Альбом Yellowcard

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 you're 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, this angry town, this battleground
So now we'll break tradition, we'll leave you swimming in our wake
Without your inspiration, you won't survive, you'll surely drown.
But I grew up, wishing on a star
You think I won't ever get too far
But I grew up, wishing on a star
You think I won't ever get too far
Where is your inspiration, you lost it oh so long ago

When I look into your eyes, I can see
Such a sad man in disguise
Waiting, wishing, dreaming, drifting from me
Hurts my heart to hear you cry
Waiting, wishing, dreaming, drifting from me
I don't know you anymore, 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
I know it's lonely but if once, you could help me understand
What it takes to be a man
Look back on what you've said, and the life you've led
Is it what you dreamed when you were young like me.
Now it's time you took something back
just for the sake of your mind.
When I look into your eyes, I can see
Life has buried you alive
Waiting, wishing, dreaming, drifting from me
You can't breathe
Heart as big as ocean's wide
Waiting, wishing, dreaming, drifting from me

All that I need 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
Stings when I see all the ways that you...
Took me for granted and told me it's through
Picked from my pockets and smiled
Empty is nothing and nothing is you
Think I'll just sit for a while
See how what I wanted and I needed
It wasn't enough in the end
somehow with a quickness I forgot her
I realized she wasn't my friend

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 won't be long
We will be together in search of a new life
Striving as one in this world to find something pure
I'm missing you now
I'm quite sure
That I've finally found someone

Get up face this day
Find some way to make the mean kids pray
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 your told
After all what are feelings of rage for
So I say, I got a sureshot way to work things out
All of this arguing has worn you down
I got a sureshot way to kill your doubts
Find what your following and chase it down
Get up, face this year
days will fade with all your childhood fears
All of the nights, all of the friends and the fights
You're a young man, who's burning to break free
Here are your rights and your name's up in lights
Don't abuse be the best that you can be
Bye mom and dad, you're all I had
I'm finding out I'm on my own, I am all alone
Break from the mold
I've got a sureshot way to work things out
all of this growing up has worn you down
I've got a sureshot way to kill your doubts
find what your following and chase it down

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 falling down
So put your mouth on my bloody knees
One night with me and I've broken your trust
I hate to be the bond you know is gonna bust
Hurting lungs from breathing sighs of disgust
This can't be home anymore
Now cold concrete blank walls are
Staring into your lonely eyes
I duck behind them and hope that you won't cry
And ask for answers to why I made you cry
I never wanted us to fade out
Resting on a love that fell apart
Where are you, I need you
You still have my heart
Open up my heart

Watching the days burning out like a cigarette, just a few drags to go.
Built me up and 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 it's 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
Intoxicated, the edge is serrated, so easily torn from the core
I blushed the first time, you blushed the last time my eyes hit your mind
Regenerated these feelings of hatred, I long for your love evermore
You built me up and you broke me down this time.

Warm October nights
You came and cuddled next to me (baby yea yea yea)
Our noses where 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
Touched your skin and I can't take it
Light will creep in soon
And I still haven't slept a wink (baby yea yea yea)
I wish the sun would hide its head so I can watch you dream some more
Wish the sun would hide its head so I can watch you dream some more
I want to watch you dream some more
I want to watch you dream some more
I want to watch you dream some more
I want to watch you dream some more girl
I want to watch you dream some more
I wanna watch you
I want to watch you dream some more (drifting off to sleep)
I want to to watch you dream some more girl
I want to watch you dream some more (watch you dream some more)
I wanna watch you
Tear me off a piece of blanket
Keep me warm and we can make it
Here's me heart, I'll let you break it
Touched your skkkkkiiiiinnnnn

Christmas break of ninety eight 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.
I wanna go there and never come back home.
Staring up at freeway sings in dreams that make me sad
One coast out to the other
One ocean to another
We cruised out to the other side
Loved us in Nebraska how they cheered us in Mattane
Told me why if I was
Blazing down that highway on my way to Rock Star Land

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
For Pete's Sake
Let's see straight
Clench your fists up in rage
Hurts to know
We could throw
All this time away
Let's try and work it out
Please don't be angry anymore I'm on your side
I don't want to fight
Put this hate aside
Get back to a place where you and I can still be friends
You want it, you need it
And all the answers you're racing to find out
They might outrun you in the end

Maybe it's not over yet
Somewhere inside him there must be some
New dream awaiting to 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 all of the
Simplified answers they gave him
Back there when surrounded by
Love he could not make sense
Of feeling alive yet alone
Maybe the best he can get is
Simply burned by fate
Yet he knows he's the champion of the planet
But he's told he was wrong for somehow deciding to...

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
But so is your blank stare in lieu of this song
Maybe it's childish and maybe it's wrong

Don't wanna be, don't wanna be wrong
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be wrong
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song

I'm breathing in your skin tonight
Quiet is my loudest cry
Wouldn't wanna wake the eyes that make me melt inside
And if it's healthier to leave you be
may a sickness come and set me free
Kill me while I still believe that you were meant for me

I'm finding my own words, my own little stage
my own epic drama, my own scripted page
I'll send you the rough draft, I'll seal it with tears
Maybe you'll read it and I'll reappear
From the start it was shaky and the characters rash,
A nice setting for heartache where emotions come last
All I have deep inside, to overcome this desire
are friendly intentions and fair-weather smiles

And I don't wanna be, don't wanna be wrong
you're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be wrong
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song

Like Saturday night I'll be gone
Like Saturday night I'll be gone
Like Saturday night I'll be gone
Like Saturday night I'll be gone before you knew that I was there
