The American Scene - Last Chopper Out Of Saigon
Tell me what it was you think you missed the most,
Was it the city lights reflecting off the coast?
Or my self-destructive style?
You could hear me sing for miles and miles and miles,
About the hand that I was dealt being so unfair
Oh my god, just to think I’d be caught at square one once again,
And I know how that sounds
But I swear to God that I’ll be coming back around again…
I think I’m almost fine for the first time in a long time.
I’m finding out why none of this made sense when I was on my back.
I started picking up the slack that I let float away over the past 365 days.
We were spending late nights on the phone,
After months without a single call back home.
And for a second I thought you were making me okay
But, then I took a step back and remembered all the wasted days.
Maybe everyone’s right, maybe I spent too much time
Collapsing in on myself.
I think I’m done collapsing in on myself.
I think I’m almost fine for the first time in a long time.
I’m finding out why none of this made sense when I was on my back.
I started picking up the slack that I let float away over the past 365 days.
I’ll take a step out of my mind;
Draw open the blinds; let the world back in once again,
‘Cause I spent a summer making promises I never planned to keep.
I spent the spring before in bed wanting nothing more than to stay asleep.
She said, “Just settle down a little, settle down kid…
Just settle down a little, settle down…”
Alright, I’ll settle down a little, I’ll turn my shit around…
Yeah, I’ll settle down a little, and turn my shit around!
I think I’m almost fine for the first time in a long time.
I’m finding out why none of this made sense when I was on my back.
I started picking up the slack that I let float away over the past 365 days.
fun. - At Least I’m not as Sad (As I Used To Be)
Have you ever wondered about our old nu-metal friends and what became of them?
Turns out I saw them a couple of days ago,
They were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing.
C’mon, can you count all the notches in your belt?
I’d rather not, let’s just say I’m starving myself.
Baby, put your name down on a piece of paper,
I don’t want no savior baby, I just wanna have a good time
Oh, oh, At least I’m not as sad as I used to be.
And they said,
“Hey Nate, yeah, it’s been a while,
Are you gonna sing?”
And I began to smile and I said,
“You should’ve seen me a couple of years ago,
I was laughing and drinking and smoking and singing.”
C’mon can you count all the loves that didn’t last?
It’s such a gas when you bring up the past.
Baby, put your name down on a piece of paper.
I don’t want no savior baby
I just wanna get it out.
Oh oh, oh, At least I’m not as sad as I used to be.
Oh oh, oh, At least I’m not as sad as I used to be.
At least I’m not as sad as I used to be.
And they say we would’ve seen you two years ago
Had you stuck around or come out to a show,
But youth’s taken over by rock and roll,
While we were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing….
So I left, That is it. That’s my life, Nothing is sacred.
I don’t keep friends,I keep acquainted,
I’m not a prophet, But I’m here to profit.
That’s all, I’m gone! That’s my life, Nothing is sacred.
I don’t fall in love, I just fake it.
I don’t fall in love. I don’t fall in love.
As Tall As Lions - Into The Flood
All this time is ash and sand
It’s running through my hands
So what if I don’t feel it?
So what if I don’t see it?
Torn apart from limb to limb
And put in place again
So what if I don’t feel it?
Innocence is gone and
You don’t taste the same
But I know that you don’t see it
The steps between us are starting to show
The space between us is starting to grow
And I know that you don’t see it
All this time is ash and sand
Running through our hands
So what if we don’t feel it?
My Temperature’s Rising - The Audition
I feel my temperature rising for you
From ninety-eight to a thousand and two
I feel my temperature
No need for doctors
I know you got what it takes, love
To keep the pressure up
No need to slow or stop
Go
I can show you colors that never existed
Show you I’ve got substance
I’ll give you everything you need, my love
I show you all you need to know
I’ve never felt this way about someone
Whoa, oh, oh
I feel my temperature rising for you
There’s just no way to describe it
It’s true
I need your medical attention
Fix me up and turn me on, love
Go grab a scalpel
Could cut me open
Go
I can show you colors that never existed
Show you I’ve got substance
I’ll give you everything you need, my love
I show you all you need to know
I’ve never felt this way about someone
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Grab the paddles
He’s a goner
I can show you colors that never existed
Show you I’ve got substance
(I feel my temperature rising)
I’ll give you everything you need, my love
I’ll show you all you need to know
I’ve never felt this way about someone, whoa
And I hope you know
I’ll give you everything you need, my love
I’ll show you all you need to know
I’ve never felt this way about someone
Whoa, oh
