A Day to Remember

I'll live my life alone!

You won't find me in the same spot
Believe me I could never stop
My life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks
I'm leaving and not coming back
You're right and I was wrong
This town will be the downfall of us all

I'm gonna need you to try to follow along.
I did the best that I could to try and write you songs.
Now go tell them we sold out, like we're the ones who changed.
I write what I feel, I say what I mean.
You can't buy sincerity.

(Whoa uh oh, whoa uh oh)
I sold my soul to the open road
I'll live my life alone!

You won't find me in the same spot
Believe me I could never stop
My life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks
I'm leaving and not coming back
You're right and I was wrong
This town will be the downfall of us all

Don't forget yourselves
We made up our minds
And we signed 3! 4! 5! on that dotted line!
Don't forget yourselves
We made up our minds
And we signed 3! 4! 5! on that dotted line!

You won't find me in the same spot
Believe me I could never stop
My life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks
I'm leaving and not coming back
You're right and I was wrong

You won't find me in the same spot (You were right and I was wrong)
Believe me I could never stop (You point the blame we'll take the fall)
My life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks (You were right and I was wrong)
I'm leaving and not coming back (You point the blame we'll take the fall)
You're right and I was wrong
This town will be the downfall of us all
This town will be the downfall of us all

Downfall of us all!
Downfall of us all!
Downfall of us all!
Downfall of us all!


2. "My Life For Hire"

Somebody give me a sign,
That everything's going as planned,
And then everything falls away,
Into the darkness of this shallow place.
The detail is striking,
The room's cold and frightening,
You'll kick and you'll scream,
You'll try everything to survive,
But you should know your fate by now.

They told me (they told me)
How I should be,
But I broke the mold somehow!

It's too late, too late.
You keep trying to resolve the past right now,
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done to me.

You, you know you gotta assert yourself,
Leave what you need for now,
It's not the time or place you're searching for.
All I can give them's my worst of intentions.
You're nothing to me and everyone can see that
Your life's a lie, there's nowhere left to hide.

They told me (they told me)
How I should be,
But I broke the mold somehow!

It's too late, too late.
You keep trying to resolve the past right now,
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done

It's too late, too late.
You keep trying to resolve the past right now,
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done

Watch your back, you'll lose yourself!
This is a battleground!
When will they know,

Your life's a lie.

It's too late, too late.
You keep trying to resolve the past right now,
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done

It's too late, too late.
You keep trying to resolve the past right now,
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done

They told me (they told me)
How I should be,
But I broke the mold somehow!


3. "I'm Made Of Wax, Larry, What Are You Made Of?"

Don't blink they won't even miss you at all,
And don't think that I'll always be gone,
You know I've got you like a puppet in the palm of my hand,
Don't you let me down!

So run like hell,
Sleep with one eye open,
I can't forgive or forget you
We'll tell everyone the damage done,
Deep down you can't stop me
You can't stop me now.

I’ll be there just to watch you fall,
So don’t push me, I've got nothing to lose.

Don’t blink, they wont even miss you at all,
And don’t think that I’ll always be gone,
You know I’ve got you like a puppet in the palm of my hand,
Don’t you let me down.

{Oops,} there I go again,
I made it so damn hard to come back from the mess that you're in
I need you to know, I told you so.
You're a snake and I'm cautious
Just use your head.

I’ll be there just to watch you fall,
so don’t push me, I've got nothing to lose.

Don’t blink, they wont even miss you at all,
And don’t think that I’ll always be gone,
You know I’ve got you like a puppet in the palm of my hand,
Don’t you let me down.

Come on
Ooooooohhhhhh!

*Cough* *Cough*

Everybody's out to get me.
Any moment could be my last.
This is me, you can take it or leave.
Right or wrong
I will stand on my own two feet.
Just breathe.
Just breathe.

Don’t blink, they wont even miss you at all,
And don’t think that I’ll always be gone,
You know I’ve got you like a puppet in the palm of my hand,
Don’t you let me down.

Don’t blink, they wont even miss you at all,
And don’t think that I’ll always be gone,
You know I’ve got you like a puppet in the palm of my hand,
Don’t you let me down.

Oh!


4. "NJ Legion Iced Tea"

Get up, get out,
This is your wake up call,
We run this town and you can't fight us all,
We keep 'em coming back for more,
Don't think you can hold us down,
We'll tear this building down,
Try to be careful what you say

Give it up, your tact is astounding,
Find your place and leave us with some peace of mind,
You do this every time

So here's to another banner year,
We've crossed that thin line,
Don't try to hold us here,
If for just this once you'd think of us,
I hope you're happy with yourself

Get up, get out,
Who's gonna break your fall,
When we don't back down, you're gonna seem so small,
We keep 'em running for the door,
Just wait, things will come back around,
It's too late for them, they're headed straight for a melt down,
I'm not a part of your cliché,

Give it up, your tact is astounding,
Find your place and leave us with some peace of mind,
You do this every time

So here's to another banner year,
We've crossed that thin line,
Don't try to hold us here,
If for just this once you'd think of us,
I hope you're happy with yourself
[x2]

Just think about, just think about everything,
Be careful now, be careful what you say,
While I'm away.

This is the life we chose,
This is the life I lead,
They can never take this from me
[x2]

So here's to another banner year,
We've crossed that thin line,
Don't try to hold us here,
If for just this once you'd think of us,
I hope you're happy with yourself
[x2]

So here's to another banner year,
I hope you're happy with yourself


5. "Mr. Highway's Thinking About The End"

Wake up!

Oh how the times have changed
You're not the person I knew back then
Let's get this straight
This is a calling
When will they stop falling for this?
You lack all inspiration

We're not the same
I'll do whatever it takes
To get it through to you
We'll call this a day
We're not the same
You are worthless
Stay in your place

It's like speaking in tongues
To all of you now
When will we ever (when will we ever) get what we deserve?
How long until the tables turn?
When will we ever (when will we ever) get what we deserve?

I've created a monster
You bring out a side of me that no one should see
So quit stalling, pack your bags
Keep walking away
Your life leads to destruction

We are not the same
I've struggled too long to sit back
And let you take this from me
We are not the same
I have given everything

It's like speaking in tongues
To all of you now
When will we ever (when will we ever) get what we deserve?
How long until the tables turn?
When will we ever (when will we ever) get what we deserve?
(Get what we deserve) Get what we deserve
Get what we deserve

Disrespect your surroundings

You won't make it out alive
You won't make it out alive
You won't make it out alive
You won't make it out alive

It's like speaking in tongues
To all of you now
When will we ever (when will we ever) get what we deserve?
How long until the tables turn?
When will we ever (when will we ever) get what we deserve?

When will we ever get what we deserve?
When will we ever get what we deserve?


6. "Have Faith In Me"

Have faith in me
Cause there are things that I've seen I don't believe
So cling to what you know and never let go
You should know things aren't always what they seem

I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it
If you didn't have this chance then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again

I'm going crazy
Cause there are things in the streets I don't believe
So we'll pretend it's alright (pretend it's alright)
and stay in for the night
Oh what a world
I'll keep you safe here with me (with me)

I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it
If you didn't have this chance then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again

I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it
If you didn't have this chance then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again

They've got me on the outside, looking in
But I can't see at all
With the weight of the world on my shoulders,
They just wanna see me fall

They've got me on the outside, looking in
But I can't see at all
With the weight of the world on my shoulders,
They just wanna see me fall

Have faith in me

I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it
If you didn't have this chance then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again

I said I'd never let you go, and I never did (Go, Did)
I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it (Fall, Meant It)
If you didn't have this chance then I never did
You'll always find me right there, again

I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did
I said I'd never let you go, and I never did


7. "Welcome To The Family"

We're finally alone at last
Oh how I've waited for this day to come
There's just something about you that rubs me wrong
You're not worth my attention
I built this with my own two hands
If you could spare me the time
Stop using me as your next misconception

I don't believe that everything
you've known about me is gone forever
And I won't forget the days
that we spent forever, it haunts me

I don't believe that everything
you've known about me is gone forever
And I won't forget the days
that we spent forever, it haunts me

It won't be long before you meet your end
You're nothing more than a passing trend
So keep those cameras rolling
You think I wouldn't remember?
You thought that I would lose faith in myself
You can spare me the lies
You don't believe in me
Your life's a contradiction

I don't believe that everything
you've known about me is gone forever
And I won't forget the days
that we spent forever, it haunts me

I don't believe that everything
you've known about me is gone forever
And I won't forget the days
that we spent forever, it haunts me

We draw the line at being in your life
Here's to the man of the hour
We'll cast out problems aside
Cheers to your future, may they bury you alive

Move!

I don't believe that everything
you've known about me is gone forever
And I won't forget the days
that we spent forever, it haunts me

I don't believe that everything
you've known about me is gone forever
And I won't forget the days
that we spent forever, it haunts me


8. "Homesick"

Everything around me seems so much different than where I'm from
And at this rate I think my fate's been sealed
This life's so unpredictable
We'll go continue to live a life that no one knows
Where's this gonna go?

Right here, right now
This is the beginning of the end
And I won't sing one single thing until we can get this right
I'm moving on
I'm moving on

Hey mom, I wrote you some soft songs
And tell dad I'm just fine
We had to choose
We made our moves
And now we got to go, go

Everything about me seemed so much different when I was young
I couldn't wait to take my place
Five years have passed
Good god have I been gone?
So why, I've never felt so alone in my whole life
Times not on my side

Right here, right now
This is the beginning of the end
And I won't sing a single thing until we can get this right
I'm moving on
I'm moving on

Hey mom, I wrote you some soft songs
And tell dad I'm just fine
We had to choose
We made our moves
And now we got to go

And why's this make me so nervous?
Why does everything go wrong?
Why's this make me so nervous?
Why does everything go wrong?

I'm holding on to a fairytale
We're moving forward but we're not there yet
I'm holding on to a fairytale
We're moving forward
we're moving forward

I'm holding on to a fairytale
We're moving forward but we're not there yet
I'm holding on to a fairytale
We're moving forward, we're moving forward

Hey mom, I wrote you some soft songs
And tell dad I'm just fine
We had to choose
We made our moves
And now we got to go

And why's this make me so nervous?
(You make me so, you make me so)
Why does everything go wrong?
Why's this make me so nervous?
(You make me so, you make me so)
Why does everything go wrong?


9. "Holdin' It Down For The Underground"

Been through a lot in the last year
It's like everything I love is slipping away
And every time I come home
Some more of me isn't there
I gotta get it together
I need to do things for myself
I've given everything
But still you take more from me
I need some room to breathe

Come on, come on
You know this isn't what we planned on
(You know this isn't what we planned)
Come on, come on
Tell me we'll be okay
(We'll be okay!)
Lets go back, lets go back
To a time where I still felt I had a family

This isn't what I remember
Everyone's looking out for just themselves
If need be I'll be happy to leave
Just be warned, I'll be taking most of you with me
I see straight through
That smile straight through
That painted face
Don't think that I can't tell
Which one of you is against me

Come on, come on
You know this isn't what we planned on
(You know this isn't what we planned)
Come on, come on
Tell me we'll be okay
(We'll be okay!)
Lets go back, lets go back
To a time where I still felt I had a family

I had the greatest faith in fools,
I turned my back and out came the wolves

PAY ATTENTION!

Come on, come on
You know this isn't what we planned on
(You know this isn't what we planned)
Come on, come on
Tell me we'll be okay
(We'll be okay!)
Lets go back, lets go back
To a time where I still felt I had a family

Been through a lot in the last year
It's like everything I love is slipping away


10. "You Already Know What You Are"

They used to tell me:
You got to choose a side
Now it's four years later,
And they beg for advice.
Don't trust the critic he's a cynic
Make the call for yourself
This is my 10-step course to not be like everyone else

I know it's not the easiest route,
And I know
It leaves you overflowing with doubt
But if you want it you can have it
Hope it's all that you dreamt
Cause once you got it your gonna get it
You wont be leaving this

You can't trust everyone you meet
They won't amount to anything
Go tell them
Go tell them it's not as simple as you think
You can't trust everyone you meet
They never meant that much to me
Go tell them
Go tell them it's not as simple as you think

Clenched fists held above me
You will never bring me to my knees
I said clenched fists held above me
You will never bring me to my knees
You'll get what you deserve


11. "Another Song About The Weekend"

They keep playing sad songs on the radio
And I feel like I'm so alone
On this 15-hour drive
And all the while I tell myself to just believe
Cause nobody can give so much
And never get anything
(never get anything)

Everyone I used to know
Says they don't know what I've become
But I'm still the same
Not much has changed
I still know where I came from

I fell asleep with the lights on
And I can see that you’re the first one in a long time
That had some faith in me
(have faith in me)
Tell my friends we won’t be long
The Florida sun begs me to come back home
And it feels like I'm ready for anything
If you can wait for me

And all the while I say too much of what I think
And I can't remember what it's like to find meaning in anything
For the life of me
Everyone I used to know
Says they don't know what I've become
But I'm still the same
Not much has changed
I still know where I came from

And all I ever wanted was so far from what I need
I'll write my songs, they'll sing along, and hope time heals everything

I fell asleep with the lights on
And I can see that you’re the first one in a long time
That had some faith in me
(have faith in me)
Tell my friends we won’t be long
The Florida sun begs me to come back home
It feels like I'm ready for anything
If you can wait for me

This is all I have!
This is all I have!
It's my life
This is all I have!
This is all I have!

I fell asleep with the lights on
And I can see that you’re the first one in a long time
That had some faith in me
(have faith in me)
Tell my friends we won’t be long
The Florida sun begs me to come back home
It feels like I'm ready for anything
If you can wait for me

I fell asleep with the lights on
And I can see that you’re the first one in a long time
That had some faith in me
(have faith in me)
Tell my friends we won’t be long
The Florida sun begs me to come back home
It feels like I'm ready for anything
If you can wait for me


12. "If It Means A Lot To You"

And hey darling,
I hope you're good tonight.
And I know you don't feel right when I'm leaving.
Yeah, I want it but no, I don't need it.
Tell me something sweet to get me by,
'Cause I can't come back home till they're singing

La, la la la, la la la,
Till everyone is singing

If you can wait till I get home,
Then I swear to you that we can make this last.
(La la la)
If you can wait till I get home,
Then I swear come tomorrow, this will all be in our past.
Well it might be for the best.

And hey sweetie,
Well I need you here tonight,
And I know that you don't wanna be leaving me
Yeah, you want it, but I can't help it.
I just feel complete when you're by my side,
But I know you can't come home till they're singing

La, la la la, la la la,
Till everyone is singing.
La, la la la, la la la.

If you can wait till I get home,
Then I swear to you that we can make this last.
(La la la)
If you can wait till I get home,
Then I swear come tomorrow, this will all be in our past.
Well it might be for the best.

You know you can't give me what I need.
And even though you mean so much to me,
I can't wait through everything,
Is this really happening?
I swear I'll never be happy again.
And don't you dare say we can just be friends.
I'm not some boy that you can sway.
We knew it'd happen eventually.

La, la la la, la la la,
Now everybody's singing.
La, la la la, la la la,
Now everybody's singing.
La, la la la, la la la,
(If you can wait till I get home)
Now everybody's singing.
La, la la la, la la la,
(Then I swear we can make this last)
Now everybody's singing.

La, la la la, la la la,
(If you can wait till I get home)
Now everybody's singing.
La, la la la, la la la,
(Then I swear we can make this last)
Now everybody's singing.
La
