Standing on the Sidelines
- Straight out of high school in your freshmen year
It didn't take him too long to disappear
And you can't say you blame him, times are a changin'
But you'd always hoped he would stay
When he left it hurt it more than you thought that it would
Didn't want to believe that he was leaving for good
You're not alone in the world unless you wanna be
Standing on the sidelines
Take control and never look back
To see if things could be different
You spent lots of nights all alone in your dorm room
Wishing' he never had said all those word to you
And then it clicks in your head
He never gave you what wanted
Your heart is not the first one to break
I've seen lots of heartache to know that is the case
When your worries are replaced
Then we'll know you are okay
Your heart is not the first one to break
It's nothing you can't take
And I know that when your memories fade away
You'll be on your way
'Cause any time is as good as now
You're like fire
And smokin' hot's not good enough
No, smokin' hot is not enough, so I'm putting you out
Temptress
- She talks a lot of shit when she's had a few drinks
Screaming for attention she ain't gonna get it from me
Until she puts that ring away 'cause I'm not playing that game
I've played it too many times oh
Not once but one too many times
What can I say
She's got a boyfriend she can't let go of
She's caught between a rock and a hard place
She tells me everyday things will be different
The more things change the more they stay
The more things change the more they stay same
She would throw a fit if she caught him flirting
She wants the best of both worlds but nothing in between
No, she ain't gonna get if from me
Until she puts that ring away
'Cause I've played one too many times oh
Just once is one too many times
Shame on me for ever ever asking
What you got a man back home or something
Shame on me
What was I thinking I should of kept my mouth shut
Boyfriend boyfriend boyfriend (she's got a boyfriend)
Boyfriend boyfriend boyfriend (what can I do with a boyfriend)
Occupied
- She's a girl and typical one uh huh
I don't know what to say to her
She's got it all expect a thought in her head
And she won't leave me leave alone yeah but I won't make it hurt
When I tell her a story tell her a lie
Anything to keep me occupied
Don't even know where I've been getting these lines
I'll say anything to keep me occupied
When we're alone she thinks we're starting to click but we're not
Now things are getting fun
I'm trying hard just to keep a straight face
But it's hard and I'm tired but I'll keep staying up
She's gonna find out but she'll have to understand
That none of us is perfect with a drink in our hand and a boner
So I'll go home
But not before I tell her a story
Over and Over Again
- You've gotta want it, you better be dreaming of it
I've already told you this before you know
I'm starting to think this isn't in my best interest
So stop me before I go
Gimme a straight answer or I'm not going along with it
And we can do it over again
Gimme a reason to believe things will be much different
Or we can do it over again
We can do it over and over again
Been thinking about it, about how you take no chances
It's time to break out of that skin tonight
And do something wild, do something you'll regret
Or just stop taking my advice
What if I get through to you
What do I do what do I do
If I don't get through to you
What do I do what do I do
If I don't get through to you

- If not now when is the right time
To tell a lie or say goodbye
We've had this fight a thousand times
It doesn't make it any easier
To swallow down
You're making this harder now
You're like fire
I play with you and I get burned
You leave such a big mess
For me to clean up after
I've gotta put you out
'Cause any time is as good as now
You're like fire
And smokin' hot's not good enough to keep you around
I can't think of a better time then now
To spill my guts out
'Cause when you take the time to tell the truth
You find out who you are
But I'm already gone
You have pushed this too far
You're making this harder now
You're like fire
I play with you and I get burned
You leave such a big mess
For me to clean up after
I've gotta put you out
'Cause any time is as good as now
You're like fire
And smokin' hot's not good enough to keep you around
If not now when is the right time
To fight the fire with fire
If not now then when
If not now when is the right time
To fight the fire with fire
You're like fire
I play with you and I get burned
You leave such a big mess
For me to clean up after
I've gotta put you out
'Cause any time is as good as now
You're like fire
And smokin' hot's not good enough
No, smokin' hot is not enough, so I'm putting you out Tough Time
- There are things you can't control
Eventually, you gotta get what you need
It's hard enough to be alone
Even when you're with somebody you care for
But this time was all you had and you needed someone
To make up for what he lacks and have some fun
Was it worth pushing him away?
Now, you've got a tough time ahead
And you don't know what's next
But it'll be alright
And you don't know if you're wrong
Or if it's his fault
But it'll be alright
He got over it, but that doesn't matter
He didn't understand you any better
You could say he deserves whatever's coming to him
But you ain't gonna give it to him
You ain't gonna give it to him
Now, you've got a tough time ahead
And you don't know what's next
But it'll be alright
And you don't know if you're wrong
Or if it's his fault
But it'll be alright
Tight Rope - I can't wait any longer
For you to make up your mind
I don't mind now that I'm stronger
And living life for myself
You can't stop me, stop me
I've already made up my mind
So you can watch me, watch me
As I walk out of your life
So goodbye
Why don't you wake up?
This is not the end
If you tell me how it is
We could still be friends, whoa
I can't help it, this is unfortunate
And that's how friendships end like this
It's a game we're playing
You win or you lose, but there's always an ending
Stop me, stop me
I've gone out of my mind
So you can watch me, watch me
As I step outside the lines
Why don't you wake up?
This is not the end
If you tell me how it is
We could still be friends, whoa
There's always two sides to
Every story that you read in the paper
And there's always another issue
On my doorstep in the morning
I can't believe this is the end
I can't believe this is…
Why don't you wake up?
This is not the end
If you tell me how it is
We could still be friends, whoa
Ride of a Lifetime
- We're making our way across town
You're on the passenger side of my car
But you're driving me crazy
Tell me just how far that you'll let me go
That you'll let me go
I won't take too long
If you let me know which way I should go
I won't tell a soul
I will take you for a ride of a lifetime
we'll take the top down
and feel the breeze blowing through our hair
We're making or way downtown
'cause there's nothing better than trying something new out
'cause you're looking so pretty
Tell me just how far that you'll let me go
You'll let me go down
I won't take too long
If you let me know
If you let me know
I won't tell a soul
I will take you for a ride of a lifetime
We'll take the top down
And feel the breeze blowing through our hair
I will take for a ride
I've got nothing to hide
I've got nothing but a good time
If you would open your eyes
You might see something you like
Better Left a Memory
- There are somethings that we apparently left unsaid
And I think we should clear them up before this gets out of hand
And we go straight to the heart, where you know it hurts the most
like when you said I'd give everything up if you'd leave me alone
Why do we fall in love so quickly?
Although we never seem to have the time
Why do we pretend this is what we need?
When we know it's better left a memory
It's better left a memory
Let's not forget that we had some history
And I think we can settle this better than we have been currently
Because you went straight to the heart, that's where you know it hurts the most
And I'd give up everything if you'd lose that tone
Stop there, where are you headed?
I need to know for sure
Is this the last time we speak to each other?
Spill your guts out
Now is the time to tell me how you really feel without lying
Two can play this game
And if you take it that far, I'll take it further than you can take it
I've rolled up my sleeves more times you've been on your knees
If you think I'll back down, I think you're wrong
Why do we fall in love?
Warmest Night
- I bet you don't know everything
I think about you and me
'Cause I've got a secret you'd never would guess
I've been thinking of words, thinking of gestures
things to make you melt
But I could use some inspiration from those covers
Every night that I spend next to you
Will be the warmest night that we have every slept through
Curl up underneath all these sheets
And in the morning this will be more than a dream
We like to love, we love to touch, we like to simply state it
We like to love, we love to touch, we just feel elated
We just want to share
