the town so big and no one knows your name
And the people fade away
And all stars are just a flicker
And you're left there all alone
When there's so much more that you could see if you just stick around
And all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out
Oh no
There's so much more that you need to work out
Oh no
You don't want that parade to leave you now
When the music's over
But the song stays in your head
Oh no
There's so much more that you need to work out
Oh no
You don't want that parade to leave you now
Yeah
There's so much more that you need to work out
Yeah
You don't want that parade to leave you now

Shes So Mean
I kn-kn-know a girl, she gets what she wants all the time
'Cause she's fine
But for an angel, she's a hot hot mess
Make you so blind
But you don't mind
'Cause she's an uptown, get-around, anything-goes girl, girl
She's a hardcore, candy-store, gimme-some-more girl, girl
She'll make you take her to the club, but then she leaves with her friends
She likes to stay late at the party, 'cause the fun never ends
And all her clothes are on the floor and all your records are scratched
She's like a one-way ticket 'cause you can't come back!
[Chorus:]
Saying yeah... you want her, but she's so mean
(You'll never let her go. Why don't you let her go?)
Yeah... you want her, but she's so mean
(You'll never let her go. Why don't you let her go?)
You kn-kn-know that if you don't shut your mouth, she'll freak out
You better get your shit together, 'cause she's bringing you down now
Yeah boy you better, you better
'Cause she's an uptown, get-around, anything-goes girl, girl
She's a hardcore, candy-store, gimme-some-more girl, girl
She's got her wicked sense of humor, can't believe what she says
She drinks Bacardi in the morning 'til it goes to her head
And all you want is just to hold her, but she don't go for that
She has a hard time coming when she can't hit back
[Chorus]
Every now and then, she makes you just a little bit crazy
She'll turn a knife into your back and then she's calling you baby, crazy
She'll make you take her to the club, but then she leaves with her friends
She likes to stay late at the party, 'cause the fun never ends
And all her clothes are on the floor and all your records are scratched
She's like a one-way ticket 'cause you can't come back!
[Chorus x2]
'Cause she's fine
But for an angel, she's a hot hot mess
Make you so blind
But you don't mind
'Cause she's an uptown, get-around, anything-goes girl, girl
She's a hardcore, candy-store, gimme-some-more girl, girl
She'll make you take her to the club, but then she leaves with her friends
She likes to stay late at the party, 'cause the fun never ends
And all her clothes are on the floor and all your records are scratched
She's like a one-way ticket 'cause you can't come back!
[Chorus:]
Saying yeah... you want her, but she's so mean
(You'll never let her go. Why don't you let her go?)
Yeah... you want her, but she's so mean
(You'll never let her go. Why don't you let her go?)
You kn-kn-know that if you don't shut your mouth, she'll freak out
You better get your shit together, 'cause she's bringing you down now
Yeah boy you better, you better
'Cause she's an uptown, get-around, anything-goes girl, girl
She's a hardcore, candy-store, gimme-some-more girl, girl
She's got her wicked sense of humor, can't believe what she says
She drinks Bacardi in the morning 'til it goes to her head

Overjoyed
Feeling my hands start shaking
Hearing your voice I'm overjoyed
I'm sorry but i have no choice
You're only getting better

Our Song
I don't know why sometimes we seem so far apart
Sown together with a broken heart
I try to see you but it's getting dark
Words keep flowing out I wonder what they mean
You're like a little piece of kerosene
But girl you've always been a friend to me
And I been too proud sometimes
Chasin' fault lines
Oh no
I'm gonna be there always
After the pain has gone away
The feeling is so strong
This can be our song
This can be our song
Oh no
I'll never make you cry again
I'm gonna set things right again
And I won't let 'em go wrong
This can be our song
This can be our song
I don't know if someone else could handle me
I don't know what i'm suppose to be
You're the only one who really sees
You get me
I feel something growing deep inside of me
What I say and what I mean
Always seems to disagree
So help me through this hard time
Change these fault line
Oh no
I'm gonna be there always
After the pain has gone away
The feeling is so strong
This can be our song
This can be our song
Oh no
I'll never make you cry again
I'm gonna set things right again
And I won't let 'em go wrong

I Will
Tonight
Looking back on all this life
It's funny how the time goes by
And how, sometimes
It slides away
Time
Sliding through the dead of night
Shaking 'till you start to cry
Your eyes won't dry
Till light of day
And sleep away
Don't let it go
Don't let it fade
Your dreams may cave
And falling apart
It's the only way
We go so low
When you don't know
I will
...
I will
If you go
Take a little piece of me
Hang it by the place you sleep
And dream of me
Don't leave
Just sleep away
Don't let it go
Don't let it fade
Your dreams may cave
And falling apart
It's the only way
We go so low
When you don't know
I will
We go so low
When you don't know
I will
...
I will
Tonight
Looking back on all this life
It's funny how the time goes by
And how, sometimes
It's slides away
Looking back on all this life
It's funny how the time goes by
And how, sometimes
It slides away
Time
Sliding through the dead of night
Shaking 'till you start to cry
Your eyes won't dry
Till light of day
And sleep away
Don't let it go
Don't let it fade
Your dreams may cave
And falling apart
It's the only way
We go so low
When you don't know

Take a little piece of me
Hang it by the place you sleep
And dream of me

Don't let it go
Don't let it fade

And falling apart

English Town
Come inside
The air I breathe
While the band still plays
It's the end of the coldest week
Come down into the sea
Cause everybody wants to get away sometimes
And everybody needs mistakes
When the sun breaks
Over the edge of an English town
It pulls me away
From a bad dream
I don't know why
But I know I'm not
Ever going back
In the dark we can lose our sleep
We can both be kind
Cause I don't need the pulling apart of sheets
Just to know who you are
When everybody wants to get away from something
Everybody lose their way
When the sun breaks
Over the edge of an English town
It pulls me away
From a bad dream
I don't know why
But I know I'm not
Ever going back
It's a non stop voice
That can lead you on
But cannot change it
When the sun breaks
Over the edge of an English town
When the sun breaks
Over the edge of an English town
When the sun breaks
Over the edge of an English town
la-la-la-la-la
la-la-la-la-la
la-la-la-la-la-la
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
The air I breathe

So many times with you and I,
Thought it was right but I was wrong,

Without a sense of something real,

Radio
Outside America
Everybody's just waking up
Drinking coffee from a paper cup
To the sound of the radio
And there's a broke town girl
In the parking lot
Shaking off her dress with everything she's got
Last night she started dancing and she couldn't stop
Daylight came and it broke her heart
She's been up all night
Dream so big
In a town where dreams don't bit
Come on now people it's all we got
We feel it in our hearts for sure
Like a song that's been playing for all our lives
We know it's right
We heard it on the radio
Outside America
There's a boy and there's a girl he loves
But he never really gave enough
So she couldn't take no more
She said she couldn't stay oh-oh
She had to walk away
Cause she's never gonna get it
Never gonna get it
And she's never gonna live that way
He says "Oh my God, I feel like hell"
Come on now people it's all we got
We feel it in our hearts for sure
Like a song that's been playing for all our lives
We know it's right
We heard it on the radio
And its all these moments that
Start all the fires that
Make all these moments burn bright
So how can all this be right
Come on now people it's all we got
I feel it in my hearts for sure
Like a song that's been playing for all our lives
We know it's right
We heard it on the radio
Oh-oh
We know it's right
Cause we heard it on the radio
We know it's right
We heard it on the radio

The Way
All I see
Lying there in front of me
Maybe we were here before
I just didn't wanna believe
But in all that time we never talked
You wrote it down so I couldn't ignore it
This is the way you want it to be
This is the way you want it to be
Oh, this is the way you want it to be
Guess you don't want me
We had love
Always thought it would be enough
Oh, but then it goes away
But I don't really wanna give up
It feels like hell to let you walk
Bet it all down but I couldn't afford it
This is the way you want it to be
This is the way you want it to be
Oh, this is the way you want it to be
Guess you don't want me
And I never really said it before
But I really should have given you so much more
But this is the way you want it to be
This is the way you want it to be
Oh, this is the way you want it to be
Guess you don't want me
Guess you don't want me
No
Guess you don't want me
Yeah, you don't want
Guess you don't want
Me
Lying there in front of me
Maybe we were here before
I just didn't wanna believe

Like Sugar
I'm walking behind you
Calling the way you
Give away all your secrets
You're taking the high road
And picking your battles
Just the day I found you
I just want to make you go away
But you taste like sugar
Yeah you taste like sugar
I just want to make you go away
But you taste like sugar
Yeah you taste like sugar
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm starting to want you
More than I want to
This ain't my finest hour
There's something about you
That I could get in to
Something that's deep inside you
I just want to make you go away
But you taste like sugar
Yeah you taste like sugar
I just want to make you go away
But you taste like sugar
Girl, you taste like sugar
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
If I turn away, away
I'll come back someday
Cause I just want to make you go away
But you taste like sugar
Yeah you taste like sugar
I just want to make you go away
But you taste like sugar
Yeah, you taste like sugar
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh

Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
(Like sugar)
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
(Like sugar)
Calling the way you
Give away all your secrets
You're taking the high road
And picking your battles
Just the day I found you
I just want to make you go away
But you taste like sugar
Yeah you taste like sugar
I just want to make you go away
But you taste like sugar
Yeah you taste like sugar
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm starting to want you
More than I want to
This ain't my finest hour
There's something about you
That I could get in to
Something that's deep inside you
I just want to make you go away
But you taste like sugar
Yeah you taste like sugar
I just want to make you go away
But you taste like sugar
Girl, you taste like sugar
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
If I turn away, away
I'll come back someday
Cause I just want to make you go away
But you taste like sugar
Yeah you taste like sugar
I just want to make you go away
But you taste like sugar
Yeah, you taste like sugar
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
(Yeah, like sugar)
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
(Like sugar)
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
(Like sugar)

Sleeping At The Wheel
I, I could be anything
But for the fault that I've acquired on my way
We, We were the end of it
But now we see the sun shining in our face
We see the sun shining in our face
So come on, come on we can be saved
The lives we live, the wars we wage
When everyone just tells us how to feel
We're sleeping at the wheel
And I, I would give anything
But for the grace of God I'm here and still aware
We know the end is overrated
We've became the walls we raise
We don't believe enough but we still cared
Standing on the edge without a prayer
So come on, come on it's all we got
Our hands are full, our lives are not
The loose affiliation with the real
We're sleeping at the wheel
All of the time we've lost
All of the love we gave
And now these hands are tied
I can't help thinking
That I was in a daze, I was losing my place
I was screaming out at everything
Waiting for the walls to come down
Before my moments starts of fade
But everything that's perfect falls away
So come on, come on we can be saved
The lives we live, the wars we wage
When everyone just tells us how to feel
We're sleeping at the wheel
We're sleeping at the wheel
Just sleeping at the wheel
But for the fault that I've acquired on my way
We, We were the end of it
But now we see the sun shining in our face
We see the sun shining in our face
So come on, come on we can be saved
The lives we live, the wars we wage
When everyone just tells us how to feel
We're sleeping at the wheel
And I, I would give anything
But for the grace of God I'm here and still aware
We know the end is overrated
We've became the walls we raise
We don't believe enough but we still cared
Standing on the edge without a prayer
So come on, come on it's all we got
Our hands are full, our lives are not
The loose affiliation with the real
We're sleeping at the wheel
All of the time we've lost
All of the love we gave
And now these hands are tied
I can't help thinking
That I was in a daze, I was losing my place
I was screaming out at everything
Waiting for the walls to come down
Before my moments starts of fade
But everything that's perfect falls away
So come on, come on we can be saved
The lives we live, the wars we wage
When everyone just tells us how to feel
We're sleeping at the wheel
We're sleeping at the wheel
Just sleeping at the wheel
