albums: let it burn; blue skies, broken hearts...next 12 exits; look forward to failure
song: san dimas high school football rules
last night i had a dream that we went to disneyland,
went on all the rides, didn't have to wait in line.
i drove you to your house where we stared up at the stars
i listened to your heartbeat as i held you in my arms.

we hung out at the rainbow where we drank til' half past two.
nothing could go wrong anytime that i'm with you.
like crashing a hotel room or leading up to that first kiss
or searching for a high school that you know doesn't exist...

these are the things that make me free
i feel like i'm stuck in "stand by me"
this night was too good to be true.

today i woke up alone wishing you were here with me,
i wanted us to be something that we'd probably never be.
today you called me up and said you'd see me at our show,
but now i'm stuck debating if i even wanna go.

whitney, don't you understand that what i say is true?
i just want you to know i have a major crush on you.
i'd drive you to las vegas and do the things you wanna do
i'd even have wayne newton dedicate a song to you.

i only wish that this could be
just dump your boyfriend and go out with me
i swear i'd treat you like a queen.

album: end is forever
song: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start
today was a good day.
i didn't even have to use my a.k.
at least i didn't get my heart broken anyway
wasting time in east new jersey.
guess i could tell you 'bout
the snow covered rooftops,
sunsets, shooting stars and picturesque backdrops.
or how i went and hung out at quick-stop
and pretended that i was in clerks.

sometimes you gotta stop and remember
that your not gonna live forever.
be young, think smart, stay true
and just follow your heart.

remember the times we watched "karate kid"
and memorized every line
skipped school and went to the arcade
hung out and played galaga all day.
stole a car and we drove to michigan.
600 miles with no destination.
except to get in the car and drive
and see where we'll end up.

sometimes you gotta stop and remember.
that your not gonna be young forever.
think smart, have fun, stay true
and don't ever grow up.

out of all i've learned in life
you always keep your friends close to your heart.
'cause who will help you if you're falling down.

and everything is o.k.
