Things I'll Never Say
[Verbal Acoustics]

I'm tuggin' at my hair
I'm pullin' at my clothes
I'm tryin to keep my cool
I know it shows

I'm staring at my feet
My cheeks are turning red
I'm searching for the words inside my head

And I'm feeling nervous
Tryin' 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 comin' out we're not going anywhere
So why can't I just tell you that I care

'Cause I'm feeling nervous
Tryin' to be so perfect
'Cause I know you're worth it, you're worth it
Yeah...

If I could say what I wanna 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 wanna 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 is)What's wrong with my tongue?
These words keep slipping away
(I stutter)I stutter (I stumble)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...

Complicated
uuh..life's like this
uuh..uuh...that's the way it is
life's like this..
uuh..uuh..that's the way it is

Chill out what cha yellin for
Lay back its 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 talkin to me one on one
but you become

Somebody else round everyone else
You're watchin' your back
like you can't relax
you're tryin to be cool you look like a fool to me.

tell me

CHORUS:
why'd you have to go and make things so complicated
see the way your actin' like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
lifes like this you fall, and you crawl, and you break, and you take, what you get and turn it into , honesty promise me I'm never gonna find ya fake it no no no...
-

you come over unannouced dressed up like you're something else
where you are and where it's at you see you're making me,
laugh out when you strike your pose take off all your preppy clothes you know your not fooling anyone when you become

somebody else round everyone else you're watchin your back
like you can't relax, your trying to be cool, you look like a fool to me,

tell me

(repeat CHORUS)

chill out what you yellin 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 watchin your back, like you can't relax,
you're tryin to be cool, you look like a fool to me

tell me

(repeat CHORUS 2x)

My World
Please tell me what is takin' 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 a cover-up,
Always beat the boys up,
Grew up in a five thousand 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 sleepin',
And think to myself,
Where do I belong forever,
In whose arms, the time and place?

Can't help it 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,
Washin' my hair in the shower,
It always takes five hours to make it straight,
So I'll braid it in a zillion braids,
Though it may take all friggin' day,
There's nothin' 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.

Can't help it 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,
Will someone be and not pretend?
I'm off again in my World

(la la la la)

Take some time,
Mellow out,
Party up,
But don't fall down,
Don't get caught,
Sneak out of the house.

Can't help it 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,
Will someone be and not pretend?
I'm off again in my World

Can't help it 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,
Will someone be and not pretend?
I'm off again in my world

Sk8ter Boy
he was a boy 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 their nose
They had a problem with his baggy clothes...

He was a skater boy
She said "see ya later boy"
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

Five years from now, she sits at home
Feeding the baby, she's all alone

She turns on T.V., guess who she sees
Skater boy rocking on MTV

She calls up her friends, they already know
And they've all got tickets to see his show

she tags along, stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turned down

He was a skater boy
She said "see ya later boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a superstar
Slammin on his guitar
Did your pretty face see what he's worth?

He was a skater boy
She said "see ya later boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a superstar
Slammin on his guitar
Did your pretty face see what he's worth?

sorry girl, but you missed out
Well tough luck that boy's mine now

We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends

Too bad that you couldn't see
See the man that boy could be

There is more than meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside

He's just a boy 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 boy
I said "see ya later boy"
I'll be backstage after the show
I'll be at a studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know.

I'm with the skater boy
I said "see ya later boy"
I'll be backstage after the show
I'll be at a studio
Singing the song we wrote
About the girl you used to know.

Who Knows
Yeah Yeah Yeah-ya Yeah-ya
Why do you look so familiar
I could swear that I
Have seen your face before
I think I like that you seem sincere
I think I'd like to get
To know you a little bit more

I think there's something more
Life's worth living for

Who knows what could happen
Do what you do
Just keep on laughing
One thing's true
There's always a brand new day
I'm gonna live today like it's my last day

How do you always have an opinion
And how do you always find
The best way to compromise
We don't need to have a reason
We don't need anything
We're just wasting time

I think there's something more
Life's worth living for

Who knows what could happen
Do what you do
Just keep on laughing
One thing's true
There's always a brand new day

Who knows what could happen
Do what you do
Just keep on laughing
One thing's true
There's always a brand new day
I'm gonna live today like it's my last day

Find yourself
'Cause I can't find you
Be yourself
Who are you?
Find yourself
'Cause I can't find you
Be yourself
Who are you?

Who knows what could happen
Do what you do
Just keep on laughing
One thing's true
There's always a brand new day

So you go make it happen
Do your best
Just keep on laughing
I'm telling you
There's always a brand new day

Who knows what could happen
Do what you do
Just keep on laughing
One thing's true
There's always a brand new day
I'm gonna live today like it's my last day
