Good Looking Girls 04:19
lyrics
buy track
Come a little closer Tell me how it goes / Tell me what it's like / Tell me what to do Come a little closer So you won't be the only one who knows / So you can make me feel, feel alright / 'Cause I think I could fall in love with you Good looking girls And better looking boys It's automatic It's automatic when you know what you're doing It's so easy It's so easy when you know how to screw things up But you do it You do it anyway Cause it's easier to pretend that you weren't wrong And throw it all away It's so pathetic It's so pathetic when you don't know what's going on Almost impressive Almost impressive when you find out what you do wrong And well maybe It works out in the end But until then you just keep telling yourself That it's all pretend

The Man With the Metal Heart 04:18
lyrics
buy track
So pull me, pull me Pull a little closer With everyone so magnetic And tease me, tease me Make me fall in love Restart my heart with your magic Oh no, I've fallen in love again That's the third time this day I need to get my heart checked out I need to throw it away It's just a little harder, a fall a little further When the heartbreak's all in your head Cause the stories and lives of the girls that walk by Will be made up by me instead Oh, I'm so helplessly in love With the thought of being in love with you But all my dreams are built on desperation So it feels like there's nothing I can do And she won't know just what she's doing Or what she's doing is now doing to me But it's all in my mind, the same every time So I've got to let myself down gently God damn my metal heart It's gonna tear me apart And god damn your magnetic touch That made me fall in love

Closer to the Girl 05:49
lyrics
buy track
She makes me feel a little closer To how the world's supposed to be She needs to be a little closer She feels so far away from me There must be something in the way That she looks at me That says that things will be okay Just wait and see I see her smile out the corner of my eye I feel a warmth and I don't know why But she pulls me closer to the edge of the seat of life She moves the world at her own pace And she won't slow down My world becomes a brighter place When she's around I'm gonna catch up to her one day And if I do I won't know what to say Cause she'll have took all my words and breath away There was a moment when we saw into Each others eyes She smiled so radiant and pure And yet kinda shy And I didn't say a word that night Cause that moment could last me a lifetime To be next to her, well I would die

The Replacements 05:28
lyrics
buy track
I think it's getting out of hand I can't hold on to the end And I know it's getting to my head Because I've become so obsessed I think it's time to just admit But I don't think it'll help me quit Cause my addiction's getting stronger by the minute And it seems much easier To sit inside than going out there Cause I don't think that I can handle the pressure She lets me do anything I please Holding hands right through the tv screen She fills the void that loneliness brings to me And she seems so hard to shove Because I think I need her too much And now I'm walking alone with this crutch It must be time to let her go I can't face myself when I'm alone She helps me ease my mind and just let go Can't stop myself from coming back And before she fades to black She helps replace everything that I lack

Killing Me 03:45
lyrics
buy track
Is it easier to move on From things that happened Than things that never could have been I think the things I never said Have left me for dead And now you're under my skin And you don't know but it's killing me The things I'll never know that weren't meant to be And you don't know that it's killing me But it is I hope that you're happy With everything you've got I hope that you're at peace And you're everything I'm not I think of reasons to forget The things that I regret Because there's not much else And you don't know but it's killing me The things I'll never know that weren't meant to be And you don't know that it's killing me But it is I just hope it's not killing you Like it's killing me I just hope it's not killing you Like it's killing me I just wish I could know if we Were even meant to be But now it's killing me

20 04:05
lyrics
buy track
I'm 20 years old And what have I done Nothing to show to for Anything at all I'm 20 years old So what do I do Is it way too soon To be looking for you Whatever happened To all of the dreams that we used to have Did they just fade away Like stars in a sunrise and cloudy days Hang over my head Remind me of things I can't forget Like brandings burnt onto my mind I've burnt out and can't rewind I'll never forget you No matter how hard I seem to try Your smile could save my life But not that I'd get what I need tonight So send on my way So send me an army to fight this war Send me a damsel in distress Send me a home that's worth fighting for I don't wanna die alone But I don't feel in control I just wanna feel like I belong Just give me some hope and I might hold on I've thrown away chances I've hid from my fears I've battled and fought with remorse It's gotten me nowhere So give me just one shot And maybe a dozen more to miss Cause if I can tell the truth I could use the practice

Kamikaze Pilot 03:14
lyrics
buy track
I think my heart's had enough Time to get what I want to love I wasted so much damn time So I can't wait to make you mine Setting sail into mystery Over seas of destiny Can't get what I want I'll take what I need And she won't quite know it yet But she's got a bounty on her head And I won't be coming for her dead I'm a kamikaze pilot Flying high above the night And I'm gonna take you out once you're in my sight And take cover cause I'm 'bout to blow This rusted metal heart is known to explode And I'll help you to your feet if you help me back on my own

Anywhere Else 04:24
lyrics
buy track
She wants to live in the moment But no one lives forever I don't think I can wait for her any longer She wantsa night to remember She wants to be forgotten Anywhere else and I could not let that happen I find myself alone in the world I better start looking for love And I'm so new, I get lost when I don't know what to do Then I see her walking around She looks at me like she wants to get down And I know that that's all she came to do Oh I'm a fool Another opportunity missed I'm shaking and I'm doing the twist I wish I didn't care but I'm lying to myself I know she's only here for good times And to try and feel a little less lonely tonight And I just wanna feel the same, less lonely alright For the rest of my life

Plan of Action 03:58
lyrics
buy track
I need a plan of action The worst part is waiting for something to happen The worst part is feeling like you're going nowhere I gotta say gotta say something to her It seems to be that love is for the opportunists I like to think that I am an optimist It could be better, can't get much worse But only when I think about how much it hurts The ignorance to love might truly be bliss I found myself by searching for a missing person Think now I know better but I still haven't found them Maybe I'll find them if I stop looking And I'm the king of over thinking things Cause you showed up and I might just change the description Sometimes I think that I'm in the right place Conversational, pleasant enough, and not a waste of space Is it too much to ask, I don't need an award Maybe it is, I don't need to be adored But I find myself wishing I had something witty to say

Becoming Magnetic 05:00
lyrics
buy track
I know I want to settle down But I need my brain to just calm down Learn how to crawl before I run The only one that I should be looking out for is number one Give me some time to think things through So pre-occupied with what to do There's better places I could be So why the hell do I think someone should be loving me Taking time off from living here Avert your eyes and it becomes crystal clear Hindsight can tell you where to go But I haven't been there yet, so I don't know I need some time to settle down Into this life that I've thrown around Learn how to live before die Rearrange the puzzle pieces until I see myself smile
