Allister Lyrics

So they say there's a better way to make it
A 9 to 5 is the only way you'll make it
But I don't know if I can take another day of this
Working overtime to save up for tomorrow
While all their promises keep ringing out so hollow
Now they're taking all the bonuses away from me

I've spent a fucking lifetime picking up the pieces
trying to get ahead but I'm still defeated
I never even wanted this at all anyway

Cuz it's been 5 years of medications
5 years of accusations
5 years enslaved in misery
5 years of dedication
5 years of aggravation
5 years enslaved in misery

It's all the same as we get a little older
Nowhere to go and too late to start all over
You're just a number when you're working for the company
So play along while they rave about the stock price
And pretty soon you'll be buying into their lies
Conformity is now rewarded with the guarantee

That I'll spend a fucking lifetime picking up the pieces
Trying to get ahead but I'm still defeated
I never even wanted this at all anyway

Nowhere to run to and now there's nothing
that will make everything be alright
Once you know that you're never as important as the bottom line

A Thousand Miles Away lyrics - Allister

Tied up all the loose ends here,
and the West Coast calls me to come find a new life
Got stuck in this suburban town
and it's finally time to, just leave it behind
turn up the music and drive!

A thousand miles away from here
where ocean air, and opportunities awaits
If life is what you you make of it
then just head out, and leave the rest of it to fate

Been trapped in the same routine
When a new world's waiting outside of these walls
Overthink and you'll never leave
and what's the worst that happens, if things didn't work out
could turn back or keep moving on!

Haley lyrics - Allister

Haley stands like a warm ray of sunshine
Outside the West Oakland club on a cold night
Two lips of blood red and eyes like a wildfire
Burning like a signal through the night

She bats her eyes while she's lighting up a cigarette
Like some aristocratic socialite

She's the one who gets underneath your skin
She'll bury deep inside of your mind
She'll wait for the right time to take you by the hand
You'll fall in love all over again

Haley stands in the glow of the streetlight
Stiletto heels and a smile that could stop time
And when she talks it's like music to my ears
A perfect melody in perfect time

She bats her eyes while she's lighting up a cigarette
A debutante out on a Friday night

She keeps my head spinning around again
Running circles round and round again

Oh Haley, she's the one that makes you feel so fine
Until you're left holding a postcard stamped in time.

Stuck Powered On lyrics - Allister

I lay down for the night, and rest my weary eyes
Hoping tonight things might change
But in this darkness my thoughts start to multiply
and sanity slowly slips away

And as the sun starts creeping through the cracks between the shades
it calls me out to battle through another day

I just need one more hour to sleep
Sweet relief from the demons in my mind

I toss and turn, but still nothing seems to work
Can't turn off, these nervous thoughts, and though
I'm shutting down my mind's stuck powered on

I peel my body up and pour myself a cup
Go through the motions of the day
and try to figure out a way to reconcile
the two sides at war inside of me

As seconds turn to minutes, and hours into days
My thoughts evaporate into the haze of real life dreams
I need to clear my mind of everything, so that I can get some sleep

Drive lyrics - Allister

Breathe so I can feel you on me
and trust in everything you believe
There's a million different reasons why I should hold back
But I've come to far to sever it all
Do or die I've taken the fall

And so let's drive under cover of a blood red sky
Another mile until we finally step out from the darkness of the night
We'll wave goodbye to the former lives we'll leave behind
As they fade away into the rear view while all these streetlights pass by

Wait just for a while and you'll see
This could be everything that you need
It's the perfect ending to a life of promises and ideals that have fallen apart
now this time it's right from the start

So drive with me to the end of the road we're on
Ride this out until we end up alone
Fate is all that we can make of it
What do you want to make of it tonight?

Pretty Damn Close lyrics - Allister

The first time I saw you it was just my imagination
The next time I saw you it was just another illusion
Now I wish you could be here in my reality
But I know you're just a dream
Cuz I see you when I'm wasted and passed out on the floor
And I think about you everyday

Gina you don't know, you couldn't know it
But you are the one for me
I bet you that you don't know, I'm gonna show you
That you are the one for me

The first time I saw you it was just my imagination
The next time I saw you it was just another illusion
Now I see you lying with me every single night
and I wonder what it's like to be yours

But I'm not sentimental and I don't know what to say
But I'll come pretty damn close

Yeah you, you're driving me insane now cuz you're real...
I come pretty damn close

Tethered To The Wall lyrics - Allister

Becoming slaves to the latest craze
Before we've seen it, we're sure we need it
And mail's replacing conversation
Human contact's been in danger
(But look how far we've come)

Falling further back with the latest breakthroughs
Sterilized the way we're communicating
Anonymity to accomplish on PC
What we now can't do for real

Point, click, order now
No need to leave the house
Technology's providing the freedom for us all
To be tethered to the wall

We've started living through posted pictures
And gaining meaning through others feedback
The kids are learning, preparing early,
From what they see, for a life behind machines
(Life behind machines)

Falling further back with the latest breakthroughs
Sterilized the way we're communicating
Anonymity to accomplish on PC
What we now can't do for real

Point, click, order now
No need to leave the house
Technology's providing the freedom for us all
To be tethered to the wall

Even when we're out with friends
There're whole groups with lowered heads
They're hypnotized in fluorescent glow
We're out together, but we're still alone

The past few years we've come so far
Wonder where we'll be in ten or twenty more...

Something Better lyrics - Allister

Well I'm sitting here just writing words in the pages of my mind
Nothing's gonna change I'm sure and I know that I'm just wasting my time

But I'm stuck inside this daze, I wish there was a way
That you could help me out but you just don't understand
The way I feel about today

Cause I know there's something better, I know there's something new
And I know there's something out there for me too

I've been sitting here just killing time drinking off another night
Trying to make up for the years gone by that never seem to turn out right

Cause I'm stuck inside this daze, I wish there was a way
That you could help me out but you just don't understand
The way I feel about today

Cause I know there's something better, I know there's something new
And I know there's something out there for me too
Yeah I know there's something better, I know there's something new
And I know there's something out there for me too

Cause I'm stuck inside this daze, I wish there was a way
That you could help me out but you just don't understand
The way I feel about today

Cause I know there's something better, I know there's something new
And I know there's something out there for me too
Yeah I know there's something better, I know there's something new
And I know there's something out there for me too

If You Didn't Mean It lyrics - Allister

When everything that comes from your mouth is
Overwhelmingly sarcastic
It's time to lower your defense
'Cause if you keep going on like this
I'll never know what to believe

If you didn't mean it, then why did you say it?
If it's what you want, then why all the games?
At the edge of what I can take
And the least you can do is give it to me straight

When everything is life or death,
Your words have started losing their effect
I can't keep being forced to guess
'Cause if you keep going on like this
I'll never know what to believe

If you didn't mean it, then why did you say it?
If it's what you want, then why all the games?
At the edge of what I can take
And the least you can do is give it to me straight

And as the camera pans out
The picture comes in clear
I guess we've always known
But pretended not to see it
We've all just wanted someone
To find a little comfort in
But if we can't get past this by now
We never will

You keep going on like this
I'll never know what to believe
I'm never gonna understand
If you won't ever let me in

If you didn't mean it, then why did you say it?
If it's what you want, then why all the games?
If you didn't mean it, then why did you say it?
If it's what you want, then why all the games?
At the edge of what I can take
And the least you can do is give it to me straight

Live Fast Die Young lyrics - Allister

Through breakdowns, shakedowns, arguments and fistfights and black eyes
We made our way down unfamiliar highways to get by
Passed street signs, white lines, set out underneath a blackened sky
These ghost towns, fair grounds, cityscapes and bar tabs pass the time

We'd raise a glass every single night
We cut up the road with the same mentality

Live fast, die young we said
It's a motto for the weak-willed
But a slogan shouted in sincerity

Through breakdowns, shakedowns, arguments and fistfights and black eyes
We made our own rules and broke them all just trying to survive

A million miles an hour with summer's virgin hearts on fire
We headed for a crash course in disaster
Now it's a miracle we made it out alive
And I can say I wouldn't trade it for the world

Goodnight, sleep well
So long, farewell
This is only goodbye

Perfect Harmony lyrics - Allister

Round and round with same songs that we've always played
This dissonance gets resolved then circles back again
Our discordance has overpowered the clarity of words
Still we both keep turning up, just fighting to be heard

And maybe one day we'll carve out a space
Where the notes can all fall into place
And if we learned how, to keep with the beat
We could carry on in perfect harmony

There was a time when we'd find some sort of common ground
But now it's like, you and I've been playing different songs
We both keep turning up, just fighting to be heard

And maybe one day we'll carve out a space
Where the notes can all fall into place
And if we learned how, to keep with the beat
We could carry on in perfect harmony

Loco-Motion lyrics - Allister

Originally by Little Eva

Everybody's doing a brand-new dance, now
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
My little baby sister can do it with me
It's easier than learning your A-B-C
So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me

You gotta swing your hips, now
Come on, baby
Jump up
Jump back
Well, I think you've got the knack
Whoa

Now that you can do it, let's make a chain, now
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
A chug-a chug-a motion like a railroad train, now
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
Do it nice and easy, now, don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me

You gotta swing your hips, now
Come on, baby
Jump up
Jump back
Well, I think you've got the knack
Whoa

Move around the floor in a Loco-motion
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
Do it holding hands if you get the notion
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
There's never been a dance that's so easy to do
It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue

Come on, do the Loco-motion [x10]

Failure lyrics - allister

It's just another wasted day another wasted year
I'm stumbling and falling crashing on despair
I'm just another nobody whose time has just passed by
I'm just another failure so tonight I'll make it all right

It's just another wasted breath on another cigarette
My world is wrapped inside frustration and regret
I'm just another nobody whose time has just passed by
I'm just another failure so tonight I'll make it all right

I'm dying, I'm trying to stay in control
You're stealing my feelings
Don't leave me alone
Someone save me tonight and I'll be all right.

Runaway lyrics - allister

Now that the hardest part is done
We'll have to face another one
And figure out what we'll both do and where

Each offer seems to promise new ways to separate us both
And I don't care what others think is best, I can't just watch you go

If we can stick together, we'll never be alone

We'll run away
Just leave this place
If you're here next to me there's nowhere I'd rather be

So we'll start tonight
Just leave behind
the lives we used to know and venture out to make it on our own

It'll just be harder if we wait.
More settled in with every day
It makes more sense for us to both start new

And the worst thing I'd imagine is to be stuck like this at home
And it might be rough at first but we'll have stories when we're old

If things start to break, we'll pack up and find another way
Settle down again and if it's not working out, we'll just take a different route.

Dance With Me lyrics - allister

Do you wanna dance with me baby
Come along we can do this all night
I'll take you by the hand maybe spin you right around
til we're feeling alright til we're feeling alright
We can jitterbug on down that line
maybe do the waltz in 3/4 time
Just get out on that floor we can do this all night

The band's got rhythm they've got style
They're gonna kick this party all night so let's go...

We're gonna dance the night away
We're gonna dance the night away
Let's dance, let's dance
Let's dance, dance, dance the night away

Do you wanna dance with me baby
Come along we can shake it all night
We can do the jump baby we can do the jive
til we're feeling all right
I'll make you strut in double quickstep time
Shimmy up and down the Samba line
Just get out on that floor baby do this all night

The lights are going down the mood is right
I can see it in your eyes that you are mine tonight
I'll pull you close, and never let you go
So pull me close and never let me go

All We Needed lyrics - allister

Million miles from home,
and I finally meet someone like you,
but we'll just be separated soon
you say don't overthink,
and that we should try
and make the most of this time before it goes

I knew when this had started,
how it'd end I knew when this had started, how it'd end
But I can't live life in hiding, and I don't regret a thing

All we needed was time
Countdown now until the morning light
And the ocean divides
Thrown back to the lives we left behind

Can't help but think of all the things we could've had

We just never got a chance

As we said our goodbye's, s,
I had to fight the urge to up and move,
and start over here with you.
Maybe it wouldn't work,
and this whole thing was just meant to be left as a memory.

I knew when this had started, how it'd end
But I can't live life in hiding, and I don't regret a thing

All we needed was time
Countdown now until the morning comes
And the ocean divides
Turning us into strangers once again
Can't help but think of all the things we could've had
We just never got a chance

promised you some day I'd make it back again,
but even if I did, would it ever be the same

Breathe For You lyrics - allister

You fought a long, long losing war
You've seen a time of better days
Yeah but through it all, you stood up tall
You never cowered in fear
You'd always ante up when times were tough
You never gave up on me
In this wicked game of life and death
I would play my hand if I could

I'd breathe for you [x4]

You've seen it all, it's all come and gone
Through the smiles and bitter tears
Through all the endless nights you'd stay up fighting
Just to make it until dawn
Another round of shots, a bigger pot
Lies on the table waiting
In this wicked game of life and death
Let's throw down our hands in glory

I'd breathe for you [x4]

Ain't it funny how life passes in the blink of innocent young eyes
So many names and faces change while others just lay back in disguise
I hope you never thought that I was just another rotten fair-weather friend
Let's try to make up for lost time let's make this last until the end
Until the end...

Make It Work lyrics - allister

That's the sound of the last threads starting to fray
If we don't watch out we'll fall down the rest of the way

If it continues on like this, then there'll be nothing left for us to fix

What we, both need, is time apart before it gets any worse
We might, just find, we're better off, or learn how to make it work

As the flame makes it's way to the end of the rope
if we don't do something soon than it's gonna explode

Been together long enough, to know sometimes
we need a little space once in a while to breathe.
I know this time was bad but I think that we should wait a couple days,
take a few steps back and think before we throw it all away

Can't Let Go lyrics - allister

The needle spinning on this broken record feels just like a sentimental heartbeat
Keeping time with all the memories from the past
Going over now it's choking all the thoughts that feed the pulse inside of my head
So take a number stand in line so you can die to watch your mistakes
Mistakes....

This voice will sing out now for the last time
Feels like I'm running in circles, I got nowhere left to go
This song wants to ring out now for the last time
It's played over and over but I'm too scared I can't let it go

The stories spinning from the mouths up at the bar are wearing thin and going nowhere
They're getting stale just like the sour drink in my hand
It's got me thinking I'm about to turn my back and get the fuck right out of this town
So order up another round so you can wash away your mistakes
Mistakes...

I've watched these kings in battle with jealous eyes afire
Only to have their cities
Conquered and left in ruins, the walls they built to fall
The masses rise up and they take it all
Take it all..

Can't let it go......

Yearbook lyrics - allister

They say elders gain the wisdom of years
As time goes by, I fear...
growing up and feeling like the best years are done
Spend life waiting for things that never come, and...

Hope
When living through the memories of youth
Hope
When repetition guides you
Hope
When wondering how you wound up this way
I hope the wisdom's worth the wait

Life's mold gradually enfolds you
Uniqueness given up to be accepted by your peers
Come in from your 9 to 5
Hang your coat and tie
High School yearbook's still on the nightstand...

Salutations and "How's your day been?"
routine superficial conversations
Gotten too deep, but somehow you keep
working to afford another day you'll live to hate

I hope I never fall in line
I've seen it one too many times

Free lyrics - allister

Now it seems I've fallen victim to the same disease that's
eaten up the world
Our generation's gonna fall apart if we continue to be
pushed around
So now it's time to make a change
We gotta lock down and rearrange
And reject the fundamentals of society

The time has come to live my life
I'm gonna break out and do what I like
And I don't care what you say or think about me
Yeah, yeah

Now it seems we've fallen victim to hypocrisy and
Bureaucratic lies
They got us brainwashed
So we don't stand up and fight for what we think is right

So now it's time to make a change
We gotta lock down and rearrange
And reject the fundamentals of society
The time has come to live my life
I'm gonna break out and do what I like
And I don't care what you say or think about me
Yeah, yeah
Cause it's easy when you're free
Yeah it's easy when you're free
Yeah it's easy when you're free
Yeah it's easy when you're free

Yeah it's easy when you're free
It's easy when you're free
It's easy when you're free
Yeah it's easy when you're free
It's easy when you're free

Start Somewhere lyrics - allister

When it feels like everything you've built
Is busting at the seams and soon will all come crashing down
Build support or start from scratch again
Move ahead to find your way around

Cause the route that you took was misleading,
and you made some mistakes on your way last time around
So here's your second chance to

Be strong up against attack
Just know you can always build it back
And even the hardest times eventually will always pass

Sometimes it can seem unfair
But nothing will change just standing there
Every battle that's worth fighting had to start somewhere

Use the wreckage as a starting point.
Or move on and start again somewhere you've never been
End result will be the same each way
Play it safe or reinvent again.

And there's always two sides with different ideas
And compromise isn't easy
It seems the cycle never ends
But you know it's alright to sit for awhile,
and think about where you went wrong
If you just get back up again

Diamond Ring lyrics - allister

I don't have the looks and I don't have the money
I don't have no diamond ring
I don't have a job and I don't have a car
and I can't give you everything

But you are the one that I need
I know that you're perfect for me
So please give me just one more chance to get this right
and you'll see

Because tonight, you're all I want to night [x4]

I don't go to school, I ain't got no diploma
I don't have no GED
I don't have no stocks and I don't have a Trust Fund
Don't have much of anything

And now it seems I can't go five minutes without thinking of you
Or wishing I was hanging out with you tonight

Tokyo Sunrise lyrics - allister

I woke up yesterday 20,000 miles from home
Got a picture postcard from you in my pocket
I woke up yesterday with a burning in my soul
Got this feeling that I might be losing something
that could make my whole world come alive

Have I been a fool for loving you?
How so quickly our hearts collide
Just one look from your eyes and I knew
I would need you the rest of my life
Just one touch from your hand makes me shiver all over inside

I've been waiting for your call
from clear across the ocean
to carry me back home so I can finally rest my head for one more night
Yeah I am begging for one moment
to fall into your arms so I can find
Everything real we both shared that summer night

I woke up yesterday in this cold, downtown hotel
got a cigarette still burning in my hand
Through my window I watched these trains roll by again
I've been staring at nothing just hoping for something to take me away

Don't think that I wouldn't walk a thousand miles or
Pull the stars out of the sky
Just to have you in my life
We'll take it slow we'll take it easy for a while
Then we'll show the world....

I'm feeling so lonely watching this Tokyo sunrise....

To Be With You lyrics - allister

Hold on little girl
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you

I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
Wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to show you

I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwhile
And I can make you start to smile

When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you

I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

Yeah, Just to be the next to be with you

I Saw Her Standing There lyrics - allister

Well she was just 17,
You know what I mean,
And the way she looked was way beyond compare.
So how could I dance with another (ooh)
When I saw her standing there.

Well she looked at me, and I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her.
So how could I dance with another (ooh)
When I saw her standing there.

Well, my heart went boom,
When I crossed that room,
And I held her hand in mine.

Whoah, we danced through the night,
And we held each other tight,
And before too long I fell in love with her.
So how could I dance with another (ooh)
When I saw her standing there.

Well, my heart went boom,
When I crossed that room,
And I held her hand in mine

Whoah, we danced through the night,
And we held each other tight,
And before too long I fell in love with her.
So I'll never dance with another (whooh)
When I saw her standing there
Yeah, Since I saw her standing there [2x]

Sakura lyrics - allister

Pacts we have made, while planning for the day
That we might get a chance to meet again
I'll wave and nod, while parting down these city streets
that Cherry Blossoms hedge

Though we have forged through good times and through bad
You always kept a smile on your face
And when this world would try to drag me to the ground
I find strength in those days

And through these misty depths
I faintly still detect
That melody we used to hold so dear

Sakura, Sakura
Full and clinging to the trees
Knowing soon their fate is near, but holding
strong throughout the breeze
So, farewell my old friend, it's time for us to go
With unchanging hearts we'll both continue on… from here

Now it's as though, I have the strength to say,
the words that I have longed to speak to you,
From here on out, I wish you nothing but the best in everything you do.

This bustling cityscape,
that's changing every day,
feels as though it's rushing us along

Sakura, Sakura
Slowly drifting from the boughs
With the hopes that they'll be born again, while floating to the ground
Please don't shed any tears, but it's time for us to part
Show me again that simple smile of yours

Sakura Sakura
Lightly dancing through the sky
Bathing in the ever present glowing of these city lights
So farewell my old confidante, Let's meet like this again,
on the same paths where Cherry Blossoms fall…once more.

Heaven Is A Place On Earth lyrics - allister

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

When the night falls down
I wait for you
And you come around
And the world's alive
With the sound of kids
On the street outside

When you walk into the room
You pull me close and we start to move
And we're spinning with the stars above
And you lift me up in a wave of love...

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

When I feel alone
I reach for you
And you bring me home
When I'm lost at sea
I hear your voice
And it carries me

In this world we're just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby I was afraid before
But I'm not afraid anymore

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

Waiting lyrics - allister

Well lately
It seems i've wasted every single opportunity
To get this right
And maybe
It's all because the inspiration
That's inside of me
Has been denied
From all I want
And all I need tonight

So come with me
Just take my hand and
I'll make sure to show you everything
We'll trace these lines.
Of empathy and
Self destruction to avoid responsibility
I'll bite my tongue
For all I want
And all I need

So I'm holding out
For a piece of good advice
To get me through this
To help me face another night
We'll set a course for the end of time
And maybe then I
Will finally get this whole thing right

Well lately
It seems I've wasted every single opportunity
To get this right
And maybe
It's all because the inspiration
That's inside of me
Has been denied
From all I want
And all I need

So I'm holding out
For a piece of good advice
To get me through this
To help me face another night
We'll set a course for the end of time
And maybe then I
Will finally get this whole thing right

It's all I want
It's all I need
It's all I want
It's all I need

So I'm holding out
For a piece of good advice
To get me through this
To help me face another night
We'll set a course for the end of time
And maybe then I will finally
Get this whole thing right

D2 lyrics - allister

Locked down and alienated
Confused and complicated
Now it seems you still have my heart
Shot down and unaccepted
Sometimes i get the feeling everything was finished from the start

But I'm scared of what I'll find
The search for answers just keeps going nowhere
All I know is that its killing me inside
As I raise this final bottle to the sky

Here's to promises that die
Here's to all the nights we've said our last goodbyes
As we burned another day off all our lives
Here's to memories that will fade, like the photographs that scream of better days
It's all weighing on my mind

Knocked down and devastated
Refused and understated
Now I see how you stole my heart
Now I'm forced to breathe without you
Sometimes I get the feeling everything is tearing us apart

But I'm scared of what I'll find
The search for answers just keeps going nowhere
All I know is that its killing me inside
As I raise this final bottle to the sky

Here's to promises that die
Here's to all the nights we've said our last goodbyes
As we burned another day off all our lives
Here's to memories that will fade, like the photographs that scream of better days
It's all weighing on my mind

But I'm scared of what I'll find
The search for answers just keeps going nowhere
All I know is that its killing me inside
As I raise this final bottle to the sky

Here's to promises that die
Here's to all the nights we've said our last goodbyes
As we burned another day off all our lives
Here's to memories that will fade, like the photographs that scream of better days
It's all weighing on my mind, weighing on my mind
Weighing on my mind

A Lotta Nerve lyrics - allister

Close the door, turn off the light
You'll never see the bloodshot eyes
Cause you never come around
The pictures that had lined the halls
I smashed and threw against the wall
Yeah you tore them all down
Because you never come around
So maybe one day
I can get the thought of you
Out of my head

You gotta lot of nerve to grab my heart and rip it out
You gotta lot of nerve to show me what your all about
You gotta lot of nerve to hold me then forget me
Like a bad dream

Traded me in hopes to find
Some happiness in one more lie
Yeah you had it figured out
Was there a hint of honesty
In anything you said to me
Yeah I wrote it all down
So I could scream it out loud
And maybe one day
I could hold it up above
Your pretty blonde head

You gotta lot of nerve to grab my heart and rip it out
You gotta lot of nerve to show me what your all about
You gotta lot of nerve to hold me then forget me
Like a bad dream

Made me promise that you'll try
You told me everything is gonna be fine
Again the second time
I hope its not another lie.
You figured it out
Tore it all down
I locked it all up
So I could scream it out loud

You gotta lot of nerve to grab my heart and rip it out
You gotta lot of nerve to show me what your all about
You gotta lot of nerve to hold me then forget me
Like a bad dream
Like a bad dream
Like a bad dream
Like a bad dream

From The Ground Up lyrics - allister

We built this up together on a shaky ground
Before too long it started crumbling down
So I got out before the whole thing hit the floor
But you knew better I'd be back for more
And when I finally did it was strange to see
That you rebuilt it with no help from me
The same foundation but the rest is new
You made this, it belongs to you

It all went by too fast
No time to react
Once you have fired the shots
They can't be taken back

You spread your roots and anchored into all of me
The ground is soft but there's no room to breathe
You had to push and force into abnormal growth
We could have trimmed it if we took it slow
But from the highest branches there's much thinner air
And things look different when you're way up there
Now all I want is you to come back down
And start again on level ground

It all went by too fast
No time to react
Once you have fired the shots
They can't be taken back

I went and left you for dead
But you just got up again
And every fight just seems to make you stronger
I tried to tear this apart
But it was blown from the start
'Cause you just had to grab the ball and run

From the highest branches there's much thinner air
And things look different when you're way up there
Now all I want is you to come back down
And start again on level ground

It all went by too fast
No time to react
Once you have fired the shots
They can't be taken back

It all went by too fast
Never could react
Once you have fired the shots
They can't be taken back

Blackout lyrics - allister

It's frightening
How you can see the changes happening
When they move so fast
And lightning
Except the odds are growing
These lonely times will strike me twice
The screams of 1,000 voices
Are whispers inside my head
The echoes of self defense

So how many times will it take
To cover up the past mistakes
And hide behind a crying you face of shame
And how many nights will I hide
and blink under the blackened skies
I've cursed out so many times

Its biting
when the cold wind blows through weathered eyes
and blistered skin
it's quiet now
it's like the calm before the raging violence of the storm begins
and when this comes crashing down
I'll fall harder than before
I'll start this all over now

So how many times will it take
To cover up the past mistakes
And hide behind a crying face of shame
And how many nights will I hide
and blink under the blackened skies
I've cursed out so many times before

I'll beg for the ending or just for forgiveness
I'll wait in the shadows of a battle I'm close to losing

So how many times will it take
To cover up this smiling face of silence
This face of shame
And how many nights will I hide
and blink under the blackened skies
I've cursed out so many times before

Rewind lyrics - allister

Conversation died last night
On the heels of another fight
And you had so much more to say
And now my telephone is blind
I put my final on rewind
To hear my music going on and on and on

There's nothing in this world that touches me like you do
It helps me to unlock emotions I never knew
It's never gonna change
It's always gonna feel this way until I can't hear it anymore

I've been in love
I've been in love
Since I turned on my stereo

Remember silence died last night
Cut off by these city lights
Leaving so much more to say
I've walked these streets 1,000 times
With these songs locked up inside
It helps to keep me moving on and on and on

There's nothing in this world that touches me like you do
It helps me to unlock emotions I never knew
It's never gonna change
It's always gonna feel this way until I can't hear it anymore

I've been in love
I've been in love
Since I turned on my stereo

You make me
You save me
You make me
You change me

There's nothing in this world that touches me like you do
It helps me to unlock emotions I never knew
It's never gonna change
It's always gonna feel this way until I can't hear it anymore
Until I can't hear it anymore

I've been in love
I've been in love
Since I turned on my stereo

2 A.M. lyrics - allister

It's 2 A.M. and I'm not asking too much else tonight
So I light a cigarette
And watch the flame burn to my fingers as I think and reflect
On the years that have gone by
And now I'm feeling like a king
With one breath I'll take it all
Into my head I wont forget all of the times that we shared
We watched a good friend fade away
Just like our future on our own no destinations in life
Only thing that's kept the same
But I'm still feeling like a king
And there's just one thing to say

I will wait for you while you wait for me
And I'll meet you somewhere in between.

It's 4 A.M. and I am just about to end this night
Cuz I'm out of cigarettes
I'll watch the stars burn through my window as I think and reflect
On the years that have gone by
But I'm still feeling like a king
And there's just one thing to say

I will wait for you while you wait for me
And I'll meet you somewhere in between.

Time is running circles inside my head
4 years of memories I wont forget
And time running out
Times running out
Times running out to say goodbye
[x3]

I will wait for you while you wait for me
And I'll meet you somewhere in between.

You Lied lyrics - allister

Walking by your house
I wonder if your home
Then I see the light turn on
And I think I should go
A place where I can stay
And think about the days
That we were holding hands
And time would fade away
Now those days are gone
I don't know what went wrong
Was it something I said
Or maybe I waited too long
To open up my eyes
And finally realize
That everything you said was just another fucking lie
So now it's over and my life's turned upside down
My head is spinning but I can't hear a sound
That's when I think to myself

Now that I've made sense of all this
I hope it kills you to think of what you missed
You don't mean anything to me
I'm never gonna get the years back

The summer's almost gone
And here we are as friends
To sing the same old song
That we've heard time and time again
It's never gonna change
Words all stay the same
So I will turn my back and then we'll go our separate ways
'Cause now those days are gone
I don't know what went wrong
Was it something I said
Or maybe I waited too long
To open up my eyes
And finally realize
That everything you said was just another fucking lie
So now it's over and my life's turned upside down
My head is spinning but I can't hear a sound
That's when I think to myself

Now that I've made sense of all this
I hope it kills you to think of what you missed
You don't mean anything to me

Now that I've made sense of all this
I hope it kills you to think of what you missed
You don't mean anything to me
I'm never gonna get the years back
[x4]

I'm never gonna get the truth behind the lies
There's nothing left to find
So here's my last goodbye

Now that I've made sense of all this
I hope it kills you to think of what you missed
You don't mean anything to me

Now that I've made sense of all this
I hope it kills you to think of what you missed
You don't mean anything to me
I'm never gonna get the years back
[x8]

Study In Economics lyrics - allister

Chalk it up to the public's request for a style that they just don't understand
Chalk it up to the difference between the industries supply and demand
Say please with the stab of a knife to the heart of what you've always believed
Well I'll pull that bloody knife back out and wave it at the pessimism in me

Say goodbye to all the preconceptions that you had
Say goodbye to everything you know
Take the time and draw the line to what you have and what you think you'll find
Cause I know
Let's hear it for lack of origination
It's all the same thing if you look at it right
I can tell you without any hesitation
That this will not survive

So what's the catch what's the trick to the trade
Is it luck or is it all just a game
What's the rule for the pile of charades
Is it all about what's in a name
Say please with the stab of a knife to the heart of what you've always believed
Well I pull that fucking knife back out and wave it at the pessimism in me

Say goodbye to all the preconceptions that you had
Say goodbye to everything you've known
Take the time and draw the line to what you have and what you think you'll find
Cause I know
Lets hear it for lack of origination
It's all the same thing if you look at it right
I can tell you without any hesitation
That this will not survive

Three cheers for the loser generation
It's all the same thing if you look at it right
I can tell you without any hesitation
That this will not survive
Tonight

Let's hear it for lack of origination
It's all the same thing if you look at it right
I can tell you without any hesitation
That this will not survive

Three cheers for the loser generation
It's all the same thing if you look at it right
I can tell you without any hesitation
That this will not survive
No this will not survive
So kiss it all
Goodnight
Kiss it goodnight
Kiss it goodnight
Kiss it goodnight

Suffocation lyrics - allister

There's something buried deep between these lines that you will never see
It's something that they don't want us to figure out
Were suffocating under all the lies and picture perfect smiles
The presidents and photographs in magazines
And no ones listening

We are the lives that will decide the state of desperation
Divided by a sense of doubt
We'll fight for you
We'll break the rules
We'll write this indignation
Until it all comes crashing down

There's something wrong when television is the basis for our lives
They want us to believe in everything we see
It's getting harder now that all the innocence has passed us by
Now everybody wants to get something for free
And no ones listening

We are the lives that will decide the state of desperation
Divided by a sense of doubt
We'll fight for you
We'll break the rules
We'll write this indignation
Until it all comes crashing down

And everybody wants the truth
But they're too scared to face it
They just don't accept what's happening
We just sit back and watch the world destroy itself when
We all know something's wrong

We are the lives that will decide the state of desperation
Divided by a sense of doubt
We'll fight for you
We'll break the rules
We'll write this indignation
Until it all comes crashing down
Until it all comes crashing down

Easy Answers lyrics - allister

16 kid and just in the scene
But you've learned you have to play their games
Sold out through the chemical route because its easier to pass the blame
Instead of listening they pawn it off on someone else
To try their hands at easy answers

Take these push the buttons and tweak
Manufacturing a new disease
Lump sums making zeros and ones
As your forced into dependency
Instead of listening they pawn it off on someone else
To try their hands at easy answers

Giving up and taking it back to
Square one every morning
And you can't get out of bed
Daily rush to reformat again
Going through the motions
Forget and fall back down
Normal's not the norm you're used to now
Instead of listening they pawn it off on someone else
To try their hands at easy answers

Giving up and taking it back to
Square one every morning
And you can't get out of bed
Daily rush to reformat again
Going through the motions
Forget and fall back down
Normal's not the norm you're used to now

Climbing up a wall that never ends
Close your eyes
Swallow and give in

The Legend Of Pegleg Sullivan lyrics - allister

1871 was the year underneath an October sky
When a windy city man had set out with a plan to set a fire but nobody knows why
So Pegleg headed out back with a match and a bucket of kerosene
Little did he know that the wind would blow through the streets with anarchy

Pegleg didn't have an alibi
He didn't have a story to tell
But he bought his one way ticket straight to hell
Cuz he burned the whole damn city
Watched it all go down
Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground
yeah he burned that beautiful city
He torched that beautiful town
Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground

Flames spread fast every night
While they passed through the alleys and the dead end streets
From suburban doors to the lakefront shore demolishing everything
And pegleg never got blamed for the mess made
Said he never broke the law
But all that remained was the charred black stains
Proving every things his fault

Pegleg didn't have an alibi
He didn't have a story to tell
But he bought his one way ticket straight to hell
Cuz he burned the whole damn city
Watched it all go down
Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground
yeah he burned that beautiful city
He torched that beautiful town
Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground

Of all the books printed on his terrain
None raised the flag on one mans legacy
Now everybody knows the truth of the stories being exposed
So Pegleg's going down in infamy.

Cuz he burned the whole damn city
Watched it all go down
Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground
yeah he burned that beautiful city
He torched that beautiful town
Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground
[x3]

Potential Suicide lyrics - allister

She sits at home and tries to remember all the days when everybody said nothing could bring her down
Now she's found that she can't stand the site of her reflection in the windows of this beat up old town
She's packing all her problems Into a carry-on bag
She's packing all of her sorrow into one less silver box labeled memories

And every night that she's alive
Is a potential suicide
And all the teardrops that she cries wont help her

she goes to bed at night just to wake up to a nightmare and a headache that will never go away
She's doing time and hating every minute of it blaming everything on something she can't escape
She cries and she cries
But no one ever listens
She doesn't understand why she can't slow down
She's packing all her problems Into a carry-on bag
She's packing all of her sorrow into one less silver box labeled memories

And every night that she's alive
Is a potential suicide
And all the teardrops that she cries wont help her
And all the pain she's kept inside
Doesn't help to cleanse her mind
From all the heartache and the frustration tonight
And now it feels like she's been dealt a shitty hand
She's headed eastbound but she doesn't understand

And every night that she's alive
Is a potential suicide
And all the teardrops that she cries wont help her
And all the pain she's kept inside
Doesn't help to cleanse her mind
From all the teardrops that she cried

And every night that she's alive
Is a potential suicide
And all the teardrops that she cries wont help her
And all the pain she's kept inside
Doesn't help to cleanse her mind
From all the heartache and the frustration tonight

Alone lyrics - allister

I've been driving this road for the third straight day
These are thoughts from the past not to pick my brain
And now I feel like screaming to the world
Cuz this highways going nowhere
And the lines have all been blurred
By the rain that's falling down in front of me
So I clear the windshield just to find
Another cross to mark the passing of a life
It's a crystal clear reminder
That all things come to an end
And I wonder when that end will come for me

When the lights go down
And the clocks time out
And the bells just don't chime anymore
Is it tragedy that we can't see
What lies on the other side of every single smile

I've been asking myself for the third straight night
If there's truth in the writings that shape our lives
Now I feel like screaming to the world
Do these sermons run in circles
Are they spoken by design
To erase the thoughts of insecurity
And maybe were just never meant to find
The answer to the question we've all kept inside
Give me something to believe in
Give me anything at all
Cuz right now this world just feels like its too small

When the lights go down
And the clocks time out
And the bells just don't chime anymore
Is it tragedy that we can't see
What lies on the other side of every single smile

I won't cry
Not tonight
I won't back down without a fight
I won't cry
Not tonight
I won't back down

When the lights go down
And the clocks time out
And the bells just don't chime anymore
It's a tragedy that we can't see
Our lives on the other side of every single smile

When the lights go down
(I wont cry
Not tonight
I won't back down without a fight)
And the clocks time out
I won't back down without a fight
(I wont cry
Not tonight
I won't back down without a fight)
And the bells just don't chime anymore
It's a tragedy that we can't see
I won't back down without a fight

Scratch lyrics - allister

I've been sitting here for hours
Burned an image of you in my mind
Finding comfort in the words you say
But it's not the same
I know you're worth the wait
And I can't explain
What I'm going through inside
But I would turn away the world
Just to have you here with me tonight

We can take our time
Making sure that everything feels right
It won't be easy but I'm not afraid
You're so far away
We made our start from scratch
It's now or never but we can't look back
I need you with me for another day
You're so far away
Yeah far away

I've been sitting here forever
Your voice is resonating in my mind
Countless hours with you on the phone
And now I'm not alone
I know you're worth the wait
But I can't escape
What I'm going through inside
But i would turn away the world
Just to have you here with me tonight

We can take our time
Making sure that everything feels right
It won't be easy but I'm not afraid
You're so far away
We made our start from scratch
It's now or never but we can't look back
I need you with me for another day
You're so far away
Yeah far away

I know there's no time left for second chances
Still we're right despite these circumstances
You've changed me more than you could ever know
So we will just hang on until tomorrow
So take my hand, don't ever let me go
This time it's right

We can take our time
Making sure that everything feels right
It won't be easy but I'm not afraid
You're so far away
We made our start from scratch
It's now or never but we can't look back
I need you with me for another day
You're so far away
Yeah far away

Radio Player lyrics - allister

there's a broken needle scratchin my 45 collection
through a burned out, blown 2-speaker combination

there's nothin left to do but crank it up loud
it's pumpin through my head and it's knockin me out
it doesn't really matter what's goin on now
cause all i wanna do is

keep the radio playin all night long
we left the radio playin all night long
because the radio's playin all my favorite songs

there's a broken CD player in the backseat of my car
next to the pieces of what's left from my first guitar

there's nothin left to do but crank it up loud
it's pumpin through my head and it's knockin me out
it doesn't really matter what's goin on now
cause all i wanna do is

keep the radio playin all night long
we left the radio playin all night long
because the radio's playin all my favorite songs

we left the radio playin all night long
we left the radio playin all night long
because the radio's playin all my favorite songs

some people say
that my radio is dead
but i won't let myself believe it

we left the radio playin all night long
we left the radio playin all night long
because the radio's playin all my favorite songs

we left the radio playin all night long
we left the radio playin all night long
because the radio's playin all my favorite songs

we left the radio playin all night long
we left the radio playin all night long
because the radio's playin all my favorite songs

we left the radio playin all night long (the radio, the radio)
we left the radio playin all night long (the radio, the radio)
because the radio's playin all my favorite songs
(the radio, the radio songs)

Flypaper lyrics - allister

Walk home
drowning these memories in the rain
Biting my lip
to transfer this pain

You're gone
and I'm still going through withdrawl
Next time around
I'll build a stronger wall

You broke my guard with guiltless eyes
Devoured me like a virus from inside
And came back just to salt the wounds
Now thanks to you...

I start runnin now
(I start runnin, I'm runnin away from you)
I start runnin away
When I get too close I'm scared to stay
I start runnin now
(I start runnin, I'm runnin away from you)
I start runnin away
Now others pay for your mistakes

You needed
more attention than I gave
Instead of talking
you just played games

And smiled
as my whole world became unstitched
I wish I'd known
you could be such a heartless bitch

You broke my guard with guiltless eyes
Devoured me like a virus from inside
And came back just to salt the wounds
Now thanks to you...

I start runnin now
(I start runnin, I'm runnin away from you)
I start runnin away
When I get too close I'm scared to stay
I start runnin now
(I start runnin, I'm runnin away from you)
I start runnin away
Now others pay for your mistakes

I start runnin now
I start runnin away
When I get too close I'm scared to stay
I start runnin now
I start runnin away
Now others pay for your mistakes

I start runnin now
(I start runnin, I'm runnin away from you)
I start runnin away
When I get too close I'm scared to stay
I start runnin now
(I start runnin, I'm runnin away from you)
I start runnin away
Now others pay for your mistakes

Overrated lyrics - allister

Well I think the time has come
to tell you how I feel about everything
thats been inside my mind
since the day we crossed
the line into this real life fantasy
cause I poured my heart into
the last 3 years of wondering
what I should do
should I cash the check
and trade in what I thought I knew
your promises don't help to make it easier

Cause the last thing that I need is somebody like you
to push me around and tell me what to do
I know theres a time and place where you can call the shots
but it's not here

Cause I poured my heart into
the last 3 years of wondering
what I should do
should I cash the check
and trade in what I thought I knew
your promises don't help to make it easier

Because the last thing that I need is somebody like you
to push me around and tell me what to do
I know theres a time and place where you can call the shots
but it's not here

Cause I think this whole life is just overrated
this whole life is too complicated
this whole life is just overrated now
this whole life is just overrated
this whole life is too complicated
this whole life is just overrated now

I don't remember what you said to me that night
so I just signed the dotted line

Cause now I find out this whole life is just overrated
this whole life is too complicated
this whole life is just overrated now
this whole life is just overrated
this whole life is too complicated
this whole life is just overrated now

Better Late Than Forever lyrics - allister

I'm writing this song to tell you that I'm sorry
Because I know you never thought that I'd be away so long
I know its unfair to ask for you to wait for me
But I don't have a real job and youre ready to move on

And its hard to keep my balance when you look the other way
So I'm letting go with every breath I take in

So many reasons I need something more to believe in
The time has come to turn and walk away
Through all these changes, mistakes
There was time now its too late
There's nothing more that I could say to you

I'm writing this song to tell you that its over
Your jealously took you way too far this time
Another day comes, I'm better off without you
So now take a deep breath and get on with our lives

And its hard to keep my balance when you look the other way
So I'm letting go with every breath I take in

So many reasons I need something more to believe in
The time has come to turn and walk away
Through all these changes, mistakes
There was time now its too late
There's nothing more that I could say to you

So what good is today
If there's not gunna be a tomorrow?
It's too much for me to take
I know you don't wanna wait forever
Just remember that life without us won't be the same

So many reasons I need something more to believe in
The time has come to turn and walk away
Through all these changes, mistakes
There was time now its too late
There's nothing more that I could say to you

The One That Got Away lyrics - allister

You left a guy who told you where to be and when
I was with a girl who tried to sleep with my best friend
We both took comfort in each others messy lives
Finding warmth on that cold November night
We swore it'd be years before we brought that on again
Days later you said that we should be more
than just friends
I let my guard down cause the feelings were so strong
But acted stupid and that's when he came along

It's been so long
I should just move on
There's other fish in the sea
But I keep hoping that you'll swim back home to me

We'd sneak out and go swimming late at night
You're one of few who can say they've seen me cry
You got my quirkiness and awkward sense of humor
We shared Simpson quote and started made up rumors

If night turned into day you'd hide me from your mom
I could never fight with you cause you were never wrong
This time especially the blame is all on me
If I'd not screwed things up I wonder where we'd be

One day for no reason I broke our date
So you made other plans that day
And that's when you met him
And why you're still with him today

I keep hoping you'll swim back home to me
I'm just glad I got a chance to know you
You'll forever be the one that got away

Racecars lyrics - allister

I met this girl the other day
Sitting alone on the Wednesday train
I said what's wrong you look so sad
She said she's got something inside
That she's not willing to confide
So I said can I give some free advice

Don't worry about your problems now baby 'cuz
They just don't matter when it comes down to the fact
That everybody's got problems now baby
And life's too short to keep them bottled up inside

'Cuz I know
When life feels like a racecar speeding down
It's one way street
That I'll go
Anywhere that feels like heaven down this one way street
'Cuz I know that everything will be fine.

I met this guy the other day
Sitting alone on the Sunday train
Dressed up with nowhere left to go
He said if there's one thing that I've learned
Thru all these cigarettes I've burned
You've got to stop and look around
He said that hindsight's clearer than a crystal ball
If he had the chance he would stop and do it all over again
'Cuz when you're waiting for the sound of the gavel
You don't want it to end with a fistful of regrets inside

'Cuz I know
When life feels like a racecar speeding down
It's one way street
That I'll go
Anywhere that feels like heaven down this one way street
'Cuz I know that everything will be fine.

'Cuz I know
When life feels like a racecar speeding down
It's one way street
That I'll go
Anywhere that feels like heaven down this one way street
'Cuz I know that everything will be fine.

Matchsticks lyrics - allister

I've been waiting for the right time to tell her how I feel
I've been waiting so long to say what's on my mind
But I just don't think she's gonna understand
That we could watch a stupid movie
While I hold her by the hand
Stay up all night talking but we'll never get the chance
So I wrote these words so maybe she'll understand

That I've been staying up all night
Waiting for a phone call
Staying up all night
Praying that I don't fall
Madly in love with this girl that's gonna break my heart
(she'll break my heart every time I see her)

I guess it's t he right time to tell her how I feel
It's my one last shot to say what's on my mind
But I just don't think she's gonna understand
That I would drive all night just to see her for a day
Make another broken promise
If she says that I could stay
So I wrote these words so maybe she'll understand

Every time I see her smile that smile
I think that maybe she had saved that one for me
Then I realize that I'm going crazy
Or maybe it's just my imagination working overtime
On a girl that's gonna break my heart

Camouflage lyrics - allister

Hiding in back and never make a sound
If you don't speak your thoughts
They can't be turned around
You lead a targeted youth
Can't find the courage to leave your shell yet

Finding short term courage in a flask
Another wasted day you're never getting back
You lead a targeted youth
Would only talk to certain few
Can't find the courage to leave your shell yet
Torn apart and...

Camouflaged in the background and holding things deep
Never showing your true self to the kids you meet
Finding shade in imagination
One more day forgotten to the world

Hiding in back and never make a sound
If you don't speak your thoughts
They can't be turned around
You lead a targeted youth
Would only talk to certain few
Can't find the courage to leave your shell yet
Torn apart and...

Camouflaged in the background and holding things deep
Never showing your true self to the kids you meet
Finding shade in imagination
One more day forgotten to the world

(One more day forgotten to the world)

Finding short term courage in a flask
Another wasted day you're never getting back

Don't Think Twice lyrics - allister

Take these promises I've made
And hold them strong
Don't think twice about those things that I did wrong

Cause I'd never do something intentionally just hurt you
And I've stared at the sky
and I've asked myself why you've become like an angel to me

Still the days and the weeks and the hours go by
and the minutes they just fade away
And I'm missing you every second in time
And it hurts cause you're so far away
All tears that I cry when you're not by my side
And those nights I dream of kissing you goodnight
Are on my mind

Somewhere On Fullerton lyrics - allister

Somewhere down on Fullerton
there's a place we used to go
to get away from it all
Somewhere down on Fullerton
there's a place we used to go
to get away from it all

But I'm still trying
just to figure out why
this feels so wrong
when it felt so right
Felt so right four years ago

So please don't go away
Won't this feeling
stay with me forever,
forever, I said
"please don't go away
I just want you to
stay with me forever"

Somewhere down on Fullerton
there's a place that meant
so much to everybody like me
Somewhere down on Fullerton
there's a place that meant
the world to everybody like me

But I'm still trying
just to figure out why
this feels so wrong
when it felt so right
Felt so right four years ago

So please don't go away
Won't this feeling
stay with me forever,
forever, I said
"please don't go away
I just want you to
stay with me forever"

But I'm still trying
just to figure out why
this feels so wrong
when it felt so right
Felt so right four years ago

So please don't go away
Won't this feeling
stay with me forever
forever, I said
"please don't go away
I just want you to
stay with me forever"

Forever, I said
"please don't go away
Won't this feeling
stay with me forever"
Forever, I said
"please don't go away
cause all I want is
you to stay with me"

Westbound lyrics - allister

Drive through nights on empty roads
Hoping the clubs promote our show
Wasting days in endless naps
Find new ways to fill the gaps

Another word game with the band
Another losing rummy hand
Another night slept in the van

I'm forced awake again in time to take the stage (the van)
And as my dream world fades another takes it's place (the van)
I look into the crowd and see myself through stares (the van)
Back when I hoped someday I'd be the one up there (the van)

Reading to save our numbing minds
Meeting new friends we'll leave beind
Lay on the loft and trace the stars
Start the day in no ones arms

Another night without a sell
Another meal at Taco Bell
Another story I can tell

I'm forced awake again in time to take the stage (I can tell)
And as my dream world fades another takes it's place (I can tell)
I look into the crowd and see myself through stares (I can tell)
Back when I hoped someday I'd be the one up there (I can tell)

2, 3, 4!!!

I'm forced awake again in time to take the stage
And as my dream world fades another takes it's place
I look into the crowd and see myself through stares
Back when I hoped someday I'd be the one up there

I'm forced awake again in time to take the stage (up there)
And as my dream world fades another takes its place (up there)
I look into the crowd and see myself through stares (up there)
Back when I hoped someday I'd be the one up there (up there)

Know It All lyrics - allister

Well you think you know it all
You think that you deserve the best,
but I've got news for you
Your bullshit smile can't pass this test
Cause there's somethin that I've wanted to say
I've wanted to say to you, woah
I've been waiting to say to you, woah
for so long

This time I'm ready
I'm ready for somethin new
This time I'm ready
I'm ready for somethin new

Now I get sick of listening to your whining and cries
Cause you may have found success,
but your still living life out lie
Now I can't wait for the day that you will burn out
and fade away, woah
You'll burn out and fade away from the world (woah)

This time I'm ready
I'm ready for somethin new
This time I'm ready
I'm ready for somethin new

Why can't I understand your superficial views (woah),
but I can understand I can't take much more of you?

Fuck you, I'm ready
I'm ready for somethin new
Fuck you, I'm ready
I'm ready for somethin new

Stuck lyrics - allister

late night
long day
somehow it's never quite enough
and maybe
i'm lazy
it's been so long sometimes i feel like giving up

so now i'm staying up all night
cause i'm trying to understand
why i feel like i've been stuck here forever
i'll break out today
i'm throwing my life away
you don't even know
i'll break out today
i'm throwing my life away
you don't even know

maybe
i'll get through
just one more day of feeling dumb
i don't think
i need to
get over this until i feel like growing up

so now i'm staying up all night
cause i'm trying to understand
why i feel like i've been stuck here forever
i'll break out today
i'm throwing my life away
you don't even know
i'll break out today
i'm throwing my life away
you don't even know

i'll break out today
i'm throwing my life away
you don't even know
i'll break out today
i'm throwing my life away
you don't even know

Waiting For You lyrics - allister

If I could tell you one thing
Then I'd tell you everything
I'd probably say that you've been on my mind
Since we held hands out in the rain
Smoking cigarettes to play
Off all the butterflies I had inside

And now I think that you should know
That you've got everything
That I've wanted for so damn long
And that I wouldn't hesitate to trade away everything
If you tell me that I'm not wrong
So now I think that you should know
That I've been waiting for you (whoa)
Yea, I've been waiting for you (whoa)
Yea, I've been waiting for you (whoa)
Yea, I've been waiting for you (whoa)
Yea, I've been waiting for you

If I could tell you one thing
Then I'd tell you everything
I'd probably say that you've been on my mind
Since we sat underneath the stars
as I held you in my arms
Killing just another summer night

And now I think that you should know
That you've got everything
That I've wanted for so damn long
And that I wouldn't hesitate to trade away everything
If you tell me that I'm not wrong
So now I think that you should know
That I've been waiting for you (whoa)
Yea, I've been waiting for you (whoa)
Yea, I've been waiting for you (whoa)
Yea, I've been waiting for you (whoa)
Yea, I've been waiting for you

It's funny how the best things happen sometimes
And how I'll always remember those endless nights
But don't forget I regret the fact that I have to leave you
Right as the best part starts
So I thought I'd take the time to say

That I've been waiting for you (whoa)
Yea, I've been waiting for you (whoa)
Yea, I've been waiting for you (whoa)
Yea, I've been waiting for you (whoa)
Yea, I've been waiting for you (whoa)
Yea, I've been waiting for you (whoa)
Yea, I've been waiting for you (whoa)
Yea, I've been waiting for you (whoa)
Yea, I've been waiting for you
Yea, I've been waiting for you
Yea, I've been waiting for you

Jimmy's Dreamgirl lyrics - allister

jimmy's just a bum
who wants to hold on to the past
he tries to be a tough guy
but dumb kids come in last
he says he'll win her heart
his love life is a mess
he calls his dream girl destiny
and she calls him obsessed

he says he'll take my girl away
but i don't really care
and i don't worry
i know that he wants her
but it's plain to see
that jimmy's dreamgirl
she's in love with me

jimmy calls his dream girl
on the phone real late at night
he says that they were meant to be
and she lets him know she's mine
he offers her his haircut
his nice shoes
a b-ball game
all i've got is my guitar
this band and half a brain

he says he'll take my girl away
but i don't really care
and i don't worry
i know that he wants her
but it's plain to see
that jimmy's dreamgirl
she's in love with me

he says he'll take my girl away
but i don't really care
and i don't worry
i know that he wants her
but it's plain to see
that jimmy's dreamgirl
she's in love with me

Residential Burglary lyrics - allister

it was just another boring friday night
when things got a little out of control
a record player and some cds
is what he stole

well he claims he wiped the finger prints
clean off the stolen goods
but it's too bad he didn't hide the evidence
because he's going to jail
andy is going to jail

now he's sitting in jail
with a drunk and a wifebeater
he says the food tastes weird
and the cell smells like piss and beer

now he claims he wiped the finger prints
clean off the stolen goods
but it's too bad he didn't hide the evidence
because he's going to jail
andy is going to jail

Moper lyrics - allister

it's late at night
and all i can think about
is how i went to work
and just sat around
and wasted my whole day
time goes by
and soon we forget about
the way we looked
the dumb things that mattered
as our lives just slipped away

i mope around
like there's nothing to do
another day
and i'm looking for something new
i can't understand why i'm feeling this way
memories come but they just fade away

it's late at night
and all i can think about
is how i went to work
and just sat around
and wasted my whole day
time goes by
and soon we forget about
the way we looked
the dumb things that mattered
as our lives just slipped away

i mope around
like there's nothing to do
another day
and i'm looking for something new
i can't understand why i'm feeling this way
memories come but they just fade away

and i'm looking for something new
i can't understand why i'm feeling this way
memories come but they just fade away

Jacob Thinks I'm Gay lyrics - allister

jacob sits outside the door
and runs into the class when i sit down
he takes a seat right next to me
i never thought about it until now

and even if a boy likes me
it's not the end of the world
he may be a really nice guy
but i only like girls
on the computer i got a letter
jacob says he wants to know me better
a little flattering
but way too strange
that jacob thinks i'm gay

jacob walks right up to me
before i get a foot out of the door
he takes a second look at me
i guess he wanted just a little more

and even if a boy likes me
it's not the end of the world
he may be a really nice guy
but i only like girls
on the computer i got a letter
jacob says he wants to know me better
a little flattering
but way too strange
that jacob thinks i'm gay

Na Na Na Na Na...

and even if a boy likes me
it's not the end of the world
he may be a really nice guy
but i only like girls
on the computer i got a letter
jacob says he wants to know me better
a little flattering
but way too strange
that jacob thinks i'm gay
