The warm autumn sun shines over golden leaves As we walk through your sleepy hometown The wind throws your hair around your face as you laugh Summer’s got nothin’ on you and me right now And as the leaves blow around you and me, I know this is how it’s meant to be ‘Cause the only thing that’s on my mind is if I should take your hand in mine I don’t know what this could be, but you make me wanna find out You’re always on my mind You’re always on my mind ‘Cause when you’re not here with me, you’re all I think about - whoa! You’re always on my mind You’re always on my mind I always wish we had more time ‘Cause you’re always on my mind We walk through quiet streets as the sun begins to set And shadows start to grow along the road It gets a little colder so I put my arms around you And now I never want to let you go And I wish that I’d known how to drive ‘cause then I could’ve stayed with you all night But I have to catch a bus downtown and it hurts ‘cause I don’t wanna leave you now I don’t know what this could be, but you make me wanna find out You’re always on my mind You’re always on my mind ‘Cause when you’re not here with me, you’re all I think about - whoa! You’re always on my mind You’re always on my mind I always wish we had more time ‘Cause you’re always on my mind We get back to your door as the daylight slips away And the sunset lights us up a fiery red I’m so nervous I can’t think but you hold me close and kiss my cheek And bring your lips up to my ear and you said I don’t know what this could be, but you make me wanna find out You’re always on my mind You’re always on my mind ‘Cause when you’re not here with me, you’re all I think about - whoa! You’re always on my mind You’re always on my mind I always wish we had more time ‘Cause you’re always on my mind I don’t know what this could be, whoa! But there’s something between you and me, whoa! Yeah you make me wanna find out, whoa! ‘Cause you’re all I think about, whoa! And I wish we had more time, whoa! ‘Cause you’re always on my mind That autumn walk in your hometown Well summer’s got nothin’ on us right now

Flatliner 02:46
This is a call, an announcement, an obituary For anyone who tries to tie our hands behind our backs Y’must not have seen the wreckage strewn behind us from others who tried the same ‘Cause when the pressure’s on, the heat is up, we’re not ones to Crack like glass or shatter like porcelain, like so many of those who stood in our way But we’re just as sharp as those broken pieces Try your best to do your worst, but We were born for the times when things get rough Yeah we can take you down; we can chew you up So let us know when you’ve had enough Y’might think you’re spitting bullets with all the words that you fire our way But you make no sense; all we hear is [ba-ba ba-da- da-da ba-ba!] Your condescension, your constant condemnation Well, it don’t mean a thing to us; we’re weary of the tyranny Try your best to do your worst, but We were born for times when things get rough Yeah we can take you down; we can chew you up So let us know when you’ve had enough Try your best to do your worst, but We were born for times when things get rough Yeah we can take you down; we can chew you up So let us know when you’ve had enough All the mud and grit, the stones and sticks, the punches and the kicks Yeah we might spit out blood but we’re still standing So try your best to do your worst, but We were born for times when things get rough Yeah we can take you down; we can chew you up So let us know when you’ve had enough Try your best to do your worst, but We were born for times when things get rough Yeah we can take you down; we can chew you up So let us know when you’ve had enough Try your best to do your worst, but We were born for times when things get rough Yeah we can take you down; we can chew you up So let us know when you’ve had enough

Well I believed in us; I really thought we had a chance I couldn’t see the truth, caught up in the romance But you came home one night and wouldn’t look me in the face I tried to ask you why but you just said you needed space So I just kinda waited, hoping we’d fall back in place But I guess I’ve moved on, ‘cause you’ve been gone for days And I haven’t thought about you, or been wishing that you stayed And if you come back around, I know exactly what I’ll say You missed your chance, now I’ve gone my own way The next day you were gone, it was over; we were done and dusted And all my friends were right: you should’ve never been trusted What you did to me, I’d never do to you And honestly you’re just not worth the pain you put me through So go do what you want, and I’ll find someone new Yeah I know it hurt for that moment when I said goodbye But the sting doesn’t matter when it’s getting rid of all your lies You locked me up but now I found the key You trapped me in but now I’m breaking free I don’t care what happens next because anything is better than you and me Well I believe in us; I really thought we had a chance I couldn't see the truth And I guess I’ve moved on, ‘cause you’ve been gone for days And I haven’t thought about you, or been wishing that you stayed And if you come running back, I know exactly what I’ll say You missed your chance, now I’ve gone my own way Thought you were the one, I thought that you were rare But you sat there for months, pretending like you cared I guess I should have known that the feeling wasn't there So I'm moving past this thing that's broken way beyond repair

Oh well there it goes, another night down the drain Can't seem to stop yourself, the momentum’s like a train You say that the perfect night is one you can’t remember But even a hundred perfect nights will never make things better All these nights just blur together but you keep wanting more And every morning you wake up in worse shape than before You sing about the poison but there’s no need to sink so low ‘Cause things will only turn around if you let this habit go Whoa-oh! You’ve got better things to do Whoa-oh! So don’t let it consume you Life’s not worth the story if you stay home at night But there can’t be a story if you can’t recall what to write You say these days a cloudy haze helps you feel less alone But even airplanes leave the clouds to make it safely home Whoa-oh! You’ve got better things to do Whoa-oh! So don’t let it consume you Whoa-oh! You’re sinking way too low Whoa-oh! You’ve gotta let this go Whoa-oh! You’ve got better things to do Whoa-oh! So don’t let it consume you Whoa-oh! You’re sinking way too low Whoa-oh! You’ve gotta let this go

Every single song in this scene just sounds the same It’s all just whining about some girl who ran away Maybe things ended badly but that’s okay ‘Cause if it had to end then things weren’t really ever that great It’s not set in stone that every girl will break your heart And if they do, take a look in the mirror and see that you played a part It’s not fair to those with good intentions when you always blame someone else So don’t defend pop-punk - if you can’t defend yourself It seems so simple when it’s put into a song It’s black and white; you’re right and she was wrong But everyone makes mistakes and you’re just the same So how can you justify letting someone else take all the blame? It’s not set in stone that every girl will break your heart And if they do, take a look in the mirror and see that you played a part It’s not fair to those with good intentions when you always blame someone else So don’t defend pop-punk - if you can’t defend yourself I know a broken heart can feel like it’s never going to mend But that doesn’t mean the next time it’s gonna break all over again It’s up to us to see each other as more than just an easy cover For our own mistakes and our gloomy weather; yeah it’s up to us, and we can do better It’s not set in stone that every girl will break your heart And if they do, take a look in the mirror and see that you played a part It’s not fair to those with good intentions when you always blame someone else So don’t defend pop-punk - if you can’t defend yourself

Electric 03:29
Tonight's not the first time that I've seen you around But tonight's the first time my voice can make a sound at all I know you've heard about me & my superhuman ability to turn Passion into apathy, but now you're in my way And I know I’ve made mistakes But I’ve moved on from those days So stay with me and I know we’ll be okay So let’s run through these sleeping streets, through neighbourhoods down to the beach And I’ll show you how you illuminate the night Your eyes, they flash so perfectly; I wanna keep that spark right next to me I’m addicted to your energy and light Yeah you’re electric tonight I can turn a spark into a flame, but it'll burn out by morning And it always seems to end the same, it's my fault 'cause I give no warning But when you walk in the room, all eyes are turned to you And when yours meet mine, I know you feel that something more is possible too And I know I’ve made mistakes But I’ve moved on from those days So stay with me and I know we’ll be okay So let’s run through these sleeping streets, through neighbourhoods down to the beach And I’ll show you how you illuminate the night Your eyes, they flash so perfectly; I wanna keep that spark right next to me I’m addicted to your energy and light Yeah you’re electric Don’t go now, ‘cause we’re just getting started So stay tonight, and I’ll show you all the Dark streets that light up when you’re with me This night could last a lifetime Don’t go now, ‘cause we’re just getting started So stay tonight, and I’ll show you all the Dark streets that light up when you’re with me This night could last a lifetime Don’t go now, ‘cause we’re just getting started So stay tonight, and I’ll show you all the Dark streets that light up when you’re with me This night could last a lifetime Don’t go now, ‘cause we’re just getting started So stay tonight, and I’ll show you all the Dark streets that light up when you’re with me This night could last a lifetime
