1. THIS IS HOW WE DO

Show us off to all your friends,
We're the trophy boys from here to if and when,
We break and break your dreams of,
keeping us a secret.
We're the back-pocket believers,
We're the locals who went postal,
Call it treason while you can.

I'm just a face for every picture,
A smile for your scrap-books,
And a story to be told, and told, but I'm
But I'm loving every second
So commemorate this hour,
As the last I spend regretting what I have.

Boys, raise your glasses,
Girls, shake those...
(Get up, get up, get up!)
We're the party,
You're the people;
Let's make this night a classic.
We play, you move
(Come on let me hear you!)
We're the party, you're the people,
And this is how we,
This is how we do.

The curtain's rising,
I'm forgetting where I've been.
I watch the lights go up,
On a star without his screen.
Set it off and sing it back.
Direction's keeping me on track.
But I'll admit, I do it all for the attention.

I'm just a face for every picture,
A smile for your scrap-books,
And a story to be told, and told, but I'm,
But I'm loving every second
So commemorate this hour,
As the last I spend regretting what I have.

Boys, raise your glasses,
Girls, shake those...
(Get up, get up, get up!)
We're the party,
You're the people;
Let's make this night a classic.
We play, you move
(Come on let me hear you!)
We're the party, you're the people,
And this is how we,
This is how we do.



2. LET IT ROLL LISTEN

The time on the clock reads half past four;
I'm wide awake and thinking
With my pillow on the floor
That maybe I'm just wasting my time dreaming
In a harsh reality
I don't wanna wake up just to find out
I've been deceived...

Let it roll
Our time is fleeting so we take control
From California to my home sweet home
Our days repeating like it's all we know
It's all we know

Out here the hills roll on for miles
The sun is like my own sense of direction
I'm always drawn to each horizon
When it's rising, when it sets
But all I can think about is sex
And playing one more game of six-cup
In the backyard at "The Wedge"
I know I'll never die alone because of all of you...

Let it roll
Our time is fleeting so we take control
From California to my home sweet home
Our days repeating like it's all we know
It's all we know

Take, take a breath
We've got all the time in the world
To get a grip on the fact
That we don't last
But right now I want to watch the tide roll in
With my best friends

Let it roll
Our time is fleeting so we take control
From California...

Let it roll
Our time is fleeting so we take control
From California to my home sweet home
Let it roll
It's all we know
It's all we know!



3. SIW FEET UNDER THE STARS

Time to lay claim to the evidence
Fingerprints sold me out
But our footprints washed away from the docks downtown
It's been getting late for days
And I think myself deserving of a little time off
We can kick it hang for hours
And just mouth off about the world
And how we know it's going straight to hell

Pass me another bottle, honey
The Jager's so sweet
But if it keeps you around then I'm down

Meet me on Thames Street
I'll take you out though I'm hardly worth your time
In the cold you look so fierce, but I'm warm enough
Because the tension's like a fire
We'll hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes
And like a bad movie, I'll drop a line
Fall in the grave I've been digging myself
But there's room for two
Six feet under the stars

I should have known better than to call you out
(On a night like this, a night like this)
If not for you, I know I'd tear this place to the ground
(But I'm alright like this, alright like this)
I'm gonna roll the dice before you sober up and get gone
(I'm always in over my head)

Thames Street
I'll take you out though I'm hardly worth your time
In the cold you look so fierce, but I'm warm enough
Because the tension's like a fire
We'll hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes
And like a bad movie, I'll drop a line
Fall in the grave I've been digging myself
But there's room for two
Six feet under the stars

Time to lay claim to the evidence
Fingerprints sold me out
But our footprints washed away
I'm guilty, but I'm safe for one more day
Overdressed and underage (what a let down)
"Do you really need to see an ID?"
This is embarrassing as hell (what a let down)
But I can cover for it so well
When we're six feet under the stars

Thames Street
I'll take you out though I'm hardly worth your time
In the cold you look so fierce, but I'm warm enough
Because the tension's like a fire
We'll hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes
And like a bad movie, I'll drop a line
Fall in the grave I've been digging myself
But there's room for two
Six feet under the stars
Six feet under the stars
Six feet under the stars




4. HOLLY (WOULD YOU TURN ME ON ?)

When you gonna give it up?
You're giving me such a rush
Come on Holly, would you turn me on?

You are the taste of something sweet
And I'm tangled in the sheets
You left your mark, dragged down my back
So chain me up, I'm in too deep
Too much of you is never enough

When you gonna give it up?
You're giving me such a rush
Come on Holly, would you turn me on?
Just another pretty face,
But I want one more taste
Come on Holly, would you turn me on?

Just one fix
To keep me in the mix
And I'm still strung out on you
Drove all night
I'm the deer in your headlights
What's left of me you'll swallow soon
Too much of you is never enough

So when you gonna give it up?
You're giving me such a rush
Come on Holly, would you turn me on?
Just another pretty face,
But I want one more taste
Come on Holly, would you turn me on?

You took what you wanted
You got it, you know it
I'm haunted by everything that you gave me
You made me, you broke me, you saved me
I'm crazy, but I'm not done

So when you gonna give it up?
You're giving me such a rush
Come on Holly, would you turn me on?
(Holly, would you turn me on?)
Just another pretty face,
But I want one more taste
Come on Holly, would you turn me on?

When you gonna give it up?
You're giving me such a rush
Come on Holly, would you turn me on?
Just another pretty face,
But I want one more taste
Come on Holly, would you turn me on?



5. THE BEACH

Well, you're a long walk from my street
And I'm dying in this summer heat
I hope like hell you're waiting, waiting

Everybody's living like they're crazy in love
I'm a dizzy mess and everything is so above me
From the floor I found the life I lead today

Well they can take, take, take the kids from the summer
But they'll never, never, never take the summer from me
It was the very first time that I lost my mind for the week
They can't make, make, make me forget the weather
If I never, never, never wash the sand from my feet
It was the very last time, then we said goodbye to the beach
(We were showing off, we were showing off our teeth)

So make one last call back home
'Cause tonight we go it alone
And I hope that you know I'm waiting, waiting...
(Tell me do you feel me?)

Everybody's singing like we're crazy in love
We made a dizzy mess of everything and it was enough
To bring all the boys and all the girls together

Well they can take, take, take the kids from the summer
But they'll never, never, never take the summer from me
It was the very first time that I lost my mind for the week
They can't make, make, make me forget the weather
If I never, never, never wash the sand from my feet
It was the very last time, then we said goodbye to the beach
(We were showing off, we were showing off our teeth)

You're going out in style and I'm getting tired
Of all your lying, (Tell me do you feel me, listen can you hear it?)
Stop pretending, stop (Cave in and believe me, open up and scream it)
The answer's in the smile, and I'm coming clean
Just give me something, (Tell me do you feel me, listen can you hear it?)
Stop pretending (Cave in and believe me, open up and scream it)

Well they can take, take, take the kids from the summer
But they'll never, never, never take the summer from me
It was the very first time that I lost my mind for the week
They can't make, make, make me forget the weather (Make one last call back home)
If I never, never, never wash the sand from my feet (tonight we go it alone)
It was the very last time, then we said goodbye to the Beach (And I hope that you know I'm waiting)
(We were showing off, we were showing off our teeth)




6. DEAR MARIA, COUNT ME IN

I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen

When the lights go up
I want to watch the way you take the stage by storm
The way you wrap those boys around your finger
Go on and play the leader
'Cause you know it's what you're good at;
The low road for the fast track
Make every second last

'Cause I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen
Make it count when I'm the one who's selling you out
'Cause it feels like stealing hearts
Calling your name from the crowd

Live and let live
You'll be the showgirl of the home-team
I'll be the narrator
Telling another tale of the American dream
I see your name in lights
We can make you a star
Girl, we'll take the world by storm
It isn't that hard...

'Cause I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen
Make it count when I'm the one who's selling you out
'Cause it feels like stealing hearts
Calling your name from the crowd
Whoa...

Ha ha..

Take a breath
Don't it sound so easy?
Never had a doubt
Now I'm going crazy
Watching from the floor

Take a breath
And let the rest come easy
Never settle down
'Cause the cash flow leaves me
Always wanting more

'Cause I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen
Make it count when I'm the one who's selling you out
'Cause it feels like stealing hearts
Calling your name from the crowd

'Cause I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle...



7. SHAMELESS

Hips sway and lips lie
Like clock-work she's in control
Of all the right guys
And I'm still waiting

Fitted hats and a car alarm in
her high-tops with her favorite song
She's showing off
The way she walks
It's on...

Take me, show me (Whoa oh, whoa oh)
The corners of your empty room
The trouble we could get into, just
Fake it for me (Whoa oh, whoa oh)
Disregard the footsteps
And we'll never tell a soul

Tonight I'm finding a way
To make the things that you say
Just a little less obvious

I walk a fine line
Between the right and the real
They watch me closely
But talk is cheap here

Like a weightless currency
Your words don't mean shit to me
I'm always cashing out

Take me, show me (Whoa oh, whoa oh)
The corners of your empty room
The trouble we could get into, just
Fake it for me (Whoa oh, whoa oh)
Disregard the footsteps
And we'll never tell a soul

Tonight I'm finding a way
To make the things that you say
Just a little less obvious, I confess
Tonight I'm dressed up in gold
You've got me fucked up and sold;
You talk like you're famous
You're shameless

Tonight I'm finding a way
To make the things that you say
Just a little less obvious, I confess
Tonight I'm dressed up in gold
You've got me fucked up and sold;
You talk like you're famous
You're shameless

Tonight I'm finding a way
To make the things that you say
Just a little less obvious, I confess
Tonight I'm dressed up in gold
You've got me fucked up and sold;
You talk like you're famous
You're shameless



8. REMEMBERING SUNDAY
Featuring Juliet Simms of Automatic Loveletter

He woke up from dreaming and put on his shoes
Started making his way past 2 in the morning
He hasn't been sober for days

Leaning now into the breeze
Remembering Sunday, he falls to his knees
They had breakfast together
But two eggs don't last
Like the feeling of what he needs

Now this place seems familiar to him
She pulled on his hand with a devilish grin
She led him upstairs, she led him upstairs
Left him dying to get in

Forgive me, I'm trying to find
My calling, I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother,
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm going to ask her to marry me

Even though she doesn't believe in love,
He's determined to call her bluff
Who could deny these butterflies?
They're filling his gut

Waking the neighbors, unfamiliar faces
He pleads though he tries
But he's only denied
Now he's dying to get inside

Forgive me, I'm trying to find
My calling, I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother,
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm going to ask her to marry me

The neighbors said she moved away
Funny how it rained all day
I didn't think much of it then
But it's starting to all make sense
Oh, I can see now that all of these clouds
Are following me in my desperate endeavor
To find my whoever, wherever she may be

[Juliet Simms:]
I'm not coming back (forgive me)
I've done something so terrible
I'm terrified to speak (I'm not calling, I'm not calling)
But you'd expect that from me
I'm mixed up, I'll be blunt, now the rain is just (You're driving me crazy, I'm)
Washing you out of my hair and out of my mind
Keeping an eye on the world,
From so many thousands of feet off the ground, I'm over you now
I'm at home in the clouds, and towering over your head

[Alex Gaskarth:]
Well I guess I'll go home now...
I guess I'll go home now...
I guess I'll go home now...
I guess I'll go home



9. VEGAS

Tonight, we lie awake
Remember how the coffee made us shake on those long drives?
One more long night

Another seven days
Heartbeat racing
The interstate, my home tonight
For one more long night
I'm sure as hell the happiest I've ever been

We get high, we let go
We've got more than we know
My friends are a different breed
My friends are

There's a ghost in this room
I think I'll name it after all of you
And watch it hang over my bed like decorations celebrated
Memories, they came and went in light of all the time we spent
Listening to everything our parents told us not to take in

Now make a change
I'm counting down
The mile marks to every town
And falling more in love
With the distance put between us

We get high, we let go
We've got more than we know
My friends are a different breed
My friends are everything
Make this last, take it slow
We've got it all figured out for now
So let us live our lives without a doubt

Tonight we lie awake
Remember how the coffee made us shake on those long drives?
One more long night
Another seven days
Heartbeat racing
The interstate, my home tonight
For one more long night

From coast to coast, I'll make the most
Of every second I've been giving with this crowd
Without a doubt, you're all I dream about
At night we lie awake
With stories taking us back to the nights we felt alive
The nights we felt alive

I would've married you in Vegas
Had you given me the chance to say "I do"
Could I make it more obvious, could you
Be anymore obvious

I would've married you in Vegas
Had you given me the chance to say "I do"
Could I make it more obvious, could you
Be anymore obvious, could you?



10. STAY AWAKE (DREAMS ONLY LAST FOR A NIGHT)

Caught in a cold sweat
Stuck splitting hairs and drinking too much
I'm on my way to striking out
Go to sleep with the pressure of everyone watching and waiting
They're yours for the taking, but I still have my doubts

Before you ask which way to go, remember where you've been

Stay awake, get a grip and get out
You're safe from the weight of the world
Just take a second to set things straight
I'll be fine even though I'm not always right
I can count on the sun to shine
Dedication takes a lifetime
But dreams only last for a night

Figure it out
Boy, you're tripping so pull yourself together
Or you'll wash up like the rest
This ship is sinking
I'm thinking I'm done for
I'll watch as the sails disappear under water
'Cause I'm no captain yet

I said, "Before you ask which way to go, remember where you've been."

Stay awake, get a grip and get out
You're safe from the weight of the world
Just take a second to set things straight
I'll be fine even though I'm not always right
I can count on the sun to shine
Dedication takes a lifetime
But dreams only last for a night

Believe you, me
I'll give them everything
I'd tell them anything
To show them everything

Believe you, me
I'll give them everything
I'd tell them anything
To show them everything

'Cause you ain't the only ones who want to live it up
You ain't the only ones
You ain't the only ones who want to live it up
You ain't the only ones
You ain't the only ones who want to live it up
You ain't the only ones
You ain't the only ones who want to live it up
You ain't the only ones

Stay awake, get a grip and get out
You're safe from the weight of the world
Just take a second to set things straight
I'll be fine even though I'm not always right
I can count on the sun to shine
Dedication takes a lifetime
But dreams only last for a night



11. COME ONE, COME ALL

Come one, come all
You're just in time
To witness my first breakdown
Cause there's a mile gone
For every minute passed
When I'm stuck in this town

I've got a bone to pick with you, Mr. DJ
The traffic and the sound
Is just as bad as it is in LA

So go on and lock me up
You better throw away that key
Before I find out where you broadcast from
Because your play list is killing me

I'll change that station
Light it up like the 4th of July
It's me, I'm caller fifteen
Time to play my last request

Come one, come all
You're just in time
To witness my first breakdown
Cause there's a mile gone
For every minute passed
When I'm wasting space in this town
Don't call the doctors
I don't need no medication
I just need one more vacation
And make it last

Hear me out, please, judge and jury
I'm an innocent man
And it would be such a terrible injustice
To put me away without thinking about
All the terrible mistakes
That goddamn radio jockey makes
I swear he's out to get me
Oh, I swear he's out to get me

I'll change that station
Light it up like the 4th of July
It's me, I'm caller fifteen
But it's too late for explanations
This broadcast will be your last

Come one, come all
You're just in time
To witness my first breakdown
Cause there's a mile gone
For every minute passed
When I'm wasting space in this town
Don't call the doctors
I don't need no medication
I just need one more vacation
And make it last

Hear me out, please, judge and jury
And I swear he's out to get me
Oh, I swear he's out to get me
Go on and lock me up
You better throw away that key
I swear he's out to get me
I swear he's out to get me

I've got a bone to pick with you, Mr. DJ
You really ought to lock me up
Because your play list is killing me

Come one, come all
You're just in time
To witness my first breakdown
Cause there's a mile gone
For every minute passed
When I'm wasting space in this town
Don't call the doctors
I don't need no medication
I just need one more vacation
And make it last




12. POPPIN' CHAMPAGNE

You've got me poppin' champagne
I'm at it again
Caught up in the moment
But not in the right way
I'm falling in between
Tearing up at the seams
We're just aiming to please
And aesthetics don't hurt one bit

So follow me down
Take this all the way
Any way you want to

Why don't you say so?
I think I'm caught in between
The nights and days fly by
When I'm lost on the streets
And my eyes, they despise you for who I am
Why don't you say so?
Why don't you say so?

You've got me thinking that
Lately I've been wishing
The television set would show me more
Than just a picture of the things I've grown to detest
I strip down my dignity
They can take all of me
But they won't ever take what I still believe

So follow me down
Take this all the way
Any way you want to

Why don't you say so?
I think I'm caught in between
The nights and days fly by
When I'm lost on the streets
And my eyes, they despise you for who I am
Why don't you say so?
Why don't you say so?
Give up and let go
I'm just a boy with a dream
And you can take one look
As I fall in between
With my eyes just as wide as my mouth can be
Why don't you say so?
Why don't you say so?

I know, I know, I know
That there's a place for me somewhere out there
I know, I know, I know
That there's a place for me somewhere out there

Why don't you say so?
I think I'm caught in between
The nights and days fly by
When I'm lost on the streets
And my eyes, they despise you for who I am
Why don't you say so?
Why don't you say so?
Give up and let go
I'm just a boy with a dream
And you can take one look
As I fall in between
With my eyes just as wide as my mouth can be
Why don't you say so?
Why don't you say so?

[echo]
Why don't you say so? [x8]
