I feel so far away, from everything I used to be
So I just hang my head, and feel the shame
Like theres nothing I can do
I thought no time or space
Could separate us with all that we've been through
But now she's on a plane, she's miles away
And I just wanna go home
Oh there she goes so beautiful
But she said she don't know who I am
Oh there she goes so beautiful
But she's crying
Cause she liked me better when
I was different
No one knew me then
Back in Maryland
Way before I left
I had everything
Can't forget the days
I was back home in Maryland
We live too far away
From anything to run the race back then
From all these city streets
That jaded me and make me feel this way
Now my thoughts drift away to summer days
When I see your face
You'd always smile at me
I felt so safe
And I just wanna go home
Oh there she goes so beautiful
But she said she don't know who I am
Oh there she goes so beautiful
But she's crying
Cause she liked me better when
I was different
No one knew me then
Back in Maryland
Way before I left
I had everything
Can't forget the days
I was back home in Maryland
She lived in the eye for the first time
When I saw the world with my own eyes
But now that you're gone
I miss you so much more
Oh there she goes so beautiful
She's flying back home to Maryland
Oh there she goes so beautiful
But she's crying
Cause she liked me better when
Oh there she goes so beautiful
But she said she don't know who I am
Oh there she goes so beautiful
But she's crying
Cause she liked me better when
I was different
No one knew me then
Back in Maryland
Way befor

Turn on channel seven at a quarter to eight
You see the same damn thing it's just a different day and
No one really knows why this is happening
But it's happening
And everywhere you go it's just a different place
You get the same dark feeling
See the same sad faces
No one really cares that this is happening
We come into this world
And we all are the same
In that moment there's no one to blame
But the world is black
And hearts are cold
And there's no hope
That's what we're told
And we can't go back
It won't be the same
Forever changed
By the things we've seen, seen
Living in this place it's always been this way
There's no one doing nothing so there's nothing changed
And I can't live when this world just keeps dying
It's dying
People always tell me this is part of the plan
That God's got everybody in His hands
But I can only pray that God is listening
Is He listening?
We're living in this world
Growing colder everyday
Nothing can stay perfect now I see
But the world is black
And hearts are cold
And there's no hope
That's what we're told
And we can't go back
It won't be the same
Forever changed
By the things we've seen, seen, seen
We come into this world
And we all are the same
And in that moment there's no one to blame
But we're living in this world
Growing colder everyday
Nothing can stay perfect now I see
The world is black
And hearts are cold
There's no hope
That's what we're told
And we can't go back
(We can't go back)
It won't be the same
(It won't be the same)
Forever changed
(What will ever change)

One day I woke up..
I woke up knowing,
Today is the day,
I will die.
Cashdogg was barking.
Went to the park and enjoyed it one last time.
I called my mother, told her I loved her
And I begged her not to cry.
I wrote a letter.
I said I'd miss her.
And I signed that "Goodbye".
You know the happiest day of my life,
I swear the happiest day of my life,
Is the day that I die.
Can you feel the cold tonight (the day that I die),
It sets in, but it's alright (the day that I die).
Darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I die).
All alone but I feel fine.
We took a drive and we drove through D.C.,
To see the places we lived.
Long conversations, we talked of old friends and all the
things that we did.
Summer nights,
Drunken fights,
Mistakes we made,
Did we live it right?
You know the happiest day of my life
I swear the happiest day of my life
Is the day that I die
Can you feel the cold tonight (the day that I die),
It sets in, but it's alright (the day that I die).
Darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I die).
All alone but I feel just fine..
You know the happiest day of my life,
I know the happiest day of my life,
I swear the happiest day of my life,
Is the day that I die.
Can you feel the cold tonight (the day that I die),
It sets in, but it's alright (the day that I die),
Darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I die),
All alone but I feel fine..
Did I live it right, I hope I lived it right, Did I live it
right? (the day that I die)
Did I live it right, I hope I lived it right, I know I lived
it right (the day that I die)
I don't know too much about too much of my old man
I know he walked right out the door, we never saw him again
Last I heard he was at the bar, doin' himself in
I know I got that same disease, I guess I got that from him
This is the story of my old man
Just like his father before him
I'm tellin' you, do anything you can
So you don't end up just like them
Like them
Monday he woke up and hated life
Drank until Wednesday and left his wife
Thursday through Saturday he lost everything
Woke up on Sunday, miserable again
I remember baseball games and workin' on the car
Told me that he loved me and that I would go far
Showed me how to work hard and stick up for myself
I wish he wasn't too hard to listen to himself
This is the story of my old man
Just like his father before him
I'm tellin' you, do anything you can
So you don't end up just like them
Like them
Monday he woke up and hated life
Drank until Wednesday and left his wife
Thursday through Saturday he lost everything
Woke up on Sunday, miserable again
Again
Again
Someday he'll wish that he made things right (made things right)
Long for his family and miss his wife (miss his wife)
Remember the days he had everything (everything)
Now he's alone and miserable again
It's a new day
But it all feels old,
It's a good life,
That's what I'm told,
But everything, it all just feels the same...
And my high school
It felt more to me
Like a jail cell,
A penitentiary
My time spent there, it only made me see
That I don't ever wanna be like you
I don't wanna do the things you do
I'm never gonna hear the words you say
And I don't ever wanna,
I don't ever wanna be
You
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
You..
Don't wanna be you
"Go to college,
A university
Get a real job"
That's what they said to me
But I could never live the way they want
I'm gonna get by
And just do my time
Out of step while
They all get in line
I'm just a Minor Threat so pay no mind
Do you really wanna be like them?
Do you really wanna be another trend?
Do you wanna be part of that crowd?
Cause I don't ever wanna
I don't ever wanna be
You
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
You
Don't wanna be you
Shake it once, that's fine
Shake it twice, that's okay
Shake it three times, you're playing with yourself again
You
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
Y'all got to feel me, sing if you're with me
You
Don't wanna be just like you (just like you)
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
Y'all got to feel me, sing if you're with me
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)

Spend your lazy, endless crazy days, inside my head,
You're so selfish, you're not the only one who thinks he's dead
I'm paid to smile, now I'm on trial for what you think I said
But I never said that everything would be ok,
And I never said that we would live to see another day..yeah..yeah..
[Chorus:]
Motivate me, I wanna get myself out of this bed,
Captivate me, I want good thoughts inside of my head,
If I fall down would you come around and pick me right up off the ground? [x2]
I'm realistic and narcissistic,
You say I'm selfish and absurd
You try to change me, you try to save me
You say I'm gonna learn, I'm so blind,
I'm out of time, You're so unkind sometimes,
I never lied, I never lied, I never lied
Cuz I never said that everything would be ok,
and I never said that we would live to see another day..yeah..yeah..
[Chorus:]
Motivate me, I wanna get myself out of this bed,
Captivate me, I want good thoughts inside of my head,
If I fall down would you come around and pick me right up off the ground? [x2]
(Right up off the ground.. Pick me right up off the ground.. Yeah..Oh)
Yeah, 'Cause everything, it'll be ok,
You know we're gonna live to see another day,
Yeah...yeah...yeah...yeah...
Motivate me...yeah,
(I wanna get myself outta this)
Motivate me...yeah
(I wanna get myself outta this)
Motivate me...yeah
(I wanna get myself outta this)
Motivate me...yeah
(I wanna get myself outta this bed!)
She is a diamond, I am a stone
I come from nowhere, she's been to Rome
Her dad is a lawyer, and mines not around
She has good manners, I'm rough all around
But you could come from something; you could come from nothing
You could be a princess; you could be a working man
But in the end...
We all want something else (We all want something else)
We all want something we can't have
We all want something else (We all want something else)
We all want something strange to us
Maybe a roll in the dirt, maybe a seat in first class:
We all want something we can't have.
She wants to go to restaurants in Beverly Hills and people stare
But I don't care it's just what she grew up around.
She drags me along to parties where people ask me where I went to college;
She knows damn well I barely finished school.
She knows a lot about yearly salaries and trust funds and dividends;
She knows that I don't really care at all
But we got together, and we're doing ok
But you could come from something; you could come from nothing
You could be a princess; you could be a working man
But in the end...
We all want something else (We all want something else)
We all want something we can't have
We all want something else (We all want something else)
We all want something strange to us
Maybe a roll in the dirt, maybe a seat in first class:
We all want something we can't have.
Well you can spend your whole life looking for something, something that might be
Right in front of your eyes, but you'll be looking for something else you'll never find
We all want something else (We all want something else)
We all want something we can't have
We all want something else (We all want something else)
We all want something strange to us

You come in cold,
You're covered in blood.
They're all so happy you've arrived.
The doctor cuts your cord.
He hands you to your mom.
She sets you free into this life.
And where do you go with no destination, no maps to guide you.
Wouldn't you know that it doesn't matter, we all end up the same.
These are the chronicles of life and death and everything between.
These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem.
You come in this world, and you go out just the same.
Today could be the best day of your life.
And money talks in this world,
That's what idiots will say
But you'll find out that this world,
Is just an idiots parade
Before you go, you've got some questions.
And you want answers
But now you’re old, cold, covered in blood,
right back to where you started from
These are the chronicles of life and death and everything between.
These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem.
You come in this world, and you go out just the same.
Today could be the worst day of your life.
But these are the chronicles of life and death and everything between.
These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem.
You come in this world, and you go out just the same.
Today could be the best day of,
Today could be the worst day of,
Today could be the last day of your life.
It's your life, your life.
She's got a smile so sweet
It's every little thing for my head down to her feet
Out of the magazine
And I see you on the TV
I love the song she sings
Cause when I turn around it's like she singing to me
And every word she means
Like it could be about me (it could be about me)
[Chorus:]
She sounds to me
She sounds like sex on the radio
I love to hear her scream
And when I push play she's screaming in stereo
Oh oh oh oh oh
She sounds like sex on the radio
Oh oh oh oh oh
She put sex on the radio (sex on the radio)
I knew that we would meet
At wanna those shows they do for the radio
And when she looked at me
All I said was hello (all I said was hello)
I took her out to eat
Cause we were in a city that neither one of us knew
We never went to sleep
Cause when the sun came up, we knew that we would have to go
[Chorus:]
She sounds to me
She sounds like sex on the radio
I love to hear her scream
And when I push play she's screaming in stereo
Oh oh oh oh oh
She sounds like sex on the radio
Oh oh oh oh oh
She put sex on the radio (sex on the radio) [x2]
I've got to admit, this feeling's legit
I don't wanna stop and she don't want me to quit
But she gives a little nervous with what we do,
Scare what they would say,
What they would talk about if they knew
Heard her sing a song I knew that she would write about it
Saw her in her magazine, I knew that she could keep it quiet
Keep it in the sheets, the radio the beats
Between you and me, we'll flow away back here
[Chorus:]
She sounds to me
She sounds like sex on the radio
I love to hear her scream
And when I push play she's screaming in stereo
As I start to make my way back home
Through the crowded streets
But the people come and go
All the faces that I see that seem to show
A standing ovation for you
A standing ovation for you
We're alive now
Let's just take our time now
Let's just make the most of every day we have
The most of every moment
We're alive now
Let's not waste our time now
Let's just make the most of every breath we take
The most of every second we're alive
Oh oh oh
Cause we're alive
Oh oh oh
Out the window of a train the city's go
By so fast just like days I watched you grow (I've watched you grow)
And one day you will walk away from all you know
A standing ovation is for you
A standing ovation is for you
We're alive now
Let's just take our time now
Let's just make the most of every day we have
The most of every moment
We're alive now
Let's not waste our time now
Let's just make the most of every breath we take
The most of every second we're alive
Can't you see
The world is on there feet for you and me
And it's alright, you've got me
Cause even when I'm gone I'll never leave
So go on and catch your dreams
We're alive now
Let's just take our time now
Let's just make the most of every day we have
The most of every moment
We're alive now
Let's not waste our time now
Let's just make the most of every breath we take
The most of every second we're alive
Oh we're alive
Cause we're alive
Oh we're alive
As I start to make my way back home
I can't help but crack a smile cause I know
A standing ovation is for you
A standing ovation is for you
