Almost Had You

I almost got drunk at school at 14
Where I almost made out with the homecoming queen
Who almost went on to be miss Texas
But lost to a slut with much bigger breastes
I almost dropped out to move to LA
Where I was almost famous for almost a day

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost loved you
I almost wished you would've loved me too

I almost held up a grocery store
Where I almost did 5 years and then 7 more
Cause I almost got popped for a fight with a thug
Cause he almost made off with a bunch of the drugs
That I almost got hooked on cause you ran away
And I wish I would've had the nerve to ask you to stay

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it

You kept me guessing and now I'm destined
to spend my time missing you
I almost wish you would've loved me too

Here I go thinking about all the things I could've done
I'm gonna need a forklift cause all the baggage weighs a ton
I know we had our problems I can't remember one

I almost forgot to say something else
And if I cant fit it in I'll keep it all to myself
I almost wrote a song about you today
But I tore it all up and then I threw it away

Home Alone

I see her out almost every night
She’s with her friends

And I’m with mine
Oh man she looks so nice
(Break the ice)

Jet black hair and big blue eyes
Gonna hate myself if I
If I don’t make my move
(Get your groove)

(Ooh ooh)

I brush my breath and spike up my hair
(Ooh ooh ooh)

Finally gonna make her mine tonight

(Shot down)

Oh my god I just
(Fell down)

She has got my
(Heart drowned)

And I can’t believe it
(Right there)

For everyone to see it

So dashing, debonair
My Mom was right I should have changed my underwear
Another chance I’ve blown
Walking home alone

I said ‘hey’
She said ‘hello’
‘You wanna dance?’
She said ‘hell no’
But I still stood strong
(For way too long)

I had her laughing there all night
She said ‘you’re such a funny guy’
(But the biggest laugh he got was when he asked her for her number)
That’s actually true…

(Come on then, I’ll drive you home)

I’ve had enough now
(Don’t let it get you down)
No I’m not angry
I just wish that she could see me for myself
(Then can we ask her out?)
Do what you want
I’m not
It’s done
That’s through
I’m giving up
I think I might just get a cat

Much More Beautiful Person

Julie has a dad that might as well be dead
A case a day habit and three other kids
She's a much more beautiful person
Then you'll ever know
She hates the world
At least the one outside
She's a Myspace kid living a virtual life
She's a much more beautiful person
Than she'll ever know

Close your eyes and let time tick by
In this life it's OK to cry sometimes
It can be hard to see what's right in front of you

You're gonna smile sometimes
And worlds will collide
I know you're tired of waiting
So when you're through with hating
You'll be a much more beautiful person
And now you know

Danny can't help but feeling alone
Walking the halls with his head hung low
And he's a much more beautiful person
Than he'll ever know
High school kids can be so nasty
In a cut-throat war for popularity
A much more beautiful person then he'll ever know

And you don't feel so lucky
But I've seen so many things in you
Believe me, I know just what you're going through
So stand up and take a bow
Hold your head high
Don't ever let them get you down
It's all about you
And it's long overdue

Guy Who Gets The Girl (Val Kilmer)

I always thought my movie
Would be a comedy
Not quite the tragedy that its become
More slapstick than chickflick
More Caddyshack than Breakfast At Tiffany's
So thank me at the podium
For a lifetime of contribution
Turn on the cameras
Someone cue the extras
Hair and make-up to the set

Because the big screen's calling
Final casting call
Its your big shot baby your the next big star
On another stupid movie
About a guy with a broken heart
Who's falling apart
Your headed for the cutting room floor
And in the sequel honey
I'm the guy who gets the girl

So if you miss my movie
Get the DVD
Check out the chemistry
Between you and me
Less 'Raising Arizona'
More 'Steel Magnolias'
So when you walk down that red carpet
I hope you trip and fall
I hope someone squirts you with a Watergun
A super soaker filled with pee

All apologies
To Kevin Costner
And that chick from monster
Give me Adam Sandler,
Will Ferrell, Belushi and even Val Kilmer
He was funny in 'Real Genius'

[Gary]
What about 'Top Gun'?
[Lee]
No, 'Top Gun' wasn't funny
[Gary]
Whatever

Top secret was funny too
But he sucked as Batman!

Steven Spielberg's calling
And he's sending a car
Its your big shot baby your the next big star
On another stupid movie
About a guy with a broken heart
Who's falling apart
Your headed for the cutting room floor
And in the sequel honey
I'm the guy who gets the girl

Looking Up

Try not to talk when there's nothing to say
Kept bottled up
We get carried away
Did I fall?
Did I fall down?
Did we fall down?
And you know that it makes me feel so ridiculous
A pocket full of posies..
We fall down on the inside
Pretty on the outside
Turn it around
Can we turn it around?
Try to make a comeback with nowhere to start from now
But it's looking up.

A second chance
A much better day
A sunset that just won't go away
Then I fall
Then I fall down
We all fall down

And you know that it makes me feel so ridiculous.
A pocket full of posies..

And you know you said you'd never end up this way
Close the door behind you
I just wanna stay for a while.
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall..

Love And Beer

Its not the end of the world
In fact it's not even the end of the summer
But thank god the TV is on
Cause there's no way we could know
Anything that’s going down
Or how we're supposed to be feeling about it
I can't tell you how much I wish we could shut up and smile

Sail around the world and tell them all to keep singing it
La la la la la la
All we need is a harmony and we’ll convince the world to sing
La la la la la la
Throw your arms around someone
Maybe spread a little love
I know it sounds a little dumb
Maybe I’m a little drunk
But all we need is some ice cream and a hug

Take a good look around
Does life really suck?
Are we just complaining?
I hope that this mic is on
Cause i'm on a roll here
I hope this is making some sense
I hope that you’ll throw up your hands and sing it
And tell all the haters that they should just shut up and smile

All we need is love and beer
And old school metal and holiday cheer
To be happy
All you need is someone near
Like Ben and Jerry
To hold you close and pretend that they care

Can we all just get along now?
We found something that we all have in common
We can hold hands
Do keg stands
Water skiing sounds great to me!

All we need is love and beer

This Song Sounds Like A Dance Song

We grew up in the suburbs

Got guitars for Christmas

And started a Punk Rock band

Then we travelled the nation

Became a sensation

In ’82 Dodge van

Now we’re gettin’ older

And much more sober

And we’ve got some big house payments to make

The wife wants a handbag

The kids need some college

And we just need one hit single to break

Get ready here it comes!

This song sounds like a dance song

Cause dance songs are cool now

So get up and shake what ya momma gave ya!

It’s our attempt at a dance song

A really cool dance song

It’s gonna be a great big hit

And now the label is so stuck

They don't get the damn joke

The downloads are off the chart

Like those bands on the TV

In those frilly Tuxedos

The ones that break the young girls hearts

And now we can too!

This song sounds like a dance song

Cause dance songs are cool now

So get up and shake what ya momma gave ya!

It’s our attempt at a dance song

A really cool dance song

I can’t wait to hear the remix

Who the hell are we foolin’?

This isn’t really what we do

We had to borrow this keyboard

We only listen to Motley Crue

But it's gonna be funny

Cause this song will be number 1!

Sugar Coated Accident

I woke up today
That was my first mistake
Would of been better off
In the middle of a dream
I was having about a brighter day
Yesterday, I gave my heart away
By the middle of the day
You could search for a sucker
and buy it now on ebay

Hold your head up and face the day
Seems like everybody's got a way to say "I'm doing OK."
"I'm OK as long as you're happy without me"
Without my hand to hold
Without my jacket to keep you warm when you're cold

Popsicle lovin'

Pie crust promises

Ice cream kisses
That I'm really gonna miss
The Smithsonian

Peppermint
Sugar coated accident

Empty like a cavity
And now we're just history

And this is all I ever wanted
I can take the heartbreak
Can I get something for my lovesick stomach ache?

I threw up today
I kinda sorta prayed
To go back in time and rewrite these lines
But I'll settle for a Bloody Mary
What's that you say?
You say you're not so OK?
Looking down from the top of a 30-foot drop
That's exactly what you wanted

Hold your head up and face the day
Seems like yesterday you got your way
But are you doing OK?
What's that you say?
You say you're not really happy without me
Without my hand to hold
Without my jacket
To keep you warm when you're cold

This is all I ever wanted
I can take the heartbreak
Can I get something for my lovesick stomach ache?

And this is much more than I needed
(Get some Ginger Ale!)
I feel the agony of the defeated
(Tell her she can go to hell!)
And if you really wanna make me feel better
Just don't let her take the sweater
I was wearin' when I met her
Cause I know she's gonna say it was hers
But it's mine

That shit is mine

When We Die

Well I know that it's early
And it's too hard to think
And the broken empty bottle's
A reminder in the sink
But I thought that I should tell you
If it's not too late to say
I could put back all the pieces
They just might not fit the same

Nothing's worth losing
Especially the chance to make it right

And I know that we're gonna be fine
And the tattooed mistakes
Are gonna fade over time
As long as we live time passes by
And we won't get it back when we die

Well I know it's been years now
And I don't look the same
And the hopes and dreams you had for me
You thought went down the drain
And the room feels so empty
Where my pictures used to be
And I can't say that I blame you
But you can't blame me

Come over
Come over
Cause I gotta know
If I am doing this all on my own
Come over
Come over
How can I show you if you're not here?

Come over
Come over

(Oh Oh Oh)

Come over
Come over

(Oh Oh Oh Oh)

I gotta know

We won't get it back when we die

We'll i know that it's early.

Do You Still Think About Me?

Hello
I just called to say I'm sorry
Sorry for givin' up
I still think about you more
Than you'll ever know
And I hope that you're doing ok

How have you been?
How's the old hometown
And all the friends we used to talk bad about
I guess I can't let go
How have you been?
Did you ever find the love
That you lost the day that I lost mine
Oh by the way
Do you still think about me?

I got your number from a friend
Who said you don't come around anymore
And no, this is not a breakdown
I just called to say hello
And I know you gotta go right now
But maybe I changed my mind

I know it's late at night
I always call you late at night
And I've never found a time more right
This time I know I'll get it right
And if you go outside
I'll take you away
And I'll never let you go again

Halfway 'Round The World

Lately I feel so small
Or maybe it’s just that my bed has grown
I never noticed it before but you were there
So how was I to know?

That this single bed
was always meant for two
not just anyone
it was meant for me and you

And now you’re halfway around the world
And I’m just a day behind
Nothing seems to fill the hole
That I have since you left my side
You’ll always be my little girl
Though I can’t hold you tonight
And now you’re halfway round the world
And I’m just a day behind

I wake up in the night
I turn around and find that you’re not there
I just like to watch you sleep and lay by you
I love to feel you near
I think I’m going crazier
Everyday confusion starts to grow
I never noticed it before
But you were there so how was I supposed to know

Bitch

Is it OK if I speak to you today?
You’ve been pissed off for a week now
Nothing I can say could make you look up
Or crack up
Is there anything that I can do?
Anything to show you

You’re a bitch
But I love you anyway
You can’t sing
But you still put me to sleep
Baby You’re a bitch
Hey Hey Hey Hey
You make me sick
But don’t ever go away

So you tell me that there’s nothing left to say
I drive you face the window
Then you’re in my face
Telling me to grow up
"I wish you’d grow up"
I can’t wait until you fall asleep
I wonder if you know that

Yeah you’re a bitch but I love you anyway
So why don’t you...... Stay

My Emily

It wasn't supposed to be like this
Another dose of unhappiness
I gave it all and managed to get shot down yet again
So I got drunk
Had sex with all your friends
You told me that i should never call your house again

Emily
You saved the day
Emily
When you threw me away

She was always such a pretty girl
Nobody like her in the world
A little piece of heavenly
That no one else could stand
I see you in my dreams at night
I see you when I close my eyes
I just can't seem to shake Emily

You got your money and I got cast outside
Thrown out on my ass
In the city with no one else
And nowhere else to go
Then I hooked up with a model from Singapore
Emily
I sure am glad that you didn't want me anymore

Emily
You saved my ass
