Your life dreams are shattered
Now you’re gone away
We’ve cried here for hours
And the hours turn to days
We know you regret this
Leaving us here
With portraits and memories that we’ve held so dear

When I hear you name

It’s not the same
No matter what they say
I’m not okay

And we started at zero
And went different ways
Now we’re all out here wasting away
And if we started at zero
Then how did things change?
It seems like just yesterday we were the same

It’s been 3 months since he left us
So far nothings been the same
And my question without answer is: am I the one to blame?
He was such a good description of a favored future man
He spoke well of other people
And they said the same for him

When I hear your name
It’s not the same
No matter what they say
I’m not okay

And we started at zero
And went different ways
Now we’re all out here wasting away
And if we started at zero
Then how did things change?
It seems like just yesterday we were the same

They say they’re sorry
Well what are they sorry for?
How can they possibly know what I’m going through?
I feel like no one’s every had to deal with the pain
That I’m dealing with right now
Just 6 month ago everything was fine
Or so it seemed
What turn of events caused him to go downhill?
His parents are devastated
His girlfriend’s depressed
What was he thinking?

And we started at zero
And went different ways
Now we’re all out here wasting away

And we started at zero
And went different ways
Now we’re all out here wasting away
And if we started at zero
Then how did things change?
It seems like just yesterday we were the same

Billy made a promise but didn’t end though
Carrie had a dream but she threw it out the window
Kevin met a nice girl who broke his heart and
His friends never told him but they knew it from the start and…

These are the things we go through
Let’s take control and be ourselves
Let’s not waste time wondering about
How we’re gonna make it out

Wake up everyone around you
Let’s rock until the clock stikes two
Stand up for what you believe and shout to
Here’s another song from the youth that surround you

Kyle’s parents spilt up, he thinks it’s his fault
Little does he know that the time they’re in was difficult
Andrea she left home, said she had enough
All she really wanted was somebody else there to love
She’s all alone again, it’s the same old argument
And she needs a helping hand to help her find the truth

These are the things we go through
Let’s take control and be ourselves
Let’s not waste time wondering about
How we’re gonna make it out

Wake up everyone around you
Let’s rock until the clock strikes two
Stand up for what you believe and shout to
Here’s another song from the youth that surround you

Save me I’m all alone as I’m coming to the surface
Tell me I’ve got to know what is my meaning and my purpose
Show me I’m far from home lost with no sense of direction
Take me to Your throne

Billy made a promise but didn’t end though
Carrie had a dream but she threw it out the window
Kevin met a nice girl who broke his heart and
His friends never told him but they knew it from the start and…

These are the things we go through
Let’s take control and be ourselves
Let’s not waste time wondering about
How we’re gonna make it out
Go

Wake up everyone around you
Let’s rock until the clock strikes two
Stand up for what you believe and shout to
Here’s another song from the youth that surround you

Wake up everyone around you
Let’s rock until the clock strikes two
Stand up for what you believe and shout to
Here’s another song from the youth that surround you

E-E-Everywhere I go, it’s all been taken
Pick me up a book about new sensations
T-T-Take me to a place with no frustrations
Better back it up before I lose my patience

Here we go
Let’s take ‘em to the show wo-ho
Come on, turn on your radio
Let’s go, let’s take ‘em to the show wo-ho
Turn up your radio

C-C-Call me on the phone, or two-way pager
Won’t be comin’ home so see you later
Y-Y-You can keep your cars and your jet-black hummer
You won’t see me again until next summer

Here we go
Let’s take ‘em to the show wo-ho
Come on, turn on your radio
Let’s go, let’s take ‘em to the show wo-ho
Turn up your radio

Come on if you’re feelin’
If you’re feelin’ alright
Come on if you’re feelin’
If you’re feelin’ alright [x6]

Here we go
Let’s take ‘em to the show wo-ho
Come on, turn on your radio
Let’s go, let’s take ‘em to the show wo-ho
Turn up your radio

Will someone please radio for help?
‘Cause I think I’m allergic to myself
And they think they can throw us all away
We gotta stop before it’s all too late

There’s got to be a better way
They dissect everything we say
To try to make us feel this way

And you could take the one thing I have left
I’d give it all away for so much less
Even take the heart inside my chest
Whoa whoa
And you could take the one thing I have left
Beat it to the ground and take my breath (no!)
But you can’t take who I am
Whoa whoa

And I swear we were born to lay you down
We scream but never make a sound
We point but don’t know which direction
We are(?) America right now

There’s got to be a better way
They dissect everything we say
To try to make us feel this way

And you could take the one thing I have left
I’d give it all away for so much less
Even take the heart inside my chest
Whoa whoa
And you could take the one thing I have left
Beat it to the ground and take my breath (no!)
But you can’t take who I am
Whoa whoa

How can I be the same?
How can I take the blame?
How can I be so tired of all these charades?

How can I be the one?
How can I all be good?
How can I see if everyone else is to blame?

Don’t wanna be the
Don’t wanna see the
Cause we point the finger
Think everyone else is to blame
Everyone else is to blame

Can You hear me? Does anyone around me
Feel the way that I feel now?
Cause from the window where I sometimes cry
I just want to see Your face tonight
And I’m willing to lose everything I am

Cause I need You more than ever
I need Your help to find where I’ve been going wrong so far

Take me under Your wing tonight
Make me so perfect in Your eyes
Hold on cause it will be alright
You’re not alone anymore

When You’re near me, I feel like I just found me
In the traces of the boy from yesterday
But in a world that is so black and white
I will take the steps to change my life
And I won’t be coming back to here again

I need Your loving hand to guide me
Through the maze of all the things inside me
Then I’ll know that I’m alright

Cause I need You more than ever
I need Your help to find where I’ll be going wrong so far

Take me under Your wing tonight
Make me so perfect in Your eyes
Hold on cause it will be alright
You’re not alone anymore

Please help me get from worse to better
Before these tears soak through this lonely sweater
And let me know that I’m alright
I still have one strike of this match left
And I’m holding on to my last breath
And it’s getting a little dark around to see here

Take me under Your wing tonight
Make me so perfect in Your eyes
Hold on cause it will be alright
You’re not alone

Take me under Your wing tonight
Make me so perfect in Your eyes
Hold on it will be alright
You’re not alone

And You’ll be here forever, forever You’ll stay
And You promised to love me, You’ll love me always
You’ll love me for always, You’ll love me for always
Always

Take the train
Go separate ways and leave it long forgotten
I’ll hang my hat and i won’t be back
On my way out
I’m feelin’ lame
Am i to blame or am i just too jaded
I won’t be back, what you think of that?
When it feels like life’s wastin’ away
I can say

That when there’s something on my mind
That takes my concentration
Just wanna lay it on the line
Avoid all confrontation
I’m gonna say this one more time for all my generation:
You’ll never, ever pull my lever
Not today and not forever

Take the fame and change my name
Because my jacket’s fading
I’ll change my hat (no we can’t have that)
(Now you’re lookin’ at a brand new cat)
It’s all made up
I’ve had enough of this circulation
If you write me back i’ll tell you where it’s at
When it feels like life’s wastin’ away i can say
I can say

That when there’s something on my mind
That takes my concentration
Just wanna lay it on the line
Avoid all confrontation
I’m gonna say this one more time for all my generation:
You’ll never, ever pull my lever
Not today and not forever

Something on my mind
That takes my concentration
Just wanna lay it on the line
Avoid all confrontation
I’m gonna say this one more time for all my generation:
You’ll never, ever pull my lever
Not today and not forever [x3]

The phone starts ringing again I think it’s my girlfriend
This time I know that it’s finally over
She keeps bringing me down, will this all turn around
Right now I feel like I’m slowly dying

You know I’ve heard it all before
Now my eyes they run like faucets
Until my tears are dry

She said we were in love
I take a sip of my water
I guess we’ll carry on at last
She still thinks it’s fault
And I’m nobody at all
She must have thought I was someone else before

I’m not so special now, I always knew it somehow
I guess she never had guts to tell me
Is it my spiked blond hair, the fact that my chest is bare
Or that my wardrobe is all in black, it’s all in black
It’s all in black, you want me back?
Well I won’t go back

Because you’re always keeping score
But now the scorecard’s in my pocket
And now the match is won

She said we were in love
I take a sip of my water
I guess we’ll carry on at last
She still thinks it’s my fault
And I’m nobody at all
She must have thought I was someone else before

I’m hard to understand when you don’t know me
But can we still be friends
It’s better off that way
Through my eyes I’ll see you there
It’s hard to understand
When no one ever seems to care

With my words I’ll make a change
And try to rearrange

And walls of fear come crashing down
I won’t look back don’t turn around
And with my life I’ll make a change
And hope we’ll all be friend again

It’s hard to make amends
I know it isn’t easy but try and understand
It’s really not that bad

Every time I see you I can see right through you
Knowing I could never change your mind
I look into your eyes for the last time
I have realized for the first time

While everyone is around I’ll take a moment
To let you know that I’m down

Have all my questions been ignored?
This time I’m walking out the door

I don’t know if I’ll ever know why
Or hear the sound when angel’s cry
What you said to me late last night
I’ll remember for the rest of my life
And I want you to know that I’ll
Always be right here

Time stands still, so do I, leave me here
But for now I will go and I won’t say nothing
Every time I hear that sound it reminds me that
You’re always hanging around

Have all my questions been ignored?
This time I’m walking out the door

I don’t know if I’ll ever know why
Or hear the sound when angel’s cry
What you said to me late last night
I’ll remember for the rest of my life
And I want you to know that I’ll
Always be right here

These are the days these are the moments that pass us by
We ask the questions but we never really find out why

Pull my card right from the bottom
Reminds me of the things we’ve forgotten
That road trip we took back in autumn
The time we left and went back and got ‘em

These are the days these are the moments that pass us by

I don’t know if I’ll every know why
Or hearthe sound when angel’s cry
What you said to me late last night
I’ll remember for the rest of my life
Every night when I close my eyes
I see the ways you’ve touched my life
And I want you to know that I’ll
Always be right here

Lying in my ocean
Thinking of his subtle notions
Waiting to hear from the winds of your heart

Searching for a love with no end
And I’m smiling cause on you I depend
And I’m striving for your never failing love

I’m crying out this is my prayer
I gave my word and this I swear
I’ll follow you cause you’ve promised me
So return to me

Praying for a change in my spirit
Reaching out and I know you can hear it
Striving for your never failing love
