American Wedding lyrics

It's a new day, but it all feels old

It's a good life, that's what I'm told

But everything, it all just feels the same

And my high school, it felt more to me

Like a jail cell, a penitentiary

My time spent there only made me see

That I don't ever wanna be like you

I don't wanna do the things you do

I'm never gonna hear the words you say

'Cause I don't ever wanna, I don't ever wanna be

you cannot run

you cannot hide

everything they tell you

is messing up your mind

they don't give up

and i don't give in

boys are made for pleasure

and girls are made for sin

(CHORUS)

excuses all around

they try to get you down saying

come on baby show it

(come on baby show it)

come in and meet the boys

(get down and see the toys)

but i don't wanna feel like

I'm bouncing off the walls again

I'm looking like a fool again

I threw away my reputation

One more song for the radio station

I'm bouncing off the walls again

I'm looking like a fool again

Waking up on the bathroom floor

Pull myself together just to fall once more

And my heart's still beating out of my chest

And this town is still making me sick

And every penny from my last paycheck

There's something that I can't quite explain

I'm so in love with you

You'll never take that away

And if I've said a hundred times before

Expect a thousand more

You'll never take that away

Well expect me to be

Calling you to see

If you're okay when I'm not around,

Asking if you love me

I love the way you make it sound

Calling you to see

Do I too hard to make you smile,

Turning into something

Drifting off to old ways

Got to pull myself back in

Holding back the questions

We're bruised with all rejection

Gotta pull myself back in

[Chorus:]

Suffer the breaks

You know I still remember it

It keeps burning away

I know that you may take a while

To come back around

Come back around

I miss you around

Reaching out for someone

Burning out for so long

Do you think that I can get some chickie chickie

Maybe gets a little finga sticky sticky

You my electrical lip balm flava

I gotta do ya until the next song saves ya

And can I get a little zip zip lookie lookie

Can I get a little uh uh nookie nookie

Hey whatcha say, it doesn’t matter anyway

You won’t do another ’cause you’re getting with me

She got the power of the hootchie

Can we pretend for one second that we are together,

What's the point of keeping my feelings at bay,

It takes alot of me,

To get the nerve to wake up,

Everyday,

And what if I don't,

Would you even care,

Would you even care,

Forget everything that we have done,

Erase me,

From your memory,

Don't call,

Don't ask about me until the day hell freezes over,

Don't make me listen to the stupid broken record again

The needle skippin and repeatin' never reaching the end

I know your bitchin and complainin like you got it so tough

We're sick of all your cryin will you ever shut up?

So Keep bleeding your fake blood till no one even see's it

If thats the best you can make up, at least act like you mean it

Give up the grudge,

better shut your mouth

Don't know why I'm still afraid

If you weren't real I would make you up

now

I wish that I could follow through

I know that your love is true

And deep

As the sea

But right now

Everything you want is wrong,

And right now

All your dreams are waking up,

And right now

I wish I could follow you

To the shores

Of freedom,

Where no one lives.

Remember when we first met

Everytime you go away

It actually kinda makes my day

Everytime you leave

You slam the door

You pick your words so carefully

You hate to think you're hurting me

You leave me laughing on

The floor

Cause I don't give it up, I don't give a damn

What you say about that

You know I don't give it up, I don't give a damn

What you say about that

You know I'm not gonna cry, about some stupid guy

We were born before the wind

Also younger than the sun

Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic

Hark, now hear the sailors cry

Smell the sea and feel the sky

Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home

And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it

I don't have to fear it

I want to rock your gypsy soul

This bed is on fire with passion and love

The neighbors complain about the noises above

But she only comes when she's on top

My therapist said not to see you no more

She said you're like a disease without any cure

She said I'm so obsessed that I'll become a bore, oh no

Ah you think you're so pretty (eeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeee)

Caught your hand inside the till

Days swiftly come and go.

I'm dreaming of her

She's seeing other guys

Emotions they stir

The sun is gone.

The nights are long

And I am left while the tears fall.

Did you think that I would cry,

on the phone?

Do you know what it feels like,

being alone?

I'll find someone new

Swing, Swing, Swing from the tangles of

My heart is crushed by a former love

Can you help me find a way

Last call now I'm outta time

And I don't got no valentine

Singled out, now I stand alone

The underdog in a modern world

Suburbia is hot tonight

But nothing seems to feel alright

I don't want your sympathy

I just need a little therapy

At least that's what they say to me

Hey ho let's go

I'm gonna start a riot

You don't wanna fight it

One two fuck you

Everybody's got their problems

Everybody says the same things to you

It's just a matter how you solve them

And knowing how to change the things you've been through

I feel I've come to realize

How fast life can be compromised

Step back to see what's going on

I can't believe this happened to you

This happened to you

It's just a problem that I'm faced with am I

I am a one way motorway

I'm the one that drives away

then follows you back home

I am a street light shining

I'm a wild light blinding bright

burning off alone

it's times like these you learn to live again

it's times like these you give and give again

it's times like these you learn to love again

it's times like these time and time again

I am a new day rising

I'm a brand new sky
