The Starting Line Album

Awwww,
Break down!

I've been breaking sweats in the night-time
I was growing my hair
And I could not care
What they think
Cause my eyes were turned up
Like you tore open the ceiling
I've been singing songs in the night-time
I was banging my head
And I could not care
What they think
I said don't open the door
Even if you hear me screaming

I built a raft and got carried away
In my new direction
And there's where I stay
Cause, you should have known
That this boy wasn't grown
So you can go away,
Go away
If you want to leave,
If you want to leave

Now get down!

I was catching glimpses of bright lights
And they attracted my steps
'Till I was so scared
Of what could be
Hidden underneath the rocks
So we're never in position
I was singing songs of a lost mind
But I am still with my friends
So I am not scared
Of anything
I said "don't open the door
Even if you hear me screaming"

I met a boy who got carried away
In my direction
And there's where he stays
Well, you should have known
That this boy wasn't grown
So you can go away,
Go away
If you want to leave

And now don't you hide
'Cause you've got a treasure to find
So shed those leaves that you lie underneath (underneath)
And now don't you stray,
If you feel that you've lost your way
Share this feeling that came over me (over me)

Break down!

I've been breaking sweats in the night-time
I was growing my hair
And I could not care
What they think
I said
"Don't open the door, even if you hear me screaming!"

I am the boy who got carried away
In my new direction
And there's where I stay
Well, you should have known
That this boy wasn't grown
So you can go away,
Go away
If you want to leave
If you want to leave

Woohoohooo

You should have known
That this boy wasn't grown
So you can go away,
Go away
If you want to leave
If you want to leave

We're all just everyday people,
And there's a part of you connected with everyone else
And there's me and there's you.
Oh no.
This plot can get so confusing.
Oh, if you only knew.
If I could I'll take you with me but I'm here and you're there.
Oh no.

Are you alone? Oh no.
Are you alone?

I'll say it so you can hear me.
It's a lonely truth:
"I've been spending all my time by myself without you."
Oh no.

Are you alone? Oh no.
Are you alone?

And if you are let me hear it.
And if you're not make you say to yourself
You're so lucky as hell.
Have you ever needed help when you've been all by yourself? (Yeah)
Have you ever been home when everyones gone?
Are you alone?
Oh no.

Are you alone? Oh no.
Are you alone? Are you alone?
Are you alone?
Are you alone? Oh no.
Are you alone?

Let's sail away
Find our own country
We'll build a house and beds out of palm trees
Let's get away
Let's push our lives aside

I'll sport a smile
Take in some color
Under the stars
I'll be your lover
With no distractions I'm gonna treat you right

Well it seems like things are only getting better
Well it seems like we can never catch a break

Just a keep a hold on me don't let go
If you float away, if you float away
Waiting too long for a ship to come
Don't you float away, don't you float away

Let's go to bed
Let's stop debating
Look at the time
We're always waiting
But we're in love
And that should be just fine

Well it seems like things are only getting better
Well it seems like we can never catch a break

Just keep a hold on me don't let go
If you float away, if you float away
Waiting too long for a ship to come
Don't you float away, don't you float away
[x2]

And if you like (and if you like)
and if you like some other time
I would like to introduce you to the finer things
If we survive (if we survive)
If we survive, get out alive
I'd like to say how beautiful I think you...

Just a keep a hold on me don't let go
If you float away, if you float away
Waiting too long for a ship to come
Don't you float away, don't you float away

I wrote a note to my future ghost
Quoting words I've spoke
And that I meant only half the time
Now I only speak between grinding teeth
And my constant sleep
Cause that's the pace that I've got to go

So run along cause you had best be on your way

Don't worry just hurry
Cause you have got a lot to lose here
But I'm catching up on that lost sleep
Do I have a lot to lose

I am a man with my task at hand
And my swollen glands
And just a couple of days to go
Until I'm on a stage
With my voice and bass
And all my choices made
And all the places I've got to go

So run along cause you had best be on your way

Don't worry just hurry
Cause you have got a lot to lose here
But I'm catching up on that lost sleep
Do I have a lot to lose
Don't you just worry just hurry
Cause you have got a lot to lose here
But I'm catching up on that lost sleep
Do I have a lot to lose

So run along cause you had best be on your way
Well run along cause you had best be on your way
Well hey hey hey

Now don't you worry just hurry
Cause you have got a lot to lose here
But I'm catching up on that lost sleep
Do I have a lot to lose

Don't you worry just hurry
Cause you have got a lot to lose here
But I'm catching up on that lost sleep
Do I have a lot to lose

I've got stars in my great big sky
I shall gaze upon without leaving small ones behind
Because they're harder to find
Some were satellites, others planes
Some were twinkling while others were fading away
But they're all one of a kind

Oh it's not that interesting
But I'd like to keep it a secret
So I'll have something left to give
It's not that difficult when you've got a luck of this kind
We've got to take advantage, we've got such limited time
Oh I wonder, oh I wonder
How long to take me to die
Oh it's not that interesting
But I'd like to keep it a secret
So I'll have something left to give

And I'll hear my children and grandchildren sing
Blah la la la da da da
Blah la la la da da da
Blah la la la da da da
Blah la la la da da da

It's not that interesting but I'd like to keep it a secret
So I'll have something left to give
In my remaining years
When I am old and plain lazy
I'll have a little something left to give
To all those who loved me so much
I'd like to return the favor
And have something left to give

And I'll hear my children and grandchildren sing
Blah la la la da da da
Blah la la la da da da
It's not that difficult when you've got a luck of this kind
Blah la la la da da da
Blah la la la da da da
To all those who loved me so much, I'd like to return the favor
Blah la la la da da da
Blah la la la da da da
I wonder oh i wonder, how long to take me to die
Blah la la la da da da
Blah la la la da da da
It's not that interesting but I'd like to keep it a secret
And have something left to give

Spend the day in your bed taking medicine
If that's the only thing that keeps you calm
Well one of these days you've gotta get up
And get out
There is a purpose for all of my sitting here
If you can't understand well you could
If you could just stretch your attention span
Now, for this song

I hope that this is what you will want
Cause my throat will be the first thing to go
And I hope that some day I'll hear everyone say

Is that all you've got
Turn it up keep it coming
Cause I've got the words
To keep the birds humming

Well there's gotta be something
There's gotta be something wrong
Well there's gotta be something
There's gotta be something wrong

Spend your life with a pen and a microphone
You wrote down everything that you could
In case someone gives them a second glance
Now for this long

I hope that this is what you will want
Cause my throat will be the first thing to go
And I hope I'll remember when everyone says

Is that all you've got
Turn it up keep it coming
Cause I've got the words
To keep the birds humming

Well there's gotta be something
There's gotta be something wrong
Well there's gotta be something
There's gotta be something wrong
With everyone

Is that all you got
Turn it up, keep it coming
Cause I got the words
To keep the birds humming

Well there's gotta be something
Well there's gotta be something wrong
Well there's gotta be something
Well there's gotta be something wrong

Is that all you got
Turn it up, keep it coming
Cause I got the words
To keep the birds humming

Well there's gotta be something
Well there's gotta be something wrong
Well there's gotta be something
Oh there's gotta be, there's gotta be

There seems to be no difference,
Between present tense and the pretense.
Cause it's all a part of what you've been trying to say.
Well you've got all the right reasons
To write red hot rants for the weekend,
But they're not a part of what you've been trying to say.

They say you lost your way.
(You're way with words)
The right way to go.

You've lost your way with words or at least that's what I heard.
You've lost your way with words and to me what could be worse?
What could be worse?

When your father passed down his wisdom,
Sometimes I think he must've spilled some
Cause you lost the sight of what you've been trying to say.
And I know that nobody's perfect,
Well no one would want to sound desperate
Unless that's a part of what you've been trying to say.

You've lost your way with words or at least that's what I heard.
You've lost your way with words and to me what could be worse?
What could be? What could be worse?

Oh, you could dance around.
Dance around with nothing to say.

You've lost your way with words at least that's what I heard.
You've lost your way with words.

You've lost your way with words or at least that's what I heard.
You've lost your way with words and to me..
Yeah to me to me to me...
What could be worse?

I sleep to outliving this way
Cause I live so well everyone should be re paid
From all the east coast to west coast states
From the atlantic bench to the san francisco bay
But I'm really not to sure
How this came to happen
But I know that I'm not so concerned

Because all I wanted was all I could take
And some stood up while the others had to wait
Oh, I took my turn and I will state my case
But I could be wrong

From all the east coast to west coast states
I wanna feel the warmth from the buzz that I create
But I'm really not too sure
If it's ever gonna happen
But I know that I'm not too concerned

Because all I wanted was all I could take
And some stood up while the others had to wait
Oh, I took my turn and I will state my case
But I could be wrong

I could be wrong
Yeah but I could be wrong

Because all I wanted was all I could take
And some stood up while the others had to wait
Oh, and I took my turn and I will state my case
I took my turn and I will state my case
Cause all I wanted was all I could take
And some stood up while the others had to wait
Oh, and I took my turn and I will state my case
Oh I took my turn and I will state my case
But I could be wrong
Yeah but I could be wrong
Yeah I could be wrong

If this is worth my time then ill be here for awhile
If this is worth your while then you're making me smile
If I say oh I am I still is all you want
Then I'm not sure how much in common we've got
If you think you've had enough, if you think you've had enough

Somebody's gonna miss us when nobodies here for this song
Somebody's gonna miss out when nobodies had in the club?

Cause this is no attempt to abandon anyone
It is the influence of the music we love
Well If you cant relate and refuse to sing along
Then maybe I can interest you in some other song
A little something like
All that you want is another baby yeah

Somebody's gonna miss us when nobodies here for this song
Somebody's gonna miss out when nobodies had in the club?
Well oh my
If its gonna take time its gonna mean that all of my all of my mistakes aregonna be solved
and we're gonna be great

Somebody's gonna miss us when nobodies here for this song
Somebody's gonna miss out when nobodies had in the club?
Somebody's gonna miss us when nobodies here
Here for this song and I hope they will
Somebody's gonna miss out when nobodies here

North-bound train on a Saturday
Here I come, New York City
Been deep in thought, on a little sleep
Distance took my love away
Do you need to love?
Do you need to love?
Do you need to love someone?

I stare at strangers subtly
Reading and softly speaking
When Princeton 'not sure what he says' sits by me
Sir, can I ask you something?

Do you need to love?
Do you need to love?
Do you need to love someone?

Sometimes when there is no one
To love you back all the time
When you're in need
And desperate to fall asleep
Well ain't it wild, though aren't you tired?
Oh, isn't it making you lose your mind?

Do you need to love?
Cause I think I need to love
Do you need to love someone?

I want something more than all my possessions,
Something I wanna share with everybody else.
It will be brilliant both to elderly and children,
And be different in a way that can be embraced.

If this is what you want,
Then I'm gonna get it to you.
Cause I wanna show you things,
That you never knew, (That you never knew)
If this is what you want,
I'll get closer to you.
And then I'll make you sing,
Cause that's what you do, oh.

So was it worth it, the way I had every word?
It seems like I bit off a little more than I could chew
I've got a big mouth, yeah but maybe that's true,
I could never know for sure until it gets to you.

If this is what you want,
Then I'm gonna get it to you.
Cause I wanna show you things,
That you never knew, (That you never knew)
If this is what you want,
I'll get closer to you.
And then I'll make you sing,
Cause that's what you do, oh.

I wanna make it feel better,
About the fact that you've made,
The bet you've placed on the lonely boys from the Keystone state.
Was it worth it?
It's only gonna get better.
I think we're gonna be safe,
If we can keep holding on and on to hope for this long.

If this is what you want,
It's what I'm gonna get to you.
Cause I wanna show you things,
That you never knew, (That you never knew)
If this is what you want,
I'll get closer to you.
And then I'll make you sing,
Cause that's what you do, oh.
