The stars are moving on and I am staying home and I can't help but ask myself where did I go wrong? It
had to be this way there's nothing left to say it never helps to hear that things will be okay.

You may not remember me but I remember you and years can hide your memories and what you used to do

If I could make this go away I'd wish that it was so,cause I should never have come here but I wanted
you to know time is harsh and won't forgive the way we have to live sometimes the only thing to say just
get in the way

I always knew that I could never live a lie and maybe if I'd let this go things will be alright I tried
again today to make this go away it never helps to hear that things will be okay.

[chorus]

I've tried to do this on my own
Without the help of telephones
The only place I need to be
Is right here where I'm forced to see that
I can fight against disease
Or let it take me out to sea
Either way I just might drown
But I'd rather swim than hit the ground

I'm willing now to do what it takes to see
That the boy looking back in the mirror isn't me

So take back your 12 step self help programs
And let me tell you all about how
It was self that got me here in the first place
And self that taught me how to replace
Everything I know with every other option
But the only right way to go

Yeah I'm pretty sure that now it shows
I could never see far past my nose
And I'm almost positive these pills
Are the only thing that ever made me ill so
I'll make it through another week
Despite the fact that I can't sleep
The only problem I can see
Is this is not who I'm meant to be and

I'm ready now to do what it takes to see
That the boy looking back in the mirror isn't me

The only I have to hold to is a promise
You put another life inside of me
That's not my own

So take back all your self help programs

I told myself my heart would just get in the way It's never good to let emotions have there say I know
it's not the last time we will fight again you're right I'm wrong it's high time we were moving on

Cause I've spent all this time trying to convince myself that I don't need your smile and I don't need
your kisses I don't need the way you hold my hand and everybody says I don't know what I'm missing It's
almost too much for me to stand

Your phone is ringing now but your not picking up I guess that's just your way to say I've had enough I
don't recall the last time that we got along step back relax and tell me it's all coming back

[chorus]

Sometimes I don't know what to do 'cause I'm always thinking about you
all the times we had together I hope they last forever
and every single word you ever said goes round and round inside my head
just promise me that you'll be true and I'll go crazy over you

Say everything is fine.
Don't let me waste my time
your eyes will always shine forever lost in mine

I'm so caught up in yesterday
I run out of things to say the only thing that I can't see is life without you here with me
I hope you'll call me on the phone 'cause I don't want to be alone
somehow you make this all OK and all my problems go away

[chorus]

So I'll just keep it all inside, I guess I'm just that kind of guy.
You're everything I want that's why I never want to say goodbye.

[chorus]

I think I'm about to go off
Max Weinberg kicks the show off
Wit, charm and a devious smile
We're gonna be here for a while tonight

He is the only guy we turn to
For our celebrity interviews
Red hair that's never going anywhere
All I can do is sit and stare
Don't bother me cause I don't care tonight

Oh, Conan can't you see
You're the one for me?
Conan, don't you know
You're my late night TV hero?

I wish and hope and pray he might
Let me be a guest on the show tonight
Talking about anything and everything
Oh, golly how I want to be
A part of his hilarity tonight

And I don't mean to sound like a jerk
But you're the only show that still redeems your network

Oh, Conan can't you see
We were meant to be?
Conan, don't you know
You will always be my hero?

If you're like me you make believe
That everything that could possibly
Go wrong is gonna happen here tonight
And if you're like me you're on the brink
Of telling everybody what you think
As if what I had to say was important anyway

The first mistake that you and I will make
Is trying way too hard to compensate

'Cause I don't have to feel ok to be ok
I wasn't created just to live my life this way
I don't have to feel ok to be ok
And I refuse to live my life this way

If you're like me you lie awake
Scared to death of your mistakes
Somehow coming back to claim your soul
And if you're like me you're wondering
When everybody else is gonna see
All the stupid things you do
To keep the past away from you

The first result of everything we've done
Is living life but never having one

My first impression is I don't think that depression is
The tyrant that we make it out to be
Your life is yours to live for something way more positive
Than what you woke up feeling like today

Don't believe in everything that people try to tell you
And don't buy into everything the market tries to sell you
They have no clue what's good for you
When time is done and hope is gone
We'll still hold on to the truth

Join the fight to save your life
Don't leave it up to everybody else
Join the fight this is your time
You've got to use your mind to save your soul

Don't give into ads that try to tell you who to be
When what you are is obvious for everyone to see
Just take this step to be your self
When time is done and hope is gone
We'll still hold on to the truth

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Don't believe in everything that people try to tell you
And don't buy into everything the market tries to sell you
They have no clue what's good for you
When time is done and hope is gone
We'll still hold on to the truth

Join the fight to save your life
Don't leave it up to everybody else
Join the fight this is your time
You've got to use your mind to save your soul

Don't give into ads that try to tell you who to be
When what you are is obvious for everyone to see
Just take this step to be your self
When time is done and hope is gone
We'll still hold on to the truth

Hallelujah, hallelujah

I have been fading in the dark for too long
Suspended and waiting for some light to turn on
I'm reaching up to make contact
Take away this empty space
I'm so tired of just drifting through the Milky Way

My heart is a star for You to ignite
I'm ready to be the one
That burns for You tonight
So bring me to life
Just like the stars that shine
When galaxies collide

Love is a destination few ever find
But I'm watching our constellations start to combine
Counting down for an impact staring at the sky above
I've had enough of this distance so far from Your love

Happiness is overrated
It always lets me down
It's artificially inflated
She's a flirt and she burns me every time
Happiness is just a dream and nothing's what it seems

Happiness broke my heart
But You caught all the pieces
I thought that I'd found it all
But Your love is so much deeper
Even though my life's a mess
I love You more than happiness

Before I knew it, it was over
Without a kiss goodbye
No more candy hearts and roses
I've got to get this off my chest, I'm done with happiness

Why am I so obsessed?
I'm totally unimpressed
This happiness is getting me down

There's a whisper in the air you breathe underneath the sky tonight there's a piece of you inside my
heart that runs to deep to describe

And your so much more than wonderful so much more than I can see and I could spend forever hoping you'd
be here with me

whwn the world leaves me so winded and with nothing left to say there's an angel in your voice tha tells
me everything's okay

[chorus]

Just like it's snowing in the summertime
Something's different and I can't explain it
It's like I'm breathing in sunshine
It's taken over and I can't contain it

This love is changing me
It brought me to my knees
Now it's teaching me to fly

That's how it feels to be with You
It's like I'm finally alive
That's how it feels to be with You

I always thought I was invincible
I never knew that I was waiting on a breakthrough
My heart was always only half full
Until the moment that I finally found you

It's everything I dreamed
Even more it seems
To fall into your arms

I could never get enough of how it feels
My heart can't deny how it feels

I wish that You would tell me how
You know me well and want to be together
Fallen short and faded out
But You keep making gardens in this desert

Despite the grace that I dismissed
Forgiveness was the catalyst
To penetrate my heart with what is true

It's beautiful
You can turn mistakes to miracles
The way that You still love me after all
It's beautiful

Redeem the years I've thrown away
I'm ready to make good on what I've wasted

I'm asking You to shape my heart
I want to be Your work of art
'Cause when You change me
And make me more like You

So help me God forbid
I never take for granted
This endless gift You give

I've been looking for anything
To point me in the right direction
Time is running out
And I still haven't figured out
Quite how I'm gonna reach perfection

Everybody is laying down the law
They're all amazingly opinionated
I know there must be something more
Than what the world is believing in

I was lost in a place no one wants to be
Trying hard to convince my heart to believe
You were there all along, I just couldn't see
That there's a love in Your arms that's waiting for me

I never bother with the politics
In the end they never really matter at all
So stop telling me who I want to be
Freedom means I make decisions

When everything gets so complicated
Who do I choose to believe?
Religion can be so overrated
But all I know is now I am free

I don't mean to cause mass hysteria It's on it's way and it's probably gonna bury you and there's
nothing much that you can do there's nothing good left to imitate nobody's left now to mediate and
everybody's still got something to prove I can't even tell what's right from wrong will someone please
tell me what's going on

We need more than a revolution somthing deeper than a false solution to replace what's going wrong so
don't look alarmed when everyone's choking suffocated on what there hoping in let's move this along

Don't ask for me to participate I'm just the wrong kind of candidate It's pure hypocrisy that makes me,
me God show me past all this ignorance I can't pretend to be innocent It takes much more tha words to
make a stand

[chorus]

To where we find a passion and not just fake reactions In all the words we choose to say
Cause there's no easy answer when greed became a cancer and now it's eating us away

[chorus]

Tell me all about yourself tell me all about your favorite bands how there super-indie-neo-hardcore tell
me all about your favorite hobbies and the way you love sunsets well who doesn't

Still I'd like the chance to really see if what you say is true and has integrity cause I could know
everything about you and still know nothing at all I know that it's wrong to form an opinion only what I
see but in my defense it's really hard to know whe MySpace is the only thing that you ever show

So it seems you got a lot of friends how many of them know you or even care if your alive or dead? when
was the last time you were honest instead of posting blogs of fake emotions

[chorus]

When you finally resurface to the point of finding purpose we'll begin to see just who you are

We could take this road to nowhere in my `89 and floor it through state lines and we'll reach our
destination whatever it might be as long as you don't leave

Cause I don't ever want to slow this down everything I've ever wanted has been found we could drive into
the future with our memories holding on to all we believe

We could through away our cell phones and only answer calls coming from the stars we could catch a
drive-in movies and let the hours pass cause nothing perfect can last can last

[chorus]

Cause I don't ever want to slow this down everything I've ever wanted has been found we could drive into
the future with our memories holding on to how things used to be

No one ever seems to understand her I don't think that her parents even planned her and everywhere she
goes she feels rejected miscommunication is expected

She's crying for direction lost in her reflection all the while pretending she's alive she's trying not
to show it but everybody knows it but something is just killing her inside

Like a recall on your television screen she was someone you would never want to see and things never
worked out the way she planned every drop of blood she had is on your hands

[chorus]

Maybe someday soon when she's alone she'll decide to take a life that's not her own lying on the ground
beside her gun never knowing she's not the only one all she ever needed was a voice telling her that she
could make a different choice now is not the time cause it's too late what good is god doing you when he
is only faith?

[chorus]

Don't leave me now my memories are more than I can take tonight and God show me how I'm supposed to
trust in things beyond my sight so teach me how to kneel When I don't know how to feel and show me where
you are when my faith can't reach that far

And tell me there is more to this life then only what my heart can see take all these fears make them
into more than who I used to be is my soul to blind too see the truth you have for me cause this I feel
inside is too weak to survive

[chorus]

My heart has left me alone again is this the beginning? Is this the end?
Is this the time you'll never let me in again?

We're not out just to offend the world
But somebody needs to make this known
All of us are full of insincerity
And none of us can admit we're wrong

I've been searching everywhere to find
An explanation as to why
I can't believe in me anymore

So sell your soul, trade in your innocence
There's such a high demand for minds that live in ignorance
We all gave in somewhere along the road
To buying all the mediocrity that we were sold

Everyone is so afraid to die
'Cause everyone believes in truth
But nobody ever really thinks
That what is right for them is right for you

And I just want an answer as to why
No one can look me in the eye
And say what they believe anymore
