LOSING GRIP

Are you aware of what you make me feel, baby?
Right now I feel invisible to you
Like I'm not real
Didn't you feel me lock my arms around you?
Why'd you turn away?
Here's what I have to say
I was left to cry there
Waiting outside there
Grinning with a lost stare
That's when I decided

Why should I care?
Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone
You need to listen
I'm starting to trip
I'm losing grip
And I'm in this thing alone

Am I just some chick you placed beside you
To take somebody's place?
When you turn around can you recognize my face
You used to love me you used to hug me
But that wasn't the case
Everything wasn't ok

I was left to cry there
Waiting outside there
Grinning with a lost stare
That's when I decided

Why should I care?
Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone
You need to listen
I'm starting to trip
I'm losing grip
And I'm in this thing alone

Crying out loud
I'm crying out loud
Crying out loud
I'm crying out loud

Open your eyes
Open up wide

Why should I care?
Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone

Why should I care?
Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone

Why should I care?
If you don't care then I don't care
We're not going anywhere

Why should I care?
Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone

Why should I care?
If you don't care then I don't care
We're not going anywhere

COMPLICATED

Uh huh, life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is
Cause life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh that's the way it is
Chill out whatcha yelling' for?
Lay back it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
you will see
I like you the way you are
When we're drivin' in your car
and you're talking to me one on one but you've
become

Somebody else round everyone else
You're watching your back like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool
you look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why you have to go and make things so
complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody
else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
And you fall and you crawl and you break and you
take what you get and you turn it into honesty
and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no no

You come over unannounced
dressed up like you're someone else
where you are and where it's sad you see
you're making me
laugh out when you strike your pose
take off all your preppy clothes
you know you're not fooling anyone
when you've become

Somebody else round everyone else
Watching your back, like you can't relax
Trying to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why you have to go and make things so
complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody
else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
and You fall and you crawl and you break and you
take what and you get and you turn it into honesty
promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no no

Chill out whatcha yelling for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see

Somebody else round everyone else
You're watching your back, like you can't relax
You're trying to be cool, you look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why you have to go and make things so
complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody
else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
and You fall and you crawl and you break and you
take what and you get and you turn it into honesty
promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no no

Why you have to go and make things so
complicated?
I see the way you're acting like your somebody else
gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break and you take
what you get and you turn it into honesty
promise me I'm never gonna find you flaking
no no no.

SK8ER a BOI

He was a boy, she was a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?

He was a punk,she did ballet
What more can I say?

He wanted her, she'd never tell
secretly she wanted him as well.

But all of her friends stuck up there nose
they had a problem with his baggy clothes.

He was a skater boy, she said see ya later boy
he wasn't good enought for her
She had a pretty face, but her head was up in
space
she needed to come back down to earth.

five years from now, she sits at home
feeding the baby
she's all alone

she turns on tv
guess who she sees
skater boy rockin' up MTV.

she calls up her friends, they already know
and they've all got tickets to see his show

she tags along and stands in the crowd
looks up at the man that she turned down.

He was a skater boy, she said see ya later boy
he wasn't good enought for her
now he's a super star
slamin' on his guitar
does your pretty face see what he's worth?
He was a skater boy, she said see ya later boy
he wasn't good enought for her
now he's a super star
slamin' on his guitar
does your pretty face see what he's worth?

sorry girl but you missed out
well tough luck that boys mine now

we are more than just good friends
this is how the story ends

too bad that you couldn't see
see that man that boy could be

there is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside

He's just a boy, and i'm just a girl
can I make it anymore obvious?

we are in love, haven't you heard
how we rock each others world

I'm with the skater boy, I said see ya later boy
i'll be back stage after the show
i'll be at a studio
singing the song we wrote
about a girl you used to know

I'm with the skater boy, I said see ya later boy
i'll be back stage after the show
i'll be at a studio
singing the song we wrote
about a girl you used to know 

I'M WITH YOU

I'm standing on a bridge
I'm waitin in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
Theres nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but theres no sound

Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you

Im looking for a place
searching for a face
is anybody here i know
cause nothings going right
and everythigns a mess
and no one likes to be alone

Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you

Oh why is everything so confusing
maybe I'm just out of my mind
yea yea yea

It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you

Take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm with you

Take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you...

MOBILE

Went back home again
This sucks gotta pack up and leave again
Say goodbye to all my friends
Can't say when I'll be there again
It's time how to turn around
Turn my back on everything (Turn my back on) everything
Everything's changing when I turn around
All out of my control I'm a mobile
Everything's changing when I turn around
All out of my control I'm a mobile

Start back at this life
Stretch myself back into the vibe
I'm waiting up to say I've tried
Instead of waking up to another TV guide
It's time now, to turn around
Turn and walk on this crazy ground, Oh oh

Everything's changing when I turn around
All out of my control I'm a mobile
Everything's changing out of what I know
Everywhere I go I'm a mobile, I'm a mobile

Hanging from the ceiling life's a mobile
Spinning round with mixed feelings
Crazy and wild
Sometimes I wanna scream out loud

Everything's changing
Everywhere I go
All out of my control
Everything's changing
Everywhere I go
Out of what I know

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la]

Everything's changing when I turn around
All out of my control I'm a mobile
Everything's changing out of what I know
Everywhere I go I'm a mobile
Everywhere I go I'm a mobile

UNWANTED

All that I did was walk over
Start off by shaking your hands
That's how it went
I had a smile on my face and I sat up straight
Oh, yeah, yeah
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you

[chorus]
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
You don't want me there
You just shut me out
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
If you had your way
You'd just shut me up
Make me go away

No, I just don't understand why
you won't talk to me
It's hurts that I'm so unwanted for nothing
Don't talk words against me
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you

[chorus]
Make me go away

I tried to belong
It didn't seem wrong
My head aches
Its been so long
I'll write this song
If that's what it take

[chorus (2x)]
Make me go away
Make me go away.

TOMORROW

And I wanna believe you,
When you tell me that it'll be ok,
Ya I try to believe you,
But I don't

When you say that it's gonna be,
It always turns out to be a different way,
I try to believe you,
Not today, today, today, today, today...

[Chorus:]

I don't know how I'll feel,
tomorrow, tomorrow,
I don't know what to say,
tomorrow, tomorrow
Is a different day

It's always been up to you,
It's turning around,
It's up to me,
I'm gonna do what I have to do,
just don't

Gimme a little time,
Leave me alone a little while,
Maybe it's not too late,
not today, today, today, today, today...

[Chorus:]

I don't know how I'll feel,
tomorrow, tomorrow,
I don't know what to say,
tomorrow, tomorrow
Is a different day

Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, and I know I'm not
ready,
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, maybe tomorrow

Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, and I know I'm not
ready,
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, maybe tomorrow

And I wanna believe you,
When you tell me that it'll be ok,
Yeah I try to believe you,
Not today, today, today, today, today...

Tomorrow it may change [4x]

ANYTHING BUT ORDINARY

Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It\'s my lullaby
Sometimes I drive so fast
Just to feel the danger
I wanna scream
It makes me feel alive

Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I\'d rather be anything but ordinary please

To walk within the lines
Would make my life so boring
I want to know that I
Have been to the extreme
So knock me off my feet
Come on now give it to me
Anything to make me feel alive

Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I\'d rather be anything but ordinary please
I\'d rahter be anything but ordinary please.

Let down your defences
Use no common sense
If you look you will see
that this world is this beautiful
accident turbulent suculent
I\'m feeling permanent
No way I won\'t taste it
Dont wanna waste it away

Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh my self to sleep
It\'s my lullaby

Is it enough?
Is it enough?
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I\'d rather be anything but ordinary please

Is it enough?
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I\'d rather be anything but ordinary please
I\'d rather be anything but ordinary please.

THINGS I'LL NEVER SAY

I'm tugging out my hair
I'm pulling at my clothes
I'm trying to keep my cool
I know it shows
I'm staring at my feet
My checks are turning red
I'm searching for the words inside my head

[Pre-Chorus]
(Cause) I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah

[Chorus]
If I could say what I want to say
Id say I wanna blow you away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say

It don't do me any good
It's just a waste of time
What use is it to you
What's on my mind
If ain't coming out
We're not going anywhere
So why can't I just tell you that I care

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

What's wrong with my tongue
These words keep slipping away
I stutter, I stumble off
Like I've got nothing to say

[Pre-Chorus]

Yes I'm wishing my life away with these things I'll
never say
If I could say what I want to say
Id say I wanna blow you away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
These things I'll never say.

MY WORLD

Please tell me what is takin' place,
Cuz I can't seem to find a trace,
Guess it must have got erased somehow,
Prabablly cuz I always forget,
Everytime someone tells me their name,
It's always gotta be the same.
(In my World)
Never wore cover-up,
Always beat the boys up,
Grew up in a five thousand population town,
Made my money by cutting grass,
Got fired by fried chicken ass,
All in a small town, Napanee.

You know I always stay up without sleepin',
And think to myself,
Where do I belong forever,
In whose arms, the time and place?

[Chorus:]
Can't help if I space in a daze,
My eyes tune out the other way,
I may switch off and go in a daydream,
In this head my thoughts are deep,
But sometimes I can't even speak,
Will someone be and not pretend? I'm off again in
my World

I never spend less than an hour,
Washin' my hair in the shower,
It always takes five hours to make it straight,
So I'll braid it in a zillion braids,
Though it may take a friggin' day,
There's nothin' else better to do anyway.

When you're all alone in the lands of forever,
Lay under the milky way,
On and on it's getting too late out,
I'm not in love this time this night.

[Chorus:]
Can't help if I space in a daze,
My eyes tune out the other way,
I may switch off and go in a daydream,
In this head my thoughts are deep,
But sometimes I can't even speak,
Will someone be and not pretend? I'm off again in
my World

(la la la la)

Take some time,
Mellow out,
Party up,
I don't fall down,
Don't get caught,
Sneak out of the house.

[Chorus:]
Can't help if I space in a daze,
My eyes tune out the other way,
I may switch off and go in a daydream,
In this head my thoughts are deep,
But sometimes I can't even speak,
Will someone be and not pretend? I'm off again in
my World

Can't help if I space in a daze,
My eyes tune out the other way,
I may switch off and go in a daydream,
In this head my thoughts are deep,
But sometimes I can't even speak,
Will someone be and not pretend? I'm off again in
my World.

NOBODY'S FOOL

(Step up, step up)
Step Up
(Step up, step up)
Step Up
(Step up, step up)
(Step up)
Fall back take a look at me and you'll see I'm for real
I'll feel what only I can feel and if that don't appeal to you let me know
And I'll go cause I flow better when my colors show
And that's the way it has to be honestly
Cuz creatively could never bloom in my room
I'd throw it all away before I'd lie so don't call me with a compromise
Hang up the phone I got a back bone stronger than yours

(Step up)
La, la, la, la La yeah
(Step up, step up)
La, la, la, la La yeah
(Step up, step up)
La la la
La, la, la, la La yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

If you're trying to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see I'm not down with that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough and I'm over that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you wanna bring me down go ahead and try! Go ahead and try

Don't know you think you know me like yourself
But I fear that you're only telling me what I wanna hear
But do you give a damn? Understand that I can't not be what I am
I'm not the milk and Cheerios in your spoon
It's not a simple here we go not so soon
I might've fallen for that when I was 14 and a little more green
But it's amazing what a couple of years can mean

(Step up)
La, la, la, la La yeah
(Step up, step up)
La, la, la, la La yeah
(Step up, step up)
Yeah, Yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah!)

If you're trying to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see I'm not down with that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough and I'm over that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you wanna bring me down go ahead and try! Go ahead and try

Go a head and try
Try to look me in the eye
But you'll never see inside
Until you realize

Things are trying to settle down
Just trying to figure out
Exactly what I'm about
If it's with or without you
I don't need your doubt in me

If you're trying to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see I'm not down with that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough and I'm over that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you wanna bring me down go ahead and try! Try!

(Go ahead and try!)
Yeah yeah
(Go ahead and try!)
Yeah yeah
(Go ahead and try!)
Oooooh

Would you be laughing out loud,
If I play it to my own crowd?

(Try!) [extended]
(Go ahead and try)

TOO MUCH TO ASK

It's the first time I've ever felt this lonely
Wish someone would cure this pain
It's funny when you think it's gonna work out
Till you chose weed over me you're so lame!
I thought you were cool until the point
Up until the point you didn't call me when you said you would
Finally figured out you're all the same
Always coming up with some kind of story

Everytime I try to make you smile
You're always feeling sorry for yourself
Everytime I try to make you laugh
You can't you're too tough
You think you're loveless
Is that too much that I'm asking for?

Thought you'd come around when I ignored you
Sorta thought you'd have the decency to change
But babe I guess ya didn't take that warning
Cause I'm not about to look at your face again

Can't you see that you lie to yourself?
You can't see the world through a mirror
It won't be too late when the smoke clears
Cause I, I am still here

But everytime I try to make you smile
You always go out feeling sorry for yourself
Everytime I try to make you laugh
You'd stand like a stone
Alone in your zone
Is that too much that I'm asking for?

Can't find where I am
Lying here alone in fear
Afraid of the dark
No one to claim alone again

(Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah)

Can't you see that you lie to yourself?
You can't see the world through a mirror
It won't be too late when the smoke clears
Cause I, I am still here

Everytime I try to make you smile
You're always feeling sorry for yourself
Everytime I try to make you laugh
You can't you're too tough
You think you're loveless
Is was too much that I asked him for

NAKED

I wake up in the morning
Put on my face
The one that's gonna get me
Through another day
Doesn't really matter
How I feel inside
This life is like a game sometimes
Then you came around me
The walls just disappeared
Nothing to surround me
Keep me from my.. fears
I'm unprotected
See how I've opened up
(Oh!)
You've made me trust

Cuz I've never felt like this before
I'm naked around you
Does it show?
You see right through me
And I can't hide
I'm naked around you
And it feels so right

Yeah yeah

I'm trying to remember
Why I was afraid
To be myself
And let the covers fall away
Guess I never had someone like you
To help me fit
In my skin

I've never felt like this before
I'm naked around you
Does it show?
You see right through me
And I can't hide
I'm naked around you
And it feels so right

I'm naked
Oh oh yeah
Does it show?
(yeah)
I'm naked
Oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, Yeah Yeah!

Oh oh
I'm naked around you
Does it show?
I'm so naked around you
And I can't hide
You're gonna,
You're gonna see right through
(you see right through me and I can't hide)
You're gonna see right through
(I'm naked around you)
Oh yeah yeah

I'm so naked around you
And I can't hide
You're gonna see right through baby
