One For The Kids lyrics

Maybe it's not over yet
somewhere inside him
must be some new dream
awaiting the topple the rest
when he finds himself feeling alive yet alone...

Maybe the best he can get
is still out of his reach

Ran from the life that he hates
hoping to find some new beginning
abandoned the future they gave and took away
knowing what they would say

destined to rise above

This can't be home... anymore
This can't be home... anymore

If you, think I
Have not been missing
The way she breathes
You are mistaken, my friend
I've fallen down
So put your mouth on
My bloody knees

One night with me and
I've broken your trust
I'd hate to be the bond
You know is gonna bust
(know is gonna bust)
Hurting lungs breathing
Sighs of disgust

This cant be home... anymore

Watching the days burning out like a cigarette, just a few drags to go.
You built me up and you broke me down, somehow
Everything just seemed so clear to me, nothing left to know
I'll love you right and I'll love you pure, right now

How can you say, that its too late
To save us now

And I would wait for you, if you would wait for me
And I will Wait for you, if you will wait for me

When I look into your eyes, I can see
Such a sad man in disguise
Waiting, wishing, dreaming, drifting from me, I can see
Hurts my heart to see you cry
Waiting, wishing, dreaming, drifting from me

I don't know you anymore, I wish I knew what's wrong
Can't we try to slam that door, start a brand new song

I know you're lonely and you cry, wondering why

So I'm left wondering,
there is so much left I wish that I could say to you
Silence, I keep
For fear of breaking myself down,
and maybe getting through
Getting through to you

(Chorus)
For Pete's sake
Lets see straight
(Yeah) Clench your fist up in rage
Hurts to know,
We could throw
All this time away

Lets try and work it out
Please don't be angry anymore,
I'm on your side

Warm October nights
You came and cuddled next to me baby
Yeah yeah yeah
Our noses brushed so close
I wished it was our souls
Drifting off to sleep
I could hear the little snores you made
Watching eyes shut tight
Like doors to something sweeter, where you rest

Tear me off a piece of blanket
Keep me warm and we can make it
Here's my heart, I'll let you break it

Christmas break of '98, just flipped me upside-down
One coast out to the other, following the sound
Headed west, to get the best of what we all knew then
One ocean to another, waves come crashing down
Carrying just me, Aunt Stephanie, she held my hand
Told me, why I was
Blazing down that highway on my way to Rock Star Land

California, a place they say glistens gold

Like a Saturday night, I'll be gone
Like a Saturday night, I'll be gone
Before you knew that I was there

So you wrote it down
I'm supposed to care
Even though it's never there
Sorry if I'm not prepared
Is it hard to see the things you substitute
For me and all my thoughts of you
It's eating me alive to leave you

Maybe it's childish and maybe it's wrong

All that I needed to hear from you
something of value but something untrue
all that I wished that I'd find within you

See how what she wanted and she needed
tore it all down in the end
some how like a sickness she infects me
She's simple but deadly my friend

All that I needed to hear from you
something of value but something untrue
all that I wished that I'd find within you

Where is your inspiration,
you lost it oh so long ago
so much for innovation,
I saw this coming long before
You had no motivation,
your hopes are high but Trapped below,
This constant competition,
we've won but your still keeping score

But I grew up, wishing on a star
You think, I won't ever get too far

So high on dedication,
it feels so good to get away
From all this repetition,

Get up, face this day
Find some way to make the mean kids pay
Playing it safe, it's your morals at stake
You're a young man, who's willing to wage war
Break from the mold, never do what you're told
After all, what are feelings of rage for

So I say, I got a sure shot way to work things out
All of this arguing has worn you down
I got a sure shot way to kill your doubts

Trembling
Hold me now
I'm torn between silence and violent expression
Tired of believing everyone wants to care
And cherish someone
I'm so scared of never having anyone

Haunted by my abandoned dreams
Tiny voices where would be screams

Now be still, it wont be long
We will be together in search of a new life
Striving as one in this will to find
Something pure
I'm missing you now I'm quite sure
