• 1. I Don't Want To Know (If You Don't Want Me)

  I know where you live yeah
  and i wanna live there too
  i drive by almost every day
  it's no trouble cus it's on my way
  when am i gonna get to see you

  i won't be misunderstood
  it won't do you any good
  think i'm not the one you could
  when i know that you would

  i don't wanna know if you don't want me, no
  i don't wanna know if you don't want me no

  i have a shirt that belongs to you
  and i use it to guess all the things you do
  i've already met your mom and dad
  said i'm the best one you've never had
  and i think you should really reconsider

  i watched you through the window last night
  and i thought i saw a girl in the candlelight
  you think that's fair after all i've done
  restraining orders one by one
  and i sure hope that was your sister

• 2. Friends Like Mine

  cmon and show me
  that you really know me
  so close so tight
  at least for tonight

  turning silver and gold into rubber and glue
  you're not supposed to let it get to you
  that's easy to say but hard to do

  when you roll back into town
  they'll all be around - just to show you
  that friends like mine will never let you down
  until you hit the ground - then they don't know you

  take what you can borrow
  but what about tomorrow
  just have to wait and see
  what's in it for me

  you're an open book
  here's a mirror, take a look
  don't like what you see
  don't come to me
  (when you smile at me
  there's nothing underneath)

• 3. Don't Break Me Down

  Don't break me, don't break me down
  Can't you see, my hands on the ground?
  I can't remember my name,
  and i promise, it won't be the same

  Did you steal it?
  Can you feel it?
  Cause I'm starting to feel it now,
  so don't break me down

  Don't break me, don't break me down
  Don't bury, my words in the ground
  I can't sleep at night,
  and I know without me that you're not alright

  Can you taste it?
  Can you face it?
  Cause I'm ready to face it now,
  so don' t break me down

  I know I'm holding too tight
  but just gimme some time, and I'll get it right

• 4. Fall Behind Me

  I can't believe she bought it
  Got too close and she caught it
  Had a point, but she forgot it

  When you skip steps on the way up
  The gaps have a way of catching up
  and you can't cover that with makeup

  You're gonna fall behind me
  You're gonna cry and beg for mercy
  Cause you're not ready baby
  And you've got nothing on me

  Now that I'm getting to know her
  Part of me wants to show her
  who she's really screwing over

  But part of me wants to leave her
  cause no one helped us either
  and that's exactly why we're still here

  How long's she gonna be around
  Beat the horse and dumb it down
  How long's she gonna be in town
  How long we gotta keep her down

• 5. Is That All You've Got For Me

  oh you've got lights they burn out for you
  and you've got eyes, cocaine white and blue
  all you is wine and good friends
  cos luck like yours, it never ends

  or did you think it'd last forever?
  Is that it, Is that all you got for me?
  just a copy of a copy
  i won't let you have it for free

  a pick me up and then you're off again
  the crowd's there to see if you'll sink or swim
  they laugh and clap when you crash and burn
  but they'll be back for your big return
  (they never learn)

  or did you think it'd last forever?
  Is that it, Is that all you got for me?
  just a copy of a copy
  i won't let you have it for free

  watch the smoke fade, you finally got your space
  wander the streets, but no one knows your face
  your senior slump, it was a flop
  so give it up down to the top

  is that it, is that it?

  Is that it, Is that all you got for me?
  just a copy of a copy
  i won't let you have it for free

  Is that it, Is that all you got for me?
  just a copy of a copy
  i won't let you have it for free

• 6. It's So Hard

  I'm not obsessed, i could care less
  i just wanna get you undressed
  the less you talk, the more you say
  don't let words get in the way

  it's so hard to be on your own
  when you're holdin it all alone
  and you've been workin it to the bone
  it's so hard, it's so hard

  you're just another guy with a wanderin eye
  and I'm just a gemini
  i don't see what's the harm
  if we don't set off the alarm

  it's so hard to be on your own
  when you're holdin it all alone
  and you've been workin it to the bone
  it's so hard, it's so hard

  don't mind if i do
  there's something i wanna show you
  don't mind if you don't
  remember this baby cause i won't

  it's so hard to be on your own
  when you're holdin it all alone
  and you've been workin it to the bone
  it's so hard, it's so hard
  it's so hard, it's so hard
  it's so hard, it's so hard

• 7. The Gold Medal

  so what were you expecting
  every song has a perfect ending
  but that's not good enough
  not good enough for you

  i thought you opened up your gates
  you claim that everyone relates
  what was i thinking when i thought
  that meant me too

  i'll take note
  put on my coat
  leave you to read what i wrote
  so sorry you never wanted me
  but that's how you made me want the gold medal!!!!!

  cheer on the circus clowns
  "this is the best of the towns"
  what do you get from them
  that you couldn't get from me?

  it's where i got my start
  but not where i left my heart
  i take that with me
  now i've seen what's underneath

  i'll take note
  put on my coat
  leave you to read what i wrote
  so sorry you never wanted me
  but that's how you made me want the gold medal!!!!!

  i'll take note
  put on my coat
  leave you to read what i wrote
  so sorry you never wanted me
  but that's how you made me want the gold medal!!!!!

  i'll take note
  put on my coat
  leave you to read what i wrote
  so sorry you never wanted me
  but that's how you made me want the gold medal!!!!!

• 8. Out Of My Hands

  I'm sick of the state we're in
  and every little thread is wearing thin
  i've been livin life in the slow lane
  but something's gotta change

  what time is it where you are
  you're in bed and i'm at a bar
  and right now opposites subtract
  and i don't know if i can bridge the gap

  phone bills, and missed calls,
  have got us, they've got us
  at the mercy of a mile
  in no place to make demands
  i'll make it worth your while
  but right now it's out of my hands
  out of my hands

  ode to sleep pillows and sheets
  the last place i'd expect us to meet
  i'll be back before you know
  so don't worry if you're running low

  phone bills, and missed calls,
  they got us, they got us hangin
  at the mercy of a mile
  in no place to make demands
  i'll make it worth your while
  but right now it's out of my hands
  out of my hands

  at the mercy of a mile
  in no place to make demands
  i'll make it worth your while
  but right now it's out of my hands

  we're at the mercy of a mile
  in no place to make demands
  i'll make it worth your while
  but right now it's out of my hands
  it's out of my hands
  it's out of my hands
  it's out of my hands

• 9. It Takes One To Know One

  you burned your way in under my skin
  when nobody was lookin
  it's so easy to talk about me
  when i'm not around to say

  I may not be a man, but you're not one either
  It takes one to know one (takes one to know one)
  who's calling names, and pointing fingers
  it takes one to know one (takes one to know one)

  cut me then blame me for bleeding
  you won't see me begging and pleading
  it's so easy to talk about me
  when i'm not around to say

  you tell me what i'm suppposed to do, that's funny coming from you
  not a boy not yet a man, you've never even done time in a van
  you don't know what you're talkin about, it's time somebody called you out
  tell me am i speaking english, or is this just a deathwish?!

  just because we're face to face,
  doesn't mean that we're eye to eye

  i may not be a man but you're not one either
  it takes one to know one
  whos calling names and pointing fingers
  it takes one to know one (takes one to know one)
  its age before beauty and you got neither
  it takes one to know one (takes one to know one)

• 10. Revolver

  half cocked and fully loaded
  not even tryin to sugar coat it
  you're aimed at me but you're shootin blanks
  and it doesn't hurt thanks but no thanks

  but it's a matter of time
  till you get yours, and i get mine
  it might not be me
  but you're gonna answer to somebody
  revolver

  you've got one foot in your mouth, and one foot in the grave
  you were diggin a hole, and now you're diggin a cave
  but it's not gonna be so funny anymore
  by the time you wake up sobered up and sore

  but it's a matter of time
  till you get yours, and i get mine
  it might not be me
  but you're gonna answer to somebody
  revolver

  i left my comebacks at the door
  i didn't know what i was in for
  you're deeper than you've ever been before
  you're deeper than you've ever been before

  you've got one foot in your mouth, and one foot in the grave
  you were diggin a hole, and now you're diggin a cave
  but it's a matter of time
  till you get yours, and i get mine
  it might not be me
  but you're gonna answer to somebody
  revolver

• 11. Have You No Pride

  (1 2 3 4)
  shoe gazers in blazers
  introduce you to razors, so that
  the wilson twins- they can see you
  in all your glory in all your glory

  don't you care what all the people say
  you don't care you're gonna do it any way
  all eyes on you and they're burning holes till
  there's no one left inside
  have you no pride

  how many pairs do you own
  how many patches have you sewn on your sleeve
  now don't you dare mend the holes
  they tell your story yeah they tell your story (sell your story)

  don't you care what all the people say
  you don't care you're gonna do it any way
  all eyes on you and they're burning holes till
  there's no one left inside
  have you no pride

  what do you write in that journal
  some kind of infernal poetry
  so that I'll offer my help
  but don't you worry, now don't you worry

  don't you care what all the people say
  you don't care you're gonna do it any way
  you're hollowed out and you're caving in
  there's no one left inside
  have you no pride

  let's take a walk through the crowd
  let's take a walk through the crowd
  let's take a walk through the crowd
  let's take a walk through the crowd
  let's take a walk through the crowd
