Complicated
Uh huh, life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is

La la la la la la ('cause life's like this)
La la la la la la (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 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

CHORUS
Why'd 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 
Honestly, you promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no no

You come over unannounced
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 you're not fooling anyone
When you 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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS X 2


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?
Cuz you weren't there when I was scared, I was so alone
You, you need to listen 
I'm starting to trip,
I'm losing my grip and I'm in this thing alone

Am I just some chick you place 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 ok 
I was left to cry there, waiting outside there, grinning with a lost stare
That's when I decided

CHORUS

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?
Cuz you weren't there when I was scared, I was so alone
Why should I care?
Cuz 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? 
Cuz 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


Sk8er Boi
He was a boy, she was a girl
Can I make it any more 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 you 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 tv, guess who she sees?
Skater boy rockin' up 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 you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a superstar, slammin' on his guitar
Does her pretty face see what's he's worth

He was a skater boy, she said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a superstar, slammin' on his guitar
Does her pretty face see what's 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 that 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 you later boy
I'll be backstage after the show
I'll be at the studio singing the song we wrote
About a girl he used to know

I'm with the skater boy, I said see you later boy
I'll be backstage after the show
I'll be at the studio singing the song we wrote
About a girl he used to know


I'm With You
I'm standing on a 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

Isn't anyone tryin' 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 dont know who you are
But I'm, 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 everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone

Isn't anyone tryin' to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?

CHORUS

Oh, why is everything so confusing?
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yeah yeah yeah

CHORUS

Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
But I'm, 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'm, 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

CHORUS
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 light
I'm waking up to say I've tried
Instead of waking up to another TV Guide
Its time now
I turn around
Turn and walk on this crazy ground
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 la la la la la
La la 
La la la la la la
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
I'm a mobile
Everywhere I go I'm a mobile


Unwanted
All they 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 out
Make me go away

No, I just don't understand why
You won't talk to me
It hurts
Until I'm wanted for nothing
Don't talk words against me
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you

CHORUS

I tried to be long
It didn't seem wrong
My head aches
It's been so long
I write this song
That's what it takes

CHORUS X 2

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 okay
Yeah, 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, today, today, today, 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, today, today, today, today
Oh

CHORUS

Hey, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah
And I know I'm not ready
Hey, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah
Maybe tomorrow
Hey, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah
I'm not ready
Hey, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah
Maybe tomorrow

And I wanna believe you
When you tell me that it'll be okay
Yeah, I try to believe you
Not today, today, today, today, today
Tomorrow it may change
Tomorrow it may change
Tomorrow it may change
Tomorrow it may change


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 wanna scream
It makes me feel alive

CHORUS
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breathe?
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

I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

Let down your defences
Use no common sense
If you look you will see
that this world is beautiful
accident turbulent suculent
opulent permanent
No way I won't taste it
Don't wanna waste it away

Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby

Is it enough?
Is it enough?
Is it enough to breathe?
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
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please


Things I'll Never Say
La da da da La da da da...

I’m tugging 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 turning red
I’m searching for the words inside my head
I’m feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
'Cause I know you’re worth it
You’re worth it
Yeah

CHORUS
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

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 ain’t coming out
We’re not going anywhere
So why can’t I just tell you that I care
'Cause I’m feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
'Cause I know you’re worth it
You’re worth it
Yeah

CHORUS

What’s wrong with my tongue
These words keep slipping away
I stutter
I stumble
Like I’ve got nothing to say
Yes, I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
'Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah

La da da da La da da da...

Yes, I’m wishing my life away
With these things I’ll never say

CHORUS

These things I'll never say


My World
Please tell me what is takin' place
Cuz I can't seem to find a trace
Guess it must have got erased somehow
Probably cuz 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 boys up
Grew up in a five thousand population town
Made my money by cutting grass
Got fired by 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
But sometimes I can't even speak
Will 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 a 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
But 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
I 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
But 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
But sometimes I can't even speak
Will someone be and not pretend?
I'm off again in my world


Nobody's Fool
(Step up, step up) step up
(Step up, step up) step up
(Step up, step up, 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 you
Let me know
And I'll go
'Cuz I flow
Better when my colors show

And that's the way it has to be
Honestly
'Cuz creativity
Could never bloom
In my room
I'd throw it all away before I lie
So don't call me with a compromise
Hang up the phone
I've got a backbone
Stronger than yours
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
Yeah yeah yeah

If you're trying to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see I'm not down with that
(I'm not nobody's fool) I'm not nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen enough and I'm over that
(I'm not nobody's fool) I'm not nobody's fool
And if you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try

You don't know
You think you know me like yourself
But I fear
That you're only telling me what I wanna 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 hearing but not so soon
I might've fallen for that when I was fourteen
In a little more dream
But it's amazing what a couple of years can mean
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
Yeah yeah

If you're trying to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see I'm not down with that
(I'm not nobody's fool) I'm not nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen enough and I'm over that
(I'm not nobody's fool) I'm not nobody's fool
And if you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try

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 try to figure out
Exactly what I'm about
If it's with or without you
I don't need you doubtin' me

If you're trying to turn me into someone else
Its easy to see I'm not down with that
(I'm not nobody's fool) I'm not nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen enough and I'm over that
(I'm not nobody's fool) I'm not nobody's fool
And if you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try
Try

La la la la la la (yeah yeah)
La la la la la la la (yeah yeah)
La la la la la la (oh)
La la la la la la (would you be laughing out loud)
La la la la la la la (if I played to my own crowd)
La la la la la la (try)


Too Much To Ask
It's the first time I ever felt this lonely
I wish someone could cure this pain
It's funny when you think it's gonna work out
Til you chose weed over me, you're so lame
I thought you were cool until the point
But up until the point you didn't call me
When you said you would
I finally figured out you're all the same
Always coming up with some kind of story

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 it too much that I'm asking for?

I thought you'd come around when I ignored you
So I 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 grow up feeling sorry for yourself
Everytime I try to make you laugh
You stand like a stone
Alone in your zone
Is it too much that I'm asking 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

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
It was too much that I'm asking 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
'Cause life is like a game sometimes

But 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

Because 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
I guess I never had someone like you
To help me, to help me fit
In my skin

I 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 yeah yeah 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


I Don't Give
Every time you go away
It actually kinda makes my day
Every time you leave, you slam the door
You pick your words so carefully
You hate to think you’re hurting me
You leave me laughing on the floor cause…

CHORUS
I don’t give it up
I don’t give a damn
What you say about that
You know I don’t give it up
I don’t give a damn
What you say about that
You know I’m not gonna cry
About some stupid guy
A guy who thinks he’s all that

I thought we were just hanging out
So why’d you kiss me on the mouth
You thought the way you’d taste
Would get me high
You went to all your friends to brag
Guys are always such a drag
Don’t you know the reason that I kissed you
Was to say goodbye

CHORUS

Hanging, hanging out
I am simply hanging, hanging out
I am simply hanging
So why’d you kiss me on the mouth
Don’t you know that I…

I don’t give a damn about you
I won’t give it up now for you
I don’t give a damn about you
I won’t give it up now for you
I’m not gonna cry about some stupid guy
A guy who thinks he’s all that

I don’t give it up
I don’t give a damn
What you say about that
You know I don’t give it up
I don’t give a damn
What you say about that...
