Losing Grip
Are you aware of what you make me feel, baby
Right now I feel invisible to you like I'm not real
Didn't you feel me lock my arms around you
Why'd you turn away, here's what I have to say
I was left to cry there
Waiting outside there
Grinning with a lost stare
That's when I decided...
[Chorus]
Why, should I care
Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone
You, ya need to listen
I'm startin to trip
I'm losing my grip
And I'm in this thing alone
Am I just some chick you placed beside you
To take somebody's place
When you turn around can you recognize my face
You used to love me, you used to hug me
But that wasn't the case
Everything wasn't okay
I was left to cry there
Waiting outside there
Grinning with a lost stare
That's when I decided...
[Chorus]
Why, should I care
Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone
You, ya need to listen
I'm startin to trip
I'm losing my grip
And I'm in this thing alone
Crying out loud, I'm crying out loud
Crying out loud, I'm crying out loud
Open your eyes
Open up wide
Why should I care
Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone
Why, should I care
Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone
Why should I care
If you don't care
Then I don't care
We're not going anywhere
Why should I care
Cause weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone
Why should I care
If you don't care
Then I don't care
We're not going anywhere

Uh huh, life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is
Cause life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh that's the way it is
Chill out whatcha yelling' for?
Lay back it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
you will see
I like you the way you are
When we're drivin' in your car
and you're talking to me one on one but you've become
Somebody else round everyone else
You're watching your back like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
And you fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get and you turn
it into honesty
and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no no
You come over unannounced
dressed up like you're someone else
where you are and where it's sad you see
you're making me
laugh out when you strike your pose
take off all your preppy clothes
you know you're not fooling anyone
when you've become
Somebody else round everyone else
Watching your back, like you can't relax
Trying to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
and You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what and you get and you
turn it into honesty
promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no no
Chill out whatcha yelling for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see
Somebody else round everyone else
You're watching your back, like you can't relax
You're trying to be cool, you look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
and You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what and you get and you

Life's like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get and you turn it
into honesty
promise me I'm never gonna find you flaking
no no no
Sk8er Boi
He was a boi, she was a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?
He was a punk, she did ballet
What more can I say?
He wanted her, she'd never tell
Secretly she wanted him as well
But all of her friends stuck up there nose
They had a problem with his baggy clothes
He was a skater boi
She said see ya later boi
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face
But her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth
5 years from now she sits at home
Feeding the baby she's all alone
She turns on TV guess who she sees
Skater boi rockin up MTV.
She calls up her friends they already know
And they've all got tickets to see his show
She tags along and stands in the crowd
looks up at the man that she turned down.
He was a skater boi
She said see ya later boi
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a super star
Slamin on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
[2x]
Sorry girl but you missed out
Well tough luck that boi's mine now
We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends
Too bad that you couldn't see
See that man that boi could be
There is more than meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside
He's just a boi and i'm
just a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?
We are in love haven't you heard
How we rock each others world
I'm with the skater boi
I said see you later boi
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at a studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know
[2x]
I'm With You
I'm standing on the bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound
[Bridge]
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
[Chorus]
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I, I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here I know?
Cause nothing's going right
And everthing's a mess
And no one likes to be alone
[Bridge]
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
[Chorus]
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I, I'm with you
I'm with you
Why is everything so confusing?
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yeah Yeah..
[Chorus]
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I, I'm with you
I'm with you
Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I
I'm with you
I'm with you
Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I
I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you
Mobile
Went back home again
This sucks gotta pack up and leave again
Say goodbye to all my friends
Can't say when I'll be there again
It's time now to turn around
Turn my back on everything
Turn my back on everything...
Everything's changing when I turn around
All out of my control I'm a mobile
Everything's changing when I turn around
All out of my control I'm a mobile
Start back at this life
Stretch myself back into the vibe
I'm waking up to say I've tried
Instead of waking up to another TV Guide
It's time now, to turn around
Turn and walk on this crazy ground
oh oh oh...
Everything's changing when I turn around
All out of my control I'm a mobile
Everything's changing out of what I know
Everywhere I go I'm a mobile
I'm a mobile
Hanging from the ceiling
Life's a mobile
Spinning round with mixed feelings
Crazy and wild
Sometimes I wanna scream out loud
Everything's changing everywhere I go
All out of my control
Everything's changing everywhere I go
Out of what I know
Yeah yeah yeah
La la la la la la
la la la...
Everything's changing when I turn around
All out of my control I'm a mobile
Everything's changing out of what I know
Everywhere I go I'm a mobile
Everywhere I go I'm a mobile
All
that I did was walk over
Start off by shaking your hands
That's how it went
I had a smile on my face
And I sat up straight
Oh, yeah, yeah
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you
[Chorus]
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
You don't want me there
You just shut me out
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
If you had your way
You'd just shut me up
Make me go away
(I'm so unwanted)
No, I just don't understand why
You won't talk to me
It hurts that I'm so wanted for nothing
Don't talk words against me
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you
[Chorus]
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
You don't want me there
You just shut me out
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
If you had your way
You'd just shut me up
Make me go away
Make me go away..
I tried to belong
It didn't seem wrong
My head aches
It's been so long
I'll write this song
If that's what it takes
[Chorus 2x]
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
You don't want me there
You just shut me out
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
If you had your way
You'd just shut me up
Make me go away
Make me go away
Make me go away
Tomorrow
And I wanna believe you
When you tell me that it'll be ok
Ya I try to believe you
But I don't
When you say that it's gonna be,
It always turns out to be a different way
I try to believe you
Not today...
[Chorus]
I don't know how I'll feel
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I don't know what to say
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Is a different day
(Tomorrow)
It's always been up to you
It's turning around it's up to me
I'm gonna do what I have to do
Just don't...
Give me a little time
Leave me alone a little while
Maybe it's not too late
Not today...
[Chorus]
I don't know how I'll feel
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I don't know what to say
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Is a different day
Hey yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
And I know I'm not ready
Hey yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
Maybe tomorrow
[2x]
And I wanna believe you
When you tell me that it will be ok
Yeah, I try to believe you
Not today...
Tomorrow it may change [4x]
Anything But Ordinary
Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby
Sometimes I drive so fast
Just to feel the danger
I want to scream
It makes me feel alive
[Chorus]
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
To walk within the lines
Would make my life so boring
I want to know that I
Have been to the extreme
So knock me off my feet
Come on now give it to me
Anything to make me feel alive
[Chorus]
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.
Let down your defenses
Use no common sense
If you look you will see
that this world is this beautiful
accident, turbulent, succulent
opulent, permanent
No way I wanna taste it
Don't wanna waste it away
Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh my self to sleep
It's my lullaby
Is it enough?
Is it enough?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
Is it enough?
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
Oooh
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
Things I'll Never Say
(La ta da la ta da ah…)
I’m tuggin at my hair
I’m pulling at my clothes
I’m trying to keep my cool
I know it shows
I’m staring at my feet
My cheeks are tuning red
I’m searching for the words inside my head
[Chorus]
I’m feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you’re worth it
you’re worth it yeah
If I could say what I want to say
I’d say I want to blow you away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down on one knee
Marry me today
Guess I’m wishing my life away
With these things I’ll never say
It don’t do me any good
It’s just a waste of time
What use is it to you what’s on my mind?
If it ain’t coming out
We're not going anywhere
So why can’t I just tell you that I care
[Chorus]
I’m feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you’re worth it
You’re worth it yeah
If I could say what I want to say
I’d say I want to blow you away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down on one knee
Marry me today
Guess I’m wishing my life away
With these things I’ll never say
What’s wrong with my tongue?
These words keep slipping away
I stutter, I stumble
Like I’ve got nothing to say
Cause I’m feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you’re worth it
You’re worth it yeah
(La ta da la ta da ah…)
Yes I’m wishing my life away
With these things I’ll never say
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I want to blow you away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down on one knee
Marry me today
Yes I’m wishing my life away
With these things I’ll never say
…these things I’ll never say
My World
Please tell me what is taking place
Cause I can't seem to find a trace
Guess it must have got erased somehow
Probably cause I always forget
Everytime someone tells me their name
It's always gotta be the same
(in my world)
Never wore cover up
Always beat the bois up
Grew up in a 5,000 population town
Made my money by cutting grass
Got fired by a fried chicken ass
All in a small town, Napanee
You know I always stay up without sleeping
And think to myself
Where do I belong forever
In whose arms, the time and place
[Chorus]
Can't help if I space in a daze
My eyes tune out the other way
I may switch off and go in a daydream
In this head my thoughts are deep
Sometimes I can't even speak
Would someone be and not pretend
I'm off again in my world
I never spend less than an hour
Washing my hair in the shower
It always takes 5 hours to make it straight
So I'll braid it in a zillion braids
Though it may take a friggen day
There's nothing else better to do anyway
When you're all alone in the lands of forever
Lay under the milky way
On and on it's getting too late out
I'm not in love this time this night
[Chorus]
Can't help if I space in a daze
My eyes tune out the other way
I may switch off and go in a daydream
In this head my thoughts are deep
Sometimes I can't even speak
Would someone be and not pretend
I'm off again in my world
(la la la la)
Take some time
Mellow out
Party it up
But don't fall down
Don't get caught
Sneak out of the house
[Chorus]
Can't help if I space in a daze
My eyes tune out the other way
I may switch off and go in a daydream
In this head my thoughts are deep
Sometimes I can't even speak
Would someone be and not pretend
I'm off again in my world
[2x]
Nobody's Fool
step up!...
Fall back, take a look at me
And you'll see I'm for real
I feel what only I can feel
And if that don't appeal to ya
Let me know and I'll go
Cause I flow better when my colors show
And that's the way it has to be, honestly
Cause creativity could never bloom in my room
I'd throw it all away before I'd lie
So dont call me with a compromise
Hang up the phone
I got a backbone stronger than yours
La La La... yeah
[Chorus]
If your trying to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see im not down with that
(I'm not nobody's fool)
I'm not nobody's fool
If your trying to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough and I'm over that
(I'm not nobody's fool)
I'm not nobody's fool
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
Don't know you think you know me like yourself
But i fear that you're only telling me what i want to hear
But do you give a damn?
Understand that i can't not be what i am
I'm not the milk and cheerios in your spoon
It's not a simple here we go not so soon
I might have fallen for that when i was 14
And a little more green
But it's amazing what a couple of years can mean
La La La.... oh... yeah
[Chorus]
If your trying to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see im not down with that
(I'm not nobody's fool)
I'm not nobody's fool
If your trying to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough and I'm over that
(I'm not nobody's fool)
I'm not nobody's fool
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
oh oh oh oh...
Go ahead and try
Try to look me in the eye
But you'll never see inside
Until you realize, realize
Things are trying to settle down
Just trying to figure out
Exactly what I'm about
If it's with or without you
I don't need your doubt in me
[Chorus]
If your trying to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see im not down with that
(I'm not nobody's fool)
I'm not nobody's fool
If your trying to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough and I'm over that
(I'm not nobody's fool)
I'm not nobody's fool
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try, try...
La La... yeah yeah..
Would you be laughing out loud
If I'm playing to my own crowd?
Try, go ahead and try
Too Much To Ask
It's the first time I've ever felt this lonely
Wish someone would cure this pain
It's funny when you think it's gonna work out
Till you chose weed over me you're so lame!
I thought you were cool until the point
Up until the point you didn't call me
When you said you would
Finally figured out you're all the same
Always coming up with some kind of story
[Chorus]
Everytime I try to make you smile
You're always feeling sorry for yourself
Everytime I try to make you laugh
You can't you're too tough
You think you're loveless
Is that too much that I'm askin for?
Thought you'd come around when I ignored you
Sorta thought you'd have the decency to change
But babe I guess you didn't take that warning
Cause I'm not about to look at your face again
Can't you see that you lie to yourself
You can't see the world through a mirror
It won't be too late when the smoke clears
Cause I, I am still here
But everytime I try to make you smile
You'd always go and feeling sorry for yourself
Everytime I try to make you laugh
You'd stand like a stone alone in your zone
Is that too much that I'm askin for?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Can't find where I am
Lying here alone I fear
Afraid of the dark
No one to claim
Alone again
Can't you see that you lie to yourself
You can't see the world through a mirror
It won't be too late when the smoke clears
Cause I, I am still here
[Chorus]
Everytime I try to make you smile
You're always feeling sorry for yourself
Everytime I try to make you laugh
You can't you're too tough
You think you're loveless
Is that too much that I'm askin for?
Naked
I wake up in the morning
Put on my face
The one that's gonna get me
Through another day
Doesn't really matter
How I feel inside
This life is like a game sometimes
Then you came around me
The walls just disappeared
Nothing to surround me
And keep me from my fears
I'm unprotected
See how I've opened up
Oh, you've made me trust, cause
[Chorus]
I've never felt like this before
I'm naked around you
Does it show?
You see right through me
And I can't hide
I'm naked around you
And it feels so right
I'm trying to remember
Why I was afraid
To be myself
And let the covers fall away
Guess I never had someone like you
To help me, to help me fit
In my skin
[Chorus]
I've never felt like this before
I'm naked around you
Does it show?
You see right through me
And I can't hide
I'm naked around you
And it feels so right
I'm naked
Oh oh yeah
Does it show?
Yeah, I'm naked
Oh oh, yeah yeah...
Oh oh..
I'm naked around you
Does it show?
I'm so naked around you
And I can't hide
You're gonna
You're gonna see right through
You're gonna see right through
Oh yeah yeah
I'm so naked around you
And I can't hide
You're gonna see right through, baby
