Always, always, and forever
Always, always, and forever
I'm sitting here, I'm thinking back to a time when I was young
My memory is clear as day, I'm listening to the dishes clink
You were downstairs, As you would sing songs of praise
And all the times we laughed with you
And all the times you stayed true to us
Now we'll say,
I said I thank you
I will always thank you, More than you would know
Than I could ever show, And I love you, I will always love you
There's nothing I won't do to say these words to you
That you're beautiful forever
Always, always, and forever
You were my mom, You were my dad
The only thing I ever had was you, It's true
And even when the times got hard you were there
To let us know that we'd get through
You showed me how to be a man
You taught me how to understand the things people do
You showed me how to love my god, You taught me that not everyone knows the truth
And I thank you, I'll always thank you
More than you would know, Than I could ever show
And I love you, I'll always love you, There's nothing I won't do to say these words to you
That you will live forever
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
I said I thank you, We'll always thank you
More than you would know, Than I could ever show
And I love you, I'll always love you, There's nothing I won't do to say these words to you,
That I thank you, We'll always thank you
More than you would ever know, Than I could ever show
And I'll love you, We'll always love you, There's nothing I won't do to say these words to you
That you will live forever

Like the time in school when we got free lunch,
and the cool kids beat us up ( reduced lunch)
and the rich kids had convertibles
and we had to ride the bus ( 55)
like the time we made the baseball team,
but they still laughed at us ( you still suck)
like the time that girl broke up with me
cause I wasn't cool enough ( Trip)
Chorus:
The little things,
little things they always hang around
the little things
little things they try to break me down
the little things
little things they just wont go away
the littles things
little things made me who i am today
Bridge:
you wanna hate me now
but I wont stop now cause
I can't stop now...
verse 2:
like the time mom went to that institue
cause she was breaking down
( I just can't take it)
like the car we had that wouldn't start we had to walk to get around
( can I get a ride?)
and that same year on christmas eve
dad went to the store
(uhh..see you guys later)
we checked his room his things were gone
we didn't see him no more (dick)

Listen up cause there ain't nothin funny
I wanna hot girl and a little bit of money
I wanna a little house where my band can live
Cause we're tired of moving every other weekend
I wanna go to parties where they got no guns
I wanna rock with my band, I wanna have a little fun
Where thugs and punks and any other type
Can sing this song and up sing it all night
Everything's gonna be alright now
Everythin's gonna be alright
Everything will be alright, alright
All I wanna do is kick the welfare
All I wanna do is get my share
And I don't wanna run for the president
I just want an honest way to pay my rent
And I'm tired of the man always shuttin us down
Tired of my old man cause he's never around
And I'm tired of eating off of other people's plates
And I don't look important so they're telling me to wait
Police records said they wouldn't exist
I wanna know the meaning of a Christmas list
Said all I wanna do is kick the welfare
All I wanna do is get my share
All I wanna do is make somethin from nothin
It's GC baby and we're workin with somethin
We'll be self-made millionares
These lives we'll lead without a care, oh yeah
And we'll see what we'll be
Everything's gonna be alright now
Everybody say ah yeah that's right
Everything's gonna be alright now
Everybody say it one more time
Everything will be alright, alright
We'll see you when we get there
We'll see you when we get there
On the video
Or the radio
In the magazines
On the movie screens

Walkin on the streets of DC, on the East Coast where I live
You say what's the problem, what's with this angry kid?
You don't like the way I walk, or the way I talk, or the way I swing my hands
You don't like the words I speak or the thoughts I think
And I know you'll never understand
You know-on the East Coast we ride until we die
You know, oh oh oh
Well there's a place inside my mind, yeah a place you'll never find
There's a place inside my mind we'll leave today
You know
Wouldn't it be perfect, if I could sit with you?
And we would change a thing or two, we'd change a thing or two
We would change the way you think, we would change the way I think
We can't change the way they think so we're not changin anything
Chorus
On the East Coast we ride, until the day we die
Chorus

I don't care about a thing today
I used to but I'm fed up
And I can hear the words you say, I wish that you would shut up
I got responsibility
That is my liability
A menace to society...at least that's what they say to me
But tonight, tonight, it's on tonight
I don't want your boring life
And I don't want your 9 to 5
Or anyone to tell me how to live my life
People always tell me not to waste my time
To get a real job and get back in line
You can say I'll never be a millionaire
Tell me this guitar won't get me anywhere
I got responsibility
That is my liability
I'm questioning authority, they say there's not a chance for me
Chorus
Your future's no future
Your future's no future
I control my future
Chorus

And we've been here for so many years
Still it seems as if you're not there (are you there?)
Everytime I talk, you turn away (do you care?)
Isn't dad an obligation to care?
And we've been here, for so many years
So many years still it seems...so complicated (yeah)
Overrated (alright)
Complicated...well this feeling is love
Well I came in the door, yeah I said it before
I never let the stress get me down no more
Giving thanks to the Lord you know I pray everyday
Giving shots to my peeps, and this is what we said
Chorus
You left us one little room with a black and white TV
One eviction notice and a bill for therapy
You're living all alone you're like a dog without a bone
You're living all alone because you left us all at home
Well you had a second chance but you threw it all away
A fourth and fifth and sixth, but that was yesterday
Now you're sitting at a bar just drowning in your tears
Lonely in the corner while everybody cheers
Chorus
Six dollars in your pocket one's a secret stash,
Three's for alcohol and two's for cigarettes

Summer air reminds me of
All the feelings of your love
And what it was like
When we were together
Walking all along the beach
You were never far from my reach
And you held me
Through the stormy weather
And I wanna fall in love
Tonight
And I remember when you said
Everything's gonna be alright
Laying in the summer grass
You told me not to talk so fast
As I told you
How I feel
You made me feel right at home
You told me I was not alone
And you knew
Just how I feel
I know we talked about it
I just can't get around
I just want one more night with you
I wanna fall in love
Tonight
And I remember when you said
Everything's gonna be alright
October air reminds me of
All the seasons of your love
And what it was like
When we were together
The smell of fall is everywhere
And though it seems I just don't care
'Cause now you've gone away
I wanna fall in love
Tonight
And I remember when you said
Everything's gonna be alright
Alright
I wanna fall in love
I wanna fall in love
Tonight

And I dont know why I stay I should leave instead

When I speak from my heart you laugh like its a game
(Well this aint no game)
Yea we make great friends but it just isnt the same

But all I know is that I'm happy to see you smile
(Wanna see you smile)
And it make my day if you would just stay for awhile
(Won't you stay with me?)

Today I screwed up again
You said I could tell in the way, you said goodbye
I saw you sitting at your t-shirt stand with your new boyfriend
He's really cool...I get the point!
I don't want you, I don't want you, I heard you, I heard you
I heard you say "not a chance, what don't you see"
I don't want you, I don't want you, I heard you, I heard you
I heard you say "you're not good enough for me"
Today I screwed up again
I wasn't paying attention
I walked into the wall again, I heard you laugh and saw you grin
While you were sitting at your t-shirt stand with all your cool friends
They're really cool...I get the point!
Chorus
Today I'll give it one last try
And then I know I'll wonder why
I did it to myself once again
I saw your boyfriend he's 6-3, quarterback on Varsity
The football players love to torture me
So I'm feeling like I'm not fitting in, I know that I'm not fitting in with you
And your stuck-up friends...I get the point!

She walks down to the store at eight,
The devil walks with her and he thinks she's great,
When she looks at me,
I don't know what I saw,
I think he's tryin' to make me his son in law,
CHORUS
When she,
Walk by, walk by, walk by, walked on by,
Walk by, walk by, walk by, walked on by,
Eagles fly when she walks by,
She caught my eye on October 9th,
22 days before Halloween,
How did I know she'd be my evil queen,
CHORUS
BRIDGE
My mother warned me against girls like you,
She said stay away from them son you know they're not true,
All they're gonna do is put you under a spell she told me,
When you're fallin' down you're going straight to hell,

Down in the streets outside of Washington DC
I wasted all my time and you were there with me
Back then it meant so much to have you by my side
I always had your back and you always had mine
Sayin...let me go, have some fun
Well my decision sucks to you, but I'm so young
We'd hang out late at night, just trying to have fun
We were such punk ass kids but we knew everyone
And who could see through such blazed up bloodshot eyes
There was a plan for us one day we'd realize
Chorus

Communication is a lot like the wind, when I speak
It's like no one understand and I'm left with empty hands forever
I can't speak
So many things I'll never learn
You can't cross bridges that you've burned
Why is life such an issue when you're mine, why are the answers to my problems hard to find
So hard to find
Don't forget to buckle when you fall beneath the pressure of the seconds when your life became a screamer
Staring at the sea things become so small
I want movies of my dreams and pictures on my wall
Chorus
You say that I'm a dreamer, I saw you're a non-believer
Take out the light, take out the light and start screamin
I'm dreamin, I'm a dreamer, no one believes me, and you don't either
Tell me what to dooooo
Take out the light, take out the light
Take out the light and start screamin
Take out the light, take out the light
Take out the light and start screamin

I am lost in the see-thru,
Think you lost yourself too.
Throughout all of this confusion,
I hope I somehow get to you.
I practiced all the things I'd say,
To tell you how I feel,
And when I finally get my chance,
It all seems so surreal.
Cuz from the first time I saw you,
I only thought about you,
I didn't know you,
I wanted to hold onto
The things you'd never say to me.
Cuz you said:
CHORUS
You can't change the way you feel.
*I could never do that, I could never do that*
But you can't tell me this ain't real
Cuz this is rea.
*And you would see right through that*
And in the end it's all I've got
So I'm gonna hold on and on and on and on....
Now you've got me watchin' your eyes
*Watchin' just to see, watchin' just to see*
Got me waitin' just to see
*If you ever look at me*
If it goes the way it never will,
*When will it go, will it ever go my way?*
Your eyes are watchin' me.
And now you've got me thinkin' bout
The first time that I met you.
Standin' in a crowded room,
But I could only see you,
And I hope my words will get through
Cuz now I can't forget you.
I wanna tell you,
If only I could reach you,
And make you feel this way.
But you said:
CHORUS

Now I know
That I can't make you stay
But where's your heart?
But where's your heart?
But where's your
And I know
There's nothing I can say
To change that part
To change that part
To change
So many
Bright lights that cast a shadow
But can I speak
Well Is it hard understanding
I'm incomplete
A life that's so demanding
I get so weak
A love that's so demanding
I can't speak
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay you'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
Can you see
My eyes are shining bright
'Cause I'm out here on the other side
Of a jet black hotel mirror
And I'm so weak
Is it hard understanding
I'm incomplete
A love that's so demanding
I get weak
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay you'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
These bright lights are always blinding me
These bright lights have always blinded me
I say
I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead
(or dead)
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(or dead)
Honey if you stay i'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
(or dead)
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(or dead)
Honey if you stay i'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
