Nothing to Show

As I recall, it was '98
I put it off, I started late
But I felt life through my fingertips
And so I played until they split
Cyanoacrylate
I'll never be who you thought I was
I let it go; didn't want a fuss
But I recall when you said you liked me
I thought, "Man, you don't know me"
I let it go; it's just how I was
And pretty soon I'll hit the big 4-0
And I guess that I will still have nothing to show
But at least I tried, at least I tried
And in another 20 years or so
I'll be proud that I never stopped pushing
Not until I die, not until I die
Not until I die
Another day of feeling numb
Another way of feeling dumb
But I'll face my fears
year after year
And I won't stop until they're gone

Best Friend

You'd be the one to bust me out of the clink
You never hesitate to say what you think
And if I ever get to feeling real low
I look down and see your number calling on my telepone
You're my best friend
You pick me up when I am down
You're my best friend
You know I'm always happy
Whenever you come around
Remember that time way back in '03?
You were the only one who stood up for me
I hope it never happens; if it does
I'll be around and throwing down for you
forever because
<chorus>
We're all looking for someone we can trust
I'll be there without making a fuss
I hope you never mind me coming around 'cause
I'll never let you down

Life Goes On

I'd throw myself away for you
Just let me know when you want me to
'Cause I've got nothing left to lose
I've burned it all away at the altar of you
I don't know where we went wrong
All I know is you're still gone
And I can't wait around for long
because Life Goes On
It's looking like things are going to go my way
Everything's going to be okay
The sun will come up another day
'Cause life goes on
I'm sorry for the things I said
Like when I wished that you were dead
I'd take it back if I had the chance
But I still wish that we had never met

Pedigree

Cut me in
I don't know where I should begin
I guess it started way back when we were just kids
You had the biggest house I'd ever seen
My mom was the one they payed to clean it
I've got a low-class pedigree
Don't really care what you think about me
Because I'm mal-adjusted
And my dreams are busted
But I've got all I need
Here with me
And I know I'll get on
With a broken dream and a song
As we got older
All the lines we drew got bolder
While the gaps were getting wider
And the shoulders got colder
It's too bad I couldn't afford new shoes
I guess that meant I'm not as cool as you
<chorus>
I can't speak for you
(you) can't speak for me
We can only speak about what we can see
I know that nothing comes for free but
No one is working harder than me
Maybe we're all slaves in this land of free
But all it takes is just a little empathy and
The world could be a better place
We could save the human race

Old Punks

It don't seem so long ago
we'd go for rides in your Camaro
and stay out late after the show
because we had no place to go
But now moshing hurts a lot
and we never go to our favorite spots
because we all went and got jobs
but there's one thing we've still got
is we can still fucking rock!
I'm not who you want me to be
'cause I won't stop living for me
It's my life, and my choice
You get, no voice
And I'll be who I want to be
We are a special brew
so when you fall back down, I'll pick you up too
And someday I suppose, nothing won't be all we know
But we dance to the wrong songs
and the way we went ended up wrong
But the music goes on and on
And on and we will too
So what's an old punk to do?
<chorus>

Ground

She took away all of my nightmares
But she doesn't know and she doesn't care
She said to me, "You need to leave
'cause I got from you
all that I need."
Every piece and every part of me is on the ground.
Every piece and every part of me is on the ground.
I've been waiting for you to leave
'cause I'd be doing better on my own where
Every piece and every part of me is on the ground.
Sweep me away like dirt under feet
And I'll blow away and admit defeat
Every piece and every part of me is on the ground.
Every piece and every part of me is on the ground.
I've been waiting for you to leave
'cause I'd be doing better on my own where
Every piece and every part of me is on the ground.
