When you told me ‘bout your dreams That you wanna see the world t' was something you just had to do it's just a month or two you promised me I did the right thing, let you go I never could have guessed how miserable it made me Do you know what's on my mind letters, postcards telling me you would come home this fall you can't keep leading me on Expecting me to wait for you to decide to return Now you're halfway around the world Living day to day not knowing where you'll end up next It must be swell for you But I am back here stuck at home and all alone I wonder if you still miss what we had together Do you know what's on my mind Images of you and strange guys lining up for you Are you telling me the truth, or are you just waiting for me to snap and to break up My friends tell me I should let go To meet new chicks and just have fun I must admit they have a point guys, introduce me to this blonde I'm gonna take her home And do the things to her that you denied me Do you know what's on my mind all the girls I've taken home with me to forget you You can stay right where you are It's up to you I don't care anymore and I'm not sorry

Daddy Issues 02:56
I should have known right from the start when all my friends were saying just how cool you are You come back home late every evening, leave me guessing who the hell you've done The smell of cheap cologne and shame surrounds you your eyes are avoiding mine I kinda know what's going on, can't prove it be honest, or just get out I see the pictures on your wall the alcohol, the frat boys trying to get some You are too insecure to hold'em off Your daddy issues are too strong The smell of cheap cologne and shame surrounds you your eyes are avoiding mine I kinda know what's going on, can't prove it be honest, our just get out I might as well just break it off Then all my worries would be gone Somehow I can't because you're way too freakin' hot The smell of cheap cologne and shame surrounds you your eyes are avoiding mine I kinda know what's going on, can't prove it be honest, or just get out Yeah just get out And leave my sight Yeah just get out This is goodbye

Gone 03:09
Cold summer evening sitting on my front porch the same old tape keeps playing and the blanket barely covers us at all it's getting late now But I don't want to let this go cause Tomorrow you'll be gone Stay close to me until you have to go Don't fall asleep the sunset's wonderful Let's stay outside for one or two more songs Before I have to carry on alone A brand new morning The silence lingers on Your absence overwhelms me and Sometimes I think I hear you but I don't you're gone forever And then I think back of that evening of how we said goodbye Stay close to me until you have to go Don't fall asleep the sunset's wonderful Let's stay outside for one or two more songs Before I have to carry on alone And then I think back of that evening of how we said goodbye Stay close to me until you have to go Don't fall asleep the sunset's wonderful Let's stay outside for one or two more songs Before I have to carry on alone

Was at my parents’ house, went to the basement And what I found was surely nothing less than greatness A dusty VCR and all my 80's tapes Ghostbusters Goonies, Die Hard and the Terminator Get out my hat and whip and start the exploration Fast Times at Ridgemont High Ferris Bueller, come and pick me up I hate detention, but I really love the breakfast club Please don't feed me after midnight Don't call me Shirley Even nerds can get revenge and did you know that werewolves play basketball And now it sucks so hard that I'm all grown up I cannot call my friends to play my all-time favorite scenes of Back to the Future and ride my hoverboard Or use my feet to play songs on the toy stores' big piano And now it's time to come home from imaginationland But wait I shrunk the kids Ferris Bueller, come and pick me up I hate detention, but I really love the breakfast club Please don't feed me after midnight These 80's movies make me feel like everything's alright Ferris Bueller, come and pick me up I hate detention, but I really love the breakfast club Please don't feed me after midnight Don't call me Shirley

Cut The Ties 03:21
These streets where I used to belong have abandoned me lately I barely still recognize them Now the place I was born and raised faced so much Changes beyond what I can recall That's just the way it always goes But it still pains me Time to move on What I used to know is gone Precious to me once Unfamiliar now But it's alright a new chapter in my life waiting for me when I cut the ties Not too long ago I felt like I knew everyone out here But all my friends moved out And my favorite bars and shops have closed down only my memories Are all what I can count on The places where we used to hang How I miss those days Time to move on What I used to know is gone Precious to me once Unfamiliar now But it's alright a new chapter in my life waiting for me when I cut the ties Turn my head and leave all behind A nomad, no place where I don't feel confined Until I let go and accept my past washed away and no use giving in to history's call Let's burn this place down to the ground Find a new haven Time to move on What I used to know is gone Precious to me once Unfamiliar now But it's alright a new chapter in my life waiting for me when I cut the ties

Oblivious 03:36
So many times we used to try To break through this thick wall you hide behind Just to find an empty shell Of who you used to be We all have our precious memories Those times we will never forget But you can’t be anybody’s savior When you’re consumed by your own past Living in your world With a mind stuck on the same page Oblivious to those who need you here today When will it be you see what you have now You won’t be here until we’re gone Those countless days wasted in vain Reaching out, expecting anything Days of happiness and pain They all just fade away But now we need you more than ever And cry for help along the way You don’t see who cares about you Unless they live in yesterday Can’t count on us to pick you up Retrieve the things that you have lost Just understand See through the haze of days long lost And realized that you messed up I hope you will Living in your world With a mind stuck on the same page Oblivious to those who need you here today When will it be you see what you have now You won’t be here until we’re gone

When I was bored, out of the blue Decided to get a tattoo I picked up the phone manned up and made an appointment I didn’t know yet what to get The only image in my head A throbbing needle causing oh so many nightmares When the day had finally come I lost it and I froze! Ink’s for squids, but not for me Might be a pussy, but I know that Ink’s for squids, but not for me I learned my lesson, now I’m sure that Ink’s for squids, but not for me You might look cool, but I’m a tool I know where I went wrong, It’s not for me Know where I went wrong Entered the store and I sat down The guy he smiled and grabbed my arm He fetched his tools and I started to feel lightheaded Right after, passed out in the chair Before I could make myself clear And double-check if he had really understood me Then I woke up with a quote that spelled out “Pug for life” Ink’s for squids, but not for me Might be a pussy, but I know that Ink’s for squids, but not for me I learned my lesson, now I’m sure that Ink’s for squids, but not for me You might look cool, but I’m a tool I know where I went wrong, It’s not for me Know where I went wrong

Today I woke up with the strangest feeling I've ever known A deja-vue just like Majora's Mask or like Groundhog Day Relive the same moments over time and time again what would you do? Would you try and fix the mistakes you made yesterday Or keep the same routine Wake up, eat, work, sleep, repeat until the cycle starts over again Would you make the world a better place Would you let it all just waste away It is not easy to turn life around all of a sudden It takes a lot of courage to stand up and break the cycle Figure it out and experience a brand new day Before it's too late Would you try and fix the mistakes you made yesterday Or keep the same routine Wake up, eat, work, sleep, repeat until the cycle starts over again Would you try and fix the mistakes you made yesterday Or keep the same routine Wake up, eat, work, sleep, repeat until the cycle starts over again Would you make the world a better place Would you let it all just waste away

Take A Hike 03:14
We don’t care if it’s cold or windy Day or night, rain or shine all we want to do Is to firmly grasp two poles and Take a hike, here we go, here we go Skiing’s lame and walking’s boring Combine them both and you have pure awesomeness You can even do it when you’re hung-over Take a hike, here we go, here we go Be prepared we’re coming your way Nordic walking brightens up your day Join us now if you wanna belong Plant your sticks in the ground People laugh when they see us passing They’re jealous cause our buns are nice and tight From all the outdoor action we are getting Take a hike, here we go, here we go It’s the way to score chicks over fifty With matching tracksuits flapping in the wind And our fanny packs just get them going Take a hike, here we go here we go Be prepared, we’re coming your way Nordic walking brightens up your day Join us now if you wanna belong Plant your sticks in the ground For this kinda fun nobody's immune You can even practice in your living room It will make you forget all of your woes Take to the open road Take to the open road Hold your head high through mud, grass, dirt and snow we always will carry on Be prepared, we’re coming your way Nordic walking brightens up your day Join us now if you wanna belong Plant your sticks in the ground For this kinda fun nobody's immune You can even practice in your living room It will make you forget all of your woes Take to the open road

Beer Me Up 00:58
Are you thinking what I think That I need another drink Pour it now and pour it fast Make this wasted evening last I need a break so I'm going out to see a show Don't know who's playing, but I think that I don't wanna know Cause I don't wanna dance or get into the mosh pit Not gonna sing along when I am not into it Tonight I'm feeling like I'm way too old for this shit Let's head to the bar Are you thinking what I think That I need another drink Pour it now and pour it fast Make this wasted evening last

Two’s a company they say and three’s a crowd Well, I guess not because this is just how we roll 15 years and going strong never having second thoughts this bond is forged for life, that’s right No matter where we go Through shattered glass, land, sea or air We’re always there and have each other’s back Still after all these years Whoever we might lose or gain We know one thing, that we are bro’s for life More than now and then we meet to see what’s up play drinking games or just go out, who’s blacking out forget what happened yesterday Don’t care what other people say We don’t give a crap anyway Running for the cops Carrying the drunk Broke at the strip club Struck out, Ripped off We kept on going anyway Repeat mistakes Wouldn’t have it any other way And once again No matter where we go Through shattered glass, land, sea or air We’re always there and have each other’s back Still after all these years Whoever we might lose or gain We know one thing, that we are bro’s for life

Never do today what you can do tomorrow or next week And when you accidentally knock up your girl Go out for cigarettes Run like hell from responsibility Or it will catch up to you and bite you in the ass Live carefree for as long as you can Miss your deadlines and fake that you’re sick and let somebody else deal with the mess Don’t learn to drive no one can ask If you can pick them up Enough ambitious people to carry the weight And do what’s right while you are sleeping through the day Let them decide what’s happening around the world It’s not your problem Don’t even frown Let people down Do what you want Only look out for number one And you’ll be fine Run like hell from responsibility Or it will catch up to you and bite you in the ass Live carefree for as long as you can And enjoy your freedom
