Losing Grip

Are you aware of what you make me feel baby
Right now I feel invisible to you like I'm not real
Didn't you feel me lock my arms around you
Why'd you turn away here's what I have to say
I was left to cry there
Waiting outside there
Grinning with a lost stare
That's when I decided...

Why should I care
Cause you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone
You, you need to listen
I'm starting to trip I'm losing my grip and I'm in this thing alone

Am I just some chick you place beside you to take somebody's place
When you turn around can you recognize my face
You used to love me you used to hug me
But that wasn't the case everything wasn't okay

I was left to cry there
Waiting outside there
Grinning with a lost stare
That's when I decided...

Why should I care
Cause you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone
You, you need to listen
I'm starting to trip I'm losing my grip and I'm in this thing alone

Cryin' out loud I'm cryin out loud
Cryin' out loud I'm cryin out loud
Open your eyes
Open up wide

Why should I care
Cause you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone

Why should I care
Cause you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone
Why should I care
If you don't care then I don't care we're not going anywhere

Why should I care
Cause you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone
Why should I care
If you don't care then I don't care we're not going anywhere

Complicated

Uh huh, life's like this
Uh huh uh huh, that's the way it is
Cause life's like this
Uh huh uh huh, that's the way it is

Chill out, whatcha yelling for
Lay back its all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see

I like you the way you are
When we're driving in your car
And you're talking to me one on one
But you become

Somebody else round everyone else
You're watching your back
Like you can't relax
You're trying to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me...

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated
I see the way you're
Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you

You fall and you crawl
And you break and you take
What you get and you turn it into
Honesty promise me I'm never gonna find ya fake it

No no no...

You come over unannounced
Dressed up like you're something else
Where you are ain't where it's at
You see, you're making me

Laugh out when you strike your pose
Take off all your preppy clothes!
You know you're not fooling anyone
When you become

Somebody else round everyone else
You're watchin' your back
Like you can't relax
You're tryin to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me...

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated
I see the way you're
Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you

You fall and you crawl
And you break and you take
What you get and you turn it into
Honesty promise me I'm never gonna find ya fake it

No no no...

Chill out whatcha yellin' for
Lay back its all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see

Somebody else round everyone else
You're watching your back
Like you can't relax
You're tryin to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me!

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated
I see the way you're
Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you

You fall and you crawl
And you break and you take
What you get and you turn it into
Honesty promise me I'm never gonna find ya fake it

No no no...

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated
Yeah yeah, I see the way you're
Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you

You fall and you crawl
And you break and you take
What you get and you turn it into
Honesty promise me I'm never gonna find ya fake it

No no no...

Sk8er Boi

He was a boi, she was a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious
He was a punk, she did ballet
What more can I say
He wanted her, she'd never tell
Secretly she wanted him as well
But all of their friends stuck up their nose
And they had a problem with his baggy clothes

He was a sk8er boi, she said see you later boi
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face, but her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to "earth"

5 years from now, she sits at home
Feeding the baby she's all alone
She turns on TV, guess who she sees
Sk8er boi rockin' up MTV

She calls up her friends, they already know
And they've all got tickets to see his show
She tags along, and stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turn down

He was a sk8er boi, she said see you later boi
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a superstar, slammin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth

He was a sk8er boi, she said see you later boi
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a superstar, slammin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth

Sorry girl but you missed out
Well tough luck that boy's mine now
We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends

Too bad that you couldn't see
See the man that boi could be
There is more than meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside

He's just a boi, and I'm just a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious
We are in love, haven't you heard
How we rock each other's world

I'm with the skater boy
I said see you later boy
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at the studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know

I'm with the skater boy
I said see you later boy
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at the studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know...

I'm with you

I'm standing on the bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound
Isn't anyone trying to find me
Won't somebody come take me home

It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are but I
I'm with you
I'm with you

I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here I know
Cause nothing's going right
And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone

Isn't anyone trying to find me
Won't somebody come take me home

It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are but I
I'm with you
I'm with you
Yeah yeah...

Oh, why is everything so confusing
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are but I
I'm with you
I'm with you

Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are but I
I'm with you
I'm with you

Mobile

Went back home again
This sucks gotta pack up and leave again
Say goodbye to all my friends
Can't say when I'll be there again
It's time now to turn around
Turn my back on everything
Turn my back on everything

Everything's changing when I turn around
All out of my control I'm a mobile
Everything's changing when I turn around
All out of my control I'm a mobile

Start back at this life
Stretch myself back into the vibe
I'm wakin' up to say I've tried
Instead of waking up to another TV Guide

It's time now to turn around
Turn and walk on this crazy ground

Everything's changing when I turn around
All out of my control I'm a mobile
Everything's changing out of what I know
Everywhere I go I'm a mobile, I'm a mobile

Hanging from the ceiling
Life's a mobile
Spinning around with mixed feelings
Crazy and wild
Sometimes I wanna SCREAM out loud

Everything's changing everywhere I go
All out of my control
Everything's changing everywhere I go
Out of what I know, yeah yeah yeah

La la la la la...

Everything's changing when I turn around
All out of my control I'm a mobile
Everything's changing out of what I know
Everywhere I go I'm a mobile

Everywhere I go I'm a mobile

Unwanted

All they did was walk over
Start off by shaking your hands
That's how it went
I had a smile on my face and I sat up straight
Oh ya ya
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you

You don't know me, don't ignore me
You don't want me there you just shut me out
You don't know me, don't ignore me
If you had your way you'd just shut me out
Make me go away

(I'm so unwanted)

No I just don't understand
Why you won't talk to me
It hurts I'm so unwanted from nothing
Don't talk words against me

I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you

You don't know me, don't ignore me
You don't want me there you just shut me out
You don't know me, don't ignore me
If you had your way you'd just shut me out
Make me go away
Make me go away

I tried to belong it didn't seem wrong
My head aches
It's been so long I'll write this song
If that's what it takes

You don't know me, don't ignore me
You don't want me there you just shut me out
You don't know me, don't ignore me
If you had your way you'd just shut me out
Make me go away

You don't know me, don't ignore me
You don't want me there you just shut me out
You don't know me, don't ignore me
If you had your way you'd just shut me out
Make me go away
Make me go away
Make me go away

Tomorrow

And I wanna believe you
When you tell me that it will be ok
Ya I try to believe you
But I don't
When you say that it's gonna be
It always turns out to be a different way
I try to believe you
Not today...

I don't know how I feel
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I don't know what to say
Tomorrow, tomorrow is a different day

(Tomorrow...)

It's always been up to you
It's turning around it's up to me
I'm gonna do what I have to do
Just don't

Give me a little time
Leave me alone a little while
Maybe it's not too late
Not today...

I don't know how I feel
Tomorrow, Tomorrow
I don't know what to say
Tomorrow, Tomorrow is a different day

Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
And I know I'm not ready
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
Maybe tomorrow
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
I'm not ready
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
Maybe tomorrow

And I want to believe you
When you tell me that it will be okay
I try to believe you
Not today

Tomorrow it might change
Tomorrow it might change
Tomorrow it might change
Tomorrow it might change

Anything but ordinary

Sometimes I get so weird I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep it's my lullabye
Sometimes I drive so fast just to feel the danger
I want to scream it makes me feel alive
Is it enough to love, is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out and leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

To walk within the lines would make my life so boring!!
I want to know that I have been to the extreme
So knock me off my feet come on now give it to me
Anything to make me feel alive

Is it enough to love, is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out and leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

Let down your defenses, use no common sense
If you look you will see that this world is a
Beautiful, accident, turbulent
Succulent opulent permanent
No way I wanna taste it, don't wanna waste it away

Sometimes I get so weird I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep it's my lullabye

Is it enough, is it enough, is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out and leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

Is it enough...
Is it enough to die somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything than ordinary please
I'd rather be anything than ordinary please

Things I'll never say

I’m tugging at my hair
I’m pulling at my clothes
I’m trying to keep my cool
I know it shows
I’m staring at my feet
My checks are turning red
I’m searching for the words inside my head

(Cause) I’m feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you’re worth it
You’re worth it
Yeah

If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you... away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, I’m wishing my life away
With these things I’ll never say

It don’t do me any good
It’s just a waste of time
What use is it to you
What’s on my mind
If ain’t coming out
We’re not going anywhere
So why can’t I just tell you that I care

(Cause) I’m feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you’re worth it
You’re worth it
Yeah

If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you... away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, I’m wishing my life away
With these things I’ll never say

What’s wrong with my tongue
These words keep slipping away
I stutter, I stumble
Like I’ve got nothing to say

(Cause) I’m feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you’re worth it
You’re worth it
Yeah

La la la la..

Yes I’m wishing my life away with these things I’ll never say
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you...away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, I’m wishing my life away
With these things I’ll never say
These things I’ll never say

My world

Please tell me what is taking place
Cause I can't seem to find a trace
Guess it must have got erased somehow
Probably cause I always forget
Everytime someone tells me their name
It's always gotta be the same (in my world)
Never wore cover up
Always beat the boys up
Grew up in a 5,000 population town
Made my money by cutting grass
Got FIRED by a fried chicken ASS!
All in a small town "NAPANEE"

You know I always stay up without sleeping
And think to myself
Where do I belong forever
In whose arms the time and place

Can't help it if I space in a daze
My eyes tune out the other way
I may switch off and go in a daydream
In this head my thoughts are deep
Sometimes I can't even speak
Would someone be and not pretend
I'm off again in my world

I never spend less than an hour
Washing my hair in the shower
It always takes 5 hours to make it straight
So I'll braid it in a zillion braids
Though it may take all friggin' day
There's nothing else better to do anyway!

When you're all alone in the lands of forever
Lay under the milkyway
On and on it's getting too late out
I'm not in love this time this night

Can't help it if I space in a daze
My eyes tune out the other way
I may switch off and go in a daydream
In this head my thoughts are deep
And sometimes I can't even speak
Would someone be and not pretend
I'm off again in my world

Take some time mellow out
Party it up but don't fall down
Don't get caught
Sneak out of the house

Can't help it if I space in a daze
My eyes tune out the other way
I may switch off and go in a daydream
In this head my thoughts are deep
And sometimes I can't even speak
Would someone be and not pretend
I'm off again in my world

Can't help it if I space in a daze
My eyes tune out the other way
I may switch off and go in a daydream
In this head my thoughts are deep
And sometimes I can't even speak
Would someone be and not pretend
I'm off again in my world

Nobody's Fool

Step up, Step up!
Fall back, take a look at me and you'll see
I'm for real, I'll feel what only I can feel
And if that don't appeal to ya let me know
And I'll go cause I flow better when my colours show

And that's the way it has to be, honestly
Cause creativity could never bloom in my room
I'd throw it all away before I lie
So don't call me with the compromise, hang up the phone
I got a backbone stronger than yours

If you're trying to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see I'm not down with that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough that I'm over that
I'm not nobody's fool

If you want to bring me down
Go ahead and try!
Go ahead and try

Don't know you think you know me like yourself
But I fear that you're only telling me what I wanna hear
But do you give a damn
Understand that I can't not be what I am

I'm not the milk and cheerios in your spoon
It's not a simple here we go not so soon
I might have fallen for that when I was 14 and a little more green
But it's amazing what a couple of years can mean

If you're trying to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see I'm not down with that
And I'm not nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough that I'm over that
And I'm not nobody's fool

If you want to bring me down
Go ahead and try!
Go ahead and try

Go ahead and try
Try to look me in the eye
But you'll never see inside
Until you realize

Things are trying to settle down
Just trying to figure out
Exactly what I'm about
If it's with or without you
I don't need your doubt in me

If you're trying to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see I'm not down with that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough that I'm over that
I'm not nobody's fool

If you want to bring me down
Go ahead and try
Try

But you'll be laughing out loud
If I played to my own crowd
Try

Go ahead and try

Too much to ask

It's the first time I've ever felt this lonely
Wish someone would cure this pain
It's funny when you think it's gonna work out
Till you chose weed over me you're so lame!
I thought you were cool until the point
Up until the point you didn't call me when you said you would
Finally figured out you're all the same
Always coming up with some kind of story

Everytime I try to make you smile
You're always feeling sorry for yourself
Everytime I try to make you laugh
You can't you're too tough
You think you're loveless
Is that too much that I'm askin' for?

Thought you'd come around when I ignored you
Sorta thought you'd have the decency to change
But babe I guess you didn't take that warning
Cause I'm not about to look at your face again

Can't you see that you lie to yourself
You can't see the world through a mirror
It won't be too late when the smoke clears
Cause I, I am still here

But everytime I try to make you smile
You'd always go off feelin' sorry for yourself
Everytime I try to make you laugh
You stand like a stone
Alone in your zone
Is that too much that I'm asking for?

Can't find where I am
A lying here alone I fear
Afraid of the dark
No one to claim alone again

Can't you see that you lie to yourself
You can't see the world through a mirror
It won't be too late when the smoke clears
Cause I, I am still here

Everytime I try to make you smile
You're always feelin' sorry for yourself
Everytime I try to make you laugh
You can't you're too tough
You think you're loveless
It was too much that I ask him for

Naked

I wake up in the morning
Put on my face
The one that's gonna get me
Through another day
Doesn't really matter
How I feel inside
This life is like a game sometimes
Then you came around me
The walls just disappeared
Nothing to surround me
Keep me from my fears
I'm unprotected
See how I've opened up
Oh you've made me trust

Cause I've never felt like this before
I'm naked around you does it show
You see right through me and I can't hide
I'm naked around you and it feels so right

I'm trying to remember why I was afraid
To be myself and let the covers fall away
I guess I never had someone like you
To help me fit in my skin

I've never felt like this before
I'm naked around you does it show
You see right through me and I can't hide
I'm naked around you and it feels so right

I'm naked, Does it show
I'm naked, Ohh, yeah yeah

I'm so naked around you
And I can't hide
You're gonna, you're gonna see right through

I'm so naked around you
And I can't hide
You're gonna see right through baby
