If this isn't nice, what is?
I want you to notice
When you're happy or you're nervous
Remember, remember
If this isn't nice, what is?
I want you to know this
Don't console me
I deserve this
Remember, remember

If I could have a minute to explain what I said
It still wouldn't be enough to tell you that
I've been losing sleep and I can feel the weekend drag
If I had a penny for each time you said
I've brought you nothing but disappointment
I'll have enough to buy myself a ticket out of here, because
** It's like seeing my reflection for the first time
And I could see the failure in the design
If I could have the perfect situation
I think I'd cross you out of the equation
Cause everything plus you has been a total disaster
If I could get the point of what you're driving at
Then I think we'd be done with this chitchat
Cause we've been wasting too much time impressing each other
My absentee father
**
But you're so cold
And if the heat of the moment can't thaw you
Then nothing will
Should I decide to leave it all behind
I've let my pride get the best of me now

If this is where it’s come to,
Then I guess that I want out
This whole thing has lost its meaning
And everyone is having doubts
I tried so hard to think that we’re just going through a phase
But I can see it in your eyes, you’re green with envy and red with hate
Now I see that it’s too late
If it wasn’t would you do it all again
I’m letting go of this day old hate
I don’t want to write about it anymore
But we feel obligated to stay here
Even though no one wants us around
No one listens to punk anymore
What we’re doing’s not punk anymore
Green with envy and red with hate,
I guess it’s already too late

Moral Lesson

**A chink in the armor
A superficial wound
That led me to wonder
How I could give up all too soon
I hope I make it out alive
** Call me out for what I do or don’t
Rat me out so I could say it was my fault
I’m a little too old to be so juvenile
Snooze the alarm, I’m waking up later than nine
So I’m straightening up
This crooked life that I’m living
Double faced just to say
That I tried my best at least
I hope I make it out alive

Take it from me, I won't even miss you
Take it from me, I won't even care
Take all our mutual friends with you and leave
'Cause you have been giving the wrong information
They are all ears they all want to listen
Your sappy sob stories and old photographs are proof
** How do you feel now
That you are the victim?
Blame it all on me
Still you'll be unhappy
While I'm alone
I'm not forcing myself into your life
If you find no purpose in talking then why should i?
She's let you go long before this ever happened
So how can i break something that's already been broken
**
Write me off, I'm to blame
I'll pretend i'm okay

Be on the lookout for somebody new
Who fancies your face and tells you what you want them to
So warm up your blender 'cause your milkshake brings the boys to the yard
Cause it's 20% talent and 80% PR that got you this far
And it doesn't even matter if you do or don't play the guitar
It doesn't take a genius to find
You take me as a fool and I can see it in your eyes
You couldn’t see the mess that you left behind
10,000 likes
** Cause the lights will leave you high
Will hang you out to dry
Will leave out your friends and make you realize
That you’re beyond repair, a thousand feet
Push everyone away
It wasn’t your intention, but I think it’s safe to say
It’s never really fine until you have it your way
Your manipulation left a lasting first impression on me
So let’s just pretend this never happened
You’re tired of hanging out with has-beens
Picking fights with the bands that you were in
Contradicting the very thing you believe in
**

I'm holding off going downstairs
For fear of bumping into you
You know it's what I do
I try to avoid confrontations
And awkward conversations
I'll be in my room indefinitely
I'm hoping you will too
I've got a chip on my shoulder
And if we really couldn't work this out then I'm bailing out
This company is heading south
So the rest of the family can split my share
And you could chill at the country club
'Cause I'll be out of your hair
I'm moving out
Further down south

I know
You've been lying through your teeth
You can't expect me to believe everything you say
And it makes me wonder
Are you that oblivious?
To think the world's against you
Expect me to
Tell you the truth, our differences are irreconcilable
I've lost my youth but you got more than you have bargained for
I want to say it to your face instead of just sending this e-mail
I'll take everything, i’ll take everything that your ego just can't take
Look what you have done
Things aren’t working as you’ve planned
Who made you the better man?
Wasting time making up my mind
Maybe I’m getting out of line

What These Arms Are For

Waiting for something to strike my interest
I've been keeping my eyes out for days
Maybe it's the altitude that's keeping me awake
Or the zigzags and the gorges that I'm passing by with haste
While my passenger's asleep, I pray that I could keep a mental picture of the time we spent driving through the roads we've never been
Open windows, breathing in the air that we wish we could take back home, The weather's just right for us, cold but we could keep each other warm, I'm keeping you encased in this embrace,
So you'll know what these arms are for

Breather

Everybody’s wearing suits and ties
And it got me into thinking ‘when will I
Settle down to nine to five’s?’
Sell off my gear and dress in corporate
Incorporated
Because my body’s getting old
But my head is still stuck in this mess
Wait for me
I just need a breather
And all my friends,
They could pretend
This is the situation they chose to be in now
I’m guessing we could never be the astronauts, the pilots and the surgeons
Everything we thought the world to be when we were three was
Make believe, aspirations thrown into the wind, you see?
We are who we pretend to be so
Wait for me
I just need a breather
And all my friends,
They could pretend
This is the situation they chose to be in now
I never thought I would be one of you
Tongue tied and supervised
I never lied so much in my life
Getting involved in petty crimes no one will know
For your sake, for the sake of your company
Wait for me
Company
Wait for me
