WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER

Thank god I found my way back home, and it sure feels right flying in tonight

(Remember all the pranks we played?)

But thinkin' back to when we were young we were always on the run

(I miss it all)

So let's look back at what we had

We drank, (until the sun came up)

We sang, (until the cops showed up)

My friends, i'll never forget you

When we were younger

We'd skip, (every single class)

We drove, (our parents to kick our ass)

My friends, i'll never forget you

When we were younger

And now it's time like this I wonder how my life coulda been if I stayed

Would all that fun slip away?

(Remember all the joints we rolled?)

Cause the funniest party I remember was when we burnt your whole place down

(I miss it all)

The memories remain with me

Take my hand and let's walk back in time, when we'd all talk

And close your eyes and you can see the faces, and all the places

Where we'd get into all those fights, and all the streets we'd terrorize at night

Oh, when we were young

ONE LAST TIME

Stop calling me now, you�re making this way too hard

And don�t bother with how you wished we weren�t apart

Never thought you could be

The one to end up walking out on me for life

Well I remember how it went; you hid it from the start

Another man in our own bed, was how we fell apart

Never thought you could be

The one to give it up for sex and lies

But I won�t lie, �cause I�ve been dreaming of you all night

Just one last time

Well I�ve got to taste your dirty tongue in my mouth

There�s so many words to describe how I feel

Rip your skirt off; make you beg me for more

Cause tonight I�m closing the door

Now I�m dancing on glass, it hides away the pain

Till my world is spinning fast, now you�re standing in the rain

Never thought I would be

Here opening the door for you tonight

But I won�t lie, �cause I�ve been dreaming of you all night

So come inside

MISS HOLLYWOOD

Beverly to Hollywood and even Bel-Air, Santa Monica to Downtown, I don�t care

Woh, I�ll show you what it�s like to get dirty, with a rock star tonight

Down Sunset I�m wet cause you don�t stop, I�m on fire in the hills cause you�re so hot

Woh, I�ll show you what it�s like to get dirty, with a rock star tonight

Surfs up, its time to get some honey with ten models at a beachside party

Well summertime is here LA (california sun, I�m havin� too much fun)

Now I�m in town for one night only, enough time for you to get to know me

So Miss Hollywood come on (get down tonight till the morning light)

Woh, I�ll make you feel alright, and throw out your fears you have inside

So don�t hold back just let out your fantasies tonight

Let your hair down I�ll make you feel alright

(Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Dakara Land)

Last call, bottoms up, I�m on a mission, even when there ain�t no competition

So what time is it LA? (love makin� time, I�m gunna make you mine)

I know you want it, cause you show it on your face

Buckle up, down the highway to your place

So Miss Hollywood come on, (last chance tonight, so set this town a light)

PHOTOGRAPH

All over magazines, a model you�re a super star

You�re sent from heaven, but a devil down on boulevard

I hear you�re at the troubadour tonight, oh yeah

Gotta get to you I�ve got you in my sights, tonight in LA, in LA right!

Well I�ll take you home tonight, and we�ll leave on all the lights

So baby, unhook your strap, cause tonight I want your photograph

Can�t help but touch you while the two of us are standing there

It�s too electric, man I gotta get you outta here

I see you left your boy at home tonight,

So funny, cause you�re too dirty to wear white in the city of angels, you�re the devil right!

Take you home tonight, leave on all the lights

Baby don�t get too fast, how I want your photograph

SHADY EYES

I can't believe all the lies you said, but you got me

When you pulled your legs spread

You were just a waste of time and the worst thing I could find

Now you say it like its all true, but it�s a shame I see right through you

You ain't worth a single dime and without you I�ll be fine

So go back to your world where you get on well,

But don�t let me hear you ask me why

I left you all alone here to die, and it feels so good, you hurt inside

And while you spread both your thighs for the next 5 dollar bill

I�ll be weary when I see shady eyes

Human eyes can�t be so shady; I must�ve been just a little crazy,

There was one thing on my mind; I could have you any night

Now you come back but it's over, gave up when you couldn't stay sober

Ain't a place that I can find, a thought of you inside my mind

So go back to your world, they�ve all got that smell

Where girls shake their ass, gets a dollar to sell

So go back to your world where you get on well

But don�t let me hear you ask me why

If only you could open your eyes and see

That you are only human and life isn�t free

Oh and all of your make up, it just happens to be

A sad way to hide from your insecurities

COMATOSE

Now you tell me that this time won�t be the same

It�s funny cause� some thing�s will never change

I know I�ve got to get out

Before you come around and you make me believe

The shit that you do to try to keep me here

Should�ve known from the first time to stay clear

I know it won�t be long now

Till I give into you and trust you again

Well you just take me and rape me, and strip me of my pride

And you just beat me, still hate me, and tear apart my life

And though I�m tired of dying I still love you to the bones

But I�m running tonight

Now we shoot up, you�ve got me up against the door

It�s all too much and then I hit the floor

I know I�ve got to get out

It�s all spinning around, �cause you gave me relief

The shit that we take runs up and down my veins

Its funny cause� some thing�s will never change

I know it won�t be long now

Till I listen to you, and love you again

CRYSTAL

Today I sit right next to you and as I hear you speak

Can�t seem to think, I�m so amazed that I forget to breathe

The way your hair just seems to sit onto your flawless skin

And all the things that I�d give up to see your face again

Tonight I slap myself to sleep and try to kill this dream

To think a girl like you could fall for someone fucked like me

But it�s not easy to give up on my insanity

When I see you looking up and staring back at me

Now everything comes out

I will live you, and breathe you, I�d give up without you

Well now you know your kiss still burns and

I will love you, and bleed you, stand tall to shield you

Well now you know your kiss still burns and

Your innocence it resonates from your big crystal eyes

I�ve lost myself in them before;

And how I long to lay with you under the cover sheets

Turn up the heater on the floor and kiss you sexually

Well I just wanna shout it out

So what if I could change, and try to rearrange

To be the man you need, please come and set me free

Just let me hold your hand, I�ll be there till the end

I�ve loved you all along, so baby come back

And there are days I wont give in and weeks that seem so tough,

But there are years or maybe more when I'm not good enough

To be around a girl like you I cannot break in two,

And be the one who makes it right and fights the war for you

HOME

Wish you could be here in my hotel room too

It�s been so long I can�t wait to see

If you�ve gotten any prettier from the day I met you

I hope you haven�t forgotten about me

And as I walk through the rain I�ll let it wash my fear

Even though you�re miles away, I still know you�re near

And every time you call you make me drift away

Even just to hear your voice gets me through the day

Now I�m fine cause

I�m headin� home for you, and baby it�s been so damn long

All this time without, without you, know that it felt so damn wrong

But I had to let you go, and learn to set you free

I guess you will never, never know what you mean to me, oh home

Never been so scared to look in your eyes

Cause� this time I know it�s for real

So many things I gotta say to you

So many questions

If only you could show me how you feel

And as I drug my brain, anything to fill this hole

Even though it�s hard to say

I still need your soul

And every time you call you make me drift away

Even just to hear your voice gets me through the day

And I know, oh I know it�s been hard on your own

But now that I found you I�m counting down the days till I see your pretty face

And I think of the way that I left you that day

Never wanted to go, I couldn�t let my fear show

But you still stuck around, even when I fell to the ground

I didn�t think you�d stay true, after all that I put you through

Baby you make everything right, but I�m still in the fight

Cause you never gave up on your love for me

Now I am free

Even when it seems too far, even when you lose all hope

Doesn�t matter where you are, I could never let you go

Don�t care what it takes, and now that I�ve found you

We are fine cause� now we are home

I�M COMING BACK FOR YOU

Paperwork put to rest, all our blood on the floor

Our windows are shattered, you point to the door

Memories are still hung above some holes left in the wall

Carpet stains, broken plates, we can�t do this anymore

And with sandpaper I scratch away the secrets I�ve always kept from you

That makes you realize that your trust in me is paper thin

So everyday I see your face and it reminds me of the way

How all the shame i feel burns inside of me

For you, I've got to walk away and go unwillingly

But remember I�m coming back for you

Time to leave you alone, no more sharing the bed

I tried to build your life but broke it instead

With no shirt on my back, I have nothing to wear

The only moment you�re happy is when I�m not there

Like sandpaper I have stripped you all the way down

To your frail bones and disregard your skin

And with sandpaper I scratch away the secrets I�ve always kept from you

That makes you realize that your trust in me is paper thin

Well I can�t define the fire inside cause the methamphetamine is somewhere to hide

So now you will see, cause I�m in too deep I will go, I�m leaving you so I can grow
