I remember that I kind of laughed at the sparks that spread the flames
Over all the ugly memories these past three years have made
Then I waited for the smoke to fill my lungs and suffocate my pain away

So I say goodbye and I just say so long
Almost feeling paralyzed
My still life with vital signs
And I'll just say so long

You think its strange, that there's a way
of how you looked, and how you act, and how you think
pretend they're not the same as you.

You think its strange, that there's a way
of how you looked, and how you act, and how you think
pretend they're not the same as you.

Do you think it's strange,
That there's a way
Of how you look and, how you act, and how you think,
Pretend they're not the same as you.

Do you think its strange,
That there's a way
Of how you look and, how you act, and how you think,

I remember every bridge
I ever jumped off blindly
And all my boring stories
Keep reminding me

'Cause in all honesty
I used to be an authority
On irony and remembering

Get yourself ready,
Hold your hand steady
Cause it's shaking from all this waiting.
Fingers bent your fist starts to clench,
As the pen signs the check today for the rent.
Dollars and cents, are not making sense.
We can tell em' all to go to hell. (tell them all go to hell)

Dear mom and dad,
I’ve been making plans
To leave this house and yes I’m sure
So lock the door, and turn the front porch lights out

After all the endless fights
The who’s been wrong and who’s been right
We just never saw eye to eye

I fell asleep last Saturday
Underneath polluted skies
I walked alone on those Jersey nights, and I
Saw the boardwalk start to fall
The emptiness starts to drown
The quiet corners off this town, and I...
Late last night, I made my plans
It was the only thing I felt I could do

This map hung up on the truck stop hallway door
is looking worn and I can hardly read it anymore
I feel like I'm a speck thrown on the map
and I can't help my urge to laugh
I never used to feel like that
Well I'm half awake half a world away
all my past mistakes and every wasted day
I wouldn't have it any other way

This map hung up on the truck stop hallway door
is looking worn and I can hardly read it anymore
I feel like I'm a speck thrown on the map
and I can't help my urge to laugh
I never used to feel like that
Well I'm half awake half a world away
all my past mistakes and every wasted day
I wouldn't have it any other way

Just talked to this girl,
used to live, yea, on my street. (woah-oh-oh)
After all these years you're here,
and you remember me. (woah-oh-oh)
She said her old boyfriend
packed up and headed back east.
But she always knew some day...
he would go.

I have this feeling inside that i wouldn't like me if i met me
it seems like a losing fight, if you can see thru my eyes then you'd believe me
the truth is that i'm overrated, I can't think straight I'm formulaic,
the truth is that it's sad to say it, but you can't help me

you don't see me that way, you hear the words that i say, you just tell me that my heart's in the right place,
it's the world that's confused and it's never too late to save a hopeless case

Rescue me from boring times it's a story i know line by line
different deep on the inside, isn't different if you have to try

i'm borderline day after day waiting to get knocked off my feet again
time passes by like a slow parade waiting to get knocked off my feet again
(knocked to my knees again)

the measurements of my success, are always measured in not making sense

Well I really don't know
if it matters at all so
but we try to keep the prices low
for our records and our shows
but is that
is that enough
or is (it) that we're not punk enough
or is (it) that you think ska just sucks

Ideals are like opinions and beliefs just like tradition
Sometimes both are not enough
Faded stickers and crumpled flyers
They've become the reminder
that there's an anthem in us that fits
the flag we've flown for years
I've always had this same old song
Stuck in my head for so damn long

I couldn't help but think back to the advice
that I got from my dad a few times
he said"...time goes by so fast in a blink of an eye
so never close your eyes..."
"...I always wanted something more than 50 hours every week
and a paid vacation on the jersey shoreline"
And he said
So when ambition turns into competition

And I swear it's the last time and I swear it's my last try
and we'll walk in circles around this whole block
walk on the cracks of the same old sidewalks
then we'll talk about leaving town
yeah we'll talk about leaving
I swear it's the last time, and I swear it's my last try

We rode across that bridge all night

And I swear it's the last time and I swear it's my last try
and we'll walk in circles around this whole block
walk on the cracks of the same old sidewalks
then we'll talk about leaving town
yeah we'll talk about leaving
I swear it's the last time, and I swear it's my last try

We rode across that bridge all night

Do you see me out there
Getting ready to go
Packing my frustrations away
I can always go for miles and still don't know

Why my disappointments always stay,
Packing all my frustrations away...
Why my disappointments always stay...

There's been borders and there'll be boundaries
and there's been times misidirection's found me
There's been clear heads and there'll be clean slates
and times we'd find we'd pass the night away thinking
Everyone here hates everyone here
for doing the same thing that they do
There's been new starts and they'll be no sleep
and there's been times when inspiration's found me

I can't seem to recognize, either side of this modern version or
fading person i was, i tried to memorize dates and times of old
accidents and the failed attempts now, i'm still afraid of those
mistakes i've made. i'm mostly memories, most missed
opportunities, mostly minor tragedies, i'm mostly you and me.
i'm mostly memories, mostly missed opportunities, mostly
abnormalities, i'm mostly you and me, and you and you and
me. i can't seem to recognize, either side of my conversations or

[Roger:]
So you say, all your white flags are up and that you've had enough and that you were tired of collecting dust, you say everything always looks the same and you made your brand new face to match your brand new place, you say all your distress calls have gone out and your ship is going down

[Pre-chorus]
[Chris:]
Well I say it to myself all the time,
"Stop living half and a life and stop feeling like I'm half alive."

On a Tuesday in the rain,
I never thought there'd come a day.
I never thought there'd come a day, yea.
If I put myself to the test,
would I ever raise a fist.
Would I just shut my mouth,

Maybe I’m jaded and bored
Always lookin’ for more
Waiting around for the next big fix
I know
I’m a wreck I’m a mess
But I couldn’t care less
Don’t know what it would take to change me

It's never been so crystal clear that i've been dying six months a year arguing with strangers about why i'm still here.
no on lets me forget questions about my relevance and i'm starting to believe their arguments in my self-defense
it's just my self-destructiveness and always wasting all my breath and it's still a mystery to me why i'm doubting all my dreams
all the things that i say will someday fade away when the message in the songs has kept me sane all along
the years hit like like fist to face and some days i've tried to replace this person with the same god-given name
some days i shake till noon i've tried to explain to overcrowded rooms across these states my narrow point of view
but what can i do it's just my self-destructiveness and always wasting all my breath and it's a mystery to me why i'm doubting all my dreams
all the things that i say will someday fade away when the message in these songs has kept me sane all along

I can see it all right now
his mom and dad so proud of his son and his new found wife
and I wonder if after all these years
will his dad still give him a pep talk for his wedding night?
I can smell his cousin's polo mixing with his grandpa's old spice and the
Swedish meatballs look so tempting that his two fat aunts might even fight
and his uncles have all gone drinkin'

I'm seein' red
Don't think you'll have to see my face again
don't have much time for sympathy
'cause it never happened to me
You feelin' blue now
I think you bit off more than you could chew
And now it's time to make a choice
And all I wanna hear is your...

I remember that I kind of laughed at the sparks that spread the flames
Over all the ugly memories these past three years have made
Then I waited for the smoke to fill my lungs and suffocate my pain away

So I say goodbye and I just say so long
Almost feeling paralyzed
My still life with vital signs
And I'll just say so long

Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you.
She also told me, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch."
Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that's going round.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Father says, "Your mother's right, she's really up on things."

There's a black cloud over this house
That's been around for three years now
There's a thunderstorm inside
And it won't go away
No it won't go away

That's why they call it a union
That's why they call it a union

Theres a black cloud over this house
Thats been around for three years now
Theres a thunderstorm inside
And it wont go away

Thats why they call it a union
Thats why they call it a union
So both of you please forgive me tonight

You told me that your 20 years have gone by much too fast
And you've been hoping this year will be better than the last
You said you've been waging a war against the loneliest of nights
With the strongest drinks and longest lines
It's not that big of a surprise
That you're feeling more dead than alive
You're feeling more dead than alive

You told me that your 20 years have gone by much too fast
And you've been hoping this year will be better than the last
You said you've been waging a war against the loneliest of nights
With the strongest drinks and longest lines, it's not that big of a surprise
That you're feeling more dead than alive
You're feeling more dead than alive

So I'll let you know if you need

I've been down
wandering past 2nd street
and looking at the ghosts
of you and me and thinking back on
all those memories of how we used to be

I've been hearing
hear those voices

I've been down
wandering past 2nd street
and looking at the ghosts
of you and me and thinking back on
all those memories of how we used to be

I've been hearing
I hear those voices

I fell asleep last Saturday
Underneath polluted skies
I walked alone on those Jersey nights, and I
Saw the boardwalk start to fall
The emptiness starts to drown
The quiet corners off this town, and I...
Late last night, I made my plans
It was the only thing I felt I could do

I've come to my senses,
That I've become senseless,
I could give you lessons on how to ruin your friendships,
Every last conviction, I smoked them all away,
I drank my frustrations down the drain, out of the way,
So I sit and wait and wonder,
"Does anyone else feel like me?"
Someone so tired of their routines and disappearing self-esteems,

So you're feeling like you're just a waste of space now
and you keep feeling like you're always out of place,
Don't you think it's strange you always feel the same now?
Who measures the desperate measures,
When it gets too much to remember
There is a space they just can't touch
and this pressures on to be good enough
it's all the words that add weight

We go together like ramma lamma lamma ka dinga da dinga dong
Remembered forever as shoo-bop sha whada whadda yippidy boom da boom
Chang chang changity chang shoo bop that's the way it should be
Waooo Yeah

We're one of a kind like dip da dip da dip do whap de dobby do
Our names are signed like boogy boogy boogy boogy shooby shoo wap shoo wap
Chang chang changity chang shoo bop we'll always be like one
