Songs
1. Fast In My Car
We're driving fast in my car. We've got our riot gear on, but we just want to have fun. No, we're not looking for violence, no oh oh oh. Tonight, we want to have fun.
2. Now
Lost the battle, win the war. I'm bringing my sinking ship back to the shore. We're starting over, we'll head back in. There's a time and a place to die, but this ain't it. If there's a future, we want it now.
3. Grow Up
Some of us have to grow up sometimes. And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind. Stood in line for so long just to picket. Something I will never understand. Aren't you tired of always being mad at the world?
4. Daydreaming
Daydreaming, daydreaming all the time. Daydreaming, daydreaming into the night and I'm alright. Daydreaming, daydreaming all the time. Daydreamer, we used to be half alive. Now I'm alright.
5. Interlude: Moving On
Let 'em soak in the sun. Sit back and let 'em have their fun. Let 'em spill their guts, 'cause one day they're gonna slip on 'em. Well, I could be angry, but you're not worth the fight. And besides, I'm moving on.
6. Ain't It Fun
So what are you gonna do when the world don't orbit around you? Ain't it fun living in the real world? Ain't it good being all alone? Ain't it good to be on your own? Ain't it fun you can't count on no one?
7. Part II
Come and find me dancing all alone to the sound of an enemy's song. I'll be lost until you find me fighting on my own in a war that's already been won. I'll be lost until you come and find me here, oh glory.
8. Last Hope
It's just a spark, but it's enough to keep me going. And when it's dark out, no one's around, it keeps glowing. Every night I try my best to dream tomorrow makes it better. Then I wake up to the cold reality and not a thing has changed
9. Still Into You
I should be over all the butterflies, but I'm into you. And baby even on our worst nights, I'm into you. Let 'em wonder how we got this far, 'cause I don't really need to wonder at all. Yeah, after all this time I'm still into you
10. Anklebiters
Why you wanna please the world and leave yourself to drop dead? Someday you’re gonna be the only one you’ve got. What do you actually expect a broken mirror to reflect? You know, anklebiters gave you a false perception.
11. Interlude: Holiday
And I'm drinkin' coffee while I read the paper. I've been savin' money, eatin' only top ramen. Now I get a holiday. Wherever I go I might stay. I don't plan on coming back ever if I can help it. Now I get a holiday. I think I'll stay.
12. Proof
Baby, if I’m half the man I say I am, if I’m a woman with no fear just like I claim I am, then I believe in what you say. There’s nothing left for you to do. The only proof that I need is you.
13. Hate To See Your Heart Break — Pain by XXXataktoulaXXX
For all the things that you're alive to feel, just let the pain remind you hearts can heal. Oh, how were you to know? And I hate to see your heart break. I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close, but I've been there before.
14. [One Of Those] Crazy Girls
As the chemicals swim, I know I’ll never love again. I swear I’ll never love again. Baby, are we over now? Maybe I can change your mind? As soon as you walk out my door, I’m gonna call a hundred times. I’m not one of those crazy girls.
15. Interlude: I'm Not Angry Anymore
I'm not angry anymore. Well, sometimes I am. I don't think badly of you. Well, sometimes I do. It depends on the day, the extent of all my worthless rage. I'm not angry anymore.
16. Be Alone
So what if I don't have a lot to talk about? I shut my mouth and keep it locked until it counts. And what if I don't ever want to leave my house? Stay on the couch while all my friends are going out. You should be alone with me.
17. Future
Just think of the future and think of your dreams. You'll get away from here. You'll get away eventually. So, just think of the future, think of a new life. And don't get lost in the memories, keep your eyes on a new prize.
18. BONUS SONG: Stay The Night by Zedd (ft. Hayley Williams)
You kill the lights, I'll draw the blinds. Don't dull the sparkle in your eyes. I know that we were made to break. So what? I don't mind. Are you gonna stay the night?
Don't be afraid to ask me any questions you may have. (:
Have fun!
